by others sung

On some fine strings of steel

the fingers of a working hand rest

his skill and talent the wood transforms

into dreams turned into reality.

On some fine strings of steel

the fingers of a working hand rest

on accords of fine profile,

on fados, by others sung.

On some fine strings of steel

notes transformed into friendly gestures

of someone who is the example

of the arte of knowing how to love.

I f a guitar is played with fingers

the sounds that come out of it are,

without doubt, played by the soul

of who comforts it.

Thanks for letting me like you

Carlos Fontes.
