[MrOdinony]

[Migueloliveirinha]

R U an exchange student in Portugal or Portuguese-descendant?

[Migueloliveirinha]

[Migueloliveirinha]

[Migueloliveirinha]

[Gaiden96]

[marianareiner]

Amazing.

[rogerfigas]

[laura26n]

Parabens tens uma linda voz!!

[hegzor]

hey! im portuguese and I do love you! I regret that last year i decided to stay at queer festival to see an terrible hardcore movie while i could be watching you live... =S come back

[flaviofranciulli]

Muito obrigado !!!!

[ricky141516]

you sing very well portuguese :D

NAICEEEEE :D

[Favas1996]

fucking awesome man, come to portugal, man

[alex221166]

I feel honoured to have listened to this, as a portuguese. Thank you.

[priscilagomes24]

hi!

im portuguese and i really like how you interpreted this awesome music

this music is actually kind of old and i dont think you captivate many young people with that song... probably you should sing something from Xutos e Pontapés.. Zeca Afonso was a hero from the last generation. Xutos e pontapes are also from last generation, but a lot of young people still listen to them. theyre like the fathers os portuguese rock... you could choose songs like Contentores, Homem do leme... :)

[TAPME]

@priscilagomes24

Pelos vistos não conheces, ou não prestaste muita atenção à obra do Zeca.

Esta é bastante actual, mesmo tendo sido escritas há várias decadas, ouve a mensagem contida nas canções, e vais saber muito daquilo que a vida te poderá presentear.

O problema é que a malta nova só quer músicas comercias, lixo para os ouvidos...

Lol não penses que foi algum velho aziado quem escreveu este comentário, tenho 24 anos, aprecio boa música, e também gosto muito de Xutos :)

[untl01]

@TAPME estive a ver na wikipedia e aparentemente a música é de 1969, portanto não contemporânea dos Xutos. Pela letra bem me parecia ser pré 25 de Abril :)

[rafaxavs]

Well, I'm not portuguese, but Brazilian. And now I know what you feel when you listen to our English xD jk jk Good performance ^^

[nandowainwright]

you have to come to brazil

[estreloka]

oh my god..

i'm portuguese and i think you are the great voice i've ever heard.

this version gives me creeps.. you're awesome no words

keep up

[chuck894]

Come to portugal.

[chuck894]

Nice Job jay

[chuck894]

omg, so awesome. You rock man

[Andrerotis]

Muito bom! Muito bom!

[thatsme753]

amazing amigo! Greetings from Greece

[realman4u2]

Great job, Jay. I just wonder how can there be a single portuguese speaker who does not appreciate your work... haven't had time yet to watch your 'Shortbus', planning on doing so soon. Take care ;)

[wentz047]

Jay, you seem to have a pretty good taste in Portuguese-language music:) I love how you sing in other languages. Your voice just adds to the beauty. Please keep singing in other languages. I'm American but I love your work in any language.

[ansdjansk]

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

[CCarmen]

AY JAY! *sighs*

[Argamis]

hm... after hearing you, i do can feel that you have a wierd accent meaning you were not raised in portugal for many years!

still, you chose one of the greatest heroes/symbols of portuguese history to reffer your love for our country!

you do not need to sing Fado to be close to Portugal!

Great choice, great song, great cover!

indeed you have my thanks and my congratulations.

Keep going.

Best Regards from Portugal.

[mysticmagic4760]

Beautiful song,Jay! You have such a wonderful voice!

[FemmePhobia]

Oh, this is great!

Zeca Afonso is a portuguese hero, you know ;)

HuGGG*

[luisvsilva]

Muito bom.!

Quite rare seeing anglos singing in Portuguese.

Thanks for the tribute to Zeca one of the greatest Portuguese heros! His message is timeless.

Big Hug.

[Mihaelamdp]

"for all the portuguese speakers who refuse to love me" - why do say this?? we love you ;)

Abraço ;D

OH! your accents is perfect :)

[ganzasnofx]

The lyrics are from Reinaldo Ferreira, not José Afonso

[KitokoMinh]

That was fabulous. I dont kow Portuguese, but its a beautiful song.

[jmikemiller]

You're really talented, also a polyglot singer!

That's a really sentimental song ( a music style we call 'Fado') and you were awesome on singing and playin' it, also portuguese is not an easy language talk or sing, ask Nelly Furtado :D

[dlcrt]

Very impressive man. Respect from Brazil.

[JORGEFC15]

Oh, my God! In portuguese?!

I´m portuguese and I love all your songs!

[sarokas12]

Very good!

[petefafe]

In portuguese??

I think I'm in love with this guy!!

