It's Good To Be Little

I say in Mouraria 'it's good to be little'*
 
It's so good to be little,
To have a father, to have a mother, to have grandparents,
And to have hope in destiny
And to have someone who likes us
 
To have hope in destiny
And to have someone who likes us
 
To see everything with happiness,
Without delay, without delay**
And to see life in an hour
And eternity in a day
 
To see life in an hour
Eternity in a day
 
To have a fantasy in mind
Of a good that no one supposed,
To believe, to dream alone,
With the greatness of this world
And, to be much deeper,
To have a father, to have a mother, to have grandparents
 
And, to be much deeper,
To have a father, to have a mother, to have grandparents
 
To have a lot of delight in dreaming,
To wake up and be affectionate,
To have this entire little world
In the gleam of our eyes
 
To have this entire little world
In the gleam of our eyes
 
To live oblivious to suffering,
Of this clumsy, cruel orb,
Judge yourself eternally boy,
Suppose to be an eternal child,
And, in a destiny without hope,
To have hope in destiny
 
And, in a destiny without hope,
To have hope in destiny
 
Oh misfortune, oh nostalgia***
Causes of my instability,
Give me pieces of childhood,
Remnants of youth
And give me the sweet clarity
Robbing me to the atrocious time
I wanted to have my voice
To sing my past...
And it's so nice to sing fado+
And to have someone who likes us!...
 
It's so nice to sing fado
And to have someone who likes us!...
 

More Than a Longing

More than a longing more than a wish
We are hungry for you
Hungry to see you, to know you
And i live in your presence
Chorus
Fill us with your love
Satisfy us Lord
Give us more of your light
of your fullness
 
We only want to be with you
and not separate anymore
With hearts surrendered to you
that never waver
Chorus repeats
Bridge:
Your presence is my food, my portion
The fat that feeds my heart
Chrous repeats
More than a longing more than a wish
We are hungry for you
 

Give praise to the King

Today I come to give myself bowing before you
My heart can be there
The sky dresses up
It has never been seen like this
 
Today I come to give myself bowing before you
My heart can be there

My Little Yearning Heart

My little yearning heart,
Stop beating so hard!
You say you like a little babe,
But I don't want to believe you. (bis)
 
Don't take me, little heart,
Where you know I want to go.
Even if my soul will die of yearning,
I'm not listening to you now anymore.
 
You always squeezed my strength,
'Cause you did just what you wanted.
If you break, my heart, in two,
And I still don't believe you. (bis)
 
Don't take me, little heart,
Where you now I want to go.
Even if my soul will die of yearning,
I'm not listening to you now anymore.
 
My little yearning heart,
Let's make a covenant:
That you will not let me die,
As long as love will live on earth.(bis)
 
Don't take me, little heart,
Where you know I want to go.
Even if my soul will die of yearning,
I'm not listening to you anymore.
 
I will dream night after night
What would've been if it could possible
For me to do, heart, like you want:
To share my love with him.
 

Ships

I asked the rain where’s the shore, and ever so quietly it whispered:
In fogs of lifetime your shore had withered,
You lost your hopes, and lost its dreams
this ship of yours set on an obscure course.
 
Refrain.
Ships, like people in the sea — people-sails
In fogs of life they float into the distant sea vales.
Deep is this path on my own course
Ships at sea seek home shores.
 
Once, I was seen off heading towards unknown worlds
In fogs of life I wandered and got lost.
My mother’s parting words: son, may your return be quick.
The shores were rain washed, or made by tears slick.
 
Refrain.
 
I would become the endless sky, become a torrent,
I would become a salty breeze - just to return home,
But for the infinite time that washed away any trace of the past.
In fogs of lifetime the ships didn’t last.
 

It is an adventure

And it's an adventure to know you,
Walk with and obey you, and live for you.
It is an adventure to be with you,
Walk with and be your friend, and live for you.
And it's an adventure every day if I have you,
If I have you.
 
It is an adventure, I can cross the sea,
I walk on water, if you go with me,
It is an adventure to cross the threshold,
That leads to the impossible if you go with me,
If you go with me.
 
It is an adventure that doesn't end,
By trusting your word and following you,
It's an adventure when I believe regardless
Of what I see because you are there,
It is an adventure every day if I have you,
If I have you.
 
