I discovered Mariza and Fado, not long after losing my wife. We'd been together for 40 years and were married for 33. Met at 16 and 17 years old so grew up together. The loss was very sudden and the desolation and devastation that overtook me was at times overwhelming. This was nearly 4 years ago. I'm a massive music fan and listen to all genres, but nothing speaks to me in my grief like Fado and in particular Mariza's interpretation of it. I can't describe why it comforts me, but it does. Sadly I dont speak or understand 99% of Portuguese, but understanding that Fado is about love, loss and longing, and the emotion of her singing I can feel what the sings are about, if that doesn't sound too pretentious or fanciful. In my own country I've seen her in Cardiff, Wales, in my home town of London and am going to see her in Brighton too. I've also seen her in Bucharest as well. She's not only an outsrandung artist but individual too. I'm trying to learn Portuguese so that i can better undersrand the actual lyrics, wgich i do translate when I can, but at my age, thats not easy! 😂❤
As minhas condolências pela sua esposa. A sua mensagem foi extremamente comovente e belíssima. Escrevo em Português porque menciona que está a aprender a língua. Um grande abraço.
The lyrics have this meaning: This fado is mine and yours Destiny that ties us No matter how much it is denied To the strings of a guitar Whenever you hear a moan Of a guitar singing You are soon lost Feeling like crying O people of my land Now I realized This sadness I bring It was from you that I received it And it would seem tender If I let myself be rocked The bitterness was greater My singing is less sad O people of my land Now I realized This sadness I bring It was from you that I received it O people of my land Now I realized This sadness I bring This sadness I bring It was from you that I received...
Este fado não se explica pela tecnica vocal ou tecnica de guitarra, porque é uma conversa entre a guitarra e a canção e fala dessa dialectica que explica a gesta portuguesa, a alma e sentir do fado
@@filomenacarvalho1408 Pelo menos a Bethany percebe de técnica vocal e explica o que se passa, a nível vocal, nesta canção, ao contrário de outros. O RUclips está cheio de preguiçosos que acham que vão ficar ricos por filmar-se a ouvir um cantor a cantar e não acrescentam nada. Talvez acrescente aos fãs que querem dilatar o ego, a ouvir alguém dizer como o seu ídolo é bom!
@@vervideosgiros1156 ok, a atitude é o que importa no fado! Muitos fadistas são roucos, com vozes pequenas e até desafinados mas o fado é um sentimento, tal como disse Bob Dilan! Não é musica nem tecnica. Era o que eu queria transmitir . Desde que nasci que oiço fado em Lisboa, vem conhecer-nos! Vem a Lisboa, chora conosco! É uma forma de catarse o nosso fado não é uma canção é lamentação!
@@filomenacarvalho1408 Eu não disse que os cantores de fado tinham ou deveriam ter grandes vozes; o que eu disse é que ao menos a Bethany está a dar a opinião dela como profissional de canto: há muitos exibicionistas no RUclips que apenas ouvem as canções, dizem banalidades e não acrescentam nada! Para isso pode ouvir-se o vídeo original! Eu sou alfacinha de gema! Nunca disse que não era! Por acaso nem gosto especialmente de fado, mas gosto de alguns fados e este é um deles.
For those of you, foreigners (and mostly you, Voice Teacher), who have shown appreciation for this song, here's a translation of the lyrics which may help you get to the core of the Portuguese soul in it: It’s mine and yours, this fate (= fado) [This] Destiny that binds us Much as it may be denied In the strings of a guitar Whenever one hears a moaning From a guitar that sings One’s at a loss instantly Feeling like crying Oh, People of my Land Now I have understood This longing that I haul It’s from you that I received it And it would seem like tenderness If I let myself be cradled The greater the bitterness Less sad my singing Oh, People of my Land Now I have understood This longing that I haul It’s from you that I received it KIND PORTUGUESE REGARDS.

Grew up in Spain, love Fado and Portuguese people. They are naturally elegant, humble and polite and tend to melancholy. So much sophistication with natural elegance.
@@ruicosta1148 entendi isso mas é uma maneira de justificar a opinião. Porque para ser português temos de gostar da sua história,sentir orgulho dos seus antepassados,porque o fado representa uma cidade não um país
This is a song that will make any portuguese emigrant (and there are milions) cry. Oh gente da minha terra means people of my land. It's so deep ! And Mariza knows it and performed for all of us portuguese that are not in mother land. Thanks for your good comments
This song makes your soul tingle specially if you’re a Portuguese migrant. It will without a question make you cry! ❤ Meu Rico Portugal 🇵🇹 quantas saudades tenho de ti !
The first time i listen this song i was living in Germany for 4 months and i was already miss, saudades de, Portugal. When I heard Ó Gente da Minha terra, I cried too.😪
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
Can you sing a feeling? Can you recite a poem? Can you sing it? Not always. This is a sung poem that, without being recited, is more than anything else, it is the Portuguese soul full of poets waiting for a song that will make them shout with a thousand voices the feeling that unites us Portuguese! That's Marisa. The voice trapped in the throat in all the poems we never imagined singable. Kisses from Portugal!
My introduction to fado was an intimate Mariza performance in a studio with an audience of 75 people in 2017. I had little idea of what to expect but it changed the way I perceive music. I now adore fado and although I love Amalia Rodriguez, Carminho, and Ana Moura, Mariza is my favorite by far. I also had no idea at the time of the performance that I would be living permanently in Portugal 4 years later. Estranha forma de vida!

This is TRADITION! As a Portuguese, and proudly being Fado Singer´s Grandson (From Grandfather and Grandmother), It ALWAYS give´s me the chills when I listen to Mariza and this song. The intensity of the message, is so brilliantly transmitted not only from her, but aswell from the Portuguese Guitar Masters behind her, that it just makes any concert Magica (the Orchestra behind, just adds even more value and "flavor"). Thank you for sharing Bethany!! Keep up the amazing work.
This song touches every single one in a different way as no portuguese can keep indifferent to this song. It`s a very powerful message, it`s a tribute to the portuguese people, specially the ones who departed, either on the discoveries on the 15th century or by emigrating more recently. It is so powerful that even Mariza got emotional.
I was there in the public and it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Thousands had tears rolling down our face. It shook us to our core. Just amazing moment.
