Wish you all a happy 2017 and a lovely life!  Lots and lots of happy
   new years, full of love, good life projects and happy endings...  <3
   I know some people here will think "Seasons Of Love" is 'cheesy' or it
   sucks, but this is one of my favorite songs and I think it has a good
   message about measuring the years of our lives.
   Live long and prosper.  And sincerely try to be happy.  I am not asking
   to ignore all the fuckups in the whole world, it's impossible, but to
   manage them and their effects in the best possible way, trying to live
   well, with serenity, with less hate, anger, bad feelings in your
   heart...  :)
   There is a lovely Brazilian song, a beautiful musical poem named 'Samba
   da Benção'  ('Blessing Samba' or 'Blessed Samba?  I don't know the best
   translation in this case, sorry!)  which begins with the verses  "É
   melhor ser alegre que ser triste / Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe
   / É assim como a luz no coração"  ("It's better to be happy than to be
   sad / Happiness is the best thing that exists / It's like a light in
   the heart").  It's true!  :)

   English, it isn't a "wow, the best translation in the whole world!",
   but it's better than my translation, obviously, haha!!  ;)
   This version by Vinicius de Moraes is pretty sweet.  I love Vinicius.
   As he says in the poem, he was "the blackest white man in the Brazil"
   and talks about happyness, sadness, love, "saudade", and pay tribute to
   the African Gods and the black origins of samba, one of most famous
   Brazilian musical styles.
   Happy New Year!!!  :D

   Seasons Of Love  -  '​Rent' movie
   [3]https://youtu.be/UvyHuse6buY

   Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
   Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
   Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
   How do you measure, measure a year?

   In daylights, in sunsets
   In midnights, in cups of coffee
   In inches, in miles
   In laughter, in strife

   In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
   How do you measure a year in the life

   How about love?
   How about love?
   How about love?
   Measure in love
   Seasons of love
   Seasons of love

   Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
   Five hundred twenty-five thousand
   Journeys to plan
   Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
   How do you measure the life
   Of a woman or a man?

   In truths that she learned
   Or in times that he cried
   In bridges he burned
   Or the way that she died

   It's time now to sing out
   Tho' the story never ends
   Let's celebrate
   Remember a year in the life of friends

   Remember the love
   Remember the love
   Remember the love
   Measure in love
   Measure, measure your life in love
   Seasons of love
   Seasons of love​
