Like You Love Me

Uma das minhas canções favoritas é esta. Pertence a uma cantora de seu nome Lucie Silvas. Quando ponho uma canção aqui no blog é porque esta me diz algo, e esta diz muito...mesmo muito.

One of my favourite songs is this one. Belongs to a singer called Lucie Silvas. When I put song lyrics in the blog it's because it means something to me and this one means a lot...really a lot.

Woah... mm mmm
Its not every day you wake up
And admit who you really are
Most days its easier to shut yourself up
And never look that far
This is me, I'm covered
What I hid behind the door
And everything she says angers
I'm apologizing for

[Chorus:]
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her....like you love me?
Like you love me
Ohh, like you love me
Woahhh....Id rather be who you think I am
See myself through your eyes
Cos the mirror you use cant be too harsh
And I want it to tell me lies
So today I'll be brave and I'll face myself
Show you who I really am
Cos wherever I go she follows me
can you reach out for her hand?

[Chorus:]
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
Ohh, And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her....like you love me?
I'm not perfect but I try to be
Oh, could you really have the hold in me
Sometimes what you get isn't what you see
Could you believe in her, like you believe in me?
Ohhh.....hey hey, yeh yeh...ohh woah..
Mmm...do you love her, woah...
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her...woah
Do you see her when you see me
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, and accept the part she plays in me
Could you love her.........like you love me?
Like you love me
Ohh...like you love me
Woah, like you....love me....

Frase da Semana / Quote of the Week

Andei ausente dos blogs durante um tempo por falta de pc mas espero retomar a actividade para tristeza de alguns e alegrias de muitos.

E aqui vai de novo a frase de semana...

"Na matemática do amor, um mais um é igual a tudo, e dois menos um é igual a nada."

(by Mignon Mclaughlin)

I have been away for sometime from my blog because I didn't have a computer available to use it. But here I am again. For some it's a reason of sadness but for many it's a motive of satisfaction to have me back.

Here goes this weeks quote...

"In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing."

(by Mignon McLaughlin)

Then You Look at Me / The Colour of my Love

Esta parte do Blog é dedicada a uma pessoa em particular / This part of the Blog is dedicated to one person in particular.

My Love..these ones are for you...I dedicate them to you.... "AMO-TE STEF!!!"

With all my love for you...

Laugh and cry
Live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming
Day by day
I find my way
Look for the soul and the meaning
Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
People run
Sun to sun
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun
Life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going

Chorus
And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you
From...you

I'll paint my mood in shades of blue

Paint my soul to be with you

I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones

Draw your mouth to my own

I'll draw your arms around my waist

Then all doubt I shall erase

I'll paint the rain that softly lands on your wind-blown hair

I'll trace a hand to wipe your tears

A look to calm your fears

A silhouette of dark and light

While we hold each other oh so tight

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart

Swearing that we'll never part

That's the colour of my love

I'll paint the truth

Show how I feel

Try to make you completely real

I'll use a brush so light and fine

To draw you close and make you mine

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart

Swearing that we'll never part

That's the colour of my love

I'll draw the years all passing by

So much to learn so much to try

And with this ring our lives will start

Swearing that we'll never part

I offer what you cannot buy

Devoted love until we die

(By Celine Dion)

(You're always in my thoughts Stef...I LOVE YOU)

Who Wants to Live Forever?

Esta sempre foi uma das minhas canções favoritas. De que vale realmente a vida e de que vale a pena vive-la quando não se tem objectivos, quando não se tem uma familia, amigos...alguém que realmente nos faça feliz (amigos e não só....) Tudo isto me deixa a pensar e às vezes, não sei...parece tudo um sonho porque uma pessoa nunca o é ou será totalmente feliz com o que tem.

This song was always one of my favourite songs. What is life worth and why is it worth living if we don't have any objectives, when we don't have a family, friends...someone that really can make you happy (friends and more). All this makes me think. I don't know...seems like everything is a dream because one is never or will never be happy with what his got.

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

(by Freddie Mercury)

Dolce Vita Porto

O Porto passou a contar desde ontem dia 06 Maio com mais uma superfície comercial, desta vez de mais um grupo económico nortenho, o grupo Amorim.

O Dolce Vita Porto está inserido naquilo que vai ser a nova Cidade das Antas ou melhor a "Antas Lifestyle"

Tive o privilégio de ter sido uma das pessoas a estrear esta nova grande obra do Porto (e muito polémica aquando da sua construção) e fiquei fascinado. Posso dizer com toda a certeza que este é o shopping mais bonito que a cidade do Porto (e arredores) tem e com certeza, um dos mais bonitos do país.

