O Fado Dos Cheirinhos [English translation]

Oh what a sweet smell the beautiful caldo verde, that you bring in your eyes, has

Oh what a sweet smell the rosemary of hope, that you add in the sauces, has

Oh what a sweet smell the linen clothes, that you hang on the windows to dry, have

Oh what a sweet smell... I like/prefer much more "love with you" than "iscas com elas"

Your mouth smells like cloves

And your body smells like basil

When I smell your hair,…

it's like smelling a red rose

You have a sweet smell of mint

In the pepperiness of your words,…

when you wake in the morning,…

you have the savor of wild herbs

You have a smell of fennel

Even at your fingertips, you do

And you are already as I could be:…

A clove of secrets

There is a smell of the early morning…

In the hills of your breasts

And there is a scented blackberry…

In your beautiful fleshy lips

Your body smells like apple

And even our son

when he be born tomorrow

will have the smell of thyme

Why do you smell so good to me

since the day I saw you?

Actually, you know, my love

it is because you simply have the smell of you!
