Get together, got to
Take you up in my room and...
Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah
Love my girl
She lookin' good, lookin' real good
Love ya, c'mon

Blake said...

"Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the “windows of the soul”. When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience."

Heroes del Silencio - Heroe de Leyenda

Siempre en la oscuridad
la voz no tiene sentido.

El silencio lo es todo.

Héroe en su propio olvido.

En sus ojos apagados
hay un eterno castigo,
el héroe de leyenda
pertenece al sueño
de un destino.

Encerrado en el tiempo
ha perdido el valor
para escapar de su celda
el héroe sin ilusión.

En sus ojos apagados
hay un eterno castigo,
el héroe de leyenda
pertenece al sueño
de un destino.

En sus ojos apagados
hay un eterno castigo,
el héroe de leyenda
pertenece al sueño
de un destino.

Su Sitio Fiel

Las nubes y los árboles se funden

y el sol les trasparenta su honda paz.

Tan grande es la armonía del abrazo,

que la quiere gozar también el mar,

el mar que está tan lejos, que se acerca,

que ya se oye latir, que huele ya.

El cerco universal se va apretando,

y ya en toda la hora azul no hay más

que la nube, que el árbol, que la ola,

síntesis de la gloria cenital.

El fin está en el centro. Y se ha sentado

aquí, su sitio fiel, la eternidad.

Para eso hemos venido. (Cae todo

lo otro, que era luz provisional.)

Y todos los destinos aquí salen,

aquí entran, aquí suben, aquí están.

Tiene el alma un descanso de caminos

que han llegado a su único final.

Juan Ramón Jiménez

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There're secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...

Or maybe I'm just blind...
Or maybe I'm just blind...

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone...

When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Or maybe I'm just blind...

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone...

Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

At That Hour

At that hour when all things have repose,
O lonely watcher of the skies,
Do you hear the night wind and the sighs
Of harps playing unto Love to unclose
The pale gates of sunrise?

When all things repose, do you alone
Awake to hear the sweet harps play
To Love before him on his way,
And the night wind answering in antiphon
Till night is overgone?

Play on, invisible harps, unto Love,
Whose way in heaven is aglow
At that hour when soft lights come and go,
Soft sweet music in the air above
And in the earth below.

James Joyce

O Mundo Antigo - Egipto (Parte I e II)

Mi Alma

Asómate a mi älma

en momentos de calma,

y tu imagen verás, sueño divino,

temblar allí como en el fondo oscuro

de un lago cristalino.

José Asunción Silva

Queen - Friends will be Friends

 

Another red letter day,
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating,
The other half ran away,
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber,
Got a pain in the chest,
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest

It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end

Now it's a beautiful day,
The postman delivered a letter from your lover,
Only a phone call away,
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number,
As a matter of fact,
You're getting used to life without him in your way

It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends (right till the end)

Amigo

"Um verdadeiro amigo é o maior de todos os bens e igualmente, de todos, aquele que menos nos preocupamos em adquirir."

The Doors - The Severed Garden

Wow, I'm sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
south
Cruel bindings
The sevants have the power
dog-men & their mean women
pulling poor blankets over
our sailors
I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the T.V.
Tower, I want roses in
my garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
for the plant that's plowed
they are waiting to take us into
the severed garden
Do you know how pale
& wanton
thrillful
comes death on a stranger hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring
over-friendly guest
you've
brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
& gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws
No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems
by far the best
until its other jaw reveals incest
& loose obedience
to a vegetable law
I will not go
Prefer a feast of friends
To the Giant family

Pain

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

Jim Morrison

Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

Is This the Price of Love?

Never again the sight of her?

Never her winsome smile

Shall light the path of my journeying

O'er many a weary mile?

Never again shall her soft voice come

To cheer me all the while?

O Thou, who hearest from above,

Tell me, is this the price of love?

Never again the touch of her lips?

Never her dark, brown eyes

Shall shine on me with the dancing joy

Of stars in the summe skies?

Never again shall my song be aught

Save minor chords of sighs?

O Thou, who hearest from above,

Tell me, is this the price of love?

Joseph Seamon Cotter

The Pixies - Dig for Fire

there is this old woman
she lives down the road
you can often find her
kneeling inside of her hole
and I often ask her
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then she said

I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

there is this old man
who spent so much of his life sleeping
that he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
he resides
on a beach
in a town
where I am going to live
and I often ask him
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then he said

I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

Letrillas a unos ojos

I

Tus ojuelos, niña,
me matan de amor.

Ora vagos giren,
o fíjense atentos,
o miren exentos,
o lánguidos miren,
o injustos se aíren
contra mi dolor,
tus ojuelos, niña,
me matan de amor.

