Clarice Lispector - Das vantagens de ser bobo dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre
On the advantages of being silly
The silly person, by not being occupied with ambitions, has time to see, to hear to touch in the world.
The silly person is capable of remaining seated for two hours hardly moving.
If asked why they don't do something, they respond: 'I am doing, I am thinking.'
Being a silly person sometimes offers an escape world because the clever people only remember to escape through means of their cleverness, and the silly person has originality, ideas spontaneously come to them.
The silly person has the opportunity to see things that the clever people don't see. The clever people are always so attentive to the other acts of cleverness that they relax in front of the silly people, and these people see them as simple human beings.
The silly person gains utility and wisdom to live. The silly person seems to never have had a turn. However, many times, the silly person is a Dostoievski.
There are disadvantages too, obviously. A silly woman, for example, trusted in the word of an unknown man to by a second-hand air conditioner: he said that the contraption was new, practically unused because he was moving to Gavea where it was chillier. Then goes the silly woman and buys the appliance without even seeing it. Result: it doesn't work. She calls a repairman, whose opinion was that the apparatus was so mangled that the fix would be really expensive: it makes more sense just to buy another one. But, on the other hand, the advantage of being a silly person is having good faith, to never lose trust, and thus to be calm. Meanwhile the clever person doesn't sleep at night with fear of being conned.
The clever person triumphs with an ulcer in their stomach. The silly person doesn't perceive that this clever person won. Caution: don't confuse silly people with stupid people.
Disadvantage: they can receive a stab in the back from whom they least suspect.
It is one of the many sorrows that the silly person cannot predict. Caesar finished saying the famous phrase: 'Et tu, Brute?'
The silly person doesn't protest. In compensation, how they exclaim!
The silly people, with all of their clownery, should all be in heaven.
If Christ had been clever he wouldn't have died on the cross.
The silly person is always so sympathetic that there are clever people who pretend to be silly people. The clever people win from other people. In compensation, the silly people win life.
Blessed are the silly people because they know without anyone distrusting them. Moreover, it doesn't matter to them if others know what they know.
There are places that facilitate more the existence of silly people (don't confuse the silly person with the stupid person, with the fool, or with the frivolous person). Minas Gerais, for example, facilitates the existence of silly people. Ah, how many lose by not being born in Minas Gerais! The silly person is Chagall, who puts the cow in space, flying atop the houses. It's nearly impossibly to avoid the excess of love that the silly person provokes. It's that only the silly person is capable of excess love. And only love makes up the silly person.

Chrysanthemum
(ydn.)
Mom, I tried.
Mom, I tried.
Yes, you did.
Mom, I tried.
(Nimeni Altu`)
Art is a flower destined to die in order to better understand humanity,
the beauty of life, and happiness, and this has been my pursuit.
Art soothes our pain, it makes us laugh, it makes us cry.
Art awakens pleasure, it's both therapy and the fear we overcome.
An express train carriage where the soul's expression always prevails.
Art heals the spirit, in the darkness, it's the light of the air.
Art makes you better, it's an exchange of knowledge and reflections on life, a recognition of creation, in fact, everything that poets recite.
Art is the last drop of water for a society in the desert, and for humanity, it remains its only testament.
Art is the freedom we had when we were children and played, we were poor and smiled, creating something from the little we had.
Art is the treasure box of the Earth, it's freedom for a prisoner, it's sight for the blind and a voice for the mute.
Art is sound for the deaf.
Art is the treasure of the soul that remains through time, beyond space.
Art is an older photograph of an entire generation.
(ydn.)
You smile sadly in pictures now, a silent shadow in flowers made of ash.
Give me long nights to dream of us, getting drunk with Mayflowers,
For I wish you would listen to what I sing now, it's all you carry along life's path, it's all that hurts when you can't sleep, it's the chrysanthemum in my hair.
I wish I could fly through clouds of longing to embrace you when everything is empty, and we could paint faces in the rain. I wish we wouldn’t forget about us.
About us,
About us,
About us,
Together...

Mr. Gershwin
In my grandfather's attic
I found a Fred Astaire record
From the time when the streets of Broadway
Were dancing
All the old mechanical toys suddenly awakened by this music
Then jumped out their cardboard boxes
In one bound
And all around me
With cries of joy
They sang together
In the middle of the attic which lit up
Mr. Gershwin, we want to join the dance
Mr. Gershwin, we want to try our luck
Mr. Gershwin, when you're at the piano
It's so easy to keep the tempo
Mr. Gershwin, you know how much we love you
Mr. Gershwin, you left the stage
But your music is our favorite
And we want to dance like Fred Astaire
Our grandfathers didn't have
A TV to entertain themselves
But back then, all the Broadway theaters
Were singing
Some were doing tap dancing
Others were playing the trumpet
And you were writing the Rhapsody in Blue
For us
It was the time of swing
And Charlie Chaplin
But we, to show you
That even in this attic you're not forgotten...
Mr. Gershwin, we want to join the dance
Mr. Gershwin, we want to try our luck
Mr. Gershwin, when you're at the piano
It's so easy to keep the tempo
Mr. Gershwin, you know how much we love you
Mr. Gershwin, you left the stage
But your music is our favorite
And we want to dance like Fred Astaire
Mr. Gershwin, we want to join the dance
Mr. Gershwin, we want to try our luck
Mr. Gershwin, when you're at the piano
It's so easy to keep the tempo
Mr. Gershwin, you know how much we love you
Mr. Gershwin, you left the stage
But your music is our favorite
And we want to dance like Fred Astaire

In Vain
Why didn't I say anything?
I know it's my fault, but I'm just too much of a coward
I can handle myself
Why didn't I dare to say it?
We were just friends, but I was hoping for something more
I know I have made it difficult
Because I have never said anything
I'm holding onto a little hope
But I can't say it now
You said it was too late
And I know that
But was everything we had in vain?
I know that it was wrong
And you can see it
But was everything we had in vain?
Oh, come on
As if I didn't feel anything for you
You've never showed that you want to be with me
No, no
Oh, once again
Have I hit my head first and sacrificed you?
There was no way we were going to happen
No, no, no
You have made it difficult
Because you have never said anything
Oh, only once I have moved on
That's when you're standing here in the same place
You said it was too late
And I know that
But was everything we had in vain?
Yes, it's too late
And expected
It goes without saying until I let go
You said it was too late
And I know that
But was everything we had in vain?
I know that it was wrong
And you can see it
But was everything we had in vain?
Was it in vain, was it in vain?
Was it in vain, was it in vain?
Was it in vain, was it in vain?
Was it in vain, was it in vain?

Going even further (Reprise)
Going even further
And sailing by your side
To discover in the morning
Beaches yet to be explored
Then going even further
Being able to start all over again
Under the horizon, at eternity's reflection
All together, we can, we want to,
we will go even further
