‎"A amizade não precisa de palavras - é a solidão sem a angústia da solidão."

Dag Hammarkskjod

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why.

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh NO!!

MacArthur's Park - Richard Harris

‎"A amizade não se busca, não se sonha, não se deseja; ela exerce-se."

Simone Weil

Feliz aniversário!
Que sejas o maestro do meu coração até ele parar de bater!

Ne me quitte pas, il faut oublier
Tout peut s’oublier qui s’enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps des malentendus
Et le temps perdu à savoir comment
Oublier ces heures qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas

Moi, je t’offrirai des perles de pluie
Venues de pays où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre, jusqu’ après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps d’or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine où l’amour sera roi
Où l’amour sera loi, où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas, je t’inventerai
Des mots insensés que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai de ces amants là
Qui ont vu deux fois leurs coeurs s’embraser
Je te raconterai l’histoire de ce roi
Mort de n’avoir pas pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent rejaillir le feu
De l’ancien volcan qu’on croyait trop vieux
Il est parait-il des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé qu’un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir pour qu’un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir ne s’épousent-ils pas?
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler, je me cacherai là
A te regarder danser et sourire
Et à t’écouter chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir l’ombre de ton ombre
L’ombre de ta main, l’ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas - Jacques Brel

'Amo-te até ao céu de todas as ruas...'

Night and day
You are the one
Only you
Beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
No matter
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows
Where ever I go?

In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you, night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through
Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through
Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day - Everything but a girl

I Won't Talk To You For A Couple Of Minutes,

Tell Me What It's Like
Looking Out Of Eyes,

Will Belong To You Till The End Of The Passage,

Ode to a Koala Bear - Paul McCartney

Death is here and death is there,
Death is busy everywhere,
All around, within, beneath,
Above is death - and we are death.

Death has set his mark and seal
On all we are and all we feel
On all we know and all we fear,
...

First our pleasures die - and then
Our hopes, and then our fears - and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust - and we die too.

All things that we love and cherish,
Like ourselves must fade and perish;
Such is our rude mortal lot -
Love itself would, did they not.

Death - Percy Bysshe Shelley

O tempo é muito lento para os que esperam,
Muito rápido para os que têm medo,
Muito longo para os que lamentam,
Muito curto para os que festejam.
Mas, para os que amam, o tempo é eternidade...

William Shakespeare

"I love Thornfield: I love it, because I have lived in it a full and delightful life,- momentarily at least. I have not been trampled on. I have not been petrified. I have not been buried with inferior minds, and excluded from every glimpse of communion with what is bright and energetic and high. I have talked, face to face, with what I reverence, with what I delight in,- with an original, a vigorous, an expanded mind. I have known you, Mr. Rochester; and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you for ever. I see the necessity of departure; and it is like looking on the necessity of death. (...) Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? - A machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; It is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal, - As we are."

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte

Signori Enrichetta obrigada pela conversa!

Em dez minutos disse tudo o que precisava ouvir...

Algo quebrou dentro de mim!

"I've crossed oceans of time to find you"

Bram Stocker's Dracula

Picture me upon your knee,
Just tea for two and two for tea,
Just you for me and me for you, alone!
Nobody near us,
to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations
on weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone.

Day will break and you'll awake
and I will bake
sugar cake for you to take
for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family,
a girl for you, a boy for me,
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be

Tea for two - Lisa Ekdahl

There was a boy,
a very small enchated boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far,
over land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye,
but very wise was he.

And then one day.
One magic day he came my way.
And as we spoke of many things,
fools and kings,
this he said to me.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

Nature boy - Lisa Ekdahl

Don't give up...

A minha alma foi rasgada pela dor que te causei...
Quanto mais te quero dar o mundo mais te tiro

A espera é doce, suave, leve...
Quando se tem por quem esperar!

Porque um dia a palavra que está presa na minha alma vai libertar-se no teu olhar...

