Bahia, My Black

Bahia1, my black
How will it be
If your arrow hits the path and arrives there?
And the straight line curve
If it goes beyond that blue black that mourns you
The sea, the sea?
Cook this song,
Buy the equipment and know how to use it
Sell your talent and know how to charge, how to make a profit
Insist on what is beautiful
And the world will see
You return laughing to the place
That is yours in the blue globe
Queen of the South Atlantic
 
Hey! Bahia, mythical fountain, enchanted
Hey! Expand your axé2, hide nothing
Your singing of joy echoes far and wide, in time and space
Queen of the Atlantic
 
I call you Lady
Opô, Afonjá
Eros, Dona Lina, Agostinho and Edgar
I call you Little Girl of Gantois
Candolina, Marta, Didi, Dodô and Osmar 3
In the romantic vein
Your new world
The world will know
And what is hidden deep within will emerge4
And the Mediterranean and forest voice
Throw far beyond the civilisation now in a boreal tone
Queen of the southern Atlantic

Taking Care of You From Afar

A Lonely
Love is also love
A little bird told me
That you're not just
What you're appeared to be
I know
You hardly know who I am
Or from where this love was born
You never wasted your time trying to convince me
You look at yourself so much in the mirror
And don't see it your inside out
Your most beautiful part
You try to keep it hidden
Behind your hair
Inside those black eyes
And from his confused life
Who knows one day this will change
And you stop to notice me
 
I'm taking care of you from afar
I'm loving you from my little corner of the world
Say you're happy
And I will keep getting by from here
And if I'm far away
It doesn't mean I don't love you
I'm rehearsing for our farewell
Even while having other plans
 

A Sunday

Versions: #1
I need to talk to you
Meet you no matter how
To sit and talk
And then walk
Against the wind
 
I need to breathe
The same air that surrounds you
And in my skin I want
The same sun that makes you tanned
 
I need to touch you
And once more see you smiling
And come back in a beautiful dream
 
I can't live anymore
A meaningless feeling
I need to discover
The emotion of being with you
 
See the sun rise
And see life go by
Like a Sunday
 
Pretend it's still early
We'll just follow
Our emotions
Pretend it's still early
And let the voice
Of your heart speak up
 

I Need That Smile of Yours

I need that love of yours
Oh my love, how bad I need it
I can't live any longer
Without your kisses, your smiles
 
I need to be with you
Because living without you
Is living to cry
 
Speak, my love,
Say, my love
That you won't mistreat me
 
Wait for me, my love
Stay, my love
Or take me to live with you
 
And wherever you go
Wherever it may be
Take me, take me
 
Say, my love, and I'll go
Wherever it may be in your world
If you take me, I'm coming
 

The Love

Maybe
Who knows
One day
By some avenue
She'll come too
She who's also
Loved the animals
Smiling will enter
Just like it is
On the picture over the table
 
She is so beautiful
She is so beautiful
That for sure
They'll resurrect her
The 30th century will win
The heart already shattered
By the meanness
 
Now we'll reach
All that
We can't love in life
Like the starry
From the numberless nights
 
Resurrect me
Even
If its not anymore
Because I'm a poet
And longed for the future
 
Resurrect me
Fighting
Against the misery
From daily life
Resurrect for that
 
Resurrect me
I want to continuate living
Whats is designated for me
My life
So no longer
Servant love exists
 
Resurrect me
So nobody'll ever
Have to sacrifice itself
For a home
A hole
 
Resurrect me
So from today on
From today on
The family will transform itself
 
And the father
Will be at least
The universe
And the mother
Will be at least
The Earth
The Earth
The Earth
 

Divine Wonderful

Attention when turning a corner
A joy, pay attention girl
Come here, how old are you?
Attention, you must have steady eyes
To this sun, to this darkness
 
Attention
Everything is dangerous
Everything is divine, wonderful
Attention to the chorus
You must be alert and strong
We have no time to fear death
 
Attention to the verse and the chorus
To the swear word, to the command
Attention to the samba, exaltation
 
Attention
Everything is dangerous
Everything is divine, wonderful
Attention to the chorus
You must be alert and strong
We have no time to fear death
 
Attention to the windows up there
Attention when treading the asphalt, the mangrove
Attention to the blood on the floor
 
Attention
Everything is dangerous
Everything is divine, wonderful
Attention to the chorus
You must be alert and strong
We have no time to fear death
 

Topaz

Kremlin, Berlim
Just to see you and be able to laugh
Lights, jasmin
My heart, chattered vase
Illusion, run away
From the border of topaz and yarn
to rubi
Seduction, be able to dream
Stupidity
You break and broke me
Just to dusk what is already dark
No one kissed me more pure
I'm remembering you
Once
Kremlim, Berlim
To not say Tel Aviv
Illusion
To run away from myself
 

Someone Told Me

Someone told you've been once more
Loving someone else, a new lover, you're so happy
 
I really know your promisses
I've already heard promisses like these
 
The way you deceive people
I really know it
 
I don't even care if you kiss
So many times
 
And if you keep changing lovers
Every month
 
If you're going to kiss like I know you are
You're going to make someone dream like I dreamed
 
But without having the same love
That I gave you
 

Road of The Sun

It's morning now
Here comes the Sun
But the raindrops
Which fell yesterday
Are still shinning
Are still dancing
With the joyful wind
Which brings me this song
 
I want you to
Hold myhand
Let's stray
Without thinking about
What I've dreamed
What I've cried and struggled
Because our morning
Has just made me forget
Hold my hand
Let's go out to see the Sun
 

Odara

Let me dance
So that my body turns into Odara
My face
My head turns into Odara
Let me sing
So that the world turns into Odara
So that everything turns into a rare jewel*
Anything that was dreamed
I sing and dance that gives**
 

Birdie

Singing like a birdie
Early in the morning
There on the branch of the grove
By the riverbank
Flap your wings, birdie
Because I want to fly
Flap your wings, birdie
Because I want to fly
 
Take me to the window of the girl
Who I want to love
Take me to her window
Because I want to sing
Singing like a birdie
Early in the morning
There on the branches of the grove
By the riverbank
Singing like a birdie
Like a birdie
Singing like a birdie
Like a birdie.
