Is There Another World?
01:13
|
|||
|
I never saw a world
trembling alone
sounds of another dance
lead me to dawn
I see the stars
shining above
telling me where
to head, I suppose
songs of another day
travel to me
space-time within a reach
then I will see
when I wake up
will you be there
another me,
I don't know where
Is there another world
am I alone
how can I say the word
to matters unknown
give me a sign,
how to break through
into a world
of magnetic truths

Feeling closer every day
Love is showing us the way
I can feel your attraction
We can feel interaction
Love me now
before we have to go away
All is living, all is dying
Funny how we keep on trying
Moon, Earth, sister, brother
Like them we have each other
Love me now
before we have to go away
Nothing stays the same
and things are changing every day
Make it now, while we have time
to make it all the way
all the way
Time for love is here and now
Love as much as you know how
A star shines, a dream shatters
Love is all that matters
Love me now
before we have to go away

Vampires on Horses
02:07
|

|
Ela montra te chi
quando le ciel streme
yo tombere le cuore
como les onde der mer blau
si tu continu tan-tan
perfemere tu bom
perque les spume des ondes
continerotru bum
I'll be shooting from the stars and the moon
directly to your heart
for when you listen to the stars and the moon
it will tear you
apart
one Summer day
when all the skies are clear, I'll
step down from the mountains
wash my face in rivers
that stream on tv
through analog devices
airing from the old days
of golden radio.

Grãos de Arroz
02:06
|
|||
|
Semeei os grãos de arroz
nas lutas do plural
O sindicato em Pequim
não deixa amor entrar.
O luar, o véu sem cor
o extremo capital
O livro que era o meu lençol
abriu na diagonal.

O Estacionamento
01:28
|
|||
|
A banda desenhada
A fita magnética
O rolo de cozinha
A pancadaria
A estrada perdida
O estacionamento
A cristalizar.
O macho da província
O saco de farinha
A cara da menina
A Ana Maria
A chama perdida
O encontro marcado
À luz do luar...
A fome da vizinha
Os quartos ocupados
Os secos e molhados
O meu papagaio
Repete umas coisas
que ouve na rua
e sai a voar.

Millions of Reflections
01:09
|
|||
|
Millions of reflections of a half existing dream
They don't really matter when you're searching in between
two worlds
I will keep on searching for a third
I am floating everywhere and nothing's at my reach
But what really matters is
I'm still remembering what I feel
drifting through the stars to search a day
away
From here to there
From me to you.

Comichão
01:42
|
|||
|
A boiar no mar
vai um pouco de razão
nas ondas do meu
recreio vindo e vão.
Eu vou tentar
trazer o sal
a sopa, a roupa
suja
e um pouco de solidão.
A pairar no ar
há uns ecos de infração
nas salas de uma
escola sem lição.
Eu vou tentar
trazer o sal
a sopa, a roupa
suja
e um pouco de solidão
e um pouco de exaltação
e um pouco de comichão.

Das Delfinwunder
02:41
|
|||
|
Ich trage ein Glass Honig
Und bin doch kein Bär
Milch fliesst uber meine Tatzen
Und das ist keine Mär
Mein traum von latzter Nacht
Beginnt in Swimming Pool
Tausend Kellerhassenfühler
und ein Delfin der schreit:
“Lass mich raus, lass mich raus
Lass mich fliegen nach Haus
Warum bin ich nur hier
bin ein eingessschlossen Tier
lass mich fliegen”
Ich offne seine Türe
die Lichte gehen an
Der Delfin geht voruber
Er hat sich nicht bedankt

I can still remember Spring
All the beauty that it brings
Now I'm all alone
by the telephone
I wish I could call the birds and sing.
Oh the sound of Spring
I'm remembering
But tonight my love
You're haunting my dreams
So I guess I'll go
With my pillow
Suffocate the memories that you bring.
(solo)
A thousand nights and years go by
building castles in the sky
Still I can't forget
all the feelings that
take me to same place where we met
In another life
If I had a life
I would have a knife
to cut down your throat
to romanticize
we're both alive
living in a bottle of Porto.

Yeah, sometimes there's just no way around it
you gotta do it
you gotta
you gotta bite the hand that feeds
you told them
you weren't even hungry
they had to insist, yeah
they had to persist
they had to make you eat
Well, it might seem
a little mean
over the top
and unfriendly
but you have to do it
Ha, yeah
you had to bite the hand that feeds
you had to chew it
you had to bite it
you had to make them bleed
you had no choice
and now
you feel a little guilty
but you had to do it
you got to do a courtyard
you got to bite the hand that feeds
it tasted kind of good, actually
and they jumped back
they could finally see
they you meant what you said
and now maybe they'll treat you
respectfully
yeah
you bit that hand
you bit the hand that feeds.

Upa Upa (Meu Trolinho)
01:49
|
|||
|
Lá vai o meu trolinho
Vai rodando de mansinho
Pela estrada além
Vai levando pro seu ninho
meu amor e meu carinho
que eu não troco por ninguém
Upa, upa, upa!
Cavalinho alazão
Ei ei ei ei
Não erre de caminho, não
Vai assim
vai assim
sempre assim para a minha sorte não ter fim.

Je N'arrive Pas
01:42
|
|||
|
Je n'arrive pas a faire du vélo
je vole au dessu des camions
J'ai jamais fait de gateau au chocolat
je vais au supermachet
je ne s'ai pas parler le français
tro lo lo lo lo lo
Je ne joue pas a la roulette russe
je vais rouler un patin
Fin.

Here in space
I found the place
to let go of it all
without submitting to facts
I live within
a quantic dream
and dive deep in the waters
of uncouncious streams
I heard you're far away
will you come home
someday
(solo)
A time or space unknown
a void calling me home.
