I found a boy

At some point, based in our life experience, it's hard to believe that you will ever explain yourself again so completely and utterly that someone will know exactly who you are.

But.

"Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am home again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am young again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you

However long I stay I will always love you

Whatever words I say I will always love you

I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am free again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am clean again".

Pois.

In every goodbye

And until living by your side.

Mas que sei eu

Mas que sei eu das folhas no outono
ao vento vorazmente arremessadas
quando eu passo pelas madrugadas
tal como passaria qualquer dono?

Eu sei que é vão o vento e lento o sono
e acabam coisas mal principiadas
no ínvio precipício das geadas
que pressinto no meu fundo abandono

Nenhum súbito súbdito lamenta
a dor de assim passar que me atormenta
e me ergue no ar como outra folha

qualquer. Mas eu que sei destas manhãs?
As coisas vêm vão e são tão vãs
como este olhar que ignoro que me olha

Ruy Belo

"The world makes all kind of rules for love

I say you gotta let it do what it does"

"A tradução é um exercício de reconhecimento, de gratidão para com o outro."

André Markowicz

"When humans experience others (...) paradoxically this experience of getting beyond the self allows humans to become as fully human as we can be, that is, human in the context of a biologically rich world full of other interesting living beings."

Paul Waldau, Animal Rights - What everyone needs to know

O.K., nós não trabalhávamos, e para dizer
a verdade nem todas as recordações são boas.
Mas tivemos bons momentos por vezes.
O amor era bom. Eu amava o teu sono inquieto
a meu lado e nunca sonhei com medo.

Devia haver estrelas para grandes guerras
como a nossa.

Sandra Cisneros

Bootleg

Pillow at night

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
                                                      I fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

"You'll never know if you never try"

"And you don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is"

I have so many bruises but you have such a smile
