Nota de Despedida

(Prometo ao que ao longo deste texto não vou fazer piadas do tipo: O melhor do Faial é a vista para o Pico)

Hoje foi um dia de angústias para muitos professores. Uns ficaram no desemprego, outros ficaram na escola que queriam, outros souberam que vão ter de sair do continente para vir para os Açores, e outros souberam que vão ter de sair de São Miguel para ir para o Faial.
Acredito que vá ter um ano bom na Horta, mas a hora da despedida é sempre dura, por isso...

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Monty Python)
Letra e Música: Eric Idle

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle,
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems Jolly Rotten
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word,
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath.

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...
