"Fanfarra (Cabua-Le-Le)"



Faca que corta
E facao
Fumo de corda
Enrolam
Mulher de nome
E Isabel
Que samba com gringo
Soldado sem farda e sem quartel

Cabua le le
Viva e
Viva
Cabua le le
Viva e
Viva
Nao duvide que ela
Mas duvide que ela va
Au au au apito
No vapor deve dar

"Festa"

"Festa"



Tanta gente cansada, calada sem voz
Sem rumo sem riso, sem vez
Sem passado a lembrar
Nem cancao pra cantar
Mas e festa e a ordem do rei e cantar
E o canto calado sem voz
Pensamento no tempo a voar

A rua em festa e em mim
Todo mundo rodando a dancar
Eu na roda, na danca e voce
Voce nem viu
Mas mesmo assim fui feliz
Fui crianca na danca sem voce
Com certeza o que e bom e pra dar
Nao prometi

I can't wait
I've been waiting so long for this night
My songs they were meant for this night
If I find you alone
Then I'll know I was right

Take this time to remember
That once we were one
I can't take this time that you've gone
Please remember that once we loved

The carnival started today
And everyone lives for the sight
The children will dance all the day
And sing all night

Yes, the carnival started today
My arms will be looking for you
And maybe you'll reach for my hand
And if you do...

La, la, la, laia, la, la, la
La, lai, ala...

"Flower Of Bahia (Flor Da Bahia)"

"Flower Of Bahia (Flor Da Bahia)"



Start with a dream
On the wings of golden promises
Your journey begins
Touch the lips that taste of coco
And the soft tropic skin
You're not safe at all
Anyone can fall
To the spell of Salvador

Wait for the time
When the fishing boats are leaving
Casting fortunes out to sea
From their nets there's no escaping
What the stars meant to me

Back in Bahia
Clove and cinnamon
And jasmine perfume
Back in Bahia
Sweet brazilian voices call you
Back in Bahia
Mysteries a heart returns to
Wanna stay
One more day
Holy bay
Salvador

Flower of Bahia
You are every fantasy
Of making love all night long
You are passion fruit
You're hot and cool
A sensual song
Dancing in the sand
Walking hand in hand
With the dreams of Salvador

Back in Bahia
Clove and cinnamon
And jasmine perfume
Back in Bahia
Sweet brazilian voices call you
Back in Bahia
Mysteries a heart returns to
Wanna stay
One more day
Holy bay
Salvador

"For Me (Arrastao)"

"For Me (Arrastao)"



Hey, there's a hum in the air
Hey, every star's in a spin
Hey, something's saying out there
Hey, something's gonna begin
For me

Never at no time was there a night like this
Never at no time was every star so clear
Never at no time has my heart beat so fast
Never at no time was everything so clear

Somewhere there's someone else who feels it too
Something rare and wonderful
Is due

Hey, there's a fire in the sky
Hey, and the moon's in a dive
Hey, it's a dream you can't buy
Hey, life is coming alive
For me

Never at no time was there a night like this
Never at no time was every star so clear
Never at no time has my heart beat so fast
For me
Never at no time was there a night like this

"For What It's Worth"

"For What It's Worth"



There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking there minds
And getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a carrying signs
Mostly saying hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will be
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line,the men come and take you away

We better stop,hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Music is the potion
Travellin' from coast to coast in

I'll be steppin' out around the world
Washing the pain away
You'll be dancin
You'll be groovin'

And you will do it
Because the drummer make you do it
Make you do it to the way that he play

"Funny You Should Say That"

"Funny You Should Say That"


I got up early this morning
I guess I just couldn't sleep
All my arrangements are made
I've got appointmentsto keep

But tables and chairs are covered
I took our name off the door
That's what you told me to do
But you can't carry it through anymore

Funny you should say that, baby
Tell me, did you read my mind
Funny you should say that, baby
That's how I felt all the time

I'd like to make a confession
I haven't always been fair, no
Sometimes I think of myself
Before I notice you there

Well, I could wait for a taxi
Tell him I didn't call
That's what you want me to do
If I can stay here with you after all

Funny you should say that, baby
Tell me, did you read my mind
Funny you should say that, baby
That's how I felt all the time

"Gente"

"Gente"



Gente que entende que nao deve dar
Porque nunca na vida sofreu por nao ter
Deus quando fez esta terra pra gente
Pensou em fazer tudo bem diferente

Nao que eu queira ter muita coisa demais
Quero e ter um pouco de paz
Quero apenas ter um lugar pra morar
Porque, veja bem, ha quem tem
Sem saber, mais de cem

Pode ate mesmo o Senhor se zangar
Entao, vir para a Terra, pra tudo mudar

Gente que entende que nao deve dar

"Going Out Of My Head"

"Going Out Of My Head"



Well, I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you

And I think I'm going out of my head
'Cause I can't forget the tears that I shed
Over you
Over you

I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
Don't even know that I exist

Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right

I must think of a way
Into your heart
Oh, there's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart

I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you

Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right

I must think of a way
Into your heart
Oh, there's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart

Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Day and night
Night and day and night
Day and night
Night and day and night

"Gone Forever"

"Gone Forever"



Gone forever
I sit alone for hours
Wondering what went wrong and who's to blame
I was led to see a black cloud
Pull across the sky
Wondering when it was that love began to die

Gone forever
Now gone but not forgotten
How could I forget the likes of you
Just a sigh to be could make imaginations mine
Just to think about you almost makes me cry

You are something to remember
Only lonely like the sun
Every morning still reminds me
Brings a tear that nearly blinds me
One more day to be blue
One more day of living without you

Gone forever
And all the fools have told me
Try to find a life with someone new
Share the pillow where a dream
Once took the time to write
Having known you I would never even try
