8 Portuguese songs that you should listen


Hello dear readers,
As you all know I loooooove music and I'm always trying to listen to different genres and to songs with different languages. This time I wanted to suggest you something different. Therefore, I decided to list eight Portuguese songs that I highly recommend you to listen to. This is a good way for you to get to know a little bit more about Portuguese music. I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do!

ÁTOA - Já Não

ÁTOA is a 4 member group. The band is composed by Guilherme Alface, Joao Direitinho, Rodrigo Liaca and Mario Monginho. The group name ÁTOA roughly translated means something that happened without commitment/being planned.

 


 

Chorus:
You came back and tried to change me
but no
that's not my intention
and if it's to play around
No longer
I'm no longer on your hand
No longer (x2)
I'm no longer on your hand

You have me no longer on your hand
You think it's that easy to find a solution, no
I don't want to give you much more time
You think that the past had been erased by the wind, well no
Our love died by old age of itself
I was tired, but I never told you
For you, I was rounding and rounding
but, for that much rounds I've did, you never gave bravery to it
Don't understand me wrong
Maybe I was not "the one"
My ideal
is to never lie to you when I say that you were special
Don't talk to me anymore
(No longer)
I don't want nothing more, with you
Don't tell me more about that "love conversations" thinking about a "new beginning"

Chorus

Shh stop the talk
I want a peaceful life, bye and a forehead kiss
It has not been this time
I can't handle much jokes, stop with it
You said that it would be forever
You believed in a future about only us
With me, it was so different
And no, after this, we won’t talk anymore
Something changed on my feeling
I can't even look at your face
And there's no force to make us be together, when it's more powerful all that separate us
And I'm so tired of it, I don't want to live more like this
I made my plans and I plan much better for me
And I tell you this
It's the end of the episode, our series is ending here

Chorus

Bridge (x2):
If you want to change me to satisfy you, I tell you
No
When you come back, I won’t be here
No
No longer

Paulo Sousa – Eu Não Vou

Paulo Sousa is a singer and youtuber. He participated in the sixth season of the Portuguese version of Idols.


I can't anymore 
I don't even know if I want more
I'm not in myself either
And I feel an end is coming
I know it doesn't hurt anymore
Because what has already been, it’s gone

Chorus:
I'm not going to say what I feel
If I say I lie
I don't even know how I am
I'm not going to say what I feel
If you expect me to fall, to run away
I will not
No (x4)

Back to back
For who isn't capable
I'm hostage
I know it doesn't hurt anymore
Because what has already been, it’s gone

Chorus

Bridge:
And sometimes it's in danger
That I find a shelter spot
Trying to be who I'm not
I will not

Chorus

Fernando Daniel – Espera
Fernando Daniel was the winner of The Voice in 2016. In his audition, he covered "When We Were Young" and it became instantly viral on social media. "Espera" is his first single and it's incredible!



I already know who I am
And what I did was for my own good
I am, what I wasn't, and I will be the tomorrow for the two of us

Chorus:
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I'll be
Better for you
Every time you leave
I can feel the end
I don't want to
Stay here

You, owner of yourself
You leave me like this
Not knowing what to do
You are what I want more
If you go, I’ll wait
Life without you
Has no flavour

Chorus

I can't lose you
I just can't lose you

Chorus

Where are you going?
Wait for me

Diogo Piçarra - Tu E Eu
In 2012, Diogo Piçarra won the fifth season of Pop Idol. Later, he released his originals songs on Youtube. I've got to admit that he has so many good songs and I love his voice. In 2015, he released "Tu e Eu" which is my favourite song from him and probably one of my Portuguese favourite songs.



 

If love leaves us
The world collapses
And time changes us
I'll always be here
The flame goes out
And age doesn't forgive us
When you don't hear me sing
I won't leave here

Chorus:
If you think of me
How I think of you
Then we have everything
To be able to go back to the dream again
If you say yes
I know where to go
What are we waiting for to go back to being just you and me?

