Quem sabe...

Já o conheço...
Cada flor encantada que o ladeia, cada árvore mágica que o abraça,
cada fada que o povoa, cada sonho que nele se respira...

Já o conheço...
Cada grão de areia que se pisa, cada pedra em que se tropeça,
cada montanha que tem que se subir, cada ponte que tem que se atravessar...

Já o conheço...
Cada fantasia que nos enfeitiça, cada promessa que nos faz,
cada arco-íris que nos mostra, cada sentimento que nos seduz...

Já o conheço...
Cada logro que nos traz, cada amargura que nos oferece
cada réstia que nos furta, cada gota de amor-próprio que nos leva...

Já o conheço...e bem...
E desta vez, quem sabe, não me apanha desprevenido...

The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honour
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Build

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From Meccano to Legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt

Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
It's wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

It's build

Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build

The Truth

Be truthful...to your self above all, no matter how difficult it is to accept the truth. Always use impartiality in judgement, keep your eyes wide open, and live with a spearheaded spirit...

Remember, disappointment comes from your own expectations...have no expectations, get no disappointments...

Life

Sometimes, to get where you want, you must go through where you don't want to...but, hey, that's just the way life is...

What else is there?

Frozen in fear
in the middle of the plain
just stood there, under the rain
not knowing what to do
In silence
quiet, not even blinking

Earing nothing
Simply staring in front
Like a small prey,
mesmerized lost eyes, immobile
seems to be waiting to be hunt

Not even a sound
can be heard,
but the one from the drops falling
and the leaves in the branches
pushed by the wind

Not even a sight
can be seen, in the dark
but the small sparkling glow on the iris
a reflection of the moon
on the twilight before the hour

And the lightning bolt
illuminated the evening stormy sky,
just flashed and struck
In a split second
raging through the air
bursting right down to the ground

Didn't even understood
or feel the numb warmness
rushing through the skin
just until it was
barely too late

Defenseless, or so he tought...
