Fado da Sina

Fate's Blues

Fate's got you in its grip
In the lines drawn
In the palm of your hand
Where two lines
Meet and cross
In your heart
Sign of bitterness
Of pain and torture
Of lost hope
Marked indication
Of shattered love
In the lifeline
And it tells you more
In the love line
That you'll have to endure
The disappointment
Of a light breeze
From another woman
Since bad luck so wished
Your fate tells you
That until you die
You'll have to be
Always unhappy!...

[Chorus]
You can't escape
The dark deadly fate
Your fatal destiny
That a bad star rules
You can lie
To the laws of your heart
But oh, whether you want it
Or not
You have to fulfill your fate!...

Crossing the road
Of the lifeline
Drawn in the hand
You have a cross
The barely contained affection
That was an illusion...
Love that in secret
Was born almost timidly
For your suffering
And it was that image
The ungrateful mirage
Of your thoughts
And even more
Destiny tells you
That you have to endure
Your star
Of divine brightness
Stopped shining
Star that God marked you with
And that shone very little
And whose light
At the foot of the cross
Has already faded!...