If the shine wears off
And one days is too much to give
And our gazes don't meet
I'll stay around here
But love has already left us
And the world collapsed
But time hasn’t changed
What you were for me

Chorus

Just you and me (x3)

Later we show
Nothing is made
Without first having
Failed in trying

Chorus

Just you and me (x3)

David Carreira ft Ana Free – In Love

David Carreira comes from an artistic family. His father and older brother are also popular and successful singers in Portugal. In this song, David collaborates with Ana Free, another Portuguese artists.  

 



You wanted to get away from the word “relationship”
In this move, the heart was left out
Friends without commitment
And everyone knew this

I did not want to remember the sensation
The forms of your body etched in my hand
It was without speaking in love, in love, in love, in love

Chorus: 
But out of nowhere, a smile, a tear
Everything reminds me of you
What do I do
To the picture in my room
Because I'm in love, in love, in love, in love, in love
  
You wanted to hide behind an illusion.
Your body glued to mine without deprivation
I gave you the warning, friends without commitment (baby)

You promised that it was only once, I remember well
But I've tried your kiss and now I'm hostage
It was without speaking in love, in love, in love, in love

Chorus

Like a loose song that I wrote
Everything takes me to you
It seems that it turned around
And now, I fell

Chorus

In my dream it was bad, you would be Beyoncé
To see you connected to the TV again
In this move, the heart was left out
I did not want to wake up in the middle of this sensation

 Agir - Tempo É Dinheiro 

Agir started his musical career at the age of 12. In 2015, his second album was released and was hit in Portugal. Tempo E Dinheiro is one of the successful songs from that album.

 

 

Chorus (x2):
If time is money, I'm going to spend it with you
Cause time is all I have to give you
I think the whole world agrees with me
I don't want to disappoint you!

I don't have a penny
But I have love in my heart
And if I asked for your hand
It's going to be with a paperboard's ring
On a paperboard church
The honeymoon on the seawall
And I won't take you on an airplane
But I'm going to give a million worth kiss
Cause I know, life is though and I won't deny it!
But I know, if we don't have it we have to make it happen!
Cause I know the sun on the sky won't stop shinning
And the moon is for those who knows how to dream!


Chorus (x2)

When the time comes and I can't take you an expensive gift
Or a million flowers for me to steal
And if I can't take you far away from the sea
It's on a garden's bench we will be
Cause I know, life is though and I won't deny it!
But I know, if we don't have it we have to make it happen!
Cause I know the sun on the sky won't stop shinning
And the moon is for those who knows how to dream!


Chorus (x2)

D.A.M.A - Às Vezes

D.A.M.A is a three-member group created officially in 2006. It is composed by Francisco Pereira, Miguel Coimbra and Miguel Cristovinho. 


Chorus (x2)
Sometimes I don't know what you want and I say "Okay"
Sometimes I don't know what I do and you "All Right"
Sometimes you do it on purpose, I know
One time are not times and I don't tell nobody

I know that sometimes I'm not by your side (Ok)
And I don't call you 'cause I'm busy (All Right)
You don't deserve that I leave you like that (I know)
Sorry for not being that prince charming
When I don't answer, don't know why you hide that you know
That I'm yours, but you want a tight romance
Sometimes it's a hard time, other times I get crazy and you tell
You don't have a reason to feel betrayed
I know that you tell me things that you don't tell anyone else
And we ask the time what time the time has
Hours go by, days, you cry, I know that's everything wrong, you tell
Don't go away, stay, a bit more
I always stay up close the more turns you take
You know, that I don't cling, then you come with whys
You imagine those stories, like "Once upon a time"
Baby, I'm the blank paper from the romances that you read

Chorus (x2)

I don't tell nobody, that you want and prefer me
To the other that you have, I know
That is difficult when the mood is friendly
To control that addiction of yours that you have for me since the beginning, Okay
I want and I do so and you want a commitment
I'm more of impromptu and you only want to stay alright
And you get crazy with me because you don't have the sense of danger
But I don't know if I can give you everything that I've got
You know that I want you although being sometimes
I try to be sincere, just that, you don't understand me
It's not my fault, but I don't feel what you fell
Today you stay here at home, one time are not always

Chorus (x2)

 (ooowh, I don't tell nobody)
 (I know)

Come over, I won't tell nobody
Blush, I won't tell nobody
Stay, I won't tell nobody
You can do whatever you want, that I won't tell nobody

Chorus (x2)
