Cry 4 Love

No one can love me the way that you do
Yeah, I was the captain of my own ship of fools
I fled to the ocean, I aimed for the stars
So your face was a light that kept me saved from the dark
So I say please, say please

Girl, you see me smiling
Girl, I'm singing words of joy to the world
Between the lines it's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

I jumped to the water, I swam to the shore
Turned up at your doorstep, I slept on your floor
I woke up in panic, I dreamt you were gone
You're gone, you're gone
I stood there in silence with the damaged I've done
But now it's done, it's done so

Girl, you see me smiling
Girl, I'm singing words of joy to the world
Between the lines it's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

I'll keep on smiling
Girl I'll keep on playing my songs to the world
Between the lines it's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

A cry for love
A cry for love
A cry for love

Girl, you see me smiling
Girl, I'm singing words of joy to the world
Between the lines it's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

I'll keep on smiling
Girl, I'll keep on playing my songs to the world
Between the lines it's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

Can't you see the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

It's hidden in the smile
Can't you hear a cry for love

Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver

"All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go"

"Eu não sei dizer" - Silence 4

O silencio deixa-me ileso, e que importancia tem?

Se assim tu ves em mim alguem melhor que alguem.

Sei que minto pois o que sinto nao e' diferente de ti.

Nao cedo. Este segredo e' fragil e e' meu.

Eu nao sei tanto sobre tanta coisaque as vezes tenho medo

de dizer aquelas coisas que fazem chorar.

Quem te disse coisas tristes nao era igual a mim.

Sim, eu sei que choro, mas eu posso querer diferente para ti.

Eu nao sei tanto sobre tanta coisa

que as vezes tenho medo

de dizer aquelas coisas que fazem chorar.

E nao me perguntes nada.

Eu nao sei dizer.

La Vie En Rose - Édith Piaf

La Vie En Rose

Des Yeux Qui Font Baisser Les Miens
Un Rire Qui Se Perd Sur Sa Bouche
Voila Le Portrait Sans Retouche
De L'homme Auguel J'appartiens
Quand Il Me Prend Dans Ses Bras,
Il Me Parle Tout Bas
Je Vois La Vie En Rose,
Il Me Dit Des Mots D'amour
Das Mots De Tous Les Jours,
Et Ca Me Fait Quelques Choses
Il Est Entre Dans Mon Coeur,
Une Part De Bonheur
Dont Je Connais La Cause, C'est Lui Pour
Moi, Moi Pour Lui Dans La Vie
Il Me L'a Dit, L'a Jure Pour La Vie,
Et Des Que Je L'apercois
Alors Je Sens En Moi, Mon Coeur Qui Bat...
Des Nuits D'amour A Plus Finir
Un Grand Bonheur Qui Prend Sa Place
Les Ennuis, Des Chagrins S'effacent
Heureux, Heureux A En Mourir

Besame Mucho - Diana Krall

Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez,
Besame, besame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte despues [twice]

Quiero sentirte muy cerca mirarme en tus ojos verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana yo ya estare lejos, muy lejos de ti

Besame...

Quiero...

Besame...

[English translation]

Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
As if tonight were the last time
Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
For I'm scared to lose you, to lose you afterwards

I want to feel you very close, see myself in your eyes, see you near me
Think that maybe tomorrow I'll already be far, very far away from you

Borrow - Silence 4

You're never with me

You're never near me
What time is it?
What time?
Who's time is this?
Give yourself a change to breathe
I'll give you the room you need
You're never here
You're never near here
What day is this?
What day?
Who's day is this?
Put me in your supermarket list
I'me here, I'm real, It's true, I do exist
Today you may feel a little sleepy
Maybe the morning is too soon
I guess I'll have to borrow
One of your sunny afternoons
But afternoons they never come
There's nothing left for me to borrow
I guess i'll try again tomorrow
You're wasting me
You're breaking, you're wasting me
Can this be love?
Is this?
Who's love is this?
What is wrong with you i don't know
No place in you for me
And me, I need you so
And if you want to be yourself
No one disturbing, that's alright
I guess i'll have to borrow
A little of yoursealf tonight
But tonight it never comes
There's nothing left for me to borrow
I guess i'll try again tomorrow
It may seem a little hollow
But i'll try again tomorrow
There's nothing left for me to borrow
I guess i'll try again tomorrow

Paciência - Lenine

Mesmo quando tudo pede
Um pouco mais de calma

Até quando o corpo pede

Um pouco mais de alma

A vida não pára...

