Partir JFC (Based on Gérald Olivieri Soundtrack) by José F Castro - JFC (Petrus Castrus) published on 2022-11-28T13:27:25Z Christopher Columbus first came to Portugal to ask for some ships for his idea of reaching India sailing west. But the estimate he presented to the Portuguese court of the distances to reach Cipango and China were clearly wrong, and the request was refused. It was suicide. As he stumbled upon the Antilles, Columbus found his salvation and glory. But he never acknowledged that he was wrong, and that's why the new continent was not called Colombia. Amerigo Vesppucci wrote a popular book about the new territory, which was eventually named after him. PARTIR Pour arriver, il faut partir. I faut rêver d'une quelque part, parfois envers et contre tous, tout enivré de faux espoirs. Il y a d'étonnantes découvertes qui nous attendent à l'horizon sur les chemins pris par des fous les Christophe Colomb qui risquent tout cherchant la gloire d'inouïs voyages et les richesses, et les mirages pour étancher leur soif de faire pour s'affranchir d'être néant. Mais je ne pars pas, moi. Je ne suis pas fou... Je fais partie des sots bien sages qui restent au port bien prudemment pour éviter tous les naufrages, pour échapper aux coups de vent. Je peux vous dire, prenant de l'âge, que j'ai vécu sans rien trouver, que j'ai vieilli pour rien du tout. Tout, sauf l'ennui et le regret d'avoir raté la nef des fous. LEAVING To get somewhere, we need to leave. We have to dream about some place, sometimes against all odds, inebriated with false hopes. There are amazing discoveries that await us on the horizon on the paths taken by madmen the Christopher Columbus who risks everything seeking the glory of unheard voyages and the riches, and the mirages, to quench their thirst for doing something to free themselves from being nothing. But I'm not leaving. I'm not crazy... I am one of those wise fools who very cautiously stay in the harbor to avoid all shipwrecks, to keep away from the gusts of wind. I can tell you, now that I'm old, that I have lived without a finding, that I grew old without a purpose. Nothing, except the boredom and the regret of having missed the ship of fools. Genre Classical Comment by Denys Swyfer Il est de ces voyages intérieurs dans lesquelles soufflent des vents qui vous emmènent..

Wish, I had taken French in school, then I would also understand the text 😁 2023-01-01T13:16:31Z Comment by Till Indy Excellent and outstanding! 2022-12-30T09:57:46Z Comment by David Dunham A majestic song set to a majestic track with a majestic truth to be told...that for a life to be well lived, the risks of living fully, at times adventurously, must be preferred to the complacency of comfort. Beautifully done Jose. 2022-12-29T01:49:50Z Comment by Brian McDonald | Composer Excellent.

This is really fantastic1 2022-12-13T17:32:41Z Comment by Carlos Vivanco Very good! 2022-12-10T16:02:59Z Comment by Francesco Cartocci Bel testo, come sempre! 2022-12-09T10:13:09Z Comment by Francesco Cartocci But it doesn't seem like it went badly for Christopher Columbus either, he has 8 nations whose name, in some way, derives from him, and everyone, really everyone knows that America was discovered by him and not by Vespucci. Acceptable :))) 2022-12-09T10:12:11Z
