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. In effect, Amália wrote the rulebook on what fado could be and on how a female fadista—or fado singer—should perform it, to the extent that she remains an unsurpassable model and an unending source of r… more »

O Fado nasceu um dia
Quando o vento mal bulia
E o céu o mar prolongava
Na amurada dum veleiro
No peito de um marinheiro
Que estando triste cantava
Que estando triste cantava

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 de um 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

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
