_um perfeito coração_

Porque esta (também) foi a música dos nossos dias.

(...)
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me.

Let's dance for mercy!

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I’m begging please stop playing games

I don’t know what this is
‘Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
why won’t you release me
I said release me

Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a man
Who can take my hand yes I do

I don’t know what this is
But you got me good
Just like you knew you would

I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
I said you’d better release

I’m begging you for mercy
Yes why won’t you realse me
I’m begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

The very thought of you*

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
Im living in a kind of daydream
Im happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me thats everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


Ray Noble

Canção das horas nº 26

If the stars were mine

If the stars were mine
I'd give them all to you
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
and leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
so when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
If the stars were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd put the stars right in a jar and give them all to you

If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to sing
I'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square, whenever you went out
so there'd always be sweet music whenever you would walk about
If the birds were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you

If the world was mine
I'd paint it gold and green
I'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
I would color all the mountains, make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
If the world was mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd wrap the world in ribbons and then give it all to you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
I'd put those stars right in a jar and give them all to you.

Green Grass

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed them
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me

Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Remember when you loved me
Remember when you loved me

Tom Waits by Cibelle

Obrigado C., por me ofereceres esta canção!

Rising up

Tropecei nela ainda há pouco. Há poucochinho. Ainda agora, como uma tempestade, caiu-me em cima, I got caught in a storm, e prendeu-me por completo. Arrebatou-me, elevou-me e atirou-me ao chão. Encheu-me a dobra do coração. Sem dar conta, rodopiei e rodopiei e rodopiei, I got turned, turned around. Como uma cómoda, uma porta, uma vaca no olho do furacão. Deixei-me ir… deixei-me levar, deixei-me navegar pelo vento, I was rising up, hitting the ground.

Quantas vezes não vimos as tempestades chegarem? Quantas vezes não fomos levados, arrebatados, e subimos e subimos e subimos e descemos e descemos e descemos, caindo e voando sem darmos conta. Enrolados em nós, acomodados em nós, demasiado estranhados e entranhados em nós, deixámo-nos ir deslumbrados com o correr, com o seguir, com o andar, things were flying around, and doors were slamming, and windows were breaking. Quantas vezes não te ouvi no meio da tempestade. Eu, eu e tu, no meio da tempestade, a rodopiar e a rodopiar, sem nos vermos, so I didn't call, and you didn't see me for a while, sem nos ouvirmos, and I couldn't hear what you were saying…

Desde então, aqui andamos os dois. Rising, rising, rising up…

Wonderful life

... No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life ...
