    ......Eu nao sou o Chico Buarque, somente sou um fan!.. Im not Chico Buarque, im only a fan!........ ------------------------------ .... Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, popularly known as Chico Buarque, is a singer, guitarist, composer, dramatist, and writer. He was born in June 19, 1944 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is best known for his music, however, which often comments on Brazil's social, economic and cultural reality. .... The son of an academic, Buarque wrote and studied literature as a child and came to music through the bossa nova compositions of João Gilberto. He lived in several locations throughout his childhood, though mostly in São Paulo and Italy. He performed music throughout the 1960s as well as writing a play that was deemed dangerous by the Brazilian military dictatorship of the time. Buarque, along with several of his fellow musicians, including Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, were threatened by the government and eventually left Brazil in 1970. Buarque moved back to Italy, Veloso and Gil to London. He came back to Brazil in 1971, a year before the others, and continued to record albums, perform, and write, though much of his material was not allowed by government censors. He released several more albums in the 1980s and published three novels in the 1990s and 2000s, all of which were acclaimed critically.

    A abelha com um alaúde,
    Nas asas do blues,
    O burro e a bateria,
    O clarinete e o canguru,
    O cavalo e o chimpanzé,
    Todos cantando e dançando
    E dançando o disco
    Deliciadamente dançando.
     
    Escorpião e elefante
    Foram fotografados.
    O gato e a gata
    Hospedavam na harpa
    Um hino bem humorado,
    No iluminado jardim.
    Jacarini e jacaré
    Cantavam no karaoke
     
    Leopardo e leoa
    Ligeiros lambavam
    E a macaca e o mocho
    Magicamente musicavam
    Narrativas novas
    E muito necessárias
    E originais óperas,
    no oboé, orgão e piano
    E poemas e parábolas
    E quebra-cabeças quebrados
    E quartetos de queridos qualificados
     
    O rato, o rouxinol
    E a rã reagiram com rock and roll
    Sinfonicamente sonoro,
    Tocando triunfantemente
    A tuba e tambores.
    Ultra sons uivavam ao uníssono
    Variações da viola
    Do veado wagneriano
    E do xilofone
    Yin e yang
    Ziguezagueavam neste zoológico

    Os músicos/escritores são amigos porque falam connosco através das suas letras e há vezes em que o Chico "fala" muito comigo. Um abraço

    ULTRAVIOLET (Light my way)Recorded 3-5-2011
    Authors: U2.
    Sometimes I feel like I don't know
    sometimes I feel like checkin' out
    I wanna get it wrong
    can't always be strong
    and love it won't be long...

    Oh sugar
    don't you cry
    Oh child
    wipe the tears from your eyes
    You know I need you to be strong
    and the day is as dark
    as the night is long
    Feel like trash
    you make me feel clean
    I'm in the black
    can't see or be seen

    Baby baby baby...light my way
    Alright now...
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    You bury your treasure
    where it can't be found
    but your love is like a secret
    that's been passed around

    There is a silence that comes to a house
    were no one can sleep
    I guess it's the price of love
    I know it's not cheap

    Oh come on
    Baby baby baby...light my way
    Oh come on
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    Uh...
    Don't you bare it again
    Uh...Ultraviolet...

    Baby baby baby...light my way

    I remember
    when we could sleep on the stones
    Now we lie together
    in whispers and moans
    When I was all messed up
    and I heard opera in my head
    your love was a light bulb
    hanging over my bed

    Baby baby baby...light my way
    Oh come on
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    Uh...Ultraviolet...
    Uh...Ultraviolet...

    Baby baby baby...
    Baby baby baby...
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    Baby baby baby...
    Baby baby baby...
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    Baby baby baby...
    Baby baby baby...light my way

    Baby baby baby...light my way

     in questo squallido mondo rallegriamoci con gli uccellini….chip chip….. chip chop……
    In this desolate and lost world
    we dedicate a well song to a very little bird:
    “Beija flor”
    A cançao è “Jardim da Fantasia”
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBvxDMRDNPM
    Recorded 26-4-2011.
    Author: Paulinho Pedra Azul.
    Bem te vi, bem te vi
    andar por um jardim em flor
    chamando os bichos de amor
    tua boca pingava mel
     
    Bem te quis, bem te quis
    e ainda quero muito mais
    maior que a imensidão da paz
    e bem maior que o sol
     
    Onde estás?
    Voei por este céu azul
    andei estradas do além
    Onde estará meu bem?
     
    Onde estás?
    Nas nuvens ou na insensatez
    Me beije só mais uma vez
    depois volte prá lá...
