Dia Mundial da Poesia

Hoje, dia 21 de Março, é o Dia Mundial da Poesia.

Como eu não sou poeta, e as únicas rimas que faço são acidentais - tirando as rimas que tentava fazer aos 10 anos, inspirada nos quadros lá de casa, com senhoras a vender laranjas (cesária-verdiana, indubitavelmente) ou as quadras que fazia para enfeitar os cravos de papel-creme que fazia para os manjericos - aqui fica um poema.

Um poema cantado. É uma música que estava a dar, agora mesmo, na rádio... Radar!

Faz-me lembrar o Ennis del Mar (Xu, agora já não é o "I love you, baby", é o Ennis del Mar)num filme de adolescência, mas não faz mal!

Digam lá se não põe qualquer pessoa bem disposta! ;)


Can't Take My Eyes Off You
by Frankie Valli

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..


AH! E na cover da Lauryn Hill? Parece que, agora na moda, é a cover dos Muse. Whatever! É uma boa música!
