¿Y Tú Qué Has Hecho?

En el tronco de un árbol una niña

Grabó su nombre henchida de placer

Y el árbol conmovido allá en su seno

A la niña una flor dejó caer.

Yo soy el árbol conmovido y triste

Tú eres la niña que mi tronco hirió

Yo guardo siempre tu querido nombre

¿y tú, qué has hecho de mi pobre flor?

Mad Girl's Love Song

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; 

I lift my lids and all is born again. 

(I think I made you up inside my head.) 

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, 

And arbitrary blackness gallops in: 

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. 

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. 

(I think I made you up inside my head.) 

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: 

Exit seraphim and Satan's men: 

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. 

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. 

(I think I made you up inside my head.) 

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: 

Exit seraphim and Satan's men: 

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. 

I fancied you'd return the way you said, 

But I grow old and I forget your name. 

(I think I made you up inside my head.) 

I should have loved a thunderbird instead; 

At least when spring comes they roar back again. 

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. 

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Both Sides, Now

Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right outloud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way

Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day

Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

Blue

Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you...

All I Want

I want to have fun
I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free

Conto de Areia

Contam que toda tristeza
Que tem na Bahia
Nasceu de uns olhos morenos
Molhados de mar.

Não sei se é conto de areia
Ou se é fantasia
Que a luz da candeia alumia
Pra gente contar.

Blue

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
