Tim Maia:
Highs and Lows of a Brazilian Legend


One of those gifted singers who are able to keep a conversation while singing, Tim Maia was a Brazilian musician known for his unforgettable voice and his humorous musical style. ;-)



Though he passed away in 1998, his songs will be playing in Brazil and abroad for decades to come.

At the end of this show, you can hear people shouting at him: "Volta! Volta!", which means: "Come back, come back!"

Millions of Brazilians wish he could.

N�o Quero Dinheiro
I Don't Want Money
Song & Lyrics by Tim Maia

Vou pedir pra voc� ficar
Vou pedir pra voc� voltar
Eu te amo
Eu te quero bem

Vou pedir pra voc� gostar
Vou pedir pra voc� me amar
Eu te amo, eu te adoro,
Meu amor!

A semana inteira fiquei esperando
Pra te ver sorrindo,
Pra te ver cantando
Quando a gente ama
N�o pensa em dinheiro
S� se quer amar, se quer amar

De jeito maneira
N�o quero dinheiro
Quero amor sincero,
Isso � que eu espero
Grito ao mundo inteiro:
N�o quero dinheiro,
Eu s� quero amar!

Espero para ver se voc� vem,
N�o te troco nesta vida por ningu�m,
Porque eu te amo,
Eu te quero bem.

Acontece que na vida
a gente tem
Que ser feliz
por ser amado por algu�m
Porque eu te amo, eu te adoro,
Meu amor!

I will ask you to stay
I will ask you to come back
I love you
I wish you well

I will ask you to enjoy it
I will ask you to love me
I love you, I adore you,
My love!

The whole week I was waiting
To see you smiling,
To see you singing
When we love someone,
We don't think of money
All we want is love, just love

There is no way,
I don't want money
I want a sincere love,
That's what I espect
I shout to the whole world:
I don't want money,
I just want to love!

I wait to see if you come,
I don't exchange you for anyone,
Because I love,
I wish you well.

It happens that in life
we all have
To be happy
for being loved by someone
'Cause I love you, I adore you
My love!
