💌“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.📖


Rather than getting lost in conjectures while trying to explain the deep meaning of this enigmatic sentence, straight from the dreamy and poetic mind of its author, I invite you to watch this short video whose content will surely lead you to mature philosophical reflections...



And now, aware of the importance of to your ❤️‍🔥 listening, and if it, having been ablaze with happiness, careless whispers to you that Valentine's Day it is from morning to evening in the company of your darling, who truly deserves the most lovely gift, offer her a little pretty thing, a ring found in a store called Bababobo, while in Alfama you were strolling, hearing the first sung words of a fado, that seemed to be intended for you, thinking of your sweetheart's beloved face smiling, when without saying a word she hears "Baby, I love youuuu"... 🥰



📻🎚️Mega Hits - Confessions com Agir | Meu Fado, Meu🎶

I bring a fado in my singing

Trago um fado no meu canto

I sing the night until it's day

Canto a noite até ser dia

From my people I bring tears

Do meu povo trago pranto

In my singing, the Mouraria

No meu canto a Mouraria

I miss myself

Tenho saudades de mim

My most beloved love

Do meu amor, mais amado

I sing an endless country

Eu canto um país sem fim

The sea, the land, my fate

O mar, a terra, o meu fado

My fate, my fate, my fate, my fate

Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado

I only miss mysel

fDe mim só me falto eu

Lady of my life

Senhora da minha vida

Of the dream, I say it's mine

Do sonho, digo que é meu

And I find myself already born

E dou por mim já nascida

I bring a fado in my singing

Trago um fado no meu canto

In my soul it's kept

Na minh'alma vem guardado

It comes from inside my wonder

Vem por dentro do meu espanto

In search of my fate

A procura do meu fado

My fate, my fate, my fate, my fate

Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado


Composition: Paulo Carvalho✒️


​Our Store

It is in the unmissable Alfama, whose colorful houses and winding cobbled streets that remind its Moorish origins give it its picturesque charm, that we set up our store in 2013.

 

This neighborhood which has remained authentic, nestled in the very heart of Lisbon, lives at nightfall to the rhythm of fado, a song full of emotion recounting love, life, nostalgia for the past, listened to in establishments dedicated to this art and tradition, is also a reflection of the soul of its city.

In our premises you will find local crafts, portuguese tiles, sardines, swallows, cork and ceramic...  

In addition to essential souvenirs our own creations ranging from photography to jewelry complete our eclectic choice, some pieces of which are offered for sale on the Etsy platform.​

A visit is necessary then, our store is located a stone's throw from the Fado museum, so we look forward to welcoming you!
