added to the chorus

my suggestion,
I would go for the literate translation, I think it sounds right and it does transmit the same meaning as in PT...meaning many voices are getting together and 'singing the same discontent'.

That's exactly it! Groups of people that speak out for the same idea or protest...when a 'chorus' of people beleive in the same thing or fight for the same thing! Great reference that you found Tissot! Have a great night!

Thank you Ãmy, have a great night!
agree AlexMiranda : how about "join" the chorus? That would preserve the source's active voice (no pun intended)?
