Bairro do Amor

No bairro do amor a vida e um carrossel
onde há sempre lugar para mais alguém
o bairro do amor foi feito a lápis de cor
pra gente que sofreu por não ter ninguém

No bairro do amor o tempo morre devagar
num cachimbo a rodar de mão em mão
no bairro do amor há quem pergunte a sorrir
será que ainda ca estamos no fim do Verão

Eh pá, deixa-me abrir contigo
desabafar contigo
falar-te da minha solidão
Ah, é bom sorrir um pouco
descontrair um pouco
eu sei que tu compreendes bem

No bairro do amor a vida corre sempre igual
de café em café, de bar em bar
no bairro do amor o sol parece maior
e há ondas de ternura em cada olhar

O bairro do amor é uma zona marginal
onde não há hotéis nem hospitais
no bairro do amor cada um tem de tratar
das suas nódoas negras sentimentais

Eh pá, deixa-me abrir contigo
desabafar contigo
falar-te da minha solidão
Ah, é bom sorrir um pouco
descontrair um pouco
eu sei que tu compreendes bem

Jorge Palma

I cried for You

I remember other days, how I used to weep
Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow
All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

True Reflections

René Magritte

When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you?
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do?

Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

Remember the time you hung out with the boys, now
Remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
But after all that was yesterday
But you've had time to go out in the world now
But you chose to run away
Well, people ask you what you're doing now
You don't even know what to say

Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

You think your life is like a movie
Where it all works out in the end
I think your life is like a desert
Where does it go, where does it begin?
When you look into a mirror
(When you look into a mirror)
Do you like what's looking at you?
(Do you like it?)
Now that you've seen your true reflection
What on earth are you gonna do?

Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you

Dave Matthews Band

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter in a Small Town

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I cant seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place,
I wish Id seen the place
But no ones ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldnt recall, for
Im not my former
Its hard when youre stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps thats what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My God its been so long, never dreamed youd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

Agora sim, damos a volta a isto!
Agora sim, há pernas para andar!
Agora sim, eu sinto o optimismo!
Vamos em frente, ninguém nos vai parar!

Agora não, que é hora do almoço...
Agora não, que é hora do jantar...
Agora não, que eu acho que não posso...
Amanhã vou trabalhar...

Agora sim, temos a força toda!
Agora sim, há fé neste querer!
Agora sim, só vejo gente boa!
Vamos em frente e havemos vencer!

Agora não, que me dói a barriga...
Agora não, dizem que vai chover...
Agora não, que joga o Benfica...
e eu tenho mais que fazer...

Agora sim, cantamos com vontade!
Agora sim, eu sinto a união!
Agora sim, já ouço a liberdade!
Vamos em frente, é esta a direcção!

Agora não, que falta um impresso...
Agora não, que o meu pai não quer...
Agora não, que há engarrafamentos...
Vão sem mim, que eu vou lá ter...

Think You Know

Goin' home
can't escape
it won't break

No harm
is worth
what I can't take

So you think you know
think you know the way
So you think you know
think you know my shame

Even though I
still care for you
Its not half of
all I could do

So, so you think you know
think you know my ways
So, so you think you know
think you know my shame

Now it's late
I'm not afraid
to let you know

I'm hurt
to burn
to let it show

Rivers come and
Rivers go
Straight from my hell
to my aching soul

So, so you think you know
think you know the way
So, so you think you know
think you know my shame

Even though I
still care for you
It's not all I
could ever do for you

Just so, just so you know
Just so, just so you know
Just so, just so you know
Just so

Djali Zwan - 'Think You Know'

I Don't Want to Fall In Love

I would like to tell you, I would like to say

That I knew that this would happen

That things would go this way

But I cannot deceive you, this was never planned

I know that you're the right girl but do you think that I am the right man?

1...2...3...4,5,6,7,

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(but I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna)

You say it's not a problem,

You say it's meant to be

But love is not an option, our love is never free

And things are not so easy, so cold and we've been burned

I know that I'll have regrets but that's the price of one more lesson learned

1..2..3...4,5,6,7,

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(but I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

The Gift

"Embora lave o medo
que há do fim
a chuva apaga o fogo que há em mim
Ouço a voz de quem
me quer tão bem
E fico a ver se a chuva
a ouvirá também..."

