Our Forever Young

Why a Blog in English? And why “Forever Young”?

For some of us, this has been a journey that started in October 2010.

We are not experts yet, but it’s time to start writing and expressing in a more free way. A blog, a collective blog is a good way to share our opinions, ideas, poems, memories, impressions, desires… Text books, extra worksheets are important but they are already made and it’s good to produce our own texts.

Yes, we are here because “we never say never”. We do not agree with that Portuguese saying “burro velho não aprende línguas”. We are still young and ready to remember distant learning and ready to learn new things. It’s so good for our brain because it forces it to work! And when we go abroad it’s good to see that we can communicate in a different language.

Learning is an important goal in our lives. We believe that “it’s so hard to get old without a cause”.

Let’s face this challenge and in the end we’ll be happy with the result.

Forever Young

Let's dance in style, let’s dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? forever or never
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? forever, or never
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? forever, or never

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