The stars you see in the night sky
Have been dead for centuries
Starlight creates the illusion
Of life for all these years

Now I no longer trust these eyes of mine
The heart must speak to me
In tongues of forgotten voices
In ancient harmonies
So that I can see

Heavens are merely illusions
When you build them high in the sky
And hell is the final solution
For those who have no faith in this life
They are blinded by lies

Here in the garden, fountain of life
Here in the garden, arcane delights
Are born from the womb

Down here the seed will rise
From dark earth to the light
To kiss the sun again

She brings me flowers
To ease the pain
She brings me light
Where only darkness reigns

And the more that I see
The more life means to me
And the way you love the wild earthen dream
She sings her song for you and me

I don't care what lies beyond this world
All I really care about is you
For Mother Nature’s gifts of life have made
Have made this world a paradise for you and I

Crescent - Brendan Perry

I need someone to lean on...

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down

The Ring Of Fire - Johnny Cash

Baby, you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do 'cause I love you

Oh baby, I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing that I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So please don't let me be misunderstood

Don't let me be misunderstood - Nina Simone

A cada dia que passa, tornas-me uma pessoa melhor...

I feel greater then the sum of all my parts
A domestic beast with a hairy Heart's
Trapped within a walled suburbia

I found my taste is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I’m building my Utopia

I need to break free from all that binds
That makes me old before my time
In this world of Dystopia

My love is like a bright guiding light
Shining in the darkness of the night
The star of my Utopia

In the motion of the sea
in the air that we breath
Can you feel me?

In the stars and in the trees
In the song of the bees
Can you hear me?

Caged, golden memories
Time has come to show your true feelings
I know it’s the only way to be
When the same old feelings come over me

I feel greater of all the sum of all my parts
A space jockey from a distant star marooned upon Dystopia

I found my taste is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I’m building my Utopia

In the motion of the sea
In the air that we breath
Can you feel me?

In the stars and in the trees
In the song of the bees
Can you hear me?

Utopia - Brendan Perry

Obrigada por tornares o bom melhor e o mau menor!

Dizer que iluminaste a minha alma quando entraste na minha vida...
Dizer que tornas todos os momentos que protagonizas profundamente especiais...
Parece inacreditavelmente pouco relativamente ao que vivo cá dentro!

Tudo o que as árvores fazem é pensar. Ficam generosas à espera de chegar a uma conclusão. E se morrem não é absoluto que tenham tido resposta. Deram sombra, pássaros, fruto e vento, mas podem partir quietas, como quem tomba para dentro de si mesmo, com felicidade pelo que já passou e nenhuma mágoa, só a aceitação sábia do tempo.

Poema das árvores e da aprendizagem - Valter Hugo Mãe, in Folclore Íntimo

You thought that it could never happen
To all the people that you became,
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
But here, right here,
Between the birthmark and the stain,
Between the ocean and your open vein,
Between the snowman and the rain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

The women in your scrapbook
Whom you still praise and blame,
You say they chained you to your fingernails
And you climb the halls of fame.
Oh but here, right here,
Between the peanuts and the cage,
Between the darkness and the stage,
Between the hour and the age,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

Shouldering your loneliness
Like a gun that you will not learn to aim,
You stumble into this movie house,
Then you climb, you climb into the frame.
Yes, and here, right here
Between the moonlight and the lane,
Between the tunnel and the train,
Between the victim and his stain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

I leave the lady meditating
On the very love which I, I do not wish to claim,
I journey down the hundred steps,
But the street is still the very same.
And here, right here,
Between the dancer and his cane,
Between the sailboat and the drain,
Between the newsreel and your tiny pain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne?
Where are the paths your heroes came?
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away,
Was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
Oh here, come over here,
Between the windmill and the grain,
Between the sundial and the chain,
Between the traitor and her pain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

Love calls you by your name - Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man (Live In London 2009)

You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
You’d have to be a man to know
How good that feels, how sweet

My mirror twin, my next of kin
I’d know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep

I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see I’m just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet

Who loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep

I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high
Behind the veils of sheer deceit

Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
I’m old but I’m still into that
A thousand kisses deep

I’m good at love, I’m good at hate
It’s in between I freeze
Been working out but it’s too late
(It’s been too late for years)

But you look good, you really do
They love you on the street
If you were here I’d kneel for you
A thousand kisses deep

The autumn moved across your skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesn’t need to live
And doesn’t need to die

A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
And witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deep

But I’m still working with the wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
But the heart will not retreat

I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray
I never had their sweet
But once or twice they let me play
A thousand kisses deep

I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see I’m just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet

