Pra Não Dizer Que Não Falei das Flores | Geraldo Vandré ‧ 1979
Somos todos iguais, braços dados ou não
Nas escolas, nas ruas, campos, construções
Caminhando e cantando e seguindo a canção
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Vem, vamos embora, que esperar não é saber
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Pelas ruas marchando indecisos cordões
Ainda fazem da flor seu mais forte refrão
E acreditam nas flores vencendo o canhão
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Vem, vamos embora, que esperar não é saber
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Quase todos perdidos de armas na mão
Nos quartéis lhes ensinam uma antiga lição
De morrer pela pátria e viver sem razão
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Vem, vamos embora, que esperar não é saber
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Somos todos soldados, armados ou não
Caminhando e cantando e seguindo a canção
Somos todos iguais, braços dados ou não
A certeza na frente, a história na mão
Caminhando e cantando e seguindo a canção
Aprendendo e ensinando uma nova lição
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Vem, vamos embora, que esperar não é saber
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer
Vem, vamos embora, que esperar não é saber
Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer

Sonha que a vida é só sonhar
Toma depressa enquanto é bom
Sim, depois o amor é só chorar
Sonha que tudo é só sonhar (sonha que tudo é só sonhar)
Toma do amor tudo que é bom
Toma depressa enquanto é bom
Sim, depois o amor é só chorar (sim, depois o amor é só chorar)
Depois o amor é só chorar (e depois o amor é só chorar)

Jean Ferrat - Nuit et Brouillard (1963)
1.
Nus et maigres tremblants, dans ces wagons plombés
Qui déchiraient la nuit de leurs ongles battants
Ils étaient des milliers, ils étaient vingt et cent.
Ils se croyaient des hommes, n'étaient plus que des nombres
Depuis longtemps leurs dés avaient été jetés
Dès que la main retombe il ne reste qu'une ombre
Ils ne devaient jamais plus revoir l'été.
2
La fuite monotone et sans hâte du temps
Survivre encore un jour, une heure obstinément
Combien de tours de roues, d'arrêts et de départs
Qui n'en finissent pas de distiller l'espoir
Ils s'appelaient Jean-Pierre, Natacha ou Samuel
Certains priaient Jésus, Jéhovah ou Vichnou
D'autres ne priaient pas mais qu'importe le ciel
Ils voulaient simplement ne plus vivre à genoux.
3
Ils n'arrivaient pas tous à la fin du voyage
Ceux qui sont revenus peuvent-ils être heureux ?
Ils essaient d'oublier, étonnés qu'à leur âge
Les veines de leurs bras soient devenues si bleues
Les Allemands guettaient du haut des miradors
La lune se taisait comme vous vous taisiez
En regardant au loin, en regardant dehors
Votre chair était tendre à leurs chiens policiers.
4
On me dit à présent, que ces mots n'ont plus cours
Qu'il vaut mieux ne chanter que des chansons d'amour
Que le sang sèche vite en entrant dans l'histoire
Et qu'il ne sert à rien de prendre une guitare
Mais qui donc est de taille à pouvoir m'arrêter
L'ombre s'est faite humaine aujourd'hui c'est l'été
Je twisterais les mots s'il fallait les twister
Pour qu'un jour les enfants sachent qui vous étiez.
Vous étiez vingt et cent, vous étiez des milliers
Nus et maigres tremblants, dans ces wagons plombés
Qui déchiriez la nuit de vos ongles battants
Vous étiez des milliers, vous étiez vingt et cent.
Chanson Nuit et brouillard, écrite, composée et interprétée par Jean Ferrat, 1963

