Caetano Veloso
The 'Bob Dylan of Brazil'


Caetano Veloso has been mentioned as "one of the greatest songwriters of the century' by The New York Times!



This song was written by Peninha, another Brazilian Singer, but became famous on Caetano Veloso's voice. It enphasizes "when we like, of course we care."

I hope you enjoy it, as much as all Brazilians do!

Sozinho
Alone
Song & Lyrics by Peninha

�s vezes, no sil�ncio
da noite
Eu fico imaginando n�s dois
Eu fico ali sonhando acordado,
Juntando o antes, o agora
e o depois

Por que voc� me deixa t�o solto?
Por que voc� n�o cola em mim?
T� me sentindo muito sozinho!

N�o sou nem quero ser
o seu dono
� que um carinho
�s vezes cai bem

Eu tenho meus desejos
e planos secretos
S� abro pra voc�
mais ningu�m

Por que voc� me esquece
e some?
E se eu me interessar
por algu�m?
E se ela, de repente,
me ganha?

Quando a gente gosta
� claro que a gente cuida.
Fala que me ama
S� que � da boca pra fora

Ou voc� me engana
Ou n�o est� madura
Onde est� voc� agora?

Sometimes, in the silence
of night
I am imagining the two of us
I am there day dreaming,
Joining 'before', 'now'
and 'than'

Why do you leave me so loose?
Why don't you stick on me?
I am feeling so lonely!

I'm not, nor I want to be
your owner
But sometimes a little affection
is good

I have my desires
and secret plans
I reveal them only to you
and nobody else

Why do you forget me
and disappear?
And if I get interested
in someone?
And if she, suddenly,
'gets' me?

When we like (someone)
obviously we care.
You say that you love me
But it is just from the mouth out

Whether you deceive me
Or you are not mature
Where are you by now?
