Madredeus is a Portuguese band. Their music
combines traditional Portuguese music (many times erroneously associated
with the subgenre of Fado) with influences of modern folk music. The
lyrics are often melancholic and related to the sea or travelling or
absence, continuing a tradition of songs that dates back to Medieval
times (with obvious relations to "cantigas de amigo" among others). The
lead vocalist Teresa Salgueiro left the band in 2007 for a solo career.

Maredeus - O Sonho (The Dream)
Who tells
a dream that dreamed
does not tells all that found
To tell a dream is forbidden
I dreamed
a dream with love
and a window and a flower
a water fountain and my friend
And there was nothing else...
just us, the light, and nothing else...
There lived love
Love,
That I bring in secret
a dream that will not tell
and each day is more meaningful
love,
I got love well hidden
in a dream that I can not tell
and always keep with me
