:wPOR: PORTUGUESE ENTRY :wPOR:

 

 

At every TISC edition I try, more than bringing some popular winning stuff, to bring what I think is the best (or among the best) of different musical genres of portuguese music in hope at least some of you will like it and start listening to some portuguese music.

 

After bringing fado, metal, music composers and emblematic portuguese musics, this year I was planning on showing some music from the early 80's, the post-dictatorship era, but then changed my mind and finally decided for something more traditional.

 

Did you know that Portuguese is not the only official language in Portugal? In the north of my country, in a small area inland closed to Spain, there is another spoken language called Mirandês

 

It's a very old language, from the middle ages, and looks kind of as a mix of spanish with portuguese.

 

Besides the language itself, the region has lots of specific traditions and their music is also different, and therefore this year's TISC entry of Portugal will be a traditional song in Mirandês!

The Tree

In the garden of my house is the tree
That sings both on the leaves and on the wind,
That knows all that I like and that I feel,
That knows the song that through time I sing.
 
In the garden of my house is the tree
That tells me to be proud as he is,
That tells me to forever keep my head up,
Be it rain, be it sunshine, be it clouds: be like him!
 
The tree is proudly rising in my garden,
Full of harvest and of the heavy night,
Enemies have tried to bring it down
And watch it kneeling, bereft of might.
The tree is proudly rising in my garden,
Bedazed by the sun and the heavy light,
This tree belongs to the holy motherland,
And it will always be rooted in the ground.
 
In the garden of my house is the tree,
Standing guard, for better and for worse,
I feel its wood in my arms and I keep kissing it
And the tree suddenly changes: it is me!
 
The tree is proudly rising in my garden,
Full of harvest and of the heavy night,
Enemies have tried to bring it down
And watch it kneeling, bereft of might.
The tree is proudly rising in my garden,
Bedazed by the sun and the heavy light,
This tree belongs to the holy motherland,
And it will always be rooted in the ground.

I've asked for help in coming up with a decent-looking table :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
