I went to see my love



Salvador Sobral, "fui ver meu amor" (I went to see my love), "bpm" (beats per minute), 2021, lyrics from his sister Luisa Sobral.

chorus
Ai, o meu amor | Já viu a dor de perto | Sente sem pensar | E ama com tudo o que tem para amar.
Oh, my love | Has seen the pain up close | She feels without thinking | And she loves with everything she has to love.

Eurovision: music won again

Eurovision Song Contest once was a festival where some of the most beautiful songs in Europe could compete.
However, many of the best songs could never win due to some kind of mafia ruling the record market.
By the early 70's, the festival turned into a hateful cheesy horror contest of high notes performances wrapped in some fashion rhythm with some few exceptions, like Sébastien Tellier with a song that I've already posted here without mentioning the creepy festival.
Things started to change a bit not only because the record companies are not the kings of the music industry anymore, but also because in this competition there's this new rule of the audience voting. And you can't vote for your own country.
I never ever imagined myself making a post like this. To show you how I hate this festival, I even did not know this song at all.
But this time, music won again.
I made a translation (bellow the 1st clip) of this beautiful song, entirely composed by our (here in KoM) well known Luísa Sobral, to be sung by her brother Salvador.
Here he is, taking his sister to the stage for the final honour encore:

If someday someone asks about me - say that I lived to love you. - Before you, I merely existed - tired, with nothing to give.

My darling, listen to my prayers. - I beg you to come back, to want me again - I know, you can't love alone - maybe sweetly you might learn again. (2x)

If your heart won't wish to give in - feeling no passion, wishing no suffering - without planning whats coming after - my heart can love for us both.

Here's the 1st public presentation of this song:

And here's Luisa singing the same song:

Have a lovely Sunday, have a beautiful week :}

post-party post for Val :D


He does not scold me , And wants to play always , He's my best friend , I can count on him.
If I don't wake up in the morning , When I have to . He drags my sheets , Looking for a foot to lick.
My dog likes to play with the ball , And to watch me playing video games.
My dog is the most beautiful of all , Smart like no other , Even when life goes wrong , I know he'll always be my dog.
I give him half of my snack , Without my mother watching , I lay my head on his belly , When I want to fall asleep.
My dog likes to play with the ball , And to watch me playing video games.
My dog is the most beautiful of all , Smart like no other , Even when life goes wrong , I know he'll always be my dog.
