Macau Sa Assi (Macao is like this) - by Tuna Macaense

When I was out of town, people asked me how's Macau, I usually answers like this : 'Macao used to be a portuguese colony for more than 450 years, though back to China, but it still has the feeling of a european city.' In other case, when there are friends visiting Macau, I usually bring them to have dinner in a Portuguese restaurant. I am happy that I grew up in a colonial environment,blending the east and west,but now,with all these tremendous changes (I should say distruction of the city), I feel sad and I missed the old days of Macao.

Tuna Macaense is a typical Macanese band, existing for longe than a century. In the lyric of this song,it describes the old days of Macau.....small streets,narrow alleys, name of the different districts, neighbours knowing each other well, there are men selling hot bread in the street, or calling out to buy in old home stuff........

I'm afraid only at Coloane now, we could still have a glimpse of the taste.
