In memory of Vinicius de Moraes (October 19, 1913 – July 9, 1980)

“Parece que tudo já foi dito sobre Vinicius. Agora só vale a pena dizer da saúdade que ele deixou”.

“Nature Boy”

(Éden / Ahbez)

 

There was a boy…

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea

Of little size and sad of eyes

But very wise was he

And then one day

A magic day, he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me

“The sweetest thing you’ll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return”

 

Era um rapaz

Estranho e encantador rapaz

Ouvi que andara a viajar, viajar

Toda terra e o mar

Menino só

E tímido

Mas sábio demais

Eis que uma vez

Num dia mágico o encontrei

E ao conversarmos lhe falei

Sobre os reis, sobre as leis e a dor

E ele ensinou

Nada é maior

Que dar amor

E receber de volta

Amor

Ballad of Easy Rider

.

Sítio das Hortas, Alcochete - 2008

(Gandolfi Variant 4x5 + Horseman 6x12 film holder)

“Ballad of Easy Rider” – The Byrds

The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town

All he wanted
Was to be free
And that's the way
It turned out to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town

Flow river flow
Past the shaded tree
Go river, go
Go to the sea
Flow to the sea

The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town


Written by Roger McGuinn

From the Album “Ballad of Easy Rider” (1969)
