lyrics

Tango fado Morna Blues

Talk to me love
If I can be of any help assisting you in your path
I’d be just thrilled to let you know
That life is a battlefield
We all go through
So carry love in your heart
And you’ll find that’s the only way
To get by

Honey it hurts
To grow
But chill
Once you nurtur yourself you’ll be swell
Feelings, someone, people, something, things
Truly live free
Liberdade!

Sometimes you fall
And it’s an endless downhill
But be happy
Life is makin’ sure
You don’t grow too many roots
...
This is my tango, fado, morna, blues

What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, ah
Stares at me yeah, i’m afraid, hey
Changin’ the shape of his face, oh
Yeah

Littel boy made a mistake, hey
Pink cloud has now turned to grey, ah
All that I want is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh
Yeah...
