An Original Thought, Or Maybe Not.
It is a realization that arrives later in life – that you are not as smart as you once thought.

Verde Vinho
Ninguém na rua, na noite fria,
só eu e o luar
Voltava a casa,
quando vi que havia
luz num velho bar
Não hesitei, fazia frio e nele entrei
Estando tão longe da minha terra,
tive a sensação
de ter entrado numa taberna
de Braga ou Monção
E um homem velho
se acercou e assim falou
Vamos brindar
com vinho verde que é do meu Portugal
e o vinho verde me fará recordar
A aldeia branca que deixei
atras do mar
Vamos brindar
com verde vinho pra que eu possa cantar
Canções do Minho que me fazem sonhar
com o momento de voltar
ao lar.
Falou-me então daquele dia triste
o velho Luiz
em que deixara tudo quanto existe
para ser feliz
A noiva, a mãe,
a casa, o pai e o cão também
Pensando agora naquela cena
que na estranja vi
Recordo a mágoa, recordo a pena
que com ele vivi.
Bom português,
regressa breve, vem de vez...
Vamos brindar
com vinho verde que é do meu Portugal
e o vinho verde me fará recordar
A aldeia branca que deixei
atras do mar
Vamos brindar
com verde vinho pra que eu possa cantar
Canções do Minho que me fazem sonhar
com o momento de voltar
ao lar.