This song is from a live concert Mariza did in 2007 in Lisbon. To this day, I'm unable to listen to 'Gente da Minha Terra' (People of My Land) without shedding a tear, such is the emotional charge this song carries. Mariza herself was so overcome with emotion that had to be 'saved' by the Portuguese guitar player impromptu solo towards the end. Absolutely magnificent performance.
My favorite group from Portugal is Madredeus. Acoustic guitar,piano, violin, cello, and bandeneon with a soprano. The album O Spiritus de Paz deserves an afternoon with a good meal. I enjoy it as medicine for stress. Fado pulls at the heart. In time explore how fado and african rhythm became a similar sound but with a swing in Cape Verde music. Its all so wonderful
The only concert that i saw twice in two consecutive days was Espírito da Paz by Madredeus at Coliseu do Porto. It was the new album presentation. Until today it may be the best concert I ever watched - translucid, ethereal, portuguese and arabic fusion. A huge pleasure.
@@ruygranja wow, I'm very jealous 😄 them and Simentera from Cape Verde were two groups I wanted to see more than any others. It must have been a near religious experience
@@osovagabundo1 it was. You are absolutely right! The first concert on friday was so magical that i forced a cousin to get me another ticket. 😁 And on Saturday there I was alone watching them. The first and second songs of that album tell a lot about the live experience. Thank you for pointing Simentera. I need to check it! 😉
I don't speak portugese, but i love fado singers. You can also listen to cristina branco, misia, Ana Moura and Katia Guerriero. All bring different accents but they're great 'storytelling' singers. Just Fado voices.
It's Guerreiro. I know many english speakers tend to spanish-ficy portuguese words which must be because of how unfamiliar with it. As trivia, the word guerreiro in portuguese means warrior.
I love how every reaction I saw to this performance ends up in a few comments and an expression of awe from the person reacting, it’s truly a testament to how amazing this particular performance is. This is fado in its purest form, raw emotion channeled by the instruments and by the singer, you pick a good piece, good instrumentalists, and an amazing vocalist, and it doesn’t really matter if you understand the words, will feel the message. Thank you for reacting and commenting on this performance. Mariza is one of the best in this genre. Next, you need to check Dulce Pontes, if you want to keep diving into fado, she is different but also amazing.
This is just insane. Mariza is the best Portuguese singer alive. As a Portuguese , I can say that it is not possible to ear this without crying. Period. But if you liked her, Amalia Rodrigues will blow you away. She’s the Fado goddess.
We attended a Mariza concert many years ago. Hard to find the words to describe how beautiful and memorable this concert was. It was a small auditorium setting with Mariza accompanied by Portuguese guitar, classical guitar and acoustic bass. Incredible musicians. For an encore she sang a number of songs, all without the aid of a microphone, and seemed to fill the room effortlessly.
Fado singing it's not depicted by the guitar but rather the guitar follows the fado/ fadista artist. Every artist has their method of singing that song you listen to and it's the way that they feel the emotion of how they perceive the song to be. The guitar plays along with the artists to bring out the emotion he or she is trying to get across the message of what that song delivers. Queen of Fado Amalia sand that Fado comes from within. That's why most Fado artist at times will close their eyes to listen to the voice from the heart. Thank you for truly loving this piece I love many Fado singers. Fado is split into two types coimbra Fado and Lisbon Fado. Both beautiful but both unique. As portuguese Fado to us is as special as that of our anthem and our flag. It's a sense of pride and honor. There is no one way to sing Fado but you would only know that if you were a portuguese or be submerged in our culture. Fado is not taught it is felt and through feeling comes song.
What a great reaction. Mariza is a diva. Voice from the gods. And that "guitar" is a portuguese one. 12 strings... amazing sound but really hard to play. Another subscriber
I had the good fortune of seeing her perform in the open air at Óbidos Castle. This song was her finale and at one point she put down the microphone, got off the stage and sang it, projecting her voice into the amphitheatre. Just magical. ❤
Thank you for your love and support, I'm blown away by the love from you. Fans like you are the reason I keep moving, I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Saudade is the feeling of losing, of not having something we love anymore, of being away from our motherland and the ones we love the most, and also of the good times that went away and will never return to you.
As a Portuguese, the first time i saw Mariza sing this song live i couldn't manage not to cry. I don't know if for non portuguese speakers this song hits the same way but for us this has such a powerful message that just totally puts us in our knees.
I have been to see Mariza many times, in both London and Madrid. This from one of her early albums. Every time she sings, the audience almost stops breathing and you could hear a pin drop. Meu Fado Meu is also brilliant. During this song in [particular, both she and every member of the audience is in tears - her voice carries so much emotion. She can turn notes up down, back and forward, but always perfectly in tune. In the end we are breathing with her ! If you get the opportunity, you must see her. Carminho has a similar voice.
Beautiful reaction video. Mariza actually has a jazz singing background and in my humble opinion that makes all the difference and sets her apart from the rest of the fado singers. Thank you so much for your work.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
@@Monteiro75 Wonderful, you are a true fan of mine, I know you most be shocked to receive a message from me 🤠 anyway I really do appreciate all the love and support from fans like you and others due to the restrictions here on RUclips I'll love to honor you with my personal information via email address to know how you feel about my songs
Singer, lyrics, guitars and the audience, they are all interacting, talking to each other. The song is actually dedicated to the portuguese, so she dedicates the song to the audience, to the portuguese audience. "People of my homeland" sums it up. Fado means fate. The type of song and singing reveals the soul.
Dear Teacher, This is a wonderful way of singing, it's the language that allows it. To sing fado, you have to speak Portuguese with a Portuguese accent. The intention, the feeling, only our Portuguese can imprint the soul in each word, in each note of the song. Fado is unique, with unique emotion! The Portuguese have to suffer, men and women suffering, tired who live on the good or bad mood of the sea, which gives everything and takes everything away. The Technique for singing Fado is unique and perhaps one of the most difficult vocal techniques that exists.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
Ive never seen this video. I am Portuguese. That music sung by Mariza is soooo special for every single Portuguese. I can tell you that it’s impossible for me to listen that music without tears falling down my face. There’s a strong connection with that music. It’s incredible. I am happy that you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing with the world how beautiful our music is. I adore your lovely honest reaction. This song makes me emotional everytime and reminds me how powerful fado can be.
Glad you did this. Mariza is special, imo the best fado singer that's ever lived. This is my favorite of her songs but there are so many that I love. Her voice was just meant for fado.
