Away...

“Ó trancas, de Amor prisão me tece,
Ó mãos de neve, que regeis meu fado,
Ó tesouro! Ó mistério! Ó par sagrado,
Onde o menino alígero adormece!
Ó ledos olhos, cuja luz parece
Ténue raio do sol! Ó gesto amado,
De rosas e açucenas semeado
Por quem morra esta alma, se pudesse!
Ó lábios, cujo o riso a paz me tira,
E por cujos dulcíssimos favores
Talvez o próprio Júpiter suspira!
Ó perfeições! Ó dons encantadores!
De quem sois?... Sois de Vénus?
É mentira; Sois de Marília, sois de meus amores.”

By Manuel Maria Bocage

Reflexões...

"Sorri quando a dor te torturar
E a saudade atormentar
Os teus dias tristonhos vazios

Sorri quando tudo terminar
Quando nada mais restar
Do teu sonho encantador

Sorri quando o sol perder a luz
E sentires uma cruz
Nos teus ombros cansados doridos

Sorri vai mentindo a sua dor
E ao notar que tu sorris
Todo mundo irá supor
Que és feliz"

By Charles Chaplin

A queda...

"How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?"
