Grandia II - Canção do Povo

[summersault]

Ok sirs, we have a problem here, because i see 2 Zeras have passed by here, show yourselves, because i'm a fucking Geohound and i eat popes for breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AthIII]

For me, the best part comes at 2:03 when the melody turns into the original Grandia 1 theme!

[DannielSquall100]

I miss this game so much, I hope to play this again someday. I'm brazillian and I never thought this game would have portuguese themes. It's so beautiful, like the ''A Deus'' song.

[Manlyman47]

An orchestral version of this plays at the end of grandia 1, but I can't seem to find that version in any of the ost i've heard.

[strongt123]

portuges sim... Louvem! Madrugada Alma bela dança de terra ó sintam! O vendaval da coragem Transbordem! leite da terra Beijo do ceu chuva do rejubilo Uma semente peguena desejo Grande grande grande... Cultivem, um caminho novo caminho Festejem, Caeifem, um milão De espigas as espigas do destino Cantem, a nossa canção Transmitam, canção do povo Força cordial porta

[madebynewt]

I'm Brazilian, I could understand about half of the song, her Japanese accent is too thick. Its just like the Japanese trying to sing in English, you can barely understand them. Lovely song

[Justforvisit]

@madebynewt Well, but in this case I think it's intended...makes it even more special.

heh, wouldn't fit to a fantasy world when one of the main characters would sing plain portugese, a real language =P

[madebynewt]

@Justforvisit Not really...the Japanese are HORRIBLE at languages. Look at the example they use when singing with english words, you cannot understand what they are saying. Even my friend Yuki said that. Like Propeller, they say 'Pulopela' they just cannot reproduce some sounds we do normally.

[madebynewt]

@Justforvisit mind you I mean singing, Yuki spoke very good English. But she lived in the US :)

[Justforvisit]

Ahhh...haven't heard that epic song for waaay to long...especially from 1:09 when the beat sets in.....but I have to admit, the ingame version is a lot more moving, first almost all silent, a thin voice in the darkness, echoing, and then after a while all villagers singing along and building up a mighty chorus against valmar.....jeeeez.....anyone still want's to know why Grandia is called Grandia? Just listen to the IG version of Cancao do Povo and you'll know ;) This one is epic too :)

[garbalen]

As I understood it she is Portuguese and the song is Japanese. I'll come up with her name again and post it. She has a lot of great works. I stand corrected...Kaori Kawasumi

[garbalen]

As I understood it she is Portuguese and the song is Japanese. I'll come up with her name again and post it. She has a lot of great works.

[yague123]

There is something mystical about this song. Truly a masterful piece. Truly good music gives you a feeling that can only be described in the music, and the lyrics cannot decipher them. That is why music is the world's universal connection to each other.

[andreduboxe]

I am Brazilian and reading the lyrics I understood a Portuguese similar to the Pt. Was perfect, who created is Brazilian also?

[username4975]

i absolutley love this song, as a kid grandia 2 was always my favorite game and i think it will always remain my favorite.

[ckrowc]

para quen não sabe: "Louvem! madrugada alma bela dança da terra ó sintam! O vendaval da coragem Transbordem! leite da terra beijo do céu chuva do rejubilo uma semente peguena desejo grande grande grande... Cultivem, um caminho novo caminho Festejem, Ceifem, um milão de espigas as espigas do destino Cantem, a nossa canção Transmitam, canção do povo força cordial porta de esperança.."

[taturussiantechno]

this was my A-bsolute fav song as a child. thank you so much for posting it, i had the soundtrack originally, but over the years, it got misplaced. you are awesome!

[Maxtremus]

A música é boa, mas até aquelas traduções de Jaspion soam mais português do que isso....

[BlankMindTux]

LOL at japanese accent. Portuguese is my main language (Brazil) and I can't understand a single word of what she's saying. Anyway, song is as great as the game, every RPG addicted should finish it at least once.

[blackflag486]

I speak Portuguese too.. I can understand a few words, but it sounds like Portugal Portuguese or something retarded..

[Snakemast345]

@BlankMindTux I finished it twice, and working on a third, when I get a new PS2.

[tmorri603]

I loved this song. It is one of the all time best for a video game. I also loved the game. One of the best RPG's that I have played.

[J0lte0n0]

A deus is also in Portugues

[ShikibuSan]

Yes, it is.

I'm tempted to post some of my other favorites from the soundtrack, but I might get flagged and banned for it. XD

[Badassbab]

I love this song, shame I have no idea what she is saying. I do have both soundtracks. BTW if you like Grandia 2 music, listen to the original Grandia soundtrack. The ochestra songs are amazing.

