Os Grilos Cantam Para Ana Maria

Vamos comparar músicas brasileiras com suas versões inglesas?

Bem... não todas, mas uma em especial: "Os Grilos", de Marcos Valle e sua versão em inglês "Crickets Sing for Ana Maria".

"Os Grilos", Marcos Valle

(Composição: Marcos Valle)

Se você quer grilo, tem
se quiser rio, tem
e se quiser também
até cabana tem
uma lareira, tem
um violão também
um passarinho, tem
mas se você quiser
morar na praia, vem
um automóvel, tem
cabeleireiro, tem
e vira a gente bem
Copacabana, tem
biriba à noite, tem
e quando a Lua vem
jantar no iate, bem
eu faço o que você quiser
se você for minha até morrer
mulher...

Bem, eu faço o que você quiser
se você for minha até morrer
mulher...

A versão inglesa é esta:

"Crickets Sing For Anamaria", Emma Bunton

(Composição: M. Valle, R. Gilbert)

Hey Maria Papa said
You better go to bed
Maria Mama said
You better go to bed
And little sister said
You better go to bed
The older brother said
You heard what Papa said
You better say goodnight
You better shut the light
And Papa told you no
You can't go out tonight
But Papa didn't know
Maria had a date
And couldn't let him wait

So in a little while
She waited till the lights were low
She went out the window to her beau, and so

There's a lot of huggin' then
A lot of kissin' then
A lot of huggin' him
A lot of kissin' him
A lot of happy talk
A lot of moon above
But very little time
But very little time
To make a lot of love
To make a lot of love
Which is a normal thing
To make a lot of love
For it was summertime
When all the crickets sing
And in the summertime

When anyone's in love
The crickets sing a happy song
But they didn't do their repetoire for long

Suddenly the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the uncle came
And then the cousin came
An even dozen came
And I can tell you this
It was a dirty shame
Because the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the cousin came
And even dozencame
And I can tell you this
Do-do-do-do

Sim, a letra em inglês também é de Marcos Valle, mas quanta diferença...

Vocês não acham engraçado?

Eu acho hilário!!

Abraços a todos!

Don't Go Away...

Cold and frosty morning
there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind

And I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
And I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away
Say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day... in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About the things caught in my mind

I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away
Say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day... in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right

Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is hard to show
The feelings that are wrong

So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day... in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right

So don't go away
Say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day... in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right

'Cause I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right

So don't go away...

Oasis (Composição: Noel Gallagher)

O Onipresente Sr. Lovegrove

Estou meio sem assunto, com tanta coisa na minha cabeça, sem muito tempo pra nada...
E ainda vem visitas na minha casa ocupar meu precioso tempo...

Mudando de... assunto!?

Onipresente é um palavra interessante... Pode-se estar em vários lugares ao mesmo?
É claro que não! Assim como não dá pra fazer várias coisas ao mesmo tempo.
Normalmente temos que escolher os mais urgentes, mas nem sempre o mais urgente é o mais necessário...
Viajei!!!!!

Melhor deixar uma música aqui. A minha música favorita da banda Dead Can Dance:

The Ubiquitous Mr.Lovegrove
Dead Can Dance

I thought that you knew it all
Well you've seen it ten times before.
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground.
I love slow...slow but deep.
Feigned affections wash over me.
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations.
Dream on my dear
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.

I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.

I thought that I knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before.
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.

I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.

Never let it be said I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I gave you all my time.

You're Beautiful... It's True!!!

Composição: James Blunt

My life is brilliant...

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Água de beber
Bica no quintal
Sede de viver tudo
E o esquecer
Era tão normal que o tempo parava
E a meninada respirava o vento
Até vir a noite e os velhos falavam coisas dessa vida

Eu era criança, hoje é você, e no amanhã, nós(2x)

Água de beber
Bica no quintal, sede de viver tudo
E o esquecer
Era tão normal que o tempo parava
Tinha sabiá, tinha laranjeira, tinha manga rosa
Tinha o sol da manhã

E na despedida,tios na varanda, jipe na estrada
E o coração lá(4x)

Milton Nascimento
Composição: Nelson Angelo

Baby, It's You!

Cantor: Smith
Composição: Bacharach/David/Williams

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.
It's not the way you kissed that tears me apart.

Many, many, many nights go by.
I sit alone at home and cry over you.
What can I do?
Don't want nobody, nobody
Cause, baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Is it true what they say about you?
They say you'll never, ever, never be true.
It doesn't matter what they say.
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do?
What 'bout you?
Don't want nobody, nobody.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Baby.

It doesn't matter what they say.
I know I'm gonna love any old way.
What can I do?
What 'bout you?
Don't want nobody, nobody.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Don't leave me alone.
Come on home.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.
You know I need your lovin'
You know I love you.
Baby, it's you.
Baby...

The Long and Winding Road

Composição: Lennon / McCartney

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I´ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times i've been alone
And many times i've cried
Anyway you'll never know
The many ways i've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don´t keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

**********************************

Tradução:
(A longa e sinuosa estrada)

A longa e sinuosa estrada
que leva até sua porta,
Jamais desaparecerá,
Eu já vi esta estrada antes.
Ela sempre me traz até aqui,
Conduz-me até sua porta.

Na noite selvagem e tempestuosa
que a chuva eliminou,
Deixou uma piscina de lágrimas
Chorando pelo dia.
Por que me deixar aqui sozinho?
Mostre-me o caminho.

Muitas vezes eu fiquei sozinho
e muitas vezes eu chorei
De qualquer forma você nunca saberá
de quantas formas tentei,

Mas ainda assim elas me trazem de volta
à longa e sinuosa estrada
Você me deixou esperando aqui
há muito tempo atrás,
Não me deixe aqui esperando,
Guie-me à sua porta

Triste... :-(

Compositor: Antonio Carlos Jobim

Triste é viver na solidão
Na dor cruel de uma paixão
Triste é saber que ninguém pode viver de ilusão
Que nunca vai ser, nunca vai dar
O sonhador tem que acordar

Tua beleza é um avião
Demais pr'um pobre coração
Que pára pra te ver passar
Só pra me maltratar
Triste é viver na solidão...
