Isopor
Que a luz da lua escorra
Pela pele, pelos pêlos
E que raios de sol embaracem seus cabelos
Que a vida lhe dê muita saliva
Pra lamber sonho em carne viva
Que seu riso não tenha o mínimo pudor
Que os ventos soprem sempre a seu favor
Que você encontre a cama feita, a mesa farta
A casa em festa
Que a boa estrela grude no meio de sua testa
E que o mal tenha paredes de isopor
“Tudo de bom”
Quando cheguei em casa tava tocando essa… …Cure é bom demais…
…e a dor de cabeça da hora em que eu acordei ainda está comigo…
A letter to Elise
Oh elise it doesn’t matter what you say
i just can’t stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
oh elise it doesn’t matter what you do
i know i’ll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should
the way the blue could pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
at least i’d lose this sense of sensing something else
that hides away
from me and you
there’re worlds to part
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make
oh i just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round
yesterday
i stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you
and the face i saw looked back
the way i wanted to
but i just can’t hold my tears away
the way you do
elise believe i never wanted this
i thought this time i’d keep all of my promises
i thought you were the girl always dreamed about
but i let the dream go
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out…
oh elise
it doesn’t matter what you say
i just can’t stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
and every time i try to pick it up
like falling sand
as fast as i pick it up
it runs away through my clutching hands
but there’s nothing else i can really do
there’s nothing else
i can really do
at all…
…e observando a Lua no caminho de volta do serviço eu lembrei dessa…
…e procurando a letra ainda achei um vídeo da original (1953) de Zé do Norte e Zé Martins…
Lua Bonita
Lua bonita,
Se tu não fosses casada
Eu preparava uma escada
Pra ir no céu te buscar
Se tu colasse teu frio com meu calor
Eu pedia ao nosso senhor
Pra contigo me casar
Lua bonita
Me faz aborrecimento
Ver São Jorge no jumento
Pisando no teu clarão
Pra que cassaste com um homem tão sisudo
Que come dorme faz tudo, dentro do seu coração?
Lua Bonita, Meu São Jorge é teu senhor,
E é por isso que ele “véve” pisando teu esplendor
Lua Bonita se tu ouvisses meus conselhos
Vai ouvir pois sou alheio,
Quem te fala é meu amor
Deixa São Jorge no seu jubaio amuntado
E vem cá para o meu lado
Pra gente viver sem dor.
Zé do Norte e Zé Martins
(Também muito bem interpretada por Raul Rock Seixas, aliás, foi a primeira versão que conheci)
Figurinha repetida…
Return to serenity
I’m gonna take you
To a place far from here
No one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears
No time for anger
No time for despair
Won’t you come with me
There’s room for us there
This innocent beauty
My words can’t describe
This rebirth to purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
No time for anger
No time for despair
Please let me take you
‘Cause I’m already there
I’m so alone
My head’s my home
I’ll return to serenity
Rhyme without reason
Is why children cry
They see through the system
That’s breeding them just so they die
So please let me take you
And I’ll show you the truth
Inside my reality
We shared in my youth
I’m so alone
My head’s my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity
Now that I’ve taken you
To a place far from here
I really must go back
Close your eyes and we’ll disappear
Won’t you come with me
Salvation we’ll share
Inside of my head now
There’s room for us there
Gravity
Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live
I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
