Mar, azul profundo de Sophia
Que para mim és verde e cinzento
Corres num sentido pouco atento
Leva-lhe, calmo, este estranho alento
De que um dia, um dia seremos alegria.
I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candlew burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
The call to arms was never true Time to imbibe here’s to you I’ll tell you stories bruised and blue Of drum machines and landslides Just one more round before we’re through More psychedelic yuppie flu It’s such a silly thing to do Now we’re stuck on rewind Let’s follow the cops back home And rob their houses The call to arms was never true Let’s take a ride and push it through Suspended animation glue Blame it on apartheid Let’s spend the night in Jimmy shoes I’ll give you coats and cheap shampoo I’ll give you nothing else to do Now we’re stuck on rewind Let’s follow the cops back home and rob their houses The call to arms was never true I’m medicated, how are you? Let’s take a dive, swim right through Sophisticated points of view Let’s follow the cops back home And rob their houses
Ground Control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground Control to Major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may God’s love be with you Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off This is Ground Control to Major Tom You’ve really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare This is Major Tom to Ground Control I’m stepping through the door And I’m floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there’s nothing I can do Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles I’m feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!) Ground Control to Major Tom Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom? am I floating round my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there’s nothing I can do
And so it is Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky I can't take my eyes off of you And so it is Just like you said it should be We'll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial I can't take my eyes off of you Did I say that I Loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?
Se o trilho é irregular de plantas feitas à mão levantada Se as pedras não assentam bem porque falta musgo a consolidar Se a cada passo dado a base treme e ameaça ruir Se o compasso usado para marcar a fronteira não tem bico nem lápis Se não se ouvem as cicatrizes do tempo a passar Se não se contempla a beleza da vida em crescimento Se tudo é feito numa espiral de acontecimentos esbaforidos
E, enorme, nesta massa irregular De prédios sepulcrais, com dimensões de montes, A Dor humana busca os amplos horizontes, E tem marés de fel como um sinistro mar!
Ainda (ou já) te vejo aí no horizonte trémulo és a luz, o poder e o guia que me conduz, o carvalho que sobrevive a dez vidas de homens, o mestre que nos (e me) deixou cedo demais imaculado na memória e eterno na bondade.
Sei que prossegues em mim e por mim que deixaste o olhar do gavião a quem nunca caiu a pena, a contemplação, admiração e crítica sei que não sei se fomos o que deviamos mas sei que saberás que serei como devia.
Em letra enrugada que escreve o maior tenho uma certeza incerta de que foste, és e sempre serás.
