I have first heard this same fado in the Michael Winterbottom film The Claim (2000). The singer is Milla Jovovich - she's not really known for her singing, but I think she sings it quite well.
Obrigado pelo esclarecimento, provavelmente seriam da mesma familia já que o pediatra tambem cantava o fado e pertencia academia de Coimbra.
Quanto a ser defensor dos oprimidos do Salazar, julgo que as pessoas ao não concordarem com certas atitudes do antigo regime não fazia delas um anti Salazarista. Então o que seria se estas pessoas vivessem nesta estranha democracia que vivemos
as an amateur of beautiful melodies i like to whistle to, i find this song extremely beautiful, but almost as difficult to whistle to, haha, quite strange & frustrating!
wow amazing, my grandfather is a 1920s portuguese man, he left portugal when he was 25 or 28 ... and he immigrated to brazil towards the end of WWII... amazing to see where he came from...
a real gem. it reminds me of the line by bob dylan "crying like a fire in the sun" but this is crying like a fire in the moonlight of coimbra. dzieki!
Beautiful. A friend of mine shared this song with me a while ago (sang by Antonio Menano) and it immediately became one of my favorites. This rendition is as beautiful, and the background with the old pictures is perfect.
Jerzy, This fado is so haunting, passionate and exquisite! I am amazed at what I hear on your channel, you always manage to present the most sensuous music from every culture. Thank you.
I liked it very much. Thank you for loving Portugal so much! As you know, this is Fado de Coimbra, the old city of students. The singer is Doctor Paradela de Oliveira. This Fado is diferent from the Lisbon one, but is also very sentimental. Only men used to sing Coimbra's Fado, usually university students singing their love to their beautiful lovers.
See you in Portugal soon!... Fados, Nazaré, Coimbra, Lisboa, bacalhau, sardinhas...
It's wonderful to compare this vintage fado recording to present-day interpretations, leading to the conclusion that fado has been preserved surprisingly pure and authentic in modern Portugal. As for this particular renditio, it is spine-tingling in its haunting intensity.

Actually this Fado is titled Aquela moça da aldeia.
Lyrics:
Aquela moça da aldeia
Que eu conduzi ao altar
Há-de trazer-me à ideia
Desejos de eu ir rezar
Amei-te só de me olhares
O coração adivinha
Deus fez as almas aos pares
E da tua vida minha.

Agora com 52 anos de idade não posso deixar de recordar com saudade a voz maravilhosa do Dr Paradela de Oliveira que em criança foi o meu pediatra.
Bem Haja Dr Paradela!

Este José Paradela de Oliveira não era pediatra :D
Foi juiz de direito e acérrimo defensor dos oprimidos pelo regime de salazar...
Contudo, também havia um Paradela de Oliveira pediatra.

Faz sempre bem recordar a voz do Paradela de Oliveira, cantor que integrou a chamada "Geração d'Oiro" em Coimbra nos anos 30.

Thank you for your truly (!) cheerful laugh.
Sounds naturally and brought some special air here.
I am transferring part of your explanation (for which I am grateful) to the comment about video.
So many Portugueses were watching this clip, commented and noone ventured until you...(a big smile !).
