Lyric

The wind is whispering down an empty street

Longing dances to a cold, forgotten beat

I lost my heart one silent night

No warning came, no final fight

It slipped away and left me bare

Just pain remains for me to wear

I lost my heart to fado's cry

Each note a tear I can't deny

String by string, my soul came apart

And now I'm left with a quiet heart

The stars still watch, but never speak

The moon hides low, ashamed and weak

The alleys know the tears I've bled

But fado stole the love I never had

Ah

If I could just rewind

Ah

But there’s no path to find

I lost my heart to fado's cry

Each note a tear I can't deny

String by string, my soul came apart

And now I'm left with a quiet heart

Fado, you cruel and tender thief

You gave me song, but stole belief

Will you return what once was mine—

The heart you swore would never decline?
