I know sometimes I can be wrong I know sometimes I do believe I know sometimes I can be wrong I'll be wrong until you're next to me I'll be wrong until you're next to me ...
I know sometimes the world is wrong I know sometimes I do believe I know sometimes the world is wrong They'll be wrong until you're next to me They'll be wrong until you're next to me
Caetano Veloso e David Byrne - Um Canto De Afoxé Para O Bloco De Ilê
I...lê aiê
Como você é bonito de se ver
I.....lê aiê
Que beleza mais bonita de se ter
I.........lê aiê
Sua beleza se transforma em você
I.........lê aiê
Que maneira mais feliz de viver
And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes
CHORUS: The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all Up above the yard
CHORUS
She was glad about it... no doubt about it She isn't sure where she's gone No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was
And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions
CHORUS
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was) Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)
Com um casaco que podia ser Jean Paul Gautier mas que neste cara resultaria sempre numa imagem de sem abrigo, recriando a todo o instante uma encenação de pagode de favela e com muita piada, Tom Zé foi botando discurso contra a exploração das mulheres e das menininhas. Em casa e na rua. Sempre ironizando com a globalização. Intercalando com a defesa da língua portuguesa. E este cara tem talento para ser transparente e sério, rindo e inventando e experimentando muito. Sem nunca perder o ritmo, é claro!
Agradecemos a David Byrne que o relançou quando um prédio de dez andares parecia cobrir seu túmulo.
Foi assim, ontem à noite, no jardim do Palácio de Cristal. Preço: 8 € (menos 12 € que o bilhete para o concerto da Adriana Calcanhotto em Aveiro)
