I'm a Portuguese metalhead, so you would think music like this wouldn't be in my interest. But damn, there isn't a single Portuguese in the world that doesn't get emotional listening to this. This music represents our people and our struggles, it's purely our heart.
Me too and and just love it, the true Portuguese essence
So True Jorge I’m an American-Portuguese and I cry every single time I hear this!
i usually listen rap/hip hop but i almost cry everytime i listen fado... im so proud to be Portuguese.
Eu sou portuguesa e não fico emocionada com fado, até porque eu odeio. (?)
@@biancas.5019 É um gosto adquirido tipo vinho tinto. Ninguém te julga se não gostares como é óbvio
The Portuguese guitar. No one talks about that? It's uniquely to Portugal. Also usually fado is sang only with two guitars.
Yes, that lovely guitar, that metallic sound was the Portuguese guitar. I absolutely LOVE it. Nothing to do with the Spanish guitar.
@ladyNikitashark or Ukelele we invented :)
Incredible sound of this guitar, a truly wonderful instrument. By the way the Hawaian Ukulele is based in a Portuguese instrument, the Cavaquinho
If you like the Portuguese guitar you have to listen to Carlos Paredes - Verdes Anos, a true master!
Portugal is land of celts
The subtitles: "Sings in foreign laguage"
Me: *laughs in portuguese*
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Verdade
Muito bom 😂
ahahaha mesmo
WE FEEL U
This is a song with a lot of history, sang by Amália Rodrigues for ages, and she is considered the best fado singer of all time by many people. The chorus says "oh people of my land, now I understand, this sadness that I bring with me, I inherited from you" and what I love about this video is that she started to cry because I think she really felt that. Mariza was touring the whole world by this time and this is a concert when she was finally back in Portugal, singing to "people of her land". She is a flawless singer, Fado is so hard and has so much emotion, but she almost never breaks. This is a moment when she does break. It's like she failed, but when she continues singing all the words and her voice got a new meaning. It's like a bird almost hitting the ground just to construct de balance to swing back to the air and give you one of the most beautiful flights.
Very nicely described.
Bem dito
"Oh people of my land" is a tribute to the land of malencolia, longing and saudade! The singer and the audience are so moved because they share the Portuguese experience "destiny that chains us all".
"When you hear the groans of a guitar singing," it's like the melody is calling you home and "you could almost see it as a lullaby, but it's really agony".
"This sadness that I bring with me, I inherited from all of you", is a reference to the melancholy at the heart of the Portuguese people and that is inherited from our ancestors ... the men who lost their lives at sea, the lonely women waiting at the altar , the shattered children, the emigrants ... This music embodies this feeling that all Portuguese can relate to and that is part of our core being.
💛
Acuratte
Well Said! 🙌
This is a unique type of music that only exist in Portugal. In Fado is our culture heritage, is the history of our country, is the life difficulty that our people had past. This kind of music isn't possible to be well sing, if you don't have the understanding to feel in you each word of the song. Fado is 100% feeling, is 100% heart. And the people who can understand the lyric of the song with the way the singer is interpreting the song can feel in his heart and his body each word. And yes when is well interpreted the public cry, but isn't not a sad crying, but a kind of liberating crying (feelings, emotions). That is Fado, a World Heritage.
Sónia Afonso obrigado, Sónia. Bem dito!
We have been in Portugal 3 times and it's always not enough, we really amazed how beautiful this country is, it's people. Last october Mariza visited Finland and we were heavenly happy to see her concert in Helsinki, one of the best I have ever seen. Amo Portugal!
Antti Seppänen thank you for your kind words. We love you too!
Thanks, we love to receive tourists
Oh thanks for this commentary. We love receive u. Come back all the time. Love from Portugal
Come back, there's lots to see and visit here :)
I wish I could visit Finland once!
Love from Portugal
I think this song is a Fado. I'm Brazilian and I think it's really beautiful and blue. Um abraço a todos os irmãos Portugueses!
Yes, it is Fado!! :)
Abraço
Um abraço para ti tb!
Sinta se abraçado por nós irmão ❤
The way she’s singing is exactly how you’re supposed to sing fado... with ups and downs and power and softness...
Fado is unique, Mariza is so talented and special. I grew up in Spain, and the people from Portugal are the most humble and elegant people of all the cultures that speak latin languages...they have a heavy melancolic feeling to them, love them!
Yes it's true
Obrigado ❤️
Thank you❤️🌹
Thank you for this huge compliment. You managed to put into words what I haven't been able to do. Stay safe.
@@Pauloajm15 Thank U!
