Caetano Veloso - A Foreign Sound (2004) by Caetano Veloso (보컬) on maniadb.com

Strange dear, but dear
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
so in lobe whit you am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why
So in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours, till I die...
So in love... So in love...
So in love with you, my love... am I...

are the stars out tonight?
i can't tell if it's cloudy or bright
'cause i only have eyes for you
the moon may be high
but i can't see a thing in the sky
'cause i only have eyes for you
i don't know if we're in a garden
or on a crowded avenue
you are here, so am i
maybe millions of people go by
but they all disappear from view
and i only have eyes for you

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away ro-mance
Are you pretending?
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove
my life's a wreck you're making
You know that I'm yours
for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
myself to you body and soul

I Can't believe it...

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Ovel land and sea
A litte shy and sad fo eye
But very wise was he

And then onde day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest things you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return "

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream,
And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
The he for me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
For/To me it's clear
That he'll appear.

Some day he'll come along,
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay.

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand ;
And in a little while,
He'll take my hand ;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not ;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I'll never roam,
Who would - would you ?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love.

there will be many other nights like this
and i'll be standing here with someone new
there will be other songs to sing
another fall... another spring...
but there will never be another you
there will be other lips that i may kiss
but they won't thrill me
like yours used to do
yes, i may dream a million dreams
but how can they come true
if there will never, ever be another you?
there will be many other nigths like this
and i'll be standing here with someone new
there will be other songs to sing
another fall... another spring...
but there will never be another you
there will be other lips that i may kiss
but they won't thrill me
like yours used to do
yes, i may dream a million dreams
but how can they come true
if there will never, ever be another you?

they asked me how i knew
my true love was true
i of course replied
something here inside
cannot be denied
they said someday you'll find
all who love are blind
when your heart's on fire
you must realize
smoke gets in your eyes
so i chaffed them and i gaily laughed
to think they could doubt my love
yet today my love has flown away
i am without my love
now laughing friends deride
tears i cannot hide
so i smile and say
when a lovely flame dies
smoke gets in your eyes

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with all your might
Oh, please stay by me,
Baby I love You, Diana
Baby I love You, Diana

they say into your early life romance came
and in this heart of yours burnt a flame
a flame that flickered one day and died away
then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
you learned that fools in love soon grow wise
the years have changed you somehow
i see you now
smoking, drinking
never thinking of tomorrow
nonchalant
diamonds shining
dancing, dining
with some man in a restaurant
is that all you really want
no, sophisticated lady, i know
you miss the love you had long ago
and when nobody is nigh
you cry

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memory.
Memori-a
Memori-a.
Memori-a.

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory.
Memori-a
Memori-a
Memori-a

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
I don't have a gun

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my heart.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my life.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...
(repeat & fade)

Just two points of contact
I don't have too much detachment
I just get in there
And I play scrabble
Don't want no pumpy dog "Uh uh"
I'm taken possesion
I'm too blond for y'all
I hit you as I fall

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I look a trip on a sailling ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning arround
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Akee rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is downs, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter every where
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Thoug I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I look a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached
Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm said to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.

Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
for being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
I cried a river over you


You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
while you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

If it's magic then why can't it be everlasting?
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets in this rhyme
Like the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing then why can't it be never leaving?
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

If it's special then with it why aren't we as careful?
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

So if it's magic, why can't we make it everlasting?
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone

perhaps i had a wicked childhood
perhaps i had a miserable youth
but somewhere in my wicked
miserable past
there must have been a moment of truth
for here you are
standing there
loving me
whether or not you should
so somewhere in my youth or childhood
i must have done something good
nothing comes from nothing
nothing ever could
so somewhere in my youth or childhood
i must have done something good

sometimes i wonder why i spend
the lonely nights
dreaming of a song
that melody haunts my reverie
and i am once again whith you
when our love was new
and each kiss an inspiration
but that was long ago
and now my consolation
is in the stardust of a song
beside a garden wall
where stars are bright
you are in my arms
the nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise where roses grew
though i dream in vain
in my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
the memory of love's refrain

blue skies
smiling at me
nothing but blue skies
do i see
bluebirds
snging a song
nothing but bluebirds
all day long
never saw the sun shining so bright
never saw things going so right
noticing the days hurryng by
when you're in love, my, how the fly
blue days
all of them gone
nothing but blue skies
from now on
