"Driven To Tears"


How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Frank Sinatra

They call you lady luck,
But there is room for doubt,
At times you've had a very unlady like way
Of running out.
You're on this date with me,
The pickens have been lush,
And yet before this evening is over you might give me the brush,
You might forget your manners,
You might refuse to stay,
And so the best that I can do is pray...
Luck be a lady tonight, luck be a lady tonight,
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with,
Luck be a lady tonight.
Luck let a gentlemen see,
How nice a dame you can be,
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with,
Luck be a lady with me.
A lady doesn't leave her escourt,
It isn't fair, it isn't nice,
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice.
Let's keep this party polite,
Never get out of my sight,
Stick me with me baby
I'm the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady tonight.
Luck let a gentleman see,
Just how nice, how nice a dame you can be,
I know the way you've treated other guy's you've been with,
Luck be a lady with me.
A lady doesn't leave her escourt,
It isn't fair and it's not nice,
A lady doesn't wonder all over the room,
And blow on some other guys dice.
So let's keep the party polite,
Never get out of my sight,
Sick with me baby I'm the guy you came in with,
Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady, tonight.

Mind Games - Kevin Spacey

John Lennon

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love...
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)

SETE VÉUS - Fátima Guedes

SETE VÉUS - Fátima Guedes



Vou despir pra você
cada um dos meus sete véus,
os perfumes das ervas
mais raras me cobrirão.
Você vai finalmente alcançar os céus
pra queimar nos infernos da paixão.
Vou despir minhas sete mentiras pra te agradar
cada um dos meus sete pecados todos no chão.
Vai beber no meu corpo a mais pura água
pra morrer nos desertos da paixão.
Quando você me olhar assim à luz da lua
vai fugir dos meus olhos o brilho da razão
Você vai me ver como ninguém mais me vê,
vai penar a cegueira da paixão.
Quando você me olhar assim tão só, tão nua
vai beijar minha boca de luz, veneno e mel.
Depois vai morrer com a vida que eu vou lhe dar
quando cair de mim o último véu.


TRADUZIR-SE - Ferreira Gullar

TRADUZIR-SE

Uma parte de mim
é todo mundo:
outra parte é ninguém:
fundo sem fundo.

uma parte de mim
é multidão:
outra parte estranheza
e solidão.

Uma parte de mim
pesa, pondera:
outra parte
delira.

Uma parte de mim
é permanente:
outra parte
se sabe de repente.

Uma parte de mim
é só vertigem:
outra parte,
linguagem.

Traduzir-se uma parte
na outra parte
- que é uma questão
de vida ou morte -
será arte?

Ferreira Gullar

Otis Redding - A Change is Gonna Come

Otis Redding - A Change is Gonna Come


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FUXeg-elgM


I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Carla Bruni - You Belong To Me


You Belong To Me
http://www.vagalume.com.br/carla-bruni/you-belong-to-me-traducao.html

See the Pyramids
Along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
On a tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me

See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs
And souvenirs
Just remember
'Til your dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone
Without you
Maybe
You'll be lonesome, too
Maybe
You'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When its wet with rains
Just remember
Till you're home again
Or until
I come home to you
You belong to me




Led Zeppelin - Your Time Is Gonna Come

Led Zeppelin - Your Time Is Gonna Come


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLuE6ftUI2g


Your Time Is Gonna Come

Lying, cheating, hurting, that's all you seem to do
Messing around with every guy in town
Putting me down for thinking of someone new
Always the same, playing your game

Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman

Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come

Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fading away, can't feel you anymore

Don't care what you say
'Cause I'm going away to stay
Gonna make you pay
For that great big hole in my heart

People talking all around, watch out woman
No longer is the joke gonna be on my heart
You been bad to me woman
But it's coming back home to you

Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come

Carpenters - YOU

YOU



You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet
Listening to me
And all the mad sense I make

You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me
Than you

Sorry if sometimes I look past you
There's no one beyond your eyes
Inside my head wheels are turning
Hey, sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul
My inspiration
Just like the old love song goes

You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me
Than you

You are my heart and my soul
My inspiration
Just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me
Than you

Nana Caymmi - Segue o Teu Destino

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAjS2mAGdps

SEGUE O TEU DESTINO
(Fernando Pessoa/ Sueli Costa)

Segue o teu destino
Rega as tuas plantas
Ama as tuas rosas
O resto é a sombra
De árvores alheias

A realidade
Sempre é mais ou menos
Do que nós queremos
Só nós somos sempre
Iguais a nós próprios.

Suave é viver só
Grande e nobre é sempre
Viver simplesmente
Deixa a dor nas aras
Como ex-voto aos deuses

Vê de longe a vida
Nunca a interrogues
A resposta está além dos deuses.

Mas serenamente
Imita o Olimpo
No teu coração
Os deuses são deuses
Porque não se pensam

Lêdo Ivo - Soneto da Conciliação, 1948.

Soneto da Conciliação

Que o amor não me iluda, como a bruma
que esconde uma imprevista segurança.
Antes, sustente o chão em que descansa
o que se irá, perdido como a espuma.
Veja que eu me elegi, mas sem nenhuma
razão de assim fazer, e sem lembrança
de aproveitar apenas a esquivança
de que o amor não prescinde em parte alguma.
Que também não se alheie ao que esclarece
o motivo real, de uma oferta,
reunir o acessório e o imprescindível.
Antes, atente a tudo o que se tece
distante do seu dia inconsumível
que dá certeza à noite mais incerta.

Lêdo Ivo, in "Acontecimento do Soneto", 1948.

Hilda Hilst - Da noite, VIII

Costuro o infinito sobre o peito.
E no entanto sou água fugidia e amarga.
e sou crível e antiga como aquilo que vês:
Pedras, frontões no Todo inamovível.
Terrena, me adivinho montanha algumas vezes.
Recente, inumana, inexprimível
Costuro o infinito sobre o peito
Como aqueles que amam.

Hilda Hilst - Da noite, VIII
