What would you think if I sang out a tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
yeah, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry you to be alone
But how do I feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you're on your own

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Yeah gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

Would you believe at a love at first sight
Yes, I´m certain that it happens all the time
what do you see when you turn of the light
I can´t tell you but I kno that it´s mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I can´t buy a little help from my friends

With a little help from my friends

Meu povo, preste atenção
Na roda que eu te fiz
Quero mostrar a quem vem
Aquilo que o povo diz
Posso falar, pois eu sei
Eu tiro os outros por mim
Quando almoço, não janto
E quando canto é assim

Agora vou divertir
Agora vou começar
Quero ver quem vai sair
Quero ver quem vai ficar
Não é obrigado a me ouvir
Quem não quiser escutar

Quem tem dinheiro no mundo
Quanto mais tem, quer ganhar
E a gente que não tem nada
Fica pior do que está
Seu moço, tenha vergonha
Acabe a descaração
Deixe o dinheiro do pobre
E roube outro ladrão

Agora vou divertir
Agora vou prosseguir
Quero ver quem vai ficar
Quero ver quem vai sair
Não é obrigado a escutar
Quem não quiser me ouvir

Se morre o rico e o pobre
Enterre o rico e eu
Quero ver quem que separa
O pó do rico do meu
Se lá embaixo há igualdade
Aqui em cima há de haver
Quem quer ser mais do que é
Um dia há de sofrer

Agora vou divertir
Agora vou prosseguir
Quero ver quem vai ficar
Quero ver quem vai sair
Não é obrigado a escutar
Quem não quiser me ouvir

Seu moço, tenha cuidado
Com sua exploração
Se não lhe dou de presente
A sua cova no chão
Quero ver quem vai dizer
Quero ver quem vai mentir
Quero ver quem vai negar
Aquilo que eu disse aqui

Agora vou divertir
Agora vou terminar
Quero ver quem vai sair
Quero ver quem vai ficar
Não é obrigado a me ouvir
Quem não quiser escutar

Agora vou terminar
Agora vou discorrer
Quem sabe tudo e diz logo
Fica sem nada a dizer
Quero ver quem vai voltar
Quero ver quem vai fugir
Quero ver quem vai ficar
Quero ver quem vai trair

Por isso eu fecho essa roda
A roda que eu te fiz
A roda que é do povo
Onde se diz o que diz

. . .


Like a lover, the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you

Like a lover, the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
Never having known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you

Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you

(Bridge)

Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you

Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you

I might be like the velvet moon to you

I might be like the velvet moon to you . . .

We can skip to a diner and sip a little coffee
And talk about hip hop stars and astronomy

The look of love is in your eyes
A look that time can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you, don't ever go

Don't ever go, don't ever go
Don't ever go, don't ever go
Don't ever go, don't ever go
...

(portuguese part:)

Adeus
Vou pra não voltar
E onde quer que eu vá
Sei que vou sozinho
Tão sozinho amor
Nem é bom pensar
Que eu não volto mais
Desse meu caminho
Ah, pena eu não saber
Como te contar
Que o amor foi tanto
E no entanto eu queria dizer
Vem
Eu só sei dizer
Vem
Nem que seja só
Pra dizer adeus

(english part:)

Goodbye
It's all over now
You been gone before
But this time it´s over
There´s no much to say
You're not coming back
You just close the door
Leaving me alone now

Oh was it just a dream
Never really true
Why am I so lonely
Oh so lonely
Please come back to me
Come if it's one more time
Come even just to say
Just to say adeus

Oh was it just a dream
Never really true
Why am I so lonely
Oh so lonely
Please come back to me
Come if it's one more time
Come even just to say
Just to say goodbye

. . .


A batucada surgiu
Nem um branco ficou
Pois ser branco é ter cor
E pouco amor . . .

Canta amor que é mais branco
Que o sorriso do negro
Que nasceu só sem cor
Cheio de amor

E vai vivendo
Vendo a vida terminar
Chorando tanto
Por quem nunca pôde amar

Mas a vida se vai
E é preciso sambar
Fazer samba é viver
E não morrer . . .

A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou

E vai vivendo
Vendo a vida terminar
Chorando tanto
Por quem nunca pôde amar

Mas a vida se vai
E é preciso sambar
Fazer samba é viver
E não morrer . . .

A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou
A batucada surgiu, nem um branco ficou . . .

The dark is filled with dreams
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars
The wind is filled with songs
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars

(musical interlude)

Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars, (so many stars) oh, so many stars
(So many stars) oh, there are so many stars
(So many stars) lots and lots of stars, oh so many (so many)
Oh, so many (stars), many
So many, many (so many) stars (stars) . . .

All the secrets of the skies in a drop of rain
Look around, just look around
Gold dust, silver and surprise
If you look around, just look around

All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
When you look around, just look around

That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
It's all there, it's all there

All the innocence of Spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you see
When you look around, just look around

All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
When you look around, just look around

That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
It's all there, it's all there

All the innocence of Spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you see
When you look around, just look around

Oh, look around
Just look around
Just look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around
Stop and look around
Just look around . . .
