Quando te vi? Quando te verei? Será que alguma vez te amei? Nem te vejo inexistente, na ausência de sentidos, de vontade, e perco a minha alma para as deambulações eternas da compreensão da tua ida. Presa à dúvida insolucionável de saber se vivo porque espero ou se vivo porque vivi ou se vivo por viver.
* * *
I lose myself everyday a little further to places there's no return. I listen to this music saying «you have everything you need if you just believe» and I let myself be carried away to my other self, that self I left behinde to fell down for the promise of ever letting myself be defeated. Everyday is a struggle journey and a journey for mourn as well. Not every time I let you to come and hunt me with memories from some such distant life I can barely remember how real it had been, brought back from my deepest dreams, from my hopeless hopes. I hear you in the darkness of my nights, by the frailty of my dreams. There I can find you for such brief and misty moments, brought to this world of false passions through the glimpse of the awakening. You used to come countless times in those moments of disbelief and distrust, making me believe for such a short moment in time we were living the life we were rightful owners to live instead of the regret of waiting in vain.
When did I see you? When will I look upon you as before? Have I ever loved you? Neither I can imagine you inexistent, nor in the absence of sensibility, nor desire, and I even lose my soul for those eternal wanderings of the understanding of your departure. Stuck to the endless doubt of knowing whether I live for the waiting, whether I live for the life I lived before, whether I live for living, just for living... .

You, who make my life brilliant and worthy...
But I cant seem to find the right melody today
I can't make the words fit how I feel
I don't know when
Was the last time that I slept the whole night through
And when morning comes around I feel tired
I woke up from the strangest dream
With a dancing dog and a beauty queen
They said nothing, nada, niente
I'm empty

But Your here and I'm here
So I stop complaining it could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
Your here and I'm here
I keep on singing just keep on singing
Singing

Do you know why
I cant seem to find the right melody today?
Can't make the words fit how I feel
Do you know when
Was the last time that I slept the whole night through?
Another morning comes around, I feel tired

I drive down to the rodeo
Gonna ride a bull in a video
But nothing, nada, neiente.
I'm still empty
But your here and I'm here
So I stop complaining it could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
Your here and I'm here
I keep on singing just keep on singing
Singing singing singing

fuck off, you bastards...

you can find no family leader, mother, father or grandmother, without their shopping basket, wandering around in the supermarket, stopping in the most improper places just to check the price of the onions...
And I, a person who hardly goes to the supermarket on the weekend, have to bare them all screaming, pitching, laughing and picking on my nerves for the entire 2 hours of unavoidable groceries demands!
couldn’t they go for some running competition as the netherlanders usually do on the weekends? I would pay to send them all to Holland for 2 months...
escrevo-te por cima
velho companheiro de anos passados, momentos passados, histórias escritas, desenhadas e vividas pelo que por nós passou e sempre regressa de novo e de novo como eternas folhas caídas, estação após estação, desejo após desejo, vontade após vontade.
e onde guardas uma língua que é a minha e que tão poucos conhecem, tão poucos eruditos, instruídos a sabem ler, reconhecer e pronunciar sílaba a sílaba nos seus significados e sentidos tão diversos, dispersos e dissimulados.
por ela liberto-me de novo das amarras de quem te lê, porque só verão este amontoar de palavras disformes a seus olhos. para a maioria assim serás, mas não para mim. não para aqueles para quem posso escrever sem tabús, na minha própria língua que soa tão doce, tão doce...
não podes imaginar a falta que faz, a frustração que é nunca poder dizer um "amo-te" na vida; um "amo-te" que seja entendido, reconhecido e querido por quem o ouve. não sabes como é horrível usar palavras frias como "i love you" ou "s´agapo" que não têm a mínima força de expressão, porque não te custa dizê-las nessas línguas estranhas, porque não te causam dor, sofrimento e agonia antes de as articulares em som.
di-las como se dissesses "até já" ou "até breve" e soam a menos que ocas, soam a indiferentes que as digas ou não digas. talvez assim o não seja para quem as ouve, porque o impacto é maior, a própria tensão é maior porque ficam vinculados pela força da reacção que se espera... mas para quem as pronuncia numa língua que não é a sua, parecem fracas demais, simples demais, incoerentes demais...

