"Há um mar que nos separa" (English: There's a sea that separates us) is a song recorded by Portuguese singer Leonor Andrade. It was written by Miguel Gameiro. The song won the Festival da Canção 2015, and represented Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, in Vienna, Austria, but failed to qualify for the final.[1]
Release
"Há um mar que nos separa" was made available for streaming on 20 March 2015 in RTP's website.[2] The song was later released on 7 April 2015 as a digital download through RTP and Universal Music.[3] A promotional CD single will include the main Portuguese version, plus an English version, a Spanish version and two acoustic versions.[4]
Composition
"Há um mar que nos separa" is an electronic rock-influenced pop song which lasts for a duration of two minutes and fifty-nine seconds.[3] Lyrically, the track features Andrade reminiscing about a past lover as she sings the line, "If it's the sea that separates us/ I will dry it with longing".[5]
Live performances
Andrade performed "Há um mar que nos separa" live for the first time during the first semi-final of Festival da Canção 2015 - the Portuguese national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.
