Canto de Ossanha

Toots Thielemans

O canto da mais difícil
E mais misteriosa das deusas
Do candomblé baiano
Aquela que sabe tudo
Sobre as ervas
Sobre a alquimia do amor"

Deaaá! Deeerê! Deaaá!

O homem que diz "dou"
Não dá!
Porque quem dá mesmo
Não diz!
O homem que diz "vou"
Não vai!
Porque quando foi
Já não quis!
O homem que diz "sou"
Não é!
Porque quem é mesmo "é"
Não sou!
O homem que diz "tou"
Não tá
Porque ninguém tá
Quando quer
Coitado do homem que cai
No canto de Ossanha
Traidor!
Coitado do homem que vai
Atrás de mandinga de amor

Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Não Vou!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Não Vou!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Não Vou!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Não Vou!

Que eu não sou ninguém de ir
Em conversa de esquecer
A tristeza de um amor
Que passou
Não!
Eu só vou se for prá ver
Uma estrela aparecer
Na manhã de um novo amor

Amigo sinhô
Saravá
Xangô me mandou lhe dizer
Se é canto de Ossanha
Não vá!
Que muito vai se arrepender
Pergunte pr'o seu Orixá
O amor só é bom se doer
Pergunte pr'o seu Orixá
O amor só é bom se doer

Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Amar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Sofrer!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Chorar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Dizer!

Que eu não sou ninguém de ir
Em conversa de esquecer
A tristeza de um amor
Que passou
Não!
Eu só vou se for prá ver
Uma estrela aparecer
Na manhã de um novo amor

Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Amar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Sofrer!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Chorar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Dizer!

Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Amar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Sofrer!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Chorar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Dizer!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
