Sao loucas
Elle pleure son marin
Son marin n'est pas le sien
Elle dit que les vagues sont folles
Elle dit que les vagues sont folles
Quand elle chante le fado
Son chant est un oiseau
Un oiseau qui s'envole
Un oiseau qui s'envole
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
L'oiseau emporte une prière
Vers une bouteille à la mer
Son adresse c'est le grand large
Son adresse c'est le grand large
Da rua da riguera
Au cœur d'Alfama
On dit que la vieille est barge
On dit que la vieille est barge
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Mais dès qu'elle porte le châle
Le silence s'installe
On écoute ses paroles
On écoute ses paroles
Elle pose sur ses reins
Les lignes de ses mains
Qui se remplissent d'alcool
Qui se remplissent d'alcool
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Alors elle ferme les yeux
Elle est seule devant Dieu
Elle n'a peur de personne
Elle n'a peur de personne
E dez que ela fecha os olhos
Sozinha em frente de Deus
A dizer que elas sao loucas
A dizer que elas sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Elle donne son chagrin
Son chagrin n'est plus le sien
C'est celui de Lisbonne
C'est celui de Lisbonne
Où des femmes portent le noir
Et dans les caisses des guitares
E a saudade qui résonne
E a saudade qui résonne
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
They are crazy
She cries for her sailor
Her sailor is not hers
She says the waves are crazy
She says the waves are crazy
When she sings fado
Her song is a bird
A bird that flies away
A bird that flies away
They are crazy, they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
The bird carries a prayer
To a message in a bottle
Her address is the open sea
Her address is the open sea
From the street of riguera
In the heart of Alfama
They say the old woman is crazy
They say the old woman is crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
But as soon as she puts on the shawl
Silence falls
We listen to her words
We listen to her words
She places on her back
The lines of her hands
That fill with alcohol
That fill with alcohol
They are crazy, they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
Then she closes her eyes
She is alone before God
She is not afraid of anyone
She is not afraid of anyone
And when she closes her eyes
Alone in front of God
Saying they are crazy
Saying they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
She gives her sorrow
Her sorrow is no longer hers
It belongs to Lisbon
It belongs to Lisbon
Where women wear black
And in the guitar cases
There is saudade that resonates
There is saudade that resonates
They are crazy, they are crazy
They are crazy, they are crazy
