Faites que le rêve dévore votre vie,
afin que la vie ne dévore pas votre rêve.

estou cansado

estou cansado, é claro,

porque, a certa altura, a gente tem que estar cansado.

de que estou cansado, não sei:

de nada me serviria sabê-lo,

pois o cansaço fica na mesma.

a ferida dói como dói

e não em função da causa que a produziu.

sim, estou cansado,

e um pouco sorridente

de o cansaço ser só isto —

uma vontade de sono no corpo,

um desejo de não pensar na alma,

e por cima de tudo uma transparência lúcida

do entendimento retrospectivo...

e a luxúria única de não ter já esperanças?

sou inteligente; eis tudo.

tenho visto muito e entendido muito o que tenho visto,

e há um certo prazer até no cansaço que isto nos dá,

que afinal a cabeça sempre serve para qualquer coisa.

Álvaro de Campos (Poemas, 1923)

hunter

with one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home
with one small step up on the stair, I know your look when I get there

if you were a king up there on your throne,
would you be wise enough to let me go?
for this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again -- so let me go

the unread book and painful look, the tv's on, the sound is down
one long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's broughtin

if you were a king up there on your throne,
would you be wise enough to let me go?
for this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave

for the crown you've placed up on my head feels too heavy now
and I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
and all the time I'm thinking, thinking

I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again, so let me go

I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me live, let me go

I’m like a bird

you're beautiful, that's for sure
you'll never ever fade
you're lovely but it's not for sure
that I won't ever change
and though my love is rare
though my love is true

I’m like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I’m like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is
all I need for you to know is

your faith in me brings me to tears
even after all these years
and it pains me so much to tell
that you don't know me that well
and though my love is rare
though my love is true

I’m like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I’m like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my home is
all I need for you to know is

it's not that I wanna say goodbye
it's just that every time you try
to tell me that you love me
each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away

and though my love is rare
and though my love is true
hey I'm just scared
that we may fall through

(Nelly Furtado)

walk this way

look at [you] keep turning the pages of history
look at[me] trying to fill up [my] life with things to do
look at us will we ever find a key in the history
could it be if I move to you, would you move to me?
(move to move - kon kan)


if you could here I'd just like to say
would like to say?
that I love you but I'll follow my way
follow my way
(follow you - sect)
