Careless Whisper - George Michael

 
Careless Whisper (Live at Earl's Court - 2008)  George Michael

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham! - George Michael

So This Is Christmas - John Lennon

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Elegia à árvore - Ana Redondo

Se eu fosse uma árvore…

A árvore eleva-se

Escorreita

Sempre firme e direita

Na sua altivez.

Ao sabor do tempo

À chuva e ao vento

Com sol e granizo

Mantém-se imponente

Sempre confiante

Em permanente sorriso

E serena placidez.

Pronta a servir de abrigo

Refúgio de qualquer perigo

Ali, de ramos estendidos

Sempre distendidos

No calor e na secura

Ou no temível frio glaciar

Pois espalha sua harmonia

Sua persistente força

Dia e noite, noite e dia.

Se eu fosse uma árvore …

Nascem folhas, nascem frutos

Caem folhas, comem-se os frutos

Voam as sementes

Que as aves transportam

Crescem as raízes

No solo bem assentes.

E a árvore cresce e se transforma

Sempre direita

Firme e altaneira.

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

I think this is a song of hope

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

[Chorus]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

[Verse 2]
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

[Chorus]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

[Verse 3]
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

[Verse 4]
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

[Outro]
And she's buying the stairway to heaven

À DESCOBERTA DO AMOR - Mahatma Gandhi

Ensaia um sorriso 
e oferece-o a quem não teve nenhum. 
Agarra um raio de sol 
e desprende-o onde houver noite. 
Descobre uma nascente 
e nela limpa quem vive na lama. 
Toma uma lágrima 
e pousa-a em quem nunca chorou. 
Ganha coragem 
e dá-a a quem não sabe lutar. 
Inventa a vida 
e conta-a a quem nada compreende. 
Enche-te de esperança 
e vive à sua luz. 
Enriquece-te de bondade 
e oferece-a a quem não sabe dar. 
Vive com amor 
e fá-lo conhecer ao Mundo.

Mahatma Gandhi

Just When I Needed You Most - Randy VanWarmer

You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

But I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning, I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me.

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.

You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Lay Down Your Shield - Elijah Ray

Lay Down Your Shield

You're looking for the love again 
In temporary lovers and friends 
Never really looking at the one in the mirror 
Do you really think you can hide? 
And keep yourself locked up inside 
When the sun is shining right in your eyes, my dear 
There's nothing to fear 
It's time to remember why we're here 

I see that you have come so far 
and traveled many lives and stars 
just to realize who you really are 
I feel you reaching out tonight 
in the darkest hour comes the light 
Everything is gonna be alright 
I'll be with you tonight 
All you have to do is let me in... 

Oh, lay down 
Lay down your shield 
and tell me how it feels 
When you look deep inside 

Lay down your armor 
Lay down your fear 
Lay down your sword, beloved 
There's no enemies here 
There's no one to fight 
Nothing left to defend 
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end 

~Instrumental break~ 

I'm finally on my knees again 
In the temple of beloved within 
My story's in the tears running down my face 
It's taken me so long to see 
That the love that truly sets you free 
Is the love that you decide to be, my friends 
It's the love that never ends 
All you have to do is let it in 

Lay down your shield 
and tell me how you feel 
when you look into my eyes 
~ 
Lay down your shield 
and tell me how it feels 
when you look deep inside 

Lay down your armor 
Lay down your fear 
Lay down your sword, beloved 
There's no enemies here 
There's no one to fight 
Nothing left to defend 
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end

I am ... I said - Neil Diamond

La's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
La's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

James Taylor 'Fire and Rain' and Neil Young's 'Heart Of Gold'

Casinha branca - Maria Bethania

Eu tenho andado tão sozinho ultimamente
Que nem vejo a minha frente
Nada que me dê prazer
Sinto cada vez mais longe a felicidade
Vendo em minha mocidade
Tanto sonho perecer
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer
Às vezes saio a caminhar pela cidade
À procura de amizades
Vou seguindo a multidão
Mas eu me retraio olhando em cada rosto
Cada um tem seu mistério
Seu sofrer, sua ilusão
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer
Eu queria ter na vida simplesmente
Um lugar de mato verde
Pra plantar e pra colher
Ter uma casinha branca de varanda
Um quintal e uma janela
Para ver o sol nascer ...


Composição: Gilson Campos e Joran

If - Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

Give Me Love - Ed Sheeran

I See Fire - Ed Sheeran

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely…

A Walk On The Wild Side - Artic Monkeys (original de Lou Reed)

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."

Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild side."

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Blowin' in The Wind - Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Don'worry, be happy - Bobby McFerrin

Every Time We Say Goodbye - Simply Red

Não Digas Nada! - Fernando Pessoa

Não digas nada! 
Nem mesmo a verdade 
Há tanta suavidade em nada se dizer 
E tudo se entender — 
Tudo metade 
De sentir e de ver... 
Não digas nada 
Deixa esquecer 

Talvez que amanhã 
Em outra paisagem 
Digas que foi vã 
Toda essa viagem 
Até onde quis 
Ser quem me agrada... 
Mas ali fui feliz 
Não digas nada. 

Fernando Pessoa, in "Cancioneiro"

Tu tens um medo - Cecília Meireles

Tu tens um medo
Acabar.
Não vês que acabas todo o dia.
Que morres no amor.
Na tristeza.
Na dúvida.
No desejo.
Que te renovas todo dia.
No amor.
Na tristeza
Na dúvida.
No desejo.
Que és sempre outro.
Que és sempre o mesmo.
Que morrerás por idades imensas.
Até não teres medo de morrer.
E então serás eterno.

