Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ah
Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê

Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê ah
Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê

Faltou luz mas era dia, o sol invadiu a sala
Fez da TV um espelho refletindo o que a gente esquecia

Faltou luz mas era dia... di-ia
Faltou luz mas era dia, dia, dia

O som das crianças brincando nas ruas
Como se fosse um quintal
A cerveja gelada na esquina
Como se espantasse o mal

Um chá pra curar essa azia
Um bom chá pra curar essa azia
Todas as ciências de baixa tecnologia
Todas as cores escondidas nas nuvens da rotina

Pra gente ver... por entre os prédios e nós...
Pra gente ver... o que sobrou do céu...

    My Interpretation

    Letra critica aos condicionamentos modernos :

    Faltou luz, mas era dia O sol invadiu a sala

    -Quem não se lembra dos apagões de verão dos anos 90... Nessas horas quem era criança ia pra rua ou pro play brincar...

    Fez da tv um espelho Refletindo o que a gente esquecia

    -O sol bate no chão a tv vira um espelho e você lembra de você e do mundo ao seu redor...

    O som das crianças Brincando nas ruas Como se fosse um quintal

    -Sem eletricidade as crianças vão brincar ao ar livre...

    A cerveja gelada na esquina Como se Espantasse o mal

    -A cerveja ajuda espantar os problemas (mal)

    O chá para curar essa azia O bom chá para curar esta azia

    -Possivel referencia velada a plantas(cogu, ervas etc) psicotrópicas. Nesse caso o chá curaria as limitações da mente (azia)

    Todas as ciências De baixa tecnologia

    -Conhecimentos (ciências) antigos passados de geração em geração insubstituiveis pela nossa tecnologia

    Todas as cores escondidas Nas nuvens da rotina

    -Nossa rotina de obrigações é como um céu nublado que nos dificulta enxergar as cores (Felicidade, Liberdade etc) que existem em nós e ao nosso redor...

    Para a gente ver Por entre prédios e nós Pra gente ver O que sobrou do céu

    -Com a mente aberta é possível ver para além da prisão urbana de predios e da nossa própria prisão da rotina. O que sobrou do céu, então, é igual ao que sobrou de nossa liberdade...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
