Translation:

Good evening to you all, ladies and gentlemen.
In my homeland, there are many good singers.
Many good male and female singers
There, married women cry, single women sing.
Single women sing love songs,
Good evening to you all, ladies and gentlemen.

Serrano’s fado, you meet my taste so beautifully
You - charming and always well disposed
Always well disposed, be it in late hours or not.
Your secret is to find many good friends
Your secret is to smile at the misfortune
Serrano’s fado- always well disposed

To trust in women is the same as to trust in the devil.
Women are all the same, after all, in the very end,
After all, in the very end, a girl who falls in love
Loses herself in love melodies - the ones that will make her cry
and here I end my song by saying this:
To trust in men is the same as to trust in the devil
To trust in men is our fate