Para Viver um Grande Amor - Carlos Drummond de Andrade

É preciso abrir todas as portas que fecham o coração.

Quebrar barreiras construídas ao longo do tempo,

Por amores do passado que foram em vão

É preciso muita renúncia em ser e mudança no pensar.

É preciso não esquecer que ninguém vem perfeito para nós!

É preciso ver o outro com os olhos da alma e se deixar cativar!

É preciso renunciar ao que não agrada ao seu amor...

Para que se moldem um ao outro como se molda uma escultura,

Aparando as arestas que podem machucar.

É como lapidar um diamante bruto...para fazê-lo brilhar!

E quando decidir que chegou a sua hora de amar,

Lembre-se que é preciso haver identificação de almas!

De gostos, de gestos, de pele...

No modo de sentir e de pensar!

É preciso ver a luz iluminar a aura,

Dando uma chance para que o amor te encontre

Na suavidade morna de uma noite calma...

É preciso se entregar de corpo e alma!

É preciso ter dentro do coração um sonho

Que se acalenta no desejo de: amar e ser amada!

É preciso conhecer no outro o ser tão procurado!

É preciso conquistar e se deixar seduzir...

Entrar no jogo da sedução e deixar fluir!

Amar com emoção para se saber sentir

A sensação do momento em que o amor te devora!

E quando você estiver vivendo no clímax dessa paixão,

Que sinta que essa foi a melhor de suas escolhas!

Que foi seu grande desafio... e o passo mais acertado

De todos os caminhos de sua vida trilhados!

Mas se assim não for...

Que nunca te arrependas pelo amor dado!

Faz parte da vida arriscar-se por um sonho...

Porque se não fosse assim, nunca teríamos sonhado!

Mas, antes de tudo, que você saiba que tem aliado.

Ele se chama TEMPO... seu melhor amigo.

Só ele pode dar todas as certezas do amanhã...

A certeza que... realmente você amou.

A certeza que... realmente você foi amada."

Presságio - Fernando Pessoa

O amor, quando se revela,
Não se sabe revelar.
Sabe bem olhar p'ra ela,
Mas não lhe sabe falar.

Quem quer dizer o que sente
Não sabe o que há de dizer.
Fala: parece que mente...
Cala: parece esquecer...

Ah, mas se ela adivinhasse,
Se pudesse ouvir o olhar, 
E se um olhar lhe bastasse
P'ra saber que a estão a amar!

Mas quem sente muito, cala;
Quem quer dizer quanto sente
Fica sem alma nem fala,
Fica só, inteiramente!

Mas se isto puder contar-lhe
O que não lhe ouso contar,
Já não terei que falar-lhe
Porque lhe estou a falar...

Eu não existo sem você - Tom Jobim

https://youtu.be/xR5E28m4ys0?list=PLgY054e6pDe_MokJ-ast6MA5rnvjPdyWG

Eu Não Existo Sem Você

Eu sei e você sabe, já que a vida quis assim
Que nada nesse mundo levará você de mim
Eu sei e você sabe que a distância não existe
Que todo grande amor
Só é bem grande se for triste
Por isso, meu amor
Não tenha medo de sofrer
Que todos os caminhos me encaminham pra você
Assim como o oceano
Só é belo com luar
Assim como a canção
Só tem razão se se cantar
Assim como uma nuvem
Só acontece se chover
Assim como o poeta
Só é grande se sofrer
Assim como viver
Sem ter amor não é viver
Não há você sem mim
E eu não existo sem você

The Sound of Silence (Original Version from 1964) - Simon & Garfunkel

https://youtu.be/4zLfCnGVeL4



Lyrics: Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"

This is the original version from 1964 from the album "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM." Just Simon's guitar and the vocals. The famous version was released in 1966. After "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" flopped, they split up. Without either their knowledge, electric guitars and drums were added and that version of The Sound of Silence became very popular, reaching #1 on the charts in America on New Years Day, 1966. Because of this, Simon and Garfunkel teamed up again and created three more studio albums, one of which one a Grammy award for album of the year and song of the year (Bridge Over Troubled Water).

Quântico - Ana Redondo

Tudo está interligado

É esta a grande emoção

Neste mundo alucinado

O todo é unificado

Cada um é criador.

Destruímos florestas.

Criamos as secas,

Sem oxigenação,

Cresce o dióxido de carbono,

E perde-se o ozono.

Difundimos ódio

E num confuso enredo

Manifesta-se o medo,

A raiva, infortúnio

E sede de vingança

Com a arrogância

Surge o racismo,

Infâmia, discriminação,

Forma-se um abismo

De incompreensão.

Mostramos confiança

Recebemos empenho

Esforço, ardor, engenho.

Se espalhamos ternura.

Produzimos alegria

Conforto, empatia

Tolerância, magia.

Com o nosso entusiasmo

Amor e sinceridade

Pode chegar a bonança

Seremos fraternidade.

Tudo está interligado

Cada qual seu dom, sua missão.

Neste universo integrado

Viver não é nunca em vão.

Hoje acordei com uma infinita saudade do meu Pai. Aqui fica o seu poema aos Pais dele (meus avós que nunca conheci), que partiram era ele criança ainda.

Queridos Pais - Carlos dos Santos Redondo

Era menino ainda, queridos Pais,
E fiquei só, na vida, a soluçar.
Intercedei que um dia, enfim contente,
O filho que ficou e tanto amais
Vos possa ir beijar
Eternamente.
