Fado

    form of music characterized
    by lyrics, often about the sea
    or the life of the poor.
    However, although the origins
    are difficult to trace, today
    fado is regarded, by many, as
    simply a form of song which
    can be about anything, but
    must follow a certain
    structure.
•   The music is usually linked to
    the Portuguese word saudade
    which symbolizes the feeling
    of loss.

Mariza
    “Ó Gente da Minha Terra”
    Lyrics:
    This fado is mine and yours
    a destiny that binds us
    however it might be denied
    to the strings of a guitar
    Every time one hears the cries
    of a singing guitar
    one becomes immediately lost
    with a desire to cry
    Oh people from my land
    it is now that I understand
    this sorrow I carry
    I received it from you
    And it would seem like fondness
    if I allowed myself to be lulled
    the bitterness would be greater
    my singing would be less sad
    Oh people from my land
