When I look at the world!
(...)"The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile"(...)

"You’re packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom
Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can’t deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it
Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight"

Estimulado pelas últimas linhas deste poema lembrei-me desse outro de Lord Byron, dito um dos mais belos da língua Inglesa, que tem uma linda tradução de Sophia:
SO, we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.
Para quem não se contente em lê-lo, e queira "ouvi-lo", recomendo vivamente o último album de Leonard Cohen, "Dear Heather" que, além de ser todo óptimo, também inclui uma versão deste poema que... melhor será ouvi-la!...
