On the train home to Amsterdam. Staring out the window; the Dutch landscape rushing past. Can't controle the tears running down my cheeks. This song gets to me every single time. Compose yourself, Sasha!
Lisbon is the most beautiful city in the world, and Portugal is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. ❤️ The city of Porto is very old and romantic city. The Portuguese should be proud of the beauty of their country. They have a beautiful nature, climate, architecture, cuisine, music (fado) ... Only people without souls don't like fado. Lisbon has a soul, and its name is ‘fado’. Fado was recognised by UNESCO in 2011 as an ‘intangible cultural heritage’. Lisbon, Portugal’s capital city, is the heartbeat of the country. It’s also one of the oldest cities in the world, predating even Rome. Lisbon is a city of old souls who value tradition, art, and creativity and are putting those facets of life to use in modern ways. The Portuguese people are some of the kindest I’ve come across in my travels. They are one of the best nations in the world, they are very polite and friendly open to foreigners. People with the beautiful hearts and souls. For me, the Portuguese language is the most beautiful language. I speak several languages including Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, German, and Croatian, my native language. Languages are my passion. European Portuguese and Slavic languages have the same phonetics. In Portugal, Russian speaking people learn the language quite easily. English speaking people don't use many of the sounds used in Portuguese, so they have a bit more difficulty. European Portuguese is sexy as fuck, it's a perversion for my ears. 😊 Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes once called Portuguese "the sweet and gracious language" and Spanish playwright Lope de Vega referred to it as "sweet", while the Brazilian writer Olavo Bilac poetically described it as "a última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela" (the last flower of Latium, rustic and beautiful). Portuguese is also termed "the language of Camões", after one of the greatest literary figures in the Portuguese language, Luís Vaz de Camões. Olavo Bilac once said "a Pátria não é a raça, o meio, o conjunto dos aparelhos económicos e políticos, é o idioma herdado ou criado por um povo". Fernando Pessoa wrote in Lisbon "a minha Pátria é a Língua Portuguesa". Fado (meaning "destiny, fate") is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. The music is usually linked to the Portuguese word "saudade" which symbolizes the feeling of loss, longing (a permanent, irreparable loss and its consequent lifelong damage). Fado performers in the middle of the 19th century were mainly from urban working class and sailors, who not only sang, but also danced and beat the fado. Famous singers of fado include Amália Rodrigues, Dulce Pontes, Alfredo Marceneiro, Fernando Farinha, Carlos do Carmo, José Afonso, Camané, Mariza, Mafalda Arnauth, António Zambujo, Ricardo Ribeiro, Ana Moura Carminho and Cristina Branco. Fado is such s high level art form, and no other language, I repeat, no other language could ever work for fado, not even remotely. This form of artistic musical expression only works with Portuguese. This language evokes all of the necessary soulful spiritual nuances, emotions, feelings. Only the Portuguese could turn the concept of FATE into the highly developed musical art form that it is. The beautiful, sonorous, smooth Portuguese language allowed for that to happen. European Portuguese is equally perfect for poetry and literature. As beautiful as French, Italian, Spanish are, neither of these languages would sound right for fado. And Brazilian Portuguese has the same musical relationship with samba, Bossa nova. No other language would work for these 2 musical styles. I can't imagine samba, Bossa nova sung in any other language than Portuguese, of the Brazilian variety. It's perfect for that because its intonation is so expressive, and Brazilians have such a playful relationship with the Portuguese language. Precisely why it works for their own musical styles. Saudações da Croácia. 😘
É estranho,mas sentia o mesmo.Quando ouvi O Pastor de Madredeus também. Tem outra de uma cantora de algum país do continente africano chamada Cesária Évora Sodade trás o mesmo sentimento pra mim,tem um feat dela com um cantor chamado Bonga com mesma música que é lindo.
Years ago, maybe it was 2010, I was watching TV and listened to this incredible voice on WMHT, her name was Mariza. Turns out a station in the Albany, NY area was featuring her then mentioned how she was playing at Proctors Theater a few weeks later. Literally bought tickets two minutes later and watched her perform in Schenectady, New York and she was incredible!
Erase una voz como los ángeles... me encanta Mariza, adoro Portugal y gracias Mariza por traerme Portugal en cada momento que oigo esa voz tan impresionante. Obrigado!!!
I discover Mariza at the last Djavan's live concert in Lisbon in 2019, where I came directly from Sicily... She made a little duet with the great brasilian artist. That day I discover an other great artist...😊
Sinto q minha alma é portuguesa pelo amor q grita no meu coração e lágrimas caem ao ouvir um fado. Essa voz de Mariza alegra minha vida. Deus abençoe esses cantores fadistas. Eu os amo!
Letra Trago um Fado no meu canto, Canto a noite até ser dia Do meu povo trago o pranto No meu canto a Mouraria Tenho saudades de mim Do meu amor mais amado Eu canto um país sem fim O mar, a terra, o meu Fado Meu Fado Meu De mim só me falto eu Senhora da minha vida Do sonho, digo que é meu E dou por mim já nascida Trago um Fado no meu canto Na minh'alma bem guardado Vem por dentro do meu canto Á procura do meu Fado Meu Fado Meu
Çok uzaklardan geldim. Bir iskemle bulup, oturdum. Beynimdeki dalgalarda batmamaya çalışan bir gemi, Ve o geminin içinde sevdiklerim. Can çekiştikleri yüzlerinden belli, Acı aktı her birinin gözlerinden. Vicdanımın ağırlığı, iskemlenin ayağını kırdı. Gemi battı. Ben zamanın içinde yok oldum..
