Vinicius de Moraes - Soneto de Fidelidade

De tudo ao meu amor serei atento

Antes, e com tal zelo, e sempre, e tanto

Que mesmo em face do maior encanto

Dele se encante mais meu pensamento.

Quero vivê-lo em cada vão momento

E em seu louvor hei de espalhar meu canto

E rir meu riso e derramar meu pranto

Ao seu pesar ou seu contentamento

E assim, quando mais tarde me procure

Quem sabe a morte, angústia de quem vive

Quem sabe a solidão, fim de quem ama

Eu possa me dizer do amor (que tive):

Que não seja imortal, posto que é chama

Mas que seja infinito enquanto dure.

Joe Dassin - Et Si Tu N'existais Pas

Et si tu n'existais pas

Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais

Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi

Sans espoir et sans regret

Et si tu n'existais pas

J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour

Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts

Naître les couleurs du jour

Et qui n'en revient pas

Et si tu n'existais pas

Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais

Des passantes endormies dans mes bras

Que je n'aimerais jamais

Et si tu n'existais pas

Je ne serais qu'un point de plus

Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va

Je me sentirais perdu

J'aurais besoin de toi

Et si tu n'existais pas

Dis-moi comment j'existerais

Je pourrais faire semblant d'être moi

Mais je ne serais pas vrai

Et si tu n'existais pas

Je crois que je l'aurais trouvé

Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi

Simplement pour te créer

Et pour te regarder

Et si tu n'existais pas

Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais

Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi

Sans espoir et sans regret

Et si tu n'existais pas

J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour

Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts

Naître les couleurs du jour

Et qui n'en revient pas

The Shadows - Apache

Elton John - Your Song

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those, who can easily hide

I don't have much money, but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again no

Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show

I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It maybe quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song

It's for people like you, that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do

You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue

Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It maybe quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

4 Non Blondes - What's up

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was never this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say: Hey! yeah yeaaah, Hey yeah yea

I said hey, what's going on?

And I say: Hey! yeah yeaaah, Hey yeah yea

I said hey, what's going on?

ooh, ooh ooh

and I try, oh my god do I try

I try all the time, in these institution

And I pray, oh my god do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution.

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey

I said hey, what's going on?

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

for a destination
