“Photograph”

nickelback_all_the_right_reasonsLook at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we’d ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if It’s too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life’s better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn’t let me in

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin’ out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim’s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since god knows when

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it

So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me

"Obrigado Ilusão, e Adeus…"

Obrigado ilusão,
Por me realçares a visão,
Por me explicares que não,
Por quebrares a união.
Porque por entre a alegria e a desilusão
Nem tudo são farpas
Nem tudo são derrotas
Porque por entre caminhos e voltas
Nem tudo são feridas
Nem tudo são corridas
São apenas pedaços das nossas vidas,
Totalmente á deriva, perdidas…

Obrigado ilusão
Por me relembrares
Que nem sempre estamos sós,
Precisamos é de confiar em nós.
E que ás vezes é difícil entender
Abrir os olhos e ver,
Que o mundo não acaba aqui.
Apenas posso falar do que vi
Meditar nos erros que cometi
E fugir, da mesma forma que menti…
Para mais tarde regressar,
Parar um bocado e olhar
Para o mundo que nos rodeia,
Não ter medo dos acontecimentos
Que possam suceder em cadeia,
Navegar como nos descobrimentos,
Não encarar os sentimentos,
Como parte do que fomos,
Mas como parte do que somos,
E Ir em frente sem medo,
Porque é incrível, mas nunca é cedo…

Obrigado ilusão,
Já não dói o coração.
Ou dói menos do que ontem.
Mas isto com tempo passa
Esta angustia… esta desgraça…

“Perfect”

alanys_morrisette_jagged_little_pill_acousticSometimes is never quite enough
If you’re flawless, then you’ll win my love
Don’t forget to win first place
Don’t forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You’ve got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You’ve gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn’t good enough
To make us proud

I’ll live through you
I’ll make you what I never was
If you’re the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I’m doing this for your own damn good
You’ll make up for what I blew
What’s the problem…why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn’t fast enough
To make us happy
We’ll love you just the way you are
If you’re perfect

"Saber Com Sabor…"

Só sei o que vejo
E o que vejo és tu
Só sei o que sinto
E o que sinto és tu
Talvez eu seja nada p’ra ti
Talvez seja só mais um
Mas a verdade é que dentro de mim
Existe algo mais forte que amizade comum

Só sei o que vejo
E tu nada vês em mim
Só sei o que sinto
E tu nada sentes por mim
Talvez assim o seja p’ra ti
Talvez seja só mais um
Mas se afirmas não amar ninguém
Então não tenho inveja de nenhum.

“Never Let Me Down”

kanye_west_the_college_dropout[Intro:]

Yeah Grandmama
Told you I won’t let you down
Told you I won’t let this rap game change me, right?

[Chorus:]
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
One thing I found,one thing I found
Oh no you’ll neva let me down,
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)

[Jay-Z:]
Yo, yo first I snatched the street then I snatched the charts,
First had they ear now I hav they’re heart,
Rappers came and went,
I’ve been hear from the start,
Seen them put it together
Watch them take it apart,
See the Rovers roll up wit ribbons
I’ve seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven
So when I reload, he holds #1 position
When u hot I’m hot
And when your feet cold, mines is sizzelin
It’s plain to see
Nigga’s can’t f*** wit me
Cuz ima be that nigga fo life
This is not an image
This is God given
This is hard liven
Mixed wit crystall sippin
It’s the most consistent
Hov
Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and
Nigga I’m home on these charts, y’all niggaz visitin
It’s Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan of rap
I’m back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy

[Chorus]

[Kanye West:]
I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
Made her sit that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat
At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in
With that in my blood I was born to be different
Now niggas can’t make it to ballots to choose leadership
But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership
That’s why I hear new music
And I jus dont be feelin it
Racism still alive they jus be consealin it
But I know they don’t want me in the damn club
They even made me show I.D to get inside of Sam’s club
I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
Swear I’ve been baptised at least 3 or 4 times
But in the land where nigga’s praise
Yukons and getting paid
It gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves
Notin sadder than that day my girl father past away
So I promised to MR.rany I’m gonna marry your daughter
And u know I gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up
And I know that u were smiling when u see that car I bought her
And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up
But I can’t complaint what the accident did to my Left Eye
Cuz look what a accident did to left eye
First Aaliyah and now romeo must die
I know a got angels watchin me from the other side