Slaveship

A slaveship, lost at sea
A slaveship, lost at sea
And I'm drowning, your waters deep
I'm drowning, your waters deep

A spaceship, in the country
A spaceship, in the country
And we're flying, into green
We're flying, into green

And I told you a thousand times
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

The city, there's an empty street
The city, there's an empty street
And we're dancing, to the lonely beat
We're dancing, to the lonely beat

Your building, is where we'll meet
Your building, is where we'll meet
And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
I'm hungry, lets get something to eat

Cos I told you a thousand times
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
Your daddy, he ain't like me
Your daddy, he ain't like me
I'm striving, I so wanna be
I'm striving, I got to agree

One day girl, you'll be my queen
One day girl, I'll be your king
And we'll reign, in a castle supreme
We'll reign in, a castle supreme

Cos I told you a thousand times
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
Cos I told you a thousand times
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

Josh Rouse

Nem às Paredes Confesso

Não queiras gostar de mim
Sem que eu te peça
Nem me dês nada que ao fim
Eu não mereça

Vê se me deitas depois
Culpas no rosto
Isto é sincero
Porque não quero
Dar-te um desgosto

De quem eu gosto
Nem às paredes confesso
E até aposto
Que não gosto de ninguém

Podes sorrir
Podes mentir
Podes chorar também
De quem eu gosto
Nem às paredes confesso

Quem sabe se te esqueci
Ou se te quero
Quem sabe até se é por ti
Por quem eu espero

Se eu gosto ou não afinal
Isso é comigo
Mesmo que penses
Que me convences
Nada te digo

De quem eu gosto
Nem às paredes confesso
E até aposto
Que não gosto de ninguém

Podes sorrir
Podes mentir
Podes chorar também
De quem eu gosto
Nem às paredes confesso

Podes sorrir
Podes mentir
Podes chorar também
De quem eu gosto
Nem às paredes confesso

Amália Rodrigues

(poema de Artur Ribeiro, Ferrer Trindade e Max)

Sinkin' Soon

We're an oyster cracker on the stew,
And the honey in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.I

n a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
We're gonna be
sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
Down and down we go.

Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
No thank you none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

Norah Jones

Ladrão...

Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe.
You had so much to give, you thought I couldnt see.
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Our eyes and bodies brighten silent waters, deep.
Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.
A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet.
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Morning theft. unpretender left, ungraceful.
True self is what brought you here, to me.
A place where we can accept this love.
Friendship battered down by useless history,
Unexamined failure.
What am I still to you?
Some thief who stole from you?
Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
That brings us to who we need,
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.
Youre a woman, Im a calf.
Youre a window, Im a knife.
We come together making chance into starlight.
Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want.
I have no right to wonder just how, or when.
You know the meaning fits. theres no relief in this.
I miss my beautiful friend.
I have to send it away to bring her back again.

Morning Thief - Jeff Buckley

London Skies

Paint a picture,

Clear cut and pale on a cold winters day,

Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,

On a cold winters Day.

Will you let me romanticize,

The beauty in our London Skies,

You know the sunlight always shines,

Behind the clouds of London Skies.

Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys,

Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,

On a cold winters Day.

Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.

Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,

you worship the sun but now,

can you fall for the rain...

Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.

Jamie Cullum

Homesick

"I lose some sales
and my boss won't be happy
but I can't stop listening to the sound
of two soft voices blended in perfection
from the reels of this record that I found

every day there's a boy in the mirror
asking me
what are you doing here
finding all my previous motives
growing increasingly unclear

I travelled far and I burned all the bridges
I belived as SOON as I hit land
all the other
options held before me
WILL wither in the light of my plan

so I lose some sales
and my boss won't be happy
but there's only one thing on my mind
searching boxes underneath the counter
on a chance that on a tape I'd find

a song for
someone who needs somewhere
to long for

homesick
cause I no longer know
what home is"

Kings Of Convenience - 'Homesick'
