Who by fire

"And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?"

Leonard Cohen in New Skin For The Old Ceremony

Amanha e sempre longe demais

"P'la janela, mal fechada
Entra ja a luz do dia
Morre a sombra, desejada
Numa esperanca fugidia

Foi uma, noite sem sono
entre saliva e suor
com um travo, de abandono
e gosto a outro sabor

Dizes-me ate amanha
que tem de ser, que te vais
porque o amanha, sabes bem
e sempre longe demais

acendo mais um cigarro
invento mil ideais
so que amanha sei-o bem
e sempre longe demais"

P' la janela mal fechada
Chega a hora do cansaco
Vai-se o tempo desfiando
em aneis de fumo baco"

DAD

"I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn't always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset
I didn't recognize you yet

And did you cry, I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did

Younever told me that you loved me
I know you didn't know how
I guess that shows we're much the same
'cause I love you too and untill now
I've never said those words out loud
I hope you're proud
To be my dad

What areyour secrets, do you pray
Is there a Gos that shows your way
I wish I knew...
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know...

I guess you'll always be a mystery to me
But you taught me how to value life
and what else do I need
i have a dad who watches over me"

Candy Says

"Candy says I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly talk about

Candy says I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me"

Memorabilia

"Everywhere I go, I take a little piece of you
I collect, I reject, photographs I took of you
The towns that I passed through, I've got to have a memory
Or I have never been there.
I have never had you, had you, had you.....
I can’t remember, give me a reminder
I collect, I reject memorabilia....memorabilia

Key chains and snow storms
Give me a reminder, give me a reminder
I collect, I reject memorabilia
Key chains and snow storms
Give me a reminder..."

Marc Almond in "Memorabilia"

Blood Roses

"I think you're a queer
Said I think you're a queer
and I shaved every place where you been
I shaved every place where you been
God knows I've thrown away those graces
the Belle of New Orleans tried to show me
once how to tango
wrapped around your feet wrapped around like good little roses
Blood Roses"

"I'm not scared of waking up
I'm not afraid of getting cut

but you can't take that stuff to canada
you can't take it anywheretarget="_self"

Show

"Let the show begin
It's a sorry sight
Let it all deceive
Now I'm
Pains in me that I've never found

Let the show begin
Let the clouds roll
There's a life to be found in this world
And now I see it's all but a game
That we hope to achieve
What we can
What we will
What we did suddenly

But it's all just a show
A time for us and the words we'll never know
And daylight comes and fades with the tide
And I'm here to stay

But it's all just a show
A time for us and the words we'll never know
And daylight comes and fades with the tide
I'm here to stay"



Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man in "Out of Season"

Finalmente:
Twilight

"Twilight
I fall in the harbor
Twilight
I fall in the hills
But here in the city that never sleeps
I can fall through one's fingers

When the swan flies to heaven
Soaring throught the utmost fear
There's a feeling that lingers in the afterwards
Will you ever return?

Twilight
I sit at all tables
With my candels and angels besides
And I shall wait forever
as the day turns to night
Swallowed in the shadows that glow

I sought out a light
and I knew darkness swallowed
I beseech, come to me
All alone, ome to me"

Estrela da Tarde

Era a tarde mais longa de todas as tardes que me acontecia
Eu esperava por ti, tu nao vinhas, tardavas e eu entardecia
Era tarde, tao tarde, que a boca, tardando-lhe o beijo, mordia
Quando a boca da noite surgiste na tarde tal rosa tardia

Quando nos nos olhamos tardamos no beijo que a boca pedia
E na tarde ficamos unidos ardendo na luz que morria
Em nos dois nessa tarde em que tanto tardaste o sol amanhecia
Era tarde de mais para haver outra noite, para haver outro dia

(...)

Foi a noite mais bela de todas as noites que me adormeceram
Dos nocturnos silencios que a noite de aromas e beijos se encheram
Foi a noite em que os nossos dois corpos cansados nao adormeceram
E da estrada mais linda da noite uma festa de fogo fizeram

Foram noites e noites que numa so noite nos aconteceram
Era o dia da noite de todas as noites que nos precederam
Era a noite mais clara daqueles que a noite amando se deram
E entre os bracos da noite de tanto se amarem, vivendo morreram

Eu nao sei, meu amor, se o que digo e ternura, se e riso, se e pranto
e por ti que adormeço e acordo e acordado recordo no canto
Essa tarde em que tarde surgiste dum triste e profundo recanto
Essa noite em que cedo nasceste despida de magoa e de espanto

Meu amor, nunca E tarde nem cedo para quem se quer tanto!