I saw her in concert last year in New York at Town Hall. She is amazing! She opened up the concert singing without a microphone. The whole theater felt her powerful voice. I love her 😍
Now i cannot find it anymore but in her early years when asked She would sing nirvana or Pearl jam in such a way...
Technically fado is not sung with a microphone. That is supposed to be one of the signs you have mastered the style. :)
Ok, i'm Macedonian but anyway i love fado, and i want to say few words about this extraordinary connecting of the Mariza's and Lisboa (Portuguese) audience . Mariza is singing about her and her people in this song. They are so many here to listen her, and she is in situation to tell them in person the words that Amalia Rodriges wrote and she can sing for them.... What a opportunity she have hum? They can see her, they can hear and feel the Amalia's words in live that are written and singed for them through the incredibly expressive interpretation of Mariza who is an incredible rhapsod. They give her back all love and energy that she gives to them, and in one moment becomes an explosion of emotions between her and her people and she start to cry ( i believe and many many people in audience are crying in same moment) , she is giving them the secret silent and the most sophisticated part of the song without words but with her tears actually . After that culmination she gives the end of the song on the best way she can and she is touching her chest (heart). Mariza is one the most amazing performers in present time for me
Marisa it’s a huge fado singer yes and the Portuguese guitar’s player calls Luis Guerreiro, another “monster” in Portugal. I love this song! It’s about portugueses emigrants!
Well written, thank you.
It's like a gift to be able to see it like you do, not being Portuguese. Thank you.

Só percebe o sentimento do fado quem é português.
Mariza, uma diva. E essa canção mesmo ao estilo do nosso povo.
Portugal! 🇵🇹
Eu sou, mas não gosto de fado, mas sempre é melhor do que ouvir o pirulinha(piruka)
Eu tou numa banda de punk rock
Eu sou portuguesa e tenho 15 anos e assim que ouvi fado pela primeira vez senti algo bastante estranho como se o fado fosse a minha vida e sempre que ouço esta música choro ❤️❤️
Para ultrapassar uma Mariza é difícil talvez uma fadista igualmente ou ainda mais talentosa é a Amália Rodrigues
Música de velho
É meu e vosso, este Fado It's mine and yours, this Fado
Destino que nos amarra Destiny that ties us
Por mais que seja negado However much it is denied
Às cordas de uma guitarra To the strings of a guitar
Sempre que se ouve um gemido Whenever one hears a moan
De uma guitarra a cantar Of a guitar singing
Fica-se logo perdido One gets lost right away
Com vontade de chorar Wanting to cry
Refrão: Chorus:
Ó gente da minha terra* Oh people of my land*,
Agora é que eu percebi Only now did I realise
Esta tristeza que trago This sadness I carry
Foi de vós que a recebi It was you I got it from
E pareceria ternura And it'd seem like tenderness
Se me deixasse embalar If I let myself get lulled
Era maior a amargura Greater would be my sorrow
Menos triste o meu cantar Less sad my singing
This is my translation, so little changes can always be done by everyone. Better than Google Translator, though. Hope this helps to understand the song's emotion. ;D
(Big edit below)
*The word 'terra' is polysemous in Portuguese:
1. Written with a capital T, 'Terra' means Earth. 'Planeta Terra' = Planet Earth
2. Written with a lower case t, 'terra' can mean 'dirt' as in 'estrada de terra batida' = 'dirt road' but it can also mean hometown, home country, settlement, village in which you were born. Clearly this last meaning is the one present in the song, specially when you consider the fact that Portugal has around 10 milion people and an additional estimated 2 milion are emigrants, having had throughout the years to go abroad in search for better living standards. No wonder why the use of the word 'terra' is so common when the milions of the Portuguese diaspora feel homesick. That's probably why this song rings so true and deeply to a lot of people, Portuguese and non-Portuguese folks.
Also, now that I'm deep into this explanation, I'd direct your attention to the first verse. 'Fado' means of course this traditional Portuguese music genre but it also means 'fate', so the verse can mean this Fado song is mine and yours, but at the same time also mean 'we have the same fate; we're all bound to the same end; we're all in this together'. As you can see, it can mean different things depending on your subjective interpretation.
Obrigado!
I'm Portuguese, born in 1984 - this is the most spot on translation I've seen. Also with copious translation notes that helps whomever to understand it. I'm humbled by this, truly. Trust this comment: from a native such as myself, this just felt so right in translation but also just kind of re-finding my own self in another language. Wow.
Salve!
This is by far the best explanation. I'm also portuguese and I have such a hard time not crying when I hear it. There are too many meanings it's beautiful ❤
Excelente
Just so you get an idea, after that emotional, quiet bit, her last chorus was:
"Oh, gente da minha terra...
