Porto, is a very ancient city built on a riverside's slope by the end of Douro river.
Carlos Tê, a very romantic poet, returning to his majestic old city and watching it crossing the river, compared that view to a haughty kite bird* wounded on the wing (altivez de milhafre ferido na asa) and he wrote this soulful poem. Rui Veloso transformed it into this beautiful song in fado style**.
This video was recorded by me only 4 hours ago. The live performance of this song is always a very touching moment for the public and for the artists.
Notes:
* A kite bird (milhafre) from Porto area is similar to a big falcon.
** Fado is a Portuguese music style but Rui Veloso is a bluesman.
