Just a quick hello!

Studies....Very much appreciated, Patrícia, your quick visit. All the best with your exams....

This is a particularly funny video: with lyrics in Portuguese and English!

Thanks Amaryn for keeping this alive... and Deolinda is a fantastic group, really original.

I just watched this project on tv, Mar e Fados. This song is about Coimbra, curiously. Called "I saw Mondego pray" (Mondego is the river that crosses Coimbra.)

Another Fado singer who is wellknown in Holland (apart from Mariza and Christina Branco, who even sings in Dutch: she lives in Holland) is
Joanna Amendoeira:

sung with great passion, lovely performance: Katia Guerreiro

What a great fault! One of my favorite songs ever. It is from 2002 and this group, Pólo Norte, no longer exists but the singer continued a solo career, Miguel Gameiro.

Pure innocence

life is so different
of what we dream
maybe our bad is to wake up

I threw my future
beyond the firmament
and now I can not reach it

I am feeling
my voice lost in the desert
but I am who says

that life always leaves the door open
so I can enter there
and maybe return
to the purest innocence

life is so different
the dreams we remember
I know that our bad is to remember

I lost your future
beyond our time
and now I can not go back there

I am feeling
my voice lost in the desert
but who says I am

that life always leaves the door open
so I can enter there
and maybe find you
in the purest innocence

And because our music is more than fado... Here's a 90's hit from the group Além Mar.

Let me look

Nights without you
Where I lose myself
Looking for me
In the passion of uncertain

And knowing that you love me but even so
It is enough for you to say yes
Even when I go
You like me
For what I am

Let me look
Let me ask
If you like me in the nights
I spend without you

Whenever I see you I lose myself in the evening light
And whenever I kiss you I'm not afraid of the sound
Nights without you where I lose myself
Looking for me on the passion of uncertain

And knowing that you love me but even so
It is enough for you to say yes
Even when I go
You like me
For what I am

Let me look
Let me ask
If like me in the evenings
I spend without you

Quite a productive night han?

That's one of these songs that everybody knows, liking or not. From 1996, Quinta do Bill, a very good pop-rock, folk rock band.

If I love you

Nothing in heaven and earth, can teach us
What goes into the soul of someone who refuses
Lying on the floor
I do not

Oh, if I love you
If I do not have
Oh, the shame
To say it

And never this* chance or law, I understood
The man who stirs in vain
So close to the world, so far from God
I do not

Oh, if I love
If I do not have
Oh, the shame
To write it

Oh, my childhood...

Fly

I am unloved, but I dream to love
What you have to give me
I carry in the mouth, the heart
Stuck in the verses, of this song

I feel so light, I can not believe
Fly, fly fly
I feel so light, I can not believe
Fly, fly fly

I just got here
And a thousand women I've already loved
But fate is not staying
And I leave in search for another place

I feel so light, I can not believe
Fly, fly fly
I feel so light, I can not believe
Fly, fly fly

Last for tonight, the hoarse voice from Olavo Bilac, Santos e Pecadores.

Tell me about love

I ended up having
A crush on you
That went how it came
And I did not realize

I wonder how it is
The old certainty
Did you know
What went wrong

Today I would know how to say

Love me, take me, beyond my horizon
Speaking of love
Tell me about love

Follow me, hold me, beyond my horizon
Speaking of love
Tell me about love

I want to tell you
I am still here
The whole time waiting
for you

I want to reach you
And I'm asking
To be as it was
When I met you

Love me, take me, beyond my horizon
Speaking of love
Tell me about love

Follow me, hold me, beyond my horizon
Speaking of love
Tell me about love

Pay attention to this name: Tiago Bettencourt. One of the best composers of the last years. This "Carta", was a hit of his project Toranja.

Carta (Letter)

Zé Manuel (Ex-Fingertips), his latest project Darko with the special participation of the actress Sandra Celas. This guy is also an awesome composer and lyricist.
