Amalia Rodrigues - Corria atrás das cantigas
Entrei na vida a cantar,
E o meu primeiro lamento,
Se foi cantado a chorar,
Foi logo com sentimento!
Com as outras raparigas,
Pelas ruas a brincar,
Corria ao som das cantigas,
Parava só pra cantar!
Mais tarde, já mulherzinha,

Cantei meu primeiro amor!
E também cantei sozinha
A minha primeira dor!
A vida tenho passado
Alegre e triste, a chorar!
Tem sido vário o meu fado,
Mas constante o meu cantar!
Amalia Rodrigues - I Used to Chase Songs (English translation)
I entered life singing
And my first utterance
If it was sung crying
Was done with feeling!
With the other girls
Through the streets in fun
I used to run to the sound of singing,
Stopping just to sing
Later, by now a little woman,Amalia Rodrigues - Corria atrás das cantigas - http://motolyrics.com/amalia-rodrigues/corria-atras-das-cantigas-lyrics-english-translation.html
I sang of my first love!
And also alone I sang
Of my first pain!
The life I have spent
Happy and sad, crying!
Has been diverse, my fado,
But the one constant, my singing!