O Dolce Vita em números:

129 Lojas distribuidas por 5 pisos

1 Hipermercado Continente

Cerca de 30 Restaurantes

7 Salas de Cinema Lusomundo, todas elas VIP

2200 Lugares para estacionar

O Dolce Vita em fotos:

Casa da Música (House of Music)

Finalmente a obra de referência da cidade do Porto vai ser inaugurada após um atraso de 4 anos na sua construção, mas valeu a pena porque vai ser com toda a pompa e circunstância.

Projectada por Rem Koolhas para ser a obra mais importante da Porto 2001, atrasos fizeram com que a mesma não fizesse parte da capital europeia da cultura.

Já votada pelo jornal "New York Times" como uma das grandes obras mais importantes do Séc XX/XXI.

Se quiserem ver a Casa da Música mais em detalhe vejam então o artigo online do "New York Times" aqui (tem audio em inglês)

Que se faça a música na Casa da Música!

Isto sim é que se chama de grande pássaro / This is in fact a big bird

Uma das minhas grandes paixões sempre foram os aviões. Como nasci na África do Sul, desde bébé que me habituei a andar de avião, desde o mais pequeno, até mesmo ao majestoso 747, mas o reinado deste está quase no fim. Eis que surge o A380...para mim, dos aviões mais lindos que existe. Pena que não o possamos ver em Portugal porque os aeroportos ainda não estão preparados para ele devido às suas dimensões.

One of my big passions is without doubt, planes. Because I was born in South Africa (and I live in Portugal), since very young I got used to travel by plane, from the smallest to the magestic 747 but her reign is almost ending. Here comes the A380...for me one of the most beautiful planes ever built. It's a pitty that we can't see them in Portugal becuase the portuguese airports are not yet prepared for birds that size.

A isto chamo eu de grande pássaro...

This is what I call a big bird...

Papa João Paulo II / Pope John Paul II

Uma vez que estive ausente não pude prestar a minha devida homenagem a tempo.
Aqui vai...à memória de um grande homem que soube aproximar os jovens à igreja e soube respeitar raças, credos e religiões (não sendo eu católico, isto diz-me muito). Que a memória dele seja eterna e que viva agora na paz dos anjos que ele bem merece.

Because I wasn't at home these past two weeks I couldn't pay my respects to Pope John Paul II but today being the last day of the funeral I decided to write something.
He was a great man that knew how to approach the youth to the church and respected races, creeds and religions (not being catholic myself).
That his memory lives long and that he can rest now in the peace of the angels that he deserves it.

Frase da Semana / Quote of the Week

Pois é meus amigos e amigas, cá estou eu de volta após duas semanas de ausência (que me souberam bastante bem, devo confessar).

Hi my friends, here I am back in action after a 2 week period away from my hometown (it was very well worth it, I have to confess).

Aqui vai então a frase desta semana...

"A tua forma de estar na vida é nada mais que um reflexo do teu estado de alma."
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Here is this week's quote...

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Nothing Else Matters

Quando se gosta, nada mais importa mesmo
When we like someone...nothing else really matters...

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

O único homem que não erra é aquele que nunca faz nada.

V: The Second Generation

Como eu dei a conhecer num post anterior, a série de culto V que estreou em 1983 em todo o mundo, vai ter uma remake. Chama-se The Second Generation e encontra-se já em produção devendo estrear mais lá para o fim do ano. Os fãs desta série e adeptos deste tipo de ficção que aguardem que teremos mais da Diana e companhia já que o elenco creio que será basicamente o mesmo, isto apesar uma consulta exaustiva na net.

Synopsis:

"O telefilme de 3 horas será chamado de V A Segunda Geração e será realizado, escrito e produzido por Kenneth Johnson, o criador da série original. Johnson está em conversações com o elenco original da série, incluindo Marc Singer, Robert Englund, Jane Badler e Faye Grant para que voltem de novo ao telefilme. A segunda geração tem lugar 20 anos após a série original, com os extraterrestres tidos como senhores da Terra. A força extraterrestre está bem fixada e conseguiu que muitos humanos se tornassem seus seguidores e indo a caminho duma nova e perigosa conquista. A resistência continua a luta que parece perdida quando de repente a Terra ganha um poderoso e misterioso novo aliado."

As I told previously in a past post, the cult series V that was first broadcasted in 1983 worldwide, will have a remake. It's called V The Second Generation and is already in production maybe being broadcasted at the end of the year. The fans and followers of this type of fiction, keep waiting and we'll have more news of Diana and company, because I believe the cast will be mostly all of the one from the past series, after consulting the web searching for news.

