J'aime les Trois Maries le ciel noir le intineraire et le cul de sac Je regardais les trois le monde orange la plage des palmiers et le cine noir J’écoutais leur voix le patois je ne sais quoi et la petite Mama de Gantois Somebody gave you water Somebody is looking for you Somebody loves you, baby And nobody knows Une autre endroite, une autre vie j’ai vu un plaque froid et triste comme l’hiver J’écoutais les Maries memme la plus distante et l'aquelle que dorme devant la television Marie Fulô Marie, Marie La Marie de ma chanson c'est la Marie de ma vie

Life grows up everywhere the stuff we're made of everywhere Orange, violet and blue everywhere music in the underground everywhere Comes and goes an injured cupid everywhere blossomed cherry trees and flowers everywhere Love that fades away everywhere a samba for the radio everywhere I'm ready to go everywhere

Erundina Song 04:52
lyrics

Queria tanto escrever uma canção de amor pra Erundina no norte a gente ve as coisas de um jeito diferente humanizar o inferno é construir dez mil cisternas a cada dia fazer amor no asfalto e ver o sol raiar do alto das montanhas Vixe, a cidade afunda numa boa Queria tanto fazer uma canção de amor pra Erundina dizer-lhe que o calor da terra seca e a carne preta da cidade estão à venda e aquele sírio-libanês parar o metrô mais uma vez ali na esquina o centro velho virou novo e o povo todo agradeceu às margaridas

I Hope 03:38

In love caused a lot of joy caused a lot of tears Too much holes into my wheels sand upon my reels My song walks into this way hundreds of miles away Turn on and make this baby say daddy is on his way Believe and do it as we wish selfish as a fish I hope no legend in my time but history is on my side I hope

She's So Fine 06:18
lyrics
buy track
Moon and me the orbit and the poetry a wish upon a star and higher is where you are Sun and sky this trip will take you very,very high be a dove over the sea be a god and let your love reign over me. She's so fine and she is mine Blue and red and all the things you undoubtfully said in the slaughterhouse of love in a way oh, I was so frankly shocked Tried so hard to keep this very sad things quite apart to get the sunny side at least a quarter of my life She's so fine and she is mine She's so fine like that shiny sacred instant of a rhyme she's a little piece of me that isn't mine she's the most authentic painture I can watch to and it's a great relief of having her to talk to I'll write a poem of tristesse 'cause she's unhappy with the way some people dress I'm gonna say ''baby, this is just me and I'm trying to figure out some poetry'