Here is the translation... This fado is mine and yours Destiny that ties us No matter how much it is denied To the strings of a guitar Whenever you hear a moan Of a guitar singing You are soon lost Feeling like crying O people of my land Now I realized This sadness that I bring I received it from you And it would seem tender If I let myself be rocked The bitterness was greater My singing is less sad O people of my land Now I realized This sadness that I bring I received it from you O people of my land Now I realized This sadness that I bring This sadness that I bring It was from you that I received
i cry everytime I hear this song. its not just the lyrics, you have to understand the feelings, some words are untranslatable... you need to be portuguese to understand what they mean
So extremly wonderful, this incredible expression in her voice. Unbelievable beautiful!!! I adore Mariza. She is what she sing and she sing what she is! It's not at all artificial!
The thing she's doing with the 'root of her tongue' is a phonetic feature of Portuguese; the voiced retroflex approximant 'r'. It's a bit like the 'r' as pronounced in French.
Your reaction is beautiful as you, i love fado with all my heart, as a child my mother clean the house hearing it very loud, me and two brothers hated it, but as i grow older it grow on me hard. And i feel so proud 😅
Hi I am Portuguese, the lyrics are very meaningful in this particular song, which she has sang many times but in this particular instance, she got it in a much deeper understanding, which brought her to a very emotional state, it is the melancholy of the nation portrayed here, beautiful moment.
She is the culmination of the best... Amalia's legacy, the Carlos do Carmo perfect diction and metrics and the Teresa Salgueiro's angelic tone and technique... And lot more. I listen mostly to Rock, Metal, Jazz Pop Rock... But this is always there in the back of us Portuguese people' minds. Amazing live performance. Also Paulo de Carvalho's great musical Insight and Carlos Paredes and other giants of the guitar made this possible!
I saw her in Chicago many years ago. She does a thing where she sings to the house without mics... you could hear a pin drop other than her voice. It brought tears to my eyes and shivers through my body. One must see her if there's a chance

Thank you for the video! I am Brazilian and no matter what, every time I hear Fado, I must admit that I get very emotional. Tears comes out of my eyes and this song is specially touching. I love Fado and I love Mariza, have you heard Ana Moura or Dulce Pontes ? There are many ,contemporary like Deolinda , and the queen of all times Amalia Rodrigues . Lovely video!
I am going to say she's really good like her voice goes to my heart I'm not kidding but she has something that no one more has. She's beautiful excellent and I think everyone that hears this song they will say the same thing again over again because she has something like her voice everyone most be proud of her. I think that there's no people that don't like Mariza she's beautiful!!!!😍😍😀😃😄😍😍😘🙂😊
Thank you for your love and support, I'm blown away by the love from you. Fans like you are the reason I keep moving, I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
If you loved this one you should listen to Dulce Pontes - Canção do Mar (Live) and Dulce Pontes - Amor a Portugal . You will be completely blown away! ;)
Yes. Fado is great. It is reminiscent of the blues. The songs are often ballads, stories, they evoke a sadness, nostalgia, longing. At their best they say something like "life is tough, it's hard, but there were those beautiful moments, and we are all in it together, we share the sadness and the memory of those moments." Oh, and it's pronounced "fathu" [faðu].
I once met a Scot who was completely fanatical about fado, especially Alfredo Marceneiro. He loved fado more than many Portuguese people. This music touches from within and often mirrors the vicissitudes and misfortunes of life. Fado belongs to everyone and for everyone, from the moment it became a world heritage. Personally, I vibrate in the same way when I hear fado victory (Igreja de Santo Estevão - Carlos Peres) or a classic (Fur Elise - Ludwig Van Beethoven) or even a rock “Thunderstruck - AC/DC”. Thanks for the kind words, you've been touched and if, like my old Scottish friend, you start digging into the great fado singers and guitarists you'll be in for a surprise - fado singer and guitarist side by side.
I am Portuguese and living in the United States for the past 8 years… the amount of times that I’ve listened to this performance are countless by now. Fado is more than Fate, Fado is… our soul, our blood, it’s just who we are. I had never seen anyone even daring dissecting a Fado song, in matter fact, rule number one: “silence, Fado is going to be sung”. So when I clicked I thought I would be mad that someone would even dare to say something about Fado! And then… I looked at The Vocalyst. She is not Portuguese, she has no idea what is being said, but her body language, her facial expression… that’s Fado. It’s only deeper when you fully understand it, but that’s Fado! It barges in and takes over your whole body, you don’t even need to think, talk or anything else. It feels ever pore of your skin and cell of your soul. So yeah, very glad I clicked and understood how Mariza can carry us, a gente da terra dela, everywhere with her voice. Suggestion (not Fado, but a treasure to explore): Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
You were correct when you said the closed mouth/jaw tension is a necessary part of fado singing! So Fado is meant to be almost like a cry, another commenter has translated the lyrics so you can see she's singing about her country, her people, and this shared sadness we all feel (the feeling is saudade, more like a melancholic longing for something we can't attain), so her singing is like shes crying with a deep sadness in her heart, almost like it's hard to bring it out into words, hence the tension/closed mouth, the feeling is the most important part of Fado, hope this comment helped ❤ viva Portugal! Viva liberdade!
Can you imagine that this singer tried to launch her career in Portugal and they closed the doors to her? It was in Holland that it managed to launch herself and only later begun to be published in Portugal.
This song, about nostalgia, about belonging, about our land, about our people, about the emotional heritage we all carry, how we yearn, how we feel connected to the land itself... This is the essence of being Portuguese.
The best way I can describe the singing of fado as a portuguese person, is having all this sadness, this longing, this distress, that is not yours, it's a part of history and culture, it's a transgenarational melancholy that is bigger than anyone. And when you sing it, it's just like a lamment or a cry, you have all this play between tension and release where usually during the verses it's very closed of, very controlled in a "keeping all these emotions from spilling out" type of way, and in the chorus, and specially in the bridge and last chorus you let go of all of those feelings in this guttural way. this is a very confusing explanation, but its the best way I can put it.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
That is absolutely perfect, so beautifuly written. I'm not Portuguese, I'm Romanian, but I love fado, and all that you described can also be applied to our 'doina', which is also a melancholy, sad, almost spiritual, song of 'dor' or saudade, which definitely has deep ancestral roots, and is carried through generations.
