Lullaby!
Gosto do som que aqui deixo: que me deixo, que lhe deixo se ele me visitar, que deixo a quem passar por aqui.

Nem sempre uma maçã brilhante e de aparência sadia tem um interior saudável.
Ora.. se considerarmos que
a metáfora se pode utilizar numa simples constatação de "post" de blog sem pertensões,
acho que podemos aplicar este princípio entre os humanos.
Ou será que não?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A shiny and healthy looking apple hasn't always a healthy interior.
Well... taking in mind
a metaphor can be used in a simple motto to be posted in an ordinary blog,
I think we can take the above sentence like a principle to be applied to humans too.
Or can't we??

"Babel"icar
nos tempos que correm
que poderá estar aqui a razão
para este global desvario de "blablablas"
em que
todos dizem e não se entendem... ~~~~~~~~~~
There's so much
"babel"ing
nowadays
that perhaps we have here the reasons
why this global "blablabla" insanity exists,
this global insanity
where all say something and all misunderstand one another.

He was one of my idols...
I came to think of him today... I don't know why ...

HOW TO MAKE A POEM
If we’re going to talk about how to make a poem,
rhetoric has nothing to do with it. It’s simpler than that, and doesn’t
require subtleties or formulas. Pick
a flower, for example, but not one of those flowers that grow
in the middle of fields, nor the ones they sell in stores,
or in the markets. A flower of syllables rather, in which the
petals are vowels, and the stem is the consonant. Place it
in the vase of the stanza, and let it be. So that it doesn’t die,
it’s enough to put a little Spring in the water, which,
on a rainy day, is fetched from the imagination,
or is pushed in through the window when the cool air
of morning fills the blue room. This is when
the flower begins to seem like a poem, but it’s still not
the poem. For it to really sprout, the flower needs
to find more natural colors than those
which nature gave it. They might be the colors
of your complexion – its whiteness, when the sun falls on you,
or the depths of your eyes in which all the colors
of life mix with the sheen of life. After that,
I pour these colors over the corolla, and watch them descend
to the leaves, like sap which runs through
the invisible veins of the soul. I can then pick the flower,
and what I have in my hand is this poem
that you gave me.

Quem era anjo passou a diabo... De um dia para o outro.
Qual será a próxima metamorfose? ~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday a devil, now an angel!
Who was the angel is now a devil. From night to day.
Which metamorphosis will happen next?

Esperei por a sua exibição cá no Porto e ... não fui defraudada.
Um óptimo espectáculo que não fica atrás de produções internacionais.
Parabéns, Filipe La Feria, Anabela, Carlos Quintas e a todos que participam neste musical.
It wasn't at Politeama. It was at Rivoli instead.
I've waited for the show to come to Porto... I didn't get deceived.
A great musical that international productions don't minimise.

I believe I can fly
Iused to think that i could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(oh) I believe I can fly
See iI was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
(repeat 2 with a change: instead of "if i can see it then i can do it", is "if
I can see it, then I can be it", 1...)
Could I believe in it?

If my thoughts had colour
They'd have the colour of the Feeling
I feel each of my thoughts has.

Conheço-a desde sempre...
Tenho uma admiração enorme por aquilo que faz e pelo que ela é como pessoa.
Previ um Grande Futuro para esta Grande Senhora por quem nutro um Carinho do tamanho do Mundo!
Amanhã é o voltar de uma folha na sua vida particular que quero plena de Felicidade.
~~~~~~~~~~
I've always known her...
I admire her for what she does professionally and as a person.
I've always expected this Great Young Lady I am so very much fond of to have a Great Future .
Tomorrow is a special day in her private life. I want her to ever be the Happiest Woman on Earth.

De papel em papel, cheguei a um livrinho que me deram pelo meu aniversário este ano.
Fala de Amizade em perspectivas diversas.
Delas retirei o seguinte vindo de Emmanuel Kant
"A Amizade é como um bom café; uma vez frio, não se aquece sem perder bastante do sabor primitivo."
com o que concordo em absoluto.
~~~~~~~~~
Going through papers I came across with little book I was offered as birthday present this year.
Its content is on the different nuances of Friendship.
That's where I took the follwoing by Emmanuel Kant:
"Friendship is like a good coffee; once it gets cold, you won't have it tasting so well as before".
I absolutely agree with it.
