ÓDOVINHO!
"Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling: The Bird of Time has but a little way To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing." Omar Khayyam O vinho, ou tudo o que bebemos (recebemos) é algo pelo que temos de estar agradecidos. Tudo nos deve fazer feliz como o vinho que bebemos.

Ao Morrer
Estou só e só vou morrer
Mas no dia da minha morte
Ou quando isso acontecer
Quero morrer sentado....sei lá
Ou encostado a uma árvore,
Quiçá um chaparro
Ou uma velha oliveira
Torcida pela idade,
Como estarei nesse dia..
Na minha mão bem firme
Mas delicadamente
Quero ter um copo de vinho
Que não deve verter
No momento
Talvez só haja borra
Quero estar grato a Deus
Pelo vinho e pela água
Quero morrer amando tudo
Tudo, tudo o que Deus me deu
E deu a todos
E celebrando tudo isto
Quero morrer bebendo suavemente
Um último copo
De vinho,
Tinto.

El Último Trago
En El Ultimo Trago
Chavela Vargas, La Llorona
Tómate esta botella conmigo
En el último trago nos vamos
Quiero ver a qué sabe tu olvido
Sin poner en mis ojos tus manos
Esta noche no voy a rogarte
Esta noche te vas que de veras
Que difícil tener de olvidarte
Sin que sienta que ya no me quieras
Nada me han enseñado los años
Siempre caigo en los mismos errores
Otra vez a brindar con extraños
Y a llorar por los mismos dolores
Tómate esta botella conmigo
En el último trago me besas
Esperemos que no haya testigos
Por si acaso te diera vergüenza
Si algún día sin querer tropezamos
No te agaches ni me hables de frente
Simplemente la mano nos damos
Y después que murmure la gente
Nada me han enseñado los años
Siempre caigo en los errores
Otra vez a brindar con estraños
Y a llorar por los mismo dolores
Tómate esta botellita conmigo
Y en el último trago nos vamos

The last glass
This moon
shines on my glass
A slight
shade of redness
Its mirrors
its brightness and madness
It dives on
times past
if the moon
would fall
into this
dark wine of mine
my sins
would be clean or shine
and I would
go back to the ball
I want to
turn and turn and dance
Turn and
turn under the moon’s shade
Dance to
the words God’s romance
While I
still have a chance
Before my
head falls under the blade
I will not
seat I will not stand
I will not
stop I will not lie
Our legs
intertwine
I will
drink it all and refill it again
For all my
life is worth
The pain so
joyfully gained
I will
dance with a glass in my hand
And slide
on the spilt wine and mirth
I’m the
only lonely guest
There are
no tables and no chairs
The moon
rolls down to rest
Leaving
corpses without a care
It’s time
to go and lie down
To give a
rest to life and death
It’s time
to empty the glass
Before a
new life begins its dawn
And the
Lord pours out a new breath
To my grave
I’ll take the glass
Full to the
brim with wine
Finally
it’s time to relax
And listen
to the sins of mine
I’ll wait
for the dirt to cover me
I’ll offer
my body to worms
My water
will reach the sea
As God my
sentence confirms
My guitar
My guitar has
no cords
They have
long been worn out
I play it
with my soul
I play it
floating on a sea of tears
Long ago
poured down by a crying God
If this sea
would dry, no happiness would be left
No reality
to drink
No secrets
to hide
No wine to
bathe in
The notes
come and go
And the
melody scatters devils away
And angels surf
on them
Their sun
glasses shine with shades of waves
That break
into a foam of sins
I want to
play my guitar
And dive
into oblivion
And savour
God’s tears
And feel
His loneliness
At the end
Now, at the
end of a life
I look back
and I smile
I see many
friends
Who loved
me for who I was
I see many
lovers
Who loved
something else
I enjoyed
my life
I suffered
what I should
See my
cross, waiting
standing on hill worned out
I see the
nails ready
And their power is overwhelming
Before the
last step
A step to
somewhere,
I seat down
Facing it
all
This time
alone
No friends
No lovers
No one
Pick up my
glass
And sip
Sip the
wine to come
Am I ready?
I drink
some more
Am I ready?
The glass
is almost empty
Red wine
Red
How can I
cleanse myself on blood spilled?
I make sure
there is not one drop left
Nothing
must be left behind
I get up
And walk

Turn down that empty glass
Not far
away, not here not there
Where the
moon is black
Where the
stars just don’t care
for, seeing
you they draw back
There,
where you hide in the open
Discovered
by all
me here,
with my heart broken
hurt by a
love fall
grieving
daily, years alone
in this
desert tirelessly walking
from corner
to corner blown
here souls
don't open when knocking
where’s my
glass of wine
I’ll drink
to forget
This heavy
love of mine
That busy
day we met
I feel you
but You’re here no more
Bent over, I
pain in all places
But pain
doesn’t live in this heart of yours
And mine is
full of empty spaces
I turn down
the empty glass tonight
on jealousy
and anger drunk
Tears are
dry, gone in this plight
A love boat on the high seas sunk
