Au Revoir Simone e Ricardo Reis

Hurricanes, Au Revoir Simone

In a world of make-believe
Talks a lot, but can't you see
It means more to you than me

Think before you speculate
Take the fear that you create
Don't assume we're so afraid of them

And you say na na na...

If you stop and disappear
Doesn't sound I watch you here
When dreaming takes you where you want to be
Don't follow the status quo
Picture where you'd like to go
Take your time but always know you're there

This message is for all the people
That people who are always waiting

*

Nos altos ramos de árvores frondosas
O vento faz um rumor frio e alto,
Nesta floresta, em este som me perco
E sozinho medito.

Assim no mundo, acima do que sinto,
Um vento faz a vida, e a deixa, e a toma,
E nada tem sentido - nem a alma
Com que penso sozinho.

26-04-1298, Odes de Ricardo Reis