Si se alzan al cielo
llenos de temores,
si alegran las flores
tornados al suelo,
o abaten el vuelo
de mi ciego error,

siempre, niña hermosa,
me matan de amor.

Tórnalos, te ruego,
niña, hacia otro lado,
que casi he cegado
de mirar su fuego.
¡Ay!, tórnalos luego,
no con más rigor
tus lindos ojuelos
me maten de amor.

II

Niña, tus ojuelos
no sé cómo son,
que siendo mi vida
me matan de amor.

Ora vagos giren,
o fíjense atentos,
o miren contentos,
o amorosos miren,
o airados retiren
todo su esplendor,
tus ojuelos, niña,
me matan de amor.

Si se alzan al cielo
llenos de temores,
o colman de flores,
con mirarlo, al suelo,
o abaten el vuelo
a mi ciego error,
siempre, niña hermosa,
me matan de amor.

Niña de mis ojos,
¿cómo son, me di,
los tuyos que así
glorias dan y enojos?
Y si sus despojos
mis potencias son,
¿para qué, mi vida,
me matan de amor?

Si me sois piadosos,
¿cómo me matáis?
no, ¿a qué me dais
la vida amorosos?
¡Ay, ojos hermosos!,
qué tal rigor,
que siendo mi vida,
me matáis de amor?

Juan Meléndez Valdés

Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People

We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than farther
The scent of lemon, drips from your eyes
We are the people who rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world

Take me now
We can try

We lived an adventure
Love in Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where we’d energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I know everything about you
Know everything about me
Know everything about us

I know everything about you

Know everything about me
Know everything about us

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try

Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

Beauty Imposes

Beauty imposes reverence in the Spring,
Grave as the urge within the honeybuds,
It wounds us as we sing.

Beauty is joy that stays not overlong.
Clad in the magic of sincerities,
It rides up in a song.

Beauty imposes chastenings on the heart,
Grave as the birds in last solemnities
Assembling to depart.

John Shaw Neilson

The Pixies - Ana

O Mundo Antigo - O Mistério da Babilónia (Partes IV e V)

James - Laid

This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home
Pretty
Pretty

Êxtase

"A alma inteira nunca está concentrada, a não ser no êxtase."

Hofmannsthal, Hugo in "O Livro dos Amigos"

The Cure - A Forest

come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
calling my name
the sound is deep
in the dark
I hear her voice
and start to run
into the trees

into the trees

into the trees
suddenly I stop
but I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
all alone
the girl was never there
it's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
again and again and again

Amor m'impenna l'ale, e tanto in alto

Amor mueve mis alas, y tan alto
las lleva el amoroso pensamiento,
que de hora en hora así subiendo siento
quedar mi padescer más corto y falto.

Temo tal vez mientra mi vuelo exalto,
mas llega luego a mí el conoscimiento
y pruébase que es poco en tal tormento
por inmortal honor un mortal salto.

Que si otro puso al mar perpetuo nombre
do el soberbio valor le dio la muerte,
presumiendo de sí más que podía,

de mí dirán: «Aquí fue muerto un hombre
que si al cielo llegar negó su suerte,
la vida le faltó, no la osadía.»

Gutierre de Cetina

James - Say Something

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide

Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
(More than a) Whole lot of drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Say something, say something, anything,
I’ve shown you everything
Give me a sign

I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind

Palavra

"Quais são as tuas palavras essenciais? As que restam depois de toda a tua agitação e projectos e realizações. As que esperam que tudo em si se cale para elas se ouvirem. As que talvez ignores por nunca as teres pensado. As que podem sobreviver quando o grande silêncio se avizinha."

Ferreira, Vergílio

Moonspell - Nocturna

High heels of crystal
stuck in the heart
daylight that heals
the fullmoon scars
Spider strategy
and the wish to be
at one with me
throughout the fright

It is so real
So full of light
(when) Nocturna steals the night

Sister of cain
all our breed slain
the youthful oath
remains the same
le mal de vivre
that never ends
but the hunt (for you) goes on
throughout the night

It is so real
So full of light
(when) Nocturna steals the night

Coming Soon - Predators

Placebo - Running up that hill

De una Reflexión Cuerda con que Mitiga el Dolor de una Pasión

Con el dolor de la mortal herida,
de un agravio de amor me lamentaba,
y por ver si la muerte se llegaba
procuraba que fuese más crecida.

Toda en el mal el alma divertida,
pena por pena su dolor sumaba,
y en cada circunstancia ponderaba
que sobraban mil muertes a una vida.

