Fado do mal passado [English translation]

The fado of the now past

If you adapt for the future

You are seen as to be played

The rest is left in the dark

Our fado of nostalgia

That consoles us about everything

You have the same utility

As an overcoat in the summer

***

Especially, don't tell me

The world made for good

Each month is another month

And crumbs are made out of bread

Oh time that you are change

Make past the present

Before things boil over

Change the disc and dance along

***

And with each disc and with each change

The changes are at random

Nothing remains the same

And even the people get tired

***

Oh time attentive to the change

Make past the present

After things boil over

The flea jumps on the scale

// Out comes a rare fado

With a salad of the future

Make another hole in the belt

And don't say thank you //
