Alentejo!!

The sun just came up, here in northern Denmark the sky is blue and cloud free, i miss Home.
 There are somedays like this, i does'n matter how happy you are in the place you're living, if you are away from Home, soon or later you will miss it. It has been 12 years now since i moved from Portugal, and i had since then a lot of days like this, i kind of like them now, nostalgic, kind of sad but still i like them, i love to think about my Home, my friends, my family, the smell, the warm days and so on... and then tomorrow i will be in love again with Aalborg. But today i Miss Alentejo and thefore i am going to illustrate a poem i wrote once, it is in portuguese thou. 
Have a nice day my Friends!


As árvores sedentas
Gritam por vida e não por água
E as planicies secas
Sentem-se sós e abandonadas
E os montes brancos
Cairam, não foram derrubados
E as gentes da terra
Fugiram quase obrigados
E eu ouço os gritos
De uma Terra em sofrimento
E sinto a dor
Que me come por dentro
E abro os meus braços
E abraço-te forte
E sinto inveja
De quem tem a sorte
De viver nos teus campos
De quem sente as calmas
De uma tarde de Agosto
E se senta á porta
Para apanhar o fresco ao sol posto
De quem prova
O teu pão todos os dias
E bebe o teu vinho
Que o teu sol amadorou.
