Adriano Maria Correia Gomes de Oliveira(Porto, 9 de Abril de 1942 — Avintes, 16 de Outubro de 1982) foi um músico português, intérprete da canção de Coimbra e cantor de intervenção.
Filho de Joaquim Gomes de Oliveira e de sua mulher, Laura Correia, Adriano mudou-se para Avintes ainda com poucos meses de vida. Criado numa família profundamente católica, a infância de Adriano Correia de Oliveira é marcada pelo ambiente que descreverá mais tarde como «marcadamente rural, entre videiras, cães domésticos e belas alamedas arborizadas com vista para o rio [Douro]».
Depois de concluir os estudos secundários, no Liceu Alexandre Herculano, no Porto, Adriano Correia de Oliveira matriculou-se na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra, em 1959. Durante os anos passados em Coimbra, tem uma intensíssima participação no meio cultural e desportivo ligado à academia. Viveu na Real República Ras-Teparta, foi solista no Orfeon Académico, membro do Grupo Universitário de Danças e Cantares, ator no CITAC, guitarrista no Conjunto Ligeiro da Tuna Académica e jogador de voleibol na Briosa.
Na década de 1960 adere ao Partido Comunista Português, envolvendo-se nas greves académicas de 62, contra o salazarismo. Nesse ano foi candidato à Associação Académica de Coimbra, numa lista apoiada pelo MUD.
Data de 1963 o seu primeiro EP, Fados de Coimbra. Acompanhado por António Portugal e Rui Pato, o álbum continha a interpretação de Trova do vento que passa, poema de Manuel Alegre, que se tornaria uma espécie de hino da resistência dos estudantes à ditadura. Em 1967 gravou o álbum Adriano Correia de Oliveira, que, entre outras canções, tinha Canção com lágrimas.
Em 1966 casa-se com Maria Matilde de Lemos de Figueiredo Leite, filha do médico António Manuel Vieira de Figueiredo Leite (Coimbra, Taveiro, 11 de Outubro de 1917 - Coimbra, 22 de Março de 2000) e de sua mulher Maria Margarida de Seixas Nogueira de Lemos (Salsete, São Tomé, 13 de Junho de 1923), depois casada com Carlos Acosta. O casal, que mais tarde se separaria, veio a ter dois filhos: Isabel, nascida em 1967 e José Manuel, nascido em 1971.
Chamado a cumprir o Serviço Militar, em 1967, Adriano Correia de Oliveira ficaria a uma disciplina de se formar em Direito. Em 1970, já licenciado da tropa, decide trocar Coimbra por Lisboa, e vai exercer funções no Gabinete de Imprensa da FIL - Feira Industrial de Lisboa, até 1974.
Ainda em 1969 vê editado o álbum O Canto e as Armas, revelando, de novo, vários poemas de Manuel Alegre. Pela sua obra recebe, no mesmo ano, o Prémio Pozal Domingues. Lança Cantaremos, em 1970, e Gente d' aqui e de agora, em 1971, este último com o primeiro arranjo, como maestro, de José Calvário, e composição de José Niza. Em 1973 lança Fados de Coimbra, em disco, e funda a Editora Edicta, com Carlos Vargas, para se tornar produtor na Orfeu, em 1974.
Com a Revolução dos Cravos, Adriano Correia de Oliveira está entre os fundadores da Cooperativa Cantabril. Em 1975 lança Que nunca mais, onde se inclui o tema Tejo que levas as águas. A revista inglesa Music Week elege-o Artista do Ano. Em 1980 lançaria o seu último álbum, Cantigas Portuguesas, ingressando no ano seguinte na Cooperativa Era Nova, em ruptura com a Cantabril.
Vítima de uma hemorragia esofágica, morreu na quinta da família, em Avintes, nos braços da sua mãe.
A 24 de Setembro de 1983 foi feito Comendador da Ordem da Liberdade e a 24 de Abril de 1994 foi feito Grande-Oficial da Ordem do Infante D. Henrique, ambas as condecorações a título póstumo. A Câmara Municipal de Lisboa atribuiu o seu nome a uma rua em Entrecampos.
Eu canto para ti um mês de giestas
Um mês de morte e crescimento ó meu amigo
Como um cristal partindo-se plangente
No fundo da memória perturbada

Eu canto para ti um mês onde começa a mágoa
E um coração poisado sobre a tua ausência
Eu canto um mês com lágrimas e sol o grave mês
Em que os mortos amados batem à porta do poema

Porque tu me disseste quem em dera em Lisboa
Quem me dera me Maio depois morreste
Com Lisboa tão longe ó meu irmão tão breve
Que nunca mais acenderás no meu o teu cigarro

Eu canto para ti Lisboa à tua espera
Teu nome escrito com ternura sobre as águas
E o teu retrato em cada rua onde não passas
Trazendo no sorriso a flor do mês de Maio

Porque tu me disseste quem em dera em Maio
Porque te vi morrer eu canto para ti
Lisboa e o sol Lisboa com lágrimas
Lisboa a tua espera ó meu irmão tão breve
Eu canto para ti Lisboa à tua espera...