Y cuando, al golpe de uno y otro tiro
rendido el corazón, daba penoso
señas de dar el último suspiro,

no sé con qué destino prodigioso
volví a mi acuerdo y dije: ¿qué me admiro?
¿Quién en amor ha sido más dichoso?

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Queen - I'm Going Slightly Mad

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Oh dear

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - uh huh
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Oh dear

Ooh ooh ah ah
Ooh ooh ah ah

I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it

La Ausencia

Cuando el amor se va,
parece que se inmensa.

¡Cómo le aumenta el alma
a la carne la pena!

Cuando se pone el sol
lo ahondan las estrellas.

Fugees - Ready or Not

Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make you want me.

[CLEF:]
Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
Those who could relate know the world ain't cake
Jail bars ain't golden gates
Those who fake, they break,
When they meet their 400 pound mate
If I could rule the world
Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
When giddyupin' on their horse
I Kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
Thinkin' 'bout the robbery that I did last week.
Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
I want to play with pelicans from here to Baghdad
Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist.
I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends,
A born again hooligan only to be king again.

[LAURYN:]
I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest,
No stress
If you don't smoke sess, lest.
I must confess, my destiny's manifest
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess,
Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, YES
Bless you if you represent the Fu
But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're Doo Doo
Voo Doo,
I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME
Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you're imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.

[Chorus:]
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly

[LAURYN'S INTERLUDE]

You can't run away
From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby
Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
And anywhere you go
My whole crew's gonna know
You can't hide from the block, oh no.

[PRAZ:]
Ready or not, refugees takin' over
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rhasta
On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber
Crews run for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers
Superfly true lies, do or die,
Toss me high - only puff la,
With my crew from lock high
I refugee from Guantanamo Bay
Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay

[Chorus (Lauryn):]

Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make You Want Me

Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make You Want Me

Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make You Want Me

Coragem

"A coragem é a primeira das qualidades humanas porque garante todas as outras."

Aristóteles

Pixies - I bleed

as loud as hell
a ringing bell
behind my smile
it shakes my teeth
and all the while
as vampires feed
i bleed

prithee, my dear,
why are we here
nobody knows
we go to sleep
as breathing flows
my mind secedes
i bleed

there's a place
in the buried west
in a cave
with a house in it
in the clay
the holes of hands
you can place
a hand in hand
in bleed

Bicarbonato de Soda

Súbita, uma angústia...
Ah, que angústia, que náusea do estômago à alma!
Que amigos que tenho tido!
Que vazias de tudo as cidades que tenho percorrido!
Que esterco metafísico os meus propósitos todos!

Uma angústia,
Uma desconsolação da epiderme da alma,
Um deixar cair os braços ao sol-pôr do esforço...
Renego.
Renego tudo.
Renego mais do que tudo.
Renego a gládio e fim todos os Deuses e a negação deles.
Mas o que é que me falta, que o sinto faltar-me no estômago e na
circulação do sangue?
Que atordoamento vazio me esfalfa no cérebro?

Devo tomar qualquer coisa ou suicidar-me?
Não: vou existir. Arre! Vou existir.
E-xis-tir...
E--xis--tir ...

Meu Deus! Que budismo me esfria no sangue!
Renunciar de portas todas abertas,
Perante a paisagem todas as paisagens,

Sem esperança, em liberdade,
Sem nexo,
Acidente da inconsequência da superfície das coisas,
Monótono mas dorminhoco,
E que brisas quando as portas e as janelas estão todas abertas!
Que verão agradável dos outros!

Dêem-me de beber, que não tenho sede!

Álvaro de Campos in "Poemas"

oasis - I´m Outta Time

Here's a song
It reminds me of when we were young
Looking back at all the things we've done
You gotta keep on keepin' on

Out to sea
Is the only place I am asleep
Can get myself some piece of mind
You know it's getting hard to fly

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud
Or would you hide behind the law
Because If I am to go
In my heart you grow
And that's where you belong

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud
Or would you hide behind the law
Because If I am to go
In my heart you grow
And that's where you belong

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud
Or would you hide behind the law
Because If I am to go
In my heart you grow
And that's where you belong

Yes I'm out of time
I'm out of time
I'm out of time
I'm out of time

I'm out of time

William Shakespeare - To be, or not to be

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 

And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; 

No more; and by a sleep to say we end 

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks 

That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation 

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; 

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; 

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come 

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 

Must give us pause: there's the respect 

That makes calamity of so long life; 

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, 

The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, 

The insolence of office and the spurns 

That patient merit of the unworthy takes, 

When he himself might his quietus make 

With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, 

To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 

But that the dread of something after death, 

The undiscover'd country from whose bourn 

No traveller returns, puzzles the will 

And makes us rather bear those ills we have 

Than fly to others that we know not of? 

