Fado Menor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Os meus olhos são dois círios
dando luz triste ao meu rosto
marcado pelos martírios
da saudade e do desgosto
Quando oiço bater trindades
e a tarde já vai no fim
eu peços às tuas saudades
um padre nosso por mim
Mas não sabes fazer preces
não tens saudade nem pranto
por que é que tu me aborreces
por que é que eu te quero tanto
És para meu desespero
como as nuvens que andam altas
todos os dias te espero
todos os dias me faltas
