I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her



Bright are the stars that shine

T.S.Eliot - Poema

Nós somos os homens ocos
Os homens empalhados
Uns nos outros amparados
O elmo cheio de nada. Ai de nós!
Nossas vozes dessecadas,
Quando juntos sussurramos,
São quietas e inexpressas
Como o vento na relva seca
Ou pés de ratos sobre cacos
Em nossa adega evaporada
Fôrma sem forma, sombra sem cor
Força paralisada, gesto sem vigor;
Aqueles que atravessaram
De olhos retos, para o outro reino da morte
Nos recordam - se o fazem - não como violentas
Almas danadas, mas apenas
Como os homens ocos
Os homens empalhados.

T.S.Eliot

THE BEATLES - OH! DARLING


Oh! Darling

Oh, darling.
Please believe me.
I'll never do you no harm.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Oh, darling.
If you leave me,
I'll never make it alone.
Believe me when I beg you,
Don't ever leave me alone.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Fell down and died.

Oh, darling.
If you leave me,
I'll never make it alone.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Believe me, darling.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Fell down and died.

Oh, darling.
Please believe me.
I'll never let you down.

Oh, believe me, darling.

Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

The Very Thought of You - Nat King Cole

The Very Thought of You

Nat King Cole


The Very Thought of You

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything



The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love






The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Billie Holiday

Etta James

The Beatles - A Day in the Life

A Day In The Life

(sugar, plum, fairy... sugar, plum, fairy.)
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph


He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.


I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book, I've loved to turn you on...


Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.


Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream


I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I've loved to turn you on.

Nina Simone - Here Comes The Sun (Francois K. Remix)

Nina Simone - Here Comes The Sun 


Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right
Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right

Little Darlin, it's been a long cold and lonely winter,
Little Darlin, it feels like years since you've been here

Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right

Little Darlin, the smiles have returned to the faces now,
Little Darlin, it seems like years since you've been here

It's been a long cold lonely winter,
Little Darlin it feels like years since you've been here
Here somes the sun, aren't you glad to see it, I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, I say It's alright, Little Darlin

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun I say, Little Darlin,
It seems like years since you've been here
Little Darlin, here comes the sun, it's all right
You can come on out

THE BEATLES I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)

Lennon / McCartney
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you,
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you
I want you so bad babe
I want you,
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
Yeah.
I want you
I want you so bad babe
I want you,
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you,
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
Yeah.

She's so heavy heavy.

Let there be love - Nat King Cole

NAT KING COLE - LET THERE BE LOVE by IAN GRANT, LIONEL RAND 

Let there be you,
Let there be me. 
Let there be oysters
Under the sea.
Let there be wind,
An occassional rain.
Chile con carne,
Sparkling champagne --Let there be birds
To sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze.
Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please --
Let there be love.
Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dov

Maybe I Was Born to Hold You In These Arms - the swell season

Maybe I Was Born to Hold You In These Arms



Use the truth
As a weapon
To beat up all your friends
Every chink in the armor
An excuse to cause offense
And the boys from the hallway
Calling out your name
And you love
Find them in the end
You are restles
I was somewhere less secure
So I went running to the row
And so now that the longest of places I was
I quit my rambling and come home
'Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

x2

And your saints
And your mantra
And you.... To keep you calm
If you stay
With that asshole
Is gonna do you harm
As the voice singing loudly on the radio

Just for you
And good fortune
Will find him in the end
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Jacques Prevert

Uma cidade escuta desolada
O canto de um pássaro ferido
É o único pássaro da cidade
E foi o único gato da cidade
Que o devorou pela metade
E o pássaro pára de cantar
O gato pára de ronronar
E de lamber o focinho
E a cidade prepara para o pássaro
Maravilhosos funerais
E o gato que foi convidado
Segue o caixãozinho de palha
Em que deitado está o pássaro morto
Levado por uma menina
Que não pára de chorar
Se soubesse que você ia sofrer tanto
Lhe diz o gato
Teria comido ele todinho
E depois teria te dito
Que tinha visto ele voar
Voar até o fim do mundo
Lá onde o longe é tão longe
Que de lá não se volta mais
Que você teria sofrido menos

Sentiria apenas tristeza e saudades

Não se deve deixar as coisas pela metade.