"Tô Feliz (Matei O Presidente)" | Gabriel O Pensador
Todo mundo bateu palma quando o corpo caiu
A criminalidade toma conta da minha mente
Achei que não teria que fazê-lo novamente
Mas tenho pesadelos recorrentes, o Temer na minha frente
E eu cantando "Tô feliz, matei o presidente"
Fantasmas do passado, dos meus tempos de assassino
Quando eu matei o outro, eu era apenas um menino
Agora, palestrante, autor de livro infantil
Não fica bem matar o presidente do Brasil
Já sei, vamo pra DP, vou me entregar
Chama o delegado, por favor, seu Gabriel o Pensador
O homem que eles amam odiar
Cantei FDP, pega ladrão, nunca serão
E agora chega! Até quando a gente vai ter que apanhar?
Porrada da esquerda e da direita
Derrubaram algumas peças, mas a mesa tá difícil de virar
Anota o meu depoimento e me prende aqui dentro
Que eu não quero ir pra Brasília dar um tiro no Michel
Aí, que maravilha! Mata mesmo esse vampiro
Mas um tiro é muito pouco Gabriel
Mata e canta assim:
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, hoje eu tô feliz
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente, matei o presidente
E a polícia ofereceu apoio pra minha missão
"Ninguém vai te prender, policial também é povo
Já matamo presidente, irmão, vai lá e faz de novo"
Que é isso?! Eu sou da paz, detesto arma de fogo
Deve ter outro jeito de o Brasil virar o jogo
Se é contra arma de fogo, vai no estilo dos nativos
Invade a Câmara e pega os sacanas distraídos
Com veneno na zarabatana, bem no pé do ouvido
Em nome da Amazônia desmatada
Leva um arco e muitas flechas e finca uma no coração de cada
Cambada de demônio; demorou, manda pro inferno
Já tão todos de terno, e pro enterro vai facilitar
Envia pro capeta com as maletas de dinheiro sujo
De sangue de tantos brasileiros e vamos cantar"
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, hoje eu tô feliz
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente, matei o presidente
Mas nem é julgado
Já tinha comprado vários deputados
Fora o foro privilegiado
Então mata o desgraçado
Cabeça vira bola e a pelada vai rolar (Chuta!)
Corta a cabeça dele sem perdão
Que essa cabeça rolando vale mais do que o Neymar
Fácil, um tiro só, bem no olho do safado
E não me arrependo nem um pouco do que eu fiz
Tomei uma providência que me fez muito feliz
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Hoje eu tô feliz, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente, matei o presidente
Matei o presidente
(Matei o presidente, matei o presidente, matei o presidente)
Mas se todos oscorruptos morressem de repente
Ia ser tudo diferente, ia sobrar tanto dinheiro
Que andaríamos nas ruas sem temer o tempo inteiro
Seu pai não ia ser assaltado, seu filho não ia virar ladrão
Sua mãe não ia morrer na fila do hospital
E seu primo não ia se matar no Natal
Seu professor não ia lecionar sem esperança
Você não ia querer fazer uma mudança de país
Sua filha ia poder brincar com outras crianças
E ninguém teria que matar ninguém pra ser feliz
E é o povo desunido que se mata por partido
Sem razão e sem noção
Chamando políticos ridículos de Mito
E às vezes nem acredito num futuro mais bonito
Quando o grito é sufocado pelo crime organizado instituído
Que censura, tortura e fatura em cima da desgraça
Mas, no fundo, ainda creio no poder da massa
Nossa voz tomando as praças, encurtando as diferenças
Recompondo essa bagaça, quero é recompensa
O Pensador é contra violência
Mas aqui a gente peca por excesso de paciência
Com o "rouba, mas faz" dos verdadeiros marginais
São chamados de Doutor e Vossa Excelência

“I want to know how it feels / 'Cause I / I only play act for-real”
I
'Cause I
I only play it for-real
You should be picking me up
Instead you're dragging me down
Flying over my head
You're landing all over town
You know that I try
Try to tell you the truth
Oh baby don't make me cry
You should be picking me up
Instead you're dragging me down
Now I'm missing you more (more)
'Cause baby you're not around
Now that you're not around
I want to know how it feels
'Cause I
I only play for-real
You should be picking me up
Instead your dragging me down
I could be giving you love (love)
But you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Glad that you're not around

I can't seem to make you mine | The Seeds
I can't seem to make you mine
Flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I tried everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you
A little bit of love, not one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
A love that's real that'll stay
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
End my misery
I give you love night and day
Don't ever ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back darlin', 'cause I need your love
Come back, 'cause I wanna love ya
Girl, I wanna love ya tonight
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back to you
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine, I feel I'm steady, where's my love?
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Feel I'm ready for my love
Cryin' all the time
Just cryin' all the time
And you ain't no friend of mine
Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught no rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
And you ain't no friend of mine
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Well, that was just a lie
You know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught no rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
While Elvis Presley made the song a global rock-and-roll phenomenon when he released his version in 1956, Thornton’s original recording—produced by Johnny Otis and written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller—was a massive R&B hit''

