Africa Unite / Africa Unida (Bobby Marley)



Ziya-po ya-ya, pa-pa-ya-pa!
Ti-da-lee, na po-po pu-du-loo!
Ste-na-peh na-na po po-ro po!
Africa unite: Unite, Africa!
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon,
And we're going to our Father's land, yea-ea. E nós estamos indo para terra dos pais

How good and how pleasant it would be
before God and man, yea-eah! -
To see the unification of all Africans, yeah! -
As it's been said a'ready, let it be done, yeah!
We are the children of the Rastaman;
We are the children of the Iyaman.

So-o, Africa unite:
'Cause the children (Africa unite) wanna come home.
Africa unite:
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon, yea,
And we're grooving to our Father's land, yea-ea.

How good and how pleasant it would be before God and man
To see the unification of all Rastaman, yeah.
As it's been said a'ready, let it be done!
I tell you who we are under the sun:
We are the children of the Rastaman;
We are the children of the Iyaman.

So-o: Africa unite,
Afri - Africa unite, yeah!
Unite for the benefit (Africa unite) for the benefit of your people!
Unite for it's later (Africa unite) than you think!
Unite for the benefit (Africa unite) of my children!
Unite for it's later (Africa uniting) than you think!
Africa awaits (Africa unite) it's creators!
Africa awaiting (Africa uniting) it's Creator!

Unite for the Africans (Africa uniting) abroad!
Unite for the Africans (Africa unite) a yard! /fadeout/

You Don't Me / Você não me conheces (Ray Charles)



(You don't love me, you don't know me)
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello".
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so,
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well -
Well, you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night,
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight.
Oh-oh, I'm just a friend,
That's all I've ever been -
'Cause you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I-I've let my chance go by,
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye".
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy.
Oh, to never, never know
The one who loves you so -
Well, you don't know me.

(For I never knew the art of making love,)
(Though my heart aches with love for you.)
Afraid and shy, I-I've let my chance go by,
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)

Oh, you give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye".
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy.
Oh, you'll never, never know
The one who loves you so -
Well, you don't know me.
(you don't love me, you don't know me)

DR. HOOK; COVER OF THE ROLLING STONES

WELL WE'RE BIG ROCK SINGERS
WE GOT GOLDEN FINGERS
AND WE'RE LOVED EVERYWHERE WE GO

WE SING ABOUT BEAUTY
AND WE SING ABOUT TRUTH
AT TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A SHOW

WE TAKE ALL KINDS OF PILLS
TO GIVE US ALL KINDS OF THRILLS
BUT THE THRILL WE'VE NEVER KNOWN

IS THE THRILL THAT WILL GET YOU
WHEN YOU GET YOUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

    chorus;
GOING TO SEE MY PICTURE ON THE COVER
GONNA BUY FIVE COPIES FOR MY MOTHER
GONNA SEE MY SMILING FACE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

I GOT A FREAKY OLD LADY
NAME A COCAINE KATY
WHO EMBROIDERS ON MY JEANS
I GOT MY POOR OLD GRAY HAIR DADDY
DRIVING MY LIMOUSINE

NOW LETS ALL DECIDE
TO BLOW OUR MINDS
BUT OUR MINDS WON'T REALLY BE BLOWN


LIKE THE BLOW THAT WILL GET'CHA
WHEN YOU GET YOUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONES

    chorus

WE GOT ALLOT OF LITTLE
TEEN AGE BLUE EYED GROUPIES
WHO'D DO ANYTHING WE'D SAY

WE GOT A GENUINE INDIAN GURU
HE'S TEACHING US A BETTER WAY
WE GOT ALL THE FRIENDS THAT MONEY CAN BUY
SO WE NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE

AND WE KEEP GETTING RICHER
BUT WE CAN'T GET OUR PICTURE ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONES

In the Heat of the Moment (Babyface)

SPOKEN:
There comes a time in every man's life
You're gonna do wrong
I made a mistake girl, just let me
Just let me explain

I can't believe it
Although I did it
I've never been that kinda man
I must admit it
I wasn't with it
But you were the best I've ever had

Right now i'm going thru some changes
I've always thought I was
A faithful kinda man
I never thought I would be tempted
Baby you licked my lips
And I said right now, right now

In the heat of the moment
Baby I lost my head, lost my mind
Didn't know what to do
In the heat of the moment
Baby I feel in lust with you

I lost my head, I lost my mind

Now that I've done it
Oh how I want it
But I've gotta be a stronger man
I love my lady
And I can't lose my baby
'Cause if she knew
I'd lose everything I have

Don't want to go thru no more changes
From now on I promise I will be a better man
But here you are again temptin'
Baby when you kissed my lips, I said
Right now, right now

HOOK 2 times

SPOKEN:
Baby, baby you've got to
You've got to slow down
Girl, cool your heels

From now on I promise I will be a better man

SPOKEN:
Now, now I know that you know
That we can't carry on like this
Girl stop, just stop

Baby when you kissed my lips, I said
Right now, right now

HOOK 3 times

Sweet child o' mine / Doce criança minha

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
