Coisas Pequenas

.

Coisas pequenas são
coisas pequenas
são tudo o que eu te quero dar
e estas palavras são
coisas pequenas
que dizem que eu te quero amar.

Amar, amar, amar
só vale a pena
se tu quiseres confirmar
que um grande amor não é
coisa pequena
que nada é maior que amar.

E a hora
que te espreita
é só tua.
Decerto, nao será
só a que resta;
a hora
que esperei a vida toda,
é esta.

E a hora
que te espreita
é derradeira.
Decerto já bateu
à tua porta.
A hora
que esperaste a vida inteira,
é agora.

Madredeus, Coisas Pequenas, 1997

Peace

(Clicca sull'immagine per vedere il video)

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning out my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget

Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequencies at which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it cost
There is a radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start

Just look at me
I'm a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity that I possess
I'm going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's an inevitability

Virtual Insanity

.

Jamiroquai - New Music - More Music Videos

Ooo Heh heh, Oh, what we’re living in, let me tell ya
It is a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we’ll be doing for us
And I’m giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can’t see, I can’t breathe
No more will we be
And nothing’s going to change the way we live
’Cause we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, whoa, it’s a crazy world we’re living in
And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
Useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground

And I’m thinking what a mess we’re in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the colour of her child
That’s not nature’s way
Well that’s what they said yesterday
There’s nothing left to do but pray
I think it’s time to find a new religion
Whoa, It’s so insane
To synthesize another strain
There’s something in these
Futures that we have to be told

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground

Now there is no sound if we all live underground
If there was virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad
As a man-made man, oh yeah, I know yeah
Ooh

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have for
Useless, twisting, of the new technology
Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground

Now this life that we live in
It's so wrong
Shout out the window
Do you know that
There is nothing worse than a man-made man
Still there's nothing worse than a foolish man, hey

Virtual insanity is what we're living in
Yeah, it is alright

Jamiroquai, Virtual Insanity, 1996

Una canzone d'amore

.

When you're close to tears remember
Someday it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high
Though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different colour
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day
Remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day we're gonna get so high
Cause even the impossible
Is easy when we got each other
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day
Remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day
Remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be
Forever, you and me
You will
Always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love...

Dueño de mi silencio

.

Se ha secado el río que me llevó a ti
Me he perdido en el camino que contigo aprendí
Ya no brilla la luz que me llevo a tu vera

Llevo semanas pensando qué hacemos aquí
creo que ya no me acuerdo si algun día fui feliz
Nunca tuve tanto frio si estando a tu lado

Si no te hablo será porque no quiero
Volverme esclavo de mis palabras
si no te hablo será porque prefiero
ser el dueño de mi silencio

Si no te hablo será porque no quiero
Volverme esclavo de mis palabras
si no te hablo será porque prefiero
ser el dueño de mi silencio


Créeme cuando te digo que es mejor así
Que no hay cielo sin estrellas
Ni principio sin fin
que después del invierno viene la primavera

Siempre quise ser tu amigo no lo conseguí
creo que lo mejor sea que te olvides de mí
quédate con lo bonito deja caer esa lágrima

Siempre quise ser tu amigo no lo conseguí
creo que lo mejor sea que te olvides de mí
quédate con lo bonito deja caer esa lágrima

Siempre quise ser tu amigo no lo conseguí
creo que lo mejor sea que te olvides de mí
quédate con lo bonito deja caer esa lágrima

Se ha secado el rio que me llevo a ti
Me he perdido en el camino que contigo aprendi
Ya no brilla la luz que me llevo a tu...

Si no te hablo será porque no quiero
Volverme esclavo de mis palabras
si no te hablo será porque prefiero
ser el dueño de mi silencio

Si no te hablo será porque no quiero
Volverme esclavo de mis palabras
si no te hablo será porque prefiero
ser el dueño de mi silencio

Jarabe de Palo, Dueño de mi silencio, 1996

La Notte Etterna

Voi cui eternità
A posto in braccia
Mia vita
Voi che d’altro mondo
Sognate, d’a-altre fia-amme
Ma non so per ch’io sia
O mo-orta ripa
Del mio stato-infelice
L’stato-infelice!
Com’ ch’il cie-el non più vede

Ha’n te-enebre-il cor’

Come chi tanto guarda

La nott-etterna
Tramene…
Làggiù
Di che sai tu ?
Di smarrita, febbrila
Attesa
Dove…
Dove sei tu ?
Che’l preda, esule
T’attende…
Ma non so per ch’io sia
O mo-orta ripa
Del mio stato-infelice
L’stato-infelice
Com’ ch’il cie-el non più vede

Ha’n te-enebre-il cor’

Come chi tanto guarda

La nott-etterna
Tramene…
Com’ ch’il cie-el non più vede

Ha’n te-enebre-il cor’

Come chi tanto guarda

Tramene…

Emma Shapplin, La Notte Etterna, 2002

Una canzone d'amore

Out on the wiley, windy moors
Wed roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering heights.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! it gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
Im coming back, love.
Cruel heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
Im coming back to his side, to put it right.
Im coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering heights,

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know its me--cathy!