Agora é que eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Esta tristeza que trago,
Foi de vós que a recebi."
Which means something like:
"Oh people of my land...
Now, I have understood
This sadness I carry inside
This sadness I carry inside,
I received it from you."
It's a song about longing for our land and our people, and fado is often emotional in its performances and lyrics. It's a lovely moody genre, and I agree with you, the strings are beautiful.
Besides this, Fado has a new wave of singers now, and she one of the bests. When she started, fado was listened mainly by elderly or Portuguese immigrants overseas. But she started to make everyone love it again. And as you can see, in this concert, she has a full house. So, such an emotional song, talking about the "people of my land"... and with a full house giving her back all of those emotions. Made her cry. (that's my explaination)
@@MrVirus1982 full 20.000 people in that concert! Not bad!
@@MrVirus1982 hell no! I love to hear old soul Fado. I'm 26 years old. And I think I always loved Fado. When I sing Fado always cry. I love a song from Antonio Severino about I lady who lost the love of her life to the sea. My skin goes chill because I am a fisherman's wife. Portugal has so many GOOD secrets people. A small country with lots of love and soul
Land there is more mother land, place where she belongs and misses a lot
@@Ajoaninha2024 you're an exception, because portuguese youth wouldn't care about Fado before Mariza.
Love and respect from a Spaniard who absolutely adores fado... and Mariza!!
I have seen her in concert several times. I went to Madrid to watch her and was in the front row of the circle, when she came and stood in front of me to sing an encore. She is totally mesmerising. She can twist her voice any which way she wants. Most of her songs are really emotional, and all you see is her face and hear her voice, usually dressing in black, to emphasise her white hair and her eyes ! Yu spend the whole concert with goose bumps ! Can you imagine an whole audience totally engrossed in every note - and openly crying !
Sou brasileira e acho o fado português uma das coisas mais lindas que existem, muita alma! nunca ouvi nada parecido no mundo!
Dulce Ponte "canção do mar"
Repare-se na emoção que os próprios guitarristas manifestam...
Quem for assistir a um concerto da mariza, leve lenços...
Vai emocionar-se e soltar uma lagrima.🙂🙃💜
É puro FADO , é Pura ALMA
É brasileira mas é Franco apelido portuga, talvez por isso sinta!! 🤔
The lyrics were originally written by Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999), a Portuguese singer known as the "Queen of Fado". Here's the full lyrics, with my translation and a few notes:
"Gente Da Minha Terra" (people of my land)
É meu e vosso este fado (this fado is mine and yours) - the word "fado" actually means "fate"
Destino que nos amarra (a fate that binds us)
Por mais que seja negado (even though it is denied)
Às cordas de uma guitarra (to the strings of a guitar)
Sempre que se ouve um gemido (whenever you hear the whimper)
Numa guitarra a cantar (of a singing guitar)
Fica-se logo perdido (you're suddenly lost)
Com vontade de chorar (and you feel like crying)
Ó gente da minha terra (oh, people of my land)
Agora é que eu percebi (only now I have noticed)
Esta tristeza que trago (that all this longing I carry with me)
Foi de vós que a recebi (I received it from you all)
E pareceria ternura (and it would be delightful)
Se eu me deixasse embalar (if I lost myself in its flow) - the long "hmmm" sound (5:07) is the first syllable in "embalar", a word also used to refer to the soothing effect of a lullaby
Era maior a amargura (everything would be more bitter)
Menos triste o meu cantar (but less sad would be my song)
Ó gente da minha terra (oh, people of my land)
Agora é que eu percebi (only now I have noticed)
Esta tristeza que trago (that all this longing I carry with me)
Foi de vós que a recebi (I received it from you all)
@ML8593wy It's actually a poem by Amália.
@ML8593wy no! It was written by Amália and singed by her as well.
yeah and Amalia is the queen of fado...
Andreia Simão Não Andreia,a Amália nunca cantou isto,"só"escreveu o poema. Quem o musicou foi a Mariza
Excelente tradução. Parabéns.
Excelent translation!
I am a Brazilian living in Portugal and I love this country and its traditional music (Fado).
This song represents the love to our homeland (Portugal), were someone had to go outside to guet differents/better opportunities that could not had in their country. The feelings here are love, saudade (missing), nostalgia, carinho (affection) for what was left behind: home, friends, family.
It is a beautiful representation for all the emigrants who had to go outside regardless of the reason that led to it.
"Portuguese, the last flower from Latium". My beautiful language!
She's singing to "her people" .
And "her people" are singing back.
She's an amazing Fado singer ❤️ thank you for this.
