tic-tac... tic-tac...

Neste momento em que muitos contam as horas (minutos, segundos) que faltam para 2006, deixo as palavras do "nosso" Mario Quintana:

"AH! OS RELÓGIOS

Amigos, não consultem os relógios
quando um dia eu me for de vossas vidas
em seus fúteis problemas tão perdidas
que até parecem mais uns necrológios...

Porque o tempo é uma invenção da morte:
não o conhece a vida - a verdadeira -
em que basta um momento de poesia
para nos dar a eternidade inteira.

Inteira, sim, porque essa vida eterna
somente por si mesma é dividida:
não cabe, a cada qual, uma porção.

E os Anjos entreolham-se espantados
quando alguém - ao voltar a si da vida -
acaso lhes indaga que horas são..."

A Cor do Invisível
Mario Quintana

pra cima

Nada como começar o ano de alto astral...

"I’d really love to be alone without all the
Ache and pain and the april showers
But it ain’t long before I long for you, like a
Ray of hope, coming through the blue moon

When it all gets dark again
The whole thing falls apart I guess
It doesn’t really matter about the rain
‘cause we’ll get through it anyway
We’ll get up and start again

‘cause we could be lifted, lifted, lifted
We could be lifted
From the shadows, lifted
Oh we could be, lifted up today
Lifted all the way, you and I forever
Baby, lifted, lifted, lifted, hey

It’s undisturbable the peace we found
In a bright new space up above the clouds
Everything is understandable
You don’t have to say anything too loud

When all our luck runs out again
We’re brought back down to solid ground
I wouldn’t say I’m mad about the rain
But we’ll get through it anyway
We’ll get back to the start again

‘cause we could be lifted, lifted, lifted
We could be lifted
From the shadows, lifted
Oh we could be, lifted up today
Lifted all the way, you and I forever
Baby, lifted, we could be lifted,
we could be lifted, hey

We could be lifted, we could be lifted,
we could be lifted
You and I forever
We could be lifted, we could be lifted,
yeah we could be lifted
We could be lifted up to new horizons

Lifted, lifted up today, lifted all the way,
yeah we could be
lifted
We could be lifted, from the shadows,
we could be lifted
Lifted upto new horizons
When it all gets dark again,
it doesn’t really matter about the
rain
When it all gets dark again,
it doesn’t really matter about the
rain"

viagem

Com a chegada do ano novo, é hora de escolher o melhor meio de transporte.
Acho que vou de patins...

"Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me"

Mônica Salmaso

Será que se acorda do lado de lá?
Se for possível, quero acordar ouvindo Mônica Salmaso, com seu sotaque paulistano...

"Menina amanhã de manhã
Quando a gente acordar quero te dizer
Que a felicidade vai desabar sobre os homens
Vai, desabar sobre os homens
Vai, desabar sobre os homens

Na hora ninguém escapa
Debaixo da cama ninguém se esconde
A felicidade vai desabar sobre os homens
Vai, desabar sobre os homens
Vai, desabar sobre os homens

Menina, ela mete medo
Menina, ela fecha a roda
Menina, não tem saída
de cima, de banda ou de lado

Menina, olhe pra frente
Menina, todo cuidado
Não queira dormir no ponto
Segura o jogo, atenção de manhã

Menina a felicidade é cheia de praça, é cheia de traça
É cheia de lata, é cheia de graça
Menina a felicidade é cheia de pano, é cheia de peno
É cheia de sino, é cheia de sono
Menina a felicidade é cheia de ano, é cheia de eno
É cheia de hino, é cheia de ono
Menina a felicidade é cheia de an, é cheia de en
É cheia de in, é cheia de on
Menina a felicidade é cheia de a, é cheia de é
É cheia de i , é cheia de ó
É cheia de a, é cheia de é, é cheia de i, é cheia de ó"

walk on by

As gravações originais são, em geral, as melhores. No entanto algumas reinterpretações são de nos fazer sonhar.
Seal cantando Walk on by merece entrar na bagagem...


"If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
'Cos each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by, just walk on by

'coz I just can't get over losing you
And if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by (just walk on by), walk on by (just walk on by)

Foolish pride, is all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
that you gave me when you said goodbye
When you walk on by (dont stop), when walked on by (dont stop),
just walk on by, just walk on by

walk on by (just walk on by), walk on by (just walk on by)
foolish pride that's all I have left
So let me hide these tears and all the sadness
that you gave me when you said goodbye
Just walk on by (dont stop), just walk on by (dont stop)
that you really wanna go so walk on by
said you really gotta go so walk on by
Baby leave me never see the tears I cry
Baby leave me never see the tears I cry"

Walk on by
Bacharach & David

a gente quer é viver...

que tal ao morrer cantarmos uma música em homenagem à vida?

"Quando a gente está contente
Tanto faz o quente
Tanto faz o frio
Tanto faz
Que eu me esqueça do meu compromisso
Com isso que aconteceu dez minutos atrás

Dez minutos atrás de uma idéia já dão
Pra uma teia de aranha crescer
E prender
Sua vida na cadeia do pensamento
Que de um momento pro outro
Começa a doer

Quando a gente está contente
Gente é gente, gato é gato
Barata pode ser um barato total
Tudo que você disser deve fazer bem
Nada que você comer deve fazer mal

Quando a gente está contente
Nem pensar que está contente
Nem pensar que está contente a gente quer

Nem pensar a gente quer
A gente quer, a gente quer
A gente quer é viver"

Barato Total

No meu funeral não levem armas nem rosas!
Deixem que eu levo...

"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh ...sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh ...sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh, oh, oh... Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh ... Sweet love of mine
Oh, oh, oh... Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh ... Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now?
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine"

Sweet child of mine

Dance Me To The End Of Love
Composição: Leonard Cohen


Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til
I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till
I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
