Wishful thinking

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.

Eu quis te conhecer, mas tenho que aceitar

Caberá ao nosso amor o eterno ou o não dá

Pode ser cruel a eternidade

Eu ando em frente por sentir vontade

Eu quis te convencer, mas chega de insistir

Caberá ao nosso amor o que há-de vir

Pode ser a eternidade má

Caminho em frente pra sentir saudade

Paper clips and crayons in my bed

Everybody thinks that I am sad

I'll take a ride in melodies and bees and birds

Will hear my words

Will be both us and you and them together

I can forget about myself

Trying to be everybody else

I feel alright that we can go away

And please my day

I'll let you stay with me if you surrender

Eu quis te conhecer mas tenho que aceitar

(I can forget about myself

Trying to be everybody else)

Caberá ao nosso amor o eterno ou o não dá

(I feel all right that we can go away)

Pode ser a eternidade má

(And please my day)

Eu ando sempre pra sentir vontade.

(I'll let you stay with me if you surrender)

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweaters
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no love
Ain't got no faith

Ain't got no culture, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no father, ain't got no brother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no aunts
Ain't got no uncles, ain't got no love
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no country, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no nothing
Ain't got no water, ain't got no air
Ain't got no smokes, ain't got no tickets
Ain't got..

Ain't got no water, ain't got no love
Ain't got no air, ain't got no god
Ain't got no wine, ain't got no money
Ain't got no air, ain't got no god
Ain't got no love

Then what have I got
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood

I've got life, I've got laugh
I've got headache and toothache
And bad times too like you

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobs
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood

I've got life
I've got my freedom
I've got life

Pode falar que eu não ligo,

Agora, amigo,

Eu tô em outra,

Eu tô ficando velha,

Eu tô ficando louca.

Pode avisar qu'eu não vou,

Oh oh oh...

Eu tô na estrada,

Eu nunca sei da hora,

Eu nunca sei de nada.

Nem vem tirar

Meu riso frouxo com algum conselho

Que hoje eu passei batom vermelho,

Eu tenho tido a alegria como dom

Em cada canto eu vejo o lado bom.

Pode falar qu'eu nem ligo,

Agora eu sigo

O meu nariz,

Respiro fundo e canto

Mesmo que um tanto rouca.

Pode falar, não importa

O que tenho de torta,

Eu tenho de feliz,

Eu vou cambaleando

De perna bamba e solta.

Nem vem tirar

Meu riso frouxo com algum conselho

Que hoje eu passei batom vermelho,

Eu tenho tido a alegria como dom

Em cada canto eu vejo o lado bom.

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I could never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it all and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance, would I take any of it back
It's a final mess but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I run into suffer and I run into hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
But why the hell did I let it happen to me, yeah

Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out, Shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

Riding on this know-how
Never been here before
Peculiarly entrusted
Possibly that's all
Is history recorded?
Does someone have a tape?
Surely, I'm no pioneer
Constellations stay the same

Just a little bit of danger
When intriguingly
Our little secret
Trusts that you trust me
'Cause no one will ever know
That this was happening
So tell me why you listen
When nobody's talking

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

estou de volta pro meu aconchego

trazendo na mala bastante saudade

querendo

um sorriso sincero, um abraço

para aliviar meu cansaço

e toda essa minha vontade

que bom

poder 'tá contigo de novo

roçando o teu corpo e beijando você

prá mim tu és a estrela mais linda

seus olhos me prendem, fascinam

a paz que eu gosto de ter

é duro ficar sem você

vez em quando

parece que falta um pedaço de mim

me alegro na hora de regressar

parece que eu vou mergulhar

na felicidade sem fim

IX

when all waters still
and flowers cover the earth
when no tree's shivering
and the dust settles in the desert

when i can take your hand
on any crowded street
and hold you close to me
with no hesitating

X

Everything, everything, everything, everything..

In its right place

Right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything, everything..

In its right place

Right place

There are two colours in my head

What is that you tried to say?

What was that you tried to say?

Tried to say.. tried to say..

Everything in its right place

XI

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

sweet oh luscious life
celebrate your dreams when you are away
doesn't it taste so sweet
like it's growing on oh growing on the trees
growing on the trees

when you pick me up off the ground
i'll slowly turn you from a frown
sweet oh luscious life

my sweet oh my sweet oh luscious life
you taste so sweet
when you are so free
my sweet oh luscious life you taste so sweet to me

hold time no need for the moment of the day
i celebrate i need i need today

one minute of the day
to celebrate
to let it be
to feel so free
when you and me
in a sweet luscious life
for a minute of day
you taste so sweet
