Lyrics

Mafalda Arnauth - Contra Ventos e Marés

Hei-de cantar o meu fado
Pelo mundo lés-a-lés
Coração ao povo dado
Contra ventos e marés Se o fado canta saudade
Na sua voz mais sentida
Também canta liberdade
De ser gente nesta vida Cantando às vezes tristeza
Mágoa de sede sem fonteMafalda Arnauth - Contra Ventos e Marés - http://motolyrics.com/mafalda-arnauth/contra-ventos-e-mares-lyrics-english-translation.html
Foi nos mares de incerteza
Asa febril de horizonte Se o fado, se é fado inteiro
Fado antigo ou fado novo
Deste país marinheiro
Canta a alma deste povo Minha terra que eu nem sei
Ó tanto que tanto és
Ao fado te cantarei
Contra ventos e marés

English translation

Mafalda Arnauth - Against Wind and Tide/ Against All Odds (English translation)

I will sing my fado
For the whole world
Heart given to the people
Against all odds

If the fado sings of longing
In a voice more heartfelt
It sings as well of freedom
For the people in this life

Singing sometimes of sadness
Grief of thirst without sourceMafalda Arnauth - Contra Ventos e Marés - http://motolyrics.com/mafalda-arnauth/contra-ventos-e-mares-lyrics-english-translation.html
It was on the seas of uncertainty
The feverish wing of the horizon

If the fado, whether it is complete
Old fado or new fado
Is of this country, the sailor
Sings the soul of this people

My country I do not know
The full extent of what it is
So I will sing you this fado
Against all odds.