This song is about Portuguese people and she is so emotional coz she spends so much away from Portugal and when she returns the public loves her
You can notice the emotion on her singing but you really have to check the lyrics and how it connects with Portuguese History to understand why she's crying.
This song is a Ode to our people and our struggles. It's beautiful.
Thank you so much for crying with us on this one... She's basically talking (more like singing) about a feeling called 'saudade' that really has no translation in any other language and that is so intrinsically linked to our cultural heritage and our national identity in Portugal. It's a mix of nostalgia, longing and melancholy and every Portuguese feels it deeply. She says in the chorus something along these lines :
"Oh people of my land,
Now I finally understand,
This melancholy that I carry with me,
I inherited it from you'

It has nothing to do with this, but i feel like people should know this: ukelele is a portuguese instrument, it's from Portugal 🇵🇹, not from Hawaii :)
Na realidade existe uma diferença é verdade o ukelele tem o cavaquinho e a viola braguesa como ancestrais mas é um instrumento diferente pois um ukelele tem restriçoes quanto a tamanho ao contrario do cavaquinho e o material das cordas também é diferente, cordas de aço no cavaquinho e de nylon no ukelele.
P.S. Apenas uma crítica construtiva.
@@_Mike_ eu estudo música e tenho um cavaquinho e um ukelele, eu sei disso. Obrigada pela crítica construtiva :) mas afinal o ukelele não é de portugal??

@@isapisa3817 ora nem mais! 👏👏👏👏
I'm Portuguese and I cry every single time, every single time I listen to this performance... No words for this feeling!
Same here, miss my parents who from The Azores.
I am an expat. I miss home, especially nowadays, and this song always makes my Portuguese heart tight, it makes sob like a little child.
I'm Portuguese, the first time I heard this version sang by Mariza I legit bawled my eyes out. If there ever was a song that expressed what it means to be Portuguese it's this one. There's a reason it's called "Oh gente da minha terra" = "Oh people of my land".
So hard to explain the wealth of feelings you get when you don't speak the language and how beautifully written the poem is, but I think that even without understanding the words, Mariza sings them so emotionally that anyone gets it, at least a little bit.
Thank you for doing this video, it's always super neat to see an outside perspective to my culture. Wasn't expecting it at all.
We have been in Portugal 3 times and it's always not enough, we really amazed how beautiful this country is, it's people. Last october Mariza visited Finland and we were heavenly happy to see her concert in Helsinki, one of the best I have ever seen. Amo Portugal!
Sempre me emociono ao ouvi-la
Hey, Luumus, It's "bawled my eyes out", not "balled my eyes out"...
She's tensing her jaw due to pronunciation. It makes the word stick out, it's 100% intentional. Just like the rrr and the sss 👍.
12 strings guitar.....no easy, and Fado.....music that goes straight into your feelings and emotions...this is portuguese culture in the most pure essence
She’s literally singing a song of hers that is an ode to the people of her country. “Oh people of my land” she’s singing at home with the Belem tower and the Tagus river there and thousands of people who love her and her music... that’s why she’s so emotional. I love it!
Hi, nice and accurate react to Mariza, let me suggest to you "Canção do Mar" by Dulce Pontes. Greetings from Portugal.
Oh yeaah, please!
Awesome suggestion!! Great singer great music! Do this one!
I was going to suggest that song also.
There was a American serie that started with it.
Grrat, great suggestion!

The Portuguese soul in one song!!

My soul is punk
@@naifahardcore6783 😂😂 yet here you are 😉
Wonderful, watching and responding to one of my favorite artists. I do believe that this particular concert occured when Mariza returned from a very well received world wide tour. A tour that brought honor both to Portugal and to Fado. The audience was already so in love with her, and she fully returned their love with her voice and with her heart.
Imagine you’re singing to your people and you feel that they are feeling every single word, every single whisper between each word, every single guitar note, and their chests are filled with melancholy, happiness and sadness at the same time... the lyrics address that people and it’s like a lament but also a celebration of a whole nations soul... and the you can have a slight idea of why she cries ... and believe me, I cannot help to cry each time I watch this video... Too much , Mariza, you have made us all love you forever!!
