Politics (quotes)
“I'm completely in favor of the
separation of Church and State.
... These two institutions screw us up enough
on their own, so both of them together is
certain death.”
― George Carlin
Anything but
Anything
but
-tudo menos (isso, isto) / qualquer coisa menos...
“Intended to be clean and efficient in a place that was anything but.”
(Destinado a ser limpo e eficiente num lugar que era tudo menos isso.)
(Spy Game / “Jogo de
Espiões” )
“I'll eat anything
but mushrooms,” he said.”
(“Vou
comer qualquer coisa menos
cogumelos”, disse ele.)

Vídeo: Yesterday When I Was Young
Vídeo:
Yesterday,
when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The
thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splendid things I planned
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away.
The splendid things I planned
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday,
when I was young.
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I
ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

Are you kidding? / Are you kidding me?

(Eu poderia ficar com você por umas semanas.
Você está brincando?)
(Freeway / “Sem Saída”)
Are you kidding me?
-você
está brincando comigo?
-“você está me gozando?”
“So? Tell me about last night. Are you kidding me? Are you pulling my leg?”
(Então? Conte-me sobre a noite passada.
Você
está me gozando? Você está brincando comigo?)
(About Last Night /
“Sobre Ontem à Noite”)
Obs.: “pull (someone’s) leg” : brincar com alguém, fazer uma brincadeira
com alguém
