❑ TEXTO 1:
>> SIGNIFICADO/TRADUÇÃO DA MÚSICA:
* Dua Lipa, conhecida por seu estilo pop moderno, utiliza a música para transmitir uma mensagem de autoconfiança e independência.
As referências a 'diamantes sob os olhos' e 'nenhum cabelo fora do lugar' simbolizam a capacidade de manter a compostura e a beleza mesmo quando se está passando por momentos difíceis, como um coração partido ou um mundo que está desmoronando.
A repetição do verso 'I could dance' reforça a ideia de que, independentemente do que aconteça, ela tem a força para continuar.
A música também aborda a ideia de que a noite é um momento de libertação, onde as lágrimas e a dor podem ser deixadas de lado para dar lugar à celebração e à alegria.
A dança, neste contexto, é tanto uma fuga quanto uma forma de expressão, permitindo que a protagonista se sinta viva e presente, apesar das turbulências emocionais.
'Dance The Night' é, portanto, uma ode à resiliência feminina e à capacidade de encontrar alegria e força mesmo nos momentos mais desafiadores.

Dance The Night
Dua Lipa
Baby, you can find me under the lights
Baby, você pode me encontrar sob as luzes
Diamonds under my eyes
Diamantes sob meus olhos
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Aumente o ritmo, você não quer apenas
Come along for the ride?
vir junto ao passeio?
Ooh, my outfit so tight
Ooh, minhas roupas bem apertadas
You can see my heartbeat tonight
Você pode ver meu batimento cardíaco esta noite
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
Eu posso suportar as críticas, baby, é melhor acreditar
That's the moment I shine
Que é nesses momentos que eu brilho
Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Porque todo romance se agita e se curva
Don't give a damn
Não me importo
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Quando a noite chega, eu não derramo lágrimas
Baby, no chance
Baby, sem chance
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar
Watch me dance, dance the night away
me veja dançar, dançar a noite toda
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my
face
Meu coração poderia estar queimando, mas você não verá isso em meu rosto
Watch me dance, dance the night away
me veja dançar, dançar a noite toda
I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place
Continuo mantendo o clima animado, sem um único fio de cabelo fora do lugar
Lately, I've been moving close to the edge
Ultimamente, venho me aproximando do limite
Still be looking my best
Continuo em minha melhor forma
I stay on the beat, you can count on me
Eu mantenho o ritmo, você pode contar comigo
I ain't missing no steps
Eu não perco nenhum passo
Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my
face
Watch me dance (dance), dance the night away
(uh-huh)
I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place
When my heart breaks (they'll never see it, never see
it)
Quando meu coração se parte (eles nunca o verão, nunca o verão)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
Quando meu mundo se abala (eu me sinto viva, eu me sinto viva)
I don't play it safe (ooh)
Eu assumo riscos (ooh)
Don't you know about me? (uh-huh)
Você não me conhece?
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar
Even when the tears are flowing like diamonds on my face
Mesmo quando as lágrimas estão escorrendo como diamantes em meu rosto
I still keep the party going, not one hair out
of place (yes, I can)
Eu continuo mantendo o clima animado, sem um único fio de cabelo fora do lugar (sim, eu posso)
Even when the tears are flowing like diamonds on my face (yes, I can, yes, I can)
Mesmo quando as lágrimas estão escorrendo como diamantes em meu rosto (sim, eu posso, sim, eu posso)

Cillian Murphy has now been recognised as a
Hollywood heavyweight after winning his first Oscar for
playing the father of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer.
Depois de fazer seu nome lutando contra zumbis em "28 Days Later" e comandar uma gangue implacável em Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy agora é reconhecido como um peso-pesado de Hollywood após ganhar seu primeiro Oscar por interpretar o pai da bomba atômica em Oppenheimer.

- "get serious" – levar a sério, dar a devida importância a algo ou alguém, considerar algo como algo de grande responsabilidade. .

peacemakers everywhere".

and 12.
Ships and seamanship
By Jan Bill
Although shipbuilding traditions in
Viking-Age Scandinavia were not fundamentally
different from those in other parts of northern
Europe, archaeological evidence shows that Viking
ships were lighter, slimmer, faster, and thus
probably better sailers than the heavier vessels used
by the English and, presumably, the Franks at that
time.
There are two main reasons for these
differences. The first is geographical. In
Scandinavia waterways and access to the sea were
more important factors in determining the location
of settlements than they were in other parts of
northern Europe. In Norway and Sweden most
people lived near the coast or around large lakes,
while the forests and mountains were very sparsely
settled. Inland waterways were not only sheltered;
they were also routes to the sea. No part of
Viking-Age Denmark was far from the sea; it was
virtually an archipelago, joined to the Continent by
a narrow strip of land, and separated from the
interior of the great Scandinavian peninsula by a
deep barrier of forest. These natural features also
meant that the authority of many rulers in
Viking-Age Scandinavia, unlike that of their
contemporaries in Europe, to a large extent
depended on ships and control of the sea. The
extensive empire that Danish kings ruled at the end
of the eighth century was to a significant degree
based on naval power.
The second reason is historical.
Scandinavia was sufficiently remote from the
Romans and, later, the Franks for its political and
religious life to flourish relatively unaffected by the
transformations that occurred in other parts of
Europe in the first millennium AD. One feature that
survived was the central role of the ship as both a
religious and secular symbol, a role that is
illustrated by the fact that Bronze-Age stone
ship-settings and metal representations of ships
were already well developed over a thousand years
before Christ. The symbolic significance of ships
naturally led to refinements in their construction: a fine ship conferred prestige on its owner. In the clash
between Christian and Nordic culture that occurred in
the Viking Age, ship burials were more frequent than
they had previously been, implying that ships had
acquired even greater significance as a religious
symbol, at least among the pagans who resisted the
advance of the new religion.
The symbolic and practical importance of
ships in early Scandinavian society resulted in such
improvements in ship design that Scandinavians were
well equipped in comparison with other north
Europeans. The contrast was all the greater because in
many parts of Europe one of the main functions of
ships had long been to carry cargoes, a purpose for
which speed and elegance were not highly prized
qualities. On the Atlantic and the North Sea Viking
ships met the same challenges as the ships of the
English, Frisians, and Franks, but they did so for
different reasons.
