But It Only Rains (and rains and rains...)

Pheew ! What a week ! The white shit snow has finally melted down since last Monday and now in the NL you have rather a rainy weather, like if it was autumn. My mind is already  on spring mode, and the first leaves of bulb flowers are showing their grace in my front yard. The daffodils have already embelished my home up to last week. Now I have already bought some new pots of flowers for my kitchen, expecting flashy red tulips shall brighten my day.

Yes, I am tired of living behind the glass windows... In my car, in my house, at work, in the bus and in the tram. I miss the sun incredibly, because in 2011 for the first time since I live here I have spent the summer vacations in the NL. And it was a blergh summer ! Meh ! And now it only rains and rains and rains.  And due to the lack of sun I am eating like a monster. Compensatig all the sun absence with milk, cheese, yoghurt and other vitamine D foods. If only my body could become the Sun.

Yes, I am in a nostalgic mood the last days. I cannot stop singing the refrain from Brazilian song "My First Mistakes" (also known as "It rains"). If only my body could become the Sun. If only my mind could become the Sun. It was during my previous life, it was the 80's, the rock Brasil set the background tone of my  young adult years and I had a sort of crush on Dinho (Curitiba, 1964) the singer of Capital Inicial. Ok, a mega crush, actually. Capital Inicial have made a return to the music scene in 2009/2010. Dinho seems to be weak and lost the power of his voice - the drugs have really taken a toll on him. And that accident on the stage.  I love Capital Inicial anyway. Enjoy !

My path - every morning...
Do not try to figure out where I am
My destiny belongs to nobody
And I do not leave my steps on the ground
If you do not understand me, you do not see it
If you do not see me, you do not understand it
Do not try to discover where I am
If my way surprises you

If my body could become the Sun
If my mind could become the Sun
But it only rains
and rains
and rains...

If one day I could see
My whole past
And I could stop the rain
During my first mistakes
My body would have become the Sun
My mind would have become the Sun
But (so far) it only rains
and rains
and it rains...

Meu caminho é cada manhã

Não procure saber onde estou

Meu destino não é de ninguém

E eu não deixo meus passos no chão

Se você não entende, não vê

Se não me vê não entende

Não procure saber onde estou

Se o meu jeito te surpreende

Se meu corpo virasse sol

Se minha mente virasse sol

Mas só chove e chove

Chove e chove

Se um dia eu pudesse ver

Meu passado inteiro

E fizesse parar chover

Nos primeiros erros

Meu corpo viraria sol

Minha mente viraria sol

Mas só chove e chove

Chove e chove

Se um dia eu pudesse ver

Meu passado inteiro

E fizesse parar chover

Nos primeiros erros

Meu corpo viraria sol

Minha mente viraria sol

Mas só chove e chove

Chove e chove
