Versão Madeirense by Minha Aquela/ Lisa Coelho
Espero que estimem e aqui vai a letra ????
Ame não, ame não
Ai ai
Sim, sabes que eu venho apreciando-te
Tenho que tomar um copinho

Vi, que também vens apreciando-me
Mostra-me a tasquinha que eu cá vou
Tu, a beberes és pior que um animal
Tas sempre encravando, isso fica mal
E metes tudo no rol da venda do Russo
Yah,mas a nossa ponchinha é bem especial
Quando bebes uma queres sempre mais
E eu cá nem sou de beber; eu juro ????
AVIA-ME ISSO
Quero beber uma poncha, depois pá Machico
Pa comer um alto picado ou pão com chouriço
Pra não rabiçar quando tas comigo
AVIA-ME ISSO
Quero petiscar alguma coisa, eu cá não consigo
Não sei quem é que bebe de pança vazia
Eu cá sou teorado, não me meto nisso
QUERO TE VER BEBER
QUERO TE DAR A BEDEIRA
QUERO ENSINAR ESSA BOCA
O QUE É PONCHA DA MADEIRA
DEIXA-ME SÓ PASSAR CÂMARA DE LOBOS; A ZONA DE PERIGO
E DEPOIS DE PASSAR A BOFIA
AÍ É QUE VAI SER MAI'DISSO
AVIA-ME...
Yah, tenho a malta do governo esperando-me
Trago o aguardente e mais não dou
Sim, vou lhes ensinar como é que se faz a ponchinha à Pescador
Vem tudo pra vilha, que pra cidade eu não vou
Tu, a beberes és pior que um animal
Tas sempre encravando, isso fica mal
E metes tudo no rol, na venda do Russo
Yah, mas a nossa ponchinha é muito especial
Quando bebes uma queres sempre mais
E eu cá nem sou de beber, eu juro ????
AVIA-ME ISSO
Quero petiscar alguma coisa,
Eu cá não consigo
Não sei quem é que bebe de pança vazia
Eu cá sou teorado; não me meto nisso
Quero te ver beber
Quero te dar a bedeira
Quero ensinar essa boca
O que é poncha da Madeira
Deixa-me passar Câmara de Lobos; a zona de perigo
E depois de passar a bofia,
Aí é que vai ser mai'disso

