Ah fadista! Rodrigo Bueno (English Translation) Lyrics

I have a mania, I am a fado fanatic
I go with it anywhere, if I don’t go, I make a scene
I have a mania, when I hear a guitar
I sing fado with such passion that people go wild and shout:

Oh Fadista! You’re the panther of fado!
Show me how to sing, all tough guy, always swaying
Oh Fadista! Shouts the excited crowd
That’s how you have a strong voice and that’s how you sing!

It’s a disease with no treatment or cure
And no one can stop me if they notice my absence
It’s a disease that kills but makes you live
Singing fado, drinking and listening to what people say:

Oh Fadista! You’re the panther of fado!
… … …

I live for fado! My idea won’t change
This acute fadism is in my blood, it won’t end
I live for fado! I want to die singing
Hearing the crowd shout “Oh tiger! Oh beautiful voice!”

Oh Fadista! You’re the panther of fado!
… … …