...
I would like to look up to you
And tell you’re my light
My guiding brightness in the night…
I wanted to be just like you
With no wings I even could fly
Having the sky for my world, going until the end and come back
I don’t know what happen to me…
Maybe some magic!
What’s wrong with me?
To love someone in such a strange way
As I love you…
I would like you to look up to me…
Feel me as if I was your own sea
Where you fearless can dive, your secret sight,
So I could just hold you near…
The first feeling is always the fairest, the most honest of all…
And the first time you get scared
It makes you spin around and around for the return of a that deep kiss
I…
I don’t know what happen to me…
Maybe some magic!
What’s wrong with me?
To love someone in such a strange way
As I love you…
I…
I don’t know what happen to me…
Maybe some magic!
What’s wrong with me?
To love someone in such a strange way
As I love you…
I…
I don’t know what happen to me…
Maybe some magic!
What’s wrong with me?
To love someone in such a strange way
As I love you…
As I love you…
when everything's made to be broken...
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

je voudrais...
Je veux,
Je veux te dire comme à mes yeux
Le monde entier s’éveille,
Comme si une autre vie éclatait,
Et au-dessus de moi,
À la fin de quoi j’étais,
Ni même mon esprit peut
Dire ces paroles si bien cachées,
Et ni même tes yeux pourront jamais
Découvrir tous les mots perdus,
Perdus dans le temps entre nous,
Et à toi, mon loué ami d’autrefois,
Le plus brillant et magnifique,
Remet à la mémoire mon image
Et elle ne sera plus qu’un mirage
Quand tu rêves de moi.
as for difficult answers to difficult questions...
As for too sudden friendship, too quick friendship… I don’t know the exact answer. There is a mix of what you “think it is” and what you “wonder it can be”.
Though, I don’t feel like pushing or pulling any plug. Just feel like sharing as much as possible, without compromising those good moments that were and those good moments still to come.
As for passion (love + desire = passion) it is in every single thing we put our heart, our energy and our willingness up to. So… yes. There are always feelings of love and desire somewhere, which is a good thing as long as they don’t become into a sense of possession.
onde estiveres...
et je veux dire:
...et nous serons là aussi, comme tes pensées seront à moi, n’importe où."

So alive
All around becomes unmovable, untouchable, almost unbearable... and soon enough I hear that song, that one song who makes me remember you, so clear once again in my mind. And all those moments we've been through resound again to my heart, just one more time.
And a new and bright light keeps shinning at some place I forgot to look up with my soul. Somewhere we used to know by heart, while we kept walking around in December's cold night. Can you remember, from there, from that place where you keep the recollections from what we've been?
My heart and my soul, my ruin and my guide, my angel and my fair despair alone in the dark.
You, who came once again, just to make me fall, so I could learn how to walk. The way as I reborn when I see you heading near... Cannot even describe all you meant, all the promises of eternity forever kept inside this one chest I cannot open. Not then, not even now.
You You You, just you can make me feel this way, as if we became touched by fairness and rightful grace.
You You You, you alone in the past, forever shinning over me, shinning all over my unkown path.
'Cause you are really my destiny and my soul, my one goal to get closer and closer to where you stand.
Will you wait a little longer? Just a few more days, a few more years, a few more people going through my life. Let me try... please, let me try to understand them, to help them, to take them as you took me. Let me learn from your memories, from the wisdom you left behind.
And maybe one day, when my task match yours, when I get from where you left, may we reunite once again and, for one more moment in time, may I look upon you. May you see me as before. May we find each other and never let go again.
thank you for inspiring me one more time.

"Tu me manques, tu me manques..."
Where to turn as my face goes red and the tears stream down to hit my dark, dark, dark shirt.And I see you guys down, so close and so far, somewhere I cannot reach.
Do you even feel anything? Can you at least remember how we were?
What have we done to deserve such faith?
Can you see the irony all around us three?
You, both... you, who can reach each other in no time, with no effort at all, must hold up a fight to remain away 'cause loving is at the same point too much and, even so, not enough...

