This post is for my grandfather who is dying

Band Hammerfal
Music:Glory To The Brave

Snow is falling down on this glorious land
Colours fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sing, they cry their winter tears
Endless mourning days will turn to years

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Every solemn moment I will treasure inside
Even though it's hard to understand
That a silent wind can blow the candle out
Taking everything leaving the pain far behind

You call out my name, but your voice is fading
Into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway ( so close )
Far beyond that shining star
I know you'll find what you've been fighting for
Far beyond that shining star

Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these Souls
Make'em live forever in the heart of the bold
So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again
When time has come to fall from grace

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away
Now

Nothing on earth stays forever
But none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
You're gone to the home of the brave

Urros e sussurros

Noites e mais noites Ao som de black ou de white Curtindo os urros e os  sussurros De Bathory ou os de Serge Gainsbourgo Uma saudade sedente por Minas Para que nunca saia do meu esquecimendo O delicioso toque das músicas Do clube da esquina,Milton Nascimento Nada cura perdas e danos Do que uma música deliciosa E  uma cabeça sempre ligada Cheia de planos -x-

"Folhas de outono" (Versão em portugues para "Somebody that i used to know")

Saio pela rua e procuro seus olhos São folhas de outono que insistem em secar Sem você é bem melhor pra mim Tenho  lembranças que não tem mais fim E as vezes me pego sozinho  a chorar De vez em quando eu saio com outras garotas Na esperança de amar,somente amar E quando meu o corpo pede mais É nestes dias que perco minha paz Nas mentiras de alguem que não me satisfaz E quando eu tento te esquecer O seu rosto me aparece como um fantasma E as vezes não tem saida E isso aperta minhas feridas, isso doi demais É tão dificil achar amor E acordo com o um extranha na minha cama Que não me deu o  coração Será que você foi minha unica paixão? 2° parte Me desculpe minhas palavras se tem magoado Tenho minhas dificuldades para lidar Temos que aceitar tudo que vem Pra no fim a gente ficar bem  Temos que fazer tudo que é certo  E a vida que nos segue garantirá o resto -x-

Little hearts made of clay

I opened the door Looking towards escape I went through the door Although it was too late Who is the keeper of the keys? The one who they always say He will show the way Things that I can see,do or may Little hearts made of clay I went through that door Today -x-
