O Barquinho (Little Boat)


O Barquinho (Little Boat)
Roberto Menescal & Ronaldo Bôscoli
English lyrics: Buddy Kaye – Singer on this video: Karrin Allyson

Dia de luz, festa de sol
E um barquinho a deslizar
No macio azul do mar
Tudo é verão e o amor se faz
Num barquinho pelo mar
Que desliza sem parar...
Sem intenção, nossa canção
Vai saindo desse mar e o sol
Beija o barco e luz
Dias tão azuis
Volta do mar, desmaia o sol
E o barquinho a deslizar
E a vontade é de cantar
Céu tão azul, ilhas do sul
E o barquinho é o coração
Deslizando na canção
Tudo isso é paz, tudo isso traz
Uma calma de verão
E então
O barquinho vai, a tardinha cai
O barquinho vai, a tardinha cai

My little boat is like a note
Bouncing merrily along
Hear it splashing up a song
The sails of white
The sky is bright
Heading out into the blue
With a crew of only two
Where we could share
Love's salty air
On a little paradise that's afloat
Not a care have we
In my little boat

The wind is still
We feel the thrill
Of a voyage heaven-bound
Though we only drift around
Warmed by the sun
Two hearts as one
Beating with enchanted bliss
Something* in each other's kiss

When daylight ends and slyly sends
Little stars that twinkle brightly above
It's good bye to my little boat of love
Good bye little boat
Good bye little boat

Reminiscing...

It’s amazing how we only value certain things after we can’t enjoy them any longer. I spent the first hour of my morning looking at pictures and reminiscing about a place and time that I’m not really sure I appreciated the beauty that surrounded me. Now that I’m so far away and can only enjoy it through photographs (at least until my next trip), I just love these snapshots.

The best burger in the world! Even if I have to run 100 miles to burn it off…

OMG! It’s incredible how the taste of certain foods can actually take you back to a moment in time. I just had the most scrumptious sandwich that took me away back when I was growing up. The Brazilian famous X-Tudo, which could be translated as the “cheese everything.” The sandwich is basically a cheeseburger with everything in it: fresh buns, hamburger, cheese, fried egg, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Don’t ask me how many calories this baby can load up… I don’t really want to know, since I just eat one. The term X-Tudo comes from the word cheeseburger, and since the ch in Portuguese sounds like a sh in English, when pronounced with the Brazilian twang it sounds a lot like the letter x (xis). Well, earlier this evening “my sistah from another mistah” and I just went out for a stroll and bought all the ingredients for the “Everything Burger.” I haven’t had one of those in quite a few years. Wow! I just stuffed myself with a load of memories from childhood. The first bite took me straight back to a kiosk by the beach… What a feeling! Thanks for driving me around tonight, Rob! You have to try one next time… Time for me to go. Nite, nite world!
XOXOXO,

Cheers

Dreaming of Buzios...

Here I am again! Hellooooooo!!! Anybody? Hmmmm… There’s no one… I can hear my echo. Bummer! Oh well, I guess it’s a good time for skinny-dipping… LOL!!! Anyway... Every time I look at this banner I feel that everything is going to be okay, whatever life brings my way... I spent the first part of the day running around taking care of business, and now it’s time to unwind a bit. Let’s see… Where should I go? What about Buzios? Yessssss, bingo!
Where’s my cold beer?

XOXOXO,
Cheers!

Bardot has been credited with popularizing the city of St. Tropez, on the French Riviera, and Buzios, Brazil, which she visited in 1964 with her boyfriend at the time, Brazilian musician Bob Zagury. A statue by Christina Motta honors Brigitte Bardot in Buzios.

Nostalgia

I’ve been working on the blog for a while now… It’s time to call it the quits! A girl’s gotta eat! But I have to say that it was great to check out so many awesome pictures today… It almost made me forget the million problems that I have to deal with tomorrow! Nite, nite world!

XOXOXO,
Cheers!

Red Wine + The Blues = Emotional Moment

Miss Celie's Blues (Sister) - Lyrics from From the movie “The Color Purple."

Sister, you've been on my mind
Sister, we're two of a kind So, sister,
I'm keepin' my eye on you.

I betcha think I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues, oh, sister,
Have I got news for you, I'm something,
I hope you think that you're something too

Scufflin', I been up that lonesome road
And I seen alot of suns going down
Oh, but trust me,
No-o low life's gonna run me around.

So let me tell you something Sister,
Remember your name, no twister
Gonna steal your stuff away, my sister,

We sho' ain't got a whole lot of time,
So-o-o shake your shimmy Sister,
'Cause honey
The 'shug' is feelin' fine.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around" - Leo Buscaglia
