Fado Doido
Oswaldo Montenegro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era loucura
Como é louco tudo o que eu fiz
Agora, seu eu sou feliz
Ai! Agora quem me diz?
Era loucura
E agora quem me diz
Se um dia eu vou
Se agora um dia eu fui feliz
Ai! E agora quem me diz
Oh! Linda passará na madrugada
É como se eu não percebesse nada
Liga não, é coisa de cantor
É como a chuva doida na floresta
É como a festa vir depois da festa




É como o gozo vir depois do amor
Ai! E agora quem me diz?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fado Doido by Oswaldo Montenegro describe the wild and reckless things the singer did in the past, which were considered madness. However, despite the doubts and criticisms from others, the singer is now happy. He reflects on the fleeting nature of happiness and wonders if he will still be happy in the future. The reference to a beautiful woman passing by at dawn is used as a metaphor for the unpredictable and transient nature of life. The singer acknowledges that he may not understand everything that is happening around him but dismisses it as something that comes with being an artist. He compares the unpredictability of life to a chaotic rainstorm in a forest, a celebration that follows another celebration and the ecstasy that comes after love-making.


The song's lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and introspection, making the listener reflect on their own choices and experiences. The chorus "Era loucura, agora quem me diz" (It was madness, now who can tell me) highlights the uncertainty and often ambiguous nature of life. The lyrics are beautifully poetic and resonate with the audience's emotions.

Era loucura
I was crazy


Como é louco tudo o que eu fiz
Everything I did was crazy


Agora, se eu sou feliz
Now, if I am happy


Ai! Agora quem me diz?
Oh! Now who can tell me?


Era loucura
I was crazy


E agora quem me diz
And now who can tell me

If one day I will go


Se agora um dia eu fui feliz
If I was happy one day


Ai! E agora quem me diz
Oh! And now who can tell me


Oh! Linda passará na madrugada
Oh! Beautiful will pass by at dawn


É como se eu não percebesse nada
It's like I don't notice anything


Liga não, é coisa de cantor
Don't worry, it's a singer thing


É como a chuva doida na floresta
It's like the crazy rain in the forest


É como a festa vir depois da festa
It's like the party coming after the party


É como o gozo vir depois do amor
It's like the pleasure coming after the love


Ai! E agora quem me diz?
Oh! And now who can tell me?
