Religiosa Portuguesa, A Page #5

We can't officialise

our relationship.

At first I thought I'd adopt him,

but we can barely feed

our own family.

What will you do?

This summer I'll have to put him

in the orphanage.

Does he know?

No.

What if I found a family

to adopt him?

Where?

In France.

That would be a good deed.

I know one couple in particular.

Give me your phone number.

Maybe I'll have some news

before I leave.

I often pray for this child.

What do you ask for?

The grace of God.

Have you obtained it for him?

If he receives it,

it's not thanks to my prayers.

So why pray?

To feel the presence of God.

See you soon.

I must go now.

But I'll come say goodbye

before I leave.

The scene is simple.

You receive the letter, read it,

let it fall and turn to the sea.

Then you exit the frame.

All right.

Quiet on the set.

We're about to roll.

Whenever you're ready, Denis.

Camera.

Clap.

Scene fourteen, shot one, take one.

Action.

Cut.

You've reached Alice and Thomas.

Leave a message after the beep.

Hello Alice and Thomas, it's Julie.

I'm calling from Lisbon,

where I'm doing a film.

I have something important

to discuss with you,

too complicated for a message.

Try me on my mobile,

or I'll call you back.

Speak to you soon.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Are you happy with your day?

Everything went well.

Has Martin left?

We took him straight to the airport.

It was close, but he made the plane.

Tonight he'll sleep in Paris.

What are you doing tonight?

Nothing special.

Let's paint the town of Lisbon.

We're shooting tomorrow.

Exactly. It'll put you in the mood.

If the director says so.

We'll be very reasonable.

I had the keys to life

But I did not open

The doors behind which

happiness lies

I had the keys to life

But I did not live

My whole life was a saudade

I had so many illusions

And I was betrayed

All my great hopes for love

were dashed

I don't know why I lament this life

If I don't even want another

If this is why I was born

If this is why I'm here

If this is all I deserve

I will not go

I will not go

Let them come

with their welcoming lips

Their fiery eyes

It's all over

The most beautifuI love may come

I will not go

I will not go

I had the keys to life

They stole from me

They killed the poetry inside me

They left me with only sadness

And fountains in my eyes

Which I never wanted

If this is why I was born

If this is why I'm here

If this is all I deserve

I will not go

I will not go

Let them come

with their welcoming lips

Their fiery eyes

It's all over

The most beautifuI love may come

I will not go

I will not go

I have a red shawI

A memory of you

An embroidered secret

I sometimes wear when I go out
