Portuguese Music - Os Azeitonas

"Os Azeitonas" (the olives) are a quite recent Portuguese band that made a huge success, in their words: " “Os Azeitonas” claim for themselves the status of trustees of the national singing style lost somewhere in the mists o

f time. Make "format-song" the torch that illuminates the tracks of the lost Light Portuguese Music, and uses verses of love as a weapon and insurrection. The band is the maturation of many years in secret listening to Neil Diamond in the old parents stereo systems, disguising the emotion towards the dance beat of ABBA and hide the embarrassment of chicken pumps in the most romantic ballads by Bonnie Tyler.

Translation of the Song “Anda comigo ver os aviões” (Come with me to see the planes)

Come with me to see the planes taking off
Tearing up the clouds
Tearing up the Sky
Come with me to the port of Leixões to see the ships
Lifting up anchor
Ripping up the sea
One day I’ll win the lottery
Or do I a spell
And may I die here
Woman you know how much I love you,
How much I I like you
And may I die here
If one day I don’t take you to America
Or may I bring America to you
Come with me to see the cars in the avenue
Tearing up the curves
Burning tires
One day we will see the rockets taking off
Tearing up the clouds
Tearing up the sky...
One day I win the lottery
Or I will pick up a pistol
And may I die here
Woman you know how much I love you
How much I I like you
And may I die here
If one day I don’t take you to the moon
Or may I steal the moon,
Just for you
One day I’ll play soccer
Or I will sell this guitar
And may I die here
Woman you know how much I love you
How much I like you
And may I die here
If one day I don’t take you to America
Or may I bring America to you
