És o meu desejo

És o meu desejo

O meu sonho por concretizar

Não sei quando te vejo

Sei que te vou encontrar.

Por vezes olho em volta

Ficam confusos os meus sentidos

Logo o meu estômago se revolta

São apenas olhares iludidos.

Quando quero falar contigo

Olho simplesmente para o céu

Sinto que estas comigo

O teu coração está com o meu.

És um sonho real

Tão verdadeiro como a vida

Sei que és especial

E eu sou a tua escolhida.

Nonô (M.ª Leonor Costa)

You are my wish

You are my wish

My dream to come true

I do not know when I see you

I know I will find you.

Sometimes I look around

My senses are confused

Soon my stomach revolts

They are just deluded looks.

When I want to talk to you

I simply look at the sky

I feel you are with me

Your heart is with mine.

You are a real dream

As true as life

I know you are special

And I am your chosen one.

The parties will end

The parties will end

Only kings are missing

They are magicians, they bring gifts.

January's freezing cold follows

That makes you want to hibernate

And grit your teeth.

The parties are over

The pine tree, the crib,

And the ornaments, let's save.

It all happened so fast

Santa Claus came down the chimney

I could not hug him.

For the year there is more

Other parties will come

Come on do not be sad

I want to see you smile.

They are just ornaments

The party goes on

Soon you will be free again

You can go out and play on the street.

Nonô (M.ª Leonor Costa)

As festas vão terminar

As festas vão terminar

Já só faltam os reis

São magos, trazem presentes.

Segue-se o frio gelado de janeiro

Que dá vontade de hibernar

E ranger os dentes.

Terminaram as festas

O pinheiro, o presépio,

E os enfeites, vamos guardar.

Passou tudo tão rápido

O pai Natal desceu da chaminé

Não o pude abraçar.

Para o ano, há mais

Outras festas hão de vir

Vá lá não fiques triste

Quero ver-te sorrir.

São apenas enfeites

A festa continua

Logo voltas a ser livre

Podes ir brincar na rua.

This poem is not mine

New Year, but not new life - AGUSTINA BESSA-LUÍS

(15/10/1922- 3/06/2019)

New Year, but not new life. Who thinks of being more credulous if they are afraid of being deceived? If the world is one of mistakes, why not let them make fun of us? Nobody wants to be silly, and it is worse: because in order not to be deceived, you dishonor yourself as a person of gentleness and sincerity. There are more cowards to be deceived than to go to war. When the simple are, after all, the most powerful and who gives in, wins. 

Dialogue between Poems

 New Year, life goes on – Nonô (15/08/1975)

New Year, life goes on. Everyone expects a miracle cure for a pandemic. We are not afraid of being deceived; our eyes are turned to hope. A breath of fresh air that allows us to stop walking in masks. A good dose of illusion has never hurt anyone. Simplicity is undoubtedly a good way to lead this life. As for winners or losers? The truth is that none of us leave here alive ...