Fado is deeply emotional and this one is one of the most emotional for portuguese nationals, and even for me as a spaniard, I always cry listening to Mariza, the song is about the roots of portuguese people, their saudade, the melancholy that means being portuguese and part of that land and tthat people. Is about the essence and soul of people in her home country
sagemenn well put, also there is in that pause when Mariza sheds some tears, a surrender of feelings, a love that is just overwhelming for the Portuguese people to whom she is singing. The amazing thing is, the crowd totally embraces her, as if caching her fall ever so gently and brings her up again, all this while the complicity with the guitarist shows when he fills in with an improv so she can get herself together. . And all this happens at a level of energy that is beyond words, it actually happens without them. It’s a realization that she belongs to us, and us to her, and no matter what may come, we’ve got each other. I really cannot explain how, it’s centuries of being the way we are all condensed in a moment. It’s a shame Beth doesn’t speak Portuguese, because we can translate everything perfectly and so much would still be lost in translation. To Beth, whenever you can, I’m assuming you live in Ireland, jump on a plane and come and visit us. I risk saying you will fall in love with the country. You will be so indulged that no doubt you will go back to Ireland weighing an extra stone.
Note: Ouch, sorry for mistaking you for being Irish. Unless it’s a really broad accent I can’t tell them apart. No offense meant.
sagemenn even for us Brazilians.. this is our roots. Our mother’s land.. our shared language.. Fado is the singing expression of Saudades.
❤
I have seen Mariza live since her first UK performances. She is absolutely hypnotic. Some performers have 'it,' but the only rival to her that I have seen live was Freddie.
Wow,Billy!! That's quite an comparison!!
Wow, thank you 🌹❤️
I wish I could have seen Freddie 😢
Yes!!❤😊
The lyrics for this song in english are:
"Is both mine and yours this fado
destiny that tides us (together)
no matter how much it is denied
by the strings of a guitar
whenever one hears a lament
of a guitar singing
one is instantly lost
With a desire to weep
Oh people of my land
Now I understand
This sadness which I carry on
Was from you that I received
and it would seem tenderness
If I let myself be soothed
my anguish would be greater
my singing (would be) less sadder
Oh people of my land"
Enjoy!!
One remark, since Fado has a double meaning in this song - both the name of the music type, but it also means a form of inescapable fate - the term fado comes from the Latin Fatum.
But great translation mate. Congratulations
When she tenses her jaw she is saying “chorar” (to cry). Check out the lyrics, they are so emotional.
Impossible to be a portuguese and not cry to this song. Very special singer with lyrics that talk directly to us
By the way, one of the great things in this show, was when mariza start to cry, the Guitar Player (Portuguese Fado Guitar), just keep the music on track, He just went on.......the show must go, this happens alot with fado players, when the singer just can stand the tears, the guitar players just go on ;)
Sou fã da Mariza... Voz maravilhosa
Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷
I'm Portuguese and I feel like knowing the words of what she's singing gives the song such a different feel that if you're a foreigner listening. Listening to it without knowing what she's saying is already so moving, just imagine knowing what she's saying, it's soooo good
The tension on the jaw, closed vowels and control of head and chest voice bursting is very typically used in Fado.
It's like a language on its own :) Very specific of this genre of music.
The emotion and sadness of "saudade" is too. She's talking about "oh my people" - "Oh gente da minha terra".
The lyrics in english:
It's mine and yours this fate
Destiny that ties us down
No matter how much it is denied
To the strings of a guitar
When ever one ears a cry
Of a guitar singing
One is just lost
Wanting to cry
Oh people of my country
Now have I understood
This sadness that I carry
It was from you that I received
And it would seem tenderness
If I let myself be carried away by a lullaby
It would be a greater anguish
Less sad my singing
Oh people of my country
Now I have understood
This sadness that I carry
It was from you that I received
Corus repeats
Hope it helps. Sorry I took so long, it shouldn't take the metalhead to do it. ;-)
Será que trocar "country" por "land", não ficaria melhor?
@@joaosimoes8398 pode se sim, mas o seu significado é que não é totalmente identico

@@Nitro3399 Erro. Excessivamente literal. Em inglês a palavra land não tem o significado visceral de terra em português. Refere-se exclusivamente à paisagem, à geografia, não ao povo. Usar nation seria o erro oposto.
Close translation, but I'd trade country for land as well.
Mariza is something else!! Out of this world the way she feels the music, the feelings and interpretation of the songs. She is fantastic.
She's singing about the people of her land, the name of the song translated means" oh people from my land" so emotional true Portuguese culture right there...
Also important the portuguese guitar its unique in the world
Mariza is very emotional, and that’s why we love her. Portugal rocks.
Esta canción, gente de mi tierra, en Lisboa, dice que es lo que le transmite su público, su gente, por esto tanta emoción. Maravillosa canción de Amalia Rodrigues y maravillosa Mariza.
