Dulce José Silva Pontes (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈduɫs(ɨ) ʒuˈzɛ ˈsiɫvɐ ˈpõtɨʃ], born April 8, 1969) is a Portuguese songwriter and singer who performs in many musical styles, including pop, folk, and classical music. She is usually defined as a world music artist. Her songs contributed to the 1990s revival of Portuguese urban folk music called fado.
Pontes was born in 1969 in Montijo, a town in the District of Setúbal, near Lisbon. She trained as a pianist, and started a career in singing after entering a competition in her hometown at the age of 18. She soon became an actress on Portuguese television and theater. In 1991, she won the national music festival with her song "Lusitana Paixão", which translates to "Lusitanian Passion", (known in English as "Tell Me"), which led her to represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest. She finished 8th in the competition, which is to date the fourth-best finish for a Portuguese performer.

"Lágrima"

Cheia de penas
Cheia de penas me deito
E com mais penas
E com mais penas me levanto
No meu peito
Já me ficou no meu peito
Este jeito
O jeito de querer tanto

Desespero
Tenho por meu desespero
Dentro de mim
Dentro de mim o castigo
Eu não te quero
Eu digo que não te quero
E de noite
De noite sonho contigo

Se considero
Que um dia hei-de morrer
No desepero
Que tenho de te nao ver
Estendo o meu xaile
Estendo o meu xaile no chao
Estendo o meu xaile
E deixo-me adormecer

Se eu soubesse
Se eu soubesse que morrendo
Tu me havias
Tu me havias de chorar
Por uma lágrima
Por uma lágrima tua
Que alegría
Me deixaria matar...

"Tear"

Full of aches
Full of aches I lay myself down
And with more aches
And with more aches I arise
In my chest
I have in my chest
This way of doing things
Of wanting you so much

Despair
I have for my despair
Inside me
Inside me the punishment
I do not want you
I say I do not want you
And at night
At night I dream of you.

If I consider
That one day I shall die
In despair
That I have to not see you
I extend my shawl
I extend my shawl on the floor
I extend my shawl
And succumb to sleep.

If I knew
If i knew that dying
You must for me
You must cry for me
For a tear
For one of your tears
What happiness
I would allow myself to die...
