Aprendê-lo de ouvido.

Traçar a tua silhueta no ar
no lugar que costumava ocupar
à mesa.

Seguir as coordenadas 
na tua voz
e sabê-lo 
perto da janela.

Identificar os teus pontos cegos
enquanto se move pelo quarto

tropeçando em si mesmo,
engolindo palavras que gostaria de
ter sabido,
respirando afastamento.


of learning you
by hearing

of tracing your silhouette
in the air
on the place you used to occupy
across from me at the table

to follow the coordinates
on your voice
and find you near the window

discover your blind spots on the sound
of you moving around
the bedroom

stumbling yourself
munching words I'd like to have heard
breathing separation.

Eu tentei muito 
ficar tão perto de você
que o som do teu coração
substituísse o ruído abafado do meu.
Minha alma precisou do teu conforto.

I tried hard
to be very close to you
so the sound of your heart
replaced the muffled noise of mine.
My soul really needed your comforting half.

cuidado para não empurrar-me
para tão longe
que o torne impossível
trazer-me para perto novamente.

You'd better make sure
not to push me so far
you can't bring me 
close again.

On war remains

Reason and heart
started the day battling each other.

What if I can't
carry the remains home?

Turning point

I'm afraid you'll soon discover
I'm no Lionheart.

I have lost many battles.

I'm losing one right now.

Losing sleep

Last night
I lost sleep
and the dream
which connected me
to you.
