Mariza Reis Nunes (born December 16, 1973 in Mozambique) is a fado singer. She moved to Portugal when she was three, and was raised in one of the most traditional quarters of Lisbon, Mouraria - Alfama, where she learned how to sing fado.
She has a Portuguese father but her mother hails from Mozambique (the song "Transparente" is a tribute to her African grandmother).
"When Mariza sings, time stands still. Every word is sung with intense concentration, every note hit flawlessly. When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her, caught in her trap(…).”
Charlie Gillett - BBC Radio
"Nothing short of spectacular...her voice sewwping effortlessly from searing ctries to whispered confessions."
Washington Post
"She embodies modern fado in the way Maria Callas once embodied modern opera: as something dramatic, permeable, involving, convinving and, at its best, devastating."
Sydney Morning Herald

去姚晨那里上课,他说Mariza 10月份在芝加哥有表演,我们可以一起去。 绿茶MM, 要不要一起去?
我还是很喜欢我译的这首Fado, 没有完全按照英文, 因为我觉得英文没有那种 "desperate", "devastating" 的痛。 这几句是我改的, 现在看,还是写我。"住在里面的人都受了寒"; "盛满了一房间的伤心事"; "四面焦虑筑成的墙"; "是受了伤的沉默"...
----------------------------------
当夜幕降临在里斯本
就象是烛台上没有烛光
阿尔法玛看上去很冷
就象是房间没有窗户
住在里面的人都受了寒
就在它的阁楼里
盛满了一房间的伤心事
阿尔法玛被围困在
四面水筑成的墙
四面悲哀筑成的墙
四面焦虑筑成的墙
在夜里唱的那首歌
点亮了这座城市
被围困在这海市蜃楼里啊
阿尔法玛,你闻起来
是乡愁……
阿尔法玛不是Fado
阿尔法玛是一群人
是孤独
是受了伤的沉默
是就着悲哀吞下去的面包
阿尔法玛不是Fado
可除了Fado,它又不是别的歌……
--------------------------------
When the night falls in Lisbon
Like a candelabre without candles
All Alfama seems cold
A house without windows
What the people get cold
It's in a loft
In a space stollen to grief
That Alfama stays shut
In four waslls made of water
Four walls of sorrow
Four walls of anxiety
That sing in the night
A song that lights up in the city
Shut on its desenchartment
Alfama smells like nostalgia
Alfama doesn't smell like fado
It smells like people
Like loneliness
Like injured silence
It tastes like sadness with bread
Alfama doesn't smell like fado
But doesn't have another song

Fado:
http://www.mayacafe.com/forum/topic1sp.php3?tkey=1150995584
刚才无意间发现了一封旧信,上面是一些Fado的歌词:放在这里:
"They are so real. These lyrics are so beautiful, so accurate to cry out your heart and mind; it captures the true feeling of human being. All the emotions and feelings are raw, fresh and original…Fado is not only music but a way of feeling life, it's like breathing."
About Fado itself:
It is a simple melody
Like those that teach you to live
I am a foreign emotion
An error of a dream that’s gone
About Poet:
Only those who hold in their hearts
Secret and bitter pain
On a moonlit night
Can understand poets
About Singer:
It’s feelings which give life
To the nostalgia I carry
The rain wets my body
So cold and so tired
The many streets in the city
Each one I have wondered
With the tears of a lost child
Echoed back from the city to my Fado
About Loneness:
When I feel alone
As if you had left me
More along than a tramp
On a park bench
And when I feel sorry
For myself and in return
Feel hatred for the world
What separates us like this
When I feel along
I taste Fado in my mouth
"But I like “Song of disillusion” most, I feel this song just for me…after I see myself here, I don’t feel shame for all my pain and struggles anymore---I think maybe this is why Fado can last forever because it is directly from a heart".
This love, this fate of mine
So vivid and so painful
Caught between yes and however
The ungoverned love
Marked by fire and crushed
In a deep melancholy
This harrowing love
This love that night and day
Pulls at me and tortures me
This disillusion love
With its tormented yearnings
Fills up my empty life
This hallucinatory love
This love that deranges me
Somewhere between grief and joy
Confused as it is
My despairing love
Of what other love can I sing?
------------------------------------
The silence of the guitar
That clings to my soul
Like fire it was
And lasts in my bosom
For the happiness also weeps
And washes away the grief
This silence of the Tejo
Without a mouth for a kiss
Neither eyes to weep
Seagull caught in the wind
A ship of suffering
Always persisting in returning
Lisboa harbour of the saudade
Where a guitar to us
Shall play a sad fado
When the soul becomes immense
The sadness also sings
In an almost still weeping

Wow, great. //hug hug~~~ Thanks~~~
Look forward to the concert and hangout afterwards.... - Re: Mariza 和现代Fadoposted on 10/20/2007
前两天去听了mariza 的Fado 音乐会,真的好。大家去买她的cd吧。 - posted on 10/21/2007
July, 由于你的介绍,我上月底去里斯本时,特地走访了Alfama 。数百年苍桑和大地震的劫后余生都浓缩在那小街小巷里陡峭的碎石路上。在一条窄窄的巷子里,有鞋匠铺,水果铺,鱼铺,杂货店。看到有人买东西是从几层楼高的窗口用绳子放下一只蓝子,街对面的小贩把那人要买的东西和找的零钱都装进蓝子里,再由买主拎上去。十分有趣。
在Alfama 吃到的海鲜让人回味无穷,而且不算贵。在欧元不断上升的行市下,里斯本是唯一还可以称作 affordable 的西欧都市。许多餐馆门前贴有Fado 演唱的告示,但演唱时间都是在晚上。由于我的日程所限,未能如愿去听一场Fado (英文译成Fate). 我会去买Mariza的CD, 补上这点遗撼。
