à cautela
e talvez para evitar o que aconteceu ao
decorador de interiores, que agora sabemos ter enlouquecido por se
ter perdido no deserto, a primeira coisa que fiz ao chegar a
veneza foi transmutar-me em gôndola.

i couldn't find quiet and i went out in the rain
i was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
i didn't understand then, i don't understand now
am i the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair
drinking pink rabbits?
and everybody was gone
you were standin' in the street 'cause you were tryin' not
to crack up
it wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea
i didn't ask for this pain it just came over me
i love a storm, but i don't love lightning
all the waters coming up so fast, that's frightening
am i the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair
drinking pink rabbits?
and everybody was gone
i was standing in the street 'cause i was trying not to crack
i was solid gold, i was in the fight
i was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
i couldn't see you coming so far
i just turn around and there you are
i'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
i was just getting used to living life without you around
i'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
you always said i held you way too high off the ground
you didn't see me i was falling apart
i was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
you didn't see me i was falling apart
i was a television version of a person with a broken heart
and everybody was gone
you were standin' in the street 'cause you were trying not to crack up
and bona drag was still on
now i only think about los angeles when the sun kicks out
you said it would be painless
the needle in the doll
you said it would be painless
it wasn't that at all

Anche tu sei l’amore.
Sei di sangue e di terra
come gli altri. Cammini
come chi non si stacca
dalla porta di casa.
Guardi come chi attende
e non vede. Sei terra
che dolora e che tace.
Hai sussulti e stanchezze,
hai parole – cammini
in attesa. L’amore
è il tuo sangue – non altro.
Cesare Pavese

ainda hoje se mantém em aberto a questão de uma possível cópia de "hotel california", a célebre canção dos eagles, em relação a este original, gravado uns bons oito anos antes. é óbvio que a sequência de acordes (a famosa "chord progression", tão invocada em casos de plágio) apresenta semelhanças, mas a melodia é inegavelmente distinta. de qualquer modo, polémicas à parte, recordo aqui "we used to know", a canção que me fez gostar de ian anderson e dos jethro tull.

a casa a água anda em volta
alguém semeia uma pedra em cima da mesa
onde o pão derradeiramente floresce
alguém sabe que
todo o lugar se cria por desproporção elementar
dos seus elementos
uma paisagem que se nutre
da ausência mesma do seu próprio nome
(como o amor)

mês sete
o verão com todas as suas garras
entra pelas janelas
instala-se nas casas
senta-se em todos os sofás
estira-se
come à nossa mesa
por vezes estremece
fecha os olhos
sorve o palmilhar árido
pousa a cabeça
a mão pensativando
no cotovelo
olha o infinito
o verão é uma mulher
a caminhar na areia
os pés na água turva
essa dificuldade em soletrar

you look so good when you're depressed
better even in your current state of undress
tears caressing me like rain
and i'm not even thinking, i feel fine in your pain
the coolest thing i ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
you looked at me to say don't guess
i was only watching, yes i love you more undressed
is it really such a sin?
should i feel some kind of shame?
will i truly go to hell?
oh you never lock the bathroom door
should i be embarrassed when i've seen a hundred times before
how do married couples cope
should i say excuse me darling, i don't know
we could disconnect the telephone
just sit around and mess around
and tell your ma we went to rome, tennessee
and i'm not even drinking, i feel fine, it's scary
is it really such a sin?
should i feel some kind of shame?
will i truly go to hell?
oh well
the coolest thing i ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
you looked at me to say don't guess
i was only watching, is it bad that i should love you best
