Pela rua da saudadeVejo cores infinitasCaminhando pela cidadeSinto as cores da vida
Na rua do meu passadoFalava tambem a desgraçaE por se cantar o fadoHavia uma cor de esperança
Na rua da minha infanciaBrincavamos à vidaEramos duas criançasCom a inocencia vivida
E hoje tudo mudouCaminhos desencontradosRuas pintadas de corQue se cruzam num fado
TRADUCTION
Par la rue de la saudadeJe vois des couleurs infiniesEn marchant dans la villeJe sens les couleurs de la vie
Dans la rue de mon passéParlait aussi la disgrâce
Et parc-qu’on chantait le fadoIl y avait une couleur d'espoir
Dans la rue de mon enfanceNous jouions à la vie
Nous étions deux enfantsAvec l'innocence vécue
Et aujourd'hui tout à changéChemins opposésRues pleines de couleursQui se croisent en un fado

One day if you don’t mindI’ll take you undergroundWhere the freaks dance aroundUnder the vaults of a forgotten cave
There’ll be crazy bandsActing extremely strangelyThere might be monster gangsWho knows what arises when you’re open to change?
And we’ll be sliding in the darkWith magnifying glassesIt all seems to be so starkBut we love seedy places
And this black will be as brightAs the rays of the sunlightAnd the colours of their smilesWill paint our lips in mauveAnd I’ll stop holding backThose words I love you
A flood of words will gush upWe’ll speak and speak endlesslyWe’ll fill our eyes with passionUnder the vaults of the forgotten cave
Lifted up by the momentOverwhelmed with emotionsOur hearts will skip a few beatsWho knows what arises when you’re open to change?
I know your heart is differentYou don’t resemble what you areSo one day if you don’t mindI’d like to take you underground
Where the black will be as brightAs the rays of the sunlightAnd the colours of the smilesWill paint our lips in mauveAnd I’ll stop holding
Those words I love you
