Mariza, Mario Pacheco, João Lyra
Como a água da nascente
Minha mão é transparente
Aos olhos da minha avó
Entre a terra e o divino
Minha avó negra sabia
Essas coisas do destino
Desagua o mar que vejo
Nos rios desse desejo
De quem nasceu para cantar
Um Zambéze feito Tejo
De tão cantado q’invejo
Lisboa, por lá morar
Vejo um cabelo entrançado
E o canto morno do fado
Num xaile de caracóis
Como num conto de fadas
Os batuques são guitarras
E os coqueiros, girassóis
Minha avó negra sabia
Ler as coisas do destino
Na palma de cada olhar
Queira a vida ou que não queira
Disse deus à feiticeira
Que nasci para cantar
Like spring water
my hand is transparent
In my grandmother's eyes
Between the earth and the divine
My black grandmother knew
These things of fate
The sea I see flows out
In the rivers of this desire
From who was born to sing
A Zambéze like Tagus
So sung that I envy
Lisbon, live there
I see braided hair
And the warm song of fado
In a shawl of snails
Like in a fairy tale
The drums are guitars
And the coconut trees, sunflowers
My black grandmother knew
Read the things of the destination
In the palm of each look
Want life or don't
Said god to the sorceress
that I was born to sing
