Aldina Duarte - Cachecol do Fadista

Peguei o arco-íris pelas pontas
E dei-lhe as duas voltas de um cachecol
A ver se assim das nuvens tu me contas
Porque és agora chuva, agora sol

Porque é que o teu olhar carmim-celeste
Tem do azul toda a melancolia
E o beijo cor da lua, que me deste
Á beira da maçã que em mim floria

Porque há lilases brancos no teu sonho
Promessas cor de fogo no sorriso
Talvez sejam as cores que eu componho
Talvez sejam as cores que eu preciso

Nas verdes madrugadas dos amores
Em todas elas em me sinto tua
Talvez o arco-íris tenha as cores
Que eu só consigo ver á luz do dia
João Monge / Miguel Ramos (Fado Margaridas)

I took the rainbow by the tips

And I gave him the two laps of a scarf

To see if from the clouds you tell me

Why are you now rain, now sun?

Why does your "sky-blue" look

Blue has all the melancholy

And the kiss of the moon, that you gave me

On the edge of the apple in me floria

Because there are white lilacs in your dream

Fire color promises in the smile

Maybe it's the colors I make

Maybe it's the colors I need

In the green dawns of love

In all of them I feel your

Maybe the rainbow has the colors

That I can only see in daylight
