REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA

Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic, is a country on the Iberian Peninsula, in Southwestern Europe. The republic also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, both autonomous regions with their own regional governments.

Portugal is a developed country with a high-income advanced economy and high living standards. It is the 5th most peaceful country in the world, maintaining a unitary semi-presidential republican form of government.

Continental Portugal is agglomerated into 18 districts. They are: Aveiro, Beja, Braga, Bragança, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Évora, Faro, Guarda, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Porto, Santarém, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real and Viseu – each district takes the name of the district capital.

Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with a population of 552,700 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km². Its urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.7 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union.

It is recognised as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism.

Hey [MENTION=12837]JamieBrown[/MENTION] , choose very surprisingly ... I love ... dead combo are some bands that I really appreciate in Portugal (and you sent my favorite song from them)
I watched one of their shows a month ago (in a local music fetival), and this song was the last one played and it was chilling,Congratulations to discover is, this is considered by a friend of mine the best Portuguese music ever

Just a suggestion , I think the audio on this link has more quality : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVDjHszbdO8

Good luck, I hope to see this in the final

AFTER A BREAK OF 11 EDITIONS, PORTUGAL IS FINALLY BACK IN THE GAME!​

And the same can be said for me, after a break of 72 editions I guess the Eurovision 2020 forum game just reminded me of the good times I spent at Worldvision, and I couldn't help myself but to return
Even though my previous WV stints were rather short, I do have to say that a few artists that I've met here have stayed with me forever, and I'm hoping the same will happen again!

I think my musical taste can be described as ecletic, and I'm hoping that my entries for Portugal on this second era will reflect just that. For my return I'm sending a song that actually belongs to a genre that I don't really listen to that often, but this one was just too much of an earworm that got stuck in my head!

I'm in the middle of exams right now, but once I have a bit more free time I'll try to update the first post of the thread with the history of Portugal at Worldvision, for prosperity sake

WV 127 || Bárbara Tinoco - "Sei Lá"

Eu sei lá, em que dia da semana vamos
Sei lá, qual é a estação do ano
Sei lá, talvez nem sequer queira saber
Eu sei lá, porque dizem que estou louca
Sei lá, já não sou quem fui sou outra
Sei lá, pergunta-me amanhã talvez eu saiba responder

E eu juro, eu prometo e eu faço, e eu rezo
Mas no fim o que sobra de mim?
E tu dizes coisas belas, histórias de telenovelas
Mas no fim tiras mais um pouco de mim
Então força leva mais um bocado
Que eu não vou a nenhum lado
Leva todo o bom que há em mim
Que eu não fujo, eu prometo, eu perdoo e eu esqueço
Mas no fim o que sobra de mim?

Mas tu sabes lá, as guerras que eu tenho
Tu sabes lá, das canções que eu componho
Tu sabes lá, talvez nem sequer queiras saber
Mas tu sabes lá, da maneira que eu te amo
Tu sabes lá, digo a todos que é engano
Tu sabes lá, pergunto-te amanhã, mas não vais saber responder

Eu juro, eu prometo e eu faço, e eu rezo
Mas no fim o que sobra de mim?
E tu dizes coisas belas, histórias de telenovelas
Mas no fim tiras mais um pouco de mim
Então força leva mais um bocado
Que eu não vou a nenhum lado
Leva todo o bom que há em mim
Que eu não fujo, eu prometo, eu perdoo e eu esqueço
Mas no fim o que sobra de mim?

Sim, eu juro
Sim, eu juro

This song talks about a girl that feels like she's losing her sense of self and her personality for a boy that is just toying with her emotions, that truly doesn't care about her and just uses her to fulfill a lonely void inside of himself. But even though she is conscious about what is going on, she doesn't have the strength to move on and get herself away from this toxic relationship. I've decided to send this entry because I fortunately got out of a similar situation recently, more or less at the same time this song came out, and for that reason I relate to it in a way I've never really related with many songs before.
I really hope y'all enjoy Portugal's second return entry! ​

 

[JSSArcos]

Curiously, I sent this to the FSC this edition

Not being the biggest fan Barbara (now I'm enjoying his work more), I really fell in love for this song, Good luck

Oh damn, sorry, I hope you don't mind me sending the same song! I have to be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the rest of the forum besides the WV subforum lately
Bárbara is just at the beginning of her career, I can't wait to see the stuff she'll come out with when her musical experience develops a little more! Here's hoping she'll go the Eurovision one day too haha

I just wanted to thank everyone who voted for Portugal once again, both in the final and the semi-final, and helped me achieve my first final since my return to this crazy ride

