AND SO WE GO TO THE STARS

AND SO WE GO TO THE STARS

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

***

The day your flesh and mine were only one

The feeling of freedom, no emptiness inside

Your smell lingers on my skin

I feel your long blond hair among my fingers

***

Love was meant to be

Lover's heart, pilgrims, souls searching for the mistery

Purity, divinity

The day I got you under my skin

***

Marble castles, ivory towers

Ebony eyes in such a pale skin

Love at first sight

***

Feelings always mingled with a certain apprehension

Love was meant to be

And so we go to the stars

THE POSSESSED HOUSE

THE POSSESSED HOUSE

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

***

Echoes from the past

Memories that never last

A flashlight before an eye

The gap between Ego and I

***

The subconscious is hidden inside

Stairs go down where no one can abide

The burdens I will bear

Forever in dispair

***

Voices calling for help

An endless echo in my soul

Old houses, ancient history, eternity

***

The memory of heavy wooden clocks with thick glasses

Pieces of furniture built in a time where beauty was supposed to be

Yesterday, it was supposed to be - the possessed house...

MODAL VERBS - HAVE TO, DON'T HAVE TO, MUST, MUSN'T (MODAL VERBS)

Em inglês, verbos auxiliares modais são verbos que só ocorrem na presença de outro verbo, são defectivos na conjugação e não têm passado nem futuro (com exceção do can que tem passado e condicional).

HAVE TO:

We use have to to talk about strong obligation that comes from somewhere else, for example from you boss, you parents, a rule at school or work.
Examples:

I have to be home by ten. (My parents told me so.) I must be home by ten. I have a very difficult day tomorrow. (It is my own decision.)

I have to get up early, because I start work at 8. (It is a rule.) I should get up early. (Now I stay in bed until lunchtime.)

DON'T HAVE TO:

Don't have to means that there isn't any obligation at all,there is no need to do it.
Don't have to is different from shouldn't and mustn't.
Examples:

I don't have to get up early at weekend. (I can stay in bed as long as I want.)

You mustn't tell lies. (It is very bad to tell lies.)

You don't have to go with me. (You can go with me if you want to.)

You shouldn't smoke. (It is bad for your health.)

MUST:

We often use must to say that something is essential or necessary. In general, must expresses personal obligation. Must expresses what the speaker thinks is necessary. Must is subjective. Look at these examples:
I must go.

I must stop smoking.
You must visit us soon.
He must work harder.

MUST NOT:

We use must not to say that something is not permitted or allowed, for example:
Passengers must not (musn't) talk to the driver.

Students musn't leave bicycles here.
Policemen musn't drink on duty.
