The end.





In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
By a tree
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me

Eyes wide shut

Ears narrowly open

all its wit and tenderness and beauty, all the very good reasons to carry on.

However far away


Saudade is the love that remains after someone is gone.

Homme qui chavire

Moi

The cruel one

Is I.



I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted


Tuesday, July 28, 2020

Ich habe dich enttäuscht

Mein verlorener Schatz

Ich habe versagt II

Que dias há que na alma me tem posto
Um não sei quê, que nasce não sei onde,
Vem não sei como, e dói não sei porquê.


Monday, July 27, 2020

Ich habe versagt

Egal was noch kommt
Egal was du sagst
Auch wenn du jetzt schweigst
Ich habe versagt

Empty

with emptiness.

Imperfect tunes




Thursday, July 23, 2020

And I will question every wind if they gone through the glow of your eyes

Un giorno, ad ogni alba, questo immenso silenzio non sarà solo una realtà: si nasconderà all'orizzonte dei miei sogni.


Wednesday, July 22, 2020

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time




Tuesday, July 21, 2020

Lenga lenga

Não falo, calo.
Não digo, suspiro.
Não estou, sofro.
Não quero, aguento.
Não sou, fico.

We will never be the same


The more you change, the less you feel



O que nos dizem os sonhos? O que revelam os sonhos? Porque são tão reais, como se bastasse estender a mão para te tocar de novo?


Monday, July 20, 2020

And we kissed as the sky fell in

You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark

Here comes the sun again



They say that time, will make all this go away 
But its time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays 
And once again that rising sun is a droppin on down 
And once again you my friend are no where to be found

Still




Friday, July 17, 2020

Marinheiros perdidos em portos distantes




De que serve ter o mapa se o fim está traçado
De que serve a terra à vista se o barco está parado
De que serve ter a chave se a porta está aberta
De que servem as palavras se a casa está deserta

I ain't I




Tuesday, July 14, 2020

 I don't know. I felt like a scared little kid, I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.


You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.

Station to station

Esperar ou vir esperar querer ou vir querer-te vou perdendo a noção desta subtileza. Aqui chegado até eu venho ver se me apareço e o fato com que virei preocupa-me, pois chove miudinho
Muita vez
vim esperar-te e não houve chegada
De outras, esperei-me eu e não apareci
embora bem procurado entre os mais que passavam.
Se algum de nós vier hoje é já bastante
como comboio e como subtileza
Que dê o nome e espere. Talvez apareça

Goddamn regret

Silêncio, Imenso

Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

A man lost in time

Near KaDeWe

Dream of you





Thursday, July 02, 2020

This is our last embrace



Eu deixarei que morra em mim o desejo de amar os teus olhos que são doces
Porque nada te poderei dar senão a mágoa de me veres eternamente exausto.
No entanto a tua presença é qualquer coisa como a luz e a vida
E eu sinto que em meu gesto existe o teu gesto e em minha voz a tua voz.
Não te quero ter porque em meu ser tudo estaria terminado
Quero só que surjas em mim como a fé nos desesperados
Para que eu possa levar uma gota de orvalho nesta terra amaldiçoada
Que ficou sobre a minha carne como uma nódoa do passado.
Eu deixarei... tu irás e encostarás a tua face em outra face
Teus dedos enlaçarão outros dedos e tu desabrocharás para a madrugada
Mas tu não saberás que quem te colheu fui eu, porque eu fui o grande íntimo da noite
Porque eu encostei minha face na face da noite e ouvi a tua fala amorosa
Porque meus dedos enlaçaram os dedos da névoa suspensos no espaço
E eu trouxe até mim a misteriosa essência do teu abandono desordenado.
Eu ficarei só como os veleiros nos portos silenciosos
Mas eu te possuirei mais que ninguém porque poderei partir
E todas as lamentações do mar, do vento, do céu, das aves, das estrelas
Serão a tua voz presente, a tua voz ausente, a tua voz serenizada.

Goodbye III




Thursday, June 25, 2020

Hug me




Monday, June 22, 2020

Let me sing you a waltz


Worthless piece of lyrics. Myself a junk. No right to miss you, even if I do.

Memory Lane

träumte so gerne von den Freuden der Welt
Ich hatte manches Schöne mir vorgestellt
Und dann kam ein Tag und den vergesse ich nie
Viel schöner als meine Phantasie

Ooh, ooh, Küsse süßer als Wein

What do dreams tell us?

I know there is a hollow
I need to fill it with a draft
Of all the words that I won't say
And with a quiet whisper
I send a curse upon the day
That never used the sun to see
The light


Sunday, June 21, 2020

To catch the silence where it sings


Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties



Friday, June 19, 2020

Inner dialog - void

Nullified.

"- Do you care?
- What does it matter if I do? I have created emptiness."

Up the memory lane

When I stare into space
I'm looking for you
And I can see you
At times


Thursday, June 18, 2020

Nella nebbia costruisco la mia strada



Dá-se a volta ao medo, dá-se a volta ao mundo
Bebe-se o alento num copo sem fundo.

Inner dialog V

A world of evanescent impressions; a world without matter or spirit, neither objective nor subjective, a world without the ideal architecture of space; a world made of time, of the absolute uniform time of [Newton’s] Principia; a tireless labyrinth, a chaos, a dream.

Inner dialog IV




Sunday, June 14, 2020

Jagged little pill

Like a rock cast in the sea
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

It begins at the end of the road





Friday, June 12, 2020

Surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow



As they took his soul they stole his pride


Thursday, June 11, 2020

Inner dialog III

"- I should be there
- and still, you are not. So, you can never again make a difference. Get a grip."

There's a storm outside

And i am here sitting, being useless. Not knowing, not seeing, not being.

There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking Polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea


Wednesday, June 10, 2020

The filth and the fury.

My soul and my mind.


Monday, June 08, 2020

A desejar o que não tive

Agarrado ao que não tenho





Sunday, June 07, 2020

I allowed myself to be crushed by ignorance

Silence

and a deeper silence

when the crickets

hesitate


Saturday, June 06, 2020

I closed the door, drove back to the cavern


If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.




Friday, June 05, 2020

I been worr'in' about you, baby

Gal, you're on my mind
I was sittin' down thinking of you
I just can't keep from crying


Tuesday, June 02, 2020

Blind

Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love, it is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final furame
Love is a losing game

Nowhere to be seen

Just another day.

Todos os dias, amarguras, ilusões.




Troca a amargura pela alegria
E todos compram, regateiam
Amarguras, ilusões
Trapos e cacos e contradições


Monday, June 01, 2020

Emptiness

Now I'm ready to close my eyes
And now I'm ready to close my mind
And now I'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
