Nao ha vocabulo maior
Nem forca do universo
P'ra traduzir esse verso
Que confunde amor e dor
Albergue de quem e triste
Fortuna do condenado
Que ve no espelho do fado
A alma que em si existe
Queria poder dizer
O que essa voz me diz
Estrela de um dia feliz
Ou de um doce entristecer
Fica-me a louca missao
Desejo mais ousado
De puder cantar num fado
O mapa do coracao
Wiekszego nie ma wsrod slow
Ni zycia we wszechswiecie
A jak tlumaczyc ten werset
Co myli milosc i bol
Schronienie pelne smutku
Fortuna (Pomyslnosc) dla skazanca
Co widzi w lustrze losu
Osamotniona dusza
Chcialabym moc powiedziec,
Co glos ten mowi do mnie
Dzien spod szczesliwej gwiazdy
Taki slodko zasmucony
Daje mi misje szalona
I zyczy wiecej odwagi
Byc w stanie spiewac Fado
To mape do serca miec
No major word
Or power in the universe
Is able to translate this verse
Which confuses the love and the pain
It is dwelling for the sad
And wealth for the doomed one
Whose own soul he sees reflected
In the mirror of the fado
Wish I could tell you what
This voice in me is telling
My shining star in a day of joy
Or in the sweet saddening of the heart
And I am left nothing but my crazy mission,
And most daring wish:
To sing through the verses from a fado
The map of a heart
