Por que crescem?





Billy Dean - Let Them Be Little - Letra e Música do compositor country americano

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon
So, let them be little 'cause they're only that way for awhile
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, but let them be little
I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, your prayers and your wishes
And now that you're teaching me how only a child can see
Tonight while we're on our knees all I ask is please
Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for awhile
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, but let them be little
So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around and
It's time to let them go
So, let them be little 'cause they're only that way for awhile
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, just let them be little
Mm, Let them be little

A montagem foi feita para Marcia, Heloisa, Nadya, Julie, Bia, Andrea, Chris, Aluísio, Dani.

A must! Whatever you do, the setting has to be perfect for your intentions. That is why a rigged vintage Mercedes Benz awaited right in the middle of the luxuriant Parque Lage. A film crew bustled about, providing last minute adjustments for the continuation of the filming of Ronald Biggs’ script “Prisoner of Rio”.

It was the end of the 1980s, on a calm Saturday morning of early Fall. Only a select group were privy to the explosion about to happen and all present awaited for the big star to arrive. As usual, he was late (no it is not Ronnie!): Mr Lech Majewski, the Polish director contracted to orchestrate the filming, would take the set by storm sometime soon (or not), accompanied by his considerable big entourage. After a few hours, he would order champagne be served lavishly.

A small group of foreign investors gathered at the park to watch the activity with their Brazilian partners, and many of the latter had their hearts bleeding: imported cars were rare in Rio de Janeiro by then and the crazy director was about to destroy one beautiful model!

Parque Lage was among the fine choices of scenic views of our city as background for “Prisoner in Rio”. It is located between Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and the foot of the Corcovado with its 500 hectares of gardens, forest, historic building, trails and art school. Primarily a sugar cane mill, the site was transformed to residence later on. The British landscape architect John Tyndale designed the gardens by mid 1800s and the majestic house was built only in 1920, as a declaration of love: an homage to his wife, the owner imported its marbles, tiles and decorative bricks from Italy, along with the draftsman Mario Vodrel.

The park now is a heritage of the city and belongs to the Government of Rio de Janeiro, since it was given to Banco do Brasil to pay for debts.

It is worth exploring Parque Lage to discover its hidden treasures: an aquarium, a romantic cave, the Tudor entrance of the stables, the Café, plus, those with artistic veins will find a variety of courses offered at the Escola de Artes Visuais. The address is Rua Jardim Botânico 414, telephone 21 3257 1800 and further information may be found at www.eavparquelage.rj.gov.br.


Despite many Brazilians cast in the movie, the account of the 1963 Great Train robbery with almost 3 million sterling pounds by Ronnie Biggs never reached the carioca’s big silver screens.