Synopsis:

"The three-hour television movie will be called V: The Second Generation and will be directed, written and produced by Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original. Johnson is in talks with the original stars of V, including Marc Singer, Robert Englund, Jane Badler and Faye Grant about returning for the film. The Second Generation is set 20 years after the original, with the alien Visitors firmly ensconced as masters of the Earth. The alien force is deeply entrenched, has turned many Earth people into followers and is sweeping them toward a dangerous new conquest. The Resistance seems to be fighting a losing battle when suddenly Earth gains a powerful and mysterious new ally."

V: A Batalha Final / V: The Original Series

Fiquei a saber hoje que uma das minhas séries favoritas ia ter um remake. Quem não se lembra daqueles aliens que se vestiam de vermelho, que tinham a voz disturcida e no seu interior eram repteis?

Pois é...vai haver um remake da mini série original, realizada em 1983. Quanto às 2 seguintes ainda n se sabe se vão ter direito a remake. Trata-se da V: Batalha Final e V: A Série.

Aguardo com expectativa para saber mais novidades sobre a mesma. Os novos actores e o enredo.

Quanto à antiga série...aguarda-se também que algum dos canais portugueses volte a transmitir a série que tanto sucesso teve mundo fora.

Fiquem atentos para novidades!

"WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS" V "UNIVERSAL PEACE"

I discovered today that one of my favourite tv shows was going to have a remake. Who doesn't remember those red dressed aliens, with strange voice and lizard skin beneath the human form?

That's right...almost 25 years after it's first release, the original show (season 1 from 1983) is going to have a remake. As for the other 2, The Final Battle and the Tv series, nothing much has been told if there is going to be a remake or not.

I'm waiting to know more news about the show. The new actors and storyline.

Keep in touch!

What you're made of

Obrigado por me teres mandado este música. Puseste-me a ouvi-la o dia todo e a pensar na vida. É simplesmente linda. Mais uma vez...obrigado.

Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim'
Cause I chose the water that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this'
Cause there's only one thing I want

If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way,
You're changing,
Cause some things will just never be mine,Y
ou're in not love this time...
but it's alright.

I hear you talking, but your words don't mean a thing
I doubt you ever put your heart into anything
It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in
But I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrongI
deserve much more than this'
Cause there's only one thing I want

If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for

Only You

Todos me tem perguntado como eu ando, o porquê de andar muito calado. Aqui tem a resposta...
Apenas ando um pouco mais introspéctivo...

This is how I'm feeling this moment...

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.

I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.
(by Mandy Moore)

A Boy Can Dream

This song is dedicated to you. I'm thinking of you...always...

When I was a child the story would say
Somebody would sweep you off your feet someday
That's what I hoped would happen with you
More than you could know
I wanted to tell you that my heart's in your hands
I prayed for the day that I would get the chance
Just when I worked up the courage to try
Much to my surprise
You had somebody else
Cause these feelings
I keep to myself

I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you good night
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems
I always will be wishing you were mine
I think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a boy can dream

From the moment I wake up
Till I fall asleep
I imagine you not with him
But with me
Talking and laughing
Sharing our dreams
It's just a fantasy
Cause you had somebody else
Cause these feelings
I keep to myself

A boy can dream it's true
And to call you my own
Is the sweetest dream you know

Oh a boy can dream

Onde estás? / Where are You?

Hoje decidi sair um pouco do mundo da prosa e arriscar-me a fazer algo mais. Confesso que não tenho muito jeito mas ao menos não posso dizer que não tentei. Espero que gostem. Pelo menos foi feito com sentimento e tem um pouco a ver com o que sinto de momento. Depois dêem a vossa opinião, thanks.

Perdido no sonho
penso em ti...

Onde estás?

Procuro...
Procuro! Mas não encontro
Desejo...
e não te posso tocar
Imagino...
o teu cheiro, o teu tacto, o teu olhar.

Onde estás?

Sonho no dia
mesmo numa noite fria
que batas à porta
da minha alma já morta
nesta solidão que atormenta
apesar deste amor que me alimenta.

Onde estás?

Olha para mim...
neste horizonte sem fim.
Toca-me com a tua mão.
Sorri...
Com um brilho nos olhos
sinto...
és mesmo tu o dono do meu coração!
(by R... aka Capricornking)

*************************

Today I decided to go a little bit further at my blog and do something more. I don't really know how to write poems but at least I try eheh. Hope you like it. It was done by the heart and has to do with what I'm feeling at the moment. Give me your opinion, thanks.

