Fado Peniche
Abandonment
Lyrics: David Mourão Ferreira
Music: Alain Oulman
For your free thinking
They took you far away to lock you up
For your free thinking
They took you far away to lock you up
So far away that my lament
Cannot reach you
And you only hear the wind
And you only hear the sea
They took you in the middle of the night
Darkness covered everything
They took you in the middle of the night
Darkness covered everything
It was at night, on a night
The darkest of all
It was at night, it was at night
And day never came again
Oh, the poison of that night
Persists in poisoning me
Oh, the poison of that night
Persists in poisoning me
I hear only the silence
That remained in your place
At least you hear the wind
At least you hear the sea
At least you hear the wind
At least you hear the sea
