Santa In A T-Shirt

Santa Claus will come in a T-Shirt
Using a flipflop and jeans shorts
Playing the agogô instead of the bells
Singing his namesake's1 'Palpite Infeliz'...who wrote this song
Then, it will be Christmas Day
The night will be happier
 
He will extend a towel on the gutters
Of every suburban square of the country
He will bring liquor, rice, beans, chili pepper
Dulce de leche, gummy beans and quindim2
Then, it will be Christmas Day
The night will be happier
 
And children blocks will come over
From their newspaper beds
And drag-queens
Carnaval's thin men3
With their feet on the ground
Soldiers of passion
A bandoline
Someone will bring along a guitar
A tambourine
And the crowd will dance as the bells ring
 
Back on the hill, another boy will be born
And in sunrise, kiskadees will come
On Christmas Day
We can be happy
 
And children blocks will come over
From their newspaper beds
And drag-queens
Carnaval's thin men3
With their feet on the ground
Soldiers of passion
A bandoline
Someone will bring along a guitar
A tambourine
And the crowd will dance as the bells ring
 
Back on the hill, another boy will be born
And in sunrise, kiskadees will come
On Christmas Day
We can be happy
 
Back on the hill, another boy will be born
And in sunrise, kiskadees will come
On Christmas Day
We can be happy
Happy, happy...

EMILIA • WRONG ADDRESS





An old story, you and I, once in love, a perfect tie.
We were happy, heart to heart, but now we’ve fallen apart.
I’m just a memory—get used to it!
Go to her now, let anger hit.
 

Run away, just leave me be.
I’ve had enough of your lies, you see.
You deserve to be alone in pain
No turning back—it’s all in vain.
 

At night, you’d call me, craving more.
With her, was it better than before?
My number’s gone, don’t try to find,
I’ve left it all behind.
 

When I was hurting, where did you stay?
With someone else, you chose to play.
Drink all you want—it won’t make me care.
Search for me, but I’m not there.
 

Remember the days I hid my tears?
Now you burn with the same fears.
Keep your words, they mean no more,
You killed the love we had before.

I will Win (I Wanna Be a Hero) credits version





Starting a long journey...
Opening a new page
 

I will win! (Win!)
Pokémon for the advanced!
(The advanced!)
I will win! (Win!)
I will touch the clouds...
And I'll prove to everyone...
Who's the best, the best in the world...
I will win!
Pokémon!

Heavenly clouds





Oh, heavenly clouds, eternal wanderers!
Over an azure steppe, a pearly brethren
Akin to myself, you travelers hasten
From the dear north to course southern.
 

Then who is exiling you: is it fate’s verdict?
Is it the envy concealed? Is it malice in the open?
Or is there a crime that levees a burden?
Could it be slander by friends that is poison?
 

No, you are fatigued by fields that stay barren…
Foreign are passions to you and the suffering alien
Always cold-bloodied, always independent,
You have no homeland, know not of banishment.

The solitary man of the night





The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
I have departed, solitary and dejected
Severed my heart from the all
The loneliest of the lonely, sorrowful and disgraced
The one alone and without a tomorrow, that is me
The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
 

The solitary man of the night, I am
Hundreds of untold stories linger on my lips
I have departed from your city
Packed my rucksack and left
Without the worry of tomorrow, with only myself, alone
The wanderer of these nights, that is who I am
Without the worry of tomorrow, with only myself, alone
The wanderer of these nights, that is who I am
 

The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
The solitary man of the night, I am
Hundreds of untold stories linger on my lips
