Linda donzela vem à janela que a tuna passa.
Ouve este canto que o teu encanto enche de graça.
Olha para a lua que a noite é tua
e o trovador, enamorado canta elevado trovas de amor!

Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

When she was just a girl, she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach, so she ran away in her sleep

Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
(…)

A para-para-paradise is a endless beach in the early fall at somewhere unknown in the coast of Portugal.

“Why should I be afraid if I am at the paradise?” asks me an old lady concerning the worries of her old man that she might drown while bathing at the sea.
And I am asking back:

Why be afraid if know the way to
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise.

inspired by the song Paradise sung by Coldplay
My beach is my para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-ooh oh-oh-oh

Don’t know much about history.
Don’t know much biology.
Don’t know much about a science book.
Don’t know much about the French I took.

But I do know that I love you.
And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

As simple as maths

The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck.

And to ease a burning summer.

You can’t hurry love.
No, you just have to wait.
(Mama) said love don’t come easy,
It’s a game of give and take!

It's a problem of expression:

O teu mundo está tão perto do meu.
E o que digo está tão longe, como o mar está do céu.
E é tão difícil dizer amor, é bem melhor dizê-lo a cantar.
Por isso esta noite, fiz esta canção, para resolver o meu problema de expressão.
Pra ficar mais perto, bem mais de perto.

Ficar mais perto, bem mais de perto.

in song Problema de Expressão, sung by Clã,
 and a soundtrack for life

What happens when you met with, the word Fado? ...A family brainworm, sure!

Fado, chorar a tristeza bem.
Fado, adormecer com a dor.
Fado, só quando a saudade vem,
Arrancar do meu passado, um grande amor.

Mas…

in song Lusitana Paixão, sung by Dulce Pontes
 and in extreme situations by me and my mom

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
none but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the
time.

Won’t you help to sing, these songs of freedom?

in song Redemption Song, sung by Everyone
 started by Bob Marley, inspired by Marcus Garvey's speech
