LYRICS: Flor de lis
(Djavan)
Flor de Lis [Portuguese]
Valei-me Deus, é o fim do nosso amor
Perdoa por favor, eu sei que o erro aconteceu
Mas não sei o que fez tudo mudar de vez
Onde foi que eu errei
Eu só sei que amei, que amei, que amei, que amei
Será, talvez, que minha ilusão
Foi dar meu coração com toda força
Pra essa moça me fazer feliz
E o destino não quis
Me ver como raiz de uma flor de lis
E foi assim que eu vi nosso amor na poeira, poeira
Morto na beleza fria de Maria
E o meu jardim da vida ressecou, morreu
Do pé que brotou Maria
Nem margarida nasceu
**
Lily Flower [English]
God, help me, our love is over
Forgive me, I know I did something wrong
But I don't know what exactly made things change so suddenly
What did I do wrong?
I'm only sure that I loved and loved like no one else
Can it be that my mistake was
To have given my heart to her with all my soul
So she could make me a happy man
But the destiny did not want me
to be attached to someone as are roots to a lily flower?
This way I watched our love coming to dust,
Dying in the coldness of her beauty
And the garden of my life wilted and died
And on the same tree she once blossomed from,
Not even a single daisy has bloomed anymore

Video #2: Djavan – Oceano
Uploaded on Sep 27, 2011
LYRICS: OCEANO
(Djavan)
Oceano [Portuguese]
Assim que o dia amanheceu
Lá no mar alto da paixão
Dava prá ver o tempo ruir
Cadê você?
Que solidão!
Esquecera de mim?
Enfim,
De tudo o que
Há na terra
Não há nada em lugar nenhum!
Que vá crescer
Sem você chegar
Longe de ti
Tudo parou
Ninguém sabe
O que eu sofri...
Amar é um deserto
E seus temores
Vida que vai na sela
Dessas dores
Não sabe voltar
Me dá teu calor...
Vem me fazer feliz
Porque eu te amo
Você deságua em mim
E eu oceano
E esqueço que amar
É quase uma dor...
Só sei viver
Se for por você!
**
Ocean [English]
As day dawned
There, over the sea of the passion
I could see the time in ruins
Where are you?
What a loneliness!
Did you forget me?
And then,
In name of all that
exists in this earth, I swear that
There won't be, at nowhere,
a thing that grows up,
without your presence
Far from you,
all is paralyzed
Nobody knows
how I suffered
Love is a desert
with many threats
Life riddles on the saddle
of my pain
And doesn’t know the way back
Give me your heat
Come and make happy
because I love you.
You flow into me
and I am the ocean.
And I forget that love...
is almost pain
I only can to live
if I live for you
