A rima mais bonita [English translation]
I'm tired of the poems I have written,
Yet I didn't have the courage to destroy them;
They're verses, my love, they talk about you...
Even if sometimes, they pretend they can't speak!
The fado, when the night arrived,
Became really happy when it saw me;
It asked me for new poems and I didn't have any:
I destroyed them even before I had written them!
Now, when fado pays me a visit,
It already brings poems made out of sadness:
Tired, it choses the most beautiful rhyme
And leaves it, all but forgotten, on the table...
Thus, sorrow comes and I go back
To those quatrains I hadn't finished:
They're verses, my love, when I start them
But, as soon as I finish them, they're already fado!
