Desejo II

Adormecer

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...

"Sleeping Sun", Nightwish

Desejo...

Noite

Ai,como eu te queria toda de violetas
E flébil de cetim...
Teus dedos longos de marfim,
Que os sombreassem jóias pretas...

E tão febril e delicada
Que nãp pudesses dar um passo -
Sonhando estrelas, transtornada,
Com estampas de cor no regaço...

Queria-te nua e friorenta,
Aconchegando-te em zibelinas -
Sonolenta,
Ruiva de éteres e morfinas...

Ah! que as tuas nostalgias fossem guizos de prata -
Teus frenesins, lantejoulas;
E os ócios em que estiolas,
Luar que se desbarata...

Teus beijos, queria-os de tule
Tarnsparecendo carmim -
Os teus espamos, de seda...

- Água fria e clara numa noite azul,
Água, devia ser o teu amor por mim...

"A Inigualável", Mário de Sá-Carneiro

Sempre...

A Tua Voz

I hear your voice
It sings so softly
Curious to join in
A harmony to breathe forevermore

Joyous the one to hear a voice

In fields where grss grows tall
Golden carpets sweel and whisper
Autumn trees will weep

Imune to pity, I've grown used to grief
The eternal tear reciprocates

In fields where grass grows tall
Golden carpets swell and whisper
Autumn trees will weep

Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
In bleak misery, the lifeless lie in squander

Love has left me, fled from me
Fragrant lust waits beside and dies
Like flowerss that wilt without refreshment
In midday sun I sit and bide time

Adorning me, a lovelorn rhapsody

"Lovelorn Rhapsody", Anathema

Ela...

Escuridão

Era o último amor. A casa fria,
os pés molhados no escuro chão.
Era o último amor e não sabia
esconder o rosto em tanta solidão.

Era o último amor. Quem adivinha
o sabor breve pela escuridão?
Quem oferece frutos nessa neve?
Quem rasga com ternura o que foi verão?

Era o último amor, o mais perfeito
fulgor do que viveu sem as palavras.
Era o último amor, perfil desfeito
entre lumes e vozes e passadas.

Era o último amor e não sabia
que os pés à terra nua oferecia.

"O Último Amor", Luís Filipe Castro Mendes

Para...

Esses olhos...

Never thought I’d feel again, feel the darkness fade and see the morning sun arise
Never thought I’d feel alive again, senses dull and blunt from all the lies
Now, when I hold your face so close to mine I see a place where the sun will shine,
with you it is divine
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side…
(if) Dreams Come True
Do I dare to trust this time?
Ooh, the Bells of Fortune, will I ever hear them chime?
Only those who have been burned before truly know the meaning of Hell's flaming core
I was the brooding night and you were dawn.
Saving me, for I was forlorn, in your light I am reborn.
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side…
(if) Dreams Come True
Then, when the walls are breaking down on us, when all we see is misery will you still believe in me?
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side,
until the sign of winter, always by your side....
(Dreams Come True)
