Sergio Britto-English by Eric Silver
I should have done more through the years, cried a few more tears
Watched the rising of the sun
Devia ter arriscado mais e até errado mais
Ter feito o que eu queria fazer
I should have just accepted people as they are
Everybody knows the happiness and the sadness inside a heart
CHORUS
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar distraído
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar
Devia ter complicado menos
Trabalhado menos
Ter visto o sol se pôr
I should have let the little problems go into the undertow
And drowned them all with love
Queria ter aceitado a vida como ela é
A cada um cabe alegrias e a tristeza que vier
CHORUS
It’s been a long, long time
Lost in my dreams, walking around the lines
I guess I’ve been gone a while
Riding the waves, my memories unfazed by the miles
CHORUS
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The clock keeps clicking, my heart keeps ticking on and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow keeps coming on and
La la la lai
You can’t go back and wash all the past away
Gotta get back to today
It’s easy to lose yourself
You can break your own heart or might be somebody else’s
Sometimes it’s nobody’s fault
But you live and you learn ‘til hurt burns the innocence all off
CHORUS
The time goes by so fast
I wish I could make just a moment last but
CHORUS
(Tocando Em Frente)
Renato Texeira - English version by Eric Silver
I walk slowly ‘cause I’ve been in such a rush
I wear this smile because I’ve cried too much
Today I feel much stronger, happier who knows
Just sure about how little I know, oh I don’t know
CHORUS
To know the tricks and tomorrows
The taste of bread and tears of sorrow
We need love to feel life’s rhythm
We need peace to smile from within
We need rain for flowers to grow
I think making a good life could just be
To understand the walk and keep moving on
And like an old cowboy driving the cattle I will pass the days
On this path I go, oh I’m the road
CHORUS
Everyone loves sometime, everybody cries
One day we arrive, another we leave
Everyone writes their own story
Each one of us has the gift inside to be able to be happy
CHORUS
I walk slowly because I’ve been in such a rush
I wear this smile ‘cause I’ve cried so much
We all write our own story
Each one of us has the gift inside to be able to be happy
Victor Chaves - English version by Eric Silver
I live in a place, just a little house in a simple town
A little fire in the stove burning down
With embers glowing
I’ve got everything, a donkey and some cows
A river running by just behind the house
Me and my guitar and chickens running around
All around the yard there’s fruit and flowers on the trees
And in this heart inside of me there’s a love for someone growing
CHORUS
Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Every now and then I head into town
Stock up on some things when they’re running down
Coffee, bread and wine and nice cachaça ai
Then back home I go stirring up the dust on the dusty road
And any sadness that I once used to know
Never comes past the gate inside
Galloping I go down to a bend in the road
There’s someone waiting there I know I call my baby she’s my baby
Beautiful life, oh oh oh beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
Bullfrogs jumping in the water on the way to my countryside
Beautiful life, oh it’s a beautiful life
The bullfrogs are jumping in the water, on the way to my countryside
They keep jumping in the water on the way to my countryside

Once upon a time I thought you were the one
Everything in all my dreams I thought my day had come
But you changed your mind a thousand times and left my heart so numb
Well that don’t fly anymore
CHORUS
Cuz you tell me you want me forever
Then you tell we can’t be together
Then call me a little change in the weather
Wanting back on well back off
It’s been too long on this roller coaster
I’m tired of this shaky boat
Don’t come back down this road wanting back on
Well back off
You promised me your love and then you say you’re scared
Off and on, right or wrong you were always sometimes there
You’ve got some screwed up ways of showing that you care
Well that don’t fly anymore
CHORUS
Well that don’t fly anymore
And I can’t try anymore

It’s a paradise, it’s a living hell
It’s fire and ice, it’s a wishing well
A slap in the face sometimes, the sweetest of soft red wine
A story a million words can’t tell
CHORUS
What do I do, what do I say
Love is complicated
Where do I turn when you turn away
Love is over-rated
I know it hurts sometimes, but where do you draw the line
When your head says run and your heart says stay
Love is complicated
It’s a rainbow above and a moonless night
It’s making sweet love and a fearless fight
But where do you go when you’ve tried everything you can do
And got no stars to guide you wrong from right
CHORUS
I know it hurts sometimes, but where do you draw the line
When your head says run and your heart says stay
Love is complicated

I want to feel the river flow
And go everywhere the water goes
I want to soar just like a bird
A hundred feet above the earth
One day I will
CHORUS
Some things are hard to understand
Some things are bigger than I am
One day these broken wings will touch the sky
I’ll lean into the wind and fly
I want to feel how love can be
Heart and soul on fire and free
I want to be a summer sun
The daydream of my special one
One day I will
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
One day these broken wings will touch the sky
I’ll lean into the wind and fly
I want to feel the river flow
And go everywhere the water goes
I want to soar just like a bird
A hundred feet above the earth

I’m watching the people on the news
Seems like there’s nothing they won’t do
People today, they’re just crazy
And that’s the way it is yeah
There must be a solution we can find
Some simple task for simple minds
I think we might just be able to save us
It’s really not a question
Why can’t we just try and you can
CHORUS
Give a little love, give a little bit of love to me
It’s what I really need to put me back on my feet
And I will give a little love, give a little bit of love to you
It’ll see you through, so that’s what I’m gonna do
Just give a little love to you
Must be a place where we can start
Some innocence left in every heart
Can’t we can be caring, is it so scary
To just let down your guard
Put up your phones put down your guns
Tomorrow might not even come
Let’s start right now, let’s let the dogs out
And catch up on some sun
I think we should try and you can
CHORUS
A little bit of love, little bit of love, yeah
Um pouco, um pouco, pouquinho de amor
Um pouco, um pouco, pouquinho de amor
Não existe nada mais forte do que amor
(A little bit of love, little bit of love)
Para aquecer a alma e curar as suas dores
(Um pouco, um pouco, pouquinho de amor)
Uma coisinha tão simples e pura
Vale mais do que diamantes ou pedras de ouro
Só dar um pouco que volta muito mais
Coração à frente e nunca olhe pra trás
Why don’t you
CHORUS

One in the morning, just me and my guitar
No song is on my lips no one is in my heart
Friends aren’t calling, at least not tonight
Right now I’m just spending time with cabernet and moonlight
Lately I’ve been feeling like a vending machine
Put in a quarter and take away a piece of me
But I’m still breathing, breathing in this rainy air
Almost positively certain that there’s someone out there for me
CHORUS
When you’re here, when you’re here
Here in my arms and not in my dreams
When you’re real and I can feel you
And everything is what it seems
When your love is my love and my heart is finally yours
We won’t be lonely anymore
So wipe your tears wherever you are now
I know it’s lonely but somehow life will work it out
You’re feeling broken, you’re feeling just like me
But there’s a time and place we’ll see each other’s faces and we’ll believe
CHORUS
When you’re here, when you’re here (Vai estar ai com você)
Here in my arms and not in my dreams
When you’re real and I can feel you (Vai ser real, você vai ver)
And everything is what it seems (O que tiver de ser)
When your love is my love and my heart is finally yours
We won’t be lonely anymore
Coisas boas vem para que nunca desiste
Acredite ela vai chegar
CHORUS
You’ll be here, you’ll be here (Vai estar ai com você)
Here in my arms and not in my dreams
You’ll be real and I can feel you (Vai ser real, você vai ver)
And everything will be like it seems (O que tiver de ser)
When your love is my love and my heart is finally yours
You won’t be lonely, we won’t be lonely anymore
Lonely anymore (Vai estar ai)
That’s what I’m waiting for (Com você)
We won’t be lonely anymore
