O diálogo do eu ou o monólogo a dois

Devagarinho, o tempo foi aprisionando as vontades.

Hoje quando paro o olhar no horizonte questiono-me porque nos estamos esgotando.

Sabes que, quando gostamos de uma música, ouvimo-la incessantemente durante muitos minutos em quase todas as horas. Um dia, numa semana qualquer, percebemos que já não procuramos aquele CD para escolher aquela faixa.

Achas que estou a ser cruel, comparando o amor a uma canção?

Olha, estou vendo aquela mulher de olhos brilhantes, dizendo-me que há melodias eternas. Vou-lhe perguntar quantas vezes ela sente saudades de as ouvir. Ela não me soube responder!

Não olhes para baixo, não desvies o olhar da dúvida!

Porque me procuras tanto para esgotares a vontade de queres estar?

Clair de Lune


Debussy

Quando chegaste enfim, para te ver
Abriu-se a noite em mágico luar;
E para o som de teus passos conhecer
Pôs-se o silêncio, em volta, a escutar...

Chegaste, enfim! Milagre de endoidar!
Viu-se nessa hora o que não pode ser:
Em plena noite, a noite iluminar
E as pedras do caminho florescer!

Beijando a areia de oiro dos desertos
Procurara-te em vão! Braços abertos,
Pés nus, olhos a rir, a boca em flor!

E há cem anos que eu era nova e linda!...
E a minha boca morta grita ainda:
Por que chegaste tarde, ó meu Amor?!...

Florbela Espanca

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
Youre waiting for someone to understand you
But youve got demons in your closet
And youre screaming out to stop it
Saying lifes begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Dont let the tears linger on inside now
Cos its sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.

All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening- the fires getting colder
Too beautiful- to think youre getting older
Youre looking for someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an illusion
Youre surrounded by confusion
Saying lifes begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Dont let teh tears...
... just let me know
I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what Im saying?
Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayin
I know what youre thinkin
See what youre seein
Never ever let yourself go

Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why dya hold yourself down?
Why dont you listen, you can
Trust me,
Theres a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that youre alone
Hear me
I know exactly what youre feelin
Cos all your troubles are whithin you
Please begin to see that Im just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
- why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?
Oh, were such damn fools...
