You know you can feel the breeze with patience of a lifetime Dance above the trees to the rhythm in your mind Gently touching your skin inside out Floating on the seas, it carries me around You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone Penso em você, sinto um gosto de mar Nos grãos de areia, e eu a rolar Vou rodar o mundo , mas aqui é o meu lugar Eu vou rodar o mundo mas aqui é o meu lugar (Translation: Thinking about you, I feel the taste of the sea In the sand grains, I am rolling Gonna go around the world, but here is my place I'll go around the world, but here is my place) You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone Since the day I left, from the start I can feel megabytes of memories in my heart Wish I disappear and wake up in some other place Where there's no pain or fear, is simple like 'Hello' You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone You can close your eyes and never be alone SAMBA OF THE BLESSING (Literal translation by Béco Dranoff) It's better to be happy than sad Happiness is the best thing there is It is like a light in the heart But to make a samba with beauty It's needed a bit of sadness If not the samba can't be made To make a samba is not like telling a joke And who makes samba like this is worth nothing The good samba is a kind of prayer Because samba is the sadness that sways And sadness is always hopeful Of one day not being sad any more Put a little love in the cadence And you'll see that in this world nobody wins The beauty that a samba have Because samba was born in Bahia And if today it is white in it's poetry It is very black in it's heart

Dignificada 04:36
Hay en la noche un grito y se escucha lejano Cuentan al sur, es la voz del silencio En este armario hay un gato encerrado Porque una mujer, defendió su derecho De la montaña se escucha la voz de un rayo Es el relámpago claro de la verdad En esta vida santa que nadie perdona nada Pero si una mujer, pero si una mujer Pelea por su dignidad Te seguí los pasos niña Hasta llegar a la montaña Y seguí la ruta de Dios Que las ánimas acompañan Ay morena, morenita mía, No te olvidaré Virgen Hermosa, ruega por ella

Oceano 05:51
Assim Que o dia amanheceu Lá no mar alto da paixão, Dava prá ver o tempo ruir Cadê você? Que solidão! Esquecera de mim? Enfim, De tudo o que Há na terra Não há nada em lugar Nenhum! Que vá crescer Sem você chegar Longe de ti Tudo parou Ninguém sabe O que eu sofri... Amar é um deserto E seus temores Vida que vai na sela Dessas dores Não sabe voltar Me dá teu calor... Vem me fazer feliz Porque eu te amo Você deságua em mim E eu oceano E esqueço que amar É quase uma dor... Só sei viver Se for por você!

Big Brother 06:09
"Big Brother" Your name is big brother You say that you're watching me on the tele, Seeing me go nowhere, Your name is big brother, You say that you're tired of me protesting, Children dying everyday, My name is nobody But I can't wait to see your face inside my door Your name is big brother You say that you got me all in your notebook, Writing it down everyday, Your name is I'll see ya, I'll change if you vote me in as the pres, The President of your soul I live in the ghetto, You just come to visit me 'round election time I live in the ghetto, Someday I will move on my feet to the other side, My name is secluded, we live in a house the size of a matchbox, Roaches live with us wall to wall, You've killed all our leaders, I don't even have to do nothin' to you You'll cause your own country to fall

Walking Man 04:31
"Walking Man" Moving in silent desperation, keeping an eye on the Holy Land. A hypothetical destination, say, who is this walking man? Well, the leaves have come to turning and the goose has gone to fly, And bridges are for burning, so don't you let that yearning pass you by. Walking man, walking man walks. Any other man stops and talks but the walking man walks. Well the frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn. Pappy's come to rambling on, stumbling around drunk down on the farm. And the walking man walks. Doesn't know nothing at all. Any other man stops and talks but the walking man walks on by, walk on by. Most everybody's got seed to sow. It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no. So he don't hoe the row for no one, for sure he's always missing, and something ain't never quite right. Ah, but who would want to listen to you kissing his existence good night? Walking man walk. Walk on by my door. Well, any other man stops and talks but not the walking man. He's the walking man, born to walk, walk on walking man. Well now, would he have wings to fly? Would he be free? Golden wings against the sky, walking man, walk on by. So long, walking man.
