[BiGGMiCC]

@butchchase I kno its Brazilian, but what in Brazilian is she sayin?!

[butchchase]

@BiGGMiCC hehe...i expected this reply...wish i had known better so as to be of help here...hey check out "Richard Bona" of Pat Metheny fame...in the former's solo albums , he sings beautiful beautiful African (probably Uganda, Kenya, etal) lyrics...sometimes for me at least, it just takes the melody of the song to take me to its meaning, peace

[Marzziooo]

Saudade. . .

[augusto100000]

Do caralho cara,a mina canta e toca demais,como eu queria ir no show dela

[CountLollo]

She's got class, talent, great technical bass skills, a wonderful smooth voice AND she's beautiful, too. So perfect it's almost embarassing.

[TheBarbaragama]

Gente! Parece uma brasileira cantando! #Choquei agora

[luizcadu]

Rough translation: Ponta de Areia ('Sand Edge') Last stop Of the Bahia-Minas Natural road That linked Minas (Minas Gerais, a Brazilian State) To the harbor, to the sea An order was issued To pull out the railway tracks. Old locomotive engineer With his cap Remembers the cheerful people with welcome greetings. Smoky Mary (Brazilian way to refer to old trains) No longer sings to girls, flowers, windows and backyards. In the empty square A cry, a moan Forgotten houses Widows at the front door.

@luizcadu thank you for the translation!

[luizcadu]

@nattynativekid17 You're welcome!

[Ayrkah]

Beautiful song! I love her!

[prodigyofpeace1983]

Better than the original. She's one of my favorite new jazz artists. I would love to see her and Hiromi Uehara do an album together : )

[gust3000]

Não existe competição entre artistas.

Cada um com sua alma, coração, voz e estilo.

[bettyboop143ful]

my daughter loves this song n she is only 5 months old... she goes to sleep on this song....

[KTBEverlasting]

@bettyboop143ful She has good taste. Heck, excellent taste compared to others.

[butchchase]

@bettyboop143ful maybe you can also allow her to listen to wayne shorter and milton nascimento's version - they sound like they're in a playground.

[KingRam33]

A beautiful rendition by a beautiful woman.

[tigga2425]

Absolutely beautiful

[mpjproducer]

Esperanza gives us a lovely rendition of a beautiful song. I first became aware of this song many years ago when EWF covered it. I'm sure Milton Nascimento raves about both versions

[azadelta07]

ninguém iguala o grande milton mas é uma boa versão.

[MadRomulo]

Maravilhosa....

Sou Baixista e adimiro essa moça!!!

[NegraBendita]

Bem obrigada!

[mamoodh]
