Nao me iludo Tudo permanecera do jeito que tem sido Transcorrendo Transformando Tempo e espaco navegando todos os sentidos Paes de Acucar Corcovados Fustigados pela chuva e pelo eterno vento Agua mole Pedra dura Tanto bate que nao restara nem pensamento
Tempo rei, o, tempo rei, o, tempo rei Transformai as velhas formas do viver Ensinai-me, o, pai, o que eu ainda nao sei Mae Senhora do Perpetuo, socorrei
Pensamento Mesmo o fundamento singular do ser humano De um momento Para o outro Podera nao mais fundar nem gregos nem baianos Maes zelosas Pais corujas Vejam como as aguas de repente ficam sujas Nao se iludam Nao me iludo Tudo agora mesmo pode estar por um segundo
Tempo rei, o, tempo rei, o, tempo rei Transformai as velhas formas do viver Ensinai-me, o, pai, o que eu ainda nao sei Mae Senhora do Perpetuo, socorrei
(Gimme Your Love by Gilberto Gil and Liminha, lyrics by Gilberto Gil) 1984
Vamos fugir Deste lugar, baby Vamos fugir To cansado de esperar Que voce me carregue
Vamos fugir Proutro lugar, baby Vamos fugir Pronde quer que voce va Que voce me carregue
Pois diga que ira Iraja, Iraja Pronde eu so veja voce Voce veja a mim so Marajo, Marajo Qualquer outro lugar comum Outro lugar qualquer Guapore, Guapore Qualquer outro lugar ao sol Outro lugar ao sul Ceu azul, ceu azul Onde haja so meu corpo nu Junto ao seu corpo nu
Vamos fugir Proutro lugar, baby Vamos fugir Pronde haja um toboga Onde a gente escorregue Todo dia de manha Flores que a gente regue Uma banda de maca Outra banda de reggae
Buffalo Soldier Dreadlock Rasta There was a Buffalo Soldier In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa Brought to America Fighting on arrival Fighting for survival
I mean it, when I analyse the stench To me, it makes a lot of sense How the Dreadlock Rasta
Was the Buffalo Soldier And he was taken from Africa Brought to America Fighting on arrival Fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier Dreadlock Rasta Buffalo Soldier In the heart of America
If you know your history Then you would know where you coming from Then you wouldn't have to ask me Who the heck do I think I am
I'm just a Buffalo Soldier In the heart of America Stolen from Africa, brought to America Said he was fighting on arrival Fighting for survival Said he was a Buffalo Soldier Win the war for America
Buffalo Soldier, trodding through the land Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand Trodding through the land, yea, yea
Buffalo Soldier Win the war for America Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival Driven from the mainland To the heart of the caribbean
Trodding through San Juan In the arms of America Trodding through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Dont let them fool you Or even try to school you, Oh! no Weve got a mind of our own So go to hell if what youre thinkin isnt right Love would never leave us alone In the darkness there must come out to light
Could you be loved and be loved (2x)
The road of life is rocky And you may stumble too So while you point your fingers Someone else is judgin you
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be loved
Dont let them change you Or even rearrange you, Oh! no Weve got a life to live They say only Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive Stay alive
Could you be loved and be loved (2x)
You aint gonna miss your water Until your well runs dry No matter how you treat him The man will never be satisfied
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be, could you be loved Could you be, could you be loved
M은 다이키리 두잔을 거푸 들이켰다. 형식상으로는 승진이지만, 실상 좌천이나 다름없는 회사측의 처사에 단 한마디도 불만을 털어놓지 않았다. 하지만 내심 분통이 터질 것이다. 당장이라도 그만두고 싶은 충동을 느낄 것이다. 별다른 트러블이 없던 나조차도 그만두려 한 적이 한두번이 아니었는데, M은 오죽하겠는가. 웨이트리스도 걱정스런 표정으로 단골손님의 분위기를 살피고 있다. 나는 걱정하지 말라는 뜻으로 손을 휘휘 내저었지만, 그녀의 찡그린 미간은 좀체 펴질줄을 모른다. M의 표정도 여전히 어둠침침하고 세상 절망을 다 보듬은 듯 우울하기만 하다. 한창 흘러나오던 브룩 벤튼의 노래가 돌연 끊기고, 분위기가 전혀 다른, 뭐랄까 레게에 가까운 음악으로 교체되었다. 본래 이 펍이 덥이나 레게를 자주 틀어주는 곳이긴 하지...
