Depois do Sol não vem mais nada
A simple one
Some people, I’ve heard
Are mighty confused
They are looking for something
They never did lose
What’s the meaning of life?
They cry and they shout
Not looking within
But seeking without
Some say that it’s god
In Heaven on high
Some say that there is none
You just live and die
That no god is scripting
The things that you’re doing
That he is not clapping
And never pooh-poohing
The meaning of life
Is simple and clear
It’s the life that you lead
And the things you hold dear
It’s the things that you do
And the things that you say
The thoughts that you have
That give meaning each day
Oh life... oh god... more meaningful poems
Meaningful poems

As armas e os barões assinalados...
OS LUSÍADAS
Luís de Camões
Canto I
As armas e os Barões assinalados
Que da Ocidental praia Lusitana
Por mares nunca de antes navegados
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;
E também as memórias gloriosas
Daqueles Reis que foram dilatando
A Fé, o Império, e as terras viciosas
De África e de Ásia andaram devastando,
E aqueles que por obras valerosas
Se vão da lei da Morte libertando,
Cantando espalharei por toda parte,
Se a tanto me ajudar o engenho e arte.
Cessem do sábio Grego e do Troiano
As navegações grandes que fizeram;
Cale-se de Alexandro e de Trajano
A fama das vitórias que tiveram;
Que eu canto o peito ilustre Lusitano,
A quem Neptuno e Marte obedeceram.
Cesse tudo o que a Musa antiga canta,
Que outro valor mais alto se alevanta.
E vós, Tágides minhas, pois criado
Tendes em mi um novo engenho ardente,
Se sempre em verso humilde celebrado
Foi de mi vosso rio alegremente,
Dai-me agora um som alto e sublimado,
Um estilo grandíloco e corrente,
Por que de vossas águas Febo ordene
Que não tenham enveja às de Hipocrene.
Dai-me üa fúria grande e sonorosa,
E não de agreste avena ou frauta ruda,
Mas de tuba canora e belicosa,
Que o peito acende e a cor ao gesto muda;
Dai-me igual canto aos feitos da famosa
Gente vossa, que a Marte tanto ajuda;
Que se espalhe e se cante no universo,
Se tão sublime preço cabe em verso.
