Encosta-te a mim - Jorge Palma
Encosta-te a mim,
nós já vivemos cem mil anos.
Encosta-te a mim,
talvez eu esteja a exagerar.
Encosta-te a mim,
dá cabo dos teus desenganos
não queiras ver quem eu não sou,
deixa-me chegar.
Chegada da guerra,
fiz tudo para sobreviver, em nome da terra,
no fundo para te merecer
recebe-me bem,
não desencantes os meus passos
faz de mim o teu herói, não quero adormecer.
Tudo o que eu vi,
estou a partilhar contigo
o que não vivi, hei-de inventar contigo
sei que não sei, às vezes entender o teu olhar,
mas quero-te bem,
encosta-te a mim.
Encosta-te a mim,
desatinamos tantas vezes.
Vizinha de mim,
deixa ser meu o teu quintal,
recebe esta pomba que não está armadilhada
foi comprada, foi roubada, seja como foi.
Eu venho do nada
porque arrasei o que não quis
em nome da estrada, onde só quero ser feliz.
Enrosca-te a mim,
vai desarmar a flor queimada,
vai beijar o homem-bomba, quero adormecer.
Tudo o que eu vi,
estou a partilhar contigo, e o que não vivi,
um dia hei-de inventar contigo
sei que não sei, às vezes entender o teu olhar,
mas quero-te bem.
Encosta-te a mim
Encosta-te a mim
Quero-te bem.
Encosta-te a mim.

My Way - Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived, a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.
I did, what I had to do, and saw it through, without exemption.
I planned, each charted course, each careful step, along the byway,
and more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spit it out.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
and did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think, I did all that, and may I say --- not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things, he truly feels,
And not the words, of one who kneels.
The record shows, I took the blows ---
And did it my way!
I did it my way.