...and I, who wanted to be near, just to hang around only for one more day... I am stuck to the laws of distance, economy and time, and even the laws of memory trying to keep us apart.
Can any of you even consider the test these walls have become? To love some people and don't be able to feel them, touch them and reach them at least once in a day, or a week, or a month, or a lifetime...
And if we hadn't met, not there, not now... but somewhere before what all we have individually been through, do you even think we would care about each other?
Do you even think we could have ever met the way we do?

que eternizei para mim:
o teu olhar tão intenso,
brilhante como és afinal,
de tanta vida a transbordar,
tão feliz que me pareces irreal...
...e chama-me um dia louco,
que irrisório ou infantil,
seria ainda tão pouco,
por não perder esta imagem:
os contornos do teu rosto,
sob luz fugidia em que o vi,
esbatidos na memória
no que resta dessa miragem...
...e deixa-me só, assim,
perdendo para todos a razão,
porque não ver-te de novo
sabe tão menos que a pouco...
e por tentar,
por tentar, ainda que em vão,
fazer de ti este meu sonho,
tão impossível e medonho,
haverei até de parecer,
dos loucos, o mais louco
se não és, afinal, ilusão.

back for a while
tenho estado estes dias em casa, na casa dos meus pais - corrijo, porque casa, lar, foi algo que deixei para trás no dia em que parti para estudar fora. O meu lar abandonou-me, como me abandonei eu próprio a viver sem ele, sem lhe sentir a falta, mas desejando regressar a um lar meu, por mim construído, comigo nascido, comigo envelhecido. A miragem de uma conquista que não se consegue sozinho, à sombra de uma linha paralela criada à imagem e à mesma velocidade do mundo real.
ainda me vejo preso entre esse equilíbrio desigual do que vou criando e do que espero criar, que em perspectiva é o que presentemente possuo e as marcas que deixo à medida que sigo em frente. como se um dos mundos vivesse indexado ao outro e ainda assim se mantivesse dele apartado.
penso muito mais agora antes de escrever, que quando o fazia meses atrás e por meses sucessivos. tento pesar as palavras e o sentido das frases a ver se soam a verdades ou a romances novelísticos ditados para e pela minha memória, como uma estória que contasse repetidamente a mim próprio, para me forçar a acreditar.
sinto que é verdade que depois de Janeiro nem o melhor é tão bom, ou que até o pior já não custa tanto a suportar. uma perna de cada um dos lados de uma ribanceira íngreme que se vai abrindo sob mim, como se se afastassem os continentes deixando lugar ao mar, ondulante logo abaixo.
vejo o pouco que me é dado a conhecer e imagino como será o resto, como seria nunca sentir a falta de alguém, deixar cair as esperanças de que existiria sempre alguém à espera de mim nalgum sítio de onde não sou. De onde já não sou.
oiço falar daquele lar que me desertou, viajando nas bocas de tantos em meu redor, bons conhecedores dos costumes e do que é suposto ser correcto, sensato ou ousado, veneráveis detentores do saber de tudo o que não lhes diga directamente respeito, perdidos, sem saberem que também têm direito a um lar que deles lhes foi também, extorquido, abandonado ou dizimado.
pequenos encontrões que o tempo me dá, para me chamar à razão, como se desejasse claramente que não nos deixemos falhar por pouco, errar indefinidamente pela juventude, estagnados na insatisfação, cosendo remendos a panos já gastos, à espera que o melhor apareça, trazido pela sorte ou pela mudança natural do estado das coisas.
deixa-te tu aí parar, detido pelo que não podes ter, se assim quiseres, se esse for o rumo que escolheres com medo que te possas magoar, ou magoar ainda mais. gente presa entre comparações insolucionáveis, como a história dos infernos do irreconhemento eterno da tua própria imagem. Conversas infinitas contra o reflexo no espelho, batida a tua inteligência por si mesma.
eu cá seguirei, aos tombos, entre erros e tropeções, em dores e alegrias diminuidas se necessário. só não quero ficar.

Do you have a Bonny Portmore, the one place you can't return anymore?
Oh Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away.
Oh Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying, "Where shall we shelter or where shall we sleep?"
For the oak and the ash they are all cutten down
And the walls of Bonny Portmore are all down to the ground.
Oh Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords of Old England would not purchase Portmore.