Jose Carlos Ary dos Santos

Assim como um postal para o Canada

"Foi a sede, foi a neve
e a falta de alguem
que me trouxe ao consolo
de quem o tem
Ja vou, meu amor, ja venho
se o despertador tocar
estarei contigo ao jantar

Rapariga, mulher facil
de compreender
Teu palacio
onde a chuva nao tem dizer
Ja estou com o cabelo enxuto
e a roupa a secar no forno
e os labios num caldo morno

O correio hoje a tarde
trouxe um embrulho
agitei-o para ver
se fazia barulho
era um par de luvas
e um metro de um bom riscado
estou pronto para o noivado

Passa um carro a guinchar
dentro da cidade
segue a multa por
excesso de velocidade
e eu aqui a janela
esmagando as moscas de Verao
com o corpo a dizer que nao

Telefonaste a dizer
que estas atrasada
foi a sede que me fez
voltar para a estrada
mas tudo o que quis dizer
fica aqui no gravador
o medo, a alegria e a dor"

Sergio Godinho em "A queima roupa" (1974)

Atmosphere

"Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away."

"Fecha a porta apaga a luz
vem deitar-te ao meu lado
Da-me um beijo que e meu desejo
vem ficar acordado

Vem amor que noite e uma crianca
e depois quem ama por gosto nao cansa
Amanha de manha
Vamos acordar e ficar a ouvir
o radio no ar a chuva a cair

Eu vou chamar-te e dizer-te entao
do corpo que e meu na cama no chao
os nossos lencois a colcha de la
eu vou-te abracar amanha de manha"

(Photo by LU)

teras sempre nas minhas maos um colo,
cheias de mim como agua,
para que nelas possas ver o teu reflexo

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit deja
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

(...)

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Ou il ne pleut pas
Je creus'rai la terre
Jusqu' apres ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumiere;
Je f'rai un domaine
Ou l'amour s 'ra roi
Ou l'amour s' ra loi
Ou tu serais reine

Better Things

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
And though you've found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free

That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love

Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way

You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me

You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah

Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

Alexander Pope

Damn, Sam (I love a woman that rains)

"As a man, I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in new york
And maybe as strange
When the colors go out of my eyes
It's usually the change.
But damn, sam, I love a woman that rains
Clear as a bell, and sound as an old engineer
Clear as a bell, and sound as an old engineer
With talented breezes that blow off your hat with a sneer.

As a man, I ain't never been much for talkin to.
I'm as open as a door in her house
That leads to her room
And when the color goes out of my eyes
She's usually too
But damn, Sam, I love a woman that's blue.

As a man, I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in new york
And maybe as strange
But when the colors go out of my eyes
It's usually the change.
But damn, Sam, I love a woman that rains."

Charles C. Leary

"I lost the gloves that my mother gave to me
While on my ways through the make believe sea
And i lost the rings that my lover gave to me
While on my ways to the red salt sea

And i lost my ways and my happy pen
And ended up where i still can't say but
I lost my baby red pen on the way
And i lost my friend but that couldn't be
I lost the friend who sang with me
I lost my son but that couldn't be
I lost the son who sat on my knees
And i lost my man but that couldn't be
I lost the one who i let inside me
And i lost my friend that my love and i shared
While on my ways to the make believe care

And i lost the tunes that stuck to my ears
While on my ways to the make believe hears
And i saw saltina she sank to the sea
The only person left on the island was me

And i love the man who took care of me
He owns the ship, the Charles c. Leary
Yes i love the man who took care of me
He sails the world on the Charles C. Leary"

Here comes the sun

"Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter little darling, it feels like years since it's been here here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces little darling, it seems like years since it's been here here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right
It's all right"

by George Harrison

We Will Become Silhouettes

"I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
Until this is all over
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone i used to know
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go!"

Postal Service in Give up (2003)

"In the waking hours of some not too distant horn
you come walking barefoot to this cowl pulled mind
selling yesterday's dreams wrapped in tomorrow's paper
whistling for a dog named kindness that you'll never find"

Lee Hazelwood in Cold hard times

do estranho nasce o belo

"The damage is done
caught by the net of the language
between all the whispers you sigh
wondering how your scream will be
The damage is done
how full a love can be?
how fool a lover can be?
I can see through your lines
through your still cold face
How full am I?
How fool I am!"

Condemnation



"Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes"

Mas como poderia alguma vez matar-te se trazes nos olhos o reflexo das ruas onde nao andei... com as sombras as costas das criaturas com quem nao me cruzei?
Como te poderia matar se no teu sorriso tens a tristeza que vejo no espelho, depois de ter partido todos os cacos e esmigalha-los debaixo dos pes descalcos?
Como te posso querer matar se a tua voz ecoa em cada arco de cada casa... em cada ombreira de cada porta... como se me chamasse sempre que ponho a mao na macaneta e saio a correr para nao a ouvir?
Como te poderia matar? Como? se das tuas maos nascem ondas, que rebentam por cima do meu cabelo sempre que entro no deserto e tu ficas para tras?
como? diz-me como?
que eu fecho os olhos penso em ti, mato-te e depois despedaco-te e atiro as tuas migalhas para o vaso que tenho a janela. Quando olhar para a rua vou ficar a espera de te ver nascer outra vez...
dizes:
como uma flor...
