Amar é
aceitar a luz
no rosto do outro
e também a sua sombra
projetada no chão.

Love will cherish
the light
on the other person's face
and his shadow projected on the ground
as well.

Talvez a solidão
seja mesmo da natureza humana,
mas eu preciso
de outra sombra na parede
de mãos dadas com a minha,
eu preciso da ilusão da companhia,
eu não posso existir sozinha.

Loneliness may be
human nature,
but I really need
another shadow on the wall
holding hands with mine,
I need the illusion of company,
I cannot exist alone.

Ao leitor de rótulos:
quando estiver certo de ter encontrado
aquilo que procura,
passe ao conteúdo do frasco.

To the labels reader:
When you're certain of having discovered
what you're looking for,
proceed to the content of the bottle.

Gastam-se as sombras
na ausência
como
gastam-se as horas
e os olhares.


Quem vive
está sempre a
um passo
do abismo
e quem não vive,
já chegou lá embaixo.


Shadows are slowly worn away
in the absence of somebody
as well as
hours
and looks.


Those who live
are always one step closer
to the edge of the abyss,
and those who don't,
they know the bottom of it already.
