"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"



Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this lonely mess won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

"A Dream Come True (Can't Hardly Wait)"

"A Dream Come True (Can't Hardly Wait)"



Can't hardly wait for night to come
Then I can dream of you
Let hours pass before I wake
Until my dreams come true

I tried so hard to call your name
And listen for an answer - still no sound
I'm impatiently waiting
While reality is fading
I can't wait until a dream comes true

It came to me unwillingly
That you would come some day
Time after time I feel that I'm
A fool to love you this way

I tried so hard to call your name
And listen for an answer - still no sound
I'm impatiently waiting
While reality is fading
I can't wait until a dream comes true
With you!

I can't wait until a dream comes true
Until old man time loses his pace
That's when I'll know that I've lost the race
I can't wait until two equals one - please come
I can't wait until a dream comes true

Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem

E ela vem cambaleando,
E ela vem, que vem pisando
Na barra da saia amarela

Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem

Troca as pernas e troca tudo
Tomou uma pinga de caju
Achando que era Ki-suco

Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem,
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela
Acode que la vem

Troca as pernas e troca tudo
Pisou no rabo do cachorro brabo
Acordou xingando o mundo

Acode que la vem
Acode que la vem ela
E acode que la vem ela

"After Midnight"

"After Midnight"



After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout

We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight
It's all gonna be peaches and cream

We're gonna 'cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about

We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight

After midnight

"Agua De Beber"

"Agua De Beber"



Agua de beber, agua de beber camara
Eu sempre tive uma certeza
Que so me deu desilusao
E que o amor e uma tristeza
Muita magoa demais para um coracao

Agua de beber, agua de beber camara
Eu quis amar mas tive medo
E quis salvar meu coracao
Mas o amor sabe um segredo:
O medo pode matar o teu coracao

Agua de beber, agua de beber camara
Eu nunca fiz coisa tao certa
Entrei pra escola do perdao
A minha casa vive aberta
Abre todas as portas meu coracao

"Alibis"

"Alibis"



It's nothing I can put my finger on
But it's there, I swear
It's not somethin' I'm imaginin'
Each time you call
I know I'll get your "working late routine" again

Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin' away from me

Your telephone service says you're out again
Somewhere out there
You've got another rendezvous
I know the way you work
You'll be someplace where no one can check up on you

You think you're in the clear
But don't forget
That's exactly the way we met

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin away from me

Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I'm know your alibis are water tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin away from me

I'm sure your alibis are water tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me...

"Anjo De Mim"

"Anjo De Mim"



O meu amor
Vida a pulsar
Dentro de mim
Meu quero mais
Meu querer bem
Meu querubim

Anjo de mim
Me faz amor
Devagarinho
Meu coracao
Comeco e fim
Meu por-de-mim

O meu amor
E meu luar
Noites Jobim
E tanto ceu
Dedo de Deus
Em meu caminho

Porto de mim
Meu sol, meu ar
Meu tudo enfim
Agua e do mar
Como eu sou teu
Cuida de mim

Me leva, me leva
Me leva, leva...

Porto de mim
Meu sol, meu ar
Meu tudo enfim
Agua e do mar
Como eu sou teu
Cuida de mim

Me leva, me leva
Me leva, leva...

"Anos Dourados"
(feat. Caetano Veloso & Gracinha Leporace)



Parece que dizes
Te amo, Maria
Na fotografia estamos felizes
Te ligo afobado
E deixo confissoes no gravador
Vai ser engracado
Se tens um novo amor

Me vejo ao teu lado
Te amo? Nao lembro
Parece Dezembro de um ano dourado
Parece bolero
Te quero, te quero
Dizer que nao quero
Teus beijos nunca mais
Teus beijos nunca mais

Nao sei se eu ainda
Te esqueco de fato
No nosso retrato pareco tao linda
Te ligo ofegante
E digo confusoes no gravador
E desconcertante
Rever o grande amor

Meus olhos molhados
Insanos, Dezembros
Mas quando eu me lembro
Sao anos dourados

Ainda te quero
Bolero, nossos versos sao banais
Mas como eu te espero
Teus beijos nunca mais
Teus beijos nunca mais

"Arrastao (For Me)"


Eh, tem jangada no mar
Eh, hoje tem arrastao
Eh, todo mundo pescar
Chega de sombra Joao
Joviu!

Olha o arrastao
Entrando no mar sem fim
Eh, meu irmao
Me traz Yemanja pra mim

Olha o arrastao
Entrando no mar sem fim
Eh, meu irmao
Me traz Yemanja pra mim

Minha Santa Barbara
Me abencoai
Quero me casar
Com Janaina

Eh, puxa bem devagar
Eh, eh, eh, ja vem vindo o arrastao
Eh, e a Rainha do Mar
Vem, vem na rede Joao
Pra mim!

Valha-me Deus
Nosso Senhor do Bonfim
Nunca jamais
Se viu tanto peixe assim

Valha-me Deus
Nosso Senhor do Bonfim
Nunca jamais
Se viu tanto peixe assim

Minha Santa Barbara
Me abencoai
Quero me casar
Com Janaina

Eh, puxa bem devagar
Eh, eh, eh, ja vem vindo o arrastao
Eh e a Rainha do Mar
Vem, vem na rede Joao
Pra mim!

Valha-me Deus
Nosso Senhor do Bonfim
Nunca jamais
Se viu tanto peixe assim

Valha-me Deus
Nosso Senhor do Bonfim
Nunca jamais
Se viu tanto peixe assim

Let me please introduce you
To a sound that will move you
They call it balafon
No one's sure where it comes from
Some old african kingdom
Somewhere like Cameroon

Here we call it marimba
Music made with your fingers
Rhythm becomes a song
Feels so good when they play it
Soon you'll learn how to say it
You'll call it balafon

Marim-baje, ire-shire
Balafonja, orin-axe
Marim-baje, ire-shire
Balafonja, orin-axe

Isso que toca bem, bem
Isso que toca bem, bem
Chama-se balafon
Nhen-nhen patapa nha-nha

Tenga patenga patenga
