The Spoils of War

movie trailer

 

Just to recommend this movie ‘The Sea Inside’- and yes, based on a true story-
The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro)
based on the true story of Spaniard Ramon Sampedro who fought a 30-year campaign to be allowed to end his life with dignity, after an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mar Adentro (Ramon Sampedro)

Mar adentro, mar adentro.
Y en la ingravidez del fondo
donde se cumplen los sueños
se juntan dos voluntades
para cumplir un deseo.

Un beso enciende la vida
con un relámpago y un trueno
y en una metamorfosis
mi cuerpo no es ya mi cuerpo,
es como penetrar al centro del universo.

El abrazo más pueril
y el más puro de los besos
hasta vernos reducidos
en un único deseo.

Tu mirada y mi mirada
como un eco repitiendo, sin palabras
‘más adentro’, ‘más adentro’
hasta el más allá del todo
por la sangre y por los huesos.

Pero me despierto siempre
y siempre quiero estar muerto,
para seguir con mi boca
enredada en tus cabellos.

Mar adentro, mar adentro,
e na leveza do fundo onde se realizam os sonhos
se juntam duas vontades para realizar um desejo.
Seu olhar e meu olhar como um eco, repetindo, sem palavras.
Mais adentro, mais adentro.
Até mais além de tudo, pelo sangue e pelos ossos.
Mas eu acordo sempre, e sempre quero estar morto
para seguir com minha boca enredada em seus cabelos.
Mar Adentro – Alejandro Amenábar

Out to sea. Out to sea, and in the weightlessness of the deep where dreams come true, two souls unite to fulfill a single wish. Your gaze and mine, over and over like an echo, repeating silently: “Deeper, and deeper,” beyond everything that is flesh and blood. But I always awaken and I always wish for death, my lips forever entangled in your hair.

 Mar Adentro (Ramon Sampedro)  Translation to English, but of course not exactly the same

Sea Inside, seaward.
And in weightlessness fund
where dreams are fulfilled
two wills
come together to fulfill a wish.

A kiss ignites life
with lightning and
a thunder and a metamorphosis
my body is no longer my body,
is like entering the center of the universe.

The embrace more childish
and the purest of kissing up to us

reduced in a single desire.

Your eyes and my eyes
repeating like an echo, without words
‘more inside’, ‘more inside’
until beyond all
by blood and bones.

But I always awake and always want to be dead,
to continue with my mouth
tangled in your hair.
