Enquanto houver Portugueses [Portuguese tradwave]
Music (video): Mataram a Mouraria

This one is a Portuguese fado. The fado is a traditional genre that developed in the 19th century, but that essentially expresses the spirit of hundreds of years of Portuguese history and culture. It does so by exploring such concepts as that of "saudade", a specific kind of longing that evokes a sad feeling of nostalgia and an acceptance of an inevitable fate ("fado", in fact, means "fate"). This one in particular, sung by Dona Maria Teresa de Noronha (1918 - 1993), does this by portraying some concepts in a personified manner: Fado complains to Tradition about the killing of Mouraria. Mouraria is an old neighborhood in Lisbon, one of the birthplaces of fado.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I must also make some notes on the translation of the song.
The Portuguese language has some quite lyrical and poetic constructions that are pretty hard to perfectly translate into English, so much of the original sense and connotation gets lost. Particularly in 1:26, the Portuguese text "vem o futuro a nascer / e vai morrendo o passado" has a very strong connotation of time and space. A literal translation of such a construction would be "future comes being born / and past goes away dying"; that is, it implies an idea of future as something that's coming closer as it is being born, and past as something that's distancing itself as it dies, in a sense that combines progression and constancy, as if it's something that's always going on and will never change. A necessary law, that is. That conveys pretty well the ideas of "saudade" and fate mentioned above, and the whole spirit of fado.
Also, in 1:49, there is a play with the verb "ouvir", which can mean both "hear" and "listen to [music]". The text can thus be translated either to "Fado was then hardly heard", in the sense of a person who's dying and can barely speak, or to "Fado was then hardly listened to", in the sense that people didn't listen to fado (the musical genre) anymore.
