Sérgio Mendes Album

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this lonely mess won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

A mão que toca um violão
Se for preciso faz a guerra
Mata o mundo, fere a terra
A voz que canta uma canção
Se for preciso canta um hino
Louva à morte
Viola em noite enluarada
No sertão é como espada
Esperança de vingança

O mesmo pé que dança um samba
Se preciso vai à luta
Capoeira
Quem tem de noite a companheira
Sabe que a paz é passageira
Prá defendê-la se levanta
E grita: „Eu vou!“

Mão, violão, canção e espada
E viola enluarada
Pelo campo e cidade
Porta bandeira, capoeira
Desfilando vão cantando:
Liberdade

Quem tem de noite a companheira
Sabe que a paz é passageira
Prá defendê-la se levanta
E grita: „Eu vou!“
Porta bandeira
Capoeira
Desfilando vão cantando:
Liberdade
Liberdade
Liberdade
Liberdade . . .

To be alone again
Without you, without you
When will this time pass
Maybe I should talk
Perhaps I should not
But it's gone
What is gone
Who can say?

Like leaves that drift away
So softly, they tell me
I'll walk without you
Your name inside me
No wind will hide me
Like a song
No regrets
When it's done

Wait, wait for me you'll see
That you really want me
We can be free only if I know
That you'll come back and you'll be with me

Watching the wind blow
Tasting the salt sea
We'll ride every wave we can find
Now is the right time
Just for you and me

We'll make the day sing
Like the winds
And we won't have to go far
Now that we have the time
We can find all we want
If we just look

Now the world is empty faces
That I see don't care
To ever know the love
You gave to me so much
When morning made our song
And now it seems so far

Oh what can't I mean for stars
A song that means too much
So many things to know
When twilight seems to go
The long night just for dreams
You said to me again

Oh just say to me again
The calling for the sun
I can't believe you're gone
No never would we try
Our hands would dance away
Without the time to cry

Now I see the nighttime shadows
Breaking over dreams
That have no more to say
If time will pass
I'll wait for you until and then
I'll wait for you again

Then all I will ask of you
Is all you want to give
When twilight breaks the day
Come quickly now and stay
As long as we can try
Without the time to cry

Oh we ought to wait
Oh we ought to wait
Oh we ought to wait

Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky
Hang it on a tree
For that's the way to start to make a pretty world
For you and for me

And for the sun we'll take a lemon bright balloon
You can hold the string
Oh can't you see that little world of ours will be
The prettiest thing

We can gather rain enough for the stream
To hold our happy faces
When we want a breeze, I'll blow you a kiss or two
Take me in your arms and our little world
Will be the place of places
Nothing left to make but breakfast and love

We'll hang a little sign that just says Paradise
Population two
For that's the way to start to make a pretty world
For me and for you
For you
It's what I wanted to do, to do
To make a world – for you

[No lyrics]

You
Stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem

Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours
Honest and truly?

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart

(musical interlude)

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart . . .
Wa-dee-la-la
Out of a dream!

Look back to see all the dreams
You said you never even tried for
Like mirrors try to see
New reflections that will be
Crystal Illusions

I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
The shadows walking beside me will find me

Could it be I'm just a dreamer
only looking for the sun
If I stay awake the morning
I believe the day will come

I'll go away
(I'll go away)
I'll find a way
(I'll find a way)
I'll try to know
(Know what I say)
I'll go

All the love that hides behind the eyes
That try to find a reason
If you only look within it's true
Love will begin
Waiting there to find you

I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
The shadows walking beside me will find me

All I want to know is wonder
Want my eyes to feel the rain
All the tears that spill for sorrow
Will begin and end again

I'll go away
(I'll go away)
I'll find a way
(I'll find a way)
I'll try to know
(Know what I say)
I'll go

I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
(I will be waiting for the sun)
The shadows walking beside me will find me
(I want my eyes to feel the rain)
I'll walk but don't walk behind me
(We'll begin and end again)
I'll go where no one will find me
(I will be waiting for the sun)
The shadows walking beside me will find me . . .
