awake

acordai, by fernando lopes graça and josé gomes ferreira - lisboa cantat choir

yesterday, the empty snail shell we call prime minister talked to the nation, sustained by the lousiest kind of journalist that exists: an empty snail shell and a ventriloquist puppet, not a journalist. here by I leave the translation of lyrics from above song, for foreigner readers; I am sure that I do not need to do the same for my countrymen, except if they are from puppet/empty shell category. In that case, please go, and do not come back.

awake, awake

sleeping man that pack villainous silences pain

come in mainly clamor plucking the flower

that still sleeps in root

awake lightning and typhoons that lie in the air

and in the crowds

come ignite the sea pebbles, the world and the hearts

with stars and songs

AWAKE!

ignite with suns and souls

this pierless sea without lighthouse guidance

and after final fightings 

awake our sleeping heroes on trenches 

awake!

wild things

to listen while reading, all is love, by karen o and the kids, from where the wild things are soundtrack

there isn't much novelty until boundaries are broken. this one is for all Rousseau's children, all of us that were born wild, lived on a society we did not choose and now just want to stone ministries windows and run naked on the florest. 

só existe verdadeira novidade quando as cintas se rompem. este é para todos os filhos de Rousseau, todos nós os que nascemos silvestres, vivemos numa sociedade que não escolhemos e que agora queremos partir janelas nos ministérios e correr nus pelo trigal.

yellow moon day

there are, from time to time, these weird yellow.orange.redish moon nights. since ever people say that's something magic/tragic about it. If you have missed tonight, don't worry, buy the lamp, still fresh from milan. ask for magic, tragic is  already enough.

sit José, sit

to listen while reading, zeca afonso - maio maduro maio

because these are not the times to rest sitting this is a paradoxal post. more than ever, Portuguese folks must raise their bottoms from chairs and stand against political adversity. the nation is falling apart because we allow it, remaining quiet. These chairs bellow are only permitted after Revolution. Not prices nor shops yet, also that must wait until finished Salone. 

porque estes não são tempos para permanecer sentado, este é um post paradoxal. mais que nunca os Portugueses têm que descolar os rabos das cadeiras e fazer, de pé, frente à adversidade trazida pelos políticos. a nação cai em cacos porque o permitimos. Estas cadeiras abaixo são para sentar apenas depois da Revolução. Nem preços nem lojas, também isso só depois do Salão.

milan day four

to listen while reading, washed out - amor fati, Adelaide's choice

this is the last post concerning exclusively milan 2014. I miss thematics as core and prices+shops on captions, just a couple of almost impossibles on these last posts. Also the dishes are pilling on dishwasher, and beginning to be habitat.
I think that from Milan is coming a light and subliminar message on deco: stereotyping is fading away, and is being replaced by a kind of sweet, tender and nostalgic but industrial line. Labels are giving us singularity, on mold.  

este é o último post dedicado em exclusivo a milão. Sinto a falta de posts temáticos e preços+lojas nas legendas, um par de quase impossíveis nestes últimos. Além disso, os pratos sujos amontoam-se no lava-louça e começam a ser habitados.
Penso que de milão chega uma mensagem subliminar e levezinha: estereotipar tem os dias contados. A industria substitui-o por uma linha doce, terna e nostálgica. As marcas oferecem-nos singularidade, mas via molde.