😊❤
One of the 13040392... reasons why i am so proud to be Portuguese. 😭
My father passed away last December, is favourite song was "Quem me dera" by Mariza. He was cremated and we buried the ashes below his favourite tree, where he used to play as a child, nearby the house he was born. That song was playing in the background... Since that day, whenever i fall asleep i can hear Mariza's song in my mind. Actually, i'm hearing it right now. Que SAUDADES meu pai!
Força Telmo, ele vive em vós. Abraço!
I do not pretend to be an authority on Fado, or singing. Or even someone who understands Portuguese. It just turns out that Mariza enchanted me. I'll just go with that.
"Please tell-me watt this is abaut"
The lyrics can be translated ... read and understood, however feeling it will not be that easy. I am Portuguese, I was born in this "little corner of the world" I genetically carry Fado, the story of my people, fado is more than a song and a poem, fado is a feeling ...
"The people of my home land" is a pour way of translate this feeling....
This fate is mine and yours Destiny that ties us As much as it is denied To the strings of a guitar Whenever a groan is heard From a guitar singing You are soon lost In the mood to cry
O people of my land Now is that I realized This sadness I bring It was from you that I received And it would seem tenderness If you let me pack The bitterness was greater Less sad my singing O people of my land Now is that I realized This sadness I bring It was from you that I received it O people of my land Now is that I realized This sadness I bring This sadness I bring It was from you that I received it.

I’ve heard this song thousands of time and today I just let it go !! Has Portuguese and immigrant a son and father this song hits me in all the spots
Beth, this tune is wonderful!
I'm from Brazil, and I love Portuguese music.
Seeing you moved with this song also made me cry once more (I guess most of us who just watched your video also did it) and makes me think that, definitely, music is something who can bring joy, happiness and emotion in ANY language.
That's Fado doing its job, touching people around the world! ❤
Obrigado (Thanks) for your video!
Beth, essa música é maravilhosa!
Sou do Brasil e amo a Música Portuguesa.
Vendo a sua emoção nesta canção me fez chorar mais uma vez (acho que muitos de nós que acabamos de ver seu vídeo, também) e me faz pensar que, definitivamente, música é algo que pode trazer alegria, felicidade e emoção em QUALQUER idioma.
Esse é o Fado, fazendo seu trabalho, emocionando as pessoas pelo mundo! ❤
Obrigado pelo seu vídeo!
You understood everything, much before any translation. And you never needed to be portuguese like me! Thank you for this!
Simple trie
True
Ela canta emocionada sobre as pessoas da terra dela. É uma canção sobre amor ao país.
Thank you so much for opening your mind and heart to our culture, music and Mariza. I always listen to this song when I start missing Portugal and my family and I’m glad there are other Londoners/Brits appreciating her talent and how she represents our culture. Thank you!💚🇵🇹❤️
I was already in love with this performance, then she had to throw in that agility at the end! Sealed the deal for me.

@@BethRoars Beth Mariza is Amazing, but the absolute Queen of Fado for every Portuguese Person was Amalia Rodrigues..ua-cam.com/video/NMLUxxjSVMs/v-deo.html
Thanks for bringing people from all over the world to find out what makes them them! :) Specially the portugueses speakers! Regards from Brazil!
Thanks for watching!
@@BethRoars try to listen Madredeus / Teresa Salgueiro
This song it’s about “the people for my land” the Portuguese and the bittersweet emotions of her her sadness the feelings of fado that is always about sad felling or topics like loves from the past or the land and the poor the insusses the work and how beautiful sorrowvcan be . It’s a nostalgic time of song
This is the power of music. She probably doesn't understand a single word of the music but the emotion crosses all linguistic boarders. Fado is amazing! Greetings from Lisbon Portugal ❤️🇵🇹
Soooooo happy you listened and reacted to this!!! I love Mariza's work and it's helping me as I learn Portuguese ❤
I discovered Fado a few years ago and although I'm a rock/metal person I really enjoy it, and Mariza is great! Ana Moura and Carminho are two other singers I like.
This song's title translates to People of my Land (or something like that, I don't speak portuguese, but it's somewhat similar to spanish which I do speak) and since she was raised in Lisbon and this concert is in Lisbon you can see why she gets emotional.
Have you found Madredeus yet?

Just a bit of context. See that tower in the background at 4:03? That's Lisbon's "Torre de Belém", a fortification from the 16th century and a very important Portuguese historical landmark. Mariza is a Portuguese singer, performing in the city where she grew up, and singing a song in which she literally exclaims "oh, people of my land, only now I have noticed that all this longing I carry with me, I received it from you all." Also, the lyrics were written by Amália Rodrigues, the most renowned Fado artist ever and a symbol of Portugal herself. I think that kinda explains why she seems so moved throughout.
