Lyrics

José Afonso - Maria Faia

Maria Faia
Eu não sei como te chamas
ó Maria Faia
nem que nome te hei-de eu pôr
ó Maria Faia, ó Faia Maria
Cravo não que tu és rosa
ó Maria Faia
Rosa não que tu és flor
ó Maria Faia ó Faia Maria
Não te quero chamar cravo
ó Maria Faia
Que te estou a engrandecerJosé Afonso - Maria Faia - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/maria-faia-lyrics-english-translation.html
ó Maria Faia ó Faia Maria Chamo-te antes espelho
ó Maria Faia
Onde espero de me ver
ó Maria Faia ó Faia Maria
O meu amor abalou
ó Maria Faia
Deu-me uma linda despedida
ó Maria Faia ó Faia Maria
Abarcou-me a mão direita
ó Maria Faia
Adeus ó prenda querida
ó Maria Faia ó Faia Maria

English translation

José Afonso - Maria Faia (English translation)

I don't know what you're called
Oh Maria Faia
Nor what name to give you
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria.

Carnation no, you're a rose
Oh Maria Faia
Rose no, cause you're a flower
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria.

I don't want to call you a carnation
Oh Maria Faia
Cause then I'm enhancing you
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria

I'd rather call you a mirrorJosé Afonso - Maria Faia - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/maria-faia-lyrics-english-translation.html
Oh Maria Faia,
Where I hope to see myself
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria

My love has parted
Oh Maria Faia,
She gave me a lovely going-away
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria

She clenched her right hand to me
Oh Maria Faia,
Goodbye darling gift
Oh Maria Faia, Faia Maria

(translated from the Portuguese by Phil Meyler)
