You are my girl...

2008-06-06T09:50:00.001+01:00

I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.

Requiem
She cries… its freedom that we need, but I have yet to see a cause to believe
(I need to feel it, please just let me feel all right)
it comes in waves of need, ten ways to make you bleed before you get to die
can we give it one more shot, have we thrown all hope away,
does it have to be this painful just to make it through?
this is not our requiem, we’re wasting time as victims
why spend our lives on bended knee, choosing not to be free?
He sighs… I’m quickly burning out all that’s left of me are jaded memories
(I need to feel it please just let me feel all right)
of what I could have been if I had only been less of what they wanted
and we’re still here, all together, and all alone
consumed with fear that one day we’ll discover,
how empty we’ve become
restricted and ashamed, we crave what they provide us,
so we’ll never feel alone
I am now just learning to breathe

Simplesmente Rita...

2008-05-16T15:31:00.001Z

Only you
Can make all this world seem right,
Only you
Can make the darkness bright,
Only you, and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And do fill my heart with love for only you.
Only you
Can make all this change in me,
For it's true
You are my destiny.
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you.
Only you
Can make all this change in me,
For it's true
You are my destiny.
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you.

Mal eu imaginava ao que ia assistir...
Ao fim da 2ª música tornou-se claro que ia assistir a algo especial!
A empatia, a simpatia, a voz, a atitude, até as cuspidelas para o chão, fazem desta senhora um verdadeiro ícone do rock 'n roll.
Um dos melhores concertos que assisti até hoje!

Não gosto de pessoas que sacodem a água do capote, chutam para canto, olham para o lado...chame-lhe o que quiserem!
Não gosto mesmo de pessoas que não assumem responsabilidades, não dêem a cara pelo que são ou pelo que fazem.
Não gosto de pessoas que, perante um problema ou uma adversidade, a sua primeira pergunta seja “De quem foi a culpa?”.
Gosto mais de pessoas que dizem “Como se resolve?”.
Felizmente orgulho-me de pertencer a este grupo de pessoas...

RITA...I was made for You!

2007-10-03T14:54:00.000Z

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I've been down - I've been beat
I've been so tired - that I could not speak
I've been so lost that I could not see
I wanted things that were out of reach
then I found you and you helped me through
and ya showed me what to do
And that's why I'm comin' back to you...

Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
that's how your love will take me home back to you
And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are
I know that day is coming soon - ya,
I'm coming back to you.
You've been alone, but ya did not show it
You've been in pain, but did not know it
Let me do what I needed to – you were there when I needed you
Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round
but ya never changed your point of view
and that's why I'm comin' back to you...

I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you
That day is coming soon

I'm coming back to you

Back to You, Bryan Adams

Tão simples, não é?

Your worst enemy is your self
Who do you believe in?
Well I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight, or give in?
I'll stop at nothing, to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, they believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing

Self doubt has been getting the best of me
For way to long
I've been fighting this, fighting this all my life
Now I'm ready for it to be gone
I know I have the courage
I know I have the strength too
I know I have the will
The power to do what I want to do

Adapt and overcome
Rise above all those mistakes and flaws
I'll learn from it, and then
I'll climb every obstacle and every wall

Who do you believe in?
Believe in your self now
Who do you believe in?
Well I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight, or give in?
I'll stop at nothing, to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, the believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing

Adapt and Overcome, Madball

All roads lead the same direction
we all see eye to eye
won't stand for a bad connection
we came to keep things tight
prove this, prove that
proving is nothing
let's all just be ourselves
focused with the right aggression
turn to each other for help
people merge on state of mind from all
different walks of life
don't need any more stupid division
don't need to feel uptight

Brother - I'll always look out for you
if I feel it back
Sister - we'll brave the outside world
off the beaten track
When it's us vs. them
you can always count on me When it's us vs. them
it's a global unity

Open the extended family
the family is growing fast
friendship will transcend the borders
the world is shrinking fast
Cities merge on state of mind
there's nothing wrong with that
don't need any more stupid division
don't fall for their trap

Brother - I'll always look out for you
if I feel it back
Sister - we'll brave the outside world
off the beaten track
When it's us vs. them
you can always count on me When it's us vs. them
it's a global unity

Us vs Them, SOIA

Para ti meu AMOR!

2007-06-26T12:18:00.001Z

Só para ti...
Tens sido a minha luz, em tanta escuridão, conseguiste manter-te firme, consegues ser o meu farol, levando-me para a tua segurança, quando tudo abana tu continuas forte...Obrigado Ritinha!

You were the light in the darkness that I lived in
full of redemption and sin
Even though I was surrounded by the best of friends
My future was looking dim
You gave me hope in a time when I lost control
About to lose my soul
You picked me up from the gutters that I once roamed
Helped my see what I now know

When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope
You gave me all I need
You set me free
When I fought against myself, to be as good as I can be
You gave me strength; you gave me what I need
You’re everything to me

In the darkest of days you came into my life
It was full of so much strife
Self-destruction was the name of the game that I played
You reinforced the values that I had lost
At no price or cost
And even when I slipped into the darkness again
You fought to bring me back in

I hope you know what you mean to me
You mean everything
I hope you know that
I’d do anything for you , I mean anything
You made a man out of me
When I thought I knew it all
I knew nothing
You brought me hope in my darkest days
I love you more than anything

When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope, you gave me all I need
You set me free
When I fought against myself to be as good as I could be
You gave me strength
You gave me all I need
You’re always there for me

Darkest Days, Madball

Sometimes everything looks so dark...

