I am very glad that J Cole introduced Sara's work to this new generation of non-Portuguese speakers who were unaware of her brilliance. If only English native speakers had taken the time to explore the beautifully multicultural pop work of Canadian experimental artist Nelly Furtado, they would've been introduced to Sara's work more than a decade ago. Nevertheless, better late than never... ;) Força, Sara!
És e sempre serás a diva,tu sempre viveste em mim... grande perda,digo e repiso o mundo és uma das melhores vozes que já ouvi na minha vida, última vez que ouvi a tua voz foi no festival azgo(Moçambique) Sara,paz sua alma.🎤🎸♥️😭🇵🇹🇨🇻🇲🇿
LOVE LOVE LOVE the way J. Cole sampled this song in his song "Losing My Balance"... the fact that he chose this even further proves his genius as a musician and his appreciation for good music. I am glad that I keep learning about great artists through their work with others that I have great respect for. I was introduced to J. Cole through mny favorite artist of all time, Jay-Z... and now I have been introduce to Sara Tavares through J. Cole. Awesome!!!!
To the guy with the Russian Last name you obviously have no musical inclination to be make any comments. Putin doesn't let you guys listen to real music lmao
This is why sampling music from artist isn't stealing, it's taking art and expanding it to reach different cultures. I would gavr never found this beautiful song if it wasn't for J Cole
For a whole week, I had no idea what she was saying and, as an American, I still loved every minute of it. You can always feel the spirit behind a person’s words, no matter the language. Let me be the first to say, hers is beautiful.
She's beyond this world!! To bring people from different back grounds/cultures together!! Sista!! I Respect your contribution to this world!! Thank you for inspiring!!!! Give Thanks!!!
Sara Tavares deserves all these 1,088,900 views and even for more :)! I didn't know this song was this popular - pretty well from an Indie act! Got her albums Xinti and Mi Ma Bo and am planning to buy Balancé as well. I'm glad that "Eu Sei" and "Ponto de Luz" are doing pretty well on UA-cam as well with a little over 1 million views but yeah... She deserves better! This may be too far-fetched but I wish she would be one day Grammy nominated and a Grammy winner! Yeah, I think she's THAT good :)
thank God for NatGeo Music channel... I get to discover all the greatest in world music... Sara Tavares is a gem- just saw some live clips of her and she really is something else...
Been years since I’ve heard this awesome song! I would hum it but never quite remember the name. So glad I ran across it again. Like saying hello again to a missed friend.
What a nice video. Real human beeings, dancing so sweet, showing their love 2 the music. So refreshing after all these many synthetic-silicone-people we are used 2 see in TV. Thanks!
Cole is J. Cole. he sampled this beat to his song called Losing My Balance. and his version of this song is a powerful one. He talks about the struggles of females and how they hide thier true self to make another man happy and the man after that etc... he basically saying be your self and dont lose your balance. the whole song is amazing if you get a chance to hear it you should check it out its very inspirational for everybody men and women
Não me canso de ouvir as suas belas melodias que acalentam o inverno de Manchester... ohhhh que linda voz, ohhhh que linda melodia!!!! 2019, por cá ainda.... 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nossa! Amei, amei...Viva a música bem feita, simples como o coração que a compõe e a canta!...È assim, sem grandes complicações, é ouvir, dançar, curtir, sorrir, ficar bem!!! Parabéns! Sara Tavares!
😢😢😢eu amo te Sara Tavares Será sempre lembrado... E sempre nas nossas memórias... love you my favoritos... Em breve sim.... Sara Tavares sua alma descanse em paz...One love!!!

I LOVEEEEEE THIS SONG!!!!! I had my friend translate for me cuz I just HAD to know the words to this beautiful song!!! That's the beauty of music, you don't need to understand it to feel it!!! Love her!!!
The text is so simple, yet touching. Below are the translated lyrics, which are repeated throughout the song: Balance: black n white, north n south, tears n joy, melody n rhythm; lets celebrate love n freedom! Step into the dance!
...sarah tavares and her music is something surprising special: incredibly charismatic, positive, simple and subtile at the same time... the album Xinti... a masterpiece....

Balance, gosto muito! Muitas recordações Minha liberdade Balance, Balance, tira stress Adoro quando me deixas Levar assim Grande viagem cósmica Dá-me equilíbrio emocional. Sinto-me forte espiritualmente. Mistura de semba
I saw a comment but shes singing about dancing freely with children and being hapy and enjoying life etc. And when she says balance that means swing to one side and swing to the other!
It is a song inspired by Maria Jose, a mother from a girlfriend of Sarah, that is completely crazy for dancing 💃 whenever it is possible....Sarah explained the song in a concert....incredible Singer, Musician and a magic soul...
Sara Tavares... É de dar Graças a Deu a sua existência =) Uma das melhores cantoras portuguesas e sempre! Tomara todos os artistas tivessem a sua postura. A sua voz é simplesmente maravilhosa... até me faltam palavras para descrever, se é que se pode descrever o dom que ela tem! 5 ESTRELAS =)
Sara Tavares... É de dar Graças a Deu a sua existência =) Uma das melhores cantoras portuguesas de sempre! Tomara todos os artistas tivessem a sua postura.

