Essa Moça Tá Diferente
Chico Buarque
Essa moça tá diferente Já não me conhece mais Está pra lá de pra frente Está me passando pra trás Essa moça tá decidida A se supermodernizar Ela só samba escondida Que é pra ninguém reparar Eu cultivo rosas e rimas Achando que é muito bom Ela me olha de cima E vai desinventar o som Faço-lhe um concerto de flauta E não lhe desperto emoção Ela quer ver o...

You Will See What You Will See
A nude girl swims in the sea A bearded man walks on water Which is the wonder of wonders The higher heralded miracle?
Jacques Prévert
This Love
This love So violent So fragile So tender So desperate This love Beautiful like the day And bad like the weather When the weather is bad This love so true This love so beautiful So happy So joyous And so pathetic Trembling with fear like a child in the dark And so sure of itself Like a calm man in the middle of the night The love that freaks everyone else out That makes them talk That makes them...
The Wheelbarrow or The Great Inventions
The peacock makes the wheel fortune makes the rest God sits down inside and man pushes it.

The Sultan
In the mountains of Kashmir Lives the Sultan of Salamandragore During the day he kills a bunch of people And when night comes he falls asleep But in his nightmares the dead are hiding And devour him So one night he wakes up Letting out a great cry And the executioner shoots from his sleep Arrives smiling at the foot of the bed If there weren’t any living Says the Sultan There wouldn’t be any dead...

The Return To The Country
Here’s a Breton who is coming back to his native land After having done many horrible things He walks in front of the factories in Douarnenez He doesn’t recognize anyone No one recognizes him He is very sad. He goes into a crepe shop to eat some crepes But he can’t eat any There is something that’s preventing them from passing through his lips He pays He leaves He lights a cigarette But he can’t...
The New Order
The sun dwells in the ground Broken liter of red wine A house like a drunkard On the pavement has collapsed And under its porch that still stands A young girl is stretched out A kneeling man next to her Is about to finish her off In the wound where the bullet stirs Her heart won’t stop bleeding And the man lets out a war cry Like an absurd cry of a peacock And his cry is lost in the night Outside...
The Garden
Millions and millions of years Would not suffice To speak of The little second of eternity When you kissed me When I kissed you One morning in the winter sunlight In Montsouris Park in Paris On the Earth The Earth that is a star.
Jacques Prévert
