Favourites: Se equivocó la paloma
The dove was wrong.
The dove was mistaken.
To travel north she flew south,
Believing the wheat was water.
Believing the sea was sky,
That the night was dawn.
That the stars were dew,
That the heat was snowfall.
Your skirt your blouse,
Your heart your home.
(She fell asleep on the shore,
You at the tip of a branch.)

Gypsy
Words tied together in a secure nautical knot
The same words I've spoken for most of my life
Different variations of those words brought people to tears,
the good kind of tears.
There was a time when people chose to come and listen to them
out of loneliness, maybe? Out of admiration, unlikely, but I
would like to think so.
At that time, I was far from invisible, in fact, I seemed to
be fluorescent
Rose petals were sprinkled over my yellow brick road
Loving and loved.
Off I went, across the gigantic pond
In search of a different kind of adventure and a new glow.
Silence.
Emptiness.
Bone-breaking cold.
There is so much one can say to keep on moving forward.
My mind felt sorry for me and decided to pull me inside my
cocoon.
For years I avoided people.
Invisible to my neighbours and forgotten by my tribe.
Tea for one, please.
One ticket, please.
A hug for one, please.
I've been quenched a long time ago.
I sit at the bottom of this unforgiving deserted hole
with no hope of seeing that glow again.
My biggest aspiration is to someday be pulled out of the
hole
just to speak what has been spared of the words I've known,
with what has remained of my tribe...and dissolve.

True story
I was talking to a girl and somehow in the conversation we talked about how I'll be fasting in Ramadan. She lit up and said "Oh, I also have a friend who fasts Ramadan too, that's so cool!". The sentence after that was the following, " I'm going to this wedding and you totally have to come help me pick a sari then!".
It took me some time to understand what she meant. Apparently, she thought that all Muslims wear saris like her Muslim (most probably Indian) friend and since I fast Ramadan, then I OBVIOUSLY know all about Indian attire.
My life is hard.

Favourites: Boa sorte by Vanessa da Mata and Ben Harper
É só isso
Não tem mais jeito
Acabou, boa sorte
Não tenho o que dizer
São só palavras
E o que eu sinto
Não mudará
Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado
Não há paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais
That's it
There's no way
It's over, good luck
I've nothing left to say
It's only words
And what l feel
Won't change
Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me
É demais / It's too much
É pesado / It's heavy
Não há paz / There is no peace
Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me
Irreais / Isn't real
Expectativas / Expectations
Desleais
Mesmo se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa
Que o aconselha
Há um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Há tantas pessoas especiais
Now even if you hold yourself
I want you to get cured
From this person
Who advises you
There is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many special
People in the world
So many special
People in the world
In the world
All you want
All you want
Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me
É demais / It's too much
É pesado / It's heavy
Não há paz / There's no peace
Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me
Irreais / Isn't real
Expectativas / That expectations
Desleais
Now we're falling
Falling, falling
Falling into the night
Into the night
Falling, falling, falling
Falling into the night
Now we're falling
Falling, falling
Falling into the night
Into the night
Falling, falling, falling
Falling into the night
