12 desejos

I
A princípio é simples, anda-se sozinho
passa-se nas ruas bem devagarinho
está-se bem no silêncio e no burburinho
bebem-se as certezas num copo de vinho
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
Pouco a pouco o passo faz-se vagabundo
dá-se a volta ao medo e dá-se a volta ao mundo
diz-se do passado, que está moribundo
bebe-se o alento num copo sem fundo
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
E é então que amigos nos oferecem leito
entra-se cansado e sai-se refeito
luta-se por tudo o que se leva a peito
bebe-se e come-se se alguém nos diz: bom proveito
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
Depois vêm cansaços e o corpo fraqueja
olha-se para dentro e já pouco sobeja
pede-se o descanso, por curto que seja
apagam-se dúvidas num mar de cerveja
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
Enfim de uma escolha faz-se um desafio
enfrenta-se a vida de fio a pavio
navega-se sem mar, sem vela ou navio
bebe-se a coragem até dum copo vazio
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
E entretanto o tempo fez cinza da brasa
e outra maré cheia virá da maré vaza
nasce um novo dia e no braço outra asa
brinda-se aos amores com o vinho da casa
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida.

II
Vou viver até quando eu não sei,
que me importa o que serei..
Quero é viver.
Amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será mais um prazer.
E a vida é sempre uma curiosidade
que me desperta com a idade,
interessa-me o que está para vir.
A vida em mim é sempre uma certeza
que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir.
Encontrar, renovar, vou fugir ao repetir.

III
I wanna live life and never be cruel
I wanna live life and be good to you
And I wanna fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we? No, no
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
I wanna live life and always be true
I wanna live life and be good to you
And I wanna fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we? No, no
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
where making more friends would be easy
Oh, and I don´t have a soul to save
Yes, and I sin every single day
We never change, do we?
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy
I wanna live where the sun comes out..

IV
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly, certainly, certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere else to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

VI
Eu ando pelo mundo prestando atenção
Em cores que eu não sei o nome
Cores de Almodóvar
Cores de Frida Kahlo, cores
Passeio pelo escuro
Eu presto muita atenção no que meu irmão ouve
E como uma segunda pele, um calo, uma casca
Uma cápsula protectora
Eu quero chegar antes
Pra sinalizar o estar de cada coisa
Filtrar seus graus
Eu ando pelo mundo divertindo gente
Chorando ao telefone
E vendo doer a fome dos meninos que têm fome
Pela janela do quarto
Pela janela do carro
Pela tela, pela janela
(Quem é ela? Quem é ela?)
Eu vejo tudo enquadrado
Remoto controle
Eu ando pelo mundo
E os automóveis correm para quê?
As crianças correm para onde
Transito entre dois lados, de um lado
Eu gosto de opostos
Expondo meu modo, me mostro
Eu canto para quem?
Eu ando pelo mundo e meus amigos, cadê?
Minha alegria meu cansaço?
Meu amor, cadê você?
Eu acordei
Não tem ninguém ao lado

VII
Smile
though your heart is aching
Smileeven though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fears and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile
what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile.

VIII
When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special
I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special

IX
Em todas as ruas te encontro
em todas as ruas te perco
conheço tão bem o teu corpo
sonhei tanto a tua figura
que é de olhos fechados que eu ando
a limitar a tua altura
e bebo a água e sorvo o ar
que te atravessou a cintura
tanto tão perto tão real
que o meu corpo se transfigura
e toca o seu próprio elemento
num corpo que já não é seu
num rio que desapareceu
onde um braço teu me procura
Em todas as ruas te encontro
em todas as ruas te perco

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because (it) brings me back you..
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love..

XI
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
for I've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
oh it might burst
could we stay right here
till the end of time until the earth stops turning
wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
all this time I've loved you
and never known your face
all this time I've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
till the end of time
till the earth stops turning
gonna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for
all I've known
all I've done
all I've felt was leading to this
all I've known
all I've done
all I've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
till the end of time till the earth stops turning
gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for
wanna stay right here
till the end of time 'till the earth stops turning
gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for

XII
Now we’re walking down an alley
Now I’m talking spiritually
We got one eye on the future
and the other on our money
And all our feeling goes dead,
when we switch on that channel.
So over fed with the terrible flannel
Try to switch off my head
Use my soul instead
So I’ll get ahead of these things
I said
There’s a soul
Soul
A soulstorm everywhere
It’s a everywhere
Everywhere
A soulstorm everywhere
I was taught that talk is cheap
and I have learned that love is deep
God gave me my soul to keep
So I talk love a whole big heap
And I will not point a finger
for it is timeless and will linger
I keep my own words down
so I won’t drown
Repeat one more time, don’t hinder
There’s a soul
Soul
A soulstorm everywhere
It’s a everywhere
Everywhere
A soulstorm everywhere
Some people might be wondering
Is his head in the clouds
and no ground under him
What the so and so’s he on about
So I’ll just break it down, down (no doubt)
I got up out of bed one misty morning
Found myself sitting there and brainstorming
About how to be true without being corny
Do some soulsstorming
Must be the benefit of the global warming
I realised that there ain’t no harm in
Planting soul and a little farming
Do some soul farming
Soul…
There’s a soul
Soul
A soulstorm everywhere
It’s a everywhere
Everywhere
A soulstorm everywhere
