Blessed by dust
I know you and i feel you might want to know me
In my sweet and sour dreamland you will be
I will wrap you in my arms and you won’t see
Nothing but clear smiles from my devotees
Still, you will always laugh every time i bite
As your eyes someway will loose their light
Lay your trust upon me but don’t loose sight
That soon you will give in and up the fight
I’ll be you when you let me in
Take my bless but it ain’t tax-free
In your storm, i’ll give you all of my protection
You will bow and give a grip on your mind
Let me be your friend and give you all my attention
Cherish your soul then blow all your dreams away
Eternal sleep will end up your story
And i’ll rise and shine in my throne of glory
There’ll be only sparks from this world
And a little bit of ground to hide
I’ll be you when you let me in
Take my bless but it ain’t tax-free
*solo*
I’ll be you when you let me in
Take my bless
I’ll be you when you let me in
Take my bless, but it ain’t tax-free
Tacili’s got some...
Late in the morning when she opens her eyes
Tacili’s got something to say and you’d better listen right
Some of the dreams that dance in her mind not quite the ones you’d have
Maker her feel like she ain’t blind
Something she’s been told “life ain’t what you dream”
Yet she’s not feeling cold 'cause she’ll make it by any mean
Little big woman’s got something to say
What kind of role she’s bound to play
And what is the price she’ll have to pay
She’s getting angry but reaching the light
Making the difference between wrong and right
Gathering the weapons to win the fight (wit’ leather…)
The day goes by but she still feels down
There’s way too much noise around
And in a way she only wants some peace
She looks at the world and says man’s gone insane
And driving us to an early grave
And there is so much that we can save
Something she’s been told “life ain’t what you dream”
Yet she’s not feeling cold ‘cause she’ll make it by any mean
Little big woman’s got something to say
What kind of role she’s bound to play
What is the price she’ll have to pay
She’s getting angry but reaching the light
Making the difference between wrong and right
Gathering the weapons to win the fight (wit’ leather…)
*solo*

Mais uma vez
Todo o dia, meu rei, tua ausência me vem
Agridoce lembrança, teu sorriso também
Preto e branco ou cores, o quadro retém
Mas o toque e o cheiro, da memória é refém
Mil palavras não chegam para expor o seu dom
O outro lado da vida também dita o tom
Fica só mais um dia, talvez
Me acompanha só mais uma vez
Dança para mim e mais ninguém
Canta mais uma linha, meu bem
Quando as sombras me falam de dias sem sol
Vejo vultos moldados num silêncio sem dó
Mas a paz nos invade, quase como uma dor
Meu mundo deu voltas, mas com vocês nunca estou só
As palavras chegaram, e com elas o som
Este lado da rua talvez cante e ache bom
*solo*
Fica só mais um dia, talvez
Me acompanha só mais uma vez
Dança para mim e mais ninguém
Canta mais uma linha, meu bem
Roulette
Le mur cache une plage et les nuages en vain
Le blues reste fier mais j’ai peur de demain
Juste un appel, une impression d’ennui
La mer m’entraine au loin et je n’ai plus envie
Envie d’aller plus loin…
L’intervention divine
Me guide sur tous chemins
Ainsi va ta vie, ainsi vont tes désirs
Bouger sans vraiment pouvoir
Un elan, un regard
Beneath the god of an angry sun
The sweetest party has just begun yeah
Them shinny moons of east and west
Hide the clouds that shadow your rest
La danse est le secret de tes plus beaux rêves
La réussite est la a regarder les gens
Je joue trop souvent a marche ou bien creve
Une roulette russe avec des balles en argent
Je graisse le barillet, j’atteins l’eternité
La mort devient sublime
Ainsi va ta vie, ainsi vont tes désirs
Bouger sans vraiment pouvoir
Un elan, un regard
Beneath the god of an angry sun
The sweetest party has just begun yeah
Them shinny moons of east and west
Hide the clouds that shadow your rest
*solo*
Salvation armies
A sudden fall among the trees before my eyes
Twenty centuries of desolation and thoughtful lies
Their bloody armies will rip the moon like it ain’t true
