Лолита Торрес - Возраст любви - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

There are two main fado centers: Lisbon and Coimbra, a small city with a population of just over 100 thousand people. In these places, people come to listen to romances in the so-called casas do fado - fado houses. They are reminiscent of a cabaret: listeners sit at tables with wine and snacks, and in front of them on the stage the fadista bares its soul. Food on the table is mainly for decoration. After all, chewing while performing a song means demonstrating extremely bad manners and the deepest disrespect for the artist. When fado sounds, it is customary to nervously wring your fingers, throw off your shawl from your shoulders, secretly brush away a stingy tear... Well, as a last resort, nervously smoke and drink with your head thrown back. But just don't eat.

Fado is often performed by men - and they do it incomparably: sincerely and touchingly. But it was a woman, a resident of Lisbon, Amalia Rodriguez, who glorified this genre.
