The way she’s singing is exactly how you’re supposed to sing fado... with ups and downs and power and softness...

[@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

[@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.

Technically fado is not sung with a microphone. That is supposed to be one of the signs you have mastered the style. :)

[@jeffreypick57]

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 !

[@sadithebest]

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)

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.

[@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.

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'

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)

Too much , Mariza, you have made us all love you forever!!

[@sagemenn]

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. Unless it’s a really broad accent I can’t tell them apart. No offense meant.

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.

She sings about sadness and a heavy heart, and as it relates to her land, her country. The crowd understands and applauds, and she connects...synergy, love, at its best ❤

[@alexandracastro9619]

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".

[@Blugater]

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 ❤️🇵🇹

[@luizlugon3641]

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.

[@paulkevinsmith7503]

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.

The Marisa's interpretation of this music represents so well the portuguese soul. Perfect!

[@PPedroFernandes]

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!

[@tiagosilva8920]

People from my land! Mariza sang for the first time in her country for thousands of people, after singing in many countries all over the world. She is moved because this time she is really singing for the people of her country. I always cry when I see .. Thanks for sharing.

[@joanabernardes9304]

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...

[@SusanaPRCoelho]

She sings about the people of her land, that's why she got emotional and the people were so loud clapping and invested, cause this was in Portugal, her home.

[@JoseMVelazquez]

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.

This song humbles me so, and compels me to surrender to my Portuguese heart and soul, thereby drawing me nearer to my authentic self, and embrace it with every fibre of my being. I love my Luso heritage with all of my heart. Mariza's incredible exotic, hauntingly, beautiful voice, bridges the gap between our Portuguese ethnicity, and enraptures it through the gift of her breathtaking, God given angelic voice! When I listen to Mariza's beautiful music my heart swells up with so much pride! Dear Mariza, may you always fill up our hearts with your inspirational Portuguese roots/soul music.

[@luisnunes2010]

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. ;-)

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 :)

[@_Mike_]

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.

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 ;)

[@alfredorodrigues2404]

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.

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.

[@vonhaek7067]

Very touching reaction to a wonderful performance by Mariza! I´ve started following your reactions after watching Elis Regina performing "Como Nossos Pais". Your comments are so accurate, you're so professional and fair with the things that you say. You put words to feelings that I´ve always felt when listening to these songs and never really managed to describe them! I just wish that Mariza would mention more often that this beautiful fado was composed by the late Amália Rodrigues, the First Lady of Portuguese Fado! A true diva in the real sense of the word! Perhaps a reaction to one of her performances wouldn't go amiss here Ms. Roars!!

[@mrvlhs]

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 👍.

[@smarques96]

This is the most beautiful ode to the sadness of the people of Portuguese, and this is the most wonderful and emotional version of this song. This is the general context of it, and the reason why there was such a huge emotional interchange between Mariza and the audience. After watching this video hundreds of times, it still gives me the chills every time.

Portugues é uma língua de possibilidades infinitas, sonoridades em ampla paleta em vogais e consoantes acentuadas por delicada pronuncia. Em Portugal e no Brasil as pronuncias ampliam para um universo ainda mais amplo.

[@gpeddino]

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.

This is what means to be portuguese. It's this nostalgic feeling that transcends language and goes right to your heart, wherever you are and whoever you are. Thank you! I get super emotional every time I watch this :)
