Cafofo do Nando

It's quiet as it is tonight
You almost think you were safe
Your eyes are full of surprises
as they cannot predict my fate

Waiting underneath the stars
There’s something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go

I barely couldn’t
I barely couldn’t recognize
but I've forgotten with
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I picked the way that you
wont’t even realize
Going through your own disguise

It’s like over and over
You pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
now it’s over
No more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do

You almost fooled yourself this time
But all the saints be graced
You hide your sadness behind your smile
And you keep your lost heart graced
The steps that edge on the ledge
Is much higher than it seems
I’ve been on that ledge before
You can’t hide yourself from me

I barely couldn’t
I barely couldn’t recognize
but I've forgotten with
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I picked the way that you
wont’t even realize
Going through your own disguise

It’s like over and over
You pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
now it’s over
No more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do...
[Madonna / Justin Timberlake]

Grita pra acontecer, urge de urgência
Sim irá prevalecer a reforma agrária do ar

É contra o artista mudo, é contra o ouvinte surdo
É contra o latifúndio das ondas do rádio

Aperta o botão e faz funcionar a reforma agrária do ar

Nos bairros distantes, nos alto-falantes do seu rádio
A rádio irá tocar
[Wado / Pedro Ivo Euzébio / Adriano Siri]

Quando encontrar alguém e esse alguém fizer seu coração parar de funcionar por alguns segundos, preste atenção: pode ser a pessoa mais importante da sua vida.
Se os olhares se cruzarem e, neste momento,houver o mesmo brilho intenso entre eles, fique alerta: pode ser a pessoa que você está esperando desde o dia em que nasceu.
Se o toque dos lábios for intenso, se o beijo for apaixonante, e os olhos se encherem d’água neste momento, perceba: existe algo mágico entre vocês.
Se o primeiro e o último pensamento do seu dia for essa pessoa, se a vontade de ficar juntos chegar a apertar o coração, agradeça: Deus te mandou um presente: O Amor.

Por isso, preste atenção nos sinais - não deixe que as loucuras do dia-a-dia o deixem cego para a melhor coisa da vida: O AMOR.
[Carlos Drummond de Andrade]

Quero, um dia, dizer às pessoas que nada foi em vão...
Que o amor existe, que vale a pena se doar às amizades e às pessoas, que a vida é bela sim e que eu sempre dei o melhor de mim...
e que valeu a pena.
[Mário Quintana]

Quero apenas cinco coisas..
Primeiro é o amor sem fim
A segunda é ver o outono
A terceira é o grave inverno
Em quarto lugar o verão
A quinta coisa são teus olhos
Não quero dormir sem teus olhos.
Não quero ser... sem que me olhes.
Abro mão da primavera para que continues me olhando.
[Pablo Neruda]

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Fire storey fire as you came
Love is a losing game

Why do I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
[Amy Winehouse]

Cada día pienso en tí
Pienso un poco más en tí
Despedazo mi razón
Se destruye algo de mi
Cada día pienso en tí
Pienso un poco más en tí

Cada día pienso en tí
Pienso un poco más en tí
Cada vez que sale el sol
Busco en algo el valor
Para continuar así
Y te veo asi no te toque
Rezo por ti cada noche
Amanece y pienso en tí
Y retumba en mis oidos
El tictac de los relojes
Y sigo pensando en tí

Y sigo pensando.....
[Shakira]

These are my hands, but what can they give me?
These are my eyes, but they cannot see
These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness
And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but

Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice, but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness
And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in

Love tried to break me

And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

[Love tried to break me]
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
[I was covered with dust, covered with sorrow]
Love tried to take me in
[Covered]

Still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
[Guilty of lust and sin]
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in

[Love tried to break me]
Love tried to welcome me
[Love tried to welcome me]
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
[But my soul drew back]
Love tried to take me in
[I was covered with sadness]

Love tried to welcome me...
[Madonna | Dave Hall]

When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.

When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.

Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.

Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?

Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.

If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love

Love for sale.
Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.

Love for sale.
Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.
Love for sale.
[Cole Porter]

Todas as cartas de amor são
Ridículas.
Não seriam cartas de amor se não fossem
Ridículas.

