Original text with translation
Amália Rodrigues
Velhas pedras que pisei
Saiam da vossa mudez
Venham dizer o que sei
Venham falar português
Sejam duras como a lei
E puras como a nudez
Minha lágrima salgada
Caíu no lenço da vida
Foi lembrança naufragada
E para sempre perdida
Foi vaga despedaçada
Contra o cais da despedida
Visitei tantos países
Conheci tanto luar
Nos olhos dos infelizes
E porque me hei-de gastar?
Vou ao fundo das raízes
E hei-de gastar-me a cantar
Old stones that I stepped on
Get out of your dumbness
Come tell me what I know
come speak portuguese
Be tough as the law
And pure as nudity
my salty tear
Fell into the handkerchief of life
It was shipwrecked memory
And forever lost
It was shattered vacancy
Against the farewell pier
I visited so many countries
I knew so much moonlight
In the eyes of the unfortunate
And why should I spend it?
I go to the bottom of the roots
And I will spend myself singing