And led by war-dogs will shut the rest of pride in you (*)
The season’s ending and it’s more than she can bear
Still brainless leaders drain the best of me and you
*solo*
But a change somehow will come
Their misleading songs won’t fool me no more
No faking smile abides hypocrisy
We’ll bind our future and then open the door
The smiling angels dance to their reflections
A noise from heaven sounds just like a strange reception
My little baby fell asleep with dream-lit eyes
While salvation armies sell diseases for affection
But a change somehow will come
Their misleading songs won’t fool me any more
No faking smile abides hypocrisy
We’ll bind our future and then open the door
*JFK*
But a change somehow will come
Their misleading songs won’t fool me any more
No faking smile abides hypocrisy
We’ll bind our future and then open the door
Teatral
Minha força é conveniente
Se machuca, se empobrece no ritmo da solidão
Se teu chão, dela depende
[uma alcova para sua aflição]
Se as palavras não lhe saem
Quem sabe [se] a voz não é o filtro
Que encobre a insatisfação de ser apenas
[mais] uma gota da tempestade
Você vai cantar também
Vai gritar até a rouquidão
Vai parecer não vir ninguém
Para aplaudir a sua atuação
O significado da angústia
Representa a dor no seu estado da arte
E o bem que essa fragilidade lhe faz
Mostra exatamente o tom de sua dor
Cada um tem seu papel
Mesmo quando a peça não tem sua platéia
I’ve been holding on for much too long
O problema está na direção e não no roteiro
Você vai cantar também
Vai gritar até a rouquidão
Vai parecer não vir ninguém
Para aplaudir a sua atuação
*solo*
Você vai cantar também
Vai gritar até a rouquidão
Vai parecer não vir ninguém

Let the river flow
Raise up all your plants, if it makes hopeful
Lay down your freeways, they could be useful
Cut down all those trees, they’ll bury anyway
Restlessly rape my land, strong bills you’ll have to pay
Won’t you all please, before it’s too late – let our river flow
Let the mighty river heal your soul
Won’t you all please show love and no hate – let our children grow
Let them little angels reach their goals
Won’t you all please decide your own fate – let us see tomorrow
Let us all believe in a better morrow
Let the river flow, let the river flow
Let the river flow, let the river flow
Let our river flow
Each time a whale goes wrong, then it’s the same with your soul
In abstinence you ain’t that strong, brother, find me through your soul
Swimming smells of toxic waste, speeding up for the living dead
Stuck right in the middle of paste, wish me well ‘cause you’re in dread
Won’t you all please, before it’s too late – let our river flow
Let the mighty river heal your soul
Won’t you all please show love and no hate – let our children grow
Let them little angels reach their goals
Won’t you all please decide your own fate – let us see tomorrow
Let us all believe in a better morrow
Let the river flow – why don’t you let it flow, let it flow
Let the river flow – let its magic waters bless your soul
Let the river flow – why don’t you stop and wonder why
Let the river flow – this piece of stone can’t turn to gold
Let the river flow, let the river flow
Let the river flow, let the river flow
No comments
Blame it on their dreams, (if) now they smell your schemes
You sing to ease their minds, meanwhile your back teeth grinds
Tried to muffle their soul, now they yearn control
Trading peace for dimes, how you repent your crimes
They fear you, you strive
We praise you, they scrape by
You trash them, cast aside
They haunt me, i know why
Spew your tainted truth, deceive their vengeful youth
Sugarcoated stereotypes to conceal beyond our genotype
Some will trust your story, believe you’ll lead them to their glory
Yet you hide behind your fences, behind your spin doctored lenses
They fear you, you strive
We praise you, they scrape by
You trash them, cast aside
They haunt me, i know why
*solo*
They fear you, you strive
We praise you, they scrape by
You trash them, cast aside
They haunt me, i know why
And you still got no comments
And i still got no comments
And we still got no comments...
