LUSOFIA

 Its nine oclock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Theres an old man sitting next to me
Makin love to his tonic and gin

He says, son, can you play me a memory?
Im not really sure how it goes
But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Sing us a song, youre the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a melody
And youve got us feelin alright

Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that hed rather be
He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well Im sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Now paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin with davy whos still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, theyre sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin alone

Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me theyve been comin to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin here?

 

Há pessoas que vivem e outras que nem tanto….

Há que dar o devido valor a quem com mais ou menos dificuldades, com 20 ou com 70 anos, com mais  saúde ou com debilidades se esforça para ter uma vida preenchida, cheia de peripécias, aventuras e conhecimentos.

 

Viver está a dar e é de aproveitar!!

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 ou repetir

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

a vida é sempre uma curiosidade

Fui pai faz hoje um mês.

Não há qualquer conjunto de palavras que me possa ajudar a descrever a sensação, pelo que, fica apenas o desejo que a partir de agora tudo corra bem com o meu filho e comigo, que tenhamos saúde para desfrutar uma relação de pai para filho e que lhe consiga transmitir a educação e os valores que os meus pais me passaram.

Tentarei ser o melhor pai possivel, não vai ser fácil mas tenho uma boa escola - melhor pai que o meu é impossivel !!!

Amo-te filho mais do que qualquer outra coisa.

 

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
(Son– Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them They know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father– Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)

Fortemente dedicado á minha grande mulher.

Só e chega. 

the coolest thing i ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
you looked at me to say don’t guess
i was only watching, yes i love you more undressed
is it really such a sin?
should i feel some kind of shame?
will i truly go to hell?
oh you never lock the bathroom door
should i be embarrassed when i’ve seen a hundred times before
how do married couples cope
should i say excuse me darling, i don’t know