Câmara Municipal Câmera de Lobos na Madeira maltrata cães vergonhoso
Eles não conseguem falar, mas nós conseguimos. Nós temos de contar, temos de falar, temos de gritar.
Por ordem do tribunal, 50 animais, animais esses que já estavam ao cuidado da Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cães, foram retirados de uma casa em Câmara de Lobos.
A Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cães vem acompanhando este caso há pouco mais de um mês e contesta esta decisão, a forma como foram retirados e transportados os animais.
Hoje, a AAC conseguiu retirar rapidamente 6 cães antes que fossem levados.
Vários animais ficaram muito feridos devido ao transporte inadequado. Transporte esse feito pela Câmara Municipal de Câmara de Lobos.
A Câmara Municipal da Câmara de Lobos já tinha conhecimento desta situação deste 2000, portanto, 17 anos.
A Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cães soube desta situação e no próprio dia interviu. Já tinhamos retirado desta casa cerca de 15 cães para adoção e estavamos a fornecer alimentação e cuidados veterinários a todos. A Dra. Cássia Mourão da AuQmia ClinicaVet estava a acompanhar todos os animais. A AAC iria continuar, como tem feito, a estar todos os dias nesta casa com vários voluntários a cuidar dos animais e a continuar a entregar animais para adoção. Já tinhamos agendado para a semana na Auqmia a esterilização das 30 fêmeas.
O tribunal ordenou a retirada dos mesmos sem que a Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cães fosse contactada.
O tribunal deu ordem para que fossem encaminhados para o canil municipal de Câmara de Lobos, espaço esse que não existe neste concelho.
Depois de muitas horas dentro das carrinhas, sem saberem para onde levar os animais, foram então encaminhados para a SPAD, que com muita dificuldade alojou 34 cães e os restante 16 foram alojados num armazém de Câmara de Lobos que não tem condições próprias para receber animais.
A Associação Ajuda a Alimentar Cães acompanhou o dia inteiro este caso nos locais sem nada poder fazer para impedir.
Os animais foram retirados do seu meio para uma situação traumatizante.
Uma das tutoras dos animais foi transportada para a Casa de Saúde Câmara Pestana onde está internada porque foi encontrada na ponte dos socorridos para se suicidar.
Destruiram o trabalho de quem luta pelos animais. Destruíram a alma de 50 cães. Destruíram a vida de três senhoras, tutoras destes anjos.
Isto não é zelar pelo bem estar e pelo direito dos animais e das pessoas.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Madeira ( mə-DEER-ə, mə-DAIR-ə; Portuguese: [mɐˈðejɾɐ, -ˈðɐj-]), officially the Autonomous Region of Madeira (Região Autónoma da Madeira), is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (along with the Azores). It is an archipelago situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. Its total population was estimated in 2011 at 267,785. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, which is located on the main island's south coast.
The archipelago is just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of Tenerife, Canary Islands. Bermuda and Madeira, a few time zones apart, are the only land in the Atlantic on the 32nd parallel north. It includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas, administered together with the separate archipelago of the Savage Islands. The region has political and administrative autonomy through the Administrative Political Statue of the Autonomous Region of Madeira provided for in the Portuguese Constitution. The autonomous region is an integral part of the European Union as an outermost region.Madeira was claimed by Portuguese sailors in the service of Prince Henry the Navigator in 1419 and settled after 1420. The archipelago is considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Age of Discovery.
Today, it is a popular year-round resort, being visited every year by about 1.4 million tourists, almost five times its population. The region is noted for its Madeira wine, gastronomy, historical and cultural value, flora and fauna, landscapes (laurel forest) which are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and embroidery artisans. The main harbour in Funchal has long been the leading Portuguese port in cruise liner dockings, receiving more than half a million tourists though its main port in 2017, being an important stopover for commercial and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and North Africa. In addition, the International Business Centre of Madeira also known as the Madeira Free Trade Zone, was created formally in the 1980s as a tool of regional economic policy. It consists of a set of incentives, mainly tax-related, granted with the objective of attracting foreign direct investment based on international services into Madeira.

SUMMARY
=======
Madeira ( mə-DEER-ə, mə-DAIR-ə; Portuguese: [mɐˈðejɾɐ, -ˈðɐj-]), officially the Autonomous Region of Madeira (Região Autónoma da Madeira) is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (along with the Azores). It is an archipelago situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. Its total population was estimated in 2011 at 267,785. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, which is located on the main island's south coast.
The archipelago is just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of Tenerife, Canary Islands. Bermuda and Madeira, a few time zones apart, are the only land in the Atlantic on the 32nd parallel north. It includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas, administered together with the separate archipelago of the Savage Islands. The region has political and administrative autonomy through the Administrative Political Statue of the Autonomous Region of Madeira provided for in the Portuguese Constitution. The autonomous region is an integral part of the European Union as an outermost region.Madeira was claimed by Portuguese sailors in the service of Prince Henry the Navigator in 1419 and settled after 1420. The archipelago is considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Age of Discovery.
Today, it is a popular year-round resort, being visited every year by about 1.4 million tourists, almost five times its population. The region is noted for its Madeira wine, gastronomy, historical and cultural value, flora and fauna, landscapes (laurel forest) which are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and embroidery artisans. The main harbour in Funchal has long been the leading Portuguese port in cruise liner dockings, receiving more than half a million tourists though its main port in 2017, being an important stopover for commercial and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and North Africa. In addition, the International Business Centre of Madeira also known as the Madeira Free Trade Zone, was created formally in the 1980s as a tool of regional economic policy. It consists of a set of incentives, mainly tax-related, granted with the objective of attracting foreign direct investment based on international services into Madeira.
