Vienna


Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize,
Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right.
you're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize,
Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile it's all right,
you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..
Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,.
Vienna waits for you
When will you realize,
Vienna waits for you?




The circle of life



Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhhmn ingonyama
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhhmn ingonyama

Ingonyama

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala


From the day we arrive on the planet.

And blinking, step into the sun.

There's more to see than can ever be seen.

More to do than can ever be done.


There's far to much to take in here.

More to find than can ever be found.

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky,

Keeps great and small on the endless round.


It's the circle of life.

And it moves us all.

Through despair and hope.

Through faith and love.


'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding.

In the circle

The circle of life.


It's the circle of life.

And it moves us all.

Through despair and hope.

Through faith and love.


'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding.

In the circle

The circle of life.




Eu não sei quem te perdeu



Quando veio,

Mostrou-me as mãos vazias,

As mãos como os meus dias,

Tão leves e banais.


E pediu-me

Que lhe levasse o medo,

Eu disse-lhe um segredo:

«Não partas nunca mais»


E dançou,

Rodou no chão molhado,

Num beijo apertado

De barco contra o cais.


E uma asa voa

A cada beijo teu,

Esta noite

Sou dono do céu,

E eu não sei quem te perdeu.


Abraçou-me

Como se abraça o tempo,

A vida num momento

Em gestos nunca iguais.


E parou,

Cantou contra o meu peito,

Num beijo imperfeito

Roubado nos umbrais.

E partiu,

Sem me dizer o nome,

Levando-me o perfume

De tantas noites mais.


E uma asa voa

A cada beijo teu,

Esta noite

Sou dono do céu,

E eu não sei quem te perdeu.

The rock



There’s a low rock wall
By the cliffs of Mohàr
Runs from down on the ground ~
Right up through the sea air
As a child I would climb
To the top of those stairs
And wish on the fog
I was anywhere else
The farms and the valleys
Are ringed with the stones
Of the men who built walls
So’s to be more alone
All that’s left of them now
Are their fears and their bones
But the rocks they pulled up
Were all I’ve ever known

The Rock fought my spirit
The Rock fed my anger
The Rock broke my heart
Like the waves of the sea
I tried hard to fight
But it still grew inside me
This island
My Ireland
The Rock is in me

Hard was the ground
In which this child grew
Unforgiving and cold
Was the home that I knew
But knowing the soil
Holds no harbor for you
Makes pulling up roots
That much easier to do

Set sail! Young pilgrims
Set sail to a new land
Set sail! Our future
Is out there to find

Now it’s been years
Since I’ve been in that place
And the winds of my life
Have all weathered my face
But it’s only with distance
And the coming of grace
That I see in you beauty
I could never replace

The Rock forged my spirit
The Rock was my anchor
The Rock held me fast
Through the storms of my youth
Now you’ll never die
‘Cause you live on inside me
Illin sha
Ma herrin fain
La-lie-lie-lie

O mostrengo



O mostrengo que está no fim do mar

Na noite de breu ergueu-se a voar;

A roda da nau voou três vezes,

Voou três vezes a chiar,


E disse: «Quem é que ousou entrar

Nas minhas cavernas que não desvendo,

Meus tectos negros do fim do mundo?»

E o homem do leme disse, tremendo:


«El-Rei D. João Segundo!»

«De quem são as velas onde me roço?

De quem as quilhas que vejo e ouço?»

Disse o mostrengo, e rodou três vezes,


Três vezes rodou imundo e grosso.

«Quem vem poder o que só eu posso,

Que moro onde nunca ninguém me visse

E escorro os medos do mar sem fundo?»


E o homem do leme tremeu, e disse:

«El-Rei D. João Segundo!»

Três vezes do leme as mãos ergueu,

Três vezes ao leme as reprendeu,


E disse no fim de tremer três vezes:

«Aqui ao leme sou mais do que eu:

Sou um povo que quer o mar que é teu;

E mais que o mostrengo, que me a alma teme


E roda nas trevas do fim do mundo,

Manda a vontade, que me ata ao leme,

De El-Rei D. João Segundo!»






Este vai ser sempre o melhor poema da "Mensagem"... Pela representação de um homem pelo povo e pela bravura desse homem em enfrentar o desconhecido, o escuro, a "noite de breu". Bravura tembém tê-lo conseguido!

Suddenly i see


Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

A whole new world

(21-12-06 - Espinho)

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 now from 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 thing 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 suprise
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wonderous place
For you and me

All i want this Christmas...


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby

Thrown in the fire but you never get burned,
"but I wish that I didn't get burned in Rwanda.
They said: "The man is judged according to his works,

There’s no money, no diamonds, no fortunes
on this planet that can replace Rwanda…

Amor com amor se paga



Espero que isto seja mesmo verdade... Espero mesmo...

Ficar mais perto


Depois talvez construir
Ou navegar os dias
Pressentir
Percorrer os caminhos que houver
Há sempre uma maneira
De recomeçar
O que se quiser

Tão simples...


Apesar de ser tão simples como uma paisagem, a maravilha de voar sonhando continua distante...
E como numa curta viagem se pode ver tanta coisa?!!

A midsummer-night's dream


I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again:
Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note;
So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape;
And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move me
On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.
