Resolução

".... have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and... try to love (...) the questions themselves (...) as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.... (...) live(...) the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Rainer Maria Rilke

Estrela Cadente Vs Sol Poente (ou as ilusões de um reflexo)

Por vezes...

E por vezes as noites duram meses
E por vezes os meses oceanos
E por vezes os braços que apertamos
nunca mais são os mesmos E por vezes

encontramos de nós em poucos meses
o que a noite nos fez em muitos anos
E por vezes fingimos que lembramos
E por vezes lembramos que por vezes

ao tomarmos o gosto aos oceanos
só o sarro das noites não dos meses
lá no fundo dos copos encontramos

E por vezes sorrimos ou choramos
E por vezes por vezes ah por vezes
num segundo se envolam tantos anos.

Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in bel air
Could I have been
Lost somewhere in paris
Could I have been
Your little brother
Could I have been anyone other than me
Could I have been oh, anyone other than me
Could I have been anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money
Could I have been anyone other than me
Twenty three
Im so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other then me?
Then i
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, like and taste
Whats the use in worrying, whats the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am i
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then ill
Sing and dance and Ill play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But Ill work it out
And then i
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been dancing nancy
Dancing nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Year after year
I dug in the earth
looking for the blue of heaven
only to feel
the pile of dirt
choking me
until once in the dead of night
I tripped on a broken brick
and kicked it into the air
and saw that without a thought
I had smashed the bones
of the empty sky

Choices

Ten fingers counting we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball will last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea

It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
It’s a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices.

Everybody's happy
Everybody’s free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don’t get in line
We'll lock you away

It all comes down to nothing

Six senses feeling
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two’s a perfect number
But one, well

Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away

It all comes down to nothing

It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
It’s a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
We can’t do a thing about it
Too many choices, yeah
It’s a typical situation in these typical times..

The Leaving Feeling

Stuart S. Staples :
I get that leaving feeling
This time it's here to stay
I've been weighing up the pulling
And pushing me away
The past is so heavy
But it's something I can't leave
And this future is so certain
It just pushes me to my knees

Lhasa :
Is that your heart talking
Or just that befuddled mind
The people that you love
They change when you leave them behind

Stuart S. Staples :
But this rope that is pulling
Is whittled down to a thread
And if I don't start climbing
Pretty soon it'll be over my head

Lhasa :
We all have dreams of leaving
We all want to make a new start
Go and pack a little suitcase
With the pieces of our hearts
All those worries and those sorrows
We can just toss them away
Buy a coffee and a paper
And those step on to a train

Stuart S. Staples :
But I've been too long wandering
Limping around this town
With everything that's pulling me
Is pulling me further down

Lhasa :
Go make all your excuses
Go say all you goodbyes
But take a look in the mirror
It's the hardest one you'll ever find
All those worries and those sorrows
You can just toss them away
Go find a new tomorrow
And forget about your yesterdays
So go and pat your kids
And kiss your dog goodbye
Leave your keys on the nail
With the sadness that's in your eyes

Stuart S. Staples :
Maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain
And I'll leave everything in order
I don't want nothing standing in my way
There are jobs that need tending
And the logs that are waiting to stack
And I'll leave everything in order
I don't want nothing that's going to hold me back

Consider the core of the mind to be a wagon,with willpower being carried about in it. Push it to a place where there can be failure, and there will be failure. Push it to a place where there can be success, and there will be success.

She’s my oblivion – still her around
Out on the balcony – she waits for me
Out on the boundary – she smiles

She’s my oblivion
Which way to turn?
The edges of our love are in the stars
Down the balcony
She waits for me
Out on the boundary
She smiles

Make this alive
Good days are back
Open your eyes when it falls
Come back to the air

I can’t tell you what you already know
I can’t make you feel what you already feel
I can’t show you what’s in front of you
I can’t heal those scars

She’s my oblivion
And my skin burns
Her hands all over me
She whispers:
“The edges of our love are in the stars” (choir)

Good days are alive
Good days are back
Open your eyes when it falls
Come back to the air

So look down to the street below
Don’t look up to the stars above
You look around
See what’s in front of you
Don’t look down, don’t look down

Can you see the light?
It shines onto us tonight
Can you see the light?
It’s all around you

Qual é a diferença entre o sim e o não?
Qual é a diferença entre o bem e o mal?
Devo recear o que os outros receiam?
Devo recear a desolação quando existe abundância?
Devo recear a escuridão quando a luz brilha por toda a parte?
(...)
Vagueio como uma onda no oceano.
Sopro tão sem objectivo como o vento.

Lao-Tzu

No quiero decirte nada.

Agua, ¿dónde vas?
Riyendo voy por el río
a las orillas del mar.

Mar, ¿adónde vas?

Río arriba voy buscando
fuente donde descansar.

Chopo, y tú ¿qué harás?

No quiero decirte nada.
Yo... ¡temblar!

¡Qué deseo, qué no deseo,
por el río y por la mar!

(Cuatro pájaros sin rumbo
en el alto chopo están).