[Jahan917]

Theres english lyrics for this songs, what shes speaking of only makes this song more grand, shes talking about mother earth and hope and wishes, this song is beyond epic, its so touching, you can feel it with your soul

[J0lte0n0]

(English) It is Portuguese! Dah, don't tell me that you have difficulties to understand the the girl's Japanese, plus, she is singing in religious style (maybe Gregorian?) in Japanese style. SO You didn't yet heard a Açoriano speak!?

(Sorry, my English sucks)

[ShikibuSan]

I understood you fine, and it does explain a lot of things I didn't know about the singing.

Thanks for the explanation. (:

[jacobyne]

@ShikibuSan One of the reason's of it being in portuguese is the religious theme in all the game. Portugal is a very religious country (or at least it is compared to other european countries), and we have Fatima's berth (not sure if this is the correct english translation).

Funny how times changed, BOF series used to be censored due to the religious content, but Grandia 2 did not change a thing

[J0lte0n0]

(Portugues) É português! Epá, não me digam que têm dificuldade a perceber o sotaque japonês da rapariga, aliais, ela esta a cantar num estilo religioso (gregoriano talvez?) com tendências japonesas. Então porque ainda nao ouviram um açoriano a falar!?

(apesar de ser português, escrevo mal a minha língua)

[PlayLifeX]

por acaso é grande foda perceber o k ela diz so mm com a letra da musica ao lado consegui decifrar que a musica era totalmente cantada em tuga.

[J0lte0n0]

O mesmo aconteceu comigo. E por acidente, não estava à espera de encontrar a letra em português, muito menos saber que a canção do jogo também era em português. (algum que ouvi várias vezes e joguei váras vezes o jogo).

Conclusão: fiquei completamente parvo com a minha descoberta.

[PlayLifeX]

Eu já adoro o jogo e agora sabendo que as musicas "canção do povo" e "a deus" tem letras totalmente portuguesas simplesmente tournou este jogo ainda mais especial.

[strongt123]

@J0lte0n0 bem e assin joguei este jogo varias vezes e ja tinha umas luzes na musica dava para entemder alguma coisa mas nunca pensei que a letra era mesmo em portugues isto foi uma xapada sem mao para todos nos....GRANDE

[gatlin127]

lol o it is another langage i thought my cd was messed up or sumthing

[vigotski]

It's definitely Portuguese, I know because I'm a native speaker.

[kilaude]

Ai és? Ora mostra lá as tuas habilidades então! lol

[vigotski]

Preciso mostrar-te que falo português mesmo? Ainda tens alguma dúvida de que a canção é em nossa língua?

[TheRuneScapeGuide]

Eu batota usando um tradutor :D

[MiyuFull]

I think the last commentator says, that it can´t be portuguese. Or he means that the lyrics aren´t build complete sentences. I only guessed, I understand no portuguese, either...^^°

[ShikibuSan]

Oh, it's definitely Portuguese.. or is at least BASED on Portuguese. I read that the song was changed to sound more Japanese, but the original lyrics were Portuguese.

[LeoBraven]

Really? It doesn't sound Japanese at all if that's really what they were going for lol. I still love this song, though. I can't find the soundtracks anywhere for sale or download for that matter.

*sigh* I'll have to stick to these YouTube videos.

[ShikibuSan]

Well, the Portuguese seems to be able to still understand it. Hehe.

[llSugoill]

jaja ela chega no portugues xDD

[ShikibuSan]

I don't know Portuguese, so I can't respond in your language, nor can I understand you. >>; Sorry.

[kilaude]

I've got to be honest with ya, I'm Portuguese and I had severe difficulties in understanding what the music said. She has terrible pronunciation lol.

[ShikibuSan]

Which is probably where my "They used portuguese but changed it to sound more Japanese" thing comes from. I understand where you're coming from, though. I don't know any but the lyrics and her pronunciation don't match up.

[Feli62red]

the game i love, this song is a my favority thx good aport T_T

[ShikibuSan]

No problem. This is one of my favorite games. (:

[Shoryukidd]

oh man, this brings back memories of me beating this game.

[ryudo113]

[JackSpicerChase]

[elsad]

Man I love this song. I can't find the Little Shelter mix anywhere where. ...Was it little shelter? Or was that A Deus

[ShikibuSan]

Little Shelter was the A Deus remix I think. I've got that one too. I'll try to find it.

[rakninja]

I couldn't find the song anywhere and it was quite hard since I didn't know the name in the first place. Yay for people like you who actually know such things and upload them. :D I just -love- that song!

[ShikibuSan]

Any other songs you'd like me to upload?

[EternalDementia]

I liked a lot of the songs in Grandia 2 but I don't remember most of them, at least not too well, so I can't really give you any info or names. I'll just go through the ones you've uploaded, I'm sure I'll remember them. Haven't played in years, so my memory fails me. xD

[YeyanaValentine]

YEYS!

I love you so extra much!

-faves-

[ShikibuSan]

You're welcome!
