Perhaps because I love liberty so much
I envy the free life of the sparrows
But well your arms without mercy
And I swear I'll never leave that prison.
I can't hear fado without vibrating
And a don't dominate the fever to sing it
But give me a quivering kiss
You'l see I'll remain, eternally quite.
I adore the sunlight that illuminates me
By grateful and singular mercy of God
But close me in a room night and day
And I'll swap the sunlight for your eyes.
I can't hear fado without vibrating
And I don't dominate the fever to sing it
But give me a quivering kiss
You'l see I'll remain, eternally quiet.
Quietly here just for us, very secretly
I'v always been fearful until no more
But for you to be mine I'm not afraid
Not even of losing my salvation.
I can't hear fado without vibrating...
