LYRICS (FR)
[Intro]
Evora, Evora
Evora, Evora
Evora, Evora
Evora, Evora
[Couplet 1]
Les effluves de rhum dans ta voix, me font tourner la tête
Tu me fais danser du bout des doigts, comme tes cigarettes
Immobile, comme à ton habitude, mais es-tu devenue muette ?
Ou est-ce à cause des kilomètres, que tu ne me réponds plus...
[Refrain]
Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ?
Evora, Evora, après tant d'années
Evora, Evora, une de perdue, c'est ça ?
Evora, Evora, je te retrouverai, c'est sûr...
[Couplet 2]
Souviens-toi de la première fois, où nos regards s'étaient croisés
Même que ton oeil disait merde à l'autre, surtout à moi
Mais pourquoi moi, alors que les autres te trouvaient bien trop laide
Peut-être que moi je suis trop bête, mais je sais t'écouter
[Refrain]
Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ?
Evora, Evora, après tant d'années
Evora, Evora, une de perdue, c'est ça ?
Evora, Evora, je te retrouverai, c'est sûr...
[Couplet 3]
Ave Cesaria, chapeau pour la route à pieds
Nue est, et nue était, Diva aux pieds nus, restera
Et à vie Cesaria, et à la mort aussi
Obrigado, tu embrigadas des millions de soldats dans ta patrie
Donc garde à vous Cesaria, tu nous as tous quand même bien eus
Ah tout le monde te croyait disparue, mais tu es revenue
Sacrée Cesaria, quelle belle leçon d'humilité
Malgré toutes ces bouteilles de rhum, tous les chemins mènent à la dignité
[Refrain]
Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ?
Evora, Evora, après tant d'années
Evora, Evora, une de perdue, c'est ça ?
Evora, Evora, je te retrouverai, c'est sûr...
[Chants]
Oh Sodade... Sodade di nha Cesaria...

Stromae is an exceptional artist but what does Kanye have to do with this? You have to discredit his name in order to praise Stromae? As much as an asshole Kanye is personally, as an producer and rapper he has made multiple works of art. His album MBDTF remain one of the highest rated album of all time. For a lot of people out there, including me, his music invokes emotion. He is talented. Perhaps Kanye is just not your cup of tea. Is it not possible to enjoy both artists?

To all: this is a tribute to Cesaria Evora, a VERY talented Capo Verde singer, who was only recognized/ discovered when she was about 47 years of age. "Sodad", her perhaps most famous single is referred to in this song, as well as the fact that she often performed barefooted (read the captions closely).

Watching this physically hurts me. I listen to this and I dance alone in my room, singing along and clapping. I wish I had a family like this. I want to see children run down the halls. Aunts and uncles, grandfathers and grandmothers. It hurts knowing the moment the song is over I am alone again. I hope to start a strong family someday.

[@elenapicin6921]

[@aptomedia4731]

I understand that man, just find someone who loves you for you. Marry them (if you want) and have children, start that family you didn't have. Be that for your children, love them like you wish your family was like. Have them be the same for their children, etc. Then you'll see the great family that's close together that you helped make with your S/O yourself. :)

Cesaria Evora was an absolute legend!!Is this Evora's real family? If not Stromae did an excellent job in capturing Capo Verde culture. He made this video look authentically Cabo Verdean, the multiracial families, the Portuguese interior architecture, the West African flavour. It's so nostalgic!!!!

This is not cesaria’s family but stromae tried to mimic their culture (you can see him sing on the scene)

[@Samhalta]

I think the video was shot in Ghent and the people seem to me like multiracial Belgian or French families. Stromae himself is half-Belgian, half-Rwandese :)

+Paulo Zhan This also is 'cause not everyone understands what the song is about, and know Cesaria Evora. So the lyrics doesn't impact the mind of the listeners.

[@remusteahan3521]

The handing down of the camera through the ages, from an old man who doesn't know how to work the camera, to that of a young child in their mothers arms is really nice symbolisation as to how family works. Little traits and things that were once intristically one person spread throughout the years, quirks, talents, interests and things that these people love, in this instance dance is passed down through the generations and although they're all looking at the same thing it's all from entirely different perspectives and honestly it's amazing to see

Stromae perfectly captured the multicultural family, as somebody who comes from one. Our functions went a lot like this; I was one of those children who used to run through my family's home during parties, barefoot and wild haired in my prettiest pink dress that my mother saved for the occasion. I later became one of those awkward teenagers who wanted to pretend that they were "above" everybody else at that party and sat around the table only to be eventually pulled in for a dance by my mother. Now I'm a 21 year old, about to be 22, taking care of the kids sometimes and helping in the kitchen when I can and dancing however I like, because I know at these events we're at our safest. Our house is an amalgamation of sounds, colors, languages, and cultures, and this video perfectly captures that same household. Thank you, Stromae, for bringing out lives to the screen. You're an artist who will be remembered!

[@Jenny-it9iz]

[@donaldkizer4109]

I have to say, I love the fact that Stromae makes himself more of an extra in some of his videos - this one, Ta Fete, and others - instead of the star. You hear his voice and see him slightly throughout but the focus is on the atmosphere. Music is not always about the artist, it's sometimes about the people listening to it. Ok, is it weird to say he's a genius?

[@bitchslapthesun]

No trust me Stromae is a freakin' genius

Fun Fact: Stormae(Paul Van Haver) is occasionally speaking Portuguese, the official language of Cape Verde (where this is being recorded) and where Césaria Évora was born (Note she was born Portuguese but Cape Verde (former Portuguese colony) became independent in 1975 after the Portuguese carnation revolution in 74'). This song can be interpreted as an Ode to Césaria Évora probably the greatest artist of Cape Verde.

