Twinkle, twinkle, little star lyrics:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

By Ann and Jane Taylor (1793–1824) from Rhymes for the Nursery published in 1806.

John Miles - Music ( was my first love)



Lyrics:

Music was my first love
and it will be my last.
Music of the future
and music of the past.

To live without my music
would be impossible to do.
In this world of troubles,
my music pulls me through.

Instrumental

Music was my first love
and it will be last.
Music of the future
and music of the past
and music of the past
and music of the past.

Instrumental

Music was my first love
and it will be my last.
Music of the future
and music of the past.

To live without my music
would be impossible to do.
In this world of troubles,
my music pulls me through.

Their first great-grandchild, Miss Savannah Phillips, the daughter of Peter and Autumn Phillips, was born in 2010. Their second great-grandchild, Miss Isla Elizabeth, the second dauther of Peter and Autumn Phillips, was born in 2012.

In the summer of 2006, The Queen celebrated her 80th birthday by taking a cruise with all her family through the Western Isles of Scotland.

Portugal wins the " RIO + 20 Global Youth Music Contest"



This song, an ode to our planet, begins by exalting its beauty, perfection, and geological history. It continues by recognizing the errors committed by humanity in the name of progress and development, and culminates with the desire for change and awakening in each of us: the Earth is a living thing, and like all of us, needs care, love and attention.

Through the tender and innocent voices of youth in the Children's Choir of Santo Amaro de Oeiras--an example of a 50-year-old organization that has survived through collaboration and teamwork--this song strives to deliver its message to the politicians of the world: the future that we want is dependent on our collaborative energy and strength. Together, we achieve more!

The musical content is entirely created by my family: Carlos Gutkin (father), composer and guitarist; Yara Gutkin (daughter), conductor and arranger; Anahí Gutkin (daughter), harp; and Kent Queener (son), accordion.

The lyrics are by Rita Fouto, co-director of FAREDUCA - Education for Sustainability, a business dedicated to educational projects concerning art and the environment.

The video reflects months of our team's work, inspired by love of art and our planet, without financial motivations. We're very pleased by our project and its ties to sustainability and related causes.

We're presenting this vídeo in the GYMC, a Rio 20 music competition.
