Sounds Like:
(1) SAMBA PRA VIRGINIA
Oi, Virginia, ó Virginia
Olha eu aqui te descrevendo
sem te conhecer
Na melodia desse Matthias
Ouço a vida que emana de você
Oi, Virginia, ó Virginia
quero cantar o que o amigo vem dizer
pra valer a dor da profissão,
entre o palco e a solidão
que é a mãe da criação
e pra merecer
tamanha intensidade
vejo as cores da amizade
inspirando essa canção
que a gente fez e vai dar agora
pra você, Virginia
(1) SAMBA FOR VIRGINIA
Hey Virginia, oh Virginia
look, I’m describing you
without even knowing you
to this Matthias’ melody
I can hear life radiating from you
Hey Virginia, oh Virginia,
I want to sing about what your friend told me
to honor the pain of this profession
amid the stage and loneliness
which is the mother of creation
and to deserve
such intensity
I see the colors of friendship
inspiring this song
that we have made, and that we now give
to you, Virginia
(2) OUR SONG
To love is to learn
to trust in who you are
to understand and accept each others views in life
find solutions, discuss and compromise…
All the grey clouds passing by
sun lights up the sky
it will stay for a while
When the storm is gone emotions shine
and I can hear our song
In love
you and I
through quarrels, unease, feelings
will always survive:
our song
(5) PENSANDO EM CHRISTOPH
e se o disco arranhar?
e se a pausa durar?
como vai terminar essa canção?
sem querer modular
temos que improvisar
com a harmona espalhada no chão
e se a ponte acabar?
ou então nos levar
pra um acorde já sem resolução?
vamos nos lembrar que a alma está no ar
e que vibra na entonação
da canção
numa jam celestial
numa rumba infernal
no compasso do nosso coração
numa jam celestial
numa rumba infernal
sem duração
(5) THINKING OF CHRISTOPH
and what if the disc is scratched?
and if the silence lasts?
how is this song going to end?
without wanting to modulate
we have to improvise
with the harmony broken on the floor
what if the bridge ends?
or if it takes us then
right to a chord without any resolution?
we’ll remember that the soul is in the air
and that it vibrates in the intonation
of the song
in a heavenly jam
in an infernal rumba
in the rhythm of our heart
in a heavenly jam
in an infernal rumba
without time
(10) SOMBRA
Por você
fui mudando sem perceber
com você
consegui brincar de viver
e brincando enfrentamos
léguas, matas e temporais
cantando os medos pra bem longe,
pra nunca mais, mas ...
nunca mais
ver você na porta ao chegar
quem me faz
voltar a correr e cantar
se a sombra eternamente
a me pentelhar e amar
se foi...
e pra bem longe,
se foi pra nunca mais, mas ...
(10) SHADOW
Because of you
I have changed unknowingly
with you
I have learned to be playful with my life
and playing we passed through so many
miles, forests and storms,
singing our fears so far away,
to never again, yet…
never again
see you at the door when I come home
and who will
make me run and sing again
‘coz my eternal shadow
that annoyed and loved me
has gone…
has gone far away,
has gone to never again, yet …
