Sombras

Na minha mente a vejo a tua sombra
as palavras sussurrando nos meus ouvidos
promessas, suspiros amorosos
de há muito

Verdes olhos de paixão
despindo a minha al esperando
que me mostres todo o teu amor
Teu coração cheio de penas
confrontando o mal
curar é o amanhã
quando encontrares o meu amor
A tua sombra visitou-me esta noite
abraçando-me o corpo e alma
fortalecendo com a minha luz
Este é o meu amor por ti

Visiting Me!


Your shadow visiting my mind
of words re sounding in my ears
of promises, loving sights
that have lasted for years

Green eyes full of passion
un dressing my eager soul
waiting for you to take action
showing me all your love

Your Heart full of sorrows
facing the evil of souls
healing is in the tomorows
when you encounter my love

Your Shadow visit me tonight
embracing my body and soul
strengtening with my light
these for you is my love


Destino

Cruel destino infiel
con sus llamas consume
el amante que es fiel
en su despiadad esfume

Abusa de la esperanza
que el amor posterga
con sus bellas estanzas
de las que se mofa y venga

Castiga la caridad
arma de las amantes
que con su amor dan
la vida por su amante

Destino cruel infortunio
de los inocentes en el amor
destrozados por tu diluvio
de mentiras, muerte y dolor

Pero ya vendra otro junio
otro verano de amor
donde tu infortunio
se esfumera de mi corazon

Los Rosales

Los rosales tristes y sombrios
esperan el invierno cruel
en el oscurecer hay brios
de otro triste anochecer

Los petalos vuelan en los vientos
del otono que pudren en su llover
mientras seca sus simientos
el inaplacable frio del atardecer

Los rosales mustios y sombrios
dejan sus gajos al suelo caer
mientras el amor en su estravio
envejece al corazon en su correr

El tronco ya cansado por los anos
vera que sus hojas volaran
como los amores de antanos
que se fueron y no volveran

Loving the Love



Loving the Love that you bring to my life
in this special joyful Christmas night
when our hearts had smile and sight
sharing our minds in the Christmas time

Loving your warmth and bright star
that always guide me in the dark
celebrating in silence feeling a mark
of loving the love we have start

Loving your wonderful sincere heart
In this joyful Christmas night
I go singing jumping and tipping my hat
loving our love in this Christmas time.

Thanksgiven


Thanksgiven is almost here
appreciating our lives
having things lacking last year
given thanks to god that night

Thanksgiven a day for praying
to glorify our Most High
which daily does provide
with faith love and light

In the dinner we celebrate
the glory of the most high
hoping that next year stay
another thanksgiving night



a mi lado

Con alegres ofrendas de amor
fui a tu encuentro un dia
llena de lus y de sol
para unir tu alma con la mia

Las sombras agachadas me seguian
a un encuentro que nunca ocurrio
triste y sola estaba el alma mia
cuando el regreso a casa ocurrio


Pasaron tiempos de angustia
en espera de tu calor
siempre fiel aunque mustias
rendida por tu amor

Corristes angustiado y triste
ofreciste un compromiso de amor
que algun dia se realise?
eso solo lo sabes tu razon

Mientras siento en tu vivir
la angustia y el dolor
de no poderte sentir
a mi lado corazon

Mystical Season

Bells are ringing in town
with tones of the Holidays

I love this season and sounds
of the "Salvation Army" ways

The street are brighter tonight
the jingle bells happily are heard

The snow is falling in this night
light mantle of a heavenly veil

The children are eagerly writing
to Santa their cherish dreams

To have the most desire toy
in the awaited Christmas Eve

Mystical is this season ways
full of expectations and dreams




The Last month of the year

Is the last month of the year
full of joyful holidays cheers
Hugs and Kisses my dear
as Christmas is very near

Celebrating once a year
giving glory that day to God
for drying our mortal tears
with His Prodigy son of Gold

The Pine Tree is lighted
full of golden shinning balls
waiting for the enlighten night
that our saviour was born

Loving thy neighbors as yourself
is the call of these Christmas days
Charity and Love in the holidays
glorifies Jesus Holy Name!


Conscience smitten

I Was Overlooking Shadows
While Standing This Night
They Were Growing As Giants
Reflected On The Candle Light

Shaped As Furious Lions
Ready To Kill In The Attack
The Shadow Envelop Mankind
Sad Was Men with hunger And Lack

The Rich Went On Getting Richer
Without Hearing Or Understand
That In The Game We Need A Pitcher
And They May Be Chosen To Stand

In The Light That I Was Standing
I Saw The Shadows Leaving
When The Sun Shine Came Brightly
With The Son Of God To Leading

I Saw His Followers Un Dressing
From Selfishness And Greed
Sharing The Daily Blessings
With Those That Were In Need

I Saw Envy Been In Flame Burning
In The Acceptance Of Thy Brother
Jealousy Was Also Melting
With The Sharing Of One Another

From That Light That Appear
I Saw At A New World To Emerge
Where hunger And Lack Disappear
From The Face Of The Earth