Lost in my dreams
I think about you..

Where are you?

I'm searching..
Searching! But I can't find you
Desire you...
but I can't have you.
Imagine you...
your smell, your touch, your eyes

Where are you?
I dream of day
even on a cold night
that you nock on the door
of my already dead soul
in this solitude that torments me
although I have all this love that nourishes me

Where are you?

Look at me...
on this never ending horizon
touch me with your hand
smile...
with a glow in my eyes
I feel...
it's really you the owner of my heart!
(by R... Capricornking)

Where Dreams come true

************************************************

Gostava de dar por mim num lugar destes, deserto, porque não, com a pessoa que amo...não me preocupar com nada a não ser em mim e na outra pessoa. Contemplar o por do sol e sentir que a vida ainda nos reserva muitas supresas...muitas coisas boas...

Esta Semana...

Não sei que se passou comigo esta semana. Andava muito deprimido. Não falava com ninguém. Chorava pelos cantos.
Será da idade? Não sei...só sei que ando assim...deprimo com facilidade e sinto-me muito sozinho a maioria das vezes.
Valeu-me o apoio dos amigos que me aconselharam e ainda bem...Só posso mesmo agradecer a eles o que tem feito por mim...
Acredito que isto tenha tudo a ver com o facto de passar muito tempo em casa. Quem me conhece sabe os motivos.
Falta-me o meu braço direito...haverá aí algum candidato? Tenho boas referencias se for preciso eheheheheh.
Vamos a ver se este fim de semana me ajuda a ficar mais calmo que bem preciso.
Acredito que a vida é para ser vivida com calma...Tudo isto que eu passo e é passageiro. Hei de me sentir realizado um dia ;-)
Um beijo grande a todos os que me aturam todos os dias, seja aqui seja pessoalmente...
Deste vosso sempre chato amigo

Field of Innocence

Muitas vezes fico a pensar nos meus tempos de criança, em como não tinha precupações. Podia divertir-me, brincar, sem que as coisas fossem levadas a mal. Gostava que esse tempo nunca tivesse deixado de existir...que no fundo a minha vida tivesse parado no tempo e que não me tivesse tornado talvez na pessoa que me tornei. Acima de tudo, que fosse tudo diferente...

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

I still remember.....
(by Evanescence)

La Solitudine / Loneliness

Sempre gostei imenso desta música...é nos momentos em que me sinto mais sozinho que esta música tem mais significado para mim...

Marco se n'è andato e non ritorna più
E il treno delle 7:30 senza lui
È un cuore di metallo senza l'anima
Nel freddo del matino grigio di città
A scuola il banco è vuoto, Marco è dentro me
È dolce il suo respiro fra i pensieri miei
Distanze enormi sembrano dividerci
Ma il cuore batte forte dentro me

Chissà se tu mi penserai
Se con i tuoi non parli mai
Se ti nascondi come me
Sfuggi gli sguardi e te ne stai

Rinchiuso in camera e non vuoi mangiare
Stringi forte al te il cuscino
Piangi non lo sai
Quantro altro male ti farà la solitudine

Marco nel mio diario ho una fotografia
Hai gli occhi di bambino un poco timido
La stringo forte al cuore e sento che ci sei
Fra i compiti d'inglese e mathematica

Tuo padre e i suoi consigli che monotonia
Lui con il suo lavoro ti ha portato via
Di certo il tuo parere non l'ha chiesto mai
Ha detto 'un giorno tu mi capirai'

Chissà se tu mi penserai
Se con gli amici parlerai
Per non soffrire più per me
Ma non è facile lo sai

A scuola non ne posso più
E i pommeriggi senza te
Studiare è inutile tutte le idee
Si affollano su te

Non è possibile dividere
La vita di noi due
Ti prego aspettami amore mio
Ma illuderti non so

La solitudine fra noi
Questo silenzio dentro me
È l'inquietudine di vivere
La vita senza te

Ti prego aspettami perché
Non posso stare senza te
Non è possibile dividere
La storia di noi due
(by Laura Pausini)