2007-06-26T12:08:00.000Z

Tão escuro...
Às vezes tudo nos parece sem fim, sem luz...quando é difícil exprimir em palavras socorro-me das palavras dos outros

Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (the anguish)
As it mocks me
Crawling back into the dark

Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper i'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly decending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper i'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly decending
Into the arms of sorrow

The demons of my own design
This horror must not remain

Deeper i'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly decending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

There must be deliverance

Deeper i'm falling

Blindly decending

Deeper i'm falling

Mais uma vez...uma música que trago sempre comigo (esta está mesmo comigo sempre) que me diz muito, podem dar-lhe as interpretações que quiserem mas para mim tem só uma!
Tenho saudades tuas e estaremos juntos em dia destes...See you soon

Numb and broken,
Here I stand alone,
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way
To turn back time,
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold.
The smile the face of love,
You never left me,
The rising sun
Will always speak your name.

Numb, i'm broken
Here i stand alone.
Wondering the words,
The last words i said to you
It won't be long
We'll meet again...

What would i give, to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun
Will always speak your name

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

I mourn for those who never knew you

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

Rose Of Sharyn, KSE

This is how I feel today...

2007-06-15T16:19:00.000Z

O meu pai gostava muito desta música.
Achava ele, e depois eu, que esta era uma música que o Variações escreveu plenamente consciente da sua existência, digamos, diferente e que o seu tempo estava a acabar, mas que não seria por isso que deixaria de ser ele mesmo, e que isso mesmo lhe dava um gozo tremendo, ser diferente...Já existem demasiadas pessoas iguais

Vou viver até quando eu não sei que me importa o que serei
quero é viver
amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será mais um prazer
e a vida é sempre uma curiosidade que me desperta com a idade
interessa-me o que está para vir
a vida em mim é sempre uma certeza que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir
encontrar, renovar, vou fugir ao repetir vou viver,
até quando, eu não sei que me importa o que serei quero é viver
amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será mais um prazer
a vida é sempre uma curiosidade que me desperta com idade
interessa-me o que está para vir
a vida, em mim é sempre uma certeza que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir
encontrar, renovar vou fugir ao repetir
vou viver até quando eu não sei que me importa o que serei
quero é viver,
amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será mais um prazer

2007-01-23T14:06:00.000Z

Tenho saudades tuas...
Cedo demais...é só o que consigo dizer...
Sei também o que ele me diria, como tantas vezes o repetiu...

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst
That you must not quit.

Here I am!

Fim de semana extraordinaire.
Toda a gente me trata maravilhosamente, sem excepção, Tias Lé, Mary e Lice e respectivos, as manas Teresinha e Nucha e por aí fora...tive até direito a visita guiada à MTL pelo papá Ramalho.
Um destaque especial para a mamã Lina que me trata com uma simpatia tremenda.
Obrigado meu amor por mais 3 dias fantásticos...anseio por muitos mais!

UNS

Thinking back on what we had
want to give in, want to give up
despair washes over you
where do you go, what will you do
your mind is racing in a million directions all at once
where will you turn
you're not in this all alone
just look around, and you'll see
the answers right before your eyes
I'm here for you, and you for me
It's hard to open up, just try and you'll see
True friends will always be there

Thinking back on what we had
all those times we shared
all those times good and bad
our growing friendship has formed a bond
Never ending
You were there through it all, now it's my turn
there's no doubt, good lookin' out
when life's not fair
True friends will always be there

Good Lookin' Out - SOIA

E OUTROS

Call me a friend but you stab me in the back
you pretend we get along, it's all just an act
you always use people to get what you need
you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed
all you do is take and you never once give
don't you have any shame, the life that you live
We don't need you, you fucking scum
hope that friends like you will never come
when things turn bad for you, don't count on me
cause I'll turn my back on you as you did to me

We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
I said, we don't need friends like you ... yes

Call me a friend but you stab me in the back
you pretend we get along, it's all just an act
you always use people to get what you need
you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed
all you do is take and you never once give
don't you have any shame, the life that you live

Only You

Para ti...por apareceres e me surpreenderes todos os dias

This is for the one who saved me
accepts me for who i am, just me
and always gives back tenfold whatever i give

Respect was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated
mutual ideals and passion straight from the soul, from my soul

When i'm safely in your arms there i find my sanctuary
help me weather every storm, you're my sanctuary, my true love

There are those who tried to use you
even ones who would abuse you
they never took the time to see what i see
how you're always waiting for me kept me sane while all was crazy
and so i give you what's dearest to me

My true love the very first time you touched my soul
from that day on never want to let you go

O meu pequeno Buda

Este pequeno lutador tem sido o meu companheiro de todas as horas...já lá vão 6 anos!
A sua perseverança e tenacidade têm sido inspiradoras.

Today...

Começa hoje a aventura...a minha aventura, que espero não desleixar ou deixar cair no esquecimento.
Nada seria mais adequado para partilhar que um poema de Rudyard Kipling que me foi passado pelo meu Avô Toni...

Avô Toni

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

IF - Rudyard Kipling
