Ana Moura 'Desfado'

This song is the theme song of a Telenova called 'Quer o Destino'
You can watch Desfado here


Quer o destino que eu não creia no destino
E o meu fado é nem ter fado nenhum
Cantá-lo bem sem sequer o ter sentido
Senti-lo como ninguém, 
mas não ter sentido algum

Fate wants me not to have believe in fate.
And my fado doesn't have any fado
Sing it well even if it doesn't make sense.
I felt it like no one,
but it doesn't make any sense.

Ai que tristeza, esta minha alegria 
Ai que alegria, esta tão grande tristeza
Esperar que um dia 
Eu não espere mais um dia
Por aquele que nunca vem 
E que aqui esteve presente

Oh what a sorrow, this joy of mine
Oh what a joy, this very great sorrow
Hoping that one day
I don't have to wait another day
For the one who never comes
And who has been present here

Ai que saudade
Que eu tenho de ter saudade
Saudades de ter alguém
Que aqui está e não existe

How I long
that I have to have longings
Longings to have someone
That is here and does not exist

Sentir-me triste
Só por me sentir tão bem
E alegre sentir-me bem
Só por eu andar tão triste
Ai se eu pudesse não cantar
'ai se eu pudesse'
E lamentasse não ter mais nenhum lamento
Talvez ouvisse no silêncio que fizesse
Uma voz que fosse minha cantar alguém cá dentro

Feeling me sad
Just for feeling so good
And happy to feel good
Just for having been so sad
Oh if I could not sing
'Oh if I could'
And I could regret not having any more regrets
Maybe I could hear in the silence that I made
A voice that was mine
Singing someone inside

Ai que desgraça, esta sorte que me assiste
Ai mas que sorte eu viver tão desgraçada
Na incerteza que nada mais certo existe
Além da grande incerteza de não estar certa de nada

Oh what a disgrace, this luck that watches me
Oh but how lucky I am to live so miserable
In the uncertainty that nothing more certain exists
Besides the great uncertainty of not being sure of anything

Ai que saudade
Que eu tenho de ter saudade
Saudades de ter alguém
Que aqui está e não existe
Sentir-me triste

Só por me sentir tão bem
E alegre sentir-me bem
Só por eu andar tão triste
Ai que saudade
Que eu tenho de ter saudade
Saudades de ter alguém
Que aqui está e não existe
Sentir-me triste
Só por me sentir tão bem
E alegre sentir-me bem
Só por eu andar tão triste

Tram 28 vs Tram 12

이미지
Traveling here in Lisbon, everybody seems to take Tram 28. Starting point of  Tram 28  is always crowded and a long line is expected. Well, in my case, I prefer Tram 12. Starting point of Tram 12  is not that crowded. It covers only 4 kilometers but goes to all the major places. Let's compare their routes. Tram 28 Tram 12  As you can see from both pictures, Tram 12 covers Praça da Figueira, Martim Moniz, the Miradouro das Portas do Sol, the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, cathedrals and more. Besides it only takes 20 minutes to go through all the stops. I linked info on Tram 28 and Tram 12 so you can decide whatever you like. I usually remind my guests staying at the airbnb to take Tram 12 to wrap up their visits at the end of their journey. After staying in Lisbon for days, it's a good way to refresh all the fun memories you have shared with your friends and family. Only 20-minute-ride but it can leave imprints on you...

Must-sees on Tram 12 route

Taking Tram 12 from the starting poin t to the last stop only takes 20 minutes. It starts from Figueira Square, which has a statue of John I who fathered the navigator Henry. You can check out all the stops and what to see. (1) Martim Moniz  The first stop. You can see people lining up to take Tram 28. Martim Moniz Square is known to be very multi-cultural, especially at night. (2) Socorro (3) Largo Terreirnho => Just nothing that special happen. (4) Rua Lagares If you are into Alfama, the tram now passes through it. (5) São Tomé Love Fado? Then you know the legendary Queen of Fado Amalia Rodirigues . This stop has her portrait  by Vhills . It's a must-see. (6) Largo Portas Sol So famous that I am sure you know what to do here. Get off the tram to see the best viewpoint in Lisbon. You can access  ​São Jorge Castle (the castle of St. George) here but it's quite an uphill walk. (7)  Miradouro Santa Luzia   The view is much bet...

It is a part of Mercado da Ribeira, one of the best markets in Lisbon. Ribeira market has a long history starting around 1100. At that time, the location was the-now-city hall square near comercio square. In the 1600s, it became widely known all over Europe and its location was in front of Casa dos Bicos .
