Wake Up Dead Man
(U2)

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked-up world it is too.

Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be.

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free.

Your Father, He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven.
Will you put a word in for me?

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Were you working on something new?
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more?

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man.
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Tom Traubert's Blues
(Tom Waits)

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I've got what I paid for now
see ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
a couple of bucks from you, to go
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
Mathilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
and I'm tired of all these soldiers here
no one speaks English, and everything's broken
and my Stacys are soaking wet
to go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

now the dogs are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
a lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
you tore my shirt open
and I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger in
your silhouette window light go to go
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
Mathilda with me

now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
and the one-armed bandit knows, and the maverick Chinamen,
and the cold-blooded signs
and the girls down by the strip-tease shows go
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

no, I don't want your sympathy,
the fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
they want a piece of the action anyhow go
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

and you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor
and the old men in wheelchairs know
that Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
and she follows wherever you may go
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
Mathilda with me

and it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
and a wound that will never heal
no prima donna, the perfume is on
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
and goodnight to the street sweepers
the night watchman flame keepers
and goodnight to Mathilda too

Blackbird
(Lennon, McCartney)

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Unravel
(Björk)

while you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn

he'll never return it

so when you come back
we'll have to make new love

O Quereres
(Caetano Veloso)

Onde queres revólver sou coqueiro, onde queres dinheiro sou paixão
Onde queres descanso sou desejo, e onde sou só desejo queres não
E onde não queres nada, nada falta, e onde voas bem alta eu sou o chão
E onde pisas no chão minha alma salta, e ganha liberdade na amplidão

Onde queres família sou maluco, e onde queres romântico, burguês
Onde queres Leblon sou Pernambuco, e onde queres eunuco, garanhão
E onde queres o sim e o não, talvez, onde vês eu não vislumbro razão
Onde queres o lobo eu sou o irmão, e onde queres cowboy eu sou chinês

Ah, bruta flor do querer, ah, bruta flor, bruta flor

Onde queres o ato eu sou o espírito, e onde queres ternura eu sou tesão
Onde queres o livre decassílabo, e onde buscas o anjo eu sou mulher
Onde queres prazer sou o que dói, e onde queres tortura, mansidão
Onde queres o lar, revolução, e onde queres bandido eu sou o herói

Eu queria querer-te e amar o amor, construírmos dulcíssima prisão
E encontrar a mais justa adequação, tudo métrica e rima e nunca dor
Mas a vida é real e de viés, e vê só que cilada o amor me armou
E te quero e não queres como sou, não te quero e não queres como és

Ah, bruta flor do querer, ah, bruta flor, bruta flor

Onde queres comício, flipper vídeo, e onde queres romance, rock'n roll
Onde queres a lua eu sou o sol, onde a pura natura, o inceticídeo
E onde queres mistério eu sou a luz, onde queres um canto, o mundo inteiro
Onde queres quaresma, fevereiro, e onde queres coqueiro eu sou obus

O quereres e o estares sempre a fim do que em mim é de mim tão desigual
Faz-me querer-te bem, querer-te mal, bem a ti, mal ao quereres assim
Infinitivamente pessoal, e eu querendo querer-te sem ter fim
E querendo te aprender o total do querer que há e do que não há em mim

Charles On Sunday With Sunday Clothes
(Maria João & Mário Laginha)

Dreadful is how I feel
wearing this dark suit
Will I ever dare to dress
in white linen?

I desperately long for a bit
of fresh air.
Needless to say
how overwhelmed I am
by the immensity of colors that
dress you up, - INDIA

I am confused and so bewitched
madly in love with you,
addicted for ever.
May I humbly offer you a cup of tea?

Both Sides Now
(Joni Mitchell)

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love
Really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all

Love Is The Seventh Wave
(Sting)

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave

O Marco Marciano
(Lenine)

Pelos alto-falantes do Universo
vou louvar-vos aqui na minha loa
um trabalho que fiz noutro planeta
onde nave flutua e disco voa:
fiz meu Marco no solo marciano,
num deserto vermelho sem garoa.

Este Marco que eu fiz é fortaleza,
elevando ao quadrado Gibraltar!
Torreão, levadiça, raio-laser
e um sistema internet de radar;
não tem sonda nem nave tripulada
que consiga descer nem decolar.

Construí o meu Marco na certeza
que ninguém, cibernético ou humano,
poderia romper as minhas guardas
nem achar qualquer falha no meu plano.
Ficam todos em Fobos ou em Deimos
contemplando o meu Marco Marciano.

