A vida é um incêndio : nela
Dançamos, salamandras mágicas
Que importa restarem cinzas
se a chama foi bela e alta?
Em meio aos toros que desabam,
Cantemos a canção das chamas!

Cantemos a canção da vida,
Na própria luz consumida...

(Mario Quintana), Nariz de vidro.SP, Moderna, 1987

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Tradução de um trecho da música cantada no filme Life of Brian.


"Algumas coisas na vida são ruins
Elas podem realmente deixá-lo louco
Outras coisas só o fazem xingar e praguejar
Quando estiver comendo o pão que o diabo amassou
Não resmungue, dê um assobio
E isto ajudará as coisas a mudarem para melhor
E.."

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Monty Python

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
And…

…always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)
Always look on the light side of life
(whistle)

If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that´s the thing

And…always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)
Come on
always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about yours sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a pice of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh  is on you

And…always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)
Come on
always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)

Come on guys, cheer up
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
Worse things happen at sea, you know
Always look on the bright side of life…

I mean – what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
-         you’re going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing!

Always look on the bright side of life
