EVOCAÇÕES DE DISPARATES GLOBALIZADOS TÃO GRANDES QUANTO OS PASTÉIS DE BACALHAU COM QUEIJO DA SERRA – 1

Em 1974, um quarteto de suecos (com uma norueguesa) concorre ao Eurofestival com uma canção cantada em inglês, invocando de forma assaz ligeira (veja-se a letra abaixo) a batalha de Waterloo de que, por coincidência, hoje se comemora o bicentenário.

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender.
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.
The history book on the shelf. Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
