Com Que Voz

Posted on by Colin Lusk

I think this is originally by Amália and based on a poem by Camões, but I like this version a lot. That pianist really needs to sort his posture out though. I’ve never really been that interested in Camané but the Humanos videos I’ve been watching have really made me warm to him.

EnglishPortuguese
Com que voz chorarei meu triste fado
Que em tão dura paixão me sepultou
Que mor não seja a dor que me deixou o tempo
Que me deixou o tempo de meu bem desenganado
De meu bem desenganado		With what voice will I cry my sad Fado
That has entombed me in this hard passion
May the love not be pain that allowed me the time
Allowed me the time of my disenchanted lover
Of my disenchanted lover
Mas chorar não se estima neste estado
Aonde suspirar nunca aproveitou
Triste quero viver, pois se mudou em tristeza
Pois se mudou em tristeza a alegria do passado
A alegria do passado
De tanto mal, a causa é amor puro
Devido a quem de mim tenho ausente
Por quem a vida e bens dele aventuro		But crying isn’t appreciated in this state
Where I never took the time to breathe
I want to live sadly because it turned into sadness
It turned into sadness, the happiness of the past
The happiness of the past
Pure love is the cause of so much evil
Owning to the one who is away from me
For whom I risk life and all its benefits
Com que voz chorarei meu triste fado
Que em tão dura paixão me sepultou
Que mor não seja a dor que me deixou o tempo
Que me deixou o tempo de meu bem desenganado
De meu bem desenganado, desenganado		With what voice will I cry my sad Fado
That has entombed me in this hard passion
May the love not be pain that allowed me the time
Allowed me the time of my disenchanted lover
Of my disenchanted lover