Enquanto o tempo

Acelera e pede pressa

Eu me recuso faço hora

Vou na valsa

A vida é tão rara...

Enquanto todo mundo

Espera a cura do mal

E a loucura finge

Que isso tudo é normal

Eu finjo ter paciência...

O mundo vai girando

Cada vez mais veloz

A gente espera do mundo

E o mundo espera de nós

Um pouco mais de paciência...

Será que é tempo

Que lhe falta prá perceber?

Será que temos esse tempo

Prá perder?

E quem quer saber?

A vida é tão rara

Tão rara...

Mesmo quando tudo pede

Um pouco mais de calma

Mesmo quando o corpo pede

Um pouco mais de alma

Eu sei, a vida não pára

A vida não pára não...

Será que é tempo

Que lhe falta prá perceber?

Será que temos esse tempo

Prá perder?

E quem quer saber?

A vida é tão rara

Tão rara...

Mesmo quando tudo pede

Um pouco mais de calma

Até quando o corpo pede

Um pouco mais de alma

Eu sei, a vida não pára

A vida não pára não...

A vida não pára..

I'm a Bitch I'm a Lover

"I hate the world today
You’re so good to me, I know
But I can change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I’m an angel underneath In a sentence sweet

Yesterday I cried
Most have been to see the softer side
I can understand how you’d bee so confused
I don’t envie you
I’m a little bit of everything
All roled into one

I’m a bitch I’m a lover
I’m a child I’m a mother
I’m a sinner I’m a sant
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell I’m your dream
I’m nothin’ in between
You know, you wouldn’t want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may meen, you’ll have to be a stronger man
Jused to shooter, when I start to make you nervous
And I’m going to extreem’s
Tomorrow I will change and today won’t meen a thing

I’m a bitch I’m a lover
I’m a child I’m a mother
I’m a sinner I’m a sant
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell I’m your dream
I’m nothin’ in between
You know, you wouldn’t want it any other way

Just when you think
You got me
Figger out the seasons all ready changin’
I think it’s cool, you do what you do
And don’t try to sing this

I’m a bitch I’m a lover
I’m a child I’m a mother
I’m a sinner I’m a sant
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell I’m your dream
I’m nothin’ in between
You know, you wouldn’t want it any other way

I’m a bitch, I’m tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you're hurt
When you suffer
I'm your angel undercover I've been numb
I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it ANY other way"


Meredith Brooks

A Gente Vai Continuar

Tira a mão do queixo, não penses mais nisso
O que lá vai já deu o que tinha a dar
Quem ganhou, ganhou e usou-se disso
Quem perdeu há-de ter mais cartas para dar
E enquanto alguns fazem figura
Outros sucumbem à batota
Chega aonde tu quiseres
Mas goza bem a tua rota

Enquanto houver estrada para andar
A gente vai continuar
Enquanto houver estrada para andar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar
A gente não vai parar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar

Todos nós pagamos por tudo o que usamos
O sistema é antigo e não poupa ninguém, não
Somos todos escravos do que precisamos
Reduz as necessidades se queres passar bem
Que a dependência é uma besta
Que dá cabo do desejo
E a liberdade é uma maluca
Que sabe quanto vale um beijo

Enquanto houver estrada para andar
A gente vai continuar
Enquanto houver estrada para andar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar
A gente não vai parar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar

Enquanto houver estrada para andar
A gente vai continuar
Enquanto houver estrada para andar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar
A gente não vai parar
Enquanto houver ventos e mar


Jorge Palma

Take Me Away

How long will I keep this candid camera smile?
My muscles hurt, I better rest for a while
Breathing is the only thing that keeps alive
All this oxygen, crushes me, leaves me so tight
Let me out...

My pain is leading, I got no control from now
Don't try to help me, I don't want to put you down
All my reasons will be misunderstood,
I wish you well, in here there's nothing good

My heart is rotten with all the worst kind of disease
It tries to be better but all it can do is bleed
I'm so tired of myself
Oh God please take me away and bring someone else

One of my friends believes in what she reads
And she's always talking about the end of the century
But listen, have you ever stopped to realise
That if it happened there would be noone to feel alone?
No pain at all...