Também escrevi em meu tempo cartas de amor,
Como as outras,
Ridículas.

As cartas de amor, se há amor,
Têm de ser
Ridículas.

Mas, afinal,
Só as criaturas que nunca escreveram
Cartas de amor
É que são
Ridículas.

Quem me dera no tempo em que escrevia
Sem dar por isso
Cartas de amor
Ridículas.

A verdade é que hoje
As minhas memórias
Dessas cartas de amor
É que são
Ridículas.

(Todas as palavras esdrúxulas,
Como os sentimentos esdrúxulos,
São naturalmente
Ridículas.)

After the storm
Had passed
I wondered how long
The break in the clouds would last
I saw something in your eyes
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself

I sit and I wait
And I stare
Still wishing for a divine intervention
To lift me from my chair

I saw something in your eyes
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes

You and I have come so far
We've reached beyond the farthest star
Time and time and time again
I want you back
You were a friend
We can't pretend

I saw something in your eyes
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself
[Dave Gahan]

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventeen days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know we don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

The man said, "Why do you think you here?"
I said, "I got no idea"
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near

He said, "I just think you're depressed"
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest"

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black and when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go
[Amy Winehouse]

If these old walls,
If these old walls could speak
Of things that they remember well,
Stories and faces dearly held,
A couple in love
Livin' week to week,
Rooms full of laughter,
If these walls could speak.

If these old halls,
Hallowed halls could talk,
These would have a tale to tell
Of sun goin' down and dinner bell,
And children playing at hide and seek
From floor to rafter,
If these halls could speak.

They would tell you that I'm sorry
For bein' cold and blind and weak.
They would tell you that it's only
That I have a stubborn strreak,
If these walls could speak.

If these old fashioned window panes were eyes,
I guess they would have seen it all -
Each little tear and sigh and footfall,
And every dream that we came to seek
Or followed after,
If these walls could speak.

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you;
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you;
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

That's what these walls would say.

That's what these walls would say.
 [Amy Grant]

There's no more waiting
Holding out for love
You are my Godsend
That I have been forever dreaming of
My angel from above

Heaven knows
I'm head over heels and it shows
I've played every field I suppose
But there's something about you
When you're around
Baby I have found
I get lost in you

What is this feeling
I've never known before
That I should touch you
Swearing to surrender ever more
That's what I came here for

Heaven knows
I'm head over heels and it shows
I've played every field I suppose
But there's something about you
When you're around
Baby I have found
I get lost in a wonderful daze
Lost in your wonderful ways

Heaven knows

When you're around

Baby I have found
I get lost

Heaven knows
I'm head over heels and it shows
I've played every field I suppose
But there's something about you
When you're around
Baby I have found

Tô com saudade de tu, meu desejo
Tô com saudade do beijo e do mel
Do teu olhar carinhoso
Do teu abraço gostoso
De passear no teu céu
É tão difícil ficar sem você
O teu amor é gostoso demais
Teu cheiro me dá prazer
Quando estou com você
Estou nos braços da paz
Pensamento viaja
E vai buscar meu bem-querer
Não posso ser feliz, assim
Tem dó de mim
O que que eu posso fazer?
[Dominguinhos]

Tienen miedo del amor y no saber amar
Tienen miedo de la sombra y miedo de la luz
Tienen miedo de pedir y miedo de callar
Miedo que da miedo del miedo que da

Tienen miedo de subir y miedo de bajar
Tienen miedo de la noche y miedo del azul
Tienen miedo de escupir y miedo de aguantar
Miedo que da miedo del miedo que da

El miedo en una sombra que el temor no esquiva
El miedo as una trampa que atrapó al amor
El miedo es la palanca que apagó la vida
El miedo es una grieta que agrandó el dotor

Tenho medo de gente e de solidão
Tenho medo da vida e medo de morrer
Tenho medo de ficar e medo de escapulir
Medo que dá medo do medo que dá

Tenho medo de ascender e medo de apagar
Tenho medo de espera e medo de partir
Tenho medo de correr e medo de cair
Medo que dá medo do medo que dá

O medo é uma linha que separa o mundo
O medo é uma casa onde ninguém vai
O medo é como un laço que se aperta em nós
O medo é uma força que não me deixa andar

