Ships and seamanship
Navios e tĂ©cnicas de navegação
  • 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.
Embora as tradiçÔes de construção naval na Escandinåvia da Era Viking não fossem fundamentalmente diferentes das de outras partes do norte da Europa, as provas arqueológicas mostram que os navios vikings eram mais leves, mais simples, mais råpidos e, portanto, provavelmente melhores velejadores do que as embarcaçÔes mais pesadas utilizadas pelos ingleses e, presumivelmente, pelos francos naquela época.

There are two main reasons for these differences.
Hå duas razÔes principais para estas diferenças.
The first is geographical. 
A primeira Ă© geogrĂĄfica.

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.
A primeira Ă© geogrĂĄfica. Na EscandinĂĄvia, as vias navegĂĄveis ​​e o acesso ao mar eram fatores mais importantes para determinar a localização dos povoados do que noutras partes do norte da Europa.

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.
Na Noruega e na SuĂ©cia, a maioria das pessoas vivia perto da costa ou em redor de grandes lagos, enquanto as florestas e as montanhas eram pouco povoadas. As vias navegĂĄveis ​​interiores nĂŁo estavam apenas abrigadas; eram tambĂ©m rotas para o mar.

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.
Nenhuma parte da Dinamarca da Era Viking estava longe do mar; era praticamente um arquipélago, unido ao continente por uma estreita faixa de terra e separado do interior da grande península escandinava por uma profunda barreira florestal.

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.
Estas caracterĂ­sticas naturais tambĂ©m significavam que a autoridade de muitos governantes na EscandinĂĄvia da Era Viking, ao contrĂĄrio dos seus contemporĂąneos na Europa, dependia em grande parte dos navios e do controlo do mar.

The extensive empire that Danish kings ruled at the end of the eighth century was to a significant degree based on naval power.
O extenso império que os reis dinamarqueses governaram (subjugaram) no final do século VIII baseava-se, em grande parte, no poder naval.

The second reason is historical.
A segunda razĂŁo Ă© histĂłrica. 

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.
A EscandinĂĄvia estava suficientemente distante dos Romanos e, mais tarde, dos Francos para que a sua vida polĂ­tica e religiosa florescesse relativamente inalterada pelas transformaçÔes que ocorreram noutras partes da Europa no 1Âș milĂȘnio d.C.

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.
Uma característica que sobreviveu foi o papel central do navio como símbolo religioso e secular, papel que é ilustrado pelo facto de as representaçÔes de navios em pedra e em metal da Idade do Bronze jå estarem bem desenvolvidas mais de mil anos antes de Cristo.

The symbolic significance of ships naturally led to refinements in their construction: a fine ship conferred prestige on its owner.
O significado simbólico dos navios conduziu naturalmente a refinamentos na sua construção: um bom navio conferia prestígio ao seu proprietårio.

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.
No conflito entre a cultura cristã e a nórdica que ocorreu na Era Viking, os enterramentos em navios eram mais frequentes do que anteriormente, o que implica que os navios adquiriram um significado ainda maior como símbolo religioso, pelo menos entre os pagãos que resistiram ao avanço da nova religião.

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.
A importùncia simbólica e pråtica dos navios na sociedade escandinava primitiva resultou em tantas melhorias no design dos navios que os escandinavos estavam bem equipados em comparação com outros povos do norte da Europa.

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.
O contraste era ainda maior porque, em muitas partes da Europa, uma das principais funçÔes dos navios era, desde hå muito tempo, transportar carga, um propósito para o qual a velocidade e a elegùncia não eram qualidades muito valorizadas.

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.
No Atlùntico e no Mar do Norte, os navios vikings enfrentaram os mesmos desafios que os navios dos ingleses, frísios e francos, mas por razÔes diferentes.

Diamonds under my eyes
Diamantes sob meus olhos
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Aumente o ritmo, vocĂȘ nĂŁo 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
VocĂȘ pode ver meu batimento cardĂ­aco esta noite
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
Eu posso suportar as crĂ­ticas, baby, Ă© melhor acreditar
That's the moment I shine
Que Ă© 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
NĂŁo me importo
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Quando a noite chega, eu nĂŁo derramo lĂĄgrimas
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 vocĂȘ nĂŁo verĂĄ 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 Ășnico 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, vocĂȘ pode contar comigo
I ain't missing no steps
Eu nĂŁo perco nenhum passo

Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my face

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)
VocĂȘ nĂŁo me conhece?
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar, eu poderia dançar

>> SIGNIFICADO DA MÚSICA:
Fonte: https://www.letras.mus.br/tones-and-i/dance-monkey/significado.html
* Dua Lipa, conhecida por seu estilo pop moderno, utiliza a mĂșsica para transmitir uma mensagem de autoconfiança e independĂȘncia.
As referĂȘncias a 'diamantes sob os olhos' e 'nenhum cabelo fora do lugar' simbolizam a capacidade de manter a compostura e a beleza mesmo quando se estĂĄ passando por momentos difĂ­ceis, como um coração partido ou um mundo que estĂĄ desmoronando.
A repetição do verso 'I could dance' reforça a ideia de que, independentemente do que aconteça, ela tem a força para continuar.
A mĂșsica tambĂ©m aborda a ideia de que a noite Ă© um momento de libertação, onde as lĂĄgrimas e a dor podem ser deixadas de lado para dar lugar Ă  celebração e Ă  alegria.
A dança, neste contexto, Ă© tanto uma fuga quanto uma forma de expressĂŁo, permitindo que a protagonista se sinta viva e presente, apesar das turbulĂȘncias emocionais.
'Dance The Night' Ă©, portanto, uma ode Ă  resiliĂȘncia feminina e Ă  capacidade de encontrar alegria e força mesmo nos momentos mais desafiadores.
