Te Amo Oh Deus! :)

13th of October, 2010, by Cadu.

Instead of sleeping I decided to sing a song to God. Since I have an awesome new microphone I decided to record it and now I am sharing it with you. I didn’t sing to put it here, but to worship God. Therefore it might be long and possibly boring (not to me or to God) and it is mostly in Portuguese (with some parts in English), but feel free to listen to it or download. It was not edited and it has clear errors, but I don’t really care… ;)

My free translation of the words is as follows:

Oh I love you God

I love you God
God of my Salvation
Neither on Earth or in Heaven
is there a King greater than mine.

I love you God
Prince of my peace
Lord of my life

How I love you, how I love you,
How I love you, how I love you God

I will look in your eyes
I will jump on your arms
Like a child spin me around
This is the moment I am longing for
This is the moment I want more
The moment I will meet with You

Esquadros by Adriana Calcanhotto

9th of October, 2010, by Cadu.

Here is a video of me singing a Brazilian song I like called “Esquadros”, written by Adriana Calcanhotto, a relatively famous Brazilian musician. I am sorry, but if you don’t understand Portuguese all you have left is my “incredible” singing skills… :)

PARTIDA

25th of August, 2009, by Cadu.

Dedico este soneto à Aidé Gurgel.

PARTIDA

Era dia em minha noite escura.
Dia de lua, de saudade… e só.
Dia de chorar minha amargura,
Em que parece que tudo virou pó.

Para onde foste ó eterno amor?
Deixaste minh’alma aflita, insegura…
Para tal tormento não conheço cura.
Voltarias caso clamasse com fervor?

Não há mais nada a que minh’alma anela,
Nem mesmo à ilusão de um impostor.
Estou preso em minha própria cela…

Viver sonhando é o que me resta agora,
Mesmo que sejam sonhos de desamor…
Até que um dia eu também vá embora.

Cadu’s Translation of the NT: John 1:1-5

16th of June, 2009, by Cadu.

“In the beginning it was the Word, and the Word was with (by) God, and God was the Word. This, the Word, was, in the beginning, with God. In the beginning all things were created through Him, and without Him not even one thing that was made would have been made. Life was with Him, and the life was the light of the human race. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake or understand it.”
John 1:1-5, Cadu’s Translation

“No princípio era o Verbo (palavra falada), e o Verbo estava com Deus, e Deus era o Verbo. Isto, o Verbo, estava, no princípio, com Deus. No princípio tudo foi criado através dEle, e sem Ele nada (nem mesmo uma só coisa) que foi feito se fez. Vida estava com Ele, e a Vida era a luz da humanidade. E a luz brilha na escuridão (trevas), e a escuridão não venceu ou entendeu ela.”
John 1:1-5, Tradução do Cadu

The Dumb, The Fool and The Funny.

3rd of April, 2009, by Cadu.

After watching the video present on this link, I am not sure if I am more ashamed for being Brazilian or for being almost Australian. The video was at some fancy meeting of the G-20, and shows the President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama II, praising the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio “Lula” (literally translated to Squid in English, and for the sake of fun it is how I will call him from now on) da Silva. Watch the video and keep reading.

President Squid shows us his amazing communication skills by acting like a potato after President Obama tells him that he is his favourite, and that he is the most popular president on Earth because of his good looks. Even though Mr. Squid (SpongeBob’s friend… muahahaha!) had someone translating to portuguese everything Mr. Obama said, he was unable to say thanks or reply in any other way.

The Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. Kevin Rudd, on the other hand, proved once more that a fool looks (and only looks) wiser when his mouth is shut.

And about what President Obama said… well… that obviously was his April Fools’ Day joke! Did you get it? Very funny! :)

O Burro, o Tolo e o Engraçado.

Depois de assistir ao vídeo presente nesse link, não tenho certeza se me sinto mais envergonhado por ser Brasileiro ou por ser quase Australiano. O vídeo foi numa reunião do G20, e mostra o Presidente dos Estados Unidos da América, Barack Hussein Obama II, elogiando o Presidente do Brasil, Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva. Veja o vídeo e continue lendo.

O Presidente Lula nos mostra suas incríveis habilidades com comunicação ao agir como uma batata depois do Presidente Obama falar pra ele que ele é seu favorito, e que ele é o presidente mais popular da Terra por causa de sua boa aparência. Mesmo o Sr. Lula tendo alguém traduzindo pra ele tudo o que o Sr. Obama falou, ele foi incapaz de agradecer ou responder de alguma maneira.

O Primeiro Ministro da Austrália, Sr. Kevin Rudd, por outro lado, provou mais uma vez que um tolo parece (e apenas parece) mais sábio quando sua boca está fechada.

E sobre o que o Presidente Obama falou… bom… aquilo foi obviamente a sua piada de Primeiro de Abril! Entendeu?? Muito engraçado! :)
