Pérolas 146

The selfish, they're all standing in line

Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

And the meanings, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, between the lines
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocence broken with lies
Significant between the lines
We may need to hide

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all diferent behind the eyes
There's no need to hide

Hey now, little speedyhead,
The read on the speedmeter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve.
Don't be shy. Your just deserve
Is only just light years to go.

Me, my thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon.
I have got to leave to find my way.
Watch the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.

The ocean is the river's goal,
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go.

I have got to find the river,
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away.
Leave the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.

There's no one left to take the lead,
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
Fall into the ocean.

The river to the ocean goes,
A fortune for the undertow.
None of this is going my way.
There is nothing left to throw
Of ginger, lemon, indigo,
Coriander stem and rose of hay.
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
All of this is coming your way.

…a abismal diferença entre um homem e treinador na verdadeira acepção da palavra e um grunho da Porcalhota, suposto “mestre da táctica”, que tem a mania de atirar bitaites…

Como é bom chegar aqui e sentir-me tricampeão... 
Como é bom chegar aqui de certezas absolutas que os títulos no Benfica são obra de uma nação e não de um homem só...
Como é bom chegar aqui, olhar pra trás e aperceber-me do quanto lutámos por isto, do quanto corremos por isto, do quanto desejamos isto mais do que alguma vez tínhamos desejado...
Como é bom chegar aqui e recordar a arrogância com que de nos falaram durante uma época inteira, mas em especial quando outros já pensavam que isto iam ser favas contadas...
Como é bom chegar aqui e poder mostrar que para nos derrotarem é preciso muito mais...
Cada um de nós chegou a acreditar quando os especialistas diziam que isto era impossível... mas cedo percebemos que do que estávamos a falar era do Sport Lisboa e Benfica… e quando falas do Benfica, o impossível vira possível e até a maior descrença vira numa crença sem fim...
Quanto mais dói no princípio, maior é o sorriso no final… e este, mais uma vez, foi assim… 

Tão assim...

Ela acreditava em Deus 
Ia ao domingo à igreja
E brindava ao mundo inteiro
Com um copo de cerveja

Tinha a cor do paraíso
No seu jeito de sorrir
E rezava avé maria
Ao que estava para vir

Ela tinha fé em Deus
Ela tinha fé em Deus
Ela tinha fé

Eu andava por aí
Como um tolo que não sente
Foi então que a conheci
E passei a ser um crente

Da poesia dos seus olhos
Bendita entre as mulheres
Que trazia a minha luz
Entre mil amanheceres

Ela tinha fé no amor
Ela tinha fé no amor
Ela tinha fé

Abençoámos os abraços
E tantos beijos trocados 
Na sagrada união 
Dos amantes encontrados

Depois de casar com ela
E beijá-la no altar
Acordámos em Paris
Para nunca mais voltar 

Se algum dia me perder
Nos caminhos do pecado
Sei que posso agradecer 
Tê-la sempre do meu lado

Não sei se acredito em Deus 
Não sei bem o que é o amor 
Sei que tenho os olhos seus
Que me guiam para onde eu for

Ela tinha fé em mim
Ela tinha fé em mim
Ela tinha fé

Well it's Saturday night

you're all dressed up in blue

I been watching you awhile

maybe you been watching me too

So somebody ran out

left somebody's heart in a mess

Well if you're looking for love

honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan

or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm

Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo

Well 'round here baby

I learned you get what you can get

So if you're rough enough for love

honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark

and it's a thin thin line

But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time

Maybe your other boyfriends

couldn't pass the test

Well if you're rough and ready for love

honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret

I've been around a time or two

Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too

Well there's another dance

all you gotta do is say yes

And if you're rough and ready for love

honey I'm tougher than the rest

If you're rough enough for love

baby I'm tougher than the rest

In “Tougher Than The Rest” – Bruce Springsteen

What if there was no light

Nothing wrong nothing right

What if there was no time

And no reason or rhyme

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong

And no poem or song

Could put right what I got wrong

Or make you feel I belong

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in your life

Oooh that's right

Let's take a breath jump over the side

Oooh let's try

How can you know it when you don't even try

Oooh that's right

Every step that you take

Could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break

That's the risk that you take

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there in your life

That you don't want me there by your side

Oooh that's right

Let's take a breath jump over the side

Oooh let's try

How can you know it when you don't even try

Oooh that's right

Oooh that’s right

Let's take a breath jump over the side

Oooh let's try

You know that darkness always turns into light

Oooh that's right

Este anúncio publicitário da Puma já tem, pelo menos, seis anos ...Mas o amor assim como o futebol são eternos...;) ...Nessa altura, foi lançado especialmente para o Dia dos Namorados... Trata-se de uma interpretação "diferente", por assim dizer, do tema "Truly Madly Deeply" dos Savage Garden, cantado por um grupo de adeptos britânicos (não lhe vou chamar hooligans, porque acredito não o serem neste caso)... O magnifico coro é composto por "supporters fans" do Tottenham Hotspurs (meu clube de adopção em Inglaterra) e o video foi gravado no The Beehive Bar, em Stoneleigh Road, Londres, cujo caloroso ambiente tive o privilégio de sentir há anos atrás... Acho que estão bem afinadinhos e quase consigo vislumbrar um sósia do Moby (...será mesmo ele...?...rsrsrs) do lado esquerdo deste estranho orfeão... ;)

David Bowie - ''Heroes''

(Live Acoustic - 20-10-1996 – Bridge School Benefit Concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, USA – ft. Reeves Gabrels on guitar and Gail Ann Dorsey on bass)

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be heroes, for ever and ever

What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

We can beat them, for ever and ever

Oh we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

And we kissed, as though nothing could fall

(Nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side

Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever

Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day
