Não há fado sem saudade [English translation]

Longing, longing for you when you are late,

at dawn and in those cold hours,

Awakes passion, breaks my heart,

does not leave my side,

and brings fado to my lips.

There is no fado without longing

no fado without crying,

When the feeling invades

It cannot be silenced

And so fado is born

Full of truth,

It's so destined, there is no fado without longing.

Longing for oneself on nights without the moon

It goes in search of my soul on that dark night,

And to find her, it starts singing

it doesn't leave my side

and brings to my lips fado.

And to find her, it starts singing

it doesn't leave my side,

takes to the streets fado.

There is no fado without longing

no fad without crying,

When he has a feeling,

It cannot be silenced

And so fado is born

Full of truth,

It's so destined there is no fado without longing.
