vola lontano

2007-06-13T17:03:00.000+01:00

Così vai via,

Colomba tu vai via,

e se domani chiedo dove sei finita, così sparita,

rispondimi che va bene

anche se non ho avuto il coraggio di volare via con te.

Vola, ed in un momento sei da sola,

nessuno è più con te,

perché chi vola ha sempre più paura di chi resta giù.

Vola, che la vita ti sorride ancora,

ancora più che a me,

perché chi vola va sempre più lontano.

"laissez les influences
jouer librement,
inventez ce qui a
déja été inventé,
ce qui est hors de doute,
ce qui est incroyable,
donnez a la spontanéité
sa valeur pure.
Soyez celui a qui l'on parle
et qui est entendu.
Une suele vision,
variée a l'infinie.
Le poete est celui
qui inspire bien plus
que celui qui est inspiré"

Who am I to you...
But another fool
One in a sea of faces
Spread through a million places

How could I ever dare
To believe that somewhere
In your world could ever be
Such a big space for me

Percorres cada rua e beco do meu pensamento
Em cada esquina te encontro; fugir? nem tento

Trazes-me sol, luz, música e calor
Trazes-me a lua, fado, melancolia e dor

Entras livremente em cada meu sonho sem bater
Levas-me a desejar que tão só nele pudesse viver

Ma morte vivante

"Dans mon chagrin rien n’est en mouvement
J’attends personne ne viendra
Ni de jour ni de nuit
Ni jamais plus de ce qui fut moi-même

Mes yeux se sont séparés de tes yeux
Ils perdent leur confiance ils perdent leur lumière
Ma bouche s’est séparée de ta bouche
Ma bouche s’est séparée du plaisir
Et du sens de l’amour et du sens de la vie
Mes mains se sont séparées de tes mains
Mes mains laissent tout échapper
Mes pieds se sont séparés de tes pieds
Ils n’avanceront plus il n’y a plus de routes
Ils ne connaîtront plus mon poids ni le repos

Il m’est donné de voir ma vie finir
Avec la tienne
Ma vie en ton pouvoir
Que j’ai crue infinie

Et l’avenir mon seul espoir c’est mon tombeau
Pareil au tien cerné d’un monde indifférent

J’étais si près de toi que j’ai froid près des autres"

Paul Éluard

secret garden

2007-04-13T15:52:00.000+01:00

A secret garden, with mysteries untold
The sound, the smell, the flavor, the colours
Brought to life under the sun

Beauty as far the eye can see
A melody, a song to me
To delight my senses, and strangle my heart
For I always knew you were to part

Aproxima-te de uma flor
Contempla a natureza
E diz, se fores capaz
Que é fruto do acaso, a sua beleza

Vê o teu corpo reflectido num espelho
ultrapassa o preconceito
E diz, se fores capaz
que é fruto do acaso o que te bate no peito

Fecha os teus olhos
perde-te no meu abraço
E diz, se fores capaz
que o que nos une é fruto do acaso

The sun sets on my solitude
My heart aches so badly and it feels so good
I, too, want to sink in the horizon until tomorrow
Get lost in the depths of a sea of sorrow

What can you see from the other side?
Creatures looking for a place to hide
As shadows grow bigger, devouring the land
My soul searches for a solid ground to stand

Where are you now?
I’ve lost track somehow
Where are you now?
I miss you more each passing hour

