So, long story short, my friend Elder, gave me some Portuguese music and I figured I would post it here. I really like the music, and the fact that the musical style is similar to those found in the United States, yet in a different language.
The first song is called Rara calma by Rosa de Saron and it is a Christian worship song in Portuguese. It could most likely be compared to something like Casting Crowns, an English Christian worship band. And a friend of mine was actually so kind as to translate the lyrics for me.
Abro o coração.
Coloco-me aos seus pés.
Noite escura agora é manhã.
E falo com rara calma:
Sou o que sou, sem ti sou fraco,
mas sempre tive Você aqui perto de mim.
I open my heart
I surrender on your feet
Dark night is not morning
I talk with a rare calm
I'm what I am, without you i'm weak,
but i always had you, here, near me
The second song he gave me was more of a pop song, with lyrics in both English and Portuguese. This song is called Back to One by Brian McNight and Ivete Sangalo
These songs just helped to reveal to me a type of music that I don't think I ever would have encountered if it were not for my friend, and it proves one of the aspects of this class; that sometimes you might like music that is not normal American popular music.
