With Lucenzo & Qwote's "Dançar kuduro" set to be the next song partially sung in Portuguese to hit the UK chart, time to remind other songs with lyrics in my mother tongue.

 

 

Bellini - Samba de Janeiro (#8, 1997)

Bonde do Rolé - Office boy (#75, 2007)

Kaoma - Lambada (#4, 1989)

Kaoma - Dançando lambada (#62, 1989)

Nelly Furtado - Força (#40, 2004)

Pet Shop Boys - Se a vida é (That's the way life is) (#8, 1996)

Sergio Mendes & Black Eyed Peas - Mas que nada (#6, 2006)

 

...are there any more?

I thought Danza Kuduro was in Spanish?

 

My favourite song of the 00s was sung entirely in Portuguese. It's by Bonde Do Rolê, but it's Solta O Frango rather than Office Boy. Shame that never charted. It was even on an advert for something.

Danza Kuduro is mostly in Spanish but the Lucenzo verses are in Portuguese.
Weren't parts of 'Gasolina' (the rap feature by Arcangel) in Portuguese as well?

Bellini - Samba de Janeiro (#8, 1997) :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Memories :D

It's probably becaused Portuguese is such a beautiful sounding language..... some of my favourite artists are Portuguese..... Mariza especially - absolutely beautiful.

when people talk about the world's best singers..... it's bizarre she's never namechecked. Absolutely incredible artist - a voice that can move me to tears with its beauty. Portugal has one of the richest and most interesting music scenes and heritages in the world. From Fado to techno, realy - you really kow how to do it well. Stunning country, too.... Sintra, Cascais, Lisbon.... oh my..... :heart:

Chilli ft Carrapicho - Tic Tic Tac. It kinda flopped in the UK, no loss really. I can't stand this version, the original without Chili is way better.

Portuguese hits are hard to find, they usually do much better in continental europe though, like France. Its also usually brazilian portuguese that does better, Força and Danza Kuduro/Vem Dançar Kuduro aside.

didnt Sash have one in Portuguese?.

i know he had one in French...German,...Italian...and English!

I'm not sure if I feel proud to be a Portuguese speaker or not.

This song list isn't my cup of tea.

Not because of that list, but because of Mariza
