QUEEN OF FADO
至今, 一位被稱為 "Rainha do Fado" (Queen of Fado), 自四十年代至離世的一生, 她是葡萄牙國家的世界文化代表。當知悉她去世的消息之後, 葡萄牙總理呼籲全國作三天的哀悼, 以示對她的尊崇。
Amália da Piedade Rodrigues (1920 -1999)
筆者主觀的認為, "Fado" 對葡萄牙人的音樂文化與普及, 近乎美國的 "Blues 藍調怨曲" 與及粵港澳的 "地水南音"; 同樣是唱出民間大眾或歌者的心聲, 又是一些可即興演譯的歌曲。而出自 Lisbon 里斯本的 "Fado", 歌者在演譯時的身體語言與表情, 與阿根廷的 "Tango" 和西班牙的 "Flamenco" 有相似之感。
2011年, 聯合國教科文組織 UNESCO 確認 "Fado" 音樂, 為世界文化遺產, 亦是葡萄牙 Portugal 國家與及里斯本 Lisbon 城市的象徵標誌。
Amália Rodrigues - Fado Português
O Fado nasceu um dia,
quando o vento mal bulia
e o céu o mar prolongava,
na amurada dum veleiro,
no peito dum marinheiro
que, estando triste, cantava,
que, estando triste, cantava.
Ai, que lindeza tamanha,
meu chão , meu monte, meu vale,
de folhas, flores, frutas de oiro,
vê se vês terras de Espanha,
areias de Portugal,
olhar ceguinho de choro.
Na boca dum marinheiro
do frágil barco veleiro,
morrendo a canção magoada,
diz o pungir dos desejos
do lábio a queimar de beijos
que beija o ar, e mais nada,
que beija o ar, e mais nada.
Mãe, adeus. Adeus, Maria.
Guarda bem no teu sentido
que aqui te faço uma jura:
que ou te levo à sacristia,
ou foi Deus que foi servido
dar-me no mar sepultura.
Ora eis que embora outro dia,
quando o vento nem bulia
e o céu o mar prolongava,
à proa de outro veleiro
velava outro marinheiro
Portuguese Fado - English
Fado was born on a day,
When the wind barely stirred,
And the seas elongated the skies.
On the main rail of a sailing ship,
In the chest of a seaman
While sorrowful he sang.
While sorrowful he sang.
Oh, what immense beauty,
My land, my hill, my valley
Of golden leaves, flowers and fruits
Do you see lands of Spain,
Sands of Portugal,
Vision blinded by tears.
In the mouth of a seaman
In the fragile sailing ship
The hurtful song fading
With the piercing of desires
From the lips burning with kisses
That kiss the air and nothing more,
That kiss the air and nothing more.
Farewell mother, farewell Maria,
Keep this well in mind,
That I make this vow:
Either I will take you to the altar,
Or it was God who was served instead
Give me my rest at sea
Now, on another given day
When the wind barely stirred
And the seas elongated the skies
At the bow of another sailing ship
Another seaman sailed
While sorrowful he sang
While sorrowful he sang

Mariza - O Gente Da Minha Terra
E meu e vosso este fado,
Destino que nos amarra ,
Por mais que seja negado,
As cordas de uma guitarra.
Sempre que se ouve o gemido ,
Deuma guitarra a cantar ,
Fica-se logo perdido ,
Com vontade de chorar .
O gente da minha terra ,
Agora e que eu percebi ,
Esta tristeza que trago,
Foi de vos que recebi .
E pareceria ternura,
Se eu me deixasse embalar ,
Era maior a amargura ,
Menos triste o meu cantar.
Ó gente da minha terra
Oh People from My Land - English Translate
This fade is mine and yours
A destiny that binds us
However it might be denied
To the strings of a guitar
Every time one hears the cries
Of a singing guitar
One becomes immediately lost
With a desire to cry
Oh people from my land
It is now that I understand
This sorrow I carry
I received it from you
And it would seem like fondness
If I allowed myself to be lulled
The bitterness would be greater
My singing would be less sad
Oh people from my land
