Strange And Beautiful (I'Ll Put A Spell On You)
I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen
To me,
you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me
But you just can't see
You turn every head but you don't see me
I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
When I put a spell on you
And when I wake you
I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me
YeahYe-ah
Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first
Sometimes the first thing you want never comes
But I know that waiting is all you can do
Sometimes
I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
When I put a spell on you
And when I wake you
I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realise that you love me
I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
Cause I put a spell on you
And when I wake you
I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me, yeah

Lover, You Should've Come Over
Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind so
you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...
So I'll wait for you...And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return,
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear
That hangs inside my soul forever
Oh, but maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
From going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...
Yes, (I) feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I'm waiting for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.

A Língua Chinesa
Estou há 2 meses a aprender Chinês, o Mandarim a língua oficial da China.
É uma língua cantada em que a fonética predomina e a escrita é lindíssima, todos os traços têm uma lógica e cada caracter simboliza uma palavra. Por exemplo o caracter de mãe é uma junção do radical de mulher mais o de cavalo e lê-se: ma; o caracter de cavalo lê-se: mâ (com o simbolo ^ virado ao contrário). Por isso, é preciso ter cuidado quando entoamos palavras em chinês porque podemos estar a chamar cavalo quando queremos chamar mãe...é traiçoeiro.
Esta escrita com alfabeto ocidental existe apenas para ajudar a aprender o chinês, é um sistema para a romanização de caracteres chineses, chamado pinyin. Desta forma, é possível escrever as palavras chinesas usando os nossos caracteres latinos. Esse sistema é usado também para dicionários e para digitação de textos no computador.
Curiosidades:
- está provado que quem aprende chinês, trabalha os 2 hemisférios cerebrais na área da escrita enquanto nós apenas trabalhamos um hemisfério.
- também está provado que quem aprende chinês aumenta em 20 pontos o seu Q.I
- O alfabeto chinês era inicialmente composto por cerca de 50.000 caracteres. Os sistemas de computador hoje incorporam cerca de 6.500 caracteres na China e 13.000 em Taiwan. Para que se leia um jornal comum, é necessário o conhecimento de 3.000 caracteres chineses (ou 4.000 em Taiwan). Uma pessoa é considerada alfabetizada na China caso conheça 2.000 caracteres específicos (ou 1.500 se for um agricultor).
- O alfabeto chinês surgiu há cerca de 4500 anos atrás e, segundo a lenda, foi criado por um homem chamado Cang-Jié. Com o passar dos anos as letras foram-se simplificando. Durante a revolução chinesa, foi criado um novo alfabeto chinês simplificado.
- a China tem 8 línguas distintas, por exemplo: o mandarim, cantonês...os vários dialectos podem ler um mesmo texto, mesmo que a sua pronúncia seja diferente e muitas vezes podem não se entender.
