    Hi, I am a fã of notreble. Great your site. By the way there a wrong on this post. The correct translate of Useless Landscape is Paisagem inútil. The adjective is the last. Hugs from Brazil. Happy Birthday Esperanza, here your name sound like hope in portuguese. :)

      The author has it right. The original bossa nova tune by Antonio Carlos Jobim is titled “Inútil Paisagem.” That’s grammatically incorrect in Portuguese, but it’s the correct name of the song.