Who loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep

But you don’t need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A thousand kisses deep

A thousand kisses deep - Leonard Cohen

Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse
Porque eu não posso mais sofrer

Chega de saudade
A realidade é que sem ela
Não há paz não há beleza
É só tristeza e a melancolia
Que não sai de mim
Não sai de mim
Não sai

Mas, se ela voltar
Se ela voltar que coisa linda!
Que coisa louca!
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos
Que eu darei na sua boca

Dentro dos meus braços, os abraços
Hão-de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim,
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim

Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
Vamos deixar esse negócio
De você viver assim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você longe de mim
Vamos deixar esse negócio
De você viver sem mim

Chega de saudade - Vinicius de Moraes

"A amizade é o amor sem asas"

Lord George Byron

"A amizade é uma alma com dois corpos."

Aristóteles

I promise you will get old
I promised you everything
To protect you wherever you go
I'll give you this diamond ring

Just promise you will remember
A promise should last forever
Right up to the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slow

It's a different day everyday
Don't want you to walk alone
But how can we carry on
When all of these things have gone

Just promise you will remember
That promises last forever
Still after the last dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slowly

It's a beautiful thing to do
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Remember I do love you
Have courage in what you say

And promise you will remember
That promises last forever
Still after the dying embers
The fire that burns so slowly

And sometimes you just have to walk away
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Wishing today was yesterday
Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away

Promises - Badly Drawn Boy

"A poesia não tem presente: ou é esperança ou saudade"

Camilo Castelo Branco

Um beijo em lábios é que se demora
e tremem no abrir-se a dentes línguas
tão penetrantes quanto línguas podem.
Mais beijo é mais. É boca aberta hiante
para de encher-se ao que se mova nela.
É dentes se apertando delicados.
É língua que na boca se agitando
irá de um corpo inteiro descobrir o gosto
e sobretudo o que se oculta em sombras
e nos recantos em cabelos vive.
É beijo tudo o que de lábios seja
quanto de lábios se deseja.

O Beijo - Jorge de Sena

"A poesia é o transbordamento espontâneo de sentimentos intensos: tem a sua origem na emoção recordada num estado de tranquilidade."

William Wordsworth

"A poesia é um fogo cuja chama faz arder o espírito de quem ama."

Pierre Ronsard

Às vezes, pequenos grandes terremotos
ocorrem do lado esquerdo do meu peito.
Fora, não se dão conta os desatentos.
Entre a aorta e a omoplata rolam
alquebrados sentimentos.
Entre as vértebras e as costelas
há vários esmagamentos.
Os mais íntimos
já me viram remexendo escombros.
Em mim há algo imóvel e soterrado
em permanente assombro.

Assombros - Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna

"A pintura é uma poesia que se vê e não se sente, e a poesia é uma pintura que se sente e não se vê"

Leonardo Da Vinci

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

Fill my life with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
In other words, in other words
In other words
I love ... you

Fly me to the moon - Diana Krall

Well come along walk with me
And learn the songs that lovers sing
When they believe
We'll dance along the river's edge
Just arm and arm along the moonlit shore
The midnight cries
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
Just like a child you'll cling to me
From every sound along that rushes near
It's just the breeze that licks your skin
and rubs your breast
And as we lay our river's flow away
Your woman fear
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
With the morning sun we'll wake
And lift our eyes and watch the eagle fly
Up mountain high
And on his wings our love will climb
And never fail until he soars and dives
Oh, he'll take your breath away
Well, he just came to chase the blues away
For awhile

Chase the blues away - Tim Buckley

Sim, sinceramente, amor
Eu não sei o que se passa em mim
É assim como uma dor
Mas que dói sem ser ruim
Sim, é ter no coração
Sempre uma canção
É tão embriagador
Deve ser, sim
Deve ser amor

Samba, samba diferente
Isto é estar contente
Gosto de chorar, de chorar, de chorar
Samba, ritmo envolvente
Como o amor da gente
Samba em chá-chá-chá
Chá-chá-chá
Chá-chá-chá

Deve ser amor - Vinicius de Moraes

Sail on silver wings
Through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age.

I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
For now that wheels are turning,
I find my faith deserting me...

This night is filled with cries of
Dispossessed children in search of Paradise.
A sign of unresolve that,
Envisioned, drives the pinwheel on-and-on.

