go to top   night song
come sweet daybreak
wrap her in your shroud
show her morn and
lay her down

she is the night surrendering
to the morning sun
she is the naked universe
disappearing
into the light
into the dawn

traces of her fingers
across your face
frost is slowly melting
into ghostly lace
treat her gently
and she will return
remember you need her
she is beautiful

go to top   common cause
what is left
when the day is gone?
leafs are turning in the streets.
beyond the bounds
we’re still fighting for
what we have already won.

we all only just begun
though we are still alone
instead of getting things moving together.
how far can we go wothout
having a common cause?
isolation ain’t no good for us!

we have forgot to share.
we have unlearned to trust ourselves.

how it feels
if we stay apart
waisting our precious time.
i believe
together we are stronger
and able to make things change!

refrain

so what is left
when the years are gone? -
still leaves are turning in the streets.
and beyond the bounds
we will understand
it was wrong to give up!

we have forgot to share.
we have unlearned to trust ourselves.
we have forgot to meet.
we have missed to move orselves.

capital federal
futurista e de muita cor
utopia central
esteria de quem lhe criou

capital federal
de um romance que ele me contou
sonho parcial
nordestino, índio e gaúcho

esperanças mil
se mesclam aqui norte e sul

planalto central
suas linhas me cativou
arquiterura e know how
brilhante é quem lhe criou

esperanças mil
se mesclam aqui norte e sul
 
paranoá é o mar da cidade seca
que não viu a dor sonho não terminou
paranoá tuas ondas refletem a luz
da capital que o futuro esperou

retas largas, longe suas ruas vão

pureza, paz e amor
lá onde tudo vê
na torre tem mais cor
traz novo badauê
o sonho acabou
todo mundo vê
mas ninguém quer ver

o poeta já dizia

que o telefone é muito pouco
pra quem ama como louco
e mora no plano piloto
  bsb
federal capital
futuristic and colorful
central utopia
your creator was overcome with hysteria

federal capital  
a fiction which he told me about
apartial dream
northerners, natives and southerners

a bunch of hope
mixed right here north and south

central tableland
your lines captivated me
architecture and know how
brilliant is your creator

a bunch of hope
mixed right here north and south

paranoá is the ocean of this arid town
which hasnt seen the pain because the dream hasnt finished yet
paranoá your waves reflect the light
of the capital city that the future was expecting

wide horizon, streets go so far  

clarity, peace and love
there we can see just everything
on the top it is even more colorful
which brings a completely new badauê
the dream is over now
and every one has to see it
but no-one wants to see it

the poet had already told

that a phone is not enough
for the ones who love like crazy
and live in Brasília
 
go to top   les éclairs
I’ll be killing time
I’ll be killing space

when-then-that
evening turned to gold
when-then-that
evening turned to gold

le temps
coule
fort
trop fort, trop froid

I’ll be killing time
I’ll be killing space

le monde qui m’était ami
ce monde s’éteint

ses éclairs m’éffrayent
me paralisent

m’éffrayent et
m’égaient

ce monde qui m’était ami

le monde qui m’était ami
s’éteint
le monde qui m’était ami
s’écroule

time
space
 
evening turned to gold
  flashes
I’ll be killing time
I’ll be killing space

when-then-that
evening turned to gold
when-then-that
evening turned to gold

time
tears me down
heavy
too heavy, too cold

I’ll be killing time
I’ll be killing space

that world, that was so dear to me
that world is vanishing

its flashes frighten me,
paralyse me

they frighten me
theyre laughing at me

that world, that was so dear to me

that world, that was so dear to me
is vanishing
that world, that was so dear to me
caves in

time
space

evening turned to gold
 
go to top   lua nua
e então clariou
meia lua vai mirar
retina do seu olhar

me guia, fria
por onde ancorar

meia lua inteira gira
branca linda
minguante cheia
cheia brilha

teu sexo é  cor
faz pirar
feitiço que me seduz
na melodia na tua luz
lua nua me conduz
 
clariou
lua vai clariar
me pegou
no fundo do seu olhar
me guia,fria

leve solto como a pluma que o vento traz
de além do mar
traz enfim o beijo que nunca quis
vem e vai com a brisa do mar
 
estação lunar
estrela azul
no íntimo do teu nu

clariou
lua vai clariar
me pegou
no fundo do seu olhar
me guia,fria
  nude moon
and the sky brightened
half moon is aiming at
the retina of your look

guides me, cold
wherever I am anchored

half moon rotates completely
white and beautiful
full moon, old moon
full moon shines

your sex is color
it drives me crazy
enchantment that tempts me
your melody and splendor
nude moon leads me

brightened
the moon is going to shine
caught me
deep inside your eyes
guides me, cold

slight and free like a plume brought by the wind from the far ocean
finally bring the kiss I never wanted
come and go with the seas breeze

moon season
blue star
innermost of your nude

brightened
the moon is going to shine
caught me
deep inside your eyes
guides me, cold
 
go to top   motion capture
appearing in the soft fog right behind the eyes
a motion capture bathes in rainbow colored iris
visits right brain city for a while

seeks middle ground becomes spread out
too thinly for remaining tangible
memory’s grip slips off to let it fall
it won’t hit bottom.

