L'Hippopotame

12 anos de L'Hippopotame e o fim.

noreply@blogger.com (Ana Savini) — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 21:43:00 +0000

Hoje o L'Hippopotame faz 12 anos. 12 anos atrás eu estava me recuperando de um período extremamente difícil da minha vida e um tanto perdida sem saber o que fazer com essa vida que eu tinha quase perdido naquele ano.

Eu lia um ou outro blog naquela época e resolvi que ia criar um pra mim. Não lembro mais por que resolvi dar o nome L'Hippopotame - o nome em si eu expliquei aqui - mas resolvi que seria um lugar onde eu ia postar tudo o que eu achasse legal.

E fiz isso durante um pouco mais de 11 anos. Postei aqui centenas de coisas que ia achando por aí. E por aqui conheci amigos, perdi amigos, terminei um casamento e comecei outro. Se não fosse pelo L'Hippopotame eu não teria a família maravilhosa que tenho hoje.

Mas aí os anos passaram. E a internet, as redes sociais, a interação online, tudo isso mudou radicalmente nessa última década. Tudo ficou mais dinâmico, pessoal, rápido. E um dia percebi que tinha transformado sem querer o meu stories no meu perfil pessoal do Instagram num L'Hippopotame novo. Um L'Hippopotame mais dinâmico, pessoal, rápido.

E depois de quase um ano sem postar nada, vi que era a hora de encarar a verdade e definitivamente encerrar o blog. Quero agradecer a todos os poucos que talvez ainda estejam por aqui, obrigada por acompanharem por todos esses anos.

Vou manter o blog no ar, pelo menos enquanto existir o Blogger.

A gente se vê por aí.

FELIZ NATAL

Música para um sábado qualquer | Suicide Blonde - INXS

noreply@blogger.com (Ana Savini) — Sat, 29 Sep 2018 13:10:00 +0000

Suicide Blonde

INXS

Don't you know what you're doing

You've got a death wish

Suicide blonde

Suicide blonde was the color of her hair

Like a cheap distraction for a new affair

She knew it would finish before it began

Wow baby I think you lost the plan

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

She stripped to the beat but her clothes stay on

White light everywhere but you can't see a thing

Such a squeeze

A mad sad moment

Glory to you

Take me there

Got some revelation

Put into your hands

Save you from your misery like rain across the land

Don't you see the color of deception

Turning your world around again

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

You want to make

You want to make her suicide blonde

You want to make

Aww

That's the story

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

Love devastation

You want to make her suicide blonde

Love devastation, suicide blonde

Música para um sábado qualquer | Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes

Bette Davis Eyes

Kim Carnes

Her hair is Harlow gold

Her lips, sweet surprise

Her hands are never cold

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn her music on you

You won't have to think twice

She's pure as New York snow

She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you

She'll unease you

All the better just to please you

She's precocious and she knows just

What it takes to make a pro blush

She got Greta Garbo standoff sighs

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home

It whets her appetite

She'll lay you on her throne

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you

Roll you like you were dice

Until you come out blue

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you

When she snows you

Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you

She's ferocious and she knows just

What it takes to make a pro blush

All the boys think she's a spy

She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you

She'll unease you

All the better just to please you

She's precocious and she knows just

What it takes to make a pro blush

All the boys think she's a spy

She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you

She'll unease you

Just to please you

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you

When she snows you

She knows you

She's got Bette Davis eyes

Música para um sábado qualquer | Wicked Game - Chris Isaak

noreply@blogger.com (Ana Savini) — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 22:51:00 +0000

Wicked Game

Chris Isaak

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you, with you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game you play to make me feel this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.

What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

And I wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I... (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one.

Filme australiano clássico da Sessão da Tarde com um final sensacional.

Música para um sábado qualquer | Ça Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand

noreply@blogger.com (Ana Savini) — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 15:22:00 +0000

Ça Plane Pour Moi

Plastic Bertrand

Gît sur mon lit

A bouffé sa langue

En buvant (tronc) mon whisky

Quant à moi

Peu dormi, vidé, brimé

J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière

Où j'ai eu un flash

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

En quatre couleurs

Allez hop!

Un matin

Une (louloute) est venue chez-moi

Poupée de Cellophane

Cheveux chinois

Un sparadrap

Une gueule de bois

A bu ma bière

Dans un grand verre

En caoutchouc

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Comme un indien dans son igloo

Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi

Ça plane pour moi

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop! La nana

Quel panard!

Quelle vibration!

De s'envoyer

Sur le paillasson

Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée

"You are the King of the divan!"

Qu'elle me dit en passant

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

I am the King of the divan

Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi

Ça plane pour moi

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop!

T'occupe

T'inquiète

Touche pas ma planète

It's not today

Quel le ciel me tombera sur la tête

Et que l'alcool me manquera

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop! Ma nana

S'est tirée

S'est barrée

Enfin c'est (marre) à tout casser

L'évier, le bar me laissant seul

Comme un grand connard

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Le pied dans le plat

Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi

Ça plane pour moi

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi

Ça plane pour moi

Música para um sábado qualquer | Deeper and Deeper - Madonna

noreply@blogger.com (Ana Savini) — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 18:36:00 +0000

Deeper and Deeper

Madonna

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter

[Chorus:]

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

That's what my mama told me

Round and round and round you go

When you find love you'll always know

I let my father mold me

[Bridge:]

Daddy couldn't be all wrong

(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)

And my mama made me learn this song

(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)

That's why

[chorus]

The deeper I go

All is fair in love she said

Think with your heart, not with your head

That's what my mama told me

All the little things you do

Will end up coming back to you

I let my father mold me

[bridge]

[chorus, repeat]

Someone said that romance was dead

And I believed it instead of remembering

What my mama told me

Let my father mold me

Then you tried to hold me

You remind me what they said

This feeling inside

I can't explain

But my love is alive

And I'm never gonna hide it again

[bridge]

[chorus]

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

Never gonna hide it again

Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter

Never gonna have to pretend

[repeat]

You got to just let your body move to the music

You got to just let your body go with the flow

Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

I can't keep from falling in love with you

You know there's nothing better that I'd like to do
