He grew up listening to the traditional male chant called ‘Cante Alentejano’ that became one of his strongest influences. Around the age of 8, Zambujo started studying clarinet but soon he fell in love with Fado when listening to Amália Rodrigues, Alfredo Marceneiro, Maria Teresa de Noronha and João Ferreira Rosa. And it was singing, when he was 16 years old, that he won a regional Fado contest. His professional carreer started when Mário Pacheco, the renowned Portuguese guitarist and composer, invited him to sing in his Clube de Fado, in Lisbon. Not for a long time though… After an audition, António was chosen to take the role of Francisco da Cruz, Amalia’s first husband, in the blockbuster Musical ‘Amália’. He performed continuously during 4 years in Lisbon and after that he toured all around Portugal achieving enormous success. ‘It was a unique experience that taught me the stage «feeling» plus the strict working discipline of a theatre company’. In 2002 his first record ‘O mesmo Fado’ was released. Though you can find in it, as in all Zambujo’s records, some influences of ..Cante Alentejano’, the record achieved great recognition in the “Fado world’. Several songs were chosen to be part of major Fado anthologies and António Zambujo won the prestigious ‘Radio Nova FM’ prize for the ‘Best new Fado voice’ that was previously addressed to Mariza, Camané and Mafalda Arnauth. The 2004’s ‘Por meu cante’ gave us some clues about Zambujo’s future artistic path. His homeland influences were clearer, the merge between ‘Cante Alentejano’ and Fado was always present and, though it happened to be somehow controversial, no impeachment was called. António Zambujo won the Amália Rodrigues Foundation’s prize for the Best Fado Male Singer. 2007 is a significant year in Zambujo’s career. His third record ‘Outro sentido’ is a statement from a mature artist that has found his own particular way. Also the remarkable Lisbon’s festival closing concert and the duet with Luís Represas, a top pop singer, have shown that Zambujo and his music are really difficult to label.

Rua Dos Meus Ciúmes
António Zambujo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na rua dos meus ciúmes
Onde eu morei e tu moras
Vi-te passar fora de horas
Com a tua nova paixão

De mim não te ganhas queixumes
Quer seja desta ou daquela
Pois sinto só pena dela

E até lhe dou meu perdão
Na rua dos meus ciúmes
Deixei o meu coração

Ainda que me custe a vida
Pensarei com ar sereno
Naquele seu ombro moreno
Beijos de amor vão queimar

Saudades, são fé perdida
São folhas mortas ao vento
Que eu piso sem um lamento
Na tua rua ao passar
Ainda que me custe a vida
Não hás de ver-me chorar

Saudades, são fé perdida
São folhas mortas ao vento
Que eu piso sem um lamento
Na tua rua ao passar

Ainda que me custe a vida
Não hás de ver-me chorar

However, they still feel a deep sense of longing and reminiscence as they recall their past love.

It reflects the internal conflict and turmoil that can be caused by a lingering love, and the pain and bittersweet emotions that come with it. The lyrics are also tied to the sense of place, as the singer's emotional state is intrinsically linked to the street they are on.

Por acaso conheci essa beleza de voz, essa sensibilidade e essas interpretações fantásticas. Obrigada, Antonio Zambujo.

O Fado, com a voz de António Zambujo Quinto, tornou-se um clássico erudito, com requinte da mais pura cultura luso- portuguesa, com seu português de Portugal 🇵🇹, corretíssimo, conservando um saudosismo característico, do Fado, só que com uma alegria de cultura europeia modernista, sem perder a essência do Fado.