For those who don't know, this is a tribute to Cesária Évora, a singer of "morna" ( a cape verdean music genre, wich is considered the national music of Cape Verde ). Cesária Évora passed away in 2011. "Sodade" or "Saudade" in portuguese means "missing a thing", is a deep emotional state for an absence of someone/something that One person loves. Hope, for those who didn't know, I have helped them figuring out a bit of the meaning of this Song. Cabo Verde! Portugal^^ Obrigado Stromae!!

As someone from the PALOP (Communitie of Countries that speak Portuguese Language), I appreciate even more this song, and it is really touching that this women reached every single corner of the world, and not only Cape Verd, Portugal, Angola... Somewhere in the video I hear "Obrigado" that means Thank you in portuguese... and thats really nice! Congrats Stromae!

[@benjamin_fwn]

This reminds me so much back in 2007 when I was seven years old, living in my grandparent's house, and in december, the whole family get reunited, cousins, uncles, aunties, mothers, fathers, brothers, everyone celebrating the last month of the year with music and a lot of food, my little doggie Lupe running all around the house because she loved people so much, the fireworks on the sky and the neighbours waving their hands from across the streets as a way of salute but also as a goodbye to the year that it's ending, everything about this video makes me feel like a kid again in my far away country, my city, my people.

[@7575tavin]

for who's wondering the meaning of "oh sodade, sadadi di nha cesaria", it's "oh longing, longing for my Cesaria". "saudade" in portuguese is a name for the specific feeling of missing a loved one. As she was from Cape Verde, she spoke a dialect that mixed portuguese with the one from her african ancestors. Peace from Brazil!

[@MirocaParis]

Obrigado - let's say it even better: She was Cabo Verdean and spoke Kriol - and Sodad is a Kriol word too. The islands were under colonial Portuguese rule still when she grew up, we're all still forced to speak Portuguese as official language, but all her music is in Kriol ;) Thank you for sharing this, and let's continue to share her name, music and Cabo Verdean culture, Lusophone and Atlantic connections!

La phrase qui tue

[@elizabethnicole7430]

Cesaria was from Cabo Verde, a country in Africa where a genre of music was created Capeverdean, Cesaria Evora was a great influence for this genre. Actually a song of her is the final chorus "Sodade ", Stromae has taken inspiration from capeverdean, he admired her deeply, and actually met her in her death bed. Every verse talks about little things she used to do, like how she liked to be barefoot or consume cigarettes and rum on stage ( Stromae drinks rum on stage every time he sings Ave Cesaría). “Ave Cesaria” references how the Roman dictator Caesar was greeted with “Ave Caesar” and a tip of the chapeau. Cesaria Evora, after having achieved for African music what Caesar has for Rome, most certainly deserves a greeting like that. The video of the song is inspired by a family party in Cabo Verde and is done in one take, it also hides a little glance to Stromae's family, you can see a biracial couple representing his parents and himself as a baby at 2:13 and 5:11, his father was Rwandan and his mother is Flemish.

This song referes to Cesária Évora (The Barefoot Diva), Capeverdeab, born in São Vicente, Cabo Verde (Cape Verde Islands) . Stromae made this song to show people who doesn´t know her that she was/is a remarkable singer that made happy a lot of people around the world with her musics. Cesária Évora - Sodad is her "masterpiece song/well known one) that almost everyone in the world know (even don´t knowing who is singing they have listened at least once in their life). Cape Verde/Cabo Verde is an archipelago were we breath music and that has many talented musicians like Cesária Évora,Mayra Andrade, Lura, Nelson Freitas, Tito Paris, etc . Even the Greeks put this song (Cesária Évora - Sodad) to their manifestation day that happened a month ago if im not wrong in Athens. it´s a song that says i love my country, i love my people, my culture and the island i was born(refering to Cape Verde), a melodical and beautiful song. listen ---- Cesária Évora - Sodad.

Ou est-ce à cause des kilomètres, que tu ne me réponds plus... [Refrain] Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ? Evora, Evora, après tant d'années Evora, Evora, une de perdue, c'est ça ? Evora, Evora, je te retrouverai, c'est sûr... [Couplet 2] Souviens-toi de la première fois, où nos regards s'étaient croisés Même que ton oeil disait merde à l'autre, surtout à moi Mais pourquoi moi, alors que les autres te trouvaient bien trop laide Peut-être que moi je suis trop bête, mais je sais t'écouter [Refrain] Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ? Evora, Evora, après tant d'années Evora, Evora, une de perdue, c'est ça ? Evora, Evora, je te retrouverai, c'est sûr... [Couplet 3] Ave Cesaria, chapeau pour la route à pieds Nue est, et nue était, Diva aux pieds nus, restera Et à vie Cesaria, et à la mort aussi Obrigado, tu embrigadas des millions de soldats dans ta patrie Donc garde à vous Cesaria, tu nous as tous quand même bien eus Ah tout le monde te croyait disparue, mais tu es revenue Sacrée Cesaria, quelle belle leçon d'humilité Malgré toutes ces bouteilles de rhum, tous les chemins mènent à la dignité [Refrain] Evora, Evora, tu ne m'aimes plus ou quoi ?

[@andregulick3925]

the first Stromae song I heard, I just love the way he combines all those elements of the cavaquinho and accordion to create such a languid sound, it's beautiful. Just like the video, it seems chaotic but it's the simplicity of how music can make people want to dance and express their emotions. Not to mention the storytelling in the song, almost an afterthought after all those other elements but just like the rest of Stromae's music, the message and underlying meaning are always fascinating
