There used to be 7 sisters
They love to dance and sing
There were close, even as kids
They would play and swing


Their names were many
But let's start with the first
Phaedra, the sister of strength
She was never easy to coerce


Then there was the second
Luna, sister of dance
Every night by the fire
The others saw her prance


This girl was just as great
Estella, sister of song
When she sung
Everyone sang along


Now with the 4th
Ilta, sister of art
People would see her work
And feel it deep in their heart


The 5th is the next
Ayla, sister of story
Full of joy and pain
Always end in glory


6 was always around
Diana, sister of care
If someone was sick
She'd be there


But the last one is hard
For both you and me
Eira, girl of nothing
Yeah, the others are surprised too



She tried to move
But would fall
She tried to sing
But it always hit a wall


Eira tried to be like the others
But she felt small and shy
So while the others were asleep
She hid in the sky



The 6 sisters woke up
And looked and tried
But after years of searching
They began to cry



But little do they know
Eira was great
She was watching the others
Changing the star's fate


Eira isn't mad
But sad and hurt
Maybe one day
She'll leave her yurt


And dance with her sisters
Like she was born to do
Because they love each other
All the way, through and through
um. I like stars.

Visão cega dum vão cultivar,
Anseio que derrama, ***** e mudo,
Ao longe o vislumbre de ti a passar
Escorre de mim sedento, sem ar,
A drenar lento por um canudo
sob um ser que finge ser,
ser que sabe fugir
mas não sabe desprender;
Ser que não serve para sentir,
mas sente para viver.

Já não sei seguir sem par
a cruzar rotas noutros trilhos
O fulgor do teu olhar,
por mais que o queira cuidar
vai cruzando noutros brilhos.
Indício que vem num tumulto agudo
Pulsar de veia que me assalta,
espreita o clarão pelo canudo
e a luz escorre na tua falta.
Sai de mim, por tudo te peço;
Sai de mim, mas não me leves
e deixa durar os dias breves,
assim que saias verei se os esqueço.
Sai de mim, mas leva a saudade
E deixa-me noutra realidade
Uma na qual não te conheço.

Memória reclusa, cativo tesouro
de fios mognos no sol louro,
Risos soltos em cabelos revoltos,
Imagem tua, miragem de um ser
que em quietude à distância
me dá ânsia de te ver.
Ecoa a afastar e prende-me ao chão,
Semeia desígnios num solo a vagar,
Curva-se e colhe sombras em vão.

Nado no rio que corre sem dor,
que é meu e finda num mar interior
Estou aqui, estou agora
Espreito-me de dentro para fora,
Vejo a eira a cultivar,
Trago grãos p'ra semear,
a visão cega fixa-se perto
E desvanece a clarear
um amanhã sempre incerto,
sempre brumoso a se esboçar.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
