É como chuva no mar


E o que ninguém escutar
Te invade sem parar
Te transforma sem ninguém notar
Frases, vozes, cores
Ondas, frequências, sinais
O mundo é grande demais

Coisas transformam-se em mim
Por todo o mundo é assim
Isso nunca vai ter fim

Chemistry



Close your eyes

Go to the city, go to the store
Ask for a loan from another bank
Call your mother, make an excuse


Here comes the night time, coming on slow
Here comes the night time, I know that you know

errante navegante


She cut a hole in the fence and she ran
She left her troublesome prison behind
She didn't wanna fuel the fire
She didn't wanna lose her desire

She looked out to the horizon
She didn't have much left to see
Greed had taken the trees away
Greed had taken the bees away

She don't know where she's gonna go now
She looked up to where there should have been stars
She said I wanna go to mars
And this, this planet ain't ours

coming of age


Don't let the kids win, just let them lose they're not gonna learn anything if that's all you choose to play. Dont let the kids win, just let them fall don't want them growing up thinking two year olds are good at playing basketball.

And i've got a feeling that this won't ever change, we're gonna keep on getting older it's gonna keep on feeling strange

wait for summer to come



“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything... what a waste!” Andre Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

Sente-se a voz



Celebrei em Portugal e frustrei-me em Portugal
Vi sucessos e fracassos, fiz amigos sem igual
Vagueei por Portugal com assombro ancestral
Quando chegue a minha hora seja terra em Portugal

Oiro em pó que o vento espalha



Se alguém se engana com seu ar sisudo
E lhes franqueia as portas à chegada
Eles comem tudo eles comem tudo
Eles comem tudo e não deixam nada

Cá dentro inquietação, inquietação
É só inquietação, inquietação
Porquê, não sei, porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Há sempre qualquer coisa que está pra acontecer
Qualquer coisa que eu devia perceber
Porquê, não sei, porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Bora! Bambora! Vambora! Bora!



É hoje Luzia que tudo vai mudar

Diz ao teu pai que não percebes este mundo a que foste condenada
Conta à tua mãe que isto agora é prego a fundo, tu não podes estar parada

Vem comigo Luzia
É o nosso tempo que nos chama
Com o cerco que agora se anuncia
Há-de vir um novo dia
Pra escrevermos outra trama

every song that I've ever heard




Every inch of sky's got a star
Every inch of skin's got a scar
I guess that you've got everything now
Every inch of space in your head
Is filled up with the things that you read
I guess you've got everything now
And every film that you've ever seen
Fills the spaces up in your dreams

We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust

remember how dancing used to feel



Hey Lucinda, come out drinking with me tonight
The summer's almost gone
Hey Lucinda, time is running out
Hey Lucinda, our time is running out

someday I'll make it mine



I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

É o mar



O homem que diz "dou" não dá, porque quem dá mesmo não diz
O homem que diz "vou" não vai, porque quando foi já não quis
O homem que diz "sou" não é, porque quem é mesmo é "não sou"
O homem que diz "tô" não tá, porque ninguém tá quando quer

Masks of twigs and clay



You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts. You believe in god, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now. You're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling of the sea. You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

you were beaming once before


The animals, the animals
trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
The cage is full
Stay awake in the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching the ground for a bitter song
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
And you've got time, and you've got time
Think of all the roads
Think of all their crossings
Taking steps is easy, standing still is hard

Remember all their faces, remember all their voices
Everything is different the second time around

lembra-me um sonho lindo



Enfim duma escolha faz-se um desafio
Enfrenta-se a vida de fio a pavio
Navega-se sem mar, sem vela ou navio
Bebe-se a coragem até dum copo vazio
E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida

e as serras



Strange face with your eyes so pale and sincere
Underneath you know well you have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life where spring is sprung

You would seem so frail in the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion go out to fight
But while the earth sinks to it’s grave
You sail to the sky on the crest of a wave

So forget this cruel world where I belong
I’ll just sit and wait and sing my song
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me to your place in the cloud

Como engana a fantasia


Partamos de flor ao peito
Que o amor é como o vento
Quem pára perde-lhe o jeito
E morre a todo o momento

Ciganos verdes ciganos
Deixai-me com esta crença
Os pecados têm vinte anos
Os remorsos têm oitenta

Subterranean Homesick Blues

When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb
When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too dumb
When yer laggin' behind an' losin' yer pace
In a slow-motion crawl of life's busy race
No matter what yer doing if you start givin' up
If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup
If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on
And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone
And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it
And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it
And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long
And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong
And lonesome comes up as down goes the day
And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away
And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'
And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'
And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys
Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys
And yer sky cries water and yer drain pipe's a-pourin'
And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin'
And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops a-shakin'
And yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin'
And yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm
And to yourself you sometimes say
And to yourself you sometimes say

"I never knew it was gonna be this way
Why didn't they tell me the day I was born"

the ageing woman


"whatever you think that your life is gonna be like
just know it's not gonna be anything like that"

It hurts to be alive and obsolete

Then it looks so real I can feel it
And it feels so real I can taste it
And it tastes so real I can hear it
And it sounds so real I can see it
So why can't I touch it?

Spectrum


When food is gone you are my daily meal, oh
When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real
Your love is real

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
'Cause I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