The Marisa's interpretation of this music represents so well the portuguese soul. Perfect!
So proud 🇵🇹
Orgulho em Ser Portuguesa e pertencer a esta fantástica comunidade e país que é o Nosso Portugal ,nobre povo ❤️
I'm a braziliam guy and I love The way Mariza sings. She's amazing and I'm gratefull to know her music . She is the great portuguese diva and through her music I've could to know another great diva, Amália Rodrigues. All my love to Portugal came through that fabulous Mariza.
Beth, this music is about the Portuguese people, an ode to Portuguese and how she's thankful, and how the fado is connected to the Portuguese.
I was fortunate to see Mariza in concert once, and it's definitely one of the top performances I've ever seen.
Pure emotion: Mariza's voice and portuguse guitar.
Hey Beth! So Fado is actually not just some song or sttyle, it's actually quite unique worldwide and meaningful. Fado means the inevitable sad, longing and unfulfilled destiny of us all. In Portugal when we sing fado, it can be from our grandparents, parents, it's something we sing with meaning, with sadness, and unites us all as a family, as portuguese, and at last as a human being. We have this feeling that is most likely not felt in such a harsh matter that is Saudade, that means the missing love, the unfulfillable longing of missing something, mixed with nostalgia. And we sing it. We are proud of it beacause it's not just an acomplishment for the portuguese but for the whole world how can't express the feelings of loss and sadness, that's why the words sound heavy and sad, cause they are, we tend to say they are not sang they are cryed or choradas. Please react to Amália Rodrigues if you liked and felt Fado. It's actualy not only a matter of a song and a lyric, it's poetry, and there are songs of Fado written by Luis de Camões, if you don't know he was the author of the only European Epopey, and the first one, and one of the first poet in the whole world that told the story, the feelings, the courages and weaknesses of the portuguese people, we where his hero on the epopey. Glad you did this video.
Thank you for the information! x
I Love this vídeo 😭😭😭
One of the meanings it’s about the people who have leave the country to find a better life, but they missing terrible their country, missing their home, their family... It’s about missing their people, “saudade” and the heavy sadness about it.
You must visit her concerts! It is magical! She sing 3 hours, live, nothing pre-recorder, sometimes even without any musical accompaniment!
Beth!
The tension in the vowels and the tendency to keep them more closed than open, is related with the pronunciation, the accent, of the Portuguese spoken in Portugal, which is quite different from the Portuguese spoken in Brazil.
I'm Brazilian, but I love fado.
It's because she has a Lisbon accent, it doesn't sound the same across the country. For example, the way we (lisbon) whistle the "s" is very unique to us, as well as the way as we open the vowels way more than they should be opened
Lindo! Portugal, Portugal, terra de meus avos maternos!!
Tenha sempre orgulho dessa herança que lhe corre nas veias!
This song is about realizing that the pain one constantly carries inside is the pain of being human, and with that, realizing that it is not unique to oneself, it is recieved from all the other people that came before. Realizing that this particular sadness one carries is the Universal sadness of being human. "People of my land, now I realize that this sadness I carry... I recieved it from you"
she cried because she finally understood the meaning of the song :) , she had to be away for so long and once she came back she saw what it true meaning
Mariza is just a goddess. That Portuguese guitar... oh my
As a portuguese, I can't listen to this without crying! The music is beautiful by it self, but when you understand the lyrics, and you just feel like Portugal is inside that woman's heart, it's on another level!
I was fortunately able to see Mariza live in concert a few years ago. It was one of the top five performances I've ever seen.
I love Mariza, and the Portuguese fado, it's their best traditional music.
She's a great singer and a lady.
to put it simple, its about her "People" for her "People"... being the good, the bad, but what means to be Portuguese. The tradition of Portuguese people
Thank you for listening to Marisa.
I found quite interesting that you found, in Marisa's voice, the mix that represents Portugal. We are the synthesis of e euroasian soul, a big mix of Phoenicians, Celta's, Romans, Nordic's, Moorish's and the so called Cristian's. People of my land as a Portuguese says that we are all connected, all the pain and joy we received, came from our ancestor's, since the dawn of times. To be Portuguese, it's to be everything and everyone at the same time in every part.
Who is born Portuguese is either by mission or punishment. More we mix more pure we are! :)
We are very blessed in Portugal to have female voices like Mariza. She is a nice example of our cultural blend and this is why it’s so unique and genuine. You should try other female Portuguese voices such as Teresa Salgueiro with Madredeus and Dulce Pontes. Incredible and very surprising singers as well. Thanks so much for your reaction! Cheers!