Honey Man
Canção de Tim Buckley ‧ 1973
Just a hanging 'round the rising sun,
You know you can't hold out against a boy who's
A whiskey fast and a honey slow;
I wish I was, I wish I was your,
I wish I was your honey man,
I wish I was your, sweet little honey man;
And when the bee's inside the hive,
You gonna holler in the thick of love,
I'll buy you all the jag I can,
This honey man's gonna' sting you again;
Oh, your little eyes never flicker,
I wished I was that cool,
And then your love just a wouldn't matter at all

Vejam Bem | Canção de José Afonso
Vejam bem
Quando um homem se põe a pensar
Quando um homem se põe a pensar
Dorme à noite ao relento na areia
Dorme à noite ao relento no mar
Dorme à noite ao relento no mar
Uma praça de gente madura
E uma estátua
E uma estátua de frebe a arder
Pela noite de breu à procura
E não há quem lhe queira valer
E não há quem lhe queira valer
Daquele homem a fraca figura
Desbravando os caminhos do pão
Desbravando os caminhos do pão
Uma praça de gente madura
Ninguém vem levantá-lo do chão
Ninguém vem levantá-lo do chão
Que não há só gaivotas em terra
Quando um homem
Quando um homem se põe a pensar
Dorme à noite ao relento na areia
Dorme à noite ao relento no mar
Dorme à noite ao relento no mar

Insanity Comes Quietly To The Structured Mind
Janis Ian
She sits on a window still. Looking down, it's quite a thrill
Imagery, imagining what it is like to be dead
She walks out upon the ledge. Searching for the living end,
She wonders, wondering just what has changed in her head
Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain
She prepares her face at last. Taking off the piece of glass
Wrapped 'round her eyes
She doesn't cry. She's very young
She's very bright to die
Then so quickly, she stands up. Takes her shoes off in a lump,
She lays them down; lately she has drowned
Checks to see her room is neat. Making sure her clothes are clean,
Dying - death and dirty clothing puts you down
Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain
Then so quickly she stands up. Crouches low, prepares to jump
Quite properly, pretending she's in gym shooting a basketball
Floating downward through the air. Remembering the state of her hair,
She falls, and nobody hears it at all
Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain
Yes, dawn coming through the rain, it has washed her mind away
I went ahead and made my bed. Nothing really need be said
But she's dead
You can have it cause I don't want it
If you want it you can have it
I can't take it, I'm falling, I'm calling
Please, please help me, please help me
Angela Aki/Janis Ian
Every woman is a story
Might not always have a happy ending
Every story has a history,
And the past is always worth remembering
To all the women who have gone before me
To all the women who are yet to come
We all have our separate stories
But from a distance, they are one
We are a rainbow of faces,
And a tapestry of songs
We all come from different places in this world
Though we are strangers when we meet,
We are sisters when we're done
We are beauty - we are mystery
We are one
We are every woman's song
Every woman is a journey
We are always right where we belong
Hearts can guide us, hearts can blind us
Still we carry on
So thank you to the mothers
And the daughters of my soul
To all the women I will never know
You have given me a voice that I can call my own
You are beauty - you are mystery
You are one
You are every woman's song
We are a rainbow of faces,
and a tapestry of songs
We all come from different places in this world
Though we are strangers when we meet,
We are sisters when we're done
We are beauty - we are mystery
We are one
We are every woman's song
Miriam Therese Winter/Janis Ian
I am the rays of the rising sun
Snow on the mountains of the moon
The far-flung canopy of stars
The shadows of late afternoon
I am the wisdom of the sage
I am the refuge of all who weep
I am the mother of all who live
I am the promises I keep
I am the one who sits with sorrow
I am the one who feels your pain
I am the hope of your tomorrow
When all is lost, I still remain
I am the one who will remain
I am the seed that longs to bloom
The river yearning for the sea
The heartfelt hope of every womb
I am the faith you place in me
I am the silence and the sound
The gentle rain that breaks the stone
I am the dream of love unbound
I am the way that calls you home
I am the one who sits with sorrow
I am the one who feels your pain
I am the hope of your tomorrow
When all is lost, I will remain
I am the one who will remain
I am the one who sits with sorrow
I am the one who feels your pain
I am the hope of your tomorrow
When all is lost, I will remain
I am the one. I still remain.
You're Too Late
Janis Ian/Kye Fleming
You're too late for my love
You're too late, I can't wait up another night
You can kiss my love goodbye
You're too late, you're too late, you're too late
The clock on the wall keeps ticking
but you don't even try to call
If you think I sit at home
waiting by the phone
Honey, this one time you're wrong
You expect me to be patient
You expect me to be calm
There's a limit to my love
You've already used it up
and I'm already half-past gone
You're too late for my love
You're too late, I can't wait up another night
You can kiss my love goodbye
You're too late, you're too late, you're too late
There's no light shining in my window
There's no key up above my door
I know it's hard to believe
but there's been a change in me
and I don't miss you any more
You're too late for my love
You're too late, I can't wait up another night
You can kiss my love goodbye
You're too late, you're too late, you're too late
Hope you're out there somewhere
with somebody new who'll help you settle down
'cause baby if you're coming back to me
you'll only find I'm not around
You're too late for my love
You're too late, I can't wait up another night
You can kiss my love goodbye
You're too late, you're too late, you're too late

