Quem se condói do meu fado Vê bem como agora eu ando De noite sempre acordado De dia sempre sonhando O amor perturbou-me tanto Que este contraste deploro Querendo chorar eu canto Querendo cantar eu choro Curvado à lei dos pesares Não sei se morro ou se vivo Senhor dos outros olhares Só do teu fiquei cativo. Por isso a verdade nua Este tormento contém Minh'alma não sendo tua Não será de mais ninguém!

Celui est ému par mon fado Voit bien en quel état je suis, De nuit toujours éveillé, De jour, toujours rêvant, L'amour m'a tant troublé Que je déplore ce contraste, Quand j'ai envie de pleurer, je chante, Quand je chante, j'ai envie de pleurer. Fléchi par la loi du fardeau, Je ne sais pas si je meurs ou si je vis, maître des autres regards, J'ai été capturé seulement par le tien, À cause de lui la vérité nue Contient ce tourment : Si mon âme n'est pas tienne, Elle ne sera à aucune autre !
