Cine Me

 
Lincoln
 
 
The phenomenal Daniel Day-Lewis plays Lincoln with the immersive, indelible power of an actor who wears his role like a second skin and feels it down to the nerve endings. This is acting of the highest order.
 
In Steven Spielberg's brilliant, brawling epic about the last four months in the life of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln takes a few hits up there on his marble pedestal. Political double-dealing was not beyond this American icon, not when his country was struggling in the darkness.
 
 It is a nest of high politics for the white ruling class, far from the brutality and chaos of the battlefield. At its centre is a gaunt Shakespearian figure, somewhere between Caesar and Prospero.

Soon it will be spring

 
Rosas que desabrochais,
Como os primeiros amores,
Aos suaves resplendores
Matinais;

Em vão ostentais, em vão,
A vossa graça suprema;
De pouco vale; é o diadema
Da ilusão.

Em vão encheis de aroma o ar da tarde;
Em vão abris o seio úmido e fresco
Do sol nascente aos beijos amorosos;
Em vão ornais a fronte à meiga virgem;
Em vão, como penhor de puro afeto,
Como um elo das almas,
Passais do seio amante ao seio amante;
Lá bate a hora infausta
Em que é força morrer; as folhas lindas
Perdem o viço da manhã primeira,
As graças e o perfume.
Rosas que sois então? – Restos perdidos,
Folhas mortas que o tempo esquece, e espalha
Brisa do inverno ou mão indiferente.

Tal é o vosso destino,
Ó filhas da natureza;
Em que vos pese à beleza,
Pereceis;
Mas, não... Se a mão de um poeta
Vos cultiva agora, ó rosas,
Mais vivas, mais jubilosas,
Floresceis.


Machado de Assis, in 'Crisálidas'

I may hear a sound

 
I may know the word
But not say it
This may be the time
But I might waste it
This may be the hour
Something move me
Someone prove me wrong
Before night comes
With indifference

One man

 
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come here to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love!
One man in the name of love
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

Darling, I am lying

 
 
There are so many things I could say, my love
Make you trip, so your lips would be mine
There are so many things I could do, my love
To convince you my love is divine
There are so many words I could tell you
There are so many moments in time
But I say 'fore we go to the land down below
If I tell you I love you, I'm lying

There are so many places to go, my love
There are so many places to find
There are so many worlds to explore, my love
There are so many stars yet to shine
There are so many secrets to tell you
There are so many men on the line
But I say 'fore we go to the land down below
If I tell you I love you, I'm lying

I maybe show the reason to call you up next time
So if you like your women sweet, ah, consider me your wine

I may be one for weekends to call you when you're flying
But if I ever utter I love you, honey I am lying
And if I look into your eyes and tell you, honey I am lying
And if I ever whisper words unheard, such sultry words

(Oh, je t'aime
Oh oui, je t'aime)

Darling, I am lying

Pleasure is on the other side

 
Save Room For My Love
Save Room For The Moment To Be With Me
Save Room For My Love
Save A Little Save A Little For Me
Won't You Save A Little
Save A Little For Me
 
 Ohhh
