My own translation and original lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/feiti...s-saudade.html

Sorceress of Saudade

"Sorceress of saudade
tell me where the stars are born
companion of saudade
how do you dare to forget them
don't you forget me nor that love that I must forget
don't you forget me nor that love that I wished to not forget

Let the fisheman in the sea
let the dancer dance
let Leanor walk on fountain where she goes barefoot and safe
let the fighter brawl
let the player win
leave to the dreamer the share that belongs to him of love and madness

Patron of saudade
tell me where are the nightmares going
messenger of saudade
how do you do to forget them
don't you forget me nor that love that I must forget
don't you forget me nor that love that I wished to not forget

Let the fisheman in the sea
let the dancer dance
let the equator wrap around my waist the waters and lands
let the good mood arrive
let my love come back
leave to the dreamer the share that belongs to him of love and madness"

Not music or dance but a traditional form of fight/grappling named galhofa. It's not very known, and it's the only grappling combat sport with Portuguese origins.

Galhofa^[1] (também denominada maluta^[2][3], na freguesia do Soito, do município do Sabugal) é um estilo de luta tradicional da região portuguesa de Trás-os-Montes, que se define como um desporto de combate. É tida como a única luta corpo a corpo com origens portuguesas.^[4]

"Margaça" - Portuguese Work Folk song



"Margaça", also known in english as stinking chamomile or mayweed, (in latin: Anthemis cotula), it's a type of plant present within the portuguese territory and native to Europe overall. It's also the name given to this "moda" , meaning a traditional song from Beira Alta (a region in Portugal), which is usually accompanied by the adufe (an old square-shaped tambourine of Portuguese/Iberian origin), while it's sung by both men and women during field work or leisure time.

There are several variations of this song, but the analogy between this herb and men remains, that is, since the plant produces a stinking smell but also gives a beautiful white flower, it's compared to men who also have their faults and qualities.

"Bela Infanta" - Medieval Crusade Portuguese ballad



"A Bela Infanta" ("The Fair Lady") is a typical medieval romance with records from the 16th century, but being contemporary with the crusades and the beginning of Portuguese maritime exploration. This version of the song is very faithful to the recorded version, which was collected in Beira Baixa and embellished by the Portuguese poet Almeida Garrett.

The novel speaks about a noble lady, or princess, who yearns for the return of her husband who departed to Jerusalem, in a crusade. When she spots a large ship, she questions the captain about her husband's whereabouts and he submits her to a set of trials in order to find out how far she was willing to sacrifice for her beloved. The ballad ends with the captain of the fleet revealing his true identity: the infanta's husband, who after so many years wanted to test the loyalty of his wife, who remained always faithful until the end of the novel.
