Nelson Mandela

"I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
I am the master of my fate 
I am the captain of my soul. "


 from the movie Invictus

The first time I saw your face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were gifts you gave
to the dark and the endless skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was then at my command
My love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last til the end of time
My love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

Mudanças

Estar longe implica opções, como estar longe da família e amigos, longe dos momentos importantes aniversários, nascimentos, casamentos...e até dos momentos menos bons. Mas por outro lado aprendo todos os dias, vivo o dia, arrisco e arranjo energia para continuar e para conhecer o Mundo, que no fundo é isso que eu quero, ser uma cidadã do Mundo.

Sabe bem voltar e sentir o calor dos amigos, do papi e da mumi, da sis...faltou o bro e o novo sobrinho mas estará para breve. Sentir que nada mudou e que continuamos com o nosso mundo quase perfeito dá-me força.

Quero e preciso de mais uma aventura...

Encontro-me numa nova viragem na minha vida e acho que pela primeira vez estou triste...por não saber o amanhã, por ter perdido ao longo dos últimos dois anos a coragem de falar, de exigir...por não ter, talvez, a maturidade para negociar, por saber que estou a ser completamente negligenciada e nada fazer...

Será altura para fazer as malas e partir? Para onde? Fazer o quê?

Nos Desenhos Animados - Os Azeitonas

Eu quero a sorte de um cartoon

Nas manhãs da RTP1

És o meu Tom Sawyer

E o meu Huckleberry Finn

E vens de mascarilha e espadachim

Lá em cima, onde há planetas sem fim

Tu és o meu super-herói

Sem tirar o chapéu de Cowboy

Com o teu galeão e uma garrafa de rum

Eu era tua e de mais nenhum

Um por todos e todos por um

Nos desenhos animados

Eu já conheço o fim

O bem abre caminho 

A golpes de espadachim

E o príncipe encantado

Volta semrpe para mim

Eu sou a Jane e tu Tarzan

A Julieta do meu Dartagnan

Se o teu cavalo falasse

Tinha tanto para contar

Há fantasmas debaixo dos meus lençois

Dos tesouros que escondemos dos espanhóis

Nos desenhos animados

Eu já conheço o fim

O bem abre caminho 

A golpes de espadachim

E o príncipe encantado

Volta semrpe para mim

Quando chegar o final

Já podemos mudar de canal

Nos desenhos animados

É raro chover

E nunca, quase nunca acaba mal.

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL.

Better



It's something like i apologize
It's something i still can't decide
But i know it gets better
It only gets better

And i want to say that it's not always easy
But it's simple that way
And i want to stay and play it out
But i still have my doubts
So you say it gets better
It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way

Beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
They pass, oh they pass away, they always change
Who are we is who we are
When the act of love can get us so far
So good i wish you would
Think twice on me
'cause it only gets better

It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way

So better
It's better this way
Baby, it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
It's better, oh, this way
Promise me you'll always be better
Better



Jason Mraz

Smile

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just...
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile