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!

Kate Bush, Wuthering Heights, 1978

Sledgehammer

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Youd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
Im going to be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Im your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

Ive kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh wont you show for me
And I will show for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
Youve been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Its what were doing, doing
All day and night

Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer, 1986

Canção do Mar

Fui bailar no meu batel
Além do mar cruel
E o mar bramindo
Diz que eu fui roubar
A luz sem par
Do teu olhar tão lindo

Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração

Se eu bailar no meu batel
Não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo

Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração

Se eu bailar no meu batel
Não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo


Dulce Pontes, Canção do mar, 1993

Una canzone d'amore

Quando você foi embora, fez-se noite em meu viver
Forte eu sou mas não tem jeito
Hoje eu tenho que chorar
Minha casa não é minha e nem é meu este lugar
Estou só e não resisto,muito tenho pra falar
Solto a voz nas estradas, já não quero parar
Meu caminho é de pedra como posso sonhar
Sonho feito de brisa, vento vem terminar
Vou fechar o meu pranto
Vou querer me matar
Vou seguindo pela vida, me esquecendo de você
Eu não quero mais a morte, tenho muito que viver
Vou querer amar de novo e se não der não vou sofrer
Já não sonho, hoje faço
Com meu braco o meu viver
Solto a voz nas estradas, já não quero parar
Meu caminho é de pedra, como posso sonhar?
Sonho feito de brisa, vento vem terminar
Vou fechar o meu pranto
Vou querer me matar

Elis Regina, Travessia, 1967

Sowing The Seeds Of Love

.

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.j.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracry?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

And anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love
Anything is possible - sowing the seeds of love

I spy tears in thier eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste!
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician grannie with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promise land
We're fools to the rules of a goverment plan
Kick out the style ! bring back the jam!

Anything...
Sowing the seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me in love

Feel the pain
Talk about it
If you're a worried man - then shout about it
Open hearts - feel about it
Open minds - think about it
Everyone - read about it
Everyone - scream about it!
Everyone
Everyone - read about it, read about it
Read in the books in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
Chorus!

(Mr. England sowing the seeds of love)

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
Every minute of every hour - " i love a sunflower "
And i believe in lovepower, love power, lovepower!!!

Sowing the seeds
An end to need
And the politics of greed
With love

Tears for Fears, Sowing The Seeds Of Love, 1989

Tears In Heaven

Eric Clapton - New Music - More Music Videos

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please... begging please

Beyond the door there's peace I’m sure
And I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven...

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Eric Clapton, Tears In Heaven, 1991

Una canzone d'amore

I wanna go to bed with arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend that I’m still sleeping
Til’ you go home

Oh I can’t look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign
That says ‘Leave right now or quicker’
You’ve overstayed your time

If I don’t believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don’t believe in love nothing is safe for me
When I don’t believe in love you’re too close to me
And that’s why you have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it’s different now, it’s morning
And I can’t face your smile

The second that I feel your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You’ve overstayed your time

If I don’t believe in love nothing is good for me
If I don’t believe in love nothing will last for me
When I don’t believe in love nothing is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me
And nothing is real for me

When I don’t believe in love why do you care for me?
When I don’t believe in love nothing is real for me
If I don’t believe in love you’re getting to close to me
And that’s why you have to leave
And that’s why you have to leave

If I don’t believe in love
If I don’t believe in love
If I don’t believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don’t believe in love
You’re too good for me

Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

Una canzone d'amore

Quando não tinha nada, eu quis
Quando tudo era ausência, esperei
Quando tive frio, tremi
Quando tive coragem, liguei...

Quando chegou carta, abri
Quando ouvi prince, dancei
Quando o olho brilhou, entendi
Quando criei asas, voei...

Quando me chamou, eu vim
Quando dei por mim, tava aqui
Quando lhe achei, me perdi
Quando vi você, me apaixonei...

Amarazáia zoê, záia, záia
A hin hingá do hanhan.....
Ohhh!
Amarazáia zoê, záia, záia

Quando não tinha nada, eu quis
Quando tudo era ausência, esperei
Quando tive frio, tremi
Quando tive coragem, liguei...

Quando chegou carta, abri
Quando ouvi Salif Keita, dancei
Quando o olho brilhou, entendi
Quando criei asas, voei...

Quando me chamou, eu vim
Quando dei por mim, tava aqui

Quando vi você, me apaixonei...

E ancora sull'America (quasi con nostalgia)

This is not America, sha la la la la
A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
[This is not a miracle]
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
[This is not America]
For this is not the miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la,
sha la la la la, sha la la la la
This is not america, no,
this is not, sha la la la la]

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
[This could be the biggest sky]
So bloody red
Tomorrow's clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
[This could be a miracle]
For this is not America

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la]