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; 

And thus the native hue of resolution 

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, 

And enterprises of great pith and moment 

With this regard their currents turn awry, 

And lose the name of action. - Soft you now! 

The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons 

Be all my sins remember'd.

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

Fuego e Hielo

Aunque mi cuerpo se hiela, me imagino que me quemo; y es que el hielo algunas veces hace la impresión del fuego. Rosalía de Castro

The Cult - Fire Woman

Fire woman, yeah
Shake, shake, shake, shake it, yeah

Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey
Oh, since I set my eyes on you

T-t-t-t-twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby
You're driving me crazy
Come on, little honey

Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning
Well, shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame

Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack
Lord, have mercy
Come on little sister
Come on and shake it
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smoke on the horizon, yeah
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smokestack lightning, baby
I was thinking what I've been missing
I'll tell you truthfully, well
She's coming close now
Oh, I can feel her
She's getting close to me
And I never, yeah
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smoke on the horizon
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising, rising, rising fire
Smokestack lightning
A-j-j-j...
Burnin' out
and shake it, baby.
Come on and burn it.
I say send down fire to me
say send down fire to me
say send down fire to me, yeah!
Fire woman, you're to blame...

A Mulher

Se é clara a luz desta vermelha margem
é porque dela se ergue uma figura nua
e o silêncio é recente e todavia antigo
enquanto se penteia na sombra da folhagem.
Que longe é ver tão perto o centro da frescura

e as linhas calmas e as brisas sossegadas!
O que ela pensa é só vagar, um ser só espaço
que no umbigo principia e fulge em transparência.
Numa deriva imóvel, o seu hálito é o tempo
que em espiral circula ao ritmo da origem.

Ela é a amante que concebe o ser no seu ouvido, na corola
do vento. Osmose branca, embriaguez vertiginosa.
O seu sorriso é a distância fluida, a subtileza do ar.
Quase dorme no suave clamor e se dissipa
e nasce do esquecimento como um sopro indivisível.

António Ramos Rosa in "Volante Verde"

Frank Sinatra - As Time Goes By

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say: "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It´s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Tão Cedo Passa Tudo quanto Passa

Tão cedo passa tudo quanto passa! 
Morre tão jovem ante os deuses quanto
Morre! Tudo é tão pouco!
Nada se sabe, tudo se imagina.
Circunda-te de rosas, ama, bebe
E cala. O mais é nada.

Ricardo Reis in "Odes"

Artes Marciais - Karate Goju Ryu - Parte V FIM

DOJO 

O recinto de prática do Karate-Do denomina-se, em japonês, DOJO, tradicionalmente um local sagrado onde nos treinamos e aperfeiçoamos física e mentalmente. 

“Todo lugar pode ser considerado um Dojo” 

Ditado budista. 

Um Dojo é um cosmos em miniatura, onde entramos em contacto com nós mesmos, com os nossos medos, ansiedades, reacções e hábitos. É uma zona de conflitos controlados, onde enfrentamos oponentes que não são adversários mas sim companheiros, empenhados em ajudar-nos a compreendermos melhor a nossa própria essência. 

É um lugar onde podemos aprender muito em pouco tempo sobre quem somos e como nos comportamos no mundo. Os conflitos que ocorrem no interior do Dojo ajudam-nos a entender o que ocorre fora dele. A concentração total e a disciplina exigidas no estudo do Karate Do têm continuidade no quotidiano. A actividade no Dojo solicita que estejamos constantemente a procurar coisas novas, tornando-se assim uma fonte de aprendizagem, de auto-iluminação.

Todos os Dojos são presididos por um SENSEI, que significa mestre em japonês. 

SEN quer dizer “antes”, e SEI “nascido”, deste modo, aquele que nasceu antes de nós é nosso mestre. Isto significa que aquele que se iniciou antes no Karate (nasceu antes), não em idade cronológica, visto que muitos mestres são mais jovens que os alunos, mas sim em termos de experiência e conhecimentos. 

O SENSEI das artes marciais assemelha-se ao mestre Zen, não procura o discípulo, nem impede que ele se vá embora. Se o aluno deseja ser guiado por um caminho duro e difícil, que exige habilidade e destreza, o instrutor está disposto a actuar como guia e a acompanhá-lo ao longo desse caminho. 

O papel do instrutor é delegar no aluno as tarefas que seja capaz de realizar, deixando depois que tome as suas próprias decisões em função dos seus sentimentos e capacidades. O aluno pode seguir os passos do seu guia ou escolher algum atalho alternativo por decisão própria. 

