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


George Michael (25 Jun 1963 – 25 Dez 2016)

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.
