I Remember

i remember it well, the first time that i saw

your head around the door, 'cause mine stopped working

i remember it well, there was wet in your hair

i was stood in stare, and time stopped moving

i want you here tonight, i want you here

'cause i can't believe what i found

i want you here tonight, want you here

nothing is taking me down, down, down

i remember it well, taxied out of a storm

to watch you perform, and my ships were sailing

i remember it well, i was stood in your line

and your mouth, your mouth, your mouth

i want you here tonight, i want you here

'cause i can't believe what i found

i want you here tonight, want you here

nothing is taking me down, down, down

except you, my love

The Cry Of Man

É preciso sofrer depois de ter sofrido,

e amar, e mais amar, depois de ter amado.

Guimarães Rosa

Exit Music (For A Film)

wake from your sleep

the drying of your tears

today we escape, we escape

pack and get dressed

before your father hears us

before all hell breaks loose

breathe, keep breathing

don't lose your nerve

breathe, keep breathing

i can't do this alone

sing us a song

a song to keep us warm

there's such a chill, such a chill

you can laugh, a spineless laugh

we hope your rules and wisdom choke you

now we are one in everlasting peace

we hope that you choke, that you choke

"Exit Music ( For A Film )" Radiohead

Lonely, Dear

I Love You (In With The Arms)

in with the dark nights, in with the weight down clouds

suburbs and stations, longrange trains coming in

how can you manage, how can you bear me now

coming in fast, bringing the lights

keeping me calm, keeping me calm like you do

i'm tearing us down, how can you do? keeping me down

in with the trains, rushing through the lands

in with the aeroplanes, breaking through heavy nights

where does it go? when does it sleep again

off with the devils, off with the devils

keeping me calm, keeping me calm like you do

i love you, i love you, keeping me down

bring in the warmth, bring in the comfort to me

come over dance with me, come on over dance with me

keeping me calm, keeping me calm like you do

i love you, i love you, off with the boards

off with whats keeping me down, in with the arms

in with what's keeping me calm, i cannot go, i cannot do

in with the arms, in with what's keeping me calm

"I Love You (In With The Arms)" Lonely, Dear

Hang On To A Dream

what can i say, she's walking away

from what we've seen

what can i do, still loving you

it's all a dream

how can we hang on to a dream

how can it ever be the way it seems

what can i do, she's saying we're through

with how it was

what will i try, i still don't see why

she says what she does

what can i say, she's walking away

from what we've seen

what can i do, still loving you

it's all a dream

how can we hang on to a dream

how can it ever be the way it seems

how can we hang on to a dream

how can we hang on to a dream

how can it will it be the way it seems

how can we hang on to a dream

"Hang On To A Dream" Tim Hardin

Beethoven / Sonata for Piano No. 8 'Pathetique' in C minor, Op. 13 - Adagio cantabile

Dance Me To The End Of Love

dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

dance me through the panic 'til i'm gathered safely in

lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

dance me to the end of love

oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone

let me feel you moving like they do in babylon

show me slowly what i only know the limits of

dance me to the end of love

dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on

dance me very tenderly and dance me very long

we're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

dance me to the end of love

dance me to the children who are asking to be born

dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn

raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

dance me to the end of love

dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

dance me through the panic till i'm gathered safely in

touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

dance me to the end of love

Leonard Cohen

Amo-te

[ amo como ama o amor

não conheço nenhuma outra razão para amar senão amar

que queres que te diga, além de que te amo

se o que quero dizer-te é que te amo ? ]

Little Did I Know

little did I know

that i almost let you go

until i caught a glimpse of life

without you

little did i know

how deep these roots had grown

until I felt the earth quake here

without you

and this ache is gonna break me love

until you come back home

right or wrong

there is no home without you

and these eyes are never gonna dry

i never knew how i could cry

until I thought i'd really lost you

little did i know that i almost let you go

until i caught a glimpse of life

without you

Can I Keep Him?

in the end

there was no one to see

no helicopters in the sky the next day

or the day after

no one was searching

'cause no one knew he was missing

he followed me home

can i keep him?

he followed me

a pretty boy like you

with hands that could break me in two

but don't

breaking away gently

he's still warm

and close to me

i can see tears in his eyes

and i feel better

"Can I Keep Him ?" Anja Garbarek

As You Do

i need you to love me

as you do

i wish you to love me

as you did

and i can’t ask you

to take me and be true

but i can ask you

to love me as you do

but i can’t pull you out of this

can’t love, love reward us?

i need you to love me / as you do

but i wish you to love me / as you did

and i can’t ask you / to take me and be true

but i can ask you / to love me as you do

a trip out of town / as the moon goes down

and the faster we move / the faster we’re found

and the closer we get

the brighter it sets

the lower it gets

Paula Rego

Sim * / Portugal Mais Livre

«Fiz estes trabalhos para Portugal, revoltada

com o que se passou no referendo sobre o aborto»,

diz a pintora, que tem ainda nas suas memórias

vividas do país as situações dramáticas que

testemunhava na Ericeira quando as mulheres

dos pescadores, rodeadas de filhos, lhe pediam

o dinheiro necessário para os desmanchos.

-

Paula Rego desenha adolescentes e jovens

mulheres que sofrem, que escondem a cara

ou enfrentam o espectador, culpando-o com

o olhar, algumas delas prostradas sobre a cama,

outras agachadas sobre um bacio ou um balde,

outras ainda contorcendo-se com dores,

entregues apenas a si própias e a uma imensa solidão.

São retratos de sofrimento e angústia, de ansiedade,

desolação, medo, humilhação e vergonha,

feitos de uma violência contida, sem sangue nem gritos,

com uma construção figurativa formalmente austera.

Sleep Don't Weep

sleep, don't weep, my sweet love

your face is all wet and your day was rough

so do what you must do to find yourself

wear another shoe, paint my shelf

those times that i was broke, and you stood strong

i think i found a place where i...

sleep, don't weep, my sweet love

your face is all wet, 'cause our days were rough

so do what you must do to fill that hole

wear another shoe to comfort the soul

those times that i was broke, and you stood strong

i think i found a place where I feel i will...

sleep, don't weep, my sweet love

my face is all wet, 'cause my day was rough

so do what you must do to find yourself

wear another shoe, paint my shelf

those times that i was broke, and you stood strong

i hope i find a place where i feel i belong

sleep, don't weep, my sweet love

my face is all wet, 'cause my day was rough