I don't even know if he still thinks of me

Once he got onboard that unforgiving train

I imagine that he whiled away the time

Through the cold gray morning and the city rain

Thinking of somebody else who'll run to him

Who'll ask him did you miss me, maybe now and then

Laughing he'll say well he met this funny girl

But just a summer thing he won't see her again

Oh God I hope I'm wrong

But I'm not feeling very strong

I've been so up and down so sad

So happy, feeling good and bad

I'm young I'm old I laught I cry

I tell the truth but that a lie

I've been so in and out so wild

So well behaved so pure defiled oh solitudine

That word I hate to say

And no I was not crazy to do what we did

I even wish I'd been a bit more crazy still

And kept a little more of him to see me through

He loved me all he could I never had my fill

And then I'm back inside my room he knows so well

I feel again the way he moved I take it slow

I talk to him and he becomes a part of me

And then I know he'll never let the summer go

Oh God I hope I'm right

I won't give in without a fight

And I can take the words they throw

At me for none of could know

That we had something few

Will ever find their whole life through

I wouldn't change a single day

Although the price I have to pay is solitudine

The loneliness is tearing me apart

It tears me up it pull me down and then

It wraps around my heart oh solitudine

Does he remenber all he said to me

I'm young I'm old I laugh I cry

I tell the truth but that's a lie

I've been so in and out so wild

So well behaved so pure defiled oh solitudine

Does he remember all he said to me

And I can take the words they throw

At me for none of could know

That we had something few

Will ever find their whole life through

I wouldn't change sigle day

Although the price I have to pay is solitudine

Dreaming of You / I Could Fall in Love

Anteontem não sai de casa e fiquei deitado na cama a ver televisão. O filme que estava a dar na RTP1 era a Selena, papel interpretado pela Jennifer Lopez sobre a cantora assassinada aos 23 anos. Confesso que não conhecia nada da mesma, mas desde ontem que ouço as músicas dela e adoro, em particular estas:

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...
(by Selena)

Selena cresceu no meio duma familia humilde que cedo descobriu o gosto pela música. Cantava no grupo da familia, mas ganhou autonomia do grupo, ainda adolescente, lançando-se a solo e ganhando projecção internacional.
A vida dela terminou prematuramente aos 23 ao ser assassinada pela presidente do seu clube de fãs, por esta ter desviado dinheiro dos fãs e a cantora o ter descoberto.

I could lose my heart tonight,
If you don’t turn and walk away
Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
Cause I could take you in my arms,
And never let you go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

I could only wonder how
Touching you would make you feel
But if I take that chance right now,
Tomorrow will you want me still?
(baby will you want me? )
So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love with you

And I know it’s not right,
And I guess I should try
To do what I should do
But I could fall in love,
Fall in love, with you
I could fall in love with you

Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome, con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podría amar a ti
(translation:
I’m always dreaming of you
Kissing my lips, caressing my skin
Hugging me with crazy longings
Imagining that you love me
The way that I could love you)

So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love, (fall in love)
I could fall in love, (fall in love) with you
I could fall in love with you.

Million Dollar Baby

Hoje dum dos meus poucos programas feitos com os meus pais, e aproveitando a ocasião por ter ido votar, fui dar uma volta ao shopping, acabando por ir ao cinema. O filme escolhido foi o Million Dollar Baby. Confesso que não sou muito fã do Clint Eastwood mas só o facto de ter a Hillary Swank e o Morgan Freeman, era um trunfo. Amei o filme. Não estava nada à espera dum filme tão bom.
Não irei contar a história do mesmo. Apenas que se trata do percurso duma boxeur.

Curiosos? Vão ver o filme...vale muito a pena!

Tem cá o meu voto para vencer os Oscars.

Do filme reti uma frase, que passa muitas vezes no ecrã:

"Winners are simply willing to do what losers aren't" .

Friendship

Tenho a agradecer a todas as pessoas que me têm apoiado até hoje...essas pessoas tal como eu compreendem o verdadeiro significado da amizade, apoiando-me, ouvindo e aconselhando nas alturas mais complicadas da minha vida.
Amigos são mesmo assim...Sem se preocuparem com religiões, cores, credos, crenças e não só. Essas pessoas só posso mesmo considerar especiais.

Não sei o que posso dizer, a não ser isto...

Muito obrigado por serem as pessoas que são. Agradeço tudo o que tem feito por mim, sempre para me deixar a sorrir.

OBRIGADO! do fundo do coração

The Show Must Go On

Esta sempre foi uma das músicas que gostei dos Queen embora tivessem havido outras versões no passado...Hope you like it just Like I do...

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll drop the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on
(by Queen)

Lead the Way

Who would've believed
That you and me would fall
And land together
And who could've foreseen
In you I'd find the place
I've belonged forever
And if I move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way
I'd given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mine to treasure
And now
Nothing's the same
I found myself reborn
On the day I met you
And if we move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way
Suddenly you are lying
Here with me and the truths
I used to hold have changed
And if I move closer
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way
And let it take over
Then love will lead the way
(by Mariah Carey)
