À espera da Primavera

À espera da Primavera

Aconchego-me à lareira

Embrulhada no cobertor

Mergulhada num torpor

De frio e de dor

E de chuva 

Que cai lá fora

E cá dentro também

Já é hora?

Ainda não.

Mas vai ser.

Saudades do chilrear

Dos passarinhos

Rodeando seus ninhos

Da explosão de flores 

E de cores

E de perfumes

E de enxames

E de cardumes

Saudades das árvores

A bailar

E dos regatos

A cantar

E do sol

A brilhar

Saudades da vida 

A fluir em liberdade

Em nós...

Já estou a delirar

Só me resta continuar

À espera da Primavera.

Sísifo

Recomeça...
Se puderes
Sem angústia
E sem pressa.
E os passos que deres,
Nesse caminho duro
Do futuro
Dá-os em liberdade.
Enquanto não alcances
Não descanses.
De nenhum fruto queiras só metade.

E, nunca saciado,
Vai colhendo ilusões sucessivas no pomar.
Sempre a sonhar e vendo
O logro da aventura.
És homem, não te esqueças!
Só é tua a loucura
Onde, com lucidez, te reconheças...

Miguel Torga

Buried Bones

I could take all the craziness out of you
That's what I loved you for
Take away all the oranges, greens and blues
That's what I loved you for

Take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy?
I mean, take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy for you?

I know about guys, I know where they live
And you're just the same
The ones that matter fight against themselves

But it's so hard to change
Hey, I could love you
Take all that love away from you
Hey, I could love you
Put you in this box I've made for two

So you could take all this craziness out of me
That's what you love me for
Well, I don't mean to laugh
But if you know all this
You must be halfway there 

Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you
Turn around and it's winter, darling
Look in the mirror and it won't be you

So you're an old, old dog
You've been around the block

So many times
And it's the same old turns
Same old feelings straight down the line

Yeah, I can love you
Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know

I know where my bones are buried
May take me a while, but I'd find my way home.

Acknowledge Me

Acknowledge me

Acknowledge me

And my dears

Acknowledge me

And my tears 

And my laughs and my fears

Acknowledge what makes me happy

And sad

Acknowledge the ups and downs in life

Acknowledge my daughter and my wife

Or my husband, my next to kin

Acknowledge me and my worst sin

Acknowledge my son, my mother

And all my other mothers

Acknowledge my home

My cat, my dog and my moon

Acknowledge voice, my love, my race

My ancestors, my angels, my face

Acknowledge my roots and my truths 

For they are your roots

And your truths too

Acknowledge yourself

Acknowledge me

For we are the same.
