Sweet Water
Paula Fernandes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So clear, so pure
Where all my dreams begin.
Sweet water - dark water of the river
Take away my sorrows, my soul deliver.
Sweet water - water, waterfall
Sweet water - water of the lake
So quiet, so deep
There's a lady there for you to meet.
Sweet water - water of the rain
Carry away the bad thoughts
And is lost - make me sane.
Sweet water - water of the desert
I will find you hidden well
And drink from you forever.
Sweet water - water of the sea
Dolphins, whales and mermaids
Sing your song to me.

Relembro aqui os versos de Ovídio
( Século I a.C. - Século I d.C. ) que, na verdade é o começo de um verso dele:
"GUTTA CAVAT LAPIDEM NON VI
SED SAEPE CADENDO."
Traduzindo :
" A GOTA ESCAVA A PEDRA NÃO PELA FORÇA MAS CAINDO SEMPRE."
Do Sentido Igual ao Nosso Ditado:
"ÁGUA MOLE EM PEDRA DURA TANTO DÁ ATÉ QUE FURA."

Eu tinha feito nesse espaço uma paródia dos Versos de Homero especialmente para a Paula Fernandes. Mas como título de justiça e bom senso, eu devo publicar os Versos Originais sobre
A Alegoria do Nascimento da deusa
Pallas Athena, deusa da Sabedoria e da Razão na Acrópole de Atenas, onde está situado o Parthenon. Os Versos de Homero foram transpostos por Fídias, famoso escultor grego no Século V a.C. :
"COMEÇO CANTANDO PALLAS ATHENA, A DEUSA AUGUSTA, FÉRTIL EM SÁBIOS CONSELHOS, NOBILÍSSIMA VIRGEM DE CORAÇÃO INFLEXÍVEL, GUARDIÃ DAS CIDADES, A FORTE DIVA QUE O PRUDENTE ZEUS FEZ BROTAR DE SUA CABEÇA, TODA REVESTIDA
DE CINTILANTES ARMAS DE OURO. AO VEREM-NA SURGIR, BRANDINDO A LANÇA AGUDA, OS IMORTAIS PASMARAM; O OLIMPO
ESTARRECEU DIANTE DE SUA FORÇA; A TERRA SOLTOU GRANDES GRITOS; OS MARES TUMULTUARAM AS ONDAS; E O FILHO DE HIPERION SUSTEVE AS
RÉDEAS DE SEUS FOGOSOS CORCÉIS ATÉ QUE PALLAS ATHENA DEPUSESSE AS ARMAS .
ZEUS IRRADIAVA DE ORGULHO."