instead will come undone into

this different picture, this different picture
different picture, this different picture
of the world in you.

visits right brain city for a while

seeks middle ground becomes spread out

memory’s grip slpips off tp let it fall

this different picture, different picture
this different picture, different picture
of the world in you

nieve
la nieve
se cae del cielo
la nieve
sin saber

susurra su poema cristallino
mientras ademas lo deja al olvido
abre un abanico blanco
compuesto todo de color

la nieve
se cae del cielo

ademas lo deja al olvido

porque no caerse
salvajemente
porque no seguir cayendo
hasta siempre

  the snow
the snow
falls from the sky
the snow
without knowing

whispers its cristalline poem
even while it turns it over to oblivion
opens a white fan
composed all of colour

the snow
falls from the sky

even turns it over to oblivion

why not fall
wildly
why not keep on falling
until ever
 
 
go to top  

pepe
pepe is a boy who’s filled with music
and he could play most anything his heart desired
sometimes he would sit down just for hours
and play whatever came to his little head
he would make a song to sing, yes he would


he would play some changes that would blow my mind
he could rearrange things keeping perfect time
I forgot to mention pepe knows to sing
he can play the guitar and almost anything

even when it’s freezing cold outside
he’d sit right down and open his eyes and say:
"think I’ll write some music today"

he would play piano 8 hours a day
with his tape recorder he would sit and tape
song after another rolling right along
he’d record his doorbell even his telephone
nobody complained about his music
’cause it would soothe every muscle in your body
music is just that real you see

pepe, pepe play, keep on playing music
pepe, pepe play, keep on playing pepe

 
 
go to top  

pomegranate
give to you
a necklace made from
moments you have missed


give to you
a memory bracelet
you can wear upon your wrist

give to you
words unspoken
whispered soft and low

give to you
my homeland mountains
so you can taste the snow

I’ll take you where
each summer meadow
spills flowers for the sun
and nightingales
sing songs of sorrow
to bid the night-time
come...

So you can know, you can know
where this yearning’s coming from
you can know, you can know
the things that I do not
you can know, you can know
what it’s like in counter time
you can know, you can know
you can know and I can belong

give to you
a soul that’s burdened
with such history

give to you
love thrown asunder
re-discovered in a dream

give to you
my heart so you can
feel exactly what I feel
I give to you
this pomegranate
broken from the tree

(chorus)

I’ll take you where
each bowing reed dips
its chin in waters deep
under which lie
ancient temples
beside which we can sleep
and sense the breath
of those who murmer
from the belly of the lake
they give us strenght
to explore the wonder
of life and love and faith

 
go to top   the hike
You say, what a beautiful smile. I reply: you’re in luck ‘cause that’s my style.

That was simple. As simple as Simon says. Who says I’ll surcomb to Simon’s
simple suggestions? It really can be that simple. Back to basics.
 
Do you appreciate the songs sung by the birds? Let’s take a hike into the woods.

Open up to appreciate the livelihood of your senses.
Smell the aromas, the bushes, dry dirt, pollination, even your own sweat and tanning skin.

Can you see? The energy that makes up our universe. I sight  swirling particles
and organisms dashing in and out of focus, the lovely simple things, that’s my style.
 
The sound of crickets rubbing their legs together. Dirt slipping from under your feet
causing you to slip three steps back after you’ve climbed five steps forward.
What do you think ? Can we taste those little wildberries ?
The simple things, the lovely simple things.

I can go on and on and on. I like to play in the rain. Let’s watch the sun rise
and the sun set. I’ve always wanted to touch those colors of the days. Check it out:
 
The peace of purple, the youth of yellow, the oils of orange, the bands of blue
and the slightest clue of color that calms the collecttion.
That’s my style.

The simple things, the lovely simple things.
The simple things, the lovely simple things.
 
 
go to top   viver
o amor
vai passar
na luz até o dia clariar
o amor
vai brincar
de min sonhos e o ar

quero viver o teu sorriso
vivenciar o teu amor
a alegria a gente a sonhar
eu quero o povo brasileiro
saber sambar sem sentir dor
a cada dia a clariar

recontrar o mar
e a naturza a minha frente
respirar o ar
e a alegria desta gente
na imensidao do azul
moleque corre contente
no meu rio nu
perigo, amor derrepente
  to live  
love is going to pass
trough the light until daylight is complete
love is going to make jokes
of me and my dreams trough the air

I want to feel your smile
to live your love
to be happy while I’m dreaming
I want the Brazilian common people
because they know how to dance samba without feeling pain
each day of their lives, until the day clears up

I want to meet the ocean and the nature again
I want to breath the air and the happiness of this folk
through the huge bluish horizon runs a satisfied boy
and inside my nude river is danger, suddenly love
 
go to top   written in the leaves
in a lightning flash
I realised I’d met my match
mind to mind
eye to eye
I was yours and you were mine

travelled
miles away
but it was in our hearts
everyday
I heard the old
you saw the new
you came back for me
and I was there for you

spinning
round the universe
I have broken
the gypsy’s curse
it may be written in the leaves
but it’s in you that I believe

listen when I despair
speak my name
show understanding
never hide the truth
there’s you and me
and there’s me and you
