Bebel Gilberto Close Your Eyes Lyrics

Close Your Eyes Lyrics

(Lyrics by Dinho Ouro Preto, Bebel Gilberto, Béco Dranoff)



You know you can feel the breeze with patience of a lifetime

Dance above the trees to the rhythm in your mind

Gently touching your skin inside out

Floating on the seas, it carries me around 



You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone 



Penso em você, sinto um gosto de mar

Nos grãos de areia, e eu a rolar

Vou rodar o mundo , mas aqui é o meu lugar

Eu vou rodar o mundo mas aqui é o meu lugar



(Translation:

Thinking about you, I feel the taste of the sea

In the sand grains, I am rolling 

Gonna go around the world, but here is my place

I'll go around the world, but here is my place)



You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone 



Since the day I left, from the start 

I can feel megabytes of memories in my heart

Wish I disappear and wake up in some other place 

Where there's no pain or fear, is simple like 'Hello'



You can close your eyes and never be alone 

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

You can close your eyes and never be alone

SAMBA OF THE BLESSING

(Literal translation by Béco Dranoff)

It's better to be happy than sad 

Happiness is the best thing there is 

It is like a light in the heart 

But to make a samba with beauty 

It's needed a bit of sadness 

If not the samba can't be made 



To make a samba is not like telling a joke

And who makes samba like this is worth nothing 

The good samba is a kind of prayer 

Because samba is the sadness that sways 

And sadness is always hopeful 

Of one day not being sad any more 



Put a little love in the cadence 

And you'll see that in this world nobody wins 

The beauty that a samba have 

Because samba was born in Bahia 

And if today it is white in it's poetry 

It is very black in it's heart