Fado is a beautiful sadness. A communal resilience in shared experiences of love and loss. There's a sense of belonging - almost like you're listening to a secret language (tens que ser Português para perceber). Traditionally, Portuguese people are stern (not unemotional by any means), but Fado is where we can all feel deeply. You can hear the cheering when she sings the verse "Oh gente da minha terra" - it's her singing, of course, but also community and belonging. We're her people. We're one.
@@Guusmeeuwisofficial. Conta aberta há 1 mês, com esse handle e com falhas de Português 😂 Podia ao menos *tentar* ser credivel. Que amadorismo! #fakeaccount
My first introduction to Fado outside scholastic and musical recordings (I went to music school) was when I went back to the land of my ancestors and went into a little Fado house with my wife. We were in tears most of the performance. After wards we walked the city streets going back to our hotel and I knew something special happened that night. I want to move back to Portugal someday.
9:58 yes, she was using the root of the tongue to make that sound, in Portuguese, that sound appears when you have two "r"s in succession. In this particular case, the word was "terra", that in the expression that she used, "minha terra", stands for "land"
You did a great job. It's always hard to convey or translate feelings that are so attached to the culture. In Fado, usually, the Music, although important, is the vehicule(?) for the lyrics. But you can believe, most Portuguese living abroad, will cry when hearing this song. Thank you for sharing your view. Take care.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
This was a very emocional concert. Her technique is flawless, in my humble opinion. She can do almost everything with her voice, and transmit lots of emotion. You should listen to the original ... she sang this song hundreds of times ... this time, was something like a "celebration", so you are listening a bit of an "improvisation" of the moment. A very special one for all the portuguese people - a gente da sua terra. Maybe the best live "5 minutes" moment in the last years of portuguese music. Amazing!
I'm Portuguese, living in Porto. I'm been earing this for years, and I discover each time I ear it, the strenghthning of this song and Mariza transcendent voice.
Letra em português: (lyrics) É meu e vosso este fado Destino que nos amarra Por mais que seja negado Às cordas de uma guitarra Sempre que se ouve um gemido De uma guitarra a cantar Fica-se logo perdido Com vontade de chorar Ó gente da minha terra Agora é que eu percebi Esta tristeza que trago Foi de vós que recebi E pareceria ternura Se me deixasse embalar Era maior a amargura Menos triste o meu cantar Ó gente da minha terra Agora é que eu percebi Esta tristeza que trago Foi de vós que a recebi Ó gente da minha terra Agora é que eu percebi Esta tristeza que trago Esta tristeza que trago Foi de vós que a recebi
Você tem um impacto tão profundo em minha carreira que até mesmo o maior texto de agradecimento cairia para expressar minha gratidão. Obrigado por seu apoio
I heard this was a very important concert for her. As a native Moçambigue girl, it was hard to introduce into the Fado hierarchy of the motherland Portugal itself. Still the musical elite preferred native born fadistas like Amalia Rodriguez, though they were no more. Mariza sings about the people of her country, and so she claims to be counted among the Portuguese. And she succeeds.
@@TheMateriaalkunde , yes a made-up story... 200% sure... she's a goddess since... EVER...! And she was born on Mozambique, her father is Portuguese and her mother Mozambican but they came to Portugal when she was only 3 years old (after the independence of Mozambique from Portugal). But yes, you are partially right: she cried because she felt that ar that moment, she was a milestone in the portuguese society, She had achieved their biggest goals... despite the facto that, yes, She (and specially, her mother) suffered racism when she was younger...
FADO came from Portugal, but belongs to the World! MARIZA is a god performer a great one. You need to listen the same Fado - Gente da Minha Terra performed by Amália Rodrigues. That poem was writen by Amália Rodrigues.
É meu e vosso este fado This fado is for you and for me Destino que nos amarra it is a destiny that binds us Por mais que seja negado no matter how much you may want to deny it Às cordas de uma guitarra (we are bound) by the strings of the guitarra Sempre que se ouve o gemido every time you hear the groaning De uma guitarra a cantar of the guitarra singing Fica-se logo perdido you find yourself lost Com vontade de chorar with a desire to cry Ó gente da minha terra Oh, people of my land Agora é que eu percebi now I have come to understand Esta tristeza que trago that this sadness that I carry with me Foi de vós que recebi I get it from all of you E pareceria ternura and perhaps it might be a tenderness Se eu me deixasse embalar if I were left to bottle up Era maior a amargura most of this bitterness Menos triste o meu cantar it might make my singing less sad Ó gente da minha terra Oh, people of my land Ó gente da minha terra Oh, people of my land Agora é que eu percebi now I have come to understand Esta tristeza que trago that this sadness that I carry with me Esta tristeza que trago that this sadness that I carry with me Foi de vós que recebi I get it from all of you
Obrigado por seu amor e apoio, estou impressionado com o amor de você. Fãs como você são a razão de eu continuar me movendo, espero que você tenha se divertido bem ao longo dos anos?
i saw Mariza live and she is so amazing... and especially when she put the microphone down and just belts out her amazing voice... ufff... and for an emmigrant, it gets so emotional...
I discovered Mariza and Fado, not long after losing my wife. We'd been together for 40 years and were married for 33. Met at 16 and 17 years old so grew up together. The loss was very sudden and the desolation and devastation that overtook me was at times overwhelming. This was nearly 4 years ago. I'm a massive music fan and listen to all genres, but nothing speaks to me in my grief like Fado and in particular Mariza's interpretation of it. I can't describe why it comforts me, but it does. Sadly I dont speak or understand 99% of Portuguese, but understanding that Fado is about love, loss and longing, and the emotion of her singing I can feel what the sings are about, if that doesn't sound too pretentious or fanciful. In my own country I've seen her in Cardiff, Wales, in my home town of London and am going to see her in Brighton too. I've also seen her in Bucharest as well. She's not only an outsrandung artist but individual too. I'm trying to learn Portuguese so that i can better undersrand the actual lyrics, wgich i do translate when I can, but at my age, thats not easy! 😂❤
As minhas condolências pela sua esposa. A sua mensagem foi extremamente comovente e belíssima. Escrevo em Português porque menciona que está a aprender a língua. Um grande abraço.
