Merry Christmas

The War is Over



Little words from John Lenon SHOULD STILL WORK, but everybody (including me) are so busy to do something...

And so this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Dizem que sou louco / por subir no pé de coco
pra pegar o coco / descer com o coco
do pé do coco / e abrir o coco
pra saber se o coco / é oco.

é só iço que ouuerã :

emcoantu aijmda algo d nos meesmos nos falta,

emtam dijguo falhame señr, que valhote, amen

Y neeste novu anno que sy açerca,

que a gamnãçija nõ ademtre muijto em nossos corações

Y que a paz faça morada na memte dos homeës de maas uontades,

porque os de booas uontades ja a tem!

Fez meu amigo gran pesar a mí
e, pero m'el fez tamanho pesar,
fezestes-me-lh', amigas, perdoar
e chegou hoj'e dixi-lh'eu assí:
«Viínde ja, ca ja vos perdoei,
mais pero nunca vos ja ben querrei».

Perdoei-lh'eu, mais non ja con sabor
que eu houvesse de lhi ben fazer,
e el quis hoj'os seus olhos merger,
e dixi-lh'eu: «Olhos de traedor,
viínde ja, ca ja vos perdoei,
mais pero nunca vos ja ben querrei».

Este perdón foi de guisa, de pran,
que ja máis nunca mig'houvess'amor,
e non ousava viír con pavor,
e dixi-lh'eu: «Ai cabeça de can,
viínde ja, ca ja vos perdoei,
mais pero nunca vos ja ben querrei».

... aferro-me a palavras minhas e me petrifico:
sou o protagonista dos males que crio
e dos quais sempre busco fugir.
os outros, os seres necrofágicos,
eles são os culpados. e os atraio,
os saúdo e num deles me transformo
ao transbordar minha brutalidade.

MY...

... LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
(John Paul Young)

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
