"Moro em Lisboa"
Letra e música de Pedro Ayres Magalhães

Que outra cidade
Levantada sobre o mar
Á beira rio
Acabou por se elevar
Entre dois braços de água
Um de sal, outro de nada
Água doce, água salgada
Águas que abraçam Lisboa
É em Lisboa
Que o Tejo chega ao mar
É em Lisboa
Que o mar azul recebe o rio
E essa brisa que nos faz
Promessas de viagem
Brisa fresca que reclama
as nossas almas ausentes
Suave
cidade
do sal
do mar
Moro em Lisboa
E a tarde cai


"I Live in Lisbon"
Lyrics and Music by Pedro Ayres Magalhães


What other city
Raised above the sea
by a river
has finally been elevated
Amidst two arms of water
One of salt, the other of nothing
Sweet water, salty water
Waters that embrace Lisbon
It’s in Lisbon
That the Tagus reaches the sea
It’s in Lisbon
That the blue sea receives the river
And that breeze that makes us
Travelling promises
The cool breeze that claims
Our absent souls
Soft
city
of the salt
of the sea
I live in Lisbon

selamlar

Good idea for the good photograph, appeals to me so podejscie to this topic, I am greeting

Hello Carla - What a lovely blue view through this simple, beautiful floral 'fence'. Nicely complemented by Pedro Ayres Magalhães' poetic song in your note. Well done! Have a good weekend! - Cordelia :))
PS: Would you know where to find the song? I'd love to listen to it.

I really like the graphics in this shot, Carla. And that beautiful set of blue hues, so typical for the countries of Southern Europe.
I'd emphasize the abstractness in your compo by making it a perfectly symmetrical compo, and by cloning out the OOF boats in the sea. I'll try to show what I mean in a ws.
But anyway, a very nice, graphical image.
