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.

WE FEEL U

[@minescoimbra]

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.

[@anodyne57]

Portugal is land of celts

[@TheMaryyJ]

"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.

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.

[@bitolcanecc]

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

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 !

[@SLBtosantos]

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.

[@anapaulaconceicaosilva5662]

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.

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.

[@MrVirus1982]

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)

[@gpeddino]

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)

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

[@Ferreira019760]

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.

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.

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".

[@annamarial2960]

This is why I learnt Portuguese. I a mesmerised by this language. The rolled double R in "gente da miniature teRRA" just sounds so so beautiful...

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.

[@tiagorodrigues1598]

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)

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!

Esse é o Fado, fazendo seu trabalho, emocionando as pessoas pelo mundo! ❤ Obrigado pelo seu vídeo!

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. ;-)

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.

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.

[@fabioqueiroz1318]

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.

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"

[@troiscarottes]

troiscarottes il y a 0 seconde I was moved to see that I, a 72-year French teacher of English, share deep-felt emotions with a young British vocal coach when listening to Mariza's rendering of "A Gente da Minha Terra. I, as a speaker of Portuguese, probably focus more on the lyrics as well as the diachronic and synchonic environments of Mariza's performance, but you add an element that I would be quite unable to grasp by myself, so I'll now be able to listen to my fado records - not just Mariza's - from a fresh perspective. Thank you.

[@wilsondominguesfrazao1600]

This song is called "People from my land". It's one of the last poems written by the great fado singer Amalia Rodrigues, but she didn't recorded. It's about missing your culture and the love for the ones of your own country. I play fado for almost 10 years in Lisbon and belive me that i see people crying every night for the power of it and most of the times they people don't even understand the lyrics because they are tourists. What you felt by listen to Mariza you will feel with another great fado singers and great compositions and ambience...

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.

[@carolinaapintoo]

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

[@noelleparris9451]

[@joaopaulohenriques1404]

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!

[@victorGimlin1]

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 😉❤️
