Redução*

Reducción**

Primero vivía en un enorme caserón… tan grande que pasaban semanas sin que visitara todas las habitaciones. Entonces era muy habladora, tanto, que a veces no había tiempo de contestarle. Luego se mudó a una casa pequeña que podía recorrer en una mañana; pero se volvió más callada, aunque se podía conversar con ella. Después, tuvo que vivir en un departamentito, y para ver que pasaba en la otra habitación, solamente tenía que mover el cuerpo; casi no hablaba. Un día no logró levantarse de la cama y sólo fue capaz de decir "no". Al final todo se había reducido.

Não tenho tido tempo - mentira! mentira! mentira! - não tenho tido vontade para publicar nada, nem para responder aos comentários, nem aos e-mails, nem nada... A todos/as as minhas desculpas, espero regressar em breve. Desejo a todos/as os/as meus/minhas amigos/as, leitores do blog, conhecidos - da vida real e da cibernética - um exclente ano novo; um dia após o outro, quero dizer!

how can i go on?

When all the salt is taken from the sea I stand dethroned, I'm naked and I bleed But when your finger points so savagely Is anybody there to believe in me To hear my plea and take care of me? How can I go on, from day to day Who can make me strong in every way Where can I be safe, where can I belong In this great big world of sadness How can I forget those beautiful dreams that we shared They're lost and they're nowhere to be found How can I go on? Sometimes I seem to tremble in the dark, I cannot see When people frighten me I try to hide myself so far from the crowd Is anybody there to comfort me Lord, take care of me How can I go on (how can I go on) From day to day (from day to day) Who can make me strong (who can make me strong) In every way (in every way) Where can f be safe (where can I be safe) Where can I belong (where can I belong) In this great big world of sadness (In this great big world of sadness) How can I forget (how can I forget) Those beautiful dreams that we shared (Those beautiful dreams that we shared) They're lost and they're nowhere to be found How can I go on? How can I go on? How can I go on? Go on, go on, go on *Letra de Mike Moran e Freddie Mercury
