Краљичин огртач

Носим у линији живота
Тако мрачну усамљеност
Лутам улицама носталгије
На длану моје руке
 
Ја сам заборављена статуа
На плажама са краја света
На раскршћима са хиљаду стаза
Држим се линије живота
 
Срце невољено
Црна ружа у мојим грудима
Свето место где чувам
Тако мрачну самоћу
 
Нема ни лажи ни истине
Љубав је кораке изгубила
У фадо песмама које певам месечини
Лутам улицама носталгије
 
У знак саосећања према
Лобањи судбине
Спусти огртач краљичин
На длан моје руке.
 

Black Rose Upon My Breast

Right by the edge of your destiny,
I placed my heart.
You lost it somewhere down the road:
Oh, my loneliness!
 
A black rose was born
Right by the 's wall

What Silence Is This Voice?

What word is silence itself?
What silence is this voice
Which, in a suspended sob,
Weeps flowers within us?
 
I only know that in this destiny,
I seek out what I don't know...
I'm already feeling tired
Because of the steps I've never taken.
 
Ah! If a star
Would take me away now
With its light and, suddenly,
My shadow were filled with light!
 
I've arrived...
I've arrived after the stars,
But I corrected the mistake
By hoisting my sails...
 
Like the Virgin of Destruction,
Who is the moonlight of ruins,
I shall plant forests of bones
Where there were seven hills. 1
 
Once they consider me dead,
Tears... Not even a glass of liquor!
I have a four leaf clover
Under my tongue!
 
[Instrumental]
 
I walk across the linen fields
Of poet king :
Throw a pine tree flower
And, where it falls, there's a country!
 

• 1. This refers to Lisbon, which just like Rome, was built across seven hills.

Believe

I believe
Even though you are changing
Oh yes
I believe
There are things that you can’t change
 
I’m not going to cry now
My smile that came out of my sadness
Will glow powerfully in your eyes and in your heart
 
“I love you”
I can be strong like this by just telling you so
Ah there is so much that I want to tell you
I want get you
 
I don’t say “goodbye” Darlin
Because my smile will be broken
Until the plane departs
Ah please understand
 
I believe
Even though the world is changing
I believe
There are things that cannot change
 
Don’t look at me now
Look for the tenderness that comes out of loneliness
Deep in my eyes
I can’t be so strong
 
“I love you”
If these words can be the answer
Ah I wanted to tell you many times
I wanna get you
 
I can’t say “goodbye” Darlin
Because my smile will be broken
Ah your figure gets blurry and small
As you are leaving
 
I don’t say “goodbye” Darlin
So many words that have piled up in my mind
They are waiting for the day when I fly to you
 

Poetic Freedoms

Forgive me if this fado is made with
Poetic freedoms!
It's not so much because of the rhyme or the melody,
Nor because of the asymmetrical sentences:
It's just that the violent jealousy
That fado sings so very often,
In this fade, is just a fire
That burns rather slowly, rather softly
While turning my throat into velvet...
 
I didn't want to add a new sound to this fado
Nor poetic freedoms!
Introduce me, guitarist! Give me the right tone!
Your style is my aesthetic

Orphans' Tears

Versions: #1
O orphans’ tears! For love should weather sorrow to grow stronger
You’re on my mind

The days that I will never forget

For a little while longer
Keep holding my hand like this
This is the last time that we can call each other “my love”
 
Even the memories from when we were hurt so much
Now fill my heart with tender feelings like this
I wonder why
 
But please do not forget
The tears we shed
Please remember them
As the time passes us by
 
With a little bit of time
Even if our hands are apart
One day we can call each other “friends”
 
I gently close my eyes
And try to remember the shapes
Of the clouds that are passing us right now
 
Please don’t forget
The days the two of us discovered
The days I couldn’t have found
If I was with someone else
 
Let’s keep walking forever
While dreaming our dreams
Even if we meet someone else and fall in love
 
So my love
Please don’t forget
Even the tears we shed
All the memories till now
Please remember them
As the time passes us by
 
Please don’t forget
The days the two of us discovered
The days I couldn’t have found
If I was with someone else
 
Even though our days will not come back ever again
Those days in the photo frame
When the two of us were smiling together
 

