Orfeu Negro

One of my mothers and my favorite movies, Orfeu Negro.
So touching and hauntingly beautiful, a masterpiece of Cinema.
It captures the Essence of Brazil, its Music and the People, the Language, the Habits and Traditions.
Que coisa linda, Que beleza, uma maravilha! Tem tristeza, alegria, ritmo! Muito obrigada!

Listen to this... and float....

Hallucination









DSC:

I tell you I can give you all who has it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems.

But it was just my imagination,
once again
Running away with me,
Tell you It was just my imagination
Running away with me.

(excerpt from ' Just my Imagination' by The Temptations)

The ultimate beautiful tune and lyrics...

So chill, sophisticated, floating and ultimate chic...

Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)



Quiet nights of quiet stars,
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surronds us,
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And window that looking onto Corcovado,
Oh! How I lovely.

Um cantinho, um violão,
Esse amor numa canção,
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama,
Muita calma pra pensar e ter tempo pra sonhar,
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado,
O Redentor que lindo.

Quero a vida sempre assim,
Com você perto de mim,
Até o apagar da velha chama,
E eu que era triste,
Descrente de sinismo,
Ao encontrar você eu conheci,
O que é Felicidade, Meu Amor.
O que é Felicidade, Meu Amor

Translation of the brazilian lyrics:

Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
and a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely
This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love

Hot town summer in the city



Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pritty
Cool cat lookin for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm weezin like a bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on lets dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Al Green

This is live, uncut and if a man that sing and move like this isn't hot, I don't know what is.
Pure Passion. His wife must be one lucky lady.
The golden pipes of the Rev Al Green!
DAMN, what a fine voice. Makes me want to dim the lights, pour some whiskey, listen closely and think of M. Actually, that's exactly what I am going to do.
Have a good weekend everybody.

For the weekend - Sam Cooke
