1. ONE-TRICK PONY                                                                  VOLTAR

 

I'm not a one-trick pony, I'm not a one-trick pony

I really feel nothing can hold me I really feel no one can own me

nobody can control me nobody can conform me 

nobody can disown me nobody can ignore me 

so slow down, one-trick pony

I'm not a one-trick pony, I'm not a one-trick pony

for you I will not dance, and for you I will not prance

and where I was last, I'll never be at, than after that I've already pass

So slow down, one-trick pony

Yeah you do it for a ride I can see it in your eyes, say that no as never mine

I don't wanna stand of line, she gotta a one-trick story goes

If weren't time you never knows co's a one-trick pony steals the show

she's coming undone, this ride, ride, ride, this ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

 

2. POWERLESS (SAY WHAT YOU WANT)                 VOLTAR

 

Paint my face in your magazines Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside a fight
And say just what is on my mind Without offending your might

Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want Say what you want

I saw her face outside today Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it’s moccasins we sport We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want Say what you want
Say...say eh eh eh eh

Hey you, the one, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo

Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
So say what you want, Say what you want, Say what you want
Say what you want, Say what you want, Say what you want
Say what you want, Say... eh eh eh eh

 

(Life is too short just for you feel powerless gonna do)

Life is too short just for you think powerless gonna do

 

3. EXPLODE                                                                    VOLTAR

 

Penso, Joga, Ginga, Roda

Vera´s face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a lighter and some hairspray Smoking in the girls´ room
Not worse than Shelley´s rape behind the McDonald´s
By a man she thought was fine, didn´t tell anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Now we look back and see that she didn´t know how
We never thought that we´d get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode As we explode

Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled
Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade
We couldn´t get enough

Then count the stars and the ten million woes Just you and the universe judging each other
We never knew that we´d get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode As we explode As we explode As we let go

Penso, Roda, Ginga, Joga
It´s a fight, it´s a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it´s more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell

You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it
And you´re in it and it´s spinning  And it´s wild

We never thought that we´d get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode As we explode As we explode As we let go

We´re counting the stars We´re counting the stars
We´re gonna go far, we´re gonna go far
We´re counting the stars; we´re counting the stars
We´re not very far; we´re not very far

And it´s you and me in the open air It´s truth or dare, we don´t care
We´re counting the stars; we´re counting the stars,
We´re counting the stars; we´re counting the stars.

 

4. TRY                                                                              VOLTAR

 

All I know Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow

Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn Them more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there

I'm all I'll ever be But all I can do is try Try

All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life And that's you, baby
This is me, baby And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
Free In our love, We are free in our love

 

5. FRESH OFF THE BOAT                                             VOLTAR

 

I rock these bare feet like no one else can
My hands are dirty I like 'em that way Shows Who I am

I'm fresh off the boat Fresh off the boat
Fresh off the boat Fresh off the boat

The wine tastes good on my sweet lips like sunshine
The plastics on the furniture suits me just fine

I'm fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat,
fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat

Querida menina à beira do mar Querida menina à beira do mar
Apanha um barco branco e vai, vai, vai Apanha um barco branco e vai, vai, vai
Aquela menina à beira do mar Aquela menina à beira do mar
Aquela menina à beira do mar Querida menina e vai, vai, vai


fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat
Querida menina à beira do mar Querida menina à beira do mar
Querida menina à beira do mar Querida menina à beira do mar
Aquela menina à beira do mar Querida menina à beira do mar
Querida menina à beira do mar Beira do mar, mar yeah!

 

6. FORÇA                                                                        VOLTAR

 

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins
And it’s the feeling like you’re oh so glad you came
It is the moment you remember you're alive
It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire
It is that flower that you took the time to smell
It is the power that you know you got as well
It is the fear inside that you can overcome
This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum

Com uma força, com uma força Com uma força que ninguém pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força Com uma fome que ninguém pode matar

It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life
It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly
It is the beautiful game that you choose to play
When you step out into the world to start your day
You show your face and take it in and scream and pray
You're gonna win it for yourself and us today
It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey
The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey!

Com uma força, com uma força Com uma força que ninguem pode parar

(Ninguém pode parar, esta força, guerreira, oh)
Com uma força, com uma força Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

Força!, força!, força!, força, ah!

Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, Mais que tudo ser, mais que tudo ter

Com uma força, com uma força Com uma força que ninguem pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

(It is the passion flowing right on through your veins And it’s the feeling like you’re oh so glad you came
It is the moment you remember you're alive It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire)

Pode parar, és tamanha, és tamanha, tão grande e tão forte come on!

 

7. THE GRASS IS GREEN                                              VOLTAR

 

Oh, I once had something Something that was so good
Better than the last thing I touched Then turned right around

On that something And figured I didn't like that much

Oh yeah, the grass is green But can you tell me, can you feel it,

I just wanna feel it Oh yeah, the grass is green
But I think I stained my jeans and now everybody knows that I been in it

I am a believer But as I was standing In line, somebody took my place
Yes, I'm a believer, never mind what they say I got so tired along the way

Oh yeah, the grass is green But can you tell me, can you feel it, I just wanna feel it
Oh yeah, the grass is green But I think I stained my jeans and now everybody knows thah I been in it

I've got a skeleton that's deeper than any closet And a bomb that I will drop on it
But you opened up to me 'Til I could only see the beauty in your dishonesty