Federico García Lorca

Amanhece

Rio

Toda forma que vês
tem seu arquétipo no mundo sem-lugar.
Se a forma esvanece, não importa,
permanece o original.
As belas figuras que viste,
as sábias palavras que escutaste,
não te entristeças se pereceram.
Enquanto a fonte é abundante,
o rio dá água sem cessar.
Por que te lamentas se nenhum dos
dois se detém?
A alma é a fonte,
e as coisas criadas, os rios.
Enquanto a fonte jorra, correm os rios.
Tira da cabeça todo o pesar
e sorve aos borbotões a água deste rio.
Que a água não seca, ela não tem fim.
Desde que chegaste ao mundo do ser,
uma escada foi posta diante de ti,
para que escapasses.
Primeiro, foste mineral;
depois, te tornaste planta,
e mais tarde, animal.
Como pode ser isto segredo para ti?
Finalmente foste feito homem,
com conhecimento, razão e fé.
Contempla teu corpo; um punhado de pó
vê quão perfeito se tornou!
Quando tiveres cumprido tua jornada,
decerto hás de regressar como anjo;
depois disso, terás terminado de vez com a terra,
e tua estação há de ser o céu.
Passa de novo pela vida angelical,
entra naquele oceano,
e que tua gota se torne o mar,
cem vezes maior que o Mar de Oman.
Abandona este filho que chamas corpo
e diz sempre Um; com toda a alma.
Se teu corpo envelhece, que importa?
Ainda é fresca tua alma.

Jalal ud-Din Rumi

Ni tú ni yo estamos
en disposición
de encontrarnos.
Tú... por lo que ya sabes.
¡Yo la he querido tanto!
Sigue esa veredita.
En las manos
tengo los agujeros
de los clavos.
¿No ves cómo me estoy
desangrando?
No mires nunca atrás,
vete despacio
y reza como yo
a San Cayetano,
que ni tú ni yo estamos
en disposición
de encontrarnos.

Song

The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth's old and weary cry.
And then you came with those red mournful lips,
And with you came the whole of the world's tears,
And all the sorrows of her labouring ships,
And all the burden of her myriad years.
And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves
Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry.

Vestígios

Noutros tempos
quando acreditávamos na existência da lua
foi-nos possível escrever poemas e
envenenávamos-nos boca a boca com o vidro moído
pelas salivas proibidas - noutros tempos
os dias corriam com a água e limpavam
os líquenes das imundas máscaras
hoje
nenhuma palavra pode ser escrita
nenhuma sílaba permanece na aridez das pedras
ou se expande pelo corpo estendido
no quarto do zinabre e do álcool - pernoita-se
onde se pode - num vocabulário reduzido e
obsessivo - até que o relâmpago fulmine a língua
e nada mais se consiga ouvir
apesar de tudo
continuamos e repetir os gestos e a beber
a serenidade da seiva - vamos pela febre
dos cedros acima - até que tocamos o místico
arbusto estelar
e
o mistério da luz fustiga-nos os olhos
numa euforia torrencial.

Koan

The caterpillar said, "One side will make you grow bigger and the other side will make you grow smaller"
"One side of what? The other side of what?" thought Alice to herself.
"Of the mushroom," said the caterpillar.
Alice looked at the mushroom, trying to make out which were the two sides of it, as it was perfectly round.

Koan

Quem pensa que entendeu, questiona-se;
Quem pensa que não entendeu, questiona os outros;
Quem entendeu, não diz nada;
E quem não entendeu, também não diz nada!

Tempo Perdido

A saudade, métrica do coração português, é suicida: mata-se a si própria. É uma ilusão passageira. É a psicose brumosa de que algo falta para vir. Até se ver que não vem.

Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind

See you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So we can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest

Well she ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is

Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel
Oh you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
We'll make the best of what's around

O teu sorriso...

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

...always look on the bright side
of life...

Always look on the light side
of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
- that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright
side of life...

Come on.

Always look on the right side
of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain
with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the
audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance
anyhow.

And always look on the bright side
of death...

a-Just before you draw your terminal breath...

Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see its just a show, people laughin as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And...
Always look on the bright side
of life...

Always look on the right side
of life...

C'mon Brian, cheer up

Always look on the bright side
of life...

Worse things happen at sea you know.

Always look on the bright side
of life...

I mean - what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
- you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing.

Always look on the right side
of life...

Nothing will come from nothing ya know what they say?
Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin!
There ya go, see!

Always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the right side of life...

We're walking down the driveway.
Are we moving towards....

It's almost light.
That's right.

There are very many things
I would like to say to you
But I've lost my way
And I've lost my words

There are very many places
I would like to go
But I can't find the key
To open my door

The weight of my words
You can't feel it anymore
The weight of my words
You can't feel it anymore

There are very many ways
I would like to break the spell
You've cast upon me

Because all the time
I sacrificed myself
To make you want me
Has made you haunt me

The weight of my words
You can't feel it anymore

The weight of my words
You can't feel it anymore

The weight of my words
You can't feel it anymore

There are very many things
I would like to say to you
But I've lost my way
And I've lost my words

There are very many places
I would like to go
But I can't find the key
To open my door
