Goodbye My Lover

James Blunt

Composition: James Blunt / S. Skarbek

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling 1-guilty or let the 2-judges frown?
3-’Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were 4-blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your 5-soul out into the night.
and may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
6-touched my heart you touched my soul.
you changed my life and 7-all my goals.
And love is blind* and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head.
8-Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been 9-addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me. (bis)
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take.
and as move you on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile.
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I’d be the father of your child.
I’d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine,
And I love you, I swear that’s true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when 10-I’m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m 11-kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so 12-hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.

Dear Charles,

I moved into my new apartament this week and I’m very happy. The neighborhood is interesting. It’s only ten minutes by train to the World Trade Center, but it’s quiet and relaxing. There are even trees and flowers.

I have friendly neighbors. The woman upstairs seems really nice. I think she’s a lab technician. The people next door own a coffee shop. It’s right down the Street, so I go there a lot for breakfast.

I really like it here, but a miss all my friends in Vermont, I hope everything is O.K. back there. please write soon.

 

                                                                                          Love,            

                                                                                            Carolyn

Once Upon a time. Creating Stories.

 

Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman, that she likes to sing so much in the bathroom. She feels better when She listens the sound of her voice. But It’s not what people thought about. She Told a little story about her born, and about Childhood.

When I Came in, I song so nice, I guess, but my mom said me that I cried a lot and, in the same time , everyone run out.

She didn’t know what the true was because everyone said to her a lot of lies. A man that was walking in New York city, saw that woman sing, she stoped in a restaurant in front of where she was singing. He saw what no one had  never seen in her, later went back home; everyday he goes at the restaurant, which she is in front of. So he decides to help that girl, her dream is becoming a POP STAR someday.

He speaks with his friend:

-I found a nice girl, she didn’t know who I’m, but I listen her, voice everyday, I think it so beautiful, but everybody didn’t discovery it.

Friends Says:

-Hmm, I know, but what do you want? How can I help?

He speaks:

I’d like you to teach that girl how to sing, but I don’t want to say to her who I’m. You’ll say, that you want to help her. She’ll pay nothing because I’ll pay all that She’ll need.

Friend Says:

Really? are you kidding with me?

He says:

-No, I’m not kidding…I’m really serious. I trust in her talent.

Friend Says:

Ok, I hear something about that girl. I’ll help you.

Passed 5 months, in this short time, she is singing perfectly as an opera singer. In few months he discovered that she is his child.

 

The End.

 

No It’s your once to creat a story. Use an Once Upon a time to creat your own story.

About: Portuguese Language

 

Let’s know a little about, mother’s language from Brazil, and others countries around of the world, that has portugueses as your first language.

Our language borned when portugueses come in to Brazil and started teaching everyone to know Portuguese well, of course, INDIOS didn’t want to turn up your style of life, mainly because the mother language from them were the Tupi-Guarani. So they were forced to learn against your wanted.

However, We can see the portuguese in some contries, like as: Portugal, Africa and etc. It’s the some language, of course, but there’re some differency about pronuciation, diferents slangs, vocabulary.

For Exemple:

ex¹:

there’s a long line to get entrances to the concert in Porto. One portuguese want to get it faster, he tries pass some people, but there is one that turning to him, stoped and said: “Please, back to the end’s line.” It’s something like: “volte para o fim da Bicha” in this case Bicha is meaning like: LINE.

However, if the Portuguese speaks this word here in Brazil, it’s going to be stranger, because Bicha in Brazil, mean: Gay. It could be translated by Volte para o fim da bicha [Bicha];

I wish that this blog, help your want to know Brazil someday!