It is an adventure, I can cross the sea,
I walk on water, if you go with me,
It is an adventure to cross the threshold,
That leads to the impossible if you go with me,
If you go with me.
 
It is an adventure, I can cross the sea,
I walk on water, if you go with me,
It is an adventure to cross the threshold,
That leads to the impossible if you go with me,
I walk on water, if you go with me,
Nothing is impossible if you only you
If you go with me.
 

I Sell Dreams

I haven’t forgotten this melody,
although so many years have gone by.
I remember onlookers and a crowd of kids who, like me,
were standing there, being all ears.
 
Every day at the same time
an elderly gentleman used to stop in front of the house.
He used to play resonantly a colourful barrel organ
and sing us this song:
 
'For one penny I sell dreams,
for one penny I change sorrows into laughter.
For one penny I take away your tears
and I bring you joy instead'.
 
Today nobody knows what happened to him,
when the sound of the barrel organ died down.
But since that time sometimes I long for
the resonant melody of those years.
 
'For one penny I sell dreams,
for one penny I change sorrows into laughter.
For one penny I take away your tears
and I bring you joy instead'.
 

45 brains and one heart

Silence!
 
They found
Where they always knew
They were
45 brains and one heart
 
In front of such a discovery
And the amazement of the present ones
They saw the light, conserved
Like bodies of pharaos
 
Here, without myth or rite
Left to time
Wrapped up in mud
Near some urbanization
45 brains and 1 heart
 
Silence!
They're still there in silence
Their longings suspended
Dirty fate
Their dreams whisper
Dirty silence, yes
They're still there
 
They found
Where they always knew
They were
45 brains and 1 heart
 
In front of such a discovery
And the amazement of the present ones
They saw the light, conserved
Like bodies of pharaos
 
The soil made them of themselves and ours
Heaven had them alive and dead
Jewels of modern fortgetfulness
Who forgets, who remembers?
 
45 brains and one heart
 
Silence!
 
Tell me, death, little death of mine
Where will you burn?
The lady answers:
'I will come at dawn
I will come at nightfall
I will come where you will be'
 
My time is not your time
It wanted to explain
That I live in the stones
The ones of today and the ones of yesterday
I am the course of the world
I am only a second
Afterwards there will be no afterwards
 
After eighty years
After eight decades
While I sing
While he plays
While you listen to me
While you breathe
While, during, afterwards
They're still there
In silence

Like a false accusation
The most faithful story

This treadmill turns
Swing door
There's no glory
If there's memory
 
If you stay silent you kill it
It's like a skin
You find it if you scratch
Fertile orchard
The flower of the present
Will be born in it

Goods

It might seem innocent to you
But even so, it is evident
that not even the most eloquent
and not even thousands of serpent's tongues
could answer me
if someone, among so many people,
including the claircoyants
with their budding visions
sees in recent history
of Orient and Occident
a reason that nourishes
this insane dimension
if my mind does not lie to me
someone among the listeners
could answer me
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes:
If water has an owner
who owns light?
Who owns this soil?
Who profits off of our
sky?
who profits off of our
sun?
 

If the sky fell

Somewhere far away, she's waiting for me
A whole world separates us again
Time passes slowly, always alone
A whole world separates us again
 
I'd stop time and the moments
I'd live the memories today
Just to embrace you again
I'd find the path and I'd follow you
Wherever you might go, I'd fight for us
To embrace you again
 
If the sky fell
And whatever happens
I will not let anything separate us
If even the sun went out
And the stars disappeared
I wouldn't let anything separate us
Ever, ever . . .
 
I couldn't live
If you didn't smile at me
I see a whole world in your eyes
When I embrace you
I can dream again
I see a whole world in your eyes
 
I'd stop time and the moments
I'd live the memories today
Just to embrace you again
I'd find the path and I'd follow you
Wherever you might go, I'd fight for us
To embrace you again
 
If the sky fell
And whatever happens
I will not let anything separate us
If even the sun went out
And the stars disappeared
I wouldn't let anything separate us
Ever, ever . . .
 
