O (Fly On)

Look up to the sky. I don't know what will be there but I can always imagine. I can make poems with whatever word you give me. You choose, I write. Any word. It is the pure truth. Some inspire more than others but the trick is the link between things. So we can reverse the worst scenarios into beautiful things. It just depends on how we look at what we have. Just watch here.


Olhar para o céu. Não sei o que haverá lá mas posso sempre imaginar. Eu consigo fazer poemas com qualquer palavra que me dês. Tu escolhes, eu escrevo. Qualquer palavra. É a pura verdade. Algumas inspiram mais do que outras mas o truque é a ligação entre as coisas. Então podemos inverter os piores cenários em coisas bonitas. Só depende da maneira como encaramos o que temos. Como aqui

Nevermind (Alright)

I no longer remember exactly on what day I learned this. But at the time, I remember thinking that this English expression "Be cut from the same cloth" is proper of its own language because the expressions in their different languages gain a certain grace once translated, because it is not exactly a translation to the letter that can be made. It is to find an expression with the same meaning in another language so as we don't lose the meaning of those words. We could say "We are mass of the same cloud" and, we could also say that we were cakes in the same form. I like to think we're made of the same stuff. Especially now that I realize that there are so many different materials for the human genesis.



Já não sei exatamente em que dia aprendi isto. Mas na altura, lembro-me de ter pensado que esta expressão inglesa "Be cut from the same cloth" é própria desta linguagem porque as expressões nos seus idiomas diferentes ganham graça traduzidas, porque não é exatamente uma tradução à letra  que pode fazer-se. É encontrar uma expressão com o mesmo sigificado dentro de um outro idioma para não se perder o sentido daquelas palavras. Podiamos dizer "Somos massa da mesma nuvem" e, também se podia dizer que eramos bolos da mesma forma. Eu gosto de pensar que somos feitos da mesma matéria. Principalmente agora que percebo que existem tantas matérias diferentes.

Iron Sky

This is a hymn. And we should add nothing to a hymn. Just listen with the hope until the end of the year you could find another one like this.


We are proud individuals living on the city
But the flames couldn’t go much higher
We find gods and religions to
To paint us with salvation
But no one
No nobody
Can give you the power
To rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
Oh, that’s life
Left dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society
From which we’ll rise over love
Over hate
From this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
You just got to hold on!
You just got to hold on!
Oh oh oh oh

(To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us use that power!
Let us all unite!)

And we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear
And into freedom
Into freedom!
From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
Freedom!
Oh, from which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear and into freedom
Freedom!
Freedom!
Rain on me!
Rain on me!

Nuvole Bianche

Not precisely in the same compass. But if they asked me I would respond that we were on the same compass. I would respond without hesitation that it was tuned the word to be said. The day, that instant in time. Because there are several things I never had to say on my language, but I shall say in yours. Explosions of many new things everywhere and tuning.


Não precisamente no mesmo compasso. Mas se me perguntassem eu iria responder que estavamos no mesmo compasso. Responderia sem hesitar que era  tuned que se dizia. O dia, o instante no tempo. Porque há várias coisas que nunca precisei de dizer na minha língua, mas  que devo dizer na tua. Explosões de muitas coisas novas em todo o lado e sintonia.

Where Do I Even Start?

To think. Shouldn't be bad or silly. But the most natural thing. And what a challenge, team work can be. Someone will fix all these invalid arguments and bring new vibrant dreams. I feel the future in my veins. Already travelling in another country, inside this land of dust and heat full of promise. How colorful can life be. Rain is falling round the corner. And with so much rain, everything must be washed and cleaned.

Deep Water

From the side view, one could see the dark ball from within the eye, perfectly convex, as one can see from space our planet. And on the edge of the circle, a blue or green sea began. I still didn't really realize if that blue had green inside but I think that, if you want, you can always have green inside everything. So, in some ways, she also could be looking but just couldn't see.


De perfil, via-se a bola escura de dentro do olho, perfeitamente convexa, como se vê do espaço o nosso planeta. E, na berma do círculo, começava um mar azul ou verde. Ainda não percebi realmente se aquele azul trazia verde por dentro mas, eu acho que se quiseres, pode haver sempre verde dentro de todas as coisas. Nalguns aspetos, ela também olhava mas não conseguia ver.
