Luís de Camões

Ao desconcerto do Mundo

Os bons vi sempre passar
No Mundo graves tormentos;
E pera mais me espantar,
Os maus vi sempre nadar
Em mar de contentamentos.
Cuidando alcançar assim
O bem tão mal ordenado,
Fui mau, mas fui castigado.
Assim que, só pera mim,
Anda o Mundo concertado.

                 Luís de Camões


Cá nesta Babilónia
  

Cá nesta Babilónia, donde mana
Matéria a quanto mal o mundo cria;
Cá, onde o puro Amor não tem valia,
Que a Mãe, que manda mais, tudo profana;

Cá, onde o mal se afina, o bem se dana,
E pode mais que a honra a tirania;
Cá, onde a errada e cega Monarquia
Cuida que um nome vão a Deus engana;

Cá, neste labirinto, onde a Nobreza,
O Valor e o Saber pedindo vão
Às portas da Cobiça e da Vileza;

Cá, neste escuro caos de confusão,
Cumprindo o curso estou da natureza.
Vê se me esquecerei de ti, Sião!

Luís Vaz de Camões

If

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Sinopse

"O repórter Bob Wilton anda à procura do seu próximo "furo" quando conhece Lyn Cassady, uma sombria figura que afirma fazer parte de uma unidade experimental do Exército Americano. Segundo Cassady, o New Earth Army está a mudar a forma como as guerras são combatidas. Uma legião de "Monges Guerreiros", com poderes psíquicos sem paralelo, consegue ler os pensamentos do inimigo, atravessar paredes e mesmo matar um bode só de olhar para ele! Agora, o fundador do programa, Bill Django, desapareceu e a missão de Cassady é encontrá-lo. Intrigado pelas “histórias da carochinha” de Cassady, Bob decide impulsivamente segui-lo. Quando a dupla descobre Django num campo de treino clandestino, liderado pelo renegado médium Larry Hooper, o repórter vê-se no meio de um diabólico duelo entre as forças do New Earth Army de Django e a milícia pessoal de super soldados de Hooper. E para sobreviver a esta louca aventura, Bob terá de vencer um inimigo que nunca julgou poder existir."

Um tipo de humor diferente aqui presente, que nos deixa a rir do quão ridículas algumas das aventuras por que passam são. Nem todos acharão piada a este filme, mas é óptimo! Ewan McGregor e George Clooney são espantosos!

Gorillaz

O meu lado um pouco mais electrónico... adoro Gorillaz, os arranjos, as músicas e a imagem principalmente. A seguir a letra da música Feel Good Inc.

"Feel Good Inc."

Hahahahahahahahaha,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good,
Feel good.........

City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no..

[Chorus:]
Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all there on your stride
It is tinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Lay these ponies at the track
Its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
This motown,
With yo sound
You're in the place
You gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With yo sound
You kill the INC.
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you're Jet Ahead.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
Hahahahahhaa

Feel good, AHHHHahahahah [x4]

[Chorus]

Don't stop, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady,
Watch me navigate,
Ahahahahahhaa.
Don't stop, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady, watch me navigate
Ahahahahahhaa.

Feel good, AHHHHahahahaha
Feel good,
Feel good, AHHHHahahahaha
Feel good...

New Born

Fica aqui um vídeo de Muse, New Born.

"New Born"

"Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable

'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born

When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away

Away from you"
