Há Uma Música Do Povo Lyrics in English Mariza
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Há Uma Música Do Povo by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
Há uma música do povo
There's a song of the people
Nem sei dizer se é um fado
I don't even know if it's a fado
Que ouvindo há um ritmo novo
Hearing it, there's a new rhythm
No ser que tenho guardado
In the being I've kept hidden
Ouvindo-a sou quem seria
Hearing it, I am who I would be
Se desejar fosse ser
If wishing were being
É uma simples melodia
It's a simple melody
Das que se aprendem a viver
Of those one learns to live by
Mas é tão consoladora
But it's so comforting
A vaga e triste canção
The vague and sad song
Que a minha alma já não chora
That my soul no longer cries
Nem eu tenho coração
Nor do I have a heart
Sou uma emoção estrangeira
I'm a foreign emotion
Um erro de sonho ido
A mistake of a dream gone by
Canto de qualquer maneira
I sing in any way
E acabo com um sentido
And I end with meaning
Mas é tão consoladora
But it's so comforting
A vaga e triste canção
The vague and sad song
Que a minha alma já não chora
That my soul no longer cries
Nem eu tenho coração
Nor do I have a heart
Sou uma emoção estrangeira
I'm a foreign emotion
Um erro de sonho ido
A mistake of a dream gone by
Canto de qualquer maneira
I sing in any way
E acabo com um sentido
And I end with meaning

Did you like this lyrics translation?
consoladora — comforting
Consoladora translates to "comforting" or "consoling". It's a beautiful and evocative word that isn't as common as everyday adjectives, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, the singer describes a "vaga e triste canção" (vague and sad song) that is nonetheless "tão consoladora" (so comforting). This paradox highlights the power of music to bring solace even when it carries a melancholic tone, making the word particularly poignant and memorable.
