Poetry and Music

talesforlove

Poetry goes hand in hand with music, frequently we say. We mention the beauty of the music and of the lyrics, and even though the lyrics is usually not present in classical music, there is a text to help us understand what was the author’s purpose. Additionally, you can imagine that there is lyrics and music but you don’t understand a single word of was is sang and despite that we fascination by the sound and are taken to the feelings felt by the author, regardless of having a guide during that way/path.

If this happens to you while listening music from Slovakia, then that is understandable specially after this first experience. Fascinating Summer moment…

Surprising was also the usage of violin in folk music as it was to see the dresses of the group of dancers, so bright and harmonious.

Here we share a photo of a folk group from Slovakia performing in Portugal and we do recommend the search of traditional music of this country, neighbor of Ukraine.

July and August (1) 2019

Right now, almost simultaneously, we are experiencing drought in Angola (is the Namib desert growing?), fires in Portugal (have we realized the real impacts of climate change, or is it just the eucalyptus problem?), a wave of heat in the rest of Europe (we will in the future go on vacation to the UK to have hot days and a long enough blue summer?) and the heat in New York (will it be normal?). These are only questions, and we realize that often the question is even more important than an answer.
 
This is another text on this blog, to make us think, nothing more. Now is time to read some poetry, perhaps the softness of the words will inspire us.
 
Little Fishies, by Karina Aldrighis
 
Gold little fish,
Stripy little fish,
Bubbles in the aquarium
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

Knocking on the glasses,
Pacing forth and back.
It gets stressed!
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

Lifted Flippers,
Steep Tail,
Synchronized swim,
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

Seaweeds in aquarium,
Pirate box
The Giant Oyster.
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

It opens and closes
Its funny mouth,
And hilarious bubbles!
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

Little stones on deep sea
Multicolours tones
It up and down goes.
Blu, blu, blu, blu...
 
Doesn’t it get tired of living
In a square world
Shaped by transparent glass?
Blu, blu, blu, blu...

Until now as far as I know
No one has died drowned,
it’d be an unusual fact!
Blu, blu, blu, blu...