hey! yeah time is passing by really fast! It`s been a great time here!
The highlights for this last few weeks were definetly the conference "God`s Heart for the Nations" here at Island Breeze, and last weekend at Fingal.
For this conference, Wilson Goeda came from South Africa to speak to us. Two more DTS`s came and joined us for the week. We had between 25 and 30 different nationalities represented here that week!! There was a team from Sunshine Coast (North from here). it`s a surfers DTS, and another team from Michelton / Brisbane (Beach2Bush DTS). It was an awesome time, not only for the conference itself but for the people i got to meet. I didn`t talk much to the guys from Sunny Coast, but as for the other guys, we had a great time; they stayed for one more week, so we could get to know them better. We`ll hopefully meet again one of the next weekends at their base.
Last weekend was even better!! Fingal is a wonderful place (1,5 hours away from here) right between a river and the beach. From the house we stayed at it was only a 2 minuts walk to this beautiful and almost desert beach. We went there for a wedding, so we got to go the beach in the morning before the wedding, in the afternoon right after the party, and Sunday. We stayed at the house of one of the relatives of the bride, they`re what we call here Aboriginals, they`re the native people of Australia. They had surfboards and kayaks all over the place! I couldn`t believe it, everywhere I looked there was a longboard or surfboard. So we borrowed some boards and kayaks and had a lot of fun. It was such a wierd feelling... I was always looking around for sharks! lol 'cause i felt that would be the kind of place where there would certainly be sharks..but anyway.."if God is for us..who can be agains us?.." lol but yeah..fortunatelly I saw no sharks.=p
The wedding was awesome! the Bride karren was aboriginal as I said, and the guy (the GROOM i guess =p) was Joseph, a nigerian guy. Joseph is the leader of the Walk'a'bout DTS and he`s awesome. For the wedding, me, the americans and the fijians wore "sulus", that's the fijian traditional cerimony suit (a skirt and a Bula shirt!) and it was awesome! I took some photos, i`ll show you guys later.
Today we had our first real rugby game here at the base!! It was really fun!
The usually play "touch" rugby, with no tackles, which is really boring, but today it was different! We had Fiji Vs. the World. I was playing for the world of course. I was the only european, then there was 1 american and the others were form New Zealand, Samoa & Tonga. Well this guys...they are like bulls! It was an awesome experience, and I want to do it more often. I`m starting to like rugby! Chase the guys and grab them til they fall, do the "scrum", tackle this big Fijian guys as they run into me.. well it was really cool. I got to make a good try! it was only one..but that`s a good start=) most of the guys had their t-shirts completely ripped off by the end of the game!=) I wore my black Benfica Shirt (1st place on the Portuguese Soccer Championship!ahaha sweeet) so i didn`t get it ripped off.
Well. I guess it`s all for now, I think we'll watch 3 or 4 movies in a row now!!=)
Give me some feedback please (serranobruno@gmail.com)
God bless you all!xxxxxx

Hey guys, it`s been a little over two weeks since I got here!
It was a 23-hour-flight (+ 4 hours in London, and 3 hours in Singapure...). My longest ever...
I`m having so much fun here! Lectures started this past week. We learned about "The Heart of the Father", it was awesome!
I`ve been a couple of times to surfer`s paradise beach, which was awesome, and once I went to a man-made beach in the center of Brisbane (we call it "home-made" beach...=p)
Today I saw the 1st cangaroo =) It was in a park nearby.
There`s a river 2 minuts away from where I`m staying but we can`t swim there cause it has salt water and there`s sharks in there... I`d better not take the risk..
People here are awesome! There are a lot of Islanders (from Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and New Zealand). They are really cool people! In my school (All tribes DTS) there are 2 americans, 3 Fijians and 1 from Papua New Guinea, 2 Australian girls and 1 canadian. There are 6 Staff. 3 Fijians, 1 Polish guy, 1 aussie girl and 1 swedish.
The place here is great. It`s a huge property, full of grass and trees, with a lot of little houses around it. One of those houses is our room.
The weather here is really hot, though we`re in the end of summer. It was kinda hard to get used to it at the beggining cause I felt like taking a shower every 30 minuts, but now I`m getting used to it, and I already got a nice tan! eheh
It`s all for now, I`ll try to share some more stuff later. Hope you all r fine! write to me please! to serranobruno@gmail.com or 799 Redland Bay Road, Carbrook, 4130 Queensland - Australia
I can`t post photos for now, I`ll do it as soon as i can.
God Bless you all*
