De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayari
(Repeat x3)

El cariño que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar

Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el 'jibe'
A Chan Chan le daba pena

Limpia el camino de pajas
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayari
(Repeat x3)

(Instrumental solo)

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayari
(Repeat x2)

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Llego a Cueto voy (slowly) para Mayari

Lao Tzu

The sage is like water.
Water is good, nourishes all things,
and does not compete with them.
It dwells in humble places that others disdain,
hence it is close to the Tao.
In his dwelling, the sage loves the earth.
In his mind, he loves what is profound.
In his associations, he is kind and gentle.
In his speech, he is sincere.
In his ruling, he is just.
In business, he is proficient.
In his action, he is timely.
Because he does not compete,
he does not find fault in others.

— Lao Tzu (604-517 BC)
Tao Te Ching, VIII

Olavo Bilac - Poema dos Reis Magos

Olavo Bilac - Poema dos Reis Magos

Diz a Sagrada Escritura
Que, quando Jesus nasceu,
No céu, fulgurante e pura,
Uma estrela apareceu.

Estrela nova … Brilhava
Mais do que as outras; porém
Caminhava, caminhava
Para os lados de Belém.

Avistando-a, os três Reis Magos
Disseram: “Nasceu Jesus!”
Olharam-na com afagos,
Seguiram a sua luz.

E foram andando, andando,
Dia e noite a caminhar;
Viam a estrela brilhando,
sempre o caminho a indicar.

Ora, dos três caminhantes,
Dois eram brancos: o sol
Não lhes tisnara os semblantes
Tão claros como o arrebol

Era o terceiro somente
Escuro de fazer dó …
Os outros iam na frente;
Ele ia afastado e só.

Nascera assim negro, e tinha
A cor da noite na tez:
Por isso tão triste vinha …
Era o mais feio dos três!

Andaram. E, um belo dia,
Da jornada o fim chegou;
E, sobre uma estrebaria,
A estrela errante parou.

E os Magos viram que, ao fundo
Do presépio, vendo-os vir,
O Salvador deste mundo
Estava, lindo, a sorrir

Ajoelharam-se, rezaram
Humildes, postos no chão;
E ao Deus-Menino beijaram
A alava e pequenina mão.

E Jesus os contemplava
A todos com o mesmo amor,
Porque, olhando-os, não olhava
A diferença da cor …

Tom Waits - If i have to go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jyVZNrWkow

If I have to go will you remember me
will you find someone else while I'm away
there's nothing for me in this world full of strangers
it's all someone else's idea
I don't belong here and you can't go with me
you'll only slow me down

until I send for you don't wear your hair that way
if you cannot be true I'll understand
tell all the others you'll hold in your arms
that I said I'd come back for you
I'll leave my jacket to keep you warm
that's all that I can do

if I have to go will you remember me
will you find someone else while I'm away

Scorpions - Still Loving You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pep6nREBpS8

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you,
I'm still loving you,
I'm still loving you, I need your love
I'm still loving you, (I'm still loving you baby)

I'm Still Loving you, I need your love
I'm still Loving you, I need your love

I need your love 

Led Zeppelin - All of My Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0DAnu5Sq6k

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light?
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end

For many hours and days that passes ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

All of my love, all of my love
Oh all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
Oh all of my love to you now

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin

All of my love, all of my love
Oh all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
Yeah all of my love to you child

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

All of my love, all of my love
Oh all of my love to you now

All of my love, oh love yes
All of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love, love

Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh yeah, it's all, all, all of my love
All of my love, all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love, to, to you and you, and you and yeah

I get a bit lonely, just standing up
Just standing up
Just standing up lonely
Just I get a bit lonely

Ella Fitzgerald- If you ever change your mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuVnbI5zLM8

I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses as the sun begins to shine
Sweet perfume in tiny jeweled caskets
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would take you where the music's sweetest
And feed you winter fruits and summer wine
Show you things you've only read in story books
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you summer rain and rainbow skies to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow my songs would keep you from the cold

But what use of flowers in the morning
When the garden they should grow in is not mine
And what use is sunshine if I'm crying
And my falling tears are mingled with the wine

I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you rainbow skies
And summer rain to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow my songs would keep you from the cold

I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses when the sun begins to shine
Winter fruits and summer wine
Sweet perfume and columbine
If I thought you'd ever change your mind
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

William Shakespeare

O amor não vê com os olhos, vê com a mente; por isso é alado, é cego e tão potente.

William Shakespeare, in "Sonho de uma Noite de Verão (1595-1596)" no Ato I - Cena I: Helena.

OXUM

Orá iiê Oxum,

Salve dourada senhora da pele de ouro,

benditas são suas águas, 

e essas mesmas águas lavam meu ser, e me livram do mal.

Oxum, Divina Rainha, bela orixá,

venha a mim caminhando na Lua cheia.

Traga mãe, em suas mãos, os lírios do amor e da paz.

Torne-me doce, sedutora, suave, como és.

Mamãe Oxum, me proteja, orixá.

Que o amor seja constante em minha vida.

Que eu possa amar a tudo que existe.

Me proteja contra as mandigas e feitiçarias.

Dê a mim o néctar da sua doçura.

E que eu consiga (faça o pedido).

Mãe de ouro, da beleza e do amor,

senhora do mais puro Axé,

valha-me hoje e sempre.

Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town 
'bout that shack outside La Grange 
And you know what I'm talkin' about. 
Just let me know if you wanna go 
To that home out on the range. 
They gotta lotta nice girls ah. 

Have mercy. 
A pow, pow, pow, pow, a pow. 
A pow, pow, pow. 

Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time 
And the ten to get yourself in. 
A hmm, hmm. 
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night, 
But now I might be mistaken. 
Hmm, hmm, hmm. 

Ah have mercy.

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Xl0Qry-hA&list=FLFVsZKACTaz1WehxkwNWCkA&index=531

I was five and he was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time

When I grew up I called him mine

He would always laugh and say

"Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, I shot you down

Bang bang, you hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, I used to shoot you down"

Music played and all people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I dont know why

Until this day, sometimes I cry

He didn't even say goodbye

He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Linda Perry - Fly away

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiqlN6ghG6I&list=FLbsO6VyKaU6s0Jr39VJm72w

Woman, how do you feel?

It looks like your gonna cry,

Is everything alright?

Are your days

Dropping you in a hole

No signals no signs

No reasons or rhymes

And just when you thought you'd be down on your knees

I'll say baby come with me please

And we'll just

Fly away

Fly away

Don't you need to get higher

Baby Baby Baby

I wanna get close to you

But I'm so afraid

Honey, I'm so afraid

That one day you'll wake up and realize your wasting time, your sweet time

When I pick up the phone

You're not alone

And there I'll be standing wondering what's wrong

I'll say oh baby take me along

And we will

Fly away

Fly away

Don't you need to get higher

No no no no

I don't know how you feel

Talk to me baby

Come with me baby

Come with me baby

And we will

Fly away

Fly away

Yes we need to get higher
