Uneasy mind

Ele está algures, todas as manhãs,
sempre que abro as cortinas e vejo o céu.
Segue os meus passos, qual grupo de fãs...
Aparece escondido em tudo o que é meu.

Acompanha-me sempre, e não sei bem
se sabe que estou com ele a toda a hora.
Não tenho a certeza se acredita que tem,
aqui, alguém que não se irá embora.

Possivelmente é difícil, diria que sim...
Pois que segurança lhe dou, afinal?
Vejo-o todos os dias, e ainda assim
acordo e deito-me e deixo tudo igual.

Algumas noites em branco talvez o façam ver
que da minha cabeça já não há forma de sair.
E a frustração, quase impossível de conter,
perceberá ele que tenho vontade de partir?

Mas, então, o que pode a vontade provocar
Senão um coração agitado, um impulso irresistível?
Será possível que, entre tanto para dar,
desista por considerar algo inatingível?

"I'ts been a long time... Baby, how've you been?"

"Tira a mão do queixo, não penses mais nisso...
O que lá vai já deu o que tinha a dar...
Enquanto houver estrada para andar,
a gente vai continuar...
Enquanto houver estrada para andar"

People come yet people go,
then one of the greatest things I fear
is that I make it 'till tomorrow
to find out that you're not here.

I've lived most of my life without your laugh,
never needed those eyes and your beautiful soul.
But I know everything that I do from now on
will be worthless if you're not in the world.

"And I may find in time that you were always right - you're always right..."

"Dream until the dream comes true"

Let me stay here, I don't want to wake up,
and after I fail, let me still try my luck.
Let me sense your presence, let me wonder,
let me have you in this angry thunder.

If you let me watch those eyes while you talk,
I'll have to ask you to let me stop the clock.
And if you let me take that hand of yours,
you'll have to let me have endless encores.

If you let me walk with you 'till the end of times,
let me die with you while your soul sublimes.
And if I break because you're too close to me,
hold me tight, don't let my mind go free.

And if you think it's worthless to do all of this,
and won't let me turn my dream to a bliss,
then promise you'll silence all of my cries
by letting me have you when I open my eyes.

"If I lay here,
if I just lay here...
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

Close to you

Wandering around in those sweet summer days,
watching the sun, I would always get amazed.
In the beach, so close to the sea
we'd always talk about how life would be.
The waves crash in as we try to know
if love is really the best way to grow.
I lay beside her, let the moment last,
how can time just go by this fast?
Together forever, never apart,
maybe in distance but never in heart.

We met when we were young, and I bless that day.
She always tells me how to find a way.
I cry, I break, can't seem to move ahead,
then she comes along saying it's not so bad.
The rose in my garden, the light in my night,
when everything's wrong, she's the only right.
So please come here, darling of my youth,
I want to hold you tight and tell you the truth.
For how many people come into my life,
you will always be the one of all times.

Now life's not what we wished before,
I ask you what are we really living for.
You don't give me a word, slowly look at me
and I see a little girl walking by the sea.
Suddenly I realise this is what we do,
we fight and our dreams never do come true.
And when I take some time to get up when I fall,
you give me your hand and never let me crawl,
and I end up praying to the highest star
that someday we'll be loved for the way we are.

"And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries"

I'm the rock on the beach, the one you know.
I'm the shell in the sand, the one you like.
I'm the plants in the water that sail with the flow,
that cactus of yours - I'm the seventh spike.

I'm the stone in the road, the one you crossed.
I'm the bridge over the river you once gazed.
I'm the paint in those letters you once tossed,
I'm the moon in the sky that gets you amazed.

I'm the wood from the tree where you left your mark,
that purple flower on the green floor you stepped on - I'm it.
I'm that lonely bench that lies still in the dark,
the one you sat on once - now it just doesn't fit.

I'm the door and its lock that you just won't open
even if I give you the key that I've always been.
I'm the mouth that kept the words unspoken,
I'm the blood and the heart and all the dead things within.

Don't try so hard

I don't want to think about things.
I don't feel like working a lot.
I've been through seventeen springs
and I wonder if they were worth a shot.

I don't want to focus or try,
I don't want to fight over you.
I don't even know if I want to cry,
and I don't feel like wanting a clue.

I don't know what's got into me,
maybe I flew too high for my soul.
Unlock it, I just can't find the key,
Fulfill it, I don't want cover this hole.

I don't want to stay here, I don't know why,
but going other place doesn't appeal me either.
I feel like you could leave me here to die
and I would not move until my eyes were wider.

I don't feel like I want to be saved,
but I reason and find out that I do.
Your heart and mind have left me enslaved,
and I'm trapped forever with you.

Pain

Tell me why it hurts so much,
like a knife in my skin or someone died.
I feel no joy, no hug, no kiss, no touch,
I'm full of emptiness on the inside.

Where's that wide smile on my face?
It's gone.

"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.
