"I told you so"

Yes, you tried. You did tell me so,
you warned me, you offered protection.
Have I listened to your word? No.
I thought I was following the right direction.

I thought my love had come along
and those lonely nights would soon be over.
I thought it wouldn't take too long
for me to lay down on his soft shoulder.

I thought I was catching all of the signs
I needed to catch in order to succeed.
You told me I was imagining them in my mind,
you gave me your word and I didn't believe.

Now I must go back to my old world
where my heart wasn't ruled by a singular one,
where my head would spin and my mood would twirl
with a simple laugh and a sentence undone.

I was told the truth, which I didn't believe,
I tried to walk on my own and I failed.
I lived so high, now I'm getting used to live
with a heart going down like a piano scale.

Something's missing close to me,
something incompletes my life, still.
Something's not where it should be
and I don't know if ever will.

"Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais"

Be sure you're my every morning sun
and my ever-rising moonshine.
Just know you're the only one
who can put my words to a rhyme.

If I hadn't known

I wouldn't know pain
but my life would be tortuous.
The blood that runs through my veins
wouldn't have any purpose.

I'd never wish under a moonbeam
but I'd still believe angels were fake.
I wouldn't know how to dream
even when I'm wide awake.

It wouldn't feel like swords
were trespassing my bleeding heart.
But I'd be ruled by broken chords,
no melody in a soundless dark.

I would be ignorant in my lonely pathway
where I couldn't sigh for what I'd never known.
But that overwhelming smile to make my day
would never sing along with those eyes of your own.

And so I thank you for being around,
though these depressing feelings still persist.
'Cause I'd still be empty and my soul uncrowned
if I hadn't known that you exist.

Comforting thunder

Watch through this rearview mirror,
the rain’s falling to the soulless ground.
It’s a kind of an invisible armor
that hides my pain without making a sound.

Shouldn’t be thinking about it.
Shouldn’t be wondering about it.
Shouldn’t be whispering about it.
Won’t heaven hear my prayers?

I bend and break right from the start
with your deep thoughts and lovely style.
If you leave my life, please, take my heart
‘cause it can’t beat along without your smile.

Leave me in this soft thunder, so blue…
Where I can go mad
in my own crying cloud.

I just want to reach you
so bad…
I just don’t know how.

Unforgettable

Those memories don't vanish from my mind.
Those beautiful memories, times long gone...
I remember those words - they were kind,
I remember those thoughts - didn't go on.

How this world was such a pretty place!
Coloured from the sky to the ground.
Today, from those rainbows I have no trace,
and this world's nothing but a rough sound.

I used to wake up to the sound of spring everyday
and feel the flowers and the sun the whole year long.
Now I still find no difference between November and May
because each day's compared to a sad, strange song.

I fell asleep one day, right in front of the TV.
The same simple nightmare - just go!
No dreams then - those reassembled much reality...
Lately, only those can push my pain down low.

No smile inside my soul, no freedom within my heart,
i miss the comfort of the tears I didn't cry.
I let those feelings slip way, but the best part
is that they'll never escape from my own, beautiful sky.

I don't want it to end

A calm sunrise to end my sleep
takes my mind away, I feel free.
Knowing the day will run so smooth,
I want to proclame our eternal youth.

Look at the sun, so shiny and soft...
It really feels I've been here before.
Good times, past times, future ones too,
I don't wanna leave this place anymore.

The heat, the light, the warmth, the glow,
the breathless sun brings the shining moon.
As the wind whispers softly and the clouds grow
there's no way this must have an end soon.

Lost paradise, how can I breathe alone
if without you I'm not even home?
You come once in a long time,
not fair, I want you to be mine.

Our golden days ran, my friend... My love,
soon everything will be rising above.
And the season of hope for those days will arrive,
the prayer for the moment of being alive.

Wonder

The moon we see in the sky
is much more than meets the eye.

Don’t you agree? She’s there,
always beautiful, always standing,
never falling, never bending,
she’s there, and she’s strong.

She didn’t tell me, I simply know
just by watching her grow.
And after the dying comes the reborn:
she never gives up, though she’s torn.

Sometimes she smiles – I get so happy!
I smile with her, I sleep tight.
Sometimes she’s serious – oh, well…
Her wonder shows and that’s my light.

I love to watch her as the time goes by,
even if after the clouds there’s a thunder.
My moon still hangs there in the sky
with no smile – just wonder…

Não sou poeta como os que são.
Não sei fingir completamente,
deixando ler o meu coração
os que não sentem o que ele sente.

Não sou poeta como os que são.
Não sei analisar a minha dor,
nem transformá-la em letra de canção,
nem passá-la para o espaço exterior...

Não sou poeta – por agora, não...
pois é tal a tristeza que me consome,
que as palavras saem num turbilhão
de letras soltas e algo disforme.

