Rubem Alves , O AMOR QUE ACENDE A LUA.

O que as pessoas mais desejam é alguém que as escute de maneira calma e tranquila. Em silêncio. Sem dar conselhos. Sem que digam: "Se eu fosse você". A gente ama não é a pessoa que fala bonito. É a pessoa que escuta bonito. A fala só é bonita quando ela nasce de uma longa e silenciosa escuta. É na escuta que o amor começa. E é na não-escuta que ele termina. Não aprendi isso nos livros. Aprendi prestando atenção.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home

Love can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier,
Remember that with every piece…

Sobre amizade. Olavo de Carvalho

"É preciso selecionar as pessoas que você quer que gostem de você. Não mais do que meia dúzia. Passou disso, você já está com sinais de carência afetiva. Se você não tem espírito de seleção, você não tem nobreza. Amigos são aqueles que amam as mesmas coisas que você." 

Olavo de Carvalho

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

“ Esteja alerta a cada segundo. Não permita que nada nem ninguém decida por você “

Reason

“Reason is no match for desire: when desire is purely and powerfully felt, it becomes a kind of reason of its own.”

A vida é muito bonita,

basta um beijo

e a delicada engrenagem movimenta-se,

uma necessidade cósmica nos protege.

Prece de Davi, Salmo 19

A maravilhosa prece de DAVI, SALMO 19

1. Ao mestre do canto, um salmo de David.

2. Os céus proclamam a glória de Deus e o firmamento atesta a obra de Suas mãos.

3. Um dia ao seguinte transmite esta mensagem; uma noite à outra a comunica.

4. Não é linguagem humana, não há palavras e som algum é percebido,

5. mas por toda a terra ressoa o que dizem, e a todos os confins chega Sua mensagem; para o sol assentou Deus nos céus uma tenda;

6. ele é como o noivo que sai da câmara nupcial, e como um herói ansioso para percorrer seu trajeto.

7. Parte de um extremo dos céus e atinge o outro, e nada escapa de seu calor.

8. A lei do Eterno é perfeita e reconforta a alma; verdadeiro é o testemunho do Eterno, que torna sábio o mais simples.

9. De absoluta retidão são os preceitos do Eterno e trazem alegria ao coração; límpido é o mandamento do Eterno, que ilumina os olhos.

10. Puro é o temor do Eterno e perdura para sempre; verdadeiros são os julgamentos do Eterno, todos igualmente justos.

11. São mais desejáveis que o ouro, que o ouro mais refinado; mais doces que o mel que se forma nos favos.

12. Teu servo se esmera em cumpri-los e sei que grande é a recompensa por sua observação.

13. Mas quem consegue discernir seus próprios erros? Purifica-me das faltas involuntárias que não percebo.

14. Preserva-me também dos pecados conscientes, para que não me dominem; serei então plenamente íntegro e estarei inocente de grandes transgressões.

15. Possam as palavras de minha boca e a prece de meu coração serem aceitas por Ti, ó Eterno, minha Rocha e meu Redentor.

"Como fica forte uma pessoa quando está segura de ser amada!"

Sigismund Schlomo Freud, médico neurologista judeu-austríaco, fundador da psicanálise, nascido em Freiberg (atualmente Příbor, pertencente à República Tcheca) no dia 6 de maio de 1856, morto em Londres no dia 23 de setembro de 1939, há 81 anos.

Pois de amor andamos todos precisados. Carlos Drummond de Andrade

"Pois de amor andamos todos precisados, em dose tal que nos alegre, nos reumanize, nos corrija, nos dê paciência e esperança, força, capacidade de entender, perdoar, ir para a frente. Amor que seja navio, casa, coisa cintilante, que nos vacine contra o feio, o errado, o triste, o mau, o absurdo e o mais que estamos vivendo ou presenciando."

Nathanael West, Miss Lonelyhearts/The Day of the Locust

“He smoked a cigarette, standing in the dark and listening to her undress. She made sea sounds; something flapped like a sail; there was the creak of ropes; then he heard the wave-against-a-wharf smack of rubber on flesh. Her call for him to hurry was a sea-moan, and when he lay beside her, she heaved, tidal, moon-driven.”

Wave - Vou te contar. Tom Jobim

Wave (Vou te contar)

João Gilberto

Vou te contar os olhos ja nao podem ver
Coisas que so o coracao pode entender
Fundamental e mesmo o amor, e impossivel ser feliz sozinho

O resto e mar, e tudo que eu nao sei contar
Sao coisas lindas que eu tenho pra te dar
Fundamental e mesmo o amor, e impossivel ser feliz sozinho

Da primeira vez era a cidade
Da segunda o cais a eternidade
Agora eu ja sei
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver

Wave (inglês)

Então feche seus olhos para o que é uma bela maneira de ser

Ciente de coisas que seu coração só era para ver

A solidão fundamental vai

Sempre que dois podem sonhar um sonho juntos

Você não pode negar

Não tente lutar contra o mar subindo

Não lute a lua as estrelas acima e não lutar contra mim

A solidão fundamental vai

Sempre que dois podem sonhar um sonho juntos

Quando eu vi pela primeira vez o tempo foi três e meia

Quando seus olhos encontraram os meus, foi a eternidade

Até agora sabemos que a onda está em sua maneira de ser

Basta pegar a onda, não tenha medo de me amar

A solidão fundamental vai

Sempre que dois podem sonhar um sonho juntos

Wave (inglês)

So close your eyes for that's a lovely way to be

Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see

The fundamental loneliness goes

Whenever two can dream a dream together

You can't deny

Don't try to fight the rising sea

Don't fight the moon the stars above and don't fight me

The fundamental loneliness goes

Whenever two can dream a dream together

When I saw you first the time was half past three

When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on its way to be

Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me

The fundamental loneliness goes

Whenever two can dream a dream together

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

Cold summer listening
Hot color melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said…

Love of my life & Bohemian Rhapsody 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEJOZkmIxU

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me

Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me

Obrigado

You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be…

I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love,…

 

I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqH7VwpSwBo

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of…

Strangers In The Night

Strangers in the night exchanging glances

Wondering in the night

What were the chances we'd be sharing love

Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,

Something in your smile was so exciting,

Something in my heart,

Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night

Two lonely people we were strangers in the night

Up to the moment

When we said our first hello.

Little did we know

Love was just a glance away,

A warm embracing dance away, and

Ever since that night we've been together.

Lovers at first sight, in love forever.

It turned out so right,

For strangers in the night.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people

We were strangers in the night

Up to the moment

When we said our first hello.

Little bit we know

Love was just a glance away,

A warm embracing dance away.

Ever since that night we've been together.

Lovers at first sight, in love forever.

It turned out so right,

For strangers in the night.

At Last · Etta James

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Ohh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

I know that we are young
And I know that you may love me
But I just can't be with you like this anymore
Alejandro

She's got both hands
In her pocket
And she won't look at you
Won't look at you
She hides true love
En su bolsillo
She got a halo around her finger
Around you

You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose

Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Stop, please
Just let me go Alejandro
Just let me go

Heart - Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin - Kennedy Center Honors HD

Stairway To Heaven

There's a lady who's sure all

that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And when she gets there she knows

if the stores are all close

With a word she can get what she came for

Oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall

but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes

words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook

there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our

thoughts are misgiving

Oh it makes me wonder

Oh it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get

when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen

rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

Oh it makes me wonder

Oh and it makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon

if we all called the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn

for those who stand long

And the forest will echo with laughter

Woe oh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring clean

for the May Queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

There's still time to change

the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Oh

Your head is humming

and it won't go

in case you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?

And did you know?

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

Oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