La Ia Ra La Na Ia Na Ia La Ia
La Ia Ra La Na Ia Na Ia
La Ra Ra
Lisboa à tua espera ó meu irmão tão breve.

"You Raise Me Up" originally titled Söknuður (Into the light) is an Icelandic song originally sung by Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson know as 'Villi Vill' in 1977. In 2002 Secret Garden released the song under the title 'You Raise Me Up'. This was an almost identical version of the 1977 song to which Secret Garden claimed to be original composed by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland, with lyrics by Brendan Graham. Icelandic Composer Jóhann Helgason filed a lawsuit claiming that the song is a copy. An English version of Söknuður has been released to underline the similarity between the two songs. After the song was performed early in 2002 by the Secret Garden and their invited lead singer, Brian Kennedy, the song only became a minor UK hit. The song has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists under the name 'You Raise Me Up' including Josh Groban, who popularized the song in 2003; his rendition became a hit in the United States. The Irish band Westlife then popularized the song in the UK and the rest of the world two years later. On 29 November.
"You Raise Me Up" was released as the lead single from Westlife's sixth studio album Face to Face. This version is one of the most successful covers of the song, peaking at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, the only version to do so. This was the band's 13th number-one single as well as the first single to be released following Brian McFadden departure from the group. It debuted with 97,288 combined physical and download sales in the UK alone. The single has sold 540,000 copies in the UK so far. In South Korea, it entered the Official South Korean Year-end Downloads Singles Chart in 2010 with 130,759 sales. Later, it stayed in the top 75 of the Official International Karaoke Charts since the inception of the charts in December 2010 up to its recent chart released.
Westlife performed this song with Secret Garden at the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize concert. On December 11, 2009, they performed it again at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize concert celebrating US President Barack Obama. The backing track is re-used in the Spanish version of this song, "Por Ti Sere", performed by Il Divo in their Siempre album. When Louis Walsh suggested the band to record it, Filan, Egan, Byrne, and Feehily were against it saying it was a church song, and would not be a success. They also said they did not want to record it. However, they have since claimed in 2011, six years after the single's release, that the song changed their careers and were glad they recorded it. It was composed in the traditional verse–chorus form in Eb major, with Filan and Feehily's vocal ranging from the chords of Bb3 to Bb5.
Westlife's official music video for "You Raise Me Up" was shot in late-2005 and is directed by Alex Hemming. It is currently the most played "You Raise Me Up" official music video version on YouTube with 73 million views as of January 2019. It is also their most-streamed single of all time with 19.7 million listens in the United Kingdom as of January 2019. It is the band's third best selling single of all-time on both paid-for and combined sales categories. While it is their eighth most streamed song of all time from their home country, the Republic of Ireland, as of 2 April 2019. It is the second best-selling single of 2005 in Ireland.
The song was reinstated in the live bonus disc album of the band's Greatest Hits in 2011. After the band broke up in 2012, the single was performed solo in many live instances by three of band members Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily. In 2018, the single was re-recorded by its member Shane Filan for his solo album Love Always - Deluxe Version. On 12 May 2018, the song was performed on South Korean music programme 'Immortal Songs 2' by Sohyang. Filan was the featured 'Legend' and judged the participants.
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

There is no life, no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

You raise me up
To more than I can be.

Pour ce regard d'autre fois
Pour ton amour qui s'en vas
Moi dans le silence, moi je pense

Toi, tu habites à l'Angleterre
Moi, je suis derrière la mer
Et dans le silence, moi je te cris

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny lady
Jenny, Jenny lady come back
Sans une dresse et sans tendresse
Mon coeur, mon coeur qui se détresse

Ta main trop loin de mes mains
Et mes yeux qui te cherchent en vain
Et dans le silence moi je pense.

Un soldado a casa hoy regreso
Y un niño enfermo se curo
Y hoy no hay trabajo entre el bosque de la lluvia
Un desamparado se salvo por causa de una buena acción
Y hoy nadie lo repudia
Alelujah!

Un ateo que consiguió creer
Y un hambriento hoy tiene de comer
Y hoy donaron a una iglesia una fortuna
Que la guerra pronto se acabara
Que en el mundo al fin reinara la paz
Que no habra miseria alguna
Alelujah!

Porque la norma sea el amor
Y no gobierne la corrupción
Sino lo bueno y lo mejor del alma pura
Porque Dios nos proteja de un mal final
Porque un día podamos escarmentar
Con que acaben con tanta furia
Alelujah!
