23: Ich kann leider kein Portugiesisch, aber ich könnte ja...

Ich kann leider kein Portugiesisch, aber ich könnte ja schwören, dass es ein Zitat von Pessoa sein muß. Ich bin ein großer Fan von ihm und durch Pessoa bin ich auch auf Lissabon gekommen. Man begegnet ihm ständig, und hat immer das Gefühl, er müßte um die nächste Ecke biegen oder im Café sitzen, wo man grad seinen Espresso bestellt hat.

Actually, can you translate the text for me? I don't speak any portuguese, but I thought it might be a quotation from a book of Fernando Pessoa..Would be great!!

oohhh dear, I do not speak Portuguese either ):

I believe that I know what it says, but for not making mistakes I'll do some research and let you know ok? :)

Wow! Tricky text to translate. This is more a "saying" than a normal text. So here it goes "We have nothing that it's ours, except the time that those who have no place to go, freely enjoy".

Hum!

@Acrib Hey, many many thanks for your help!! Very nice, I was so curious what it could say! Isn't the saying very typical for the portuguese saudade? To me it sounds as if from an Fado song, but maybe that's too much a cliché. All the best!