When the horrible storm tries to take you from me again
I will offer it my own life instead
When the storm tries to take you from me again
You'll see that love will overcome
Love . . .
 
I will not let anything separate us . . .
 
If even the sun went out
And the stars disappeared
I wouldn't let anything separate us
Ever
 
I will not let anything separate us . . .
 
If even the sun went out
And the stars disappeared
I wouldn't let anything separate us
Ever
 
No, no, no, never . . .
 
If I have made a mistake, please, tell me! Thank you!
Dacă am făcut o greșeală, te rog, spune-mi! Mulțumesc!

That flame which is lighting me up

My beautiful fire,
Whether I'm near
Or far,
Will be always burning
For you, my dear eyes1,
Without losing its heat2
 
My soul really likes
That flame which is lighting me up
And which will never put out
 
And if my destiny is to be with you,
Wandering rays of my beautiful Sun,
She will want no other light,
Nor she will we ever be able to

Girl Don't Be Discouraging

She's strong, her grace is divine
This is not luck, her Father made her blessed
And she shines, great girl
She can just didn't know, she just didn't know
 
If she suffers, she writes poetry
Neckline for what? If she has sympathy
She is not even noble, and the king calls her daughter
She wins by stubbornness
 
Who gave you all this boldness?
Who stirs up such joy in her?
It's not the prince of the lame horse
It was that King of the White Horse
This is the secret of this girl.
 
Not everyone will love you
Not everyone will appreciate you
Yet you have everything
Go and conquer your world
 
So girl, don't be discouraging
Close your eyes and you will find
The strength you need to achieve
The sky on you will bet
If you fall, get up and walk.
You're beautiful and have company.
You're strong, you just didn't know
 
Don't be discouraging
Don't be discouraging
Don't be discouraging
Don't be discouraging
 
When they decide to believe
They are strong and know how to dream.
Imperfect princesses made of royalty
That in their stories chose to fight
 

Cascade

You're the water that refreshes my summer,
I can hear your voice in the wind.
You made melodies that open today in you
A place inside my heart.
 
You're the air that refreshes my summer,
You renews me from within and I bear fruit.
I know in every season I'm sure with you,
Your grace remains upon me.
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
 
Ref:
You come as a cascade,
You love me strongly,
Like no one else can.
The size of your grace is indescribable,
Your love is enough for me.
 
You're the rain that awake my hope,
You're generous without comparison.
Infinite, inexhaustible, you are love,
You're my eternal abode.
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
 
Ref:
You come as a cascade,
You love me strongly,
Like no one else can.
The size of your grace is indescribable,
Your love is enough for me.

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Ref:
You come as a cascade,
You love me strongly,
Like no one else can.
The size of your grace is indescribable,
Your love is enough for me.

Fly Away

I'm far from home for too long now
And with time you learn
Being proud is so useless
The word is ephemeral
 
And what is the importance of fears
If time makes them irrelevant?
Life is just a rehearsal of an eternal life
In this life I don't get anything, my emptiness is as big as me
 
I'd just want to fly away, leave everything behind
I'd just want to fly away, leave everything behind
 
I miss what I've never seen
I yearn for what I never felt
Why did they stop talking about heavens?
We're thinking a lot about this life down here
 
You didn't give me wings because you knew
That I wouldn't stay down here
After I knew everything up high
I wouldn't ever look back to the Earth
 
I'd just want to fly away, leave everything behind
I'd just want to fly away, leave everything behind
 
Only you know how to care for me so much
Only you will ever love me so much
Only you know how to care for me so much
Only you will ever love me so much
 
Angels, sing louder, so my soul can hear
It came from the sky and misses it so much that it wants to come back
Angels, sing louder, so my soul can hear
It came from the sky and misses it so much that it wants to come back
 
It wants to come back, it wants to come back, it wants to come back, it wants to come back
It wants to fly away, it wants to fly away, it wants to fly away, it wants to fly away
It wants to come back, it wants to come back, it wants to come back, it wants to come back
It wants to fly away, it wants to fly away, it wants to fly away, it wants to come back

Friendly Advice

She lost her ground, sat down and cried
Where's your heart? You gave it away
And it went off, it went away
You trusted him, and him, oh, he lied
 
But let me tell you something, girl
It's better to cry now
Than to cry for a whole life
 
God rid you of those who didn't care for you
He really loved you all along
Could a father give his daughter
To a liar?
 
