Cardai cardicas cardai
La lhana pa los cobertores,
Que las pulgas (e)stan prenhadas,
Van a parir cardadoress.

Tirioni tioni tioni
Tirioni tioni tiono

La moda d'l Tirioni
Quin l'havi(e) d(e)aumentare?
Un burro d(e)un cardadore
Que la truxo pal'lhugare!

L'lhugar de Du(e)s Eigreijas
Te(n) una pidra bermelha
Donde se sentam los moçus
A peinar a la guedeilha.

L'lhugar de Du(e)s Eigreijas
Te(n) una pidra redonda
Donde se sentam los moús
Quando benam de la ronda

Hi, i speak Mirandese and also Portuguese. And that translation looks almost good. Mirandese word "cardar" means "the process of brushing raw or washed fibers to prepare them as textiles".

So here it goes, and i will correct the mirandese because it has some errors:

Cardai cardicas cardai........Brush "women who brush", brush
la lhana pa ls cobertores,..the wool for the blankets
que................................that
las pulgas stan prenhadas,..the fleas are pregnant
ban a parir cardadores......will give birth to carders

Tirioni tioni tioni  (don't really have one meaning or at least i don't know)
tirioni tioni tiono

La moda de l Tirioni............The  fashion of Tirioni
quien l habie...................who should
de l'oumentare?................increase it?
Un burro dun cardadore......One donkey of a carder
que la truxo....................who brought it
pa l lhugar!.....................to the village!

L lhugar de Dues...........The village of Two
Eigreijas.......................Churches (it's one village, although that name the village doesn't have two churches :P)
ten ua piedra bermeilha...has a red stone
adonde se sientan ls........where sit the
moços............................boys
a peinar la guedeilha.......combing the long hair <"guedeilha" may be pejorative>.

L lhugar de...................The place of
Dues Eigreijas.............Two Churches
ten ua piedra reduonda...has a round stone
adonde se.......................where
sientan ls moços............the boys sit
quando bénen de la ronda. when they come from their round("ronda" is one traditional act, where boys go around their village).

This is gorgeous. The cd cover seems appropriate. I love clean, minimal, elegant music like this. It makes for a soothing interlude.

Sounds exactly like the Cirque du Soleil. That's not a bad thing.

Great soothing song! Never heard of Dulce Pontes before but I'm curious about her stuff now! ;) I discovered RP today and I really like the variety of styles in the playlist. Excellent place to discover artists that I guess would otherwise not be heard on mainstream radio.

According to her website, it is a traditional song in Mirandês (an ancient Portuguese dialect). That's Dulce herself on the cover of the CD, naked and covered with mud.

I like it. Appreciate the great variety of chill tunes here on RadioParadise.

Nicely played and sung, with lots of passion. I'm sure this song means a lot to others, but it does nothing for me. Sleep, maybe...other than that...not a thing.

Wow, smooth intro out to Bella Fleck, but I was going to say in reply to mojoman that Trustocity is a harsh critic indeed. This is a very interesting tune. Edit on 9/21 loving it again! Made me look up from the computer!

Poignant. Outstanding. Like master winemakers, Pontes and sidemen Wayne Shorter, Trilok Gurtu, and Kepa Junkera produce pure, concentrated beauty.

Anyone who likes this should also check out Madredeus, another Portuguese band.

i am concentrating.... dramatic, 'passionate' pauses noted... still don't think there's much of worth here. just because it's in another language doesn't mean it's good

She awakens, ready to take on the day. A dash of eyeliner, a spread of lipstick and she's out the door. The office schedule informs her of her duties; it's her turn to operate the heavy machinery. She hops into the Caterpillar and turns on her satellite radio headphones. The tune is "Tirioni" by Dulce Pontes. She falls asleep and kills dozens of her coworkers, then falls out of the cab and under the crushing treads. The funeral mourners lament the tragedy and vote a 1 online for the song.

I find the surprising lack of music taste variety, well, surprising. Why are these people listening to RP? The whole point of this station is to celebrate many diiferent forms of music.

Maybe you should stop for a while, concentrate and LISTEN to the passion in her voice and the tastefully played guitar... after all there are so many ways of expressing deep feelings (even though I have no idea of what the song is about). <-X
I agree with ArbiterOfGoodTaste - it is very dull in any language regardless of the so-called passion in her voice.
