Homenagem ao dia do Maçom: Acácia Amarela

Acácia Amarela
Luíz Gonzaga
Composição: Luiz Gonzaga e Orlando Silveira

Ela é tão linda é tão bela
Aquela acácia amarela
Que a minha casa tem
Aquela casa direita
Que é tão justa e perfeita
Onde eu me sinto tão bem

Sou um feliz operário
Onde aumento de salário
Não tem luta nem discórdia
Ali o mal é submerso
E o Grande Arquiteto do Universo
É harmonia, é concórdia
É harmonia, é concórdia.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina - homenagem aos nossos hermanos

Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Composição: Tom Rice - Andrew Lloyd Webber

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Could'nt stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying ev'rything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
{Refrain:}
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be,
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
{au Refrain}
Have I said too much ?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that ev'ry word is true
{au Refrain}
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Letra de (i´ve had) the time of my life - homeagem a patrick swayze

O ano era 1987. O Filme musical que marcou a geração nascida na década de 80 chamava-se Diry Dancing - O Ritmo Quente. Quantos de nós não tentamos imitar os passos de Patrick Swayze para tentar impressionar as menininhas? E até na aula de dança tentei (em vão) imitar a coreografia.

Mas a vida segue seu rumo e hoje, 15 de setembro de 2009, veio a falecer o galã desse e de outros filmes marcantes, como Ghost, vítima de um câncer agressivo, que o deixou desfigurado e debilitado; e ver a exposição pública de sua fragilidade nos faz sentir muito mais vulneráveis e impotentes. Tristes até.

Mas esse não é um blog sentimental e sim musical, razão pela qual segue uma homenagem ao nosso estilo. A letra de (i´ve had) the time of my life, performada por Bill Medley e Jennifer Warnes.



Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

(REFRÃO)
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know

So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control

Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."

Just remember
You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

(REFRÃO)
'Cause I had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you

*Instrumental*

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before

Never Felt this way

Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you

"cause I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you
