First time ever I saw your face

This was how I first felt when I saw you.

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last till the end of time my love
And would last till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I saw your face
The first time ever I saw your face
The first time ever I saw your face...

(song First time ever I saw your face by Celine Dion)

Now...

Somewhere...

For You...




Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence,
Can't you hear my screams...?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure,
You're always in my heart.

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul.

Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul...
Living in agony 'cause I just do not know
Where you are

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul.

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching.
Whatever it takes, I need to know.

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul.

Ensina-me o Que o Tempo Não Ensinou

Por cada gesto meu
Em cada frase contida
Não vou falar
Por Cada erro teu
Por cada noite perdida
Te procurar
Em cada passo
Esquecido
Faz a viagem
Para lá do infinito
Ensina-me
Diz-me o que o tempo não professou
Mostra-me
E tudo o vento levou
Diz-me
Que não se apagou
Por cada erro teu
Em cada voz tremida
De soluçar
Por cada sonho meu
Em cada corpo cansado
Farto de lutar
Em cada passo
Esquecido
Fizeste a viagem
Ao infinito
Ensina-me
Diz-me o que o tempo
Não professou
Mostra-me
E todo o tempo levou
Diz-me
Que não se apagou
Que nãos e apagou…

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)

Frase da Semana / Quote of the Week

Após uma ausência já bastante longa, espero voltar em força aqui ao blog e que volte a vos agradar como tenho tentado fazer até agora.
Aqui vai então a frase da semana. Não poderia deixar de concordar com ela, não acham? Pertence a um dos homens mais influentes da humanidade na minha opinião...Gandhi.

After being away for a long time I hope to return in full stength here to the blog and I hope you continue liking what I've been doing until now
Here goes this week's quote. Couldn't agree more with it, don't you think?

Frase da Semana / Quote of the Week

Esta é para todos os meus amigos, espalhados por este mundo fora. Ora digam lá se não concordam....

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:

"Todos os dias são dias de Dolce Vita"

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

Feliz Aniversário / Happy Aniversary

Muitos parabéns para ti meu amigo, espero que passes um dia feliz na companhia de quem te é querido e...vemo-nos no Sábado!

Felizes 59 primaveras Raúl ;-)
