Amália Rodrigues

Amália da Piedade Rodrigues,GCSE, GCIH, (July 23, 1920 – October 6, 1999), known as Amália Rodrigues (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐˈmaliɐ ʁuˈðɾiɣɨʃ]), was a Portuguese singer and actress. She was known as the Rainha do Fado ("Queen of Fado") and was most influential in popularizing fado worldwide. She was one of the most important figures in the genre's development, and enjoyed a 50-year recording and stage career. Amália' performances and choice of repertoire pushed fado's boundaries and helped redefine it and reconfigure it for her and subsequent generations.

O Fado nasceu um dia,
Quando o vento mal bulia
E o céu o mar prolongava,
Na amurada dum veleiro,
No peito dum marinheiro

Ai, que lindeza tamanha,
Meu chão , meu monte, meu vale,
De folhas, flores, frutas de oiro,
Vê se vês terras de Espanha,
Areias de Portugal,
Olhar ceguinho de choro.

Na boca dum marinheiro
Do frágil barco veleiro,
Morrendo a canção magoada,
Diz o pungir dos desejos
Do lábio a queimar de beijos
Que beija o ar, e mais nada,
Que beija o ar, e mais nada.

Mãe, adeus. Adeus, Maria.
Guarda bem no teu sentido
Que aqui te faço uma jura:
Que ou te levo à sacristia,
Ou foi Deus que foi servido
Dar-me no mar sepultura.

Ora eis que embora outro dia,
Quando o vento nem bulia
E o céu o mar prolongava,
À proa de outro veleiro
Velava outro marinheiro
Que, estando triste, cantava,
Que, estando triste, cantava.
