None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boudless arch I see
Spread out above me
O(h) What a distance dear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can konw my sadness ~ Goethe ~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the blue summer evening, I shall go down the paths,
Getting pricked by the corn, crushing the short grass:
In a dream I shall feel its coolness on my feet.
I shall let the wind bathe my bare head.

I shall not speak, I shall not think about nothing:
But endless love will mount in my soul;
And I shall travel far, very far, like a gipsy,
Through the countryside as happy as if I were with a woman.
~ Arthur Rimbaud ~

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Ye offspring of the morning sun,
Ye flowers that deck the smiling plain,
Your lives, in joy and bliss begun,
In Nature's love unchanged remain.
With hues of bright and godlike splendor
Sweet Flora graced your forms so tender,
And clothed ye in a garb of light;
Spring's lovely children weep forever,
For living souls she gave ye never,
And ye must dwell in endless night?

The nightingale and lark still sing
In your tranced ears the bliss of love;
The toying sylphs, on airy wing,
Around your fragrant bosoms rove,
Of yore, Dione's daughter [6] twining
In garlands sweet your cup-so shining,
A pillow formed where love might rest!
Spring's gentle children, mourn forever,
The joys of love she gave ye never,
Ne'er let ye know that feeling blest!

But when ye're gathered by my hand,
A token of my love to be,
Now that her mother's harsh command
From Nanny's [7] sight has banished me--
E'en from that passing touch ye borrow
Those heralds mute of pleasing sorrow,
Life, language, hearts and souls divine;
And to your silent leaves 'tis given,
By Him who mightiest is in heaven,
His glorious Godhead to enshrine.

(Friedrich von Schiller)

Saí para ver o luar
Pensando poder te encontrar
Contei as mais lindas estrelas
Pensando te achar entre elas
Só fui perceber pelo fim
Que estavas bem dentro de mim

Nas asas do vento voei
Nas ondas do mar naveguei
E quanto mais eu navegava
Só fui perceber pelo fim
Que estavas bem dentro de mim

Depois eu compus a canção
Que fala de paz e união
E cada palavra que escrevo
Não sei se consigo ou se devo
Dizer-te que dentro de mim
és uma presença sem fim
