How do I love thee? (Tradução em baixo)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning]

Tradução de Manuel Bandeira:
Amo-te quando em largo, alto e profundo
Minha alma alcança quando, transportada
Sente, alongando os olhos deste mundo
Os fins do ser, a graça entressonhada.

Amo-te em cada dia, hora e segundo:
à luz do sol, na noite sossegada.
E é tão pura a paixão de que me inundo
Quanto o pudor dos que não podem nada.

Amo-te com o doer das velhas penas,
Com sorrisos, com lágrimas de prece,
e a fé da minha infância, ingênua e forte.

Amo-te até nas coisas mais pequenas.
Por toda a vida. E assim Deus o quisesse,
Ainda mais te amarei depois da morte.

Can't Fight The Moonlight - LeAnn Rimes

Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And noone's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It'll steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love
Once a gentle breeze
Weaves it's spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
Til your in my arms
Underneath the starlight - starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm - so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you

Don't try then
You're never gonna win

Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
Don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

LYRICS:

Spoken:
I need time, (time)
(Love)
Joy
(Joy)
I need space
(Love)
I need me
(Action)

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say what a girl is to do?
God need some answers

What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell them what I like
What I want
And what I don't
But everytime I do
I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world
I realize I'm o-o-verprotected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say what a girl is to do?
God I need some answers

What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so o-verprotected

I need time
Love
I need space (this is it this is it)

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I want what what I'm gonna (I need)
Do about my destiny
I say (no no)
Nobody's tellin me just what i wanna (do do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be-e
Someone else but me

(action)
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody telling me just what i wanna
What i want, what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I say (no no)
Nobody's tellin me just what i wanna (do do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be-e
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life?
(You'll find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so o-verprotected

Just So You Know - Jesse McCartney

I shouldn't love you but I want you

I just can't turn away

I shouldn't see you but I can't move

I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want you

I just can't turn away

I shouldn't see you but I can't move

I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not

'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know

This feeling's taking control of me

And I can't help it

I won't sit around, I can't let him win now

Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go of you

But I don't want to

I just gotta say it all

Before I go

Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you

There's so much I can't say

Do you want me to hide the feelings

And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not

'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

This emptiness is killing me

And I'm wondering why I've waited so long

Looking back I realize

It was always there just never spoken

I'm waiting here...been waiting here

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

Too Lost In You - Sugababes

You look into my eyes

I go out of my mind

I can't see anything

Cos this love's got me blind

I can't help myself

I can't break the spell

I can't even try

I'm in over my head

You got under my skin

I got no strength at all

In the state that I'm in

And my knees are weak

And my mouth can't speak

Fell too far this time

Baby, I'm too lost in you

Caught in you

Lost in everything about you

So deep, I can't sleep

I can't think

I just think about the things that you do (you do)

I'm too lost in you (Too lost in you) ooh

Well you whispered to me

And I shiver inside

You undo me and move me

In ways undefined

And you're all I see

And you're all I need

Help me baby (help me baby)

Help me baby (help me now)

Cos I'm slipping away

Like the sand to the tide

Flowing into your arms

Falling into your eyes

If you get too near

I might disappear

I might lose my mind oooh

Baby, I'm too lost in you

Caught in you

Lost in everything about you

So deep, I can't sleep

I can't think

I just think about the things that you do (you do)

I'm too lost in you (Too lost in you)

I'm going crazy in love for you baby (I can't eat and I can't sleep)

I'm going down like a stone in the sea

Yeah, no one can rescue me (No one can rescue me)

ooh oooohOooh, my babyOooh, baby, baby, baby

Baby, I'm too lost in you

Caught in you

Lost in everything about you

So deep, I can't sleep

I can't think

I just think about the things that you do (you do)

I'm too lost in you (too lost in you)

I'm lost in you

I'm lost in you

I'm lost in everything about you

So deep (so deep),

I can't sleep (no,no,no)

I can't think

I just think about the things that you do (you do)

I'm too lost in you (Too lost in you)

Acho que estou a enlouquecer de vez...! Sinto-me muitíssimo perdida... Nem quero admitir o que tenho medo que seja verdade! Não, não pode ser verdade! Eu não sou tão louca a esse ponto!

You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

"Tudo bem?"

Olá! Cheguei, de novo!

Está tudo bem?

Estranho como, hoje em dia, todos respondem "Sim, obrigado, e contigo?", havendo logo a resposta do costume "Também, obrigado!"Às vezes, todos se apercebem da ironia do nosso "Sim, obrigado", ou não? Até nós nos sentimos, por vezes, envergonhados por mentirmos assim, de maneira tão fria. Nunca vos aconteceu? A mim, já...

Às vezes fico a pensar... o que aconteceria, se eu dissesse "Não, não estou muito bem...", mesmo que fosse acompanhado por um sorriso? Talvez só encolhessem os ombros e, finalmente respondessem "Nem eu". Ou talvez dessem um pouco mais de atenção ao que acabámos de dizer. Afinal... Alguém que diz o que pensa, sem estar com pormenores cívicos... merece respeito pela sua admirável coragem!

Por outro lado, se nos levassem a mal, estaríamos condenados a um "Teve logo que dizer que as coisas não vão bem!". E aí? O que é que se pode fazer? Não há quem nos compreenda de verdade, neste mundo. Nem mesmo aqueles que se dignam a chamar-se de «nossos amigos», às vezes compreendem o quanto precisamos de desabafar!Apetece odiar, não é? Apetece esquecer que o mundo existe e ficar, para sempre, debaixo de um cobertor com cinco quilos para que não se lembrem mais que existimos!

As viagens de transportes públicos, por exemplo. Lembro-me de já ter falado nisso... Tantas caras, tantas expressões... Esperem! Não há expressões nas caras da pessoas, quando viajam de transportes públicos! É como se estivessem sós no meio de tanta gente... "é como"? Não estamos todos sós quando viajamos de autocarro? Talvez levamos companhia, alguém que vai para o mesmo sítio que nós... E então? Tão poucas pessoas são capazes de manter uma conversa nos transportes públicos! É como se houvesse um filtro de emoções à entrada!

Mas, quando há quem fuja a esse filtro e ria ou chore, todos os outros acham que endoideceu!

Lembro-me de irmos de comboio, eu, a Sara, a Ana e a Margarida. As últimas duas estavam literalmente na paródia! Havia, até, perto de nós, um rapaz que ria de tudo o que elas diziam. Parece que elas deram cabo do filtro de emoções, nessa viajem, para algumas pessoas que nos rodeavam! Quando penso nisso, lembro-me de dizer que "Os transportes públicos já são melancólicos por si só, não há mal nenhum em alegrar o ambiente!"

Mas, e se precisas de ajuda? E se queres que te estendam a mão e digam "Podes falar, eu também tenho problemas e sei o que estás a sentir. Hoje, vou esquecer o que me preocupa e estender-te a mão."? Pois é, quantos de nós não pensam que «os outros» podiam ser assim? E nós? Que fazemos nós para que «os outros» não pensem isso de nós?

O ser-humano é egoísta, não é novidade! E todo o ser-humano tem problemas! Mas... que tal deixarmos esses problemas de lado e... não sei... ajudar «os outros», para que «os outros» possam, mais tarde, ajudar-nos a nós?Vamos todos pensar no assunto, vamos?

Para todos esses problemas que te rodeiam, só posso dizer uma coisa:
