MUSIC: Anna Setton (2012), Sarah Vaughan (1977), Elis Regina (1967), Andy Bey (2007) Sing "O Cantador" / "Like A Lover"




O Cantador (Dori Caymmi & Nelson Motta) 


Amanhece, preciso ir 
meu caminho é sem volta e sem ninguém 
Eu vou prá onde a estrada levar 
Cantador só sei cantar 

Ah! eu canto a dor 
canto a vida e a morte, canto o amor 

Cantador não escolhe o seu cantar 
Canta o mundo que vê 
e pro mundo que vi meu canto é dor 
mas é forte prá espantar a morte 
prá todos ouvirem minha voz 
mesmo longe 

De que servem meu canto e eu 
se em meu peito há um amor que não morreu 
Ah! se eu soubesse ao menos chorar 
cantador só sei cantar 
Ah! Eu canto a dor 
de uma vida perdida sem amor

  1. "Like A Lover (O Cantador)" (Sergio Mendes)

    Like a lover, the morning sun
    Slowly rises and kisses you awake
    Your smile is soft and fuzzy
    As you let it play upon your face
    Oh, how I dream
    I might be like the morning sun to you

    Like a lover, the river wind
    Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
    Upon your cheek it lingers
    Never having known a sweeter place
    Oh, how I dream
    I might be like the river wind to you

    How I envy a cup that knows your lips
    Let it be me, my love
    And a table that feels your fingertips
    Let it be me, let me be your love
    Bring an end to the endless days and nights
    Without you

    Like a lover, the velvet moon
    Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
    Its light arrives on tiptoe
    Gently taking you in its embrace
    Oh, how I dream
    I might be like the velvet moon to you

    Oh, how I dream
    I might be like the river wind to you

    How I envy a cup that knows your lips
    Let it be me, my love
    And a table that feels your fingertips
    Let it be me, let me be your love
    Bring an end to the endless days and nights
    Without you

    Like a lover, the velvet moon
    Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
    Its light arrives on tiptoe
    Gently taking you in its embrace
    Oh, how I dream
    I might be like the velvet moon to you

    I might be like the velvet moon to you

    I might be like the velvet moon to you...
