Trigueirinha [English translation]

Little brunette one with green eyes,

Let's see if you will lose

Your mocking air!

You walk by gracefully

And every fado singer

Loses his head...

If you're a proud folk singer,

Come and sing for a challenge,

But do take care.

Don't make any missteps,

Because your embroidered shawl

Has already set my destiny's path...

Hit the fado, little brunette one,

Give me your hand right now...

Little brunette one, get the rhythm right

With the beating of my heart!

Throw a love folk tune my way

That speaks about fado!

A gypsy woman who loved

As I would like to be loved...

As the guitar started to trill,

Were loosened those binds

That were holding us down...

How sad was that fado in the end:

You're the one who behaved wrongly

And I am the one who's paying for it!

Hit the fado, little brunette one,

Give me your hand right now...

Little brunette one, get the rhythm right

With the beating of my heart!