I should be going, so much damage I've done
So many tears and still alot more to come
Excuse, don't push my wheel chair
I don't want to go anywhere

My heart is rotten with all the worst kind of disease
It tries to be better but all it can do is bleed
I'm so tried of myself
Oh God please take me away and bring someone else

Alone, I don't care
And now all I remember is the smell of your hair

Silence 4

"Can't we be friends?"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

I thought for onceit couldn't go wrong
Not for long! I can see the way this ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?

I thought I'd found a girl I could trust
What a bust! now I see the way this ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?

I should have seen the signals and stopped
What a flop! now I see the way this ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"


Jamie Cullum

Chuva

E agora diz-me se já decidiste
O tempo voa e a tua imagem ainda persiste
Ainda sinto a nossa chuva mágica a cair
Tens o tempo de um cigarro se ainda quiseres partir
É como andar no deserto,
Sempre tão longe e tão perto
Olho à minha volta,
O mundo é tão incerto
Quero-te dizer que não vai dar
Quero só saber se vens ou queres ficar
Eu sei que não vou partir sozinha
Sinto o vento, sinto a estrada, sinto o fim da linha.
Tudo passa, voa como folhas de jornal
Meia volta, pára como um carro no sinal.
É como andar no deserto,
Sempre tão longe e tão perto
Olha à tua volta,
o mundo é tão incerto
Quero-te dizer que não vai dar
Quero só saber se vens ou queres ficar
Quero-te dizer que não vai dar
Quero só saber se vens ou queres ficar
Se vais ou queres ficar…
Se vais ou queres ficar…

Lúcia Moniz

Love Will Tear Us Apart

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

Joy Division

Easy

Know it sounds funny but
I just cant stand the pain
Girl Im leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know
Ive done all I can
You see I begged, stole and I borrowed
Yeah
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
I wanna be high
Soo high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me
Oh baby
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning


Faith No More

Heaven or Las Vegas

Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me

Hes a hustler
Its a role, hell never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me

Furthermore, lets blast it off
Im dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
Im empty before our(a? ) wedding

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me

Maybe there, while you was rail
Ill go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect Im singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon

The Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence

But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......

Vestígios de Ti

"Os meus discos no chao,
Os copos vazios...

Vestigios da noite, as palavras perdidas
O calor e o frio

O meu corpo no chao
O livro que eu li
O silencio e a pele, as palavras sentidas
Os vestigios de ti

(Chorus)

E o mundo e a rua, despidos no vento
À espera de sentir o mar
E uma vaga de espuma, e sentidos guardados
No fundo do olhar

As revistas no chao
Os copos vazios
Vestigios do tempo, as palavras trocadas
O calor e o frio

Cada gesto que abraca
E o filme que eu vi
O que fica marcado e nunca se afasta
Os vestigios de ti

E o mundo e a rua, despidos no vento
À espera de sentir o mar
E uma vaga de espuma, e sentidos guardados
No fundo do olhar

No fundo do olhar...(x2)"


E ás vezes é necessário limpar vestígios, todos e quaisquer alguns. De forma a ultrapassar, ou melhor, tentar ultrapassar... :( Por vezes é mesmo preciso.

Pedra Filosofal

Eles não sabem que o sonho
É uma constante da vida
Tão concreta e definida
Como outra coisa qualquer

Como esta pedra cinzenta
Em que me sento e descanso
Como este ribeiro manso
Em serenos sobressaltos

Como estes pinheiros altos
Que em verde e oiro se agitam
Como estas árvores que gritam
Em bebedeiras de azul

Eles não sabem que sonho
É vinho, é espuma, é fermento
Bichinho alacre e sedento
De focinho pontiagudo

Que fusa através de tudo
No perpétuo movimento
Eles não sabem que o sonho
É tela é cor é pincel

Base, fuste ou capitel
Arco em ogiva, vitral
Pináculo de catedral
Contraponto, sinfonia

Máscara grega, magia
Que é retorta de alquimista
Mapa do mundo distante
Rosa dos Ventos Infante

Caravela quinhentista
Que é cabo da Boa-Esperança
Ouro, canela, marfim
Florete de espadachim

Bastidor, passo de dança
Columbina e Arlequim
Passarola voadora
Pára-raios, locomotiva

Barco de proa festiva
Alto-forno, geradora
Cisão do átomo, radar
Ultra-som, televisão

Desembarque em foguetão
Na superfície lunar
Eles não sabem nem sonham
Que o sonho comanda a vida

E que sempre que o homem sonha
O mundo pula e avança
Como bola colorida
Entre as mãos duma criança

(António Gedeão)
