Cesaria Evora and Marisa Monte, “E Doce Morrer no Mar”

Cesaria Evora and Marisa Monte, “E Doce Morrer no Mar”

This is a song written by Dorival Caymi who lived on the Bahia coast of Brazil.
The song tells the story of a fisherman who goes out to sea at night and dies, leaving his wife alone at home. His wife suffers with grief but thinks

“Doce more no mar, nas ondas verdes do mar.” (It is a sweet, graceful way to die, die in the green waves of the sea).

Uma música por dois classe mundial de cantores cujo vozes iluminar meu dia.
