É melhor ser alegre que ser triste


É melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe
É assim como a luz no coração
Mas prá fazer um samba com beleza
É preciso um bocado de tristeza
Senão não se faz um samba não

Fazer samba não é contar piada
E quem faz samba assim não é de nada
O bom samba é uma forma de oração
Porque o samba é a tristeza que balança
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperança
De um dia não ser mais triste não

Põe um pouco de amor numa cadência
E vai ver que ninguém no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba não
Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia
E se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Ele é negro demais no coração

É melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe
É assim como a luz no coração
Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia
E se hoje ele é branco na poesia
Ele é negro demais no coração

Una Mujer para Amar

Es posible que no existas y que estas líneas que te escribo sean mera debilidad de una mente humana que le es imposible creer únicamente en causas y consecuencias, química y física, y necesita un propósito para vivir más allá de los que dicta la razón. ¿Pero qué tan importante es la verdad cuando la existencia de una cosa tan bella está en juego? ¿Acaso no ven la belleza de las ideas en si mismas? ¿O por qué no la belleza de las palabras? El racionalismo está matando tanto a la belleza poética, como a las personas. Pero no hay nada que pueda evitarlo, su discurso es tan racional, tan verdadero, irrefutable. Y sin embargo se pierden de saber que el mundo están azúl porque tú estás en él.

Father & Son


Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Sun

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father

Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

Son

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

All you need is love




Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

Que no se apaguen las bombitas amarillas

En el tumulto de los Húsares de Momo
Encandilado por las luces de otro barrio
Aquel murguista saludando con su gorro
Se despedía como siempre del tablado

Entre la nube de pintados chiquilines
Vio la sonrisa que enviaba una princesa
Entre los rostros de mezclados colorines
Dudó si era para él la gentileza

Y por si acaso dedicó una reverencia
A la muchacha que en la noche se quedaba
En el momento de partir la bañadera
volando un beso se posaba en su ventana

Y paso a paso la ansiedad lo malhería
Quedaba poco del nocturno itinerario
Uno tras otro los cuplés se sucedían
Se retiraban del último escenario

Tiró el disfraz en el respaldo del asiento
Borró los restos de pintura con su mano
Volando un tacho lo llevaba contra el viento
La vio justito a la salida del tablado

"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha
Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente ...
La princesa ...
Se perdía entre la gente

Que no se apague nunca el eco de los bombos
Que no se lleven los muñecos del tablado
Quiero vivir en el reinado del Dios Momo
Quiero ser húsar de su ejército endiablado

Que no se apaguen las bombitas amarillas
Que no se vaya nunca más la retirada
Quiero cantarle una canción a Colombina
Quiero llevarme su sonrisa dibujada

Revolution





You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Here comes the sun


Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It’s all right, it’s all right
