... but the first time we underline, here,
the luminous connection
between Bulgarian and Portuguese Dreams
each and every sunrise on
THE 1ST OF JULY!
AMALIA
RODRIGUES
was born... in July.
Sometime in July ~ no one knows
the exact date; we're not sure why!?
But she was assuredly born at some
point in this month... and, now,
were she still with us...
she would be a Centenarian.
During her lifetime, not knowing
the exact date of her birth, she chose
to celebrate her birthday on the
1st day of the month ~
a luminous choice...!
... so it is with special gusto,
this year, that we sing along
with Uriah Heep
and all Bulgarians
in the (very) early hours of
the first sunrise of July
for what would have been
the 100th (101st?) anniversary
of the Queen of Fado
also...!!!
JULY MORNING
symbolizing and representing
so much - so many things, verily -
this added coincidence
is like...
the cherry on the cake
~ she would say!
