Paz (para 2011) - Roupa Nova

É preciso pensar um pouco nas pessoas
que ainda vêm… nas crianças.
A gente tem que arrumar um jeito
de deixar pra eles um lugar melhor.
Para os nossos filhos e,
Para os filhos de nossos filhos. pense bem!

Deve haver um lugar dentro do seu coração
Onde a paz brilhe mais que uma lembrança
Sem a luz que ela traz já nem se consegue mais
Encontrar o caminho da esperança

Sinta, chega o tempo
de enxugar o pranto dos homens
Se fazendo irmão e estendendo a mão

Só o amor, muda o que já se fez
E a força da paz junta todos outra vez
Venha, já é hora de acender a chama da vida
E fazer a terra inteira feliz

Se você for capaz de soltar a sua voz
Pelo ar, como prece de criança
Deve então começar outros vão te acompanhar
E cantar com harmonia e esperança

Deixe, que esse canto lave o pranto do mundo
Pra trazer perdão e dividir o pão.

Quanta dor e sofrimento em volta
a gente ainda tem,
Pra manter a fé e o sonho dos que ainda vêm.
A lição pro futuro vem da alma e o coração,
Pra buscar a paz, não olhar pra trás, com amor.

Se você começar outros vão te acompanhar
E cantar com harmonia e esperança.
A Paz - Roupa Nova

Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children

What about Us (Earth Song) / Michael Jackson

Title: Michael Jackson - Earth Song lyricsArtist: Michael Jackson Lyrics

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Ontem acordei a cantar esta canção que me acompanhou durante todo o dia. Foi um dos dias mais loucos e ricos da minha vida.Que Deus nos guarde...
Uma tradução minha (da Canção da Terra):
Como fica o nascer do sol e a chuva?
Como fica tudo o que disseste que iríamos ganhar?

Como ficam os campos de morte?
Haverá descanso?

Como ficam todas as coisas que disseste tuas e minhas?

Agumas vez paraste para pensar
Em todo o sangue que já derramámos?
Alguma vez paraste para pensar
No choro da Terra que gera os mares?

O que fizemos ao mundo? Vê o que fizemos.
O que aconteceu à Paz
Que prometeste ao teu único filho?

Como ficam os campos floridos? Iremos descansar?
Como ficam todos os sonhos que disseste teus e meus?

Alguma vez paraste para pensar
Em todas as crianças mortas na guerra?
Alguma vez paraste para pensar
Nos mares que nascem do choro da Terra?

Eu costumava sonhar
Costumava viajar para além das estrelas.
Agora já não sei onde estamos
Mas sei que fomos longe demais!

Como fica o passado? (como ficamos nós?)
Como ficam os mares? (como ficamos nós?)
Os céus estão a cair (como ficamos nós?)
Nem consigo respirar... (...)
E a Terra que sangra? Não sentimos as suas feridas?
E o valor da Natureza? Este Planeta é o nosso ventre!

E os animais? Transformámos seus reinos em pó!
E os elefantes? Perdemos a sua confiança?
E as baleias que choram? Nós enfurecemos o mar!
E as trilhas da floresta?
Queimadas apesar dos nossos protestos...

E a terra sagrada? Rasgada ao meio pelos nossos dogmas.
E o homem comum? Não o podemos libertar?
E as crianças que morrem? Não as ouves chorar?

Onde é que errámos? Alguém me diz porquê?
E os bebés? E os dias? Como fica toda a alegria?
Como fica o Homem? E o homem que chora? E Abraão?

Como fica a morte, de novo?
Nós ligamos alguma?...
Obrigado Michael! Thank You! (#782,515)
