Help, I'm Alive
If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Throw me a rope
I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you,
But everything here is telling me I should be fine,
So why is it so, above as below that I'm missing you every time?
I got used to you whispering things to me into the evening,
We followed the sun and it's colours and left this world,
It seems to me, that I'm definetly hearing the best that I've heard,
So throw me a rope, to hold me in place,
Show me a clock, for counting me days down,
'Cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
Come back and find me 'cos I feel alone.
And whenever you go it's like holding my breath underwater,
I have to admit that I kind of like it when I do,
Oh but I've got to be unconditionally unafraid of my days without you,
So throw me a rope, to hold me in place,
Show me a clock, for counting me days down,
'Cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
Come back and find me,
Whenever I'm falling you're always behind me,
Come back and find me,
'Cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
Come back and find me, 'cos I feel alone.

Weeds
Celia: "Just because 'gay' is the new 'black' does not mean it's your new color, sweatheart."
Isabel: "Well, 'bitch' isn't a color either."
Dean: "Did you just insult 'gays' and 'african americans' in one statement?"
Celia: "I believe part of the hostility is the reason that she's trying this gayness. I didn't breast feed, o.k., I admit it"
Pam: "And now she's looking for the breasts later in life."

A Rush Of Blood To The Head
You said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
You said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your hearts desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return
Huuuhhhh [x4]
You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on
Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
You just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you need to go on
As you mean to go on
As you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge
Meet me by the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Oh meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head

Uma coisa que me faz muita espécie
As traduções do nosso país! A sério, quem é que andam a contratar para traduzir os filmes, as séries e até os livros? Há com cada falha que até dói.
No outro dia estava a ver uma série e houve um personagem que disse qualquer coisa como "I can't find a nanny who knows how to sign." Ora o sign neste caso queria dizer que não conseguia encontrar uma ama que soubesse língua gestual, visto que o tal personagem tem um filho que é surdo. Então não é que a abécula que estava a traduzir traduziu o sign por assinar! Até fiquei parva...
E lembro-me sempre daquela famosa do filme dos Simpsons em que o tradutor não sabia a diferença entre angry e hungry.
Isto tudo porque ando a tirar o curso de tradução e não acho muito normal que uma pessoa que ande a estudar durante 3/4 anos depois não saiba coisas que são tão básicas.
Enfim, prometo que as minhas traduções serão muito melhores xD
Bem, com o azar que eu tenho ainda arranjo emprego a traduzir os livros do Nicholas Sparks e da Nora Roberts mas ao menos as pindériquices ficam bem traduzidas.

Rir
Rir? Pensamos alguma vez em rir? Quero dizer rir verdadeiramente, além da brincadeira, da troça, do ridículo. Rir, gozo imenso e delicioso, gozo completo...
Dizia à minha irmã, ou dizia-me ela a mim, anda, vamos brincar a rir? Deitávamo-nos lado a lado sobre uma cama e começávamos. A fingir, claro. Risos forçados. Risos ridículos. Risos tão ridículos que nos faziam rir. Então chegava o verdadeiro riso, o riso inteiro, que nos transportava no seu imenso rebentar. Risos sem gargalhadas, redobrados, desordenados, desenfreados, risos magníficos, sumptuosos e loucos... E ríamos até ao infinito do riso dos nossos risos... Oh rir! Rir de prazer, o prazer de rir; rir, é tão profundamente viver.
Extraído de Parole de Femme de Annie Leclerc, 1976.
