Estes dias falei da Tracy aqui e agora posto uma música dela com a tradução, segue também um link pra quem quiser se juntar a mim...
Why Tracy Chapman
Why ?
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Admidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
TRADUÇÃO
Por que?
Por que os bebês passam fome
Quando existe comida suficiente para alimentar o mundo?
Por que existem tantos de nós e
As pessoas continuam sozinhas?
Por que os mísseis são chamados de pacificadores
Quando eles são feitos pra matar?
Por que uma mulher ainda não está segura
Quando está em sua casa?
Amor é ódio
Guerra é paz
Não é sim
E nós somos todos livres
Mas alguém tem que responder
A hora está chegando
Veja todas estas perguntas e contradições
Existe quem busca a verdade
Mas alguém tem que responder
A hora está chegando
Quando os cegos removerem suas viseiras
E o mudo falar a verdade.
E quem não conhece esta aqui, pode parecer brega, mas me arrepio até hoje...
Baby Can I Hold You
Sorry
Is all that you can say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you I love you
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
at the right time you'd be mine
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
at the right time you'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd be mine....
E essa aqui parece um pouco comigo..
She's Got Her Ticket
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave why not
Go away
too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun
And she'll fly, fly, fly...
