Respiro o teu corpo: sabe a lua-de-água ao amanhecer,
sabe a cal molhada, sabe a luz mordida,
sabe a brisa nua,
ao sangue dos rios,
sabe a rosa louca,
ao cair da noite sabe a pedra amarga,
sabe à minha boca.

Eugénio de Andrade

Now the future’s staring at me
Like a vision from the past
And I know these crumbs they sold me
They’re never going to last

Though we know the culture war
We don’t know what it’s for
But we’ve lived a southern strategy
But no, it’s never going to last
So keep it in the past

These are different times that we’re living in
These are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
They’re paying for our crimes

You left while I was sleeping
You said it’s damning
Oh, I’ve read a little Bible
You see what you want to see

Oh, we know the culture war
We don’t know what it’s for
But we’ve lived your southern strategy
We know it’s never going to last
So keep that shit in the past

These are different times that we’re living in
Because these are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
They’re paying for our crimes

These are different times that we’re living in
These are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
They’re paying for our crimes

The dominos, they never fell
Our bodies they still burn
I throw my hand into the fire
But still I never learn
Will I ever learn?

These are different times
Now the kids are growing up so fast
Paying for our crimes

We’ll be soldiers for mommy and dad
In your culture wars

We’ll be soldiers for mommy and dad
Don’t know what it’s for

We’re soldiers now
In the culture war

We’re soldiers now
But we don’t know what it’s for

We’re soldiers now
In the culture war

We’re soldiers now
But we don’t know what it’s for

So tell me, what’s it for?

You want it? You got it
Here’s your culture war

You want it, now you got it
So tell me, what’s it for?

You want it? You got it
Here’s your culture war

You want it, now you got it
So tell me what’s it for?

Yeah tell me, what’s it for?

Letra de Arcade Fire

Corre Nina
A casa da praia
Foi tempo de uma flor sem tempo
De uma geração

Dia a dia a marcha da vida
Foi um amor sem palavras
Chuvas de verão
Diz-me onde é que tu moras
Diz-me o que fazes depois do adeus

Um encontro
Um cantar de amigos
Aplausos ou desprezo para o cantor
A cantiga é quando um homem quiser
E eu já sei que deve ser cantiga de amor

Hoje canto com quadras à solta
Deito a semente na terra lavrada

10 Anos é muito tempo
Muitos dias, muitas horas a cantar
10 Anos é muito tempo
Deste tempo inteiro que eu vos quero dar

Em Lisboa, menina e moça
Do meu canto de esperança nasceu a Nini
E agora, que eu canto e sei porquê
É por isso que gostava de vos ver aqui.

10 Anos é muito tempo
Muitos dias, muitas horas a cantar
10 Anos é muito tempo
Deste tempo inteiro que eu vos quero dar

Música e letra de Paulo de Carvalho

I know you spent some time
From the town to the city
Looking for a life to start
And when you were fifteen
I know what you said
“I’ll never let another black boy break my heart”

You waited a decade
For me to come find you
There’s never been a chance so rare
I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love
And there had never been someone so real

This was love
And I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head

As if it wasn’t enough just to hear you speak
They had to give you lips like that
Like all of your sadness reduced to a color
Then painted upon you
How could I forget you
And who was I to think that on a Saturday night
That you would really bike home alone
And the way that I left you
Just hanging on SundaysTwin Shadow
And fair skin boy take you home

This was love
And I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my head

letra de ‘Tyrant Destroyed’ dos Twin Shadow.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day

Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here’s the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day
Real, real, real, real bright, bright sunshinin’ day
Yeah, hey, it’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day