Take what is yours back
Take what God gave you back
Don't let anyone take
Don't let anyone say your worth
If he doesn't love, he doesn't deserve your love
 
God made you so whole, God made you so wise
Now, try to mend it, take this as a lesson
More than just a pretty smile
Less promises, more character and compromise
 
Take what is yours back
Take what God gave you back
Don't let anyone take
Don't let anyone say your worth
 
Take what is yours back
Take what God gave you back
Don't let anyone take
Don't let anyone say your worth
If he doesn't love, he doesn't deserve your love
 
Stop hurting yourself
If only you knew how much God loves you
You wouldn't beg for love
If only you knew how much God loves you
You wouldn't beg for love around
 
I'm not the wisest one around, but if it fits
Take my friendly advice

I'm The Difference

My Mom told me
'Do everything you want
Just don't disappoint God
And don't lose your faith'
 
So I realized
That I don't need to sin
To be happy
Much on the contrary
I wrote a list of things for my life
But it is so big that
I haven't done half of them
 
I put some smiles on my face
And filled my life with friends
I jumped from the bridge that drew us apart
In the sea of forgetfulness I drowned the hurt
I revolted against the lies
I got addicted to your joy
I took revenge by forgiving
And now I go, not feeling any shame
The opposite way
The opposite way
 
I don't believe in hearsay
Fads or theories
I believe in facts
Jesus Christ and the Bible
Call me old-fashioned
Christian or believer
In a world of similarities
I'm the difference
 
I don't believe in hearsay
Fads or theories
I believe in facts
Jesus Christ and the Bible
Call me old-fashioned
Christian or believer
In a world of similarities
I'm the difference
I'm the difference
I'm the difference
 
I dreamed
I achieved
I got here
I cried
But I'll sleep in peace
 
That's why I sing
Because I know in whom I trust
If I get tired
I get up
Because I love a challenge
 
And those who think that I lost
Don't know half
Of what I've been through
My life with God is an adventure
I've been through so much
That it barely fits this song
 
I don't believe in hearsay
Fads or theories

Love is a nice way to pass time

It's a great pity
Having to work
Every day
To earn a living
You have to get up
 
But for the rest
Fortunately
Thanks life
Love is a nice way to pass time
 
Mother it rains
Inside my attic
Tiles were blown away
By the wind
 
But for the rest
Fortunately
Thanks life
Love is a nice way to pass time
 
I had a few hens
Inside their coop
But the fox ate them
During the night
 
But for the rest
Fortunately
Thanks life
Love is a nice way to pass time
 
My neighbor Georges
My enemy
He keeps salt for me
In his shotgun
 
But for the rest
Fortunately
Thanks life
Love is a nice way to pass time
 
It's a great pity
Having to work
Every day
To earn a living
You have to get up

Saarbrooklyn

Sixty years without light
Again the key doesn't fit
It's the wrong house and the walls are moving
And it's a force march like a helltrip
There are too many pedestrians
But none of them is looking back
 
And I am standing and falling
It's just a small kiss on the kerbstone
And then they hear the boom
Oh, I am standing and falling
 
Forty years, this tape
Backache, a sick mind
At some point it got out of hand
And there's a wife who doesn't love you
And there are children you see only at the weekends
 
Before the others noticed anything
I had long gone everywhere
Oh, I'm standing...
 
And I'm standing and falling
It's just a short moment
 
*''Saarbrooklyn' is a portmanteau word composed of 'Brooklyn' and 'Saarbrücken'. Saarbrücken is the capital of Saarland, one of the 16 federal states of Germany.
 

Tell me

Tell me why you're leaving
and tell me when you'll return,
the light of the full moon
doesn't know how to comfort me.
 
Spiraled memories,
traces of stardust,
a monstrous strength
that awakened us.
 
Your farewell is part
of a universal dance,
comfort for those
who wait in the darkness.
 
For you the horizon breaks,
the sea is tainted with the burning red
of your abandonment.
 
The heart slows down and reason surrenders
to a long and cold dream
in which I'll drown my voice
until sunrise.
