The language is so expressive and Fado (Destiny, Fate) could only be expressed in Portuguese.

Rain (Chuva)

The ordinary things in life don´t make me homesick

Only the memories that hurt or make you smile.

There are people who stay in the history of history of people

And others who we do not even remember hearing the name

They are emotions that add life to the nostalgia that bring

Those ones that had you and I have lost

There are days that move the soul and life of the people

And one where you left me I can not forget

The rain soaked my cold and tired face

The streets that the city had, since I had traveled through

My lost child lament shouted to the city that

The fire of love died in the rain just a a moment ago

The rain heard and kept my secret to the city

And here it is…rain hittting the glass and bringing me nostalgia

The rain…

RAIN

The ordinary things in lifedon’t bring us nostalgia

Only the memories that hurt

Or make us smile do 

There are people that remain in our story

in the story of our lifeand others whose the name

we barely care to listen to again  

There are emotions that give lifeto the longing that I bring with me

Emotions that I had by your side

and I lost a little ago 

There are days that leave traces in our souls

and in our livesand the day you left me,

I can not forget 

The rain wet my

cold and tired face

And all the streets in that city,

I had already passed by Ah …

my crying of lost girl

shouted to the city that

the fire of love in the rainjust now died 

The rain listened to my secret

and shared it with the city

And now, rain taps on my windows

bringing the longing back