[orochiharu]

^^

[emanhotto]

oh wow

[NUBF]

When you come to sweden I'll FORCE you to sing a swedish song. Not sure which one yet but I'll think of something.... Muahahah!

[42Teo]

Zeca Afonso is one of my heroes. (Joan Manuel Serrat is the other). Zeca foi um magnífico compositor. Espetacular.

[letseatsupper]

OMG! You speak portuguese. You really are something else, Mr Brannan! xxx

[letseatsupper]

MEU DEUS! tu falas português! és um deus, meu querido!

[ClaudioHolmgren]

Tu voz es bellísima, tu portugués buenísimo y tú estás como quieres...Congratulations!

[cucaracha6]

Beautifull. are you a fan of zeca? Do ya know what he's talking about in this song? TOday, is a great day. you should come to portugal on the 25th of april and understand how can a man bring a hole nation in his mouth.

[efepedro]

great accent! (and the feeling's all there too)

nelly furtado wouldn't top that lol

[dylan0dylanthomas]

Que maravilha!

[electromickey]

Vem do outro lado do mar....

You too...Come from the other side of the sea ...

You can learn about "saudade"...

Congratulations , thanks

[pedronevescorreia]

WOW That's amazing! I can't believe you're singing Zeca Afonso with such a perfect european portuguese accent. Your voice blends perfectly with the portuguese soul. You're truly gifted. Please, come visit us in Lisboa ;)

[absALISON]

[jeffe87]

It's like listening to an angel!

[iwc2ufan]

Fala português? Very cool Jay. I'd love to hear more from you in Portuguese, esp if you know something Brazilian. There is some gorgeous Brazilian folk music you'd do well I bet.

[semendes]

why you said portuguese people refuse like you??

and tell me.. where do you learn to speak portuguese.. do you know that this music is from a very very very emblematic portuguese singer.. from our ditaturial times.. do you know it...??

[murtosafan]

Hey jay, i found you yesterday because of this song.

I am Portuguese, and a huge fan of Zeca Afonso work, and I feel really proud to see such a good cover done by a foreign singer.

Zeca Afonso is a legend and a singer with a huge historical importance for our country.

THANK YOU!ZECA AFONSO DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED.

[flaviohnb]

I like your voice! I am from Brazil and would like to hear you sing a song of Brazil, as a samba or bossa nova or a song in Portuguese of Brazil. Congratulations on your talent!

[iloveRorkMuzic]

xoxo

[Melancholio74]

Jay - you are such a language talent! German, french, italian, portuguese etc. I like the song very much - even though I dont understand a word.. hehehe. The style called Fado, right? The tradional music style in Portugal? Totally beautiful! Thanks for all your brilliant stuff. M.

[ruitsbarbosa]

Nope, this is not Fado. This is portuguese popular music. If you want to know what Fado is, try searching here on YouTube for "Gente da Minha Terra - Mariza". :)

[UncleBym]

You continue to amaze me! I really love your music...the world needs people like you and I, for one, wish to Thank You for being here! Be well!

[ruitsbarbosa]

I don't refuse to love you... At all! Indeed, I try not to! :)

[lucped]

i like it =]

i'm brazilian and i hope you sing more musics from here... but more popular because i've never heard about that one

[ruitsbarbosa]

That's portuguese music, that's why you never heard it :P

[vetinhu]

pelo jeito sua passagem ao brasil rendeu boas coisas!

[djahren]

This was soo soo soo sooo beautiful! Keep up the wonderful work :)

[oolhoo]

if I say I still refuse to love you, will you sing more songs in portuguese? I'd like that ;)

[spydog97]

[portugasque]

I wasn't aware we particularly refused to love you I certainly don't and I have your autograph to prove it even if I had to travel to London to see you live. Brilliant song, brilliantly interpreted in perfect Portuguese. Drop by Lisbon or Rio one of these days, OK?

[redxxroses]

You were a beautiful song, does not change for them but for you

[sheldy29]

[boppiecat]

I dont understand the words but I can hear you singing from your soul. Beautiful, Jay. And beautiful Jay.

[thalyfb]

how can ANYONE refuse to love you?

you should listen and try to play the songs of a really good brazilian band called "Los Hermanos". that would be great!

you're amazing and we (brazilians) love you very much!

[editorgay]

Ever and always - Superb!

[QuietEnvoy]

From "Portugal" to Jay Brannan.

Hi there, thanks for playing this very beautiful Portuguese song. Keep working your Portuguese because I'm hoping to listening more Portuguese songs played or created by you.

Obrigado.

[Renfiles90]

I think the title is "Sad-eyed Girl." Not sure, but I loved it even if I couldn't understand it.

[JoaoVale18]

Yes, it is :p

[pmartins]

Menina means girl, miss. It's a great song

[Kignak25]

That's so awesome!