Oh yeah, the grass is green But can you tell me, can you feel it,

You just wanna feel it Oh yeah the grass is green
But it think I stained my jeans and now, baby, you can tell that I been in it

Oh yeah, the grass is green but it's not what it seems cause when you think
You want it you just need it Forget just what you need
The clock is ticking and this life is a train, man, I think you're on it
And it's what you wanted (and is what you wanted)

And it's what you needed (is what you needed)
Oh is what you wanted (and it's what you wanted)

And it's what you needed (is what you needed)

I was are you wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted
Or is it what I needed and what you wanted

 

8. PICTURE PERFECT                                                     VOLTAR

 

Picture perfect a life that you sow in the magazine or maybe a traveling book

Wanted to get on that plane and fly away, cos' you are a rockstar deep down inside

You walk with a swagger got nothing to hide, cigarette in your mouth a cuff on your jeans

Your sideburns are perfect, perfect to lean, so you made in oil painting to immortalize

Oh is that hope in vision in your eyes, in your leisure coat cowboy hat

North American records and so much to bat for

 

Please bring me along, Please bring me along

And I what you see everyting you have to offer me

 

Get a job liftin cement oh is so dry when it's rain is gets

Village was great now it suburb you left behind records

 

9. SATURDAYS                                                                     VOLTAR

 

Hot motel stuffy inside I know well these eleven walls, Hot black tar I tan my legs

Rest my heart and dream of the city, Magazine and diet Coke I'm not a joke this is me

Damaged leg heavy cart plastic cups linen mart, Rock garden where I used to play

People stare part of their day coffe break lunch at noon, Pumpernickel steak

Green and orange room done my list I make my way, To help my mother end her day

Fresh cut grass parking lot we roll on out we gota a lot, we're on our way roll the windows down

And scream out loud we're tired now, Take it home stop on the way to the bakery

For some fruit and cake home I lay after a shower clean, I hit my head and I dream.

 

10. BUILD YOU UP                                                              VOLTAR

 

Baby don't believe it, Baby don't believe it, oh it's in your eyes I can see the weakness

You don't have to hide I can take you under, under my wing cuz your voice gives me a song

That I love to sing

 

Baby they build you up only to tear you down, don't give up

baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it  Oh it's good for nothing

 

You where just a child ready to explore  and everything you saw looked like an open door, a place you can remember you’d love to go back but you can’t even comprehend that is all in the past baby they build you up only to tear you down, don’t give up baby don’t believe it baby don’t believe it, I’ll never build you up only to tear you down, baby don’t believe it baby don’t believe it oh it’s good for something, put your heart in my hands and I won’t hurt you, put your heart in my hands I promise not to, (fly away, fly away…) put your heart in my hands lift you up you’ll fly away, fly away lift you up. Oh they build you up only to tear you down don’t give up baby don’t believe it baby don’t believe it, I’ll never build you up only to tear you down baby just believe it, baby just believe it oh it’s good for something, I’ll never build you up only to tear you down oh, it’s good for something and I love you the way you are.

 

11. ISLAND OF WONDER feat. CAETANO VELOSO  VOLTAR

 

The man wrinkles his face  But it´s already worn

The coffee is sour  And the shirt is torn

But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea

And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in me

 

Island of wonder  Where do you come from?

Is it the way the sun hits my face  Or is it your memory

Which I cannot trace  I cannot trace

 

Eu vejo mais ao longe  Pessoas sem fome

Com pés sangrando  Na vereda florida

And the church bell dongs  A remarkable song

And I swallow the salt  As I hum along

The woman she laughs as I pass her by

In a patchwork (dream) I left behind

 

Island of wonder Where do you come from?

Is it the way the sun hits my face Or is it your memory

Which I cannot trace I cannot trace

 

Look at me I have so much pride I took my shoes off I ran I did not hide

Look at me I have so much pride I will give my dowry for the prize

 

Island of wonder Where are you going?

Nobody knows it But it is snowing

In the hearts and minds of every kind of universe.

Universe. Universe

 

Island of wonder Where are you going?

Nobody knows it But it is snowing

In the hearts and minds of every kind of universe.

Universe. Universe

 

12. CHILDHOOD DREAMS                                            VOLTAR

I can’t believe you need me I never thought I would be needed for anything

I can believe my shoulder would carry such important weight as your head and your tears

I can’t believe you chose me, in all my fragility me, It hurts so much when I love you It makes me cry

Every time, Oh you, Oh you are, Oh you are, the little boy made for me in the stars, in the stars that’s why I can’t let you go, the little boy made for me in the stars, that’s why I love you more the further I go and before this existence you were always there waiting for me you are, you are the realest thing I know hands down the realest thing I know

I am not used to being carried or being able to carry a pretty song I have been bruised by my many trails sometimes my skin’s so thick it’s frail I jus need to be ignored ‘til I wake up to the beauty that is yours and it all comes to life so suddenly this is a place so deep, the water’s so deep I hesitate, cuz all the energy it takes to feel this power I tend run I tend to hide ‘till I fend you and I know I got you, I know, I know, I know you’re the little boy made for me in the stars in the stars in the stars that’s why I can’t let you go the little boy made for me in the stars that’s why I love you more the further I go and before this existence you were always here inside of me you are, you are, the realest thing I know hands down… the realest thing I know, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, my childhood dreams, when you carry me, when you carry me, when you carry me Its so happy, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, I’m sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams, my childhood dreams.
