12 desejos

I
Vou viver, até quando eu não sei.
Que me importa o que serei..
Quero é viver.
Amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã,
e acredito que será mais um prazer.
E a vida é sempre uma curiosidade
que me desperta com a idade,
interessa-me o que está para vir.
A vida em mim é sempre uma certeza
que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir.
Encontrar, renovar, vou fugir ao repetir.

Para ver
Para dar
Para estar
Para ter
Para ir
Pra ouvir
Pra sorrir e entrar
Para rir
Pra voltar
A tentar
Pra sentir
E mudar
Pra voltar a cair
Para me levantar
Para nunca mais tentar
Mentir
Pra crescer
Para amar
Para ser
O lugar
Pra viver
E gostar
De gostar
De viver
Pra fugir
Pra mostrar
Pra dizer
Pra ter paz
Pra dormir
Pra fingir acordar
Para ser
Derramar
Para nunca mais tentar
Mentir

Took a ride to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes,
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know,
But the pain and the longing's the same when you're dying,
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help, alone.
Relax, take it easy,
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy,
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax,
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand
but the last thing on my mind Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.
Relax, take it easy,
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy,
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Relax.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax.

Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
through your weakest moments
to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares, only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright, for now
Crosses all over, heavy on your shoulders
The sirens inside you
waiting to step forward
Disturbing silence darkens your sight
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright, for now
Crosses all over the boulevard
The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring, they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be all right
Cast some light and you’ll be alright

Ó senhor da loja, já que a vida é curta, diga-me lá, se souber quantos metros tem a dor. E já que ainda por cima a vida é pesada diga-me lá, se puder, quantos quilos tem o amor. E já que a paciência tem os seus limites diga-me lá quantos são, que é p'ra eu saber se espero ou não quando for desesperar. Ó senhor da loja, já que a vida é bela, diga-me lá se souber em que espelho a devo olhar. Mas, se por outro lado, diz que a vida é dura, arranje-me aí, se tiver, um capacete p'ra eu marrar. E já que a vida é feita de pequenos nadas guarde-me aí quatro ou cinco que é p'ra quando for domingo eu os poder saborear. Ó senhor da loja, já que a vida é breve, arranje-me aí os ponteiros dum relógio que atrasar. E já que no fundo vai tudo dar ao mesmo diga-me se o mesmo é mesmo tudo o que ainda vai mudar. E já que é preciso deitar contas à vida, desconte-me aí os meses em que apenas fiz as vezes doutro que não era eu. Já que a vida é curta e o futuro diz que está aqui já (sei lá), já que o futuro vem em peças separadas p'ra montar (ah! ah! ah! ah!), antes que se esgote reserve desde já o seu exemplar. Caramba, está-se p'raqui a dançar na corda bamba sem se saber para que lado é que se cai nem com que pé é que se samba.

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Deixar a luz entrar
Sentir de novo
Aquela dor
Pedoar
Há tanto tempo que eu queria mudar
A corpo a corpo respirar
Aquele amor que foi
Perdoar
Sentir de novo
Aquela dor
A pouco a pouco respirar
Aquele amor que foi
Vivido e esquecido
Em segredo
Como ninguém
Perdoar
Como perdoar
Há tanto tempo que eu queria mudar
Queria voltar
Acordar
Deixar o dia passar devagar
Assim ficar
Sentir de novo
Aquele amor
A pouco a pouco consolar
Aquela dor que foi sentida e sofrida
Em silêncio
Chegar de novo
Sentir o amor
Voltar a casa sem pensar
Deixar a luz entrar
Esquecer aquela mágoa
Sem ter medo
Como ninguém
Encontrar
Poder encontrar
Todas as coisas que eu não soube dar
Saber amar
Perdoar
Saber perdoar
Há tanto tempo que eu queria mudar
Queria voltar
Aceitar
Deixar que o tempo te faça voltar
Saber esperar

Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We’re going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night)
Yeah, once you get started
You can’t sit down
Come join the fun
It’s a merry go round
Everyone’s dancing
Their troubles away
Come join our party
See how we play!
Oh, yes
Were going to have a party!
All night long! (all night)
All night long!
Everyone you meet
They’re jamming in the street
All night long!
Feel good! Feel good!

Have you ever wondered why those days exist
When life just seems to be the conspiracy against you
I don't know where the answers lie
But I try not to get hung up on the questions
I burn like a good bonfire
In whatever I do
I burn like a good bonfire
And I know I'll come through
The time is long overdue for us
As cleaving all of our souls
We all get so complicated in our lives
When walking just walk, when sitting just sit, when being just be
Above all don't stray from your chosen path
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And I know you'll come through
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And may peace come to you
The time is long overdue for us cleaving all of our souls
We all get so complicated in our lives
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Just burn like a good bonfire
And I know you'll come through
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And may strength flow through you

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your isle.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me,
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang "Touch me not, touch me not,
Come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Here me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, Here I am, waiting to hold you.

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

XII
I slide myself forward
Through my head
I think half way
Backwards
See myself sing the anthem
That we wrote together
We had a dream
We had everything
We rode to the end of the world
We sode searching
Climbed skyscrapers
That later exploded
The peace was out
I leak balance
Fall down
I slide myself forward
Through my head
I always come back to the same place
Total silence
No answer
But the best thing god has created is a new day
