Chaves 2014 – Feira dos Santos 

Viva a feira! Viva a feira!

Há gente por toda a cidade

Animação não falta

Há, nos rostos das pessoas, felicidade.

São três dias no ano

31 de outubro, 1 e 2 de novembro

É um costume antigo

Quando começou? Já não me lembro.

É uma época do ano

Que atrai muitas pessoas de fora à região

Uma festa de caráter religioso

Que tem também um cariz pagão!

É assim durante 3 dias

Chaves sofre uma transformação

É a Feira dos Santos

Que faz parte da sua tradição!

Long live the fair! long live the fair!

 There are people all over the city

Animation is not lacking

There is happiness on people's faces.

There are three days in the year

October 31st, November 1st, and 2nd

It's an old custom

When did it start? I don't remember.

It's a time of year

That attracts many people from outside the region

A religious festival

That also has a pagan nature!

It's like this for three days

Chaves undergoes a transformation

Is the Fair of Saints

Which is part of its tradition!

A música toca na rádio

Faz muita companhia

Entremeada por anúncios

E interlocutores com muita energia.

Os ouvidos vão atentos

Aos sons que tocam

A tudo o que é dito

Aos assuntos que se focam.

Ouvem-se novas músicas

Mas também sons do passado

Um trabalho coletivo

Que me mantém acordado!

Despertar assim

Ajuda a relaxar

Para que o dia corra melhor

É preciso com a rádio certa acordar.

Music plays on the radio

Keeps a lot of company

Interspersed with announcements

And callers with lots of energy.

The ears go attentive

To the sounds that play

To everything that's said

To the subjects that are focused on.

We hear new songs

But also sounds from the past

A collective work

That keeps me awake.

Waking up like this

Helps to relax

To make the day go better

Gosto de aprender

Gosto de aprender

Tudo me desperta curiosidade

Há tanto que não sei

Essa é a realidade.

Muitos assuntos me interessam

Tenho vontade de estudar

Todos os dias há coisas novas

O mundo está sempre a girar.

Dá-me prazer ler teoria

Aplicar aquilo que aprendo

Tudo é novo conhecimento

De aprender nunca me arrependo.

Tomo consciência de que pouco ou nada sei

Há sempre tanto para aprender

Estudo temas diversos

Sobre tudo um pouco tento entender.

I enjoy learning

I enjoy learning

Everything wakes my curiosity

There is so much I don't know

That is the reality.

Many subjects interest me

I want to study

Every day there are new things

The world is always spinning.

It gives me pleasure to read theory

Apply what I learn

Everything is new knowledge

From learning I never regret.

I become aware that I know little or nothing

There is always so much to learn

I study diverse themes

I try to understand a little about everything.

Some people have

A great facility for lying

They say with their mouths

What with the mind they cannot feel.

They are people who with the body

Can't transmit

The fantasy they create

They live in fear that someone will find out.

Lying is never a solution

Better the truth to assume

Then make up some excuse

September is gone

October is almost over

The leaves have already started to fall

And the weather is also getting worse.

One after another

The seasons succeed

There are four, year after year,

Distributed in equal portions.

Summer is gone

The autumn has arrived

Another year of changes

So much is left behind.

No room for sorrow

For the time that has passed

However, how it was set up

Wintertime has already changed.

Sitting on the maple

Watching television

The night is long

I have the remote in my hand

I look at the screen

But I don't pay attention

I lose myself in my thoughts

I do some introspection.

I think about the day that passed

On what I saw, read, and learned

I take stock of everything

About what I lived.

I let go for a moment

This poem I stop to write

I take stock of this moment

That I can no longer hide from you!

I take back control of everything

I pay attention again

So, I stop to record
