Rävala
(redirected from Revelia)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Rävala 

a coastal region (maakond) in North Estonia, in what is now Harju Raion, Estonian SSR. Rävala consisted of three territorial unions (kihelkonds). The center of the region in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries was a fortress known as Kolõvan’ or Lindanise. Under Danish rule, the region was united with the region of Harju and given the name Harjumaa (Harden). The old name of Tallinn, Revel (or Reval), derives from the name of the region.

Revelia had decided to accept and follow the EKL decisions on mensuurs.
Antigamente', like the other fados that denounce the Salvacao Barreto project, romanticizes the Mouraria's infamous past of brothels and fado: Antigamente Era coito a Mouraria Daquela gente Condenada C revelia E o fado ameno Cancao das mais portuguesas Era o veneno P'ra lhes matar as tristezas.
