I really feel that I'm losing my best friend* - Don't Speak - No Doubt

Tu e eu, Nós costumávamos andar juntos Todos os dias juntos, sempre... Sinto verdadeiramente Que estou a perder o meu melhor amigo. Eu não consigo acreditar Que seja o fim... Até parece que tu queres ir embora E se isso é verdade, Então, eu não quero saber. Não fales Eu sei o que estás a pensar Não preciso das tuas razões... Não me contes, que isso magoa. (excerto traduzido, versão AB) You and me We used to be together Everyday together always I really feel That I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real Well I don't want to know Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Our memories Well, they can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are... You and me I can see us dying...are we? Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't tell me cause it hurts! I know what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh I know what you're thinking And I don't need your reasons I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts *Recordo-me de ouvir esta música, corria o ano de 1997 ou 1998, não posso precisar, e de sentir, de cada vez que a ouvia, que uma faca me era espetada no coração. Não sou fã dos No Doubt; conheço duas ou três músicas, de que nem sequer posso dizer que gosto. Mas nunca nenhuma música foi tão directa ao meu coração como esta. Até o timing foi perfeito; há perfeição mesmo na imperfeição. De cada vez que a oiço sinto-me implodir. E mais uma faca é espetada no meu pobre coração. Tantos anos passaram, e ainda não posso, ainda não consigo, acreditar...

Enchanted - The Platters*

Living is a dream when you make it seem enchanted Lovers take for granted all the world’s aglow, they ought to know When you touch a star then you really are enchanted Find a seed and plant it, love will make it grow It’s really grand when you stand hand in hand with your lover And thrill to the wonders of night And days, too, will amaze you and soon you’ll discover Your dreams run to dreams in continuous flight Love is ecstasy, it’s divine to be enchanted When your dreams are slanted through a lover’s eyes It’s really grand when you stand hand in hand with your lover And thrill to the wonders of night And days, too, will amaze you and soon you’ll discover Your dreams run to dreams in continuous flight Love is ecstasy, it’s divine to be enchanted When your dreams are slanted through a lover’s eyes *THE PLATTERS, lyrics of Enchanted, taken from "The Platters" Imagem: Composition XIII, de Wassily Kandinsky - (1866-1944) - Pintor Russo, um dos pintores mais famosos do século XX, a quem se atribui a primeira pintura abstracta moderna. leia o artigo wikipédia, para saber mais.

Remember When* (hoje sinto-me assim)

Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo) I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo) My lips were so afraid to say "I love you" Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo) The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo) I can't remember when I didn't love you Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine I loved you then and I still do I can't remember when I didn't love you *THE PLATTERS, lyrics of Remember When, taken from "The Platters"

hoje sinto-me como o Brian May*

Who Wants to Live Forever? Theres no time for us, Theres no place for us, What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us. Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever....? Theres no chance for us, Its all decided for us, This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever?, Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever?, When love must die. But touch my tears with your lips, Touch my world with your fingertips, And we can have forever, And we can love forever, Forever is our today, Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today. QUEEN, lyrics of Who Wants to Live Forever?, taken from A Kind of Magic (1986) - *Letra de Brian May.

hoje sinto-me como o Freddie Mercury

IT'S A HARD LIFE I don't want my freedom There's no reason for living with a broken heart. This is a tricky situation - I've only got myself to blame It's just a simple fact of life It can happen to anyone - You win - you lose It's a chance you have to take with love Oh yeah - I fell in love But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart. It's a hard life To be true lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts - It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When you're in love - I try and mend the broken pieces I try to fight back the tears They say it's just a state of mind But it happens to everyone - How it hurts - deep inside When your love has cut you down to size Life is tough - on your own Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies And I'm waiting for love. Yes it's a hard life Two lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another - right from the start When you're in love - Yes it's a hard life In a world that's filled with sorrow There are people searching for love in every way - It's a long hard fight - But I'll always live for tomorrow I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love QUEEN, Lyrics of It's a Hard Life, taken from The Works - letra de Freddie Mercury

Sorrow* (hoje sinto-me assim)

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise He's chained forever to a world that's departed It's not enough, it's not enough His blood has frozen and curdled with fright His knees have trembled and given way in the night His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered One world, one soul, Time pass, the river roll And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication And silent replies that swirl invitation Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea A grim intimation of what is to be There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight And a silence that speaks so much louder than words of promises broken PINK FLOYD, Lyrics of Sorrow, taken from A Momentary Lapse of Reason

spread your wings

Sammy was low Just watching the show Over and over again Knew it was time He'd made up his mind To leave his dead life behind His boss said to him "Boy you'd better begin, To get those crazy notions right out of your head Sammy who do you think that you are? You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar" Spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cos you know you should do better That's because you're a free man He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon Wishing he was miles and miles away Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay Since he was small Had no luck at all Nothing came easy to him Now it was time He'd made uo his mind "This could be my last chance" His boss said to him, "Now listen boy! You're always dreaming You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far Sammy boy, don't you know who you are? Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?" So honey, Spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cos you know you should do better That's because you're a free man Written by John Deacon, bass guitar of QUEEN. Track number 5, from News of the World.

Woman - John Lennon Woman I can hardly express, My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness, After all I'm forever in your debt, And woman I will try express, My inner feelings and thankfullness, For showing me the meaning of succsess, oooh well, well, oooh well, well, Woman I know you understand The little child inside the man, Please remember my life is in your hands, And woman hold me close to your heart, However, distant don't keep us apart, After all it is written in the stars, oooh well, well, oooh well, well, Woman please let me explain, I never mean(t) to cause you sorrow or pain, So let me tell you again and again and again, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah)...

love of my life

Love of my life - you've hurt me, You've broken my heart and now you leave me, Love of my life can't you see, Bring it back, bring it back, Don't take it away from me, because you don't know -, what it means to me. Love of my life don't leave me, You've taken my love, you now desert me, Love of my life can't you see, Bring it back, bring it back, Don't take it away from me because you don't know - what it means to me. You won't remember - When this is blown over And everything's all by the way - When I get older I will be there at your side to remind you how I still love you - still love you. Back - hurry back, Please bring it back home to me, because you don't know what it means to me - Love of my life Love of my life... By: Freddie Mercury, QUEEN, In.

Remember when you were young

You shone like the sun

Shine on you crazy diamond

Now there's a look in your eyes

Like black holes in the sky

Shine on you crazy diamond

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom

Blown on the steel breeze

Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine

You reached for the secret too soon

You cried for the moon

Shine on you crazy diamond

Threatened by shadows at night

And exposed in the light

Shine on you crazy diamond

Well you wore out your welcome

With random precision, rode on the steel breeze

Come on you raver, you seer of visions

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisioner and shine

Nobody knows where you are

How near or how far

Shine on you crazy diamond

Pile on many more years and i'll be joining you there

Shine on you crazy diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph

Sail on the steel breeze

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine

Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-7)

From WISH YOU WERE HERE (1975)

Misfire Don't you misfire Fill me up With the desire To carry on Dont't you know honey, that love's a game It's always hit or miss, so take your aim Got to hold on tight, shoot me out of sight Don't you misfire... Don't you misfire... Your gun is loaded, and pointing my way There's only one bullet, so don't delay Got to time it right, fire me through the night Come on, take a shot Fire me higher Don't you miss this time Please don't misfire Written By: John Deacon, bass guitar of Queen.