Tienen miedo de reir y miedo de llorar
Tienen miedo de ecnontrarse y miedo de no ser
Tienen miedo de decir y miedo de escuchar
Miedo que da miedo del miedo que da

Tenho medo de parar e medo de avnçar
Tenho medo de amarrar e medo de quebrar
Tenho medo de exigir e memdo de deixar
Medo que dá medo do medo que dá

O medo é uma sombra que o temor não desvia
O medo é uma armadilha que pegou o amor
O medo é uma chave que fez crescer a dor

El miedo es una raya que separa el mundo
El miedo es una casa donde nadie va
El miedo es como un lazo que se apierta en nudo
El miedo es una fuerza que me impide andar

Medo de olhar no fundo
Medo de dobrar a esquina
Medo de ficar no escuro
De passar em branco, de cruzar a linha
Medo de se acahar sozinho
De perder a rédea, a pose e o prumo
Medo de pedir arrego, medo de vagar sem rumo

Medo estampado na cara ou escondido no porão
Medo circulando nas veias ou em rota de colisão
Medo é de deus ou do demo? É ordem ou é confusão?
O medo é medonho
O medo domina
O medo é a medida da indecisão

Medo de fechar a cara, medo de encarar
Medo de calar a boca, medo de escutar
Medo de passar a perna, medo de cair
Medo de fazer de conta, medo de iludir

Medo de se arrepender
Medo de deixar por fazer
Medo de amargurar pelo que não se fez
Medo de perder a vez
Medo de fugir da raia na hora H
Medo de morrer na praia depois de beber o mar
Medo que dá medo do medo que dá
Medo que dá medo do medo que dá
[Pedro Guerra | Lenine | Robney Assis]

I look at you and see
Someone I don't wanna be
And it's taking me too long to realize
I'm better off alone
All the times that you told me lies
And you know that it happened from many times
And it's time that I realize
I'm better off alone

I'm leaving you now
I want you to know
I know what I want and I knew all along
I couldn't let go but I'm not gonna stay anymore
So I'm leaving baby
I can not forget all the pain that I've had
All the things that you said
How you're making me mad
And you've made me feel bad all alone
This time I'm moving on

I am leaving you this time
I'm not letting you play with my mind
And I moving with my life
This time I leaving you behind
All the times that you told me lies
And you know that it happened too many times
Now is time to realize
I'm better off alone

I'm leaving you now
I want you to know
I know what I want and I knew all along
I couldn't let go but I'm not gonna stay anymore
So I'm leaving baby
I can not forget all the pain that I've had
All the things that you said
How you're making me mad
And you've made me feel bad all alone
This time I'm moving on
I'm moving on!

I walk the lonely streets
I watch the people passing by
I used to smile and say hello
Guess I was just a happy girl

Then you happened, this feeling that posessses me
I just can't move myself
I guess it all just had to be

I used to have a brain
I used to think of many things
I used to watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing

Then you happened, this feeling that posessses me
I just can't move myself
I guess it all just had to be

Every single word you hear
Is coming from my heart
This heart of mine
I never felt like this before
A love like yours so young and fine
And now as I try to forget you
It doesn't work out any way
I loved you such a long time ago
But in my eyes you'll always stay

Then you happened, this feeling that posessses me
I just can't move myself
I guess it all just had to be
[Robin Gibb | Barry Gibb]

You take my love, you want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life, why can't you see what I want
Sharpen your senses and drawn the knife
Hold me and you'll understand

Chorus:
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
[You're a creature of the night]
Maria Magdalena
[You're a victim of the fight, you need love]
Promise me delight
[You need love]

Why must I lie, find any price
When will you wake up and realize I can't surrender to you
Play for affection and win the price
I know these party games too
[Repeat Chorus]

[Cretu]

I


Porque há desejo em mim, é tudo cintilância.
Antes, o cotidiano era um pensar alturas
Buscando Aquele Outro decantado
Surdo à minha humana ladradura.
Visgo e suor, pois nunca se faziam.
Hoje, de carne e osso, laborioso, lascivo
Tomas-me o corpo. E que descanso me dás
Depois das lidas. Sonhei penhascos
Quando havia o jardim aqui ao lado.
Pensei subidas onde não havia rastros.
Extasiada, fodo contigo
Ao invés de ganir diante do Nada.