Lady, maybe…
Lady, lady, lay your weapons down
Those tears might only stain your gown
It’s been so long since the last hopeful town
Since a freedom sun blessed your skins with shades of brown
Lady, maybe. Lady, maybe…
And if the world you paint still remains unsung
I will remind you that the new morning comes with the same old Sun
Just let me show you how your sweet lips silences my weary gun
I’ve never heard about everlasting nights, lend me your hand, take your time and we may have some fun
I hope you can see through all lies
Like you do when you sneak behind my eyes
You know you can dive in my mind
And i’ll always let you guide me if i’m blind
Lady, just lie down and sleep
Lady, just let go and weep
Don’t think peace will come that fast
Maybe redemption will come at last
*solo*
Under control
Johnny looks for protection - ain’t ever gonna look for action
Fighting inner revolutions - and walking with the institutions
Don’t you know he’s one lil’ gentle sheep - like those you count to fall asleep
A higher liar and a selfish loser - and freakin’ maker of heatless fires
His society looks rather positive - but the reality is much more negative
Factitious joys and suffering faces
All that remains is that he’s under control
Johnny’s enterprises are useless - they’re built to ease interior sickness
Still he’s not alone among the living - lot’s of us drift on the same feeling
*solo*
I hope i got the message through – we’d better start a revolution
If you don’t want our children – living up Orwell’s nightmare
His society looks rather positive - but the reality is much more negative
Artificial joys and suffering faces
Even our remains will end up under control
Factitious joys and suffering faces
All that remains
We must be under...
Back off, bitch!
Right outside my door, well it started raining
While a sad lookin’ lady kept complaining
My car didn’t start and i got a bath
This is how i went from jolly to wrath
Then i lit up a joint just calm down
And out of the blue, a cop, like a wet clown
Starts barking at me and getting cumbersome
I yell back, relax man! Chill out and go get some
As i tell him what i want
He complains about his witch
He deserves a little taunt
And i’m thinking “back off bitch”
Went to see a friend just to say hello
He was fooling around all the time he could blow
I saw a piece of cake that make people smile
And we chilled out that night under an even sky
And the same ol’ cop we met came back around
And he was still wearing that suit, you know, in shades of brown
But i thought all the way that he thought that we were just a bunch of lazy bums
When the truth is that we may look like freaks but
We just happen to march to the beat of our own drums…
So, back off bitch!
Kalos
Presque toutes nos décisions sont prises inconsciemment
Can't be careless. Got to, at least, pretend to be concerned
Ayez peu de expectatives/attentes et faites profil bas
Um conselho? Acorde de mau humor e anime-se durante o dia
Wait on life and it'll pass you by
Jamais s'en foutre. Il faut, au moins, faire semblant d'être intéressé
Decidimos quase tudo inconscientemente
Don’t plan a route without a defined destination
Tudo que necessita de esforço se desgasta e, eventualmente, quebra. Física básica.
Attends la vie elle te passera sous le nez
Apologize for the good things you’ve done
Jamais planifier un itinéraire sans une destinée définie
Profetas, pregadores, gurus e políticos e muito sal
Most of our decisions are made unconsciously
Espera pela vida e ela passará por ti
Ce n'est ni un marathon, ni un sprint. C'est juste un tour de montagne russe
We're animals, we're emotional animals but animals anyway
Peça desculpas pelas suas boas ações
Have little expectations and keep a low profile
Nous sommes des animaux. Des animaux émotionnels, certes, mais des animaux néanmoins
Prophets, priests, gurus and politicians and loads of salt
Não planeje uma rota sem um destino definido
Wake up mad and cheer up through the day
Prophètes, prêtres, gourous et politiciens et beaucoup de sel
All that requires effort wears out and eventually breaks. Physics 101
Tenha poucas expectativas e seja discreto
Tout ce qui demande de l'effort, use et, éventuellement, finit par casser
It's neither a marathon nor a sprint. Just a roller-coaster ride!
Somos amimais. Somos animais com emoção, mas somos animais mesmo assim
What’s life? Nothing but disappointments and funky smells
Não é nem uma maratona nem um sprint. É só um passeio de montanha russa!
Demandez pardon pour le bien que vous faites
No fim de tudo, é de amor que se trata
In the very end, it’s all about love…
Au bout du compte, c'est d'amour dont il s'agit
Luz
Nos dias de fome e dor
Olham-me olhos sem luz
Nessas ruas em cruz
Com medo e algum pudor
(se) escondem mais uma vez
Em lençóis de surdez
(mas não foi) sempre assim
Quero sonhar sem fim
(tenho) sonhos de luz em mim
(já) fui chamado doutor
Tinha um conforto fugaz
E a consciencia em paz
Num mundo irrequieto
Indiferença e sorte
Só não nascem com a morte
(mas não foi) sempre assim
Quero sonhar sem fim
(tenho) sonhos de luz em mim