[Chorus x2]

[J.Ivy:]
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don’t need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I’m delirious, but I’m so damn serious
That’s why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I’m trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I’m not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That’s why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it’s not me, it’s He that’s lyrical
I’m not a miracle, I’m a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That’s why I’m instrumental
Vibrations is what I’m into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I’m tryina give us “us free” like Cinque
I can’t stop, that’s why I’m hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I’m talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can’t, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God’s penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That’s why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I’m one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z (Kanye West)]
Who else you know been hot this long,
(Oh Ya, you know we ain’t finished)
Started from nothing but he got this strong,
(The ROC is in the building)
Built the ROC from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you,
Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special,
Let you tell that man I’m falling,
Well somebody must’ve caught him,
Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan ’em,
Number one albums, what I got like four of dem,
More of dem on the way,
The Eight Wonder on the way,
Clear the way, I’m here to stay,
Y’all can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay,
Dissin’ Jay ‘ill get you mased,
When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious,
Six Hail Maries, please Father forgive us,
Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y’all niggas,
The way y’all all follow Jigga,
Hov’s a living legend and I tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.

dorei a letra…

Aquela mão…

Há coisas que nunca se apagam da nossa memória,todos sabemos que é verdade…
Lembro-me de uma mão… aquela mão… dedos elegantes e suaves, juntos no gelo da noite… um roçar doce que me aquecia a palma da mão… tosca e bruta…
Com o deslizar… calor… daquela mão tão fina e delicada… era tudo, aquele juntar de mãos era o mundo naquele instante, o meu mundo.
Naquela noite… impossível esquecer, tenho as imagens tal qual como
se fosse hoje… agora… neste preciso momento.

A força com que ela me apertava o braço e se aproximava com frio.
O tremer… exterior e interior, um bater descomunal e crescente… o nascer de uma paixão, eterna…
Aquela praia… o som do mar… nada se comparava… nada se comparava mesmo…
Aquele olhar… impossível descrever por mortais palavras…
O frio era muito, o calor era muito…
Parar o tempo era perfeito… perfeito.
Era ali que eu queria viver, parado no tempo com ela, para sempre…

“Coberto por uma cutícula…”

Subo uma rua, abro um portão
Por trás de uma capa e sinto a tensão
Passo o recinto e vejo-te a ti
És dona do meu ser e só agora entendi
Dona deste meu ser e de outro qualquer
Dona do mundo, doce mulher.
Dirijo-me á sala, sigo o meu ser
Sento-me atrás dele para me poder ver
Se não fosse assim como poderia ser?

Talvez tendo uma máscara negra e um manto sem fim
Talvez não sendo mais nada, sendo apenas assim.
Falo com todos e todos me falam.
Quebro a barreira de medo e vergonha
Vejo-me ao longe por entre um reflexo,
Perdido num espaço de imensas lacunas,
Triste e distante, totalmente perplexo.

Agora sim sou feliz,
Sinto-te aqui perto a sorrir
Aqui perto a falar,
Aqui perto a ouvir,
Aqui perto a chorar,
Aqui perto a fugir,
Aqui perto, de mim…
Mas aqui perto de quem?
Se eu não sou nada, não sou ninguém
Sou o negro da máscara
De quem quer ser alguém.

Ateu descuidado, caio no real,
Caio na vida, monótona e banal.
Ironia do destino, correr teatral
Volto a um dia-a-dia intemporal.
Sinto um vazio e uma obrigação racional
Sinto-me preso ao meu interior.
Minha máscara minha, eu incondicional.

Apeteceu-me ir buscar um poema que escrevi à montes de tempo e que mesmo com o passar desse tempo continuo a gostar bastante…
