MARIPOSA

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are



Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

TRILOGÍA

O primeiro me chegou como quem vem do florista
Trouxe um bicho de pelúcia, trouxe um broche de ametista
Me contou suas viagens e as vantagens que ele tinha
Me mostrou o seu relógio, me chamava de rainha
Me encontrou tão desarmada que tocou meu coração
Mas não me negava nada, e assustada, eu disse não



O segundo me chegou como quem chega do bar
Trouxe um litro de aguardente tão amarga de tragar
Indagou o meu passado e cheirou minha comida
Vasculhou minha gaveta me chamava de perdida
Me encontrou tão desarmada que arranhou meu coração
Mas não me entregava nada, e assustada, eu disse não

O terceiro me chegou como quem chega do nada
Ele não me trouxe nada também nada perguntou
Mal sei como ele se chama mas entendo o que ele quer
Se deitou na minha cama e me chama de mulher
Foi chegando sorrateiro e antes que eu dissesse não
Se instalou feito um posseiro dentro do meu coração

*************

El primero llegó a mí como quien viene de la florista
Trajo un peluche, trajo un broche de amatista
Me contó sus viajes y las virtudes que tenía
Me enseñó su reloj, me llamaba reina
Me encontró tan desarmada, que tocó mi corazón
Mas no me negaba nada, y asustada dije no


El segundo llegó a mí como quien llega del bar
Trajo un litro de aguardiente, tan amargo de tragar
Indagó sobre mi pasado y olisqueó mi comida
Hurgó en mis cajones y me llamaba puta
Me encontró tan desarmada que arañó mi corazón
Mas no me entregaba nada, y asustada dije no.


El tercero llegó a mí como quien llega de la nada
Nada me trajo, tampoco nada preguntó
Apenas conozco su nombre, pero imagino lo que quiere
Se deslizó en mi cama y me llama mujer
Fue llegando sigiloso y antes de que yo dijese no
Se instaló como un intruso dentro de mi corazón

BLUE DOOR

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

TWILIGHT TIME

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Las sombras de la noche van cayendo, es la hora del crepúsculo
Out of the mist your voice is calling, 'tis twilight time
Más allá de la bruma tu voz está llamando, es la hora del crepúsculo
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
Cuando las cortinas púrpura marquen el final del día
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Te escucharé, amor mío, en la hora del crepúsculo




Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Las sombras de la noche reúnen su esplendor como si fuese de día
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
Los dedos de la noche rendirán la puesta del Sol
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Cuento los momentos, querida, hasta que estés aquí conmigo
Together at last at twilight time
Juntos, por fin, en la hora del crepúsculo

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Aquí, en el rojizo resplandor del día, mantenemos nuestro encuentro bajo el cielo
And, in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then
Y, de la misma y dulce manera, vuelvo a estar enamorado como entonces

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
En las profundidades de la oscuridad, tu beso me estremecerá como antaño
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Brillando la chispa del amor que me llena de indecibles sueños
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Cada día rezo al anochecer sólo para estar contigo
Together at last at twilight time
Juntos por fin a la hora del crpúsculo

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door.



The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way.


Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried,
Anyway you'll never know
The many ways I've tried.


And still they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door.

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door.

VIENA (IV)

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.



Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.



You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how.

VIENA (III)

VIENA (II)

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

Nobody knows where my johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine?



Chorus

Play all my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'til johnny's dancing with me,
I've got no reason to smile

Chorus

Judy and johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring

VIENA (I)

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.



I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover.
So you better think it over.
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true,
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,
But what would it matter?
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to hold you,
I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out,
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.



You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,

Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling

If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I´d like to do
Is to save every day
´Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you



If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I´d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I´ve looked around enough to know
That you´re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
