Random Cool Things #3 - Zélia Duncan

When thinking on how put into words the Traveling Souls post, I came across this song Não Vá Ainda or literally translated Don't Go Yet composed and sang by a fabulous Brazilian artist, Zélia Duncan.

By the way, she's on Twitter, in case you want to get in touch with her. ;)

The song has nothing to do with my musings, directly anyway, but the idea of someone leaving reminded of the nomad lifestyle I've never had. (and don't intend on having, just sayin', heh)

Here's an excerpt of the lyrics, poorly translated by me. I hope you'll be able to see my point.

Me diga como você pode viver indo embora, sem se despedaçar

Por favor me diga agora, ou será

Que você nem quer perceber?

Talvez você seja feliz sem saber.

Tell me how can you be always leaving, without falling apart

Please tell me now, or is it

That you don't even want to know?

Maybe you're happier unaware.

I gather this might make not much sense, but the music is good anyway. Don't you agree? ;)
