Laura Pausini talks about re-recording “ Quando Chove ” with Sandy and her passion for Brazil Thirty-two years after Patrícia Marx asked Brazil to sing the song " Quando Chove " and featured the track in the soap opera " A Viagem " as the soundtrack for the character Diná, Laura Pausini re-recorded the song. The launch took place this Thursday (6). For the project, the Italian artist called on Sandy, a singer with whom she has a long-standing partnership. When speaking to g1 about the musical project, Laura was surprised to learn that the song written by Patrícia was the soundtrack for a soap opera. And upon discovering that a film based on the 1994 work is being produced, she showed interest in wanting to put her version in the film project. "I want the music to be part of this. Who do I need to talk to? I didn't know that [the song] was part of a soap opera and I didn't know that now they're going to make a film. People, director, I don't know who! Sandy and I will be very happy if you want our version. It would be a really cool thing. Because it's true. It has a story", stated the singer during the interview.

The first work, the album "Io Canto", came out in 2006. And, in February 2026, the second album was born, featuring among the tracks the Italian version of the song. With great success in Brazil, " Quando Chove " is a version of the song "Quanno Chiove", recorded by Italian singer Pino Daniele in 1980. "This song is Italian, but he sang it in Neapolitan, which is a wonderful language. Imagine my emotion when I discovered that this song was already known in Brazil", said the artist. Laura also praised the version sung by Patrícia Marx and composed by Nelson Motta: "It's very respectful of the original." She also celebrated the duet with Sandy, which she purposely saved to be released as a single. "I have great admiration for her as a person and also for the wonderful voice she has. A very sweet voice. It's very difficult to find people who sing like that and, at the same time, are like that. It's a wonderful gift she gave me." The Italian artist also revealed that, when calling on the Brazilian, she hardly knew her opinion on the track. "When I invited her, I didn't know if she liked it, if she knew the song. But she said that, during her childhood and adolescence, this was a song that really marked her personal life." "Make music, not war" Laura Pausini on the Oscar 2021 red carpet Chris Pizzello/AP Sandy and Laura recorded a music video for the song. The video, recorded in Milan, has the phrase "Make music, not war" at the end. Asked about the intention behind using the phrase, Laura Pausini explained that the entire album "Io Canto 2" is dedicated to this message. "I strongly believe that peace exists and that it is us, human beings, who create it. And each of us can seek to live in peace with our talent. Mine is singing. And music is a way to reach many people with this message." "In times of war – and, unfortunately, I need to speak in the plural --, it is a very strong and very true message. I want to make music, not war, and give a gift of peace." Connection with Portuguese Laura Pausini receives award for Best Pop Album at the 2018 Latin Grammy Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP In her re-recording of "When it rains", Laura Pausini appears with sharp Portuguese. The Italian says that her best friend is from São Paulo and lives in São Paulo. And, in addition, she has many affectionate memories with Brazil. That's why she has Portuguese as her heart language. "I remember that the first songs I wanted my father to play for me to listen to when I was a girl were Brazilian. And when I touched Brazilian land in 1994 with my feet, I felt something inside me. An incredible and unforgettable thing," he says. "I believe that, in my previous life, I was Brazilian, because I understand many things about Brazil, understanding very well some ways of thinking and speaking. Portuguese is my favorite language. So singing, which is the thing I love most, and in Portuguese -- both things together -- it's like making love."
