Canção Do Mar
Amalia Rodrigues · Other Songs - Amalia Rodrigues
Fui bailar no meu batel além do mar cruel
E o mar bramindo diz que eu fui roubar
A luz sem par do teu olhar tão lindo.
Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração.
Se eu bailar no meu batel, não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo.
Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração.
Se eu bailar no meu batel, não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo.
Canção Do Mar
Amalia Rodrigues' 'Canção Do Mar' stands as a quintessential example of fado, the traditional Portuguese folk music characterized by its melancholic melodies and poetic lyrics. Recorded during her prolific career in the mid-20th century, the track exemplifies the genre's signature emotional depth and vocal technique. As one of the most celebrated fado singers of her era, Rodrigues brought a unique blend of classical training and street performance authenticity to her recordings. This particular composition highlights her mastery of the form, capturing the essence of Lisbon's coastal life and the universal themes of longing and fate that define the genre. Her discography from this period remains a cornerstone for understanding the evolution of fado music and its enduring global influence.