The lyrics have this meaning: This fado is mine and yours
Destiny that ties us
No matter how much it is denied
To the strings of a guitar
Whenever you hear a moan
Of a guitar singing
You are soon lost
Feeling like crying
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness I bring
It was from you that I received it
And it would seem tender
If I let myself be rocked
The bitterness was greater
My singing is less sad
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness I bring
It was from you that I received it
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness I bring
This sadness I bring
It was from you that I received...
I'm an old-school metalhead and have listened to Mariza since Fado em Mim. I don't even know Portuguese but her voice speaks to me.
You don't need to understand the language to feel the sentiment behind the songs, this one's about longing, like most fado.
when you have songs talking to the soul
Have you heard e.g. Antonio Zambujo or Deolinda? 😉
She's soooou amazing ❤
❤❤❤❤😮
É bom ver a cultura portuguesa a ser espalhada pelo mundo.
It's good to see portuguese culture being spread around the world.
Este fado não se explica pela tecnica vocal ou tecnica de guitarra, porque é uma conversa entre a guitarra e a canção e fala dessa dialectica que explica a gesta portuguesa, a alma e sentir do fado
@@filomenacarvalho1408 mt, dá pena que só os tugas o vão entender verdadeiramente, e nem todos
@@filomenacarvalho1408 Pelo menos a Bethany percebe de técnica vocal e explica o que se passa, a nível vocal, nesta canção, ao contrário de outros. O RUclips está cheio de preguiçosos que acham que vão ficar ricos por filmar-se a ouvir um cantor a cantar e não acrescentam nada. Talvez acrescente aos fãs que querem dilatar o ego, a ouvir alguém dizer como o seu ídolo é bom!
@@vervideosgiros1156 ok, a atitude é o que importa no fado! Muitos fadistas são roucos, com vozes pequenas e até desafinados mas o fado é um sentimento, tal como disse Bob Dilan! Não é musica nem tecnica. Era o que eu queria transmitir . Desde que nasci que oiço fado em Lisboa, vem conhecer-nos! Vem a Lisboa, chora conosco! É uma forma de catarse o nosso fado não é uma canção é lamentação!
@@filomenacarvalho1408 Eu não disse que os cantores de fado tinham ou deveriam ter grandes vozes; o que eu disse é que ao menos a Bethany está a dar a opinião dela como profissional de canto: há muitos exibicionistas no RUclips que apenas ouvem as canções, dizem banalidades e não acrescentam nada! Para isso pode ouvir-se o vídeo original! Eu sou alfacinha de gema! Nunca disse que não era! Por acaso nem gosto especialmente de fado, mas gosto de alguns fados e este é um deles.
For those of you, foreigners (and mostly you, Voice Teacher), who have shown appreciation for this song, here's a translation of the lyrics which may help you get to the core of the Portuguese soul in it:
It’s mine and yours, this fate (= fado)
[This] Destiny that binds us
Much as it may be denied
In the strings of a guitar
Whenever one hears a moaning
From a guitar that sings
One’s at a loss instantly
Feeling like crying
Oh, People of my Land
Now I have understood
This longing that I haul
It’s from you that I received it
And it would seem like tenderness
If I let myself be cradled
The greater the bitterness
Less sad my singing
Oh, People of my Land
Now I have understood
This longing that I haul
It’s from you that I received it
KIND PORTUGUESE REGARDS.

This is a song that will make any portuguese emigrant (and there are milions) cry. Oh gente da minha terra means people of my land. It's so deep ! And Mariza knows it and performed for all of us portuguese that are not in mother land. Thanks for your good comments
Já chorei algumas vezes com esta canção!
It will make you cry even if you are not an emigrant.
true
so true.... you cant help shed a tear when hearing this song if you are abroad... grande abraço-
It makes this grandson of Portuguese immigrants cry
This song makes your soul tingle specially if you’re a Portuguese migrant. It will without a question make you cry! ❤ Meu Rico Portugal 🇵🇹 quantas saudades tenho de ti !
I’m Portuguese and besides the number of times I listen to this magnificent piece of art tears always come to my eyes. 😢
The first time i listen this song i was living in Germany for 4 months and i was already miss, saudades de, Portugal. When I heard Ó Gente da Minha terra, I cried too.😪

Girl same!
Can you sing a feeling? Can you recite a poem? Can you sing it? Not always. This is a sung poem that, without being recited, is more than anything else, it is the Portuguese soul full of poets waiting for a song that will make them shout with a thousand voices the feeling that unites us Portuguese! That's Marisa. The voice trapped in the throat in all the poems we never imagined singable. Kisses from Portugal!
I cry every time I listen to Mariza. It is a song that portrays the pain and sorrow inside people very well. Thanks Bethany.
Choro particularmente com esta música, pois tem um significado gigante para a alma lusitana!
so do I as a spanish, I love Mariza
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support
My introduction to fado was an intimate Mariza performance in a studio with an audience of 75 people in 2017. I had little idea of what to expect but it changed the way I perceive music. I now adore fado and although I love Amalia Rodriguez, Carminho, and Ana Moura, Mariza is my favorite by far. I also had no idea at the time of the performance that I would be living permanently in Portugal 4 years later. Estranha forma de vida!
It was your fado to come to the "quiet harbor of shelter"

My cousin introduced me to Mariza and Fado music last year. I’ve been hooked on both since then!
This is TRADITION! As a Portuguese, and proudly being Fado Singer´s Grandson (From Grandfather and Grandmother), It ALWAYS give´s me the chills when I listen to Mariza and this song. The intensity of the message, is so brilliantly transmitted not only from her, but aswell from the Portuguese Guitar Masters behind her, that it just makes any concert Magica (the Orchestra behind, just adds even more value and "flavor"). Thank you for sharing Bethany!! Keep up the amazing work.
This song touches every single one in a different way as no portuguese can keep indifferent to this song. It`s a very powerful message, it`s a tribute to the portuguese people, specially the ones who departed, either on the discoveries on the 15th century or by emigrating more recently. It is so powerful that even Mariza got emotional.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
I was there in the public and it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Thousands had tears rolling down our face. It shook us to our core. Just amazing moment.
I have read your touching comments and I genuinely appreciate you being a fan of mine, I hope you enjoy listening to my songs?
This song is from a live concert Mariza did in 2007 in Lisbon. To this day, I'm unable to listen to 'Gente da Minha Terra' (People of My Land) without shedding a tear, such is the emotional charge this song carries. Mariza herself was so overcome with emotion that had to be 'saved' by the Portuguese guitar player impromptu solo towards the end. Absolutely magnificent performance.
