Carminho - Carta A Leslie Burke video free download

Para além de mim, para além de nós e deste mundo,

Criei um mundo nos meus olhos p'ra te olhar

E por amor refiz o céu e o mar profundo

E se não foi amor que mais pudera eu dar.

Deixei saudades no teu rosto desenhado

Pelo meu jeito infantil de te querer.

Fomos a casa, o sol e o vento apregoado,

Erguendo os braços quando a vida os quis erguer.

Dentro de mim, dentro da infância e deste rio

Deixei o amor ao rio que a alma me prendera

E juro a Deus que fico aqui neste vazio,

P'ra além de mim, p'ra além de nós à tua espera.

Apart from me, apart from us and this world,

I created a world in my eyes looking at you p'ra

And for the sake redid the sky and the deep sea

And if it was not love that I had been able to give.

I left longing in your face drawn

For my childish way you want.

We went home, the sun and the wind proclaimed,

Raising his arms when life would rise.

Within me, in childhood, and this river

I made love to the river that I had arrested the soul

And I swear to God that I am here in this empty

P'ra beyond me, p'ra beyond us waiting.

Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade (born on 20 August 1984, in Lisbon), better known as Carminho, is a Portuguese fado singer. She's featured on Pablo Alborán's "Perdóname" which was a number-one single in the Spanish charts.

The most widely recognized music of Portugal is fado, and it's been an extremely popular form among the Portuguese for nearly two centuries. Fado is a bluesy music that began to gain popularity among the urban poor of Lisbon in the 19th century. Brazilian and North African influences helped shape fado, as did Portuguese poetry and modinha ballads. The roots of Fado are frequently traced to Brazilian immigrants who brought their fofa and lundu dance music to Portugal in the early 1800s. Similar to Tango, Fado was initially perceived by the bourgeoisie as a disreputable, lower-class music.
