Não é um fado normal [English translation]

You look at me

With that reserved air

Bursting at the seams

I don't know if I'm in Lisbon

Is it Tokyo or Berlin?

Do not look at me that way!

Because your look has opium

It breaks the equinoxes

Pinches of sesame

But if this is fado

I put aside the sesame

I will go and get the rosemary

And you always look at me:

As if the rosemary in bundles

Were to attract my eyes

I have nothing to do with it

Anyone who breaks this jinx

That I do not answer for myself

And I am, almost exchanging

Bad for good and good for bad

If this is fado,

It is not a normal fado

The exchange, bad for good and good for bad

It is not a normal fado

I am going to places

Never visited before

And some care must be taken

Because there is no compass

And the senses are mixed up

If we walk to God's will

Without sentinel eyes

I will rely on hearing

And nothing is going to be lost

But if this is fado

I will grieve the scene

For the grey tone given

That I do not want to exaggerate;

In the midst of the fog

I insist on seeing your gaze

That I know will not be the last

Something is loosening up

That perhaps I will not have back

And I am, almost exchanging

Bad for good and good for bad

If this is fado,

It is not a normal fado

The exchange, bad for good and good for bad

It is not a normal fado

If this is fado

If this is fado

It is not a normal fado
