Salvador Sobral & Júlio Resende - Regret (Alexander Search- FERNANDO PESSOA)

 Tão bonito....


"Numerosos são os exemplos de afinidade entre as obras que os pré-heterónimos possuíram e os textos que foram criando, um dos mais flagrantes sendo o poema «Regret», assinado por Search, proprietário de The Poetical Works of Lord Byron "

REGRET

I would that I were again a child

  And a child you sweet and pure,
That we might be free and wild
In our consciousness obscure;
That we might play fantastic games
 Under trees silent and shady,
That we might have fairy-book names,
I be a lord, you a lady.

And all were a strong ignorance
And a healthy want of thought,
And many a [prank?], many a dance
Our unresting feet had wrought;
And I would act well a clown's part
To your childish laughter winning,
And I would call you my sweetheart
  And the name would have no meaning.

Or sitting close we each other would move
With tales that now gone are sad;
We would have no sex, would feel no love,
Good without fighting the bad.
And a flower would be our life's delight
And a nutshell boat our treasure:
We would lock it in a cupboard at night
As in memory a pleasure.

We would spend hours and days like a wealth
Of goodness too great to cloy,
We would deep enjoy innocence and health
Knowing not we did enjoy...
Ah, what bitterest is is that-alone
Now one feeling in me I trace -
That knowledge of what from us hath gone
 And of what it left in its place.

Alexander Search ( Fernando Pessoa)