Só sou poeta quando finjo que sofro.
Ah! – como sei ser lírica e divagar!
Como consigo exprimir-me num sopro,
quase sem ter de parar para pensar!

Pois, não sou poeta – neste momento, não,
porque é tal o sufoco dentro do meu ser,
que, enquanto me deixa na escuridão,
apaga a poesia e não me deixa escrever...

Rebirth

Thank you.
Guardian angel, soul mate,
you’re the star that shines
in my never-ending sad sky.

I am blue.
Your words are my fate,
you write all the right lines
that fil me up and get me by.

I grew.
Your light hasn’t come too late;
through words and thoughts and signs
you repaired my wings: now, I can fly.

Protect me until it's gone

This pain seems everlasting, no end coming - not soon.
Blinding me, taking my last breath – it’s gone, so far away…
Not even happiness smiles at me with the rise of the moon,
I’ve met the hurt and this deep sadness has come to stay.

No good thoughts can save me from this abysm – how insane!
No nice memories can last without the fall of a tear.
It’s such a horrible feeling; I can’t find any words to explain
the drowning of my lonely heart – so weak, so sad, so sincere…

I feel like I could die of this new bad ache in my chest,
I could drown myself into this river of dirty gray water.
How it would be great to create a safe little nest
where I could find a refugee for this pain that slaughters me.

Sweet surrender

Well, I could be strong and keep my pride
and tell you “wrong, you just lost your tide”.
But I think I’ll forgive you, ‘cant stand this no more;
the truth’s that I need you to bring me back to the shore.

When I watch the moon up in the sky
I wonder if you’re wondering why
would we be alone in the dead of night
when we could turn each others’ world bright.

It’s marvellously odd this thing I’m feeling,
the very thought of you, I find it healing.
My mind flies away when you’re near me,
I shake all over, from my head to my feet.

Could you, please, promise me your love, my dear?
We’ll overcome every trace of sadness and fear.
A smile on your face is what takes me to heaven
but I’d be glad to have you twenty for seven.

Welcome

Hey there, stranger.
I heard you could use some companie.
You don’t seem so happy, sir.
Or maybe that’s just me…?

Though I have no goods or money
(the taxman’s just gone away),
I have a hand to hold out, honey,
and you are welcome to stay.

I’m not wealthy, my dear
but I receive you with open arms.
Life gives us unhappiness and fear
and we all need good smiles and charms.

Come on in, be my guest,
we’ll chat ‘till the rising Sun.
I promise you I’ll do my best;
just, please, put down that gun!

Don’t give up on this adventure,
you can’t win if you don’t fight!
Who knows what tomorrow brings for sure?
Maybe now you’ll find a bright light.

We could help each other, what do you say?
We could share our dreams, the deepest of our fears.
Let’s believe together that there’s always a way,
let’s be the soft tissue for each others’ tears.

Trying to reach out for reality,
trying to keep my visions apart.
but instead I’m drowning in insanity
‘cause you stole my breath by stealing my heart.

Now I can’t have it back again,
you’re still getting the best of me.
I cry for help, there’s no one here,
and you won’t let my soul go free.

Dreams surround me, faith’s never gone,
illusion haunts my thoughts everytime.
Though on the inside I know I’m still alone,
you keep me locked, I’m on the dead-line.

The sky goes darker and all the light fades away
whenever I consider accepting the truth.
I don’t live here, never have – no way!
My life is through Neverland with you.

I’ve got to tell you – I really do
how I feel addicted to you
and to your very smile.

It’s just so wide and free
and when you open it for me
your happiness shows.

And then I get – oh! – so happy
for you spread it good
and to my face it goes.

And if I ever don’t get to see it,
I’ll just fall apart and crawl and beg
for you to show it again.

I bet you see little diamonds
when you look in the mirror
for your eyes are like the sunlight.

And then I realise with a laugh
that I get to see it each day
right there, in your buttercup face.

And if I ever don’t get to see it,
I’ll just fall apart and crawl and beg
for you to show it again.

So your face is my Garden of Eden,
my sanctuary of peace,
and I need it to breathe, to live…

So, please, don’t even try to hide it,
show it for the world, and for me
and drive me with it, just drive me.

And if I ever don’t get to see it,
I’ll just fall apart – how I fall apart
and crawl and beg and try to get
you to – oh! please – just show it again…

We’ve just met the Garden of Eden
and the world is bright all the time,
and my soul is happier than ever has been
‘cause I finally can say that you’re mine.

‘Cause this feeling in my heart’s so strong
that I’m sure it’ll never go wrong,
and you can lift me so high everyday,
we touch the sky just by doing it your way.

Love lasts forever, at least’s what they say.
Don’t know if ours will, but we’ll find a way.
Being with you makes me want to fly
‘cause I finally can say I’m alive.

I’m alive,
you’re mine, I’m alive.

Newborn roses in my garden,
fresh light green leaves in my tree.
They’ll grow higher, stronger and harder
‘cause I finally have you here with me.
