If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out

If I Laugh

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didnt have to know you
And live in peace, in peace

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didnt use to get you
At home -- with me -- alone

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night -- and dream
If I laugh, baby if I laugh
Just a little bit --

Where Do The Children Play?

Where Do The Children Play

(Cat Stevens)
Aonde as crianças vão brincar


Eu penso que tudo esta bem construindo grandes jumbos.
Ou viajando num comboio cósmico.
Trocando um verão por uma slot machine
Agarras tudo aquilo que precisas
Porque podes pegar tudo aquilo que quiseres.

Eu sei que já percorreremos um longo caminho
E mudamos a cada dia.
Mas diz-me apenas
Aonde vão as crianças brincar


Como vamos rolar em estradas por cima dos pastos verdes
Onde encontramos petroleo jorrando
O que faz que isso tudo se torne mais dificil para eles
Mas apenas eles vão um sobre os outros
E parece que daqui não podemos sair

Eu sei que já percorreremos um longo caminho
E mudamos a cada dia.
Mas diz-me apenas
Aonde vão as crianças brincar?
Aonde as crianças vão brincar?


Quando rachares o céu, os aranha-ceus encherão o ar
E cada vez irás construir mais alto
Será que haverá espaço lá em cima?
Vais nos fazer sorrir ou nos fazer chorar?

Vais nos dizer até quando viveremos?
Vais nos dizer quando vamos morrer?

Eu sei que já percorreremos um longo caminho
E mudamos a cada dia.
Mas diz-me apenas
Aonde vão as crianças brincar?
Aonde as crianças vão brincar?

Remember the days of the old schoolyard

Em 1977 Cat Stevens editou o album "Izitso" do qual faz parte esta cançao que nos fala das saudades dos velhos tempos de escola


Remember the days of the old schoolyard

We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love... yes, i do
Oh and i remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love.. yes, i do
Oh and i remember you

You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovey dove, my love lovey dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like king and queen, god save our dreams
N'though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late, to learn about love
Learn about love

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love... yes, i do
Oh and i remember you

Wild World

"Wild World" é uma canção escrita e intrepertada por Cat Stevens, em 1970 e faz parte do album "Tea for the Tillerman" do qual foi o single mais popular. A canção é dedicada a Patti D'Arbanville com quem Cat Stevens tinha rompido recentemente.

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

[Refrão]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

[Refrão]

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

[Refrão]

Mais um sabado á noite

Cat Stevens - Another Saturday Night

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way.

I got in town a month ago
I've seen a lot of girls since then,
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
Thats how I'm in the state I'm in.

CHORUS

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein.

CHORUS

Its hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town.

CHORUS

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful, ooh, I'm in an awful way,
He's in an awful way, I'm in an awful ooh,
I'm in an awful way, He's in an awful way.

Morning has broken

A Manhã nasceu

A manhã nasceu
Como a primeira manhã
O melro cantou
Como o primeiro pássaro
Louvor para o canto
Louvor para a manhã
Louvor para o nascimento recente
Do mundo

Doce é a chuva que cai
Iluminada pelo sol vindo do céu
Como o primeiro orvalho
Sob a primeira erva
Louvor para a doçura do jardim molhado
Brotado na perfeição
Por onde os pés dele pisam

Minha é a luz do sol, minha é a manhã
Nascida de uma luz, o paraíso viu a diversão
Louve com entusiasmo, louve cada manhã
A recriação de Deus do novo dia

A manhã nasceu
Como a primeira manhã
O melro cantou
Como o primeiro pássaro
Louvor para o canto
Louvor para a manhã
Louvor para o renascer Do mundo
