Voce
 

What is the literal meaning of the word "voce" in Brazilian?
Is it "sing" or "voice" or both?
It crops up in lots of Brazilian music and I really like to know.
Many thanks friends.

OK thanks,that's what Google says(to me) but then,in what
context(meaning) are these Brazilian vocalists using the word voce?
It must mean "vocalize" or sing,no?
eg:songs here-

Ah, that's Portugese; there doesn't seem to be a
meaning (that I can find), for 'voce' in Portugese.

The only thing I can think of, is that it may signify
a vocal piece, no?

Portugese?
Thanks for that.
I'll gamble that it means "sing".
Check out the soundtrack to "Woman On Top"(the film featuring the
wonderful Penelope Cruz)there is some great music on the OST,one of
the tracks is simply titled "Voce"(complete with accent of
course)-Vothe,Vo-che!
The film is good also,in a "feel good" aspect.