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support
My favorite group from Portugal is Madredeus. Acoustic guitar,piano, violin, cello, and bandeneon with a soprano. The album O Spiritus de Paz deserves an afternoon with a good meal. I enjoy it as medicine for stress. Fado pulls at the heart. In time explore how fado and african rhythm became a similar sound but with a swing in Cape Verde music. Its all so wonderful
Very good....the genius of Rodrigo Leao!! Even alone his work is unique.
The only concert that i saw twice in two consecutive days was Espírito da Paz by Madredeus at Coliseu do Porto. It was the new album presentation. Until today it may be the best concert I ever watched - translucid, ethereal, portuguese and arabic fusion. A huge pleasure.
@@ruygranja wow, I'm very jealous 😄 them and Simentera from Cape Verde were two groups I wanted to see more than any others. It must have been a near religious experience
@@osovagabundo1 it was. You are absolutely right! The first concert on friday was so magical that i forced a cousin to get me another ticket. 😁 And on Saturday there I was alone watching them. The first and second songs of that album tell a lot about the live experience. Thank you for pointing Simentera. I need to check it! 😉
Hey Oso!!!
Thank you man!!!!

I don't speak portugese, but i love fado singers. You can also listen to cristina branco, misia, Ana Moura and Katia Guerriero. All bring different accents but they're great 'storytelling' singers. Just Fado voices.
and let's not forget Carminho :)
@@TugaPowah Importante não esquecer voz dela embala a alma!
Gisela João is also very good.
Dirk van der Laarse , the best of the best , the greatest of them all AMÁLIA RODRIGUES !!!!❤🇵🇹
It's Guerreiro. I know many english speakers tend to spanish-ficy portuguese words which must be because of how unfamiliar with it. As trivia, the word guerreiro in portuguese means warrior.
Mariza is awesome and Luis Guerreiro makes that Portuguese guitar weep .
I love how every reaction I saw to this performance ends up in a few comments and an expression of awe from the person reacting, it’s truly a testament to how amazing this particular performance is.
This is fado in its purest form, raw emotion channeled by the instruments and by the singer, you pick a good piece, good instrumentalists, and an amazing vocalist, and it doesn’t really matter if you understand the words, will feel the message.
Thank you for reacting and commenting on this performance. Mariza is one of the best in this genre.
Next, you need to check Dulce Pontes, if you want to keep diving into fado, she is different but also amazing.
This is just insane. Mariza is the best Portuguese singer alive. As a Portuguese , I can say that it is not possible to ear this without crying. Period. But if you liked her, Amalia Rodrigues will blow you away. She’s the Fado goddess.
We attended a Mariza concert many years ago. Hard to find the words to describe how beautiful and memorable this concert was. It was a small auditorium setting with Mariza accompanied by Portuguese guitar, classical guitar and acoustic bass. Incredible musicians. For an encore she sang a number of songs, all without the aid of a microphone, and seemed to fill the room effortlessly.
Yes I’ve also seen her live in a smaller auditorium. She sang at the side of me and that experience will never leave me.
I was fortunate enough to see and hear Mariza live. She is stunning!

Fado singing it's not depicted by the guitar but rather the guitar follows the fado/ fadista artist. Every artist has their method of singing that song you listen to and it's the way that they feel the emotion of how they perceive the song to be. The guitar plays along with the artists to bring out the emotion he or she is trying to get across the message of what that song delivers. Queen of Fado Amalia sand that Fado comes from within. That's why most Fado artist at times will close their eyes to listen to the voice from the heart. Thank you for truly loving this piece I love many Fado singers. Fado is split into two types coimbra Fado and Lisbon Fado. Both beautiful but both unique. As portuguese Fado to us is as special as that of our anthem and our flag. It's a sense of pride and honor. There is no one way to sing Fado but you would only know that if you were a portuguese or be submerged in our culture. Fado is not taught it is felt and through feeling comes song.
Mi padre es portugués y de todos los fados que escuché para mi este es uno de los más conmovedores, hace años que lo oigo, SAUDADE
❤🇵🇹
Beautiful reaction. Yes, this singer is such a gift. Each member of that audience must have a wonderful memory for life.

Saudade is the feeling of losing, of not having something we love anymore, of being away from our motherland and the ones we love the most, and also of the good times that went away and will never return to you.
As a Portuguese, the first time i saw Mariza sing this song live i couldn't manage not to cry. I don't know if for non portuguese speakers this song hits the same way but for us this has such a powerful message that just totally puts us in our knees.

I have been to see Mariza many times, in both London and Madrid. This from one of her early albums. Every time she sings, the audience almost stops breathing and you could hear a pin drop. Meu Fado Meu is also brilliant. During this song in [particular, both she and every member of the audience is in tears - her voice carries so much emotion. She can turn notes up down, back and forward, but always perfectly in tune. In the end we are breathing with her ! If you get the opportunity, you must see her. Carminho has a similar voice.
each time I hear her singing this song, it goes right deep down into my heart ... I love Fado so much
Beautiful reaction video. Mariza actually has a jazz singing background and in my humble opinion that makes all the difference and sets her apart from the rest of the fado singers. Thank you so much for your work.

FADO is a way of life. You have to live it to understand it. Thank you for getting this portuguese genre known in your channel ❤️
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support
Singer, lyrics, guitars and the audience, they are all interacting, talking to each other. The song is actually dedicated to the portuguese, so she dedicates the song to the audience, to the portuguese audience. "People of my homeland" sums it up.
Fado means fate. The type of song and singing reveals the soul.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Yes she sings good butt song is from amalia and amalia is about 1000000000000x better
Dear Teacher,
This is a wonderful way of singing, it's the language that allows it. To sing fado, you have to speak Portuguese with a Portuguese accent. The intention, the feeling, only our Portuguese can imprint the soul in each word, in each note of the song. Fado is unique, with unique emotion! The Portuguese have to suffer, men and women suffering, tired who live on the good or bad mood of the sea, which gives everything and takes everything away.
The Technique for singing Fado is unique and perhaps one of the most difficult vocal techniques that exists.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
Ive never seen this video. I am Portuguese. That music sung by Mariza is soooo special for every single Portuguese. I can tell you that it’s impossible for me to listen that music without tears falling down my face. There’s a strong connection with that music. It’s incredible. I am happy that you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing with the world how beautiful our music is. I adore your lovely honest reaction.
