Because Portuguese is not a disease.
(What a stupid rhyme!)



Vira e mexe

'Vira e mexe' is a Brazilian expression which is used referring to something we often do. 'Vira e mexe' I listen to classic music, or 'vira e mexe' I must solve some problem at work. But the funny thing is: it doesn’t make any sense in English. I think it doesn’t make any sense in any language. Literally translated it means 'turn and mix'. For example, turn and mix I cook pasta. Maybe 'turn and change', 'turn and shake' or 'twist and shout' (ok, not this last one).

I was thinking about it this afternoon, What kind of expression is that? Anyway, if it doesn’t make sense in English, neither does it in Portuguese. The point is: vira e mexe we say 'vira e mexe'.

And I hope you vira e mexe access my blog!