I saw this video three times on mute on a plane; I had no headphones but finally I bought a pair for the final leg so I could hear what these people were so joyfully dancing to. I bought the album IMMEDIATELY. This song makes me feel good every time.
I am very glad that J Cole introduced Sara's work to this new generation of non-Portuguese speakers who were unaware of her brilliance.

Nelly Furtado was awesome when sampling others work and letting listeners explore new music. J Cole does this exceptionally well too
Unfortunately Sara has just passed away 😢
És e sempre serás a diva,tu sempre viveste em mim... grande perda,digo e repiso o mundo és uma das melhores vozes que já ouvi na minha vida, última vez que ouvi a tua voz foi no festival azgo(Moçambique) Sara,paz sua alma.🎤🎸♥️😭🇵🇹🇨🇻🇲🇿
Linda mesmo. Grande voz grande em tudo. Quando ouvi a triste notícia até me deu uma tristeza enorme
LOVE LOVE LOVE the way J. Cole sampled this song in his song "Losing My Balance"... the fact that he chose this even further proves his genius as a musician and his appreciation for good music. I am glad that I keep learning about great artists through their work with others that I have great respect for. I was introduced to J. Cole through mny favorite artist of all time, Jay-Z... and now I have been introduce to Sara Tavares through J. Cole. Awesome!!!!
Her voice is beautiful. The fact that J. Cole is aware of this song is amazing because it's not in English. Music really is universal.
Screw J. Cole. His music has got NOTHING in common with Tavares' direction and obvious talent. Cole is a boring one trick pony!!!!
+ThePolskiteddy wtf are you talking about you need to listen to something other than workout from j.cole
thats just wrong
just try it out
To the guy with the Russian Last name you obviously have no musical inclination to be make any comments. Putin doesn't let you guys listen to real music lmao
some singers have really good taste, and hear musics from many places... you dont know what you are losing, if you like to hear just English music
This is why sampling music from artist isn't stealing, it's taking art and expanding it to reach different cultures. I would gavr never found this beautiful song if it wasn't for J Cole
+GO Web Sara is amazing artist, She has a lot of good songs!

I did not think I would ever you be saying this. You are my favorite artist and always will be rest in paradise love.
For a whole week, I had no idea what she was saying and, as an American, I still loved every minute of it. You can always feel the spirit behind a person’s words, no matter the language.
Let me be the first to say, hers is beautiful.
Love this❤ Beauty in music and dance.
I can't speak the language,but I recognize real music with spirit when I hear it.WOW.I love this sistahs music

RIP😢 This song means so much to me ❤❤
Still listening in 2018!! 🙋🏾♀️
Timeless piece of art.

I listen to Sara Tavares since i was little, then i started listenin to J.Cole. Then i found out that he had sampled this song, and to me that is just genius. Dont know why yall are hatin on me. Thats pretty original for a rapper these days, if you compare him to Wiz Khalifa or Meek Mill, etc.
Muy Linda !!!!! I lo♥e Sara and specialy this song ~ thank you for sharing :)
Depois que descobri, nunca mais parei de ouvir! Espetáculo!!!
that guy who commented on JColes track brought me here.. and i am grateful...many thanks sir!

Grande viagem cósmica
Dá-me equilíbrio emocional.
Sinto-me forte espiritualmente.
Mistura de semba
2020 someone? I love this song😍😍
this song is able to clean my soul and my mind. :)
beautiful song.
Amazing voice. The instrumental, the softness..this is truly a treat for my ears. Can anybody tell me what she is talking about? I will be grateful.
I saw a comment but shes singing about dancing freely with children and being hapy and enjoying life etc. And when she says balance that means swing to one side and swing to the other!
Ah I see, explains the happiness in the video. Thank you for answering :))
It is a song inspired by Maria Jose, a mother from a girlfriend of Sarah, that is completely crazy for dancing 💃 whenever it is possible....Sarah explained the song in a concert....incredible Singer, Musician and a magic soul...

Lyrics: (Partially in English)
As seen dancing in Zimbabwe
I want you also waddle
A new dance
Semba Mix with Samba
Mambo De with Rumba
Your hand in mine
and mine in your
Balancê ye
ya scale
Swinga there
Swinga forth ye
Balancê ye
ya Balance
Maria Jose
Swing foot
but there comes p'ra ye
we are free to celebrate
we are free to free us
like children playing
smiling children
children being children ... ah!
As children playing
Smiling children
Children ...
Balancê ye
ya scale
Swinga there
Swinga forth ye
Balancê ye
ya Balance
Maria Jose
Swing foot
Otherwise there comes p'ra ye
love it when you take cues so
Fechas eyes and dances just for me
A dance your
not from mix not has
with a smile but that tells me that your disdain
is only one morning
that says it will but that comes
fool me I like
Balancê ye
ya scale
Swinga there
Swinga forth ye
Balancê ye
ya Balance
Maria Jose
Swing foot
but there comes p'ra ye
Balancê ye
ya scale
Swinga there
Swinga forth ye
Balancê ye
ya Balance
Maria Jose
Swing foot
but comes p'ra there ye
questa composizione è stupenda..grazie sara