This song makes me emotional everytime and reminds me how powerful fado can be.
Glad you did this. Mariza is special, imo the best fado singer that's ever lived. This is my favorite of her songs but there are so many that I love. Her voice was just meant for fado.
Here is the translation...
This fado is mine and yours
Destiny that ties us
No matter how much it is denied
To the strings of a guitar
Whenever you hear a moan
Of a guitar singing
You are soon lost
Feeling like crying
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness that I bring
I received it from you
And it would seem tender
If I let myself be rocked
The bitterness was greater
My singing is less sad
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness that I bring
I received it from you
O people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness that I bring
This sadness that I bring
It was from you that I received
Portugal is a paradise where nightingales live, singing to the bottomless infinity of the ocean.
i cry everytime I hear this song. its not just the lyrics, you have to understand the feelings, some words are untranslatable... you need to be portuguese to understand what they mean
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
So extremly wonderful, this incredible expression in her voice. Unbelievable beautiful!!! I adore Mariza. She is what she sing and she sing what she is! It's not at all artificial!
Watching and hearing this woman sing is an absolute privilege. She is extraordinary.
Alot of meaning and feeling in that music for us Portuguese.
The thing she's doing with the 'root of her tongue' is a phonetic feature of Portuguese; the voiced retroflex approximant 'r'. It's a bit like the 'r' as pronounced in French.
This is Fado! No one can explain it, we only need to feel it!
I loved seeing you frozen in heaven.
This is a version in which the singer improvises and is also urging the audience to sing with her.
I'm from Brasil, but like "Portugal Music".
Listen to Amália Rodrigues or "Madredeus". NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your reaction is beautiful as you, i love fado with all my heart, as a child my mother clean the house hearing it very loud, me and two brothers hated it, but as i grow older it grow on me hard. And i feel so proud 😅
Hi I am Portuguese, the lyrics are very meaningful in this particular song, which she has sang many times but in this particular instance, she got it in a much deeper understanding, which brought her to a very emotional state, it is the melancholy of the nation portrayed here, beautiful moment.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Ela canta com a alma, a melhor forma de cantar. Definir as sensações que causa a voz, o som, a melodia e a letra é como definir o amor. Só sentindo.
She is the culmination of the best... Amalia's legacy, the Carlos do Carmo perfect diction and metrics and the Teresa Salgueiro's angelic tone and technique... And lot more. I listen mostly to Rock, Metal, Jazz Pop Rock... But this is always there in the back of us Portuguese people' minds. Amazing live performance. Also Paulo de Carvalho's great musical Insight and Carlos Paredes and other giants of the guitar made this possible!
I saw her in Chicago many years ago. She does a thing where she sings to the house without mics... you could hear a pin drop other than her voice. It brought tears to my eyes and shivers through my body. One must see her if there's a chance
🙏 proud to be portuguese 🇵🇹

Yes. Fado is great. It is reminiscent of the blues. The songs are often ballads, stories, they evoke a sadness, nostalgia, longing. At their best they say something like "life is tough, it's hard, but there were those beautiful moments, and we are all in it together, we share the sadness and the memory of those moments."
Oh, and it's pronounced "fathu" [faðu].
Mariza could sing the phonebook and break my heart, such a beautiful voice
I once met a Scot who was completely fanatical about fado, especially Alfredo Marceneiro. He loved fado more than many Portuguese people.
This music touches from within and often mirrors the vicissitudes and misfortunes of life.
Fado belongs to everyone and for everyone, from the moment it became a world heritage.
Personally, I vibrate in the same way when I hear fado victory (Igreja de Santo Estevão - Carlos Peres) or a classic (Fur Elise - Ludwig Van Beethoven) or even a rock “Thunderstruck - AC/DC”.
Thanks for the kind words, you've been touched and if, like my old Scottish friend, you start digging into the great fado singers and guitarists you'll be in for a surprise - fado singer and guitarist side by side.
Exactly.
It doesn't matter the genre, if it delivers raw emotion and I feel it deep in my bones, I'm there.
I am Portuguese and living in the United States for the past 8 years… the amount of times that I’ve listened to this performance are countless by now. Fado is more than Fate, Fado is… our soul, our blood, it’s just who we are.
I had never seen anyone even daring dissecting a Fado song, in matter fact, rule number one: “silence, Fado is going to be sung”. So when I clicked I thought I would be mad that someone would even dare to say something about Fado! And then… I looked at The Vocalyst. She is not Portuguese, she has no idea what is being said, but her body language, her facial expression… that’s Fado. It’s only deeper when you fully understand it, but that’s Fado! It barges in and takes over your whole body, you don’t even need to think, talk or anything else. It feels ever pore of your skin and cell of your soul.
So yeah, very glad I clicked and understood how Mariza can carry us, a gente da terra dela, everywhere with her voice.
Suggestion (not Fado, but a treasure to explore):
Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
You were correct when you said the closed mouth/jaw tension is a necessary part of fado singing! So Fado is meant to be almost like a cry, another commenter has translated the lyrics so you can see she's singing about her country, her people, and this shared sadness we all feel (the feeling is saudade, more like a melancholic longing for something we can't attain), so her singing is like shes crying with a deep sadness in her heart, almost like it's hard to bring it out into words, hence the tension/closed mouth, the feeling is the most important part of Fado, hope this comment helped ❤ viva Portugal! Viva liberdade!
Can you imagine that this singer tried to launch her career in Portugal and they closed the doors to her? It was in Holland that it managed to launch herself and only later begun to be published in Portugal.
Deep. It's from the depths...
Only tears do it justice.
Never fails to move me. The most perfectly sung lyrics. I always break when she cries
This song, about nostalgia, about belonging, about our land, about our people, about the emotional heritage we all carry, how we yearn, how we feel connected to the land itself...
This is the essence of being Portuguese.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
You can also learn portuguese 😊🥰 É uma língua lindissima. This song is our (Portuguese) soul and emotions.
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support
The best way I can describe the singing of fado as a portuguese person, is having all this sadness, this longing, this distress, that is not yours, it's a part of history and culture, it's a transgenarational melancholy that is bigger than anyone.
