So Like Candy

(...)
Here lie the records that she scratched
And on the sleeve I find a note attached
And it's so like Candy
"My Darling Dear it's such a waste"
She couldn't say "goodbye", but "I admire your taste"
And it's so like Candy


"So Like Candy" (MacManus, McCartney)

História da Carochinha

(...)
I met a girl, she was a complete mess
I should've left her well alone (but oh no, not me)
I had to see if underneath that dress
her heart was really made of stone.

Discurso do Método

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!

Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.


Love's Secret, William Blake

Alegoria da Caverna

Dizem-me: És um homem das cavernas. Tens de cuidar-te mais. Pôr hidratante no rosto.
Acedo. Ponho o hidratante.
Instantaneamente, os olhos ardem-me. Dizem-me: Não podes pôr nos olhos. Só à volta. É forte demais.

Eu dei isto na escola.

A matter of taste

There are two types of women.
Those who expect you to lick their asses. And those who expect you to
lick their wounds.
I've always carried a taste for blood.

Ricochete

Y uno se cree
que las mató
el tiempo y la ausencia.
Pero su tren
vendió boleto
de ida y vuelta.
Son aquellas pequeñas cosas,
que nos dejó un tiempo de rosas
en un rincón,
en un papel
o en un cajón.

Como un ladrón
te acechan detrás de la puerta.
Te tienen tan
a su merced
como hojas muertas
que el viento arrastra allá o aquí...

Que te sonríen tristes y
nos hacen que
lloremos cuando
nadie nos ve.


Aquellas Pequeñas Cosas de Juan Mannuel Serrat
