"Todo o Meu Ser" with its Portuguese lyrics and Brazilian flavor actually has its roots with the Unuit who are indigenous peoples of the North American Arctic.  While in Brazil, Joan Szymko was inspired to set to music a favorite quote originating with Inuit shaman, Orpingalik:"How many songs I have I cannot tell you.  All my being is a song, and I sing as I draw breath." Beautiful words, but even more lyrical in Portuguese.
