Sao loucas

They are crazy

Sao loucas

She cries for her sailorElle pleure son marin
Her sailor is not hersSon marin n'est pas le sien
She says the waves are crazyElle dit que les vagues sont folles
She says the waves are crazyElle dit que les vagues sont folles
When she sings fadoQuand elle chante le fado
Her song is a birdSon chant est un oiseau
A bird that flies awayUn oiseau qui s'envole
A bird that flies awayUn oiseau qui s'envole

They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas

The bird carries a prayerL'oiseau emporte une prière
To a message in a bottleVers une bouteille à la mer
Her address is the open seaSon adresse c'est le grand large
Her address is the open seaSon adresse c'est le grand large
From the street of rigueraDa rua da riguera
In the heart of AlfamaAu cœur d'Alfama
They say the old woman is crazyOn dit que la vieille est barge
They say the old woman is crazyOn dit que la vieille est barge

They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas

But as soon as she puts on the shawlMais dès qu'elle porte le châle
Silence fallsLe silence s'installe
We listen to her wordsOn écoute ses paroles
We listen to her wordsOn écoute ses paroles
She places on her backElle pose sur ses reins
The lines of her handsLes lignes de ses mains
That fill with alcoholQui se remplissent d'alcool
That fill with alcoholQui se remplissent d'alcool

They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas

Then she closes her eyesAlors elle ferme les yeux
She is alone before GodElle est seule devant Dieu
She is not afraid of anyoneElle n'a peur de personne
She is not afraid of anyoneElle n'a peur de personne
And when she closes her eyesE dez que ela fecha os olhos
Alone in front of GodSozinha em frente de Deus
Saying they are crazyA dizer que elas sao loucas
Saying they are crazyA dizer que elas sao loucas

They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas

She gives her sorrowElle donne son chagrin
Her sorrow is no longer hersSon chagrin n'est plus le sien
It belongs to LisbonC'est celui de Lisbonne
It belongs to LisbonC'est celui de Lisbonne
Where women wear blackOù des femmes portent le noir
And in the guitar casesEt dans les caisses des guitares
There is saudade that resonatesE a saudade qui résonne
There is saudade that resonatesE a saudade qui résonne

They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy, they are crazySao loucas, sao loucas