First, realize this: There are lady singers who can sing a nice Portuguese folk song. And there are Fadista's. There is a world of difference between those. Mariza earned her credits to be a Fadista. Even though she was just a girl from the "colonies'.. The standards in LisBoa, the capital, were mile high, with legends as Amalia Rodriguez still in memory... And there Mariza came, and what you see is that she becomes accepted, the highest honor she can get.
Not many shall succeed, for you must be talented beyond imagination. Say that Mariza sang in the Albert Hall and cut off the amplifiers and did her singing 'like at home'... It's a harsh trial to do that. So there will be many who will not succeed.. And still they will feel the longing, for that great success, that will never come. Can you feel that? Then you can feel Saudade..
born levensregt , Amalia is not Rodriguez, but Rodrigues. Rodriguez is Spanish, Rodrigues is Portuguese
@@MrPrimoj Tx.. I was searching for Rodriguez (tango orchestra) and Amalia appeared, written in Spanish
Nunca ouço sem me arrepiar 🙌 I always get chills listening to Gente da Minha Terra
I rarely comment, but I have to comment on this one. Being Portuguese away from my Country for the last 6 years this songs hits all the notes. This song is about "Saudade", that feeling of missing your home.. The chorus is something like this:
Oh people of my land
Now I realized
This sadness I bring
It was from you that I received it
Translating to English it losing it's full impact, but I'm a grown ass man, and this songs makes me cry.
Cheers.
Have a beautiful day!
(Saudade forever)
Hi Beth love your reacts and thanks for reacting to Mariza.
I'm also Portuguese :)
All the best for you😉😉
I'm so so very sorry Beth you didn't understand the words... This is perfect breathtaking masterpiece - the music, the poem, the voice, the performance, the guitar and violins... Thank you so much for your feelings.... Mariza is like an ancient goddess crying for her people...
Hoje vi pela primeira vez este vídeo, não o vídeo da Mariza ao qual já assisti imensas vezes é que sim, faz sempre chorar. A razão dessa emoção deve-se à força com que é cantada a essência dos portugueses, a sua história, o luto, a simplicidade e a capacidade batalhadora deste povo. A Mariza transporta-nos a uma dimensão superior! Creio que todas as palavras são poucas para explicar o verdadeiro sentimento Português. Sinto-me orgulhoso pela música que cá fazemos e pela qual vivemos e somos reconhecidos. Aproveito para agradecer o vosso interesse! Um grande abraço desde Portugal …num fado alegre , forte e feliz!
I am 60 years old and proud to be portugese every time I hear this fado I cry reminds me of my people, I was lucky to see her live in Montreal hope she comes back to Montreal in the near future, this fado is very powerful full of emotions.
The strings are Portuguese guitar with a set of 12 strings almost like and Indian citara . If you liked it check Carlos Paredes the Portuguese master in Portuguese guitar. This song is about the love and the recognition of Mariza to the Portuguese people and of the immense Portuguese community spread around the world and missing home seak. There is no exact translation of saudade in English. It's a feeling deep inside our country and that's why fado was born and gained so many fans around the world. Even without understanding the lyrics everybody can relate to the string of the guitar, the melody or the voice and the feeling the singer puts in the performance. Amália was the Queen of fado and she had fans all around the world, from the USA to Japan... Thank you for your reaction and also for keeping it real. 1 idea, try to listen it with your eyes closed. Tears guaranteed! Love from Portugal 😉❤️
she was crying because these show was a no paying, and so many people go there to whatch
it's a very strong music, you should see de translation
Muito obrigado menina, por divulgar os nossos artistas e a nossa musica. Mais uma vez o meu muito obrigado e um beijinho grande aqui de Lisboa-Portugal
Fado é sentimentos. A letra fala do povo. Ela está emocionada porque está a cantar paro o seu povo de Lisboa. Foi um momento muito intimidade. A letra diz que a cantora recebeu o dom de cantar fados do seu povo. É mesmo muito bonito.
Firstly the z in her name is pronounced softly. Secondly, get the translated version of the Fado and you will understand her emotion because she was singing this in front of her ‘home audience’ at a free open air concert in Belém (Lisbon) of 30’000 people, where she lives. Hence her breaking down.
I know her personally and the guitarist you see in the video is called Louis Guerreiro. I was there at that concert and the ovation at the end lasted for 10 minutes. She is fenomenal.
I hope this explains some of what occurred that day. But that kind of response happens in most of her concerts. Go to one if you can. It’s even better than via a video. In fact, it can be even be life changing. For me it was. The first time I saw her live was in 2003. And there was no ‘going back’ since. Thank you for your video. 🙏🏼
