Abismos

O abismo que construo ao meu redor
não tem intenção de ser
um poço para a morte de almas
que tentam se aproximar
Apenas preciso de proteção
preciso afastar os laços
que emaranham os sentimentos
em desilusão, decepção
Após cansar de esperar
desisti de tentar entender
e meus braços abertos
foram cerrados em escudo
cavaram bem fundo a trincheira
que me afasta
da dor de ter e perder
da dor de esperar e frustrar
da dor da eterna solidão.
Não quero mais elogios
não quero afagos
nem atenção
Já quis muito
agora não quero mais
Quero distância
e paz.

Here's to life

No complaints and no regrets.
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets.
But i have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got.
I had my share, i drank my fill, and even though i’m satisfied i’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again.
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams.
Funny how the time just flies.
How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you’ve memorized
To keep your winters warm.
There’s no yes in yesterday.
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away.
As long as i’m still in the game i want to play
For laughs, for life, for love.
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life, the dreamers and their dreams.
May all your storms be weathered,
And all that’s good get better.
Here’s to life, here’s to love, here’s to you.
May all your storms be weathered,
And all that's good get better.
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you.

(Shirley Horn)
