@aleahs.mp3: portuguese love - teena marie (1981) What the Song is about: The song Portuguese Love is a poetic love song. The lyrics capture the love, passion, and imagery shared between Teena and whoever she was with. Contrary to popular belief, Portuguese Love was not written about Rick James who Teena Marie was in a relationship and had a kid with. On a starry winter night in Portugal Where the ocean kissed the southern shore It was about a man from Cape Verde (a Portuguese/African island off the coast of Senegal). Teena Marie was Portuguese herself where the name Portuguese Love also comes from. The song is sung with very much passion and you can hear the how intense the affair was just by listening to her voice (per genius.com) #portugeselove #teenamarie #outonalimb #80smusic #foryou
