Eu estou acordo com você Spooky, Europa sta mas habituà ao português da portugal que o brasileiro…você pode realizar, desde que por exemplo eu sou americano, e eu aprendo os portuguese de Brasil principalmente, e um pouco é-me feito difícil esse de portugal, principalmente na momento da ouvir esse, provavelmente porque o brasileiro é “latinizado” um pouco (btw, o português também é a base de minha língua maternal)…Y sucede también en el caso del espanjol, los Europeos están habituados mas al Espanjol de Espanja que al de los latinos…

About the song, i think that she did a great job, a little bit slavic pronunciation of letter “R”, but insignificant…I really impressed of her ability of languagues

Cya!

Sim dano, mas na europa fala-se portugues de portugal.
Quase como o ingles britanico e americano, o britanico tem uma diccao pura mas ‘e o ingles americano que estamos habituados a ouvir. O mesmo se passa com o brasil. ‘E o brasileiro que as pessoas conhecem mas a pronuncia portuguese torna-se mais interessante.

Saudade is a Galician and Portuguese word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return. *Source: Saudade - Wikipedia Fado (translated as destiny or fate) is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, Fado is known to be characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. However, in reality Fado is 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 (that has no match in English but it could be understood as nostalgia felt while missing someone), a word describing a sentiment. Another similar English translation can be to pine for something or someone. *Source: Fado - Wikipedia So, if we insist on translating the line A saudade está no meu fado, instead of Saudade is in my fado we can say Nostalgia is my fate
