Saudade, que não se traduz....


Por alta recomendação (!!!), deparei-me com este artigo num site chamado The Morning News. O autor, Philip Graham, viveu um ano em Lisboa e aprendeu muito, inclusive a sentir saudade... recomendo a leitura aqui, aguçando-vos o apetite com um pequeno excerto.

"Why aren’t you listening to Portuguese music? The Portuguese are certainly listening to us. When I lived in Lisbon a couple of years ago, I visited apartments lined with shelves of American rock, folk, blues, and jazz CDs. One of the city’s main newspapers, Diário de Notícias, paid homage to the careers of American and British rock stars on their birthdays—David Bowie and Tom Waits, among others—with multi-paged inserts that included thumbnail photos of even the most obscure albums, accompanied by mini-reviews."