O título SENSEI 

Sensei é uma expressão japonesa de respeito. É utilizada quando nos dirigimos a professores ou a profissionais como médicos, advogados ou outros. 

No ocidente muitas pessoas, devido à diferença cultural, não a utilizam de forma adequada. 

A palavra Sensei é um termo honorífico, nunca devemos referir-nos a nós próprios como Sensei, sendo um acto de arrogância.

Devemos chamar a qualquer instrutor Sensei, estando ou não a estudar sobre a sua orientação, não o fazer é falta de respeito. Isto não significa falta de lealdade para com o nosso mestre é, pelo contrário, exactamente o que ele espera de nós. 

O título sensei deve ser sempre acrescentado ao nome do instrutor e não apenas no Dojo. O Budo é uma forma de vida, e o respeito pelos mais graduados deve ser permanente, no Japão, e, esperamos, também no nosso país. 

Se ouvirmos o nosso Sensei chamar um assistente pelo seu primeiro nome não significa que o possamos fazer também. Aquele indivíduo é um estudante do Sensei mas continua a ser um instrutor graduado e deve ser tratado por Sensei. 

Excepções podem ocorrer em alguns Dojos ou entre algumas pessoas, mas estes conceitos são aceites universalmente no meio do Karate. 

Lembrem-se que o Karate começa e acaba com respeito. Este é o Caminho que escolhemos. 

Etiqueta do Dojo 

Qualquer arte marcial pressupõe a existência de uma disciplina na sua aprendizagem e execução. As artes marciais japonesas começam e terminam com delicadeza e respeito mútuo, indispensáveis para a elevação da personalidade dos seus praticantes. 

Comparado com outras artes marciais o Karate, é uma arte de combate que contem elementos muito perigosos nas suas técnicas, facilmente se pode transmitir a impressão de dureza e violência e criar situações agressividades descontrolada e perigosa. Para prevenir este tipo de situações o Karate tem uma longa história e tradição de educação, respeito e boa conduta. 

Desde os tempos mais antigos que nas Katas se faz uma saudação no início e outra ao terminar. Não existe nenhuma Kata que comece com um ataque, sempre se inicia com uma defesa. Esta é a filosofia e o espírito do Karate. 

Deste modo, o karateka deve ter sempre presente na sua mente que está a treinar o seu coração e o seu espírito. Fazendo-o desta forma o praticante não se torna uma pessoa arrogante nem orgulhosa, mas sim uma pessoa educada. 

Em algumas ocasiões a etiqueta do Dojo é erradamente considerada como um cerimonial sem sinceridade. O correcto é que seja uma expressão natural de respeito e educação com os outros. Os karatecas devem treinar em silêncio, seguindo as directrizes emanadas pelo instrutor, sem esta disciplina (que deve ser livremente aceite por todos os praticantes), não é possível um trabalho sério e proveitoso.

Franz Ferdinand - Take me Out

So if you're lonely
You know
I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross-hair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken shattered,
I lie
I'm just a cross-hair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here
With you I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out
I say you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say... take me out
I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out
If I move, this could die
If eyes move this can die
I want you... to take me out
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here
With you I say, don't you know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out
If I wait this could die
If I wane this could die
I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die
If eyes move this can die
Come on... Take me out
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here (With you)
I know I won't be leaving here
With you

Absoluto Amor

Como una limpia mañana de besos morenos
cuando las plumas de la aurora comenzaron
a marcar iniciales en el cielo. Como recta
caída y amanecer perfecto.

Amada inmensa
como una violeta de cobalto puro
y la palabra clara del deseo.

Gota de anís en el crepúsculo
te amo con aquella esperanza del suicida poeta
que se meció en el mar
con la más grande de las perezas románticas.

Te miro así
como mirarían las violetas una mañana
ahogada en un rocío de recuerdos.

Es la primera vez que un absoluto amor de oro
hace rumbo en mis venas.

Así lo creo te amo
y un orgullo de plata me corre por el cuerpo.

Encantamento

"Onde é que se pode encontrar o teu próprio eu? Sempre no mais profundo encantamento que experimentaste."

Hofmannsthal, Hugo in "O Livro dos Amigos"

Metallica - Fade To Black

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Can't stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye, *Goodbye*

Mulher Sedução

"A mulher gosta de saber despertar o desejo no homem, mas fica horrorizada se lhe reconhecem essa capacidade."

Respirar

"Por saúde, quero dizer a possibilidade de levar uma vida completa, adulta, viva, em que eu esteja em estado de respirar em comunhão com aquilo de que gosto."
