A gente vai falando para passar o tempo, ou para não deixar que ele passe, é um modo de pôr-lhe a mão no peito e dizer, ou suplicar, Não andes, não te movas, se dás esse passo pisas-me, que mal é que eu te fiz. É também como baixar-me, pôr a mão na terra e dizer-lhe, Pára, não gires, ainda quero ver o sol.

Jacinta - My baby just cares for me (Nina Simone cover)

.

(…) partir!
nunca voltarei,
nunca voltarei porque nunca se volta.
O lugar a que se volta é sempre outro,
a gare a que se volta é outra.
Já não está a mesma gente, nem a mesma luz, nem a mesma filosofia (…)

Álvaro de Campos

Just let go

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’ll never live it twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin’ stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

...
Today I didn't even try to hide
I'll stay here and never push things to the side
You can't reach me cause I'm way beyond you today...
