Que Deus me perdoe [English translation]

If only my hidden soul

were able to be seen,

and if how I suffer in silence

could only be told,

Everyone would see

How unhappy I am,

That my joy is pretense

That I cry when I sing

May God forgive me

If it be a crime or sin,

But this is how I am,

seeking refuge in Fado,

I was fleeing from me.

I cry when I sing

And nothing can hurt me

If it is then a sin

To love Fado,

May God forgive me.

When I sing I do not think

About the bad in the world

I do not even belong

No evil comes to me.

I want to find the truth

And to dream - a long dream

That there is only happiness

And sadness does not exist.

May God forgive me

If it be a crime or sin,

But this is how I am,

seeking refuge in Fado,

I was fleeing from me.

I cry when I sing

And nothing can hurt me

If it is then a sin

To love Fado,

May God forgive me.

I cry when I sing

And nothing can hurt me

If it is then a sin

To love Fado,

May God forgive me.
