Autumn Leaves poem

I have this friend who is a writer and a poet and was so kind to offer  to translate the poem where the music Autumn leaves in this page came from...the old version from French to English. It is a very beautiful and touching poem.

Eu tenho um amigo que é  escritor e poeta e foi tão gentil em oferecer para traduzir o poema de onde a musica Folhas de Outono publicado nesta página veio ... a versão antiga vem do francês para o Inglês. E um poem muito bonito e sentimental.



    
 Autumn Leaves

Oh, I so want you to remember
The happy days when we were friends.
The sun burned brighter
And life was much more beautiful then.

The autumn leaves as they fell...
You see, I have never forgotten...
The falling of the autumn leaves....

The memories and regrets,
The north wind carried them away
In the cold, oblivious night.
You see, I have never forgotten
The song you sang to me.

This is the song that resembles us -
You, you loved me and I loved you
As we lived together in harmony.
You loved me, I who loved you....
But love tears apart those who love
Without making a sound, so slowly,
As the sea recedes from the sand,
Erasing the footsteps of lovers.

The falling of the autumn leaves,
The memories and the regrets...
My love, so quiet and faithful,
Your smile, your love of life....
How could I ever forget you?
The sun burned brighter
And life was much more beautiful then.
You were my closest friend.
But I have no time for regret,
And the song that you sang
I will always hear, will never forget.

This is the song that resembles us -
You, you loved me and I loved you
As we lived together in harmony.
You loved me, I who loved you....
But love tears apart those who love
Without making a sound, so slowly,
As the sea recedes from the sand,
Erasing the footsteps of lovers.

Autumn Leaf painting

                                   Autumn leaf/ acrylic on board - Outono/ acrilico

Have you notice how the leaves cycle are a bit similar to  the colour wheel chart? this is something I have never notice until someone called my attention to it. They goes like this from  green to yellow to orange to brown to red and purple... 

Você já notou como o ciclo de folhas são um pouco semelhante ao da roda de cores? isso é algo que eu nao tinha percebido  até alguém me chamar a atenção para isso. Vai  assim de ...verde para amarelo para laranja ao marrom ao vermelho e roxo ..

Above is one of my attempts to paint a red/brown leaf. Also I will show the picture of one of my drawing in pencil of a different leaf  bellow...

 Acima foi uma das minhas tentativas de pintar uma folha vermelha / marrom. Também vou mostrar a foto de um dos meus desenhos a lápis de uma folha diferente abaixo...