I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
When memory bears witness to
The innocence, consumed in dying rage!
The way lies through our love;
There can be no other means to the end,
Or keys to my heart...

You will never find,
You will never find!

In power we entrust the love advocated - Dead can dance

Eu tenho um certo gozo em ver-te contente
Já sei que o meu sentimento é banal
Mas nem por isso o que eu te digo
A meu ver é menos importante

Ás vezes apetece-me oferecer-te um presente
Mas nem sempre calha
E quando calha é quase sempre
Aparentemente insignificante

Por exemplo gostava de te dar uma paisagem
Com camelos e mar ao fundo
Maravilhosa e serena
Tranquilamente estimulante

Mas como pintor sou um desastre
E como economista ainda mais decepcionante
Mesmo assim eu insisto em fazer parte
Do teu mundo

O boletim meteorológico anunciou calor
Não vou duvidar
Faz sentido no meu sistema solar

Imagina que sou um ilusionista
Que arranca coisas do chão, do chapéu, do coração
Talvez assim vejas em mim um homem novo
Todo elegante

O que na verdade sou e a verdade
Pode ser elevada á coisa sonhada
Reinventada por muito se querer
E eu quero ser o teu amante

Desta vez vou construir uma cama de espuma
Adequada á função de voar
Com limpa pára-nuvens
Mesmo á altura do teu olhar

Se for preciso um pára-quedas arranjam-se
Uns milagres em bom estado prontos a usar
Se achares que não valeu a pena, aí lamento
Mas não posso mesmo concordar

O boletim meteorológico anunciou calor
Não vou duvidar
Faz sentido no meu sistema solar

Boletim Meteorológico - Jorge Palma

E a magia começou com esta música...

We laughed so much, then we cried all night
And you left your shoes in the tree, with me
I'll wear them to your house, tonight
Magic in the air, tonight

Yes, I might just try her
How she made me feel
Today, today, today, feels right

We slept on leaves on my drive, all night
And you gave me no restime
Nothing in this life for me, tonight
But nothing ever seemed so bright

And if you should lose me
You will track me down again
Before the summer ends

Magic in the air - Badly Drawn Boy

Para ti!

É melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe
É assim como a luz no coração

Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza
É preciso um bocado de tristeza
É preciso um bocado de tristeza
Senão, não se faz um samba não

Senão é como amar uma mulher só linda
E daí? Uma mulher tem que ter
Qualquer coisa além de beleza
Qualquer coisa de triste
Qualquer coisa que chora
Qualquer coisa que sente saudade
Um molejo de amor machucado
Uma beleza que vem da tristeza
De se saber mulher
Feita apenas para amar
Para sofrer pelo seu amor
E pra ser só perdão

Fazer samba não é contar piada
E quem faz samba assim não é de nada
O bom samba é uma forma de oração

Porque o samba é a tristeza que balança
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperança
A tristeza tem sempre uma esperança
De um dia não ser mais triste não

Feito essa gente que anda por aí
Brincando com a vida
Cuidado, companheiro!
A vida é pra valer
E não se engane não, tem uma só
Duas mesmo que é bom
Ninguém vai me dizer que tem
Sem provar muito bem provado
Com certidão passada em cartório do céu
E assinado embaixo: Deus
E com firma reconhecida!
A vida não é brincadeira, amigo
A vida é arte do encontro
Embora haja tanto desencontro pela vida
Há sempre uma mulher à sua espera
Com os olhos cheios de carinho
E as mãos cheias de perdão
Ponha um pouco de amor na sua vida
Como no seu samba

Ponha um pouco de amor numa cadência
E vai ver que ninguém no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba, não

Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia
E se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Ele é negro demais no coração

Eu, por exemplo, o capitão do mato
Vinicius de Moraes
Poeta e diplomata
O branco mais preto do Brasil
Na linha direta de Xangô, saravá!

Saravá! A bênção, que eu vou partir
Eu vou ter que dizer adeus

Ponha um pouco de amor numa cadência
E vai ver que ninguém no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba, não

Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia
E se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Ele é negro demais no coração

Samba da bênção - Vinicius de Moraes

Mais uma biblioteca ardeu hoje...
Minha alma está de luto!
