I´m Not Dead

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I´m not there. I do not sleep.
I´m a thousand winds that blow;
I´m a diamond glints of snow;
I´m sunlight on ripened grain;
I´m gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush;
I´m the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds encircled flight
I´m the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I´m not there, I did not die.

Saudades

Saudades! Sim... talvez... e porque não?...
Se o nosso sonho foi tão alto e forte
Que bem pensara vê-lo até à morte
Deslumbrar-me de luz o coração!

Esquecer! Para quê?... Ah! como é vão!
Que tudo isso, Amor, nos não importe.
Se ele deixou beleza que conforte
Deve-nos ser sagrado como pão!

Quantas vezes, Amor, já te esqueci,
Para mais doidamente me lembrar,
Mais doidamente me lembrar de ti!

E quem dera que fosse sempre assim:
Quanto menos quisesse recordar
Mais a saudade andasse presa a mim!

Florbela Espanca

Homenagem ao verdadeiro amigo

O meu amigo dos bons e maus momentos.

Parece um metaleiro...

Mil Palavras

De facto é caso para dizer : " Uma imagem vale mais que mil palavras".

If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray, your soul to keep,
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and a kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lift up in praise,
I would videotape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming, you know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
There will always be another day
to say our "I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do's?
But just in chase I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and hope we never forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young and old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get
to hold your loved one tight...
So if your waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear,
Take time to say I'm sorry," "please forgive me,"
"thank you," or "it's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Shelly´s song

Angels carried you to your rightful place.
So suddenly you were taken from me
with a demon's haste.
In my heart, mind, soul I see your radiance,
warmth, and sway.
I walk in darkness; but you are the light
in my heart.
So much of you is my life.
I will avenge those who placed our happiness
in strife.
The deepest love cuts oh so profoundly.

Thank You - Dido

My tea's gone cold, I wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

Minha homenagem a Brandon Lee

Fechou-se a única porta de fuga,
quebrou-se a terra,
sangrou a estrela,
e o homem,
que pelo seu amor lutou,
e ao mal não se rendeu,
indefeso morreu.
O seu corpo à terra voltou,
um ano depois,
o seu amor ressuscitou,
um corvo,
de novo, o libertou,
trazendo-o de volta,
para o mundo que o matou.
A sua mente está atordoada,
o seu coração despedaçado,
e a sua sede de vingança,
um novo destino traçou,
pois para sempre,
o seu eterno amor...
vingou...

Em memória de Brandon Lee

A Crow´s Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Crow my soul to take

Raise me from the depths of woe
Lead me hence before my foe
Grant me power, make me strong
Guide me as I right the wrong

Let not my face be seen by gods
Paint me a mask to hide my thoughts
Make it the last thing my slayer sees
While he begs for mercy on his knees

This night shall blood be spilled
As it was when I was killed
I am Pain's angel with black wings
Lo and behold, your death I bring

Shadows of time...

In the midst of time
You will find
Behind the mind
There is a memory that lies
Out of reach, to be forgotten
But you recall what you sought then
As the walls open to free what’s left
You remember why you kept
It buried so deep inside
Why you wanted so much to hide it
It was her death, and yours....
As your eyes open you see a crow
Which connects to you, and then you know
The crow caws:
“It is time my avenger, follow me..."

Brandon Lee´s last interview

Brandon Lee´s last interview

"The crow in the film, the bird in the film; you could really look at as a guide...Almost a piece of his own personality that guides him back into his life and reminds him of who he was, what happened to him.
This is a person who has been pushed right to the limits of his ability to cope what is going on. And in a sense is quite mad sometimes... In a sense completely insane, almost in a sense that you might think of an insane person having voices. More rational voices that try to guide him...More irrational voices that come from a more emotional... More deep-seated place. I think that the crow his that rational voice, the crow is his guide.
The crow helps Eric to do what he has to do in a very practical sense; it leads him to places where he has to be, it helps him find people he has to find.
It’s a story about justice for victims.
His mission is to find the people who killed himself and his fiancée, and kill them.
Its a wonderful role, it really is a role that you can take risks with, and gives you a wonderful opportunity to take those risks & stretch, because after all can you tell me how someone who has come back from the dead will behave.
That is one of the wonderful things about playing this character, its a real.... you can really take the gloves off in playing this part because there are no rules on how a person who has come back from the dead is going to behave.
There is a part of him that is filled with rage towards what was done to him. And another of the things that I like about this movie is that all the parts of the character are given balance on the screen. He is torn up really badly, both physically and psychically.
I think the appeal of Eric’s mission is that it is a very pure one. He has come back to seek justice.
I have done other films that have had violence in them, but I have never done anything where I felt that the violence was as justified as this. There is very little need to worry about compassion for his victims.
This is justice, and I truly feel that it is, and I truly feel if I was in the same situation I would do the same thing: It is something that he has to do, and he is forced to put aside his own pain long enough to do what he has to.
This film deals with the concept of a solution being struck between good and evil.
Because we do not know when we are going to die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps 4 .... 5 times more. Perhaps not even that.
How many times will you watch the full moon rise ...... Perhaps twenty and yet it all seems limitless.
This is the point of view this character is coming from in the whole film, because it has brought sharply into focus how precious each moment of his life was.

Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Para ti Bshell, espero que gostes...jinhos

Why say more...

Numa tarde de domingo,

se decidiu o campeonato,

Ganhou o melhor clube do mundo,

o mais adorado,

enchendo os corações de alegria,

pelo título,

à muito esperado.

Relembrar

Porquê relembrar o passado,
Tentando esquecer o presente,
Voltando atrás no tempo,
Recordando nostalgias,
De algo em nós iminente,
Um sentimento controverso,
O medo de avançar,
Tentando do passado viver,
Devido ao medo,
Do futuro alcançar.

Liberdade

Um belo começo de dia,
O sol a rasgar os céus,
Sentindo uma leve brisa,
Passando em braços meus,
Sinto o cheiro do verão,
Sinto o cheiro do mar,
Sinto que acima de tudo,
A liberdade anda no ar.

Ser poeta - Florbela Espanca

Ser poeta é ser mais alto, é ser maior
Do que os homens! Morder como quem beija!
É ser mendigo e dar como quem seja
Rei do Reino de Áquem e de Além Dor!

É ter de mil desejos o esplendor
E não saber sequer que se deseja!
É ter cá dentro um astro que flameja,
É ter garras e asas de condor!

É ter fome, é ter sede de Infinito!
Por elmo, as manhãs de oiro e de cetim...
É condensar o mundo num só grito!

E é amar-te, assim, perdidamente...
É seres alma, e sangue, e vida em mim
E dizê-lo cantando a toda a gente!

Believe In Angels - Heather Nova

Where the silence falls, there the river runs deep
Where the shadow ends, so begins the dream
Where the hunger leads me, it's hard to believe
I'll be lost in/to you

It's the blood that ties, it's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide, hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now, yeah, I'm afraid to breathe
And I'm lost in/to you, yeah, (I'm) lost in/to you

I believe in a heaven, I believe in the night
I believe there's a path we/to follow, I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil, part of you is the light
You're/I'm gonna fly through the city of angels
Hold me under, let the river wash away my sins
Let me drown in/and you, let the water and the love rush you
You can hear me whisper when you're listening
And I'm lost in/to you, yeah, (I'm) lost in/to you

I believe in a heaven, I believe in the night
I believe there's a path we/to follow, I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil, part of you is the light
You're/I'm gonna fly through the city of angels

It's the blood that ties, it's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide, hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now, I long to believe
And I'm lost in/to you, yeah, (I'm) lost in/to you

I believe in a heaven, I believe in the night
I believe there's a path we/to follow, I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil, part of you is the light
You're/I'm gonna fly through the city of angels

Numb - Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes

[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

Reencontrar o Amor

Tudo começou,
Por ser uma brincadeira entre miúdos,
Hoje, mulher feita,
Dou valor aos momentos,
Em que do meu lado estiveste,
Naquelas noites friorentas,
Em que o meu corpo aqueceste,
Ao teu lado renasci,
De um mundo tão tristonho,
Aprendi o que é sorrir,
E enterrei todo o medo,
Sei que te fiz por vezes sofrer,
Culpo-me por isso,
E não te ajudar,
Aos teus fantasmas do passado,
Esquecer,
Por isso a minha ajuda de nada valeu,
Falhei como pessoa,
Falhei como mulher,
Uma esperança deposito,
Nesta nova etapa da tua vida,
Em que ajuda foste procurar,
Para que às tuas questões possas responder,
Possas o medo de viver um futuro feliz,
Afastar,
Do meu lado voltes a estar,
E juntos o nosso amor,
Possamos reatar,
Sem medos,
Que possam a nossa relação estragar.
Não sei se te mereço,
Pois dizes que como eu não há igual,
Sinto-me mal em ouvir isso,
Afasto-me de ti,
Mas sem ti,
Enlouqueço.
