Since I am posting very dramatic music videos, I offer this, by my favorite fadista, Mariza. I do not particularly like the orchestra version of the music, but observe her performance.
Here is an English rendering of the key lines: Oh my countrymen / Now I understand / That the sadness I carry / I received from you.
Axé.
I’ll have to get back to this. The song is beautiful. I know already it’s going to make me cry….Thanks for the comments on the meme…I appreciate your opinion very much. What I didn’t say is that most of my waking moments I feel ‘not smart’ (the way I think you must be smart. Only when I write does that feeling go away….I really don’t know the person that writes those things I put in print…Peculiar…Thanks again.
Beautiful voice, beautiful singer.