Construí o meu Marco gigantesco
num planalto cercado por montanhas
precipícios gelados e falésias
projetando no ar formas estranhas
como os muros ciclópicos de Tebas
e as fatais cordilheiras da Espanha.

O meu Marco tem rosto de pessoa
tem ruínas de ruas e cidades
tem muralhas, pirâmides e restos
de culturas, demônios, divindades;
a história de Marte soterrada
pelo efêmero pó das tempestades.

Bem na praça central, um monumento
embeleza meu Marco Marciano:
um granito em enigma recortado
pelos rudes martelos de Vulcano:
uma esfinge em perfil contra o poente
guardiã imortal do meu Arcano.

Esse Seu Olhar
(Tom Jobim)

Esse seu olhar
Quando encontra o meu
Fala de uma coisas
Que eu nem posso acreditar
Doce é sonhar é pensar que você
Gosta de mim / Como eu de você

Mas a ilusão /Quando se desfaz
Dói no coração
De quem sonhou sonhou demais
Ah se eu pudesse entender
O que dizem os seus olhos

When The World Ends
(Dave Mathews Band)

When the world ends
Collect your things
You're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We'll be lying in bed

I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends

When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're going to be crazy
Like a river bends
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
I'm going to be there with you somehow, oh...

I'm going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely
All the love that I would ever need
I'm going to take you by my side
And love you tall, ‘til the world ends

Oh, but don't you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me
Don't you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace

Oh, when the world ends
We'll be burning one
When the world ends
We'll be sweet makin' love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I'm going to take you aside and say
Let's watch it fade away, fade away
And the world's done
Ours just begun
It's done
Ours just begun

We're gonna dive into the emptiness
We'll be swimming
I'm going to walk you through the pathless roads
I'm going to take you to the top of the mountain that's no longer there
I'm going to take you to bed and love you, I swear
Like the end is here

I'm going to take you up to
I'm going to take you down on you
I'm going to hold you like an angel, angel

I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you
When the world ends
I'm going to hold you
When the world is over
We'll just be beginning...

Lately
(Stevie Wonder)

Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
with your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
You just say nothing's changed

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

God Only Knows
(Brian Wilson/ Tony Asher)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you

[break]

God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?

God only knows what I'd be without you

Córazon Partió
(Alejandro Sanz)

Tiritas pa este corazón partío.
Tiri-ti-tando de frío.
Tiritas pa este corazón partío,
pa este corazón partío.

Ya lo ves, que no hay dos sin tres,
que la vida va y viene y que no se detiene...
Y, qué sé yo,
pero miénteme aunque sea, dime que algo queda
entre nosotros dos, que en tu habitación
nunca sale el sol, ni existe el tiempo,
ni el dolor.

Llévame si quieres a perder,
a ningún destino, sin ningún por qué.

Ya lo sé, que corazón que no ve
es corazón que no siente,
o corazón que te miente amor.
Pero, sabes que en lo más profundo de mi alma
sigue aquel dolor por creer en ti
¿qué fue de la ilusión y de lo bello que es vivir?

Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herío
si hoy me dejas de nuevo con el corazón partío.

¿Quién me va a entregar sus emociones?
¿Quién me va a pedir que nunca le abandone?
¿Quién me tapará esta noche si hace frío?
¿Quién me va a curar el corazón partío?
¿Quién llenará de primaveras este enero,
y bajará la luna para que juguemos?
Dime, si tú te vas, dime cariño mío,
¿quién me va a curar el corazón partío?

Tiritas pa este corazón partío.
Tiritas pa este corazón partío.

Dar solamente aquello que te sobra
nunca fue compartir, sino dar limosna, amor.
Si no lo sabes tú, te lo digo yo.
Después de la tormenta siempre llega la calma.
pero, sé que después de ti,
después de ti no hay nada.

Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herío
si hoy me dejas de nuevo con el corazón partío.

¿Quién me va a entregar ...

Take Me Home
(Tom Waits)

take me home
you silly boy
put your arms around me
take me home
you silly boy
all the world's not round without you

I'm so sorry that I broke your heart
please don't leave my side
take me home
you silly boy
cause I'm still in love you

Cantiga (Caicó)
(Tema folclórico brasileiro)

...ó mana deixa eu ir
ó mana eu vou só
ó mana deixa eu ir
para o sertão do Caicó
Eu vou cantando
com uma aliança no dedo
eu aqui só tenho medo
do mestre Zé Mariano
Mariazinha botou flores na janela
pensando em vestido branco
véu e flores na capela
ó mana..
