De ti para mim

Pára! Sabes onde estás? Que chão pisas? Porque o pisas? Como chegaste até aqui?
Olha à tua volta! Reconheces o que vês? Era isto que vias lá de trás? É isto que vês lá para a frente?
Fecha os olhos e repete todas as respostas! Consegues mesmo ouvir-te? Consegues compreender as respostas que deste? Consegues convencer-te do que estás a dizer?
Abre os olhos de novo! Qual é então o caminho? Que direcção escolhes afinal?
Espera! Podemos seguir juntos?

Volcano

don't hold yourself like that you'll hurt your knees
i kissed your mouth and back that's all i need
don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down
what i am to you is not real
what i am to you you do not need
what i am to you is not what you mean to me
you give me miles and miles of mountains
and i'll ask for the sea
don't throw yourself like that in front of me
i kissed your mouth your back is that all you need?
don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down
what i am to you is not real
what i am to you you do not need
what i am to you is not what you mean to me
you give me miles and miles of mountains
and i'll ask for the sea
what i give to you is just what i'm going through
this is nothing new no no just another phase of finding
what i really need is what makes me bleed
and like a new disease she's still too young to treat
volcanoes melt me down
she's still too young
i kissed your mouth
you do not need me

Ontem estive assim

Acordei a dormir e passei o dia a dormir acordado. Ri quando queria chorar, comi e bebi sem fome nem sede. Baixei os olhos sempre que me apeteceu olhar para cima e sorri às nuvens quando precisei da luz do sol.
Quando precisava de me sentar e ficar sozinho levantei-me da cadeira e procurei gente com quem falar. Quis gritar e limitei-me a sussurrar.
Quis imaginar-te a meu lado e só me lembrei do passado. Quis dizer que te amo e cerrei os dentes. Queria-te perto e despedi-me de ti.
Falei quando queria silêncio e chorei quando o silêncio finalmente chegou.

Sunshine at the sunset

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

A tua foto

Se a minha vida fosse um álbum de fotografias tu serias uma daquelas fotos pequeninas. Haveria fotos de todos os tamanhos, com muita gente, com muitas cores, mas tu serias a mais pequenina. Só a tua cara num pequeno quadrado, com um fundo claro, sorrindo tranquilamente. Aparecerias numa das primeiras páginas e repetir-te-ias quantas vezes quisesses. No canto, como os números, a lembrar-me que as páginas se foram virando e que há ainda outras por virar.