And when you sing it, it's just like a lamment or a cry, you have all this play between tension and release where usually during the verses it's very closed of, very controlled in a "keeping all these emotions from spilling out" type of way, and in the chorus, and specially in the bridge and last chorus you let go of all of those feelings in this guttural way.
this is a very confusing explanation, but its the best way I can put it.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
That is absolutely perfect, so beautifuly written. I'm not Portuguese, I'm Romanian, but I love fado, and all that you described can also be applied to our 'doina', which is also a melancholy, sad, almost spiritual, song of 'dor' or saudade, which definitely has deep ancestral roots, and is carried through generations.
Fado is a beautiful sadness. A communal resilience in shared experiences of love and loss. There's a sense of belonging - almost like you're listening to a secret language (tens que ser Português para perceber). Traditionally, Portuguese people are stern (not unemotional by any means), but Fado is where we can all feel deeply. You can hear the cheering when she sings the verse "Oh gente da minha terra" - it's her singing, of course, but also community and belonging. We're her people. We're one.

My first introduction to Fado outside scholastic and musical recordings (I went to music school) was when I went back to the land of my ancestors and went into a little Fado house with my wife. We were in tears most of the performance. After wards we walked the city streets going back to our hotel and I knew something special happened that night. I want to move back to Portugal someday.
9:58 yes, she was using the root of the tongue to make that sound, in Portuguese, that sound appears when you have two "r"s in succession. In this particular case, the word was "terra", that in the expression that she used, "minha terra", stands for "land"
You did a great job. It's always hard to convey or translate feelings that are so attached to the culture. In Fado, usually, the Music, although important, is the vehicule(?) for the lyrics. But you can believe, most Portuguese living abroad, will cry when hearing this song. Thank you for sharing your view. Take care.
Thanks for the support. It's my outmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs I will have to call you My Super Fan.
This was a very emocional concert. Her technique is flawless, in my humble opinion. She can do almost everything with her voice, and transmit lots of emotion. You should listen to the original ... she sang this song hundreds of times ... this time, was something like a "celebration", so you are listening a bit of an "improvisation" of the moment. A very special one for all the portuguese people - a gente da sua terra. Maybe the best live "5 minutes" moment in the last years of portuguese music. Amazing!
I'm Portuguese, living in Porto. I'm been earing this for years, and I discover each time I ear it, the strenghthning of this song and Mariza transcendent voice.
Maravilhosa voz, poema e a interpretação. Adoro.
Letra em português: (lyrics)
É meu e vosso este fado
Destino que nos amarra
Por mais que seja negado
Às cordas de uma guitarra
Sempre que se ouve um gemido
De uma guitarra a cantar
Fica-se logo perdido
Com vontade de chorar
Ó gente da minha terra
Agora é que eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Foi de vós que recebi
E pareceria ternura
Se me deixasse embalar
Era maior a amargura
Menos triste o meu cantar
Ó gente da minha terra
Agora é que eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Foi de vós que a recebi
Ó gente da minha terra
Agora é que eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Esta tristeza que trago
Foi de vós que a recebi
Você tem um impacto tão profundo em minha carreira que até mesmo o maior texto de agradecimento cairia para expressar minha gratidão. Obrigado por seu apoio
I was in the audience this day. Such a privilege and very emotional concert ❤️
The song is beautiful and the emotion in her performance is a wonder. Bravo
The song is about the people of her home, that´s why she got emotional, because she´s singing at her home town.
I heard this was a very important concert for her. As a native Moçambigue girl, it was hard to introduce into the Fado hierarchy of the motherland Portugal itself. Still the musical elite preferred native born fadistas like Amalia Rodriguez, though they were no more. Mariza sings about the people of her country, and so she claims to be counted among the Portuguese. And she succeeds.
birn levensregt - Is that so? I am portuguese and that theory it's a first to me....
@@helenagracio7556 Oh, I read that somewhere as an explanantion why she cried during singing Gents de minha terre in Lisbon. But it might be set up...
@@TheMateriaalkunde , yes a made-up story... 200% sure... she's a goddess since... EVER...!
And she was born on Mozambique, her father is Portuguese and her mother Mozambican but they came to Portugal when she was only 3 years old (after the independence of Mozambique from Portugal).
But yes, you are partially right: she cried because she felt that ar that moment, she was a milestone in the portuguese society, She had achieved their biggest goals... despite the facto that, yes, She (and specially, her mother) suffered racism when she was younger...
It's just absolute perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh the meaning of this song really touches our heart as a people
As a portuguese, I love seeing reactions to this song, but I get goose bumps every freaking time!
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support
FADO came from Portugal, but belongs to the World! MARIZA is a god performer a great one. You need to listen the same Fado - Gente da Minha Terra performed by Amália Rodrigues. That poem was writen by Amália Rodrigues.
É meu e vosso este fado
This fado is for you and for me
Destino que nos amarra
it is a destiny that binds us
Por mais que seja negado
no matter how much you may want to deny it
Às cordas de uma guitarra
(we are bound) by the strings of the guitarra
Sempre que se ouve o gemido
every time you hear the groaning
De uma guitarra a cantar
of the guitarra singing
Fica-se logo perdido
you find yourself lost
Com vontade de chorar
with a desire to cry
Ó gente da minha terra
Oh, people of my land
Agora é que eu percebi
now I have come to understand
Esta tristeza que trago
that this sadness that I carry with me
Foi de vós que recebi
I get it from all of you
E pareceria ternura
and perhaps it might be a tenderness
Se eu me deixasse embalar
if I were left to bottle up
Era maior a amargura
most of this bitterness
Menos triste o meu cantar
it might make my singing less sad
Ó gente da minha terra
Oh, people of my land
Ó gente da minha terra
Oh, people of my land
Agora é que eu percebi
now I have come to understand
Esta tristeza que trago
that this sadness that I carry with me
Esta tristeza que trago
that this sadness that I carry with me
Foi de vós que recebi
I get it from all of you
Obrigado por seu amor e apoio, estou impressionado com o amor de você. Fãs como você são a razão de eu continuar me movendo, espero que você tenha se divertido bem ao longo dos anos?
i saw Mariza live and she is so amazing... and especially when she put the microphone down and just belts out her amazing voice... ufff... and for an emmigrant, it gets so emotional...
I am Portuguese and each time Mariza start I have goose bumps
You have to hear Amália Rodrigues, the Queen of Fado! The most amazing and beautiful voice ever!