WV 128 || Filipe Sambado - "Jóia da Rotina"

Cabeça pra baixo às 7h da matina
Caça ao ouro, escadas do metro acima
Deixo o tesouro no lar, pra quando voltar
Ter mais brilho no regresso

Eu só peço, só peço
Pra te ter no quarteirão
O gato no colchão
O amor a dividir

Por agora é o que peço
É o melhor começo
Ter amor pra dividir

A jóia da rotina
A jóia da rotina
É voltar cedo pra casa
Deixar o ouro na mina

A jóia da rotina
A jóia da rotina
É voltar cedo pra casa
Deixar o ouro na mina

Canso os braços e sem abraços
Ligo pra saber se 'tás bem ('Tás bem?)
Dizes que 'tar forte e com sorte
E o regresso é o que eu peço
É o que eu peço

Eu só peço, só peço
Pra te ter no quarteirão
O gato no colchão
O amor a dividir

Por agora é o que peço
É o melhor começo
Ter amor pra dividir
(Ter amor pra dividir)

Tenho os braços cansados
E os olhos a sorrir
Com amor pra dividir

Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer
Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer

A jóia da rotina
A jóia da rotina
É voltar cedo pra casa
Deixar o ouro na mina

A jóia da rotina
A jóia da rotina
É voltar cedo pra casa
Deixar o ouro na mina

Eu só peço, só peço
Pra te ter no quarteirão
O gato no colchão
O amor a dividir

Por agora é o que peço
É o melhor começo
Ter amor pra dividir
Ter amor pra dividir

Tenho os braços cansados
E os olhos a sorrir

Com amor pra dividir
Com amor pra dividir
Com amor pra dividir
Com amor pra dividir

Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer
Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer

Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer
Maroskas (Maroskas)
Deixa a barriga crescer

Deixa a barriga crescer

Serving true "They tried to put me on the cover of Vogue, but my legs were toooo long" energy, it's Filipe Sambado!
Blending traditional Portuguese elements with pop-ish sounds, Filipe Sambado has been described as Portugal's answer to Rosalía. His participation in Festival da Canção earlier this year really helped launching his career, but I would have preferred if he had sent "Jóia da Rotina", his first single, instead. It's just more accessible, catchier, and has a message that I think everyone can relate with - in order to get through the grind of everyday life, we need to create connections and have a support system helping us when we get home, either our families, our friends, our hobbies our just our cat (the Maroskas mentioned in the lyrics is the name of his cat). Hope y'all enjoy this entry!

23rd place in the semi-final with 37points​

WV 129 || Marta Ren & The Groovelets - "Summer's Gone (Didn't Swim)"

Summer's gone
And i didn't swim
Still took a dip
But it's not the same

He passed me by
It didn't seemed real
Suppose I'm diggin' to get my drill

The only tan I've got was
In my brain
Suppose I'm diggin' and I can't complain

Nothing's wrong
(You've) got everything you need
And still something's pushing out and you can't achieve
So you try, to blame it on the man
Poor sweet one
He's doing what he can

Shuaaaaaap
Summer's gone
And I didn't swim
Shuaaaaaaap
Still took a dip
It's not the same

Shuaaaaaaaap
Summer's gone
Didn't swim
Shuaaaaaaaap
Still took a dip
It's not the same

He passed by
It didn't seem real
Suppose I'm diggin' to get my drill

On the right path to achieve
That's the soul food
Without I can't breath

Nothing's wrong
I've got everything I need
And still something's drifting out and you can't achive
So you try, to blame it on the man
Cool sweet one
He's doing what he can

10th Place in the Semi-Final with 61 points
24th Place in the Final with 49 points​

WV 130 || MONDAY - "Little Fish"

Little fish are swimming everywhere
And I can't control their tide
Little fish are swimming everywhere
And I can't control their time

Feet on the ground won't take a step
Why should I when the world is
Mad to its core?
I can only hear noise
If we should be two then why do
People break up so easy?
Find happiness in your solitude

When I stop, can I still go everywhere?
If I can't control my time
If I change can I still go anywhere?
When I can't control my tide

Feet on the ground won't take a step
Why should I when the world is
Mad to its core?
I can only hear noise
If we should be two then why do
People break up so easy?
Find happiness in your solitude

Come, move away
Take all that's wrong and grow past its way
I think I know what's been wrong with me
Been taking for granted all that life has to be

Feet on the ground won't take a step
Why should I when the world is
Mad to its core?
I can only hear noise
If we should be two then why do
People break up so easy?

Find happiness in your solitude