Jacques Prevert

Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais
Et tes larmes n'y pourront rien changer
Comm'dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"
Je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais
Tu t'souviens des jours anciens et tu pleures
Tu suffoques, tu blémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure
Des adieux à jamais
Oui je suis au regret
D'te dir'que je m'en vais
Oui je t'aimais, oui, mais
Je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais
Tes sanglots longs n'y pourront rien changer
Comm'dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"
Je suis venu d'te dir'que je m'en vais
Tu t'souviens des jours heureux et tu pleures
Tu sanglotes, tu gémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure
Des adieux à jamais
Oui je suis au regret
D'te dir'que je m'en vais
Car tu m'en as trop fait
Je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais
Et tes larmes n'y pourront rien changer
Comm'dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"
Je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais
Tu t'souviens des jours anciens et tu pleures
Tu suffoques, tu blémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure
Des adieux à jamais
Oui je suis au regret
D'te dir'que je m'en vais
Oui je t'aimais, oui, mais
Je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais
Tes sanglots longs n'y pourront rien changer
Comm'dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"
Je suis venu d'te dir'que je m'en vais
Tu t'souviens des jours heureux et tu pleures
Tu sanglotes, tu gémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure

Oui je suis au regret

Car tu m'en as trop fait


Chet Baker - I'm a Fool to Want You

Chet Baker - I'm a Fool to Want You


I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss the Devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say I'm a fool to want you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say Take me back, I love you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you

Tom Waits - Lonely

Tom Waits - Lonely


Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely face, lonely lonely in your place.
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely face, lonely lonely in your place.

I thought that I knew all that there was to, lonely, lonely, lonely...

Melanie Jane, won't feel the pain.
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely eyes, lonely lonely in your place.

And I thought that I knew all that there was to
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely eyes, lonely lonely in your place, and
I still love you, I still love you, lonely, lonely...

John Legend - Each Day Gets Better

Each Day Gets Better

Ooooohhh...



Where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo



I'll write a song
I thought about it for far to long
But I Never had someone to sing about
Until I meet her and each days get better
Nobody knows
Nobody sees
Nobody else understands me like she
Now there I Know what true love means
I Just hope she stays with me



Where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo



She Wants to breathe
She wants to be where the grass is green
She wants to know how love supposed to be
She wants it better
I want just let her know
She belongs right here with me
She's all that I make her see
I make her fall
Make her believe
I promised her that I never leave



And where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can't let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo



I Just Had to write a song about her
Tell her I don't wanna leave without her
Tell her that I would build my world around her
Deeper and deeper
Sweeter and sweeter
I'll never leave her alone



And where do we go who knows
But each day gets better
I just can let her go
(oooh, oh no)
Each kiss gets sweeter
I just can leave her noo



Each day gets better
I just can let her go



Each day kiss gets sweeter

Cada dia fica melhor

Oooooohhh...



Onde nós vamos quem sabe
Mas cada dia fica melhor
Eu só posso deixá-la ir
(oooh, oh não)
Cada beijo fica mais doce
Eu só posso deixá-la noo



Vou escrever uma canção
Eu pensei sobre isso por muito tempo
Mas eu nunca tive alguém para cantar sobre
Até eu conhece-la e cada dia ficar melhor
Ninguém sabe
Ninguém vê
Ninguém me entende como ela
Agora eu sei o que significa o amor verdadeiro
Só espero que ela fica comigo



Onde nós vamos quem sabe
Mas cada dia fica melhor
Eu só posso deixá-la ir
(oooh, oh não)
Cada beijo fica mais doce
Eu só posso deixá-la noo



Ela quer respirar
Ela quer estar onde a grama é mais verde
Ela quer saber como o amor deveria ser
Ela quer o melhor
Eu quero apenas deixar que ela sabe
Ela pertence aqui comigo
Ela é tudo que eu faço ela ver
Faço-a cair
Faço-a acreditar
Eu prometi-lhe que nunca vou deixa-la



Onde nós vamos quem sabe
Mas cada dia fica melhor
Eu só posso deixá-la ir
(oooh, oh não)
Cada beijo fica mais doce
Eu só posso deixá-la noo
Cada beijo fica mais doce
Eu só posso deixá-la nooo



Eu tinha acabado de escrever uma canção sobre ela
Diga a ela que eu não quero sair sem ela
Diga a ela que gostaria de construir meu mundo ao seu redor
Fundo e fundo
Doce e doce
Eu nunca vou deixá-la sozinha



E para onde vamos quem sabe
Mas cada dia fica melhor
Eu só posso deixá-la ir
(oooh, oh não)
Cada beijo fica mais doce
Eu só posso deixá-la noo



Cada dia fica melhor
Eu só posso deixá-la ir
