Coisas de fim-de-semana

Diz-me devagar coisa nenhuma, assim
como a só presença com que me perdoas
esta fidelidade ao meu destino.
Quanto assim não digas é por mim
que o dizes. E os destinos vivem-se
como outra vida. Ou como outra solidão.
E quem lá entra? E quem lá pode estar
mais que o momento de estar só consigo?
Diz-me assim devagar coisa nenhuma:
o que à morte se diria, se ela ouvisse,
ou se diria aos mortos, se voltassem.
Jorge de Sena, Poesia vol. I e II, edições 70, Lisboa 1988

Coisas que persistem

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
And my shame
All my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Coisas que nunca se esquecem

Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