Without saying goodbye

Forever lasting night as if we are lost in it
I’m looking for you, relying only on your voice
 
I’m alone inside this room, afraid of something invisible
I pray to the night sky with fear
so sorrow won’t sneak into you and take you away from me
 
Without even saying goodbye
I can’t even say “thank you”
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t leave me alone
 
In the city on a lockdown where people are separated
Even the time feels still, yet only the time is flowing
 
Until the joy will unlock this door someday
 
I haven’t said “I love you”
I haven’t held you tight
Don’t go
Don’t go
I call your name
 
Don’t let those eyes tell me “thank you”
Don’t let your smile tell me “thank you”
Instead of saying “goodbye”
 
Someday when our hearts will look back these days
What will we consider sadness and what will we consider happiness?
 
Please please
Don’t go
Don’t go
Without even saying “goodbye”
I can’t even say “thank you”
I scream like a child
 
I haven’t touched your hand
I haven’t held you tight
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t leave me alone
 

Forever lasting stories

Flowers bloom while shedding overnight dew
People go on while wiping away their tears
Memories in the past gently called me back
But I knocked on your door
 
It’s my forever lasting story
that keeps rotating the little star
I believe
 
I look back the past fondly in the gently blowing winds
I was hurt but some doors opened because of it
 
I’m not good at expressing myself
I can’t put my overflowing thoughts into words very well
 
I'm going my way
Let’s open up my heart
And let’s step onto the road that I believe in
My forever lasting story
No one can judge the dream I painted for myself
 
I’m not good at expressing myself
I can’t put my overflowing thoughts into words very well
 
I'm going my way
Let’s open up our hearts
And let’s step onto the road that we believe in
 
Our forever lasting stories
No one can judge the dreams we painted for ourselves
 
Just going my way
You just keep going on the road that you believe in
 
It’s our forever lasting dreams
that keep rotating the little star
I believe
I believe
 

Claws of the senses

Versions: #2
I don't want to sing about loves,
Loves are doomed steps.
They are cold rays of sunlight,
Green claws of the senses.
They are rampant horses
With wings of iron and lead,
Fallen into the deep waters.
I don't want to sing about loves.
Forbidden paradises,
Unjust contentment,
Happy adversity,
Loves are doomed steps.
They are imbecility of the vision,
A cheerful feast of sobbing.
They are obedient rage,
They are cold rays of sunlight.
Protected from bad luck
Prudent people have
On their prodigious hands
Green claws of the senses.
I don't want to sing about loves
Nor speak of their motives.
 

Časovi tame

Na dan
Kad ja budem odlazila,
Ne znam hoće li plakati
Onaj što me odvodi.
 
U času tom
Oproštaja
Moj život
Gotov je već.
 
Sada
Samo protiči vodo
Žalosti
Kakvu ljubav si mi dao,
I život
U srcu
Praznina je jedna
Od duboke tame sačinjena...
 
Na ulici,
U svitanje,
Ova balada
Tužna je i stidljiva,
 
I u mesecu
Kada sam pokušala
Videti ko to peva,
Videla sam da sam to ja!
 
Sada
Samo teci vodo
Žalosti
Kakvu ljubav si mi dao,
I život
U srcu
Praznina je jedna
Od duboke tame sačinjena...
 

To not live alone

To not live alone
One lives with a dog
One lives with roses
Or with a cross.
In order not to live alone
One makes one's own movie
One loves a souvenir
A shadow, just anything.
To not live alone
One lives for the springtime
And when the springtime dies
For the following springtime.
To not live alone
I love you and I wait for you
To have the illusion
That I’m not living alone.
To not live alone
Girls love girls
And one sees guys
Marrying guys.
To not live alone
Others make children
Children who are alone
Like all the children.
To not live alone
One makes cathedrals
Where all those who are alone
Hang on to a star.
To not live alone
I love you and I wait for you
To have the illusion
That I’m not living alone.
To not live alone
One makes friends
And one makes them come together
When the evenings of boredom arrive.
One lives for one's money
One's dreams, one's palaces
But we never have made
A coffin for two.
To not live alone
I live with you
I am alone with you
You are alone with me.
To not live alone
We live like those who want
To give themselves the illusion
That they’re not living alone.
