Promessas ao Vento

From the album Vozes de Dentro – seven songs of traditional Fado born in July 2024 and completed September 2025. Smoky female vocals with Portuguese guitarra and viola carry confessions of love, silence and resilience.

🍂 Sweet promises blown away like leaves on the wind — illusions fading into silence.
Portuguese & English:
Disseste que era pra sempre
You said it was forever

que o amor não ia passar
that the love would not fade

Mas o tempo levou tuas juras
but time carried your vows

como folhas no ar
like leaves in the air

Eu acreditei no que dizias
I believed what you said

com a alma aberta, sem razão
with my soul open, without reason

Mas promessas ditas ao vento
but promises spoken to the wind

não conhecem coração
know no heart

Foste brisa que tocou
You were a breeze that touched

e depois se desfez
and then dissolved

Levaste contigo o que sou
You took with you what I am

e não voltaste mais vez
and never came back again

Foram promessas ao vento,
They were promises to the wind

sem raiz, sem direção
without root, without direction

Palavras doces
Sweet words

com gosto de ilusão
with the taste of illusion

O que era eterno
What was eternal

voou sem ficar
flew away without staying

Promessas vazias
Empty promises

que o vento foi levar
that the wind carried away

Hoje ando sem pressa,
Today I walk without hurry

mas carrego o teu adeus
but I carry your goodbye

Não há nada mais frio
There is nothing colder

que o calor que não foi meu
than the warmth that was not mine

Se jurar é tão fácil
If swearing is so easy

como esquecer depois,
as forgetting afterwards

prefiro o silêncio
I prefer silence

a mil promessas sem voz
to a thousand promises without voice

Foram promessas ao vento,
They were promises to the wind

mentiras com cor
lies with colour

Que pintaram meu céu
that painted my sky

e apagaram o amor
and erased the love

Já não espero
I no longer wait

nem quero voltar
nor want to return

Só deixo o vento
I only let the wind

o que não soube ficar
take what did not know how to stay

Que leve o vento
Let the wind carry

tudo que não quis ficar
everything that did not want to stay

These are voices gathered from the world around me — whispers of lives, glances of strangers, stories told over wine and wind. Only “Sangue em Silêncio” rises from my own heart; the rest are echoes I have listened to and turned into song.
