He sings with soul, the deep soul of a people of the sea. Iolanda manages to convey our soul and our essence in this song. We don't give shows, we give music

Estupenda reacción 👍 Me encanta Grito ❤ Es una canción preciosa, delicada pero a la vez con fuerza ❤ Iolanda con su voz transmite y hace sentir más allá del idioma, eso es hermoso 😍 Creo que este año es fuerte pero me parece que Portugal está infravalorada. Espero que se reconozca merecidamente. Saludos desde España 🇪🇸

Thank you so much. Sending love from Portugal. The lyrics are all about hope. This is my song from the first time I heard it.

[@luisfilipe9272]

Such a beautiful song from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@carlossaraiva8213]

The song is called Grito which in portuguese means Shout. Yet the word is not mentioned once in the lyrics. Instead Iolanda shouts near the end. Quite meta and clever.

[@aninhas1bb]

I think you should see the translation, it still gives you goosebumps but this song is incredible (I speak because I'm Portuguese)

[@tkat9532]

This is really good! I was having a bad day yesterday when I told you I wasn’t excited about this year’s songs. This is another good one!

This is the lyrics of the song. I did the translation too. Great music from my country. A strong bet from Portugal, Iolanda has an incredible voice, excellent interpretation and performance. Grito Ouvi, senti O corpo a carregar Seguimos assim Um e outro Um e outro Um e outro Sou queda livre Aviso quando lá chegar Entrego-me aqui Pouco a pouco Passos largos presa na partida Quero largar o que me deixou ferida Peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia Nascer de novo Transformei cada verso de mim E entregue à coragem Que ainda arde Ainda arde Bate a luz no peito e abre Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Ainda arde Hoje eu quero provar a mim mesma Que posso ser o que eu quiser Juntar quem me quer bem numa mesa Perdoar quem me quis ver sofrer A mim não me enganam! (Não!) Eu sou todo o tamanho Ainda lembro quando era pequena Eu sonhava primeiro Passos largos presa na partida Hoje eu largo aquilo que me deixou ferida E peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia Nascer de novo Transformei cada verso de mim E entregue à coragem Que ainda arde Ainda arde Bate a luz no peito e abre Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Ainda arde Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Arde Arde Arde Transformei cada verѕo de mim E entregue à coragem Que ainda arde Ainda arde Bate a luz no peito e abre Sou chama que ainda arde Ainda arde Ainda arde … Translate Shout I heard, I felt The body to carry We continue like this One and the other One and the other One and the other I'm free falling Let me know when you get there I surrender here Little by little Long steps stuck in the match I want to let go of what left me hurt I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns Today I want to prove myself That I can be whatever I want Bring together those who love me at a table Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer They don't fool me! (No!) I'm all size I still remember when I was little I dreamed first Long steps stuck in the match Today I let go of what left me hurt And I ask the mother star to make the day Born again I transformed every verse of me And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns I am a flame that still burns It still burns Burn Burn Burn I transformed every version of myself And give in to courage That still burns It still burns Hit the light on your chest and open it I am a flame that still burns It still burns It still burns …

O “grito” da alma . 🇵🇹

[@vipergti8047]

Thanks for the Review and interest in Portuguese culture. Hug from Portugal. I would say that this song has a little bit of everything that is Portuguese. As for the styles, it has some clear "Fado", Epic and also some "Hip Hop" and modern choreography, but this is more than anything an Anthem of perseverance, self-discovery and resilience. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope. Here is the ANALYSIS of Iolanda's "Grito", Portugal's choice: "Grito", presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the protagonist's eternal spirit, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization. Topics such as: Vulnerability and surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly suggesting the anticipation of change or the accumulation of emotional energy. It speaks of relinquishing control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender is not about giving up, but about embracing the process of transformation.) Liberation: "I want to get rid of what hurt me" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and advancement. Renewal: For example, asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a call to rebirth, a new beginning, and the hope that comes with a new day. Transformation: "I have transformed every verse of mine" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She evolved through her experiences. Persistence: The oft-repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes continued struggle and resilience. Despite the challenges, his spirit and determination remain unwavering. Self-affirmation: "Today I want to prove my worth / That I can be anything I want to be" reflects a strong sense of self-confidence and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future. Forgiveness: "Forgiving those who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step toward healing and empowerment. Resilience: The image of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. It continues to shine and endure, regardless of the pains and challenges of the past. Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, sums up the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, taking control over her destiny. Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about overcoming pain, embracing change, and getting stronger in the process. Iolanda's 'Grito' (Scream) is a powerful anthem of perseverance, self-discovery and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope.
