JUST  a few words - as some of you know, I broke my shoulder and I am in the hospital; well, it �s 9 pm and some of the broken bones have gathered in the common room and we are singing fado - wonderful. people from other wards are arriving to check wha is happenin. Pity I can �t send you the audio.

Wow, a broken shoulder sounds both painful and complicated. Hope you get well soon and it �s great to read that even under these less than great circumstances you manage to have such positive energy; singing together in the hospital, simply fabulous! That �s really making the best of the situation I suppose!

A painful experience - your broken shoulder - led to such a wonderful moment in your life!  It is simply fantastic to see how people who got together under difficult  circustances can still enjoy life.  I really wish I could hear.  Will you sing "Uma casinha pequenina?". It was my favourite when I was a child.

Wasn �t Mar talking about sayings?  Here �s one that �s perfect for your situation.

get better soon,dear linda. I hope these prays! of broken hearts will heal your broken parts soon. Let me share the fado which I fell in love as soon as I heard it.

As coisas vulgares que ha na vida / (The usual things in your life)

Nao deixam saudades / (won �t make you miss them){"saudade" is a word that can �t be translated}

So as lembrancas que doem / (only the painful memories )

Ou fazem sorrir / (or those which make you smile)

Ha gente que fica na historia / (there are people who stay in history)

da historia da gente / ( our life �s history) e outras de quem nem o nome/ ( and other who we don �t even remember)

lembramos ouvir / (hearing their names) Sao emocoes que dao vida / (it are the emotions that bring life)

A saudade que trago/ (to the "saudade" that i bring in me)

Hugs&kisses
