Welcome to My Fado Club (Live at the Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon, Portugal, 1/12-23/2020) Lyrics

[Verse]
Welcome to my Fado club
Sit down at the bar
Have an Amarguinha
You won't go far
One, two, cha-cha-cha
One, two, cha-cha-cha
Can you do that?
One, two, cha-cha-cha
Let me hear you say
(One, two, cha-cha-cha)
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the Samba played
The Sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Portuguese lullaby
One, two, cha-cha-cha
Let me hear you say
(One, two, cha-cha-cha)
Pretty good
One, two, cha-cha-cha
(One, two, cha-cha-cha)
Now you know, Madame X
She doesn't like to stay at one place for too long
I think I'd like to go somewhere South
Somewhere hot
And sunny
Somewhere like Medellín
(One, two, cha-cha-cha)

[Spoken]
Very good
You know what they say, right?
You can't hit a moving target

About

Despite its title, this song is actually a farewell to the Portuguese-influenced section of the concert. “Welcome to My Fado Club” works as a transition from Portugal to Colombia, hinting “Medellín” and moving ahead with Madame X’s journey.

In an easygoing, short performance, Madonna sings while seated on the piano, with the dancers performing around the stage. She addresses known themes for the Lisbon audience and sings a snippet from her hit “La Isla Bonita”.