Janis Ian - Stars (live 1974)
what I really feel
Except tonight, I'm bringing
everything I know that's real
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light
of the sun, all in a blaze
and all you see is glory
But it gets lonely there
when there's no one here to share
We can shake it away
if you'll hear a story
Like athletes in a game
we break our collarbones
and come up swinging
Some of us are downed
Some of us are crowned
and some are lost
and never found
But most have seen it all
They live their lives in
sad cafes and music halls
They always have a story
before the world has
done its dirty job
and later on, someone will say
"You've had your day
You must make way"
But they'll never know the pain
of living with a name you never owned
or the many years forgetting
what you know too well
have been let down
You try to make amends
without defending
you never saw the eyes
of grown men of twenty five
that followed as you walked
and asked for autographs
or kissed you on the cheek
and you never could believe
they really loved you
(Perhaps they have a soul
they're not afraid to bare
Or perhaps there's nothing there)
men will want to see,
so they put it on display
Some people play a fine guitar
I could listen to them
play all day
Some ladies really
move across a stage
and gee, they sure can dance
I guess I could learn how
if I have it half a chance
when my body tries to soar
and I seem to always worry
about missing the next chord
to put up on display
except the tunes
and whatever else I say
Anyway, that isn't really
what I meant to say
I meant to tell a story
I live from day to day
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light
of the sun, all in a blaze
and all you see is glory
But those who've seen it all
they live their lives
in sad cafes and music halls
we always have a story
with my fumbling around,
I'll come up singing for you
even when I'm down
O Anti-Fado
Perante as grandes verdades

“Como um sonho acordado” (Fausto), com Adolfo Luxúria Canibal
Inteirinha atrás de mim
O medo ronda-me os sentidos
Por abaixo da minha pele
Ao esgueirar-se viscoso
Escorre pegajoso
E sai
Pelos meus poros
Pelos meus ais
Ele penetra-me nos ossos
Ao derramar-se sedento
Nas entranhas sinuosas
Entre as vísceras mordendo
Salta e espalha-se no ar
Vai e volta
Delirante
Tão delirante
É como um sonho acordado
Esse vulto besuntado
A revolver-se no lodo
A deslizar de uma larva
Emergindo lá no fundo
Tenho medo ó medo
Leva tudo é tudo teu
Mas deixa-me ir
Arrasta-me à côncava do fundo
Do grande lago da noite
Cruzando as grades de fogo
Entre o Céu e o Inferno
Até à boca escancarada
Esfaimada
Atrás de mim
Atrás de mim
É como um sonho acordado
Esses olhos no escuro
Das carpideiras viúvas
Pelo pai assassinado
Desventrado por seu filho
Que possuiu lascivo
A sua própria mãe
E sua amante
Meu amor quando eu morrer
Ó linda
Veste a mais garrida saia
Se eu vou morrer no mar alto
Ó linda
E eu quero ver-te na praia
Mas afasta-me essas vozes
Linda
Tens medo dos vivos
E dos mortos decepados
Pelos pés e pelas mãos
E p'lo pescoço e pelos peitos
Até ao fio do lombo
Como te tremem as carnes
Fernão Mendes

Flatlands | Mark Lanegan
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
Soft and steady breeze
Bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
Dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands
Will you go there with me?
When it's dead in your heart but your mind is unafraid
When it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
When it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