IV

Se eu disser que vi um pássaro
Sobre o teu sexo, deverias crer?
E se não for verdade, em nada mudará o Universo.
Se eu disser que o desejo é Eternidade
Porque o instante arde interminável
Deverias crer? E se não for verdade
Tantos o disseram que talvez possa ser.
No desejo nos vêm sofomanias, adornos
Impudência, pejo. E agora digo que há um pássaro
Voando sobre o Tejo. Por que não posso
Pontilhar de inocência e poesia
Ossos, sangue, carne, o agora
E tudo isso em nós que se fará disforme?


V

Existe a noite, e existe o breu.
Noite é o velado coração de Deus
Esse que por pudor não mais procuro.
Breu é quando tu te afastas ou dizes
Que viajas, e um sol de gelo
Petrifica-me a cara e desobriga-me
De fidelidade e de conjura. O desejo
Este da carne, a mim não me faz medo.
Assim como me veio, também não me avassala.
Sabes por quê? Lutei com Aquele.
E dele também não fui lacaia.
[Hilda Hilst]

I came across a cache of old photos
and invitations to teenage parties
'Dress in white' one said with quotations
from someone's wife, a famous writer
in the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
in anyone who's ever gone
and opened up a closing door
She said we were never feeling bored

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end

When I went I left from the station
with a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said if you're not careful
you'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
in the nineteen-seventies
But I sat back and looking forward
my shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
and I would never find myself feeling bored

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with different faces
in rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
the creature that I always meant to be
but I thought in spite of dreams
you'd be sitting somewhere here with me

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend
[Tennant | Lowe]

Kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I never feel the same about anyone or
anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on these cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began he took your love away
But I still say

[Repeat Chorus]

So the words you could not say
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be my love
Well I've been loved so I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover I still miss... was Jesus to a child

On my way up north
Up on the ventura
I pulled back the hood
And I was talking to you
And I knew then it would be
A life long thing
But I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining

And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you

Things you said that day
Up on the 101
The girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it
With a bet about us
You said that-
You'd take it
As long as I could
I could not erase it

And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you

And I ride along side
And I rode along side
You then
And I rode along side
Till you lost me there
In the open road
And I rode along side
Till the honey spread
Itself so thin
For me to break your bread
For me to take your word
I had to steal it

And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
I could pick back up
Whenever I feel

Down new mexico way
Something about
The open road
I knew that he was
Looking for some indian blood and
Find a little in you find a little
In me we may be
On this road but
We're just
Impostors
In this country you know
So we go along and we said
We'd fake it
Feel better with
Oliver stone
Till I
Almost smacked him -
Seemed right that night and
I don't know what
Takes hold
Out there in the
Desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us

And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you

And I was ridin' by
Ridin' along side
For a while till you lost me
And I was ridin' by
Ridin' along till you lost me
Till you lost
Me in
The rear
View
You lost me
I said

Way up north I took my day
All in all was a pretty nice
Day and I put the hood
Right back where
You could taste heaven
Perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
Didn't know when we'd be back
And I - I don't -
Didn't think
We'd end up like
Like this

Another constellation dies
Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky
Just call me when the phone stops ringing
Thanks for coming by
I'm just glad I'm on your good side
Where it's smouldering or freezing
It's never all that easy to decide

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

And that's the nature of the chase
You fall so far behind you end in first place
Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own
regret
There's no harm in playing hard to get
Boundlessness deceives me
Baby you may turn the corner yet

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

To wherever you are
(I'm a'gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time is runnin' out
But now I'm on my way)

To wherever you are
(I'm a'gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time is runnin' out
But now I'm on my way)

To wherever you are
(I'm a'gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time is runnin' out
But now I'm on my way)
[Hoffman |Sellards]

You look like... a perfect fit,
For a girl in need... of a tourniquette.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like.
A long farewell... of the hunger strike.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

It struck me down, a Greyhound,
Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come... to save me.
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
But the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.

Come on and save me...
Why don't you save me?
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.
[Aimee Mann]
