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 cardersTirioni 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!

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

You beat me to it. If you can get past that, however, it is rather beautiful. |

Perfect timing! I needed to extract myself from the black holes that are the RP forums. What better way than stopping to appreciate this great work. A solid 9.

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.

Absolutely gorgeous! I've heard this track before. I guess it must have been on RP. :)
Thinking about it some, I wondered if this track was also done by Loreena McKennit. Looking at allmusic.com, it doesn't appear so, but it sure sounds (to these ears) like it could have been. Hmmm.
