Lyrics and translation Loreena McKennitt - Tango to Evora - Introduction - In Her Own Words
In
the
1980's,
I
had
the
privileged
to
compose
music
Dans
les
années
1980,
j'ai
eu
le
privilège
de
composer
de
la
musique
For
a
trio
of
films
from
the
national
film
board
of
Canada
Pour
une
trilogie
de
films

The
piece
of
music
entitled
"Tango
to
Evora"

Was
initially
composed
for
one
of
those
films
A
été
initialement
composée
pour
l'un
de
ces
films
When
they
came
around
to
assembling
materials
for
the
recording
which
became
"The
visit"
Quand
ils
ont
commencé
à
assembler
des
documents
pour
l'enregistrement
qui

visite"
I
decided
to
re-record
it
for
this
album
J'ai
décidé
de
l'enregistrer
à
nouveau
pour
cet
album
The
title
of
the
piece
didn't
come
until
I
was
in
Portugal
in
early
1991
Le
titre
de
la
pièce
n'est
apparu
qu'au
début
de
1991,
lorsque
j'étais
au
Portugal
On
a
photoshoot
for
"The
visit"
Lors
d'une
séance
photo
pour
"La
visite"
The
photographer,
Elizabeth
Fearon
and
I
went
for
a
trip
to
the
beautiful
city
of
Evora
La
photographe,
Elizabeth
Fearon,
et
moi
sommes
allées
faire
un
tour
dans
la
belle
ville
d'Evora
And
we're
listening
to
some
of
the
draft
tracks
I
had
already
recorded
Et
nous
écoutions
certaines
des
pistes
de
démonstration
que
j'avais
déjà
enregistrées
Including
this
one
Y
compris
celle-ci
Somehow
there
was
something
about
the
personality
of
Evora
that
day
D'une
certaine
manière,
il
y
avait
quelque
chose
dans
la
personnalité
d'Evora
ce
jour-là
Which
connected
me
to
this
piece
Qui
m'a
connecté
à
cette
pièce
And
I
blended
the
Tango
feel
to
the
location
we
were
visiting
Et
j'ai
fusionné
le
sentiment
de
Tango
avec
l'endroit
que
nous
visitions
And
it's
been
gratifying
to
see
how
far
and
wide
Et
c'est
gratifiant
de
voir
à
quel
point
This
piece
of
music
has
been
embraced
Cette
pièce
de
musique
a
été
adoptée

in

Greece,
Israel
and
many
other
places
Y
compris
en
Turquie,
en
Grèce,
en
Israël
et
dans
de
nombreux
autres
endroits
And
other
creative
spirits
would
have
Et
d'autres
esprits
créatifs
auraient
Set
their
own
lyrics
to
the
melody
and
made
it
their
own
Mis

paroles
sur
la
mélodie
et
