Why Portuguese Rocks

Elis Regina, Águas de Março
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRqI5R6L7ow

This language is better for singing that even Italian!

I agree:

It's fun to listen to music, but it's more fun if the words are also included. If more people link here, it would be great if they link to videos with lyrics on youtube. That way it's "educational".

The lyrics to "Águas de Março" can be found here, as well as a literal and a more poetic English translation:

Thanks/Obrigado, helpful guest. There were lyrics for both videos on youtube (one in the comment section), so I just mentioned this in case someone tries to yank this thread. It's about time we had a Portuguese language music thread. I'd like to see similar ones in various languages. A thread for each language.

Is there any Brazilian music from late 80s/ early 90s, either Rock, or something similar to Madonna/Kylie Monogoe/Cyndi Lauper?

Chega de Saudade

A little pedophilic, but the song is nice!

I love this song but I hate this stupid video by the old man João Gilberto. There are much better versions of this bossa nova song in youtube

or this one sung by Caetano Veloso, and subtitles in English

Anyway, this is bossa nova. Quite old pop music. It rocked as a fad in the beginning of the 60's, not nowadays. It's not the only musical style of Brazil, just one of the most famous abroad. I love this music anyway.

Portuguese is so useless.
learn Spanish and English, German and French, and Japanese
it's where the money is

Spain is one of the richest countries in the world
the same cannot be said of Brazil, or Portugal.

Brazil is richer than Portugal. it is the 9 richest country in the world.
