So much loved, this song, based on a poem by Fernando Pessoa. For some reason the guitar part reminds me of a piano piece by Scarlatti if I am correct.
Há uma musica do Povo,
Nem sei dizer se é um Fado –
Que ouvindo-a há um ritmo novo
No ser que tenho guardado…
Ouvindo-a sou quem seria
Se desejar fosse ser…
É uma simples melodia
Das que se aprendem a viver…
Mas é tão consoladora
A vaga e triste canção…
Que a minha alma já não chora
Nem eu tenho coração…
Sou uma emoção estrangeira,
Um erro de sonho ido…
Canto de qualquer maneira
E acabo com um sentido!

Beautiful music, I ve discovered it for a week and I listen it all the time. I managed to write down the melody and the chords and just can t wait to play it(violin and piano).
May God help you in everything.

Yes, very emotive music.
You've made a piano+violin arrangement? I'd love to hear it -:)
I see you like Piazzolla too...
yes, something like this, even though I d like to sing it, but my voice is far away from being like mariza ...I play in a cafe,here you can see some videos and photos; I m the one with the violin. http://mysticduo.blogspot.com/
