Stay Don’t go Don’t walk away It’s just the two of us Don’t go away Not now Just Stay Stay Why don’t you stay with me?

Feel the heat Feel the heat I’m walking through the night And when you get inside I want to dance with you And make my dreams come true Get on your feet Move to the beat Just feel the heat That’s where we meet Feel the heat Ah-ha C’mon Heads up if you want to make them grand’s up If you can’t stand up Then I’m going to pick you up Hit the streets liked a chopped up truck What you want People standing in the back Need to bring it to the front Go ahead with the sure-fire method Machinegun lyrics Continue with the interference to get the clearance Feel the heat C’mon Get on your feet Move to the beat Just feel the heat That’s where we meet Feel the heat I’m walking through the night And when you get inside I want to dance with you And make my dreams come true Get on your feet Move to the beat Just feel the heat That’s where we meet Heads up if you want to make them grand’s up If you can’t stand up Then I’m going to pick you up Hit the streets liked a chopped up truck What you want People standing in the back Need to bring it to the front Go ahead with the sure-fire method Machinegun lyrics Continue with the interference to get the clearance Just feel the heat Feel the heat Feel the heat

Alvaro M. Rocha & João Jacinto - Fado Pesado 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Sou pedaço de vida deitado na sombra de uma multidão, sou força vencida, mergulhada e perdida em desilusão. Sou dor viciada em choro e pranto, sem poder fugir, sou no sofrimento o espelho do tempo, sem nunca o medir. Sou um rosto secreto e incompreendido na palavra sim, sou um resto de gente, vergado ao silêncio, não se riam de mim. Sou povo enjeitado, em nudez de encanto, carrego minha cruz, sou um fado pesado, compasso trinado, um canto sem Luz. Se digo o que sinto, se minto no que sou, não o faço por querer, não me disfarço, nem me escondo, no falso sentido do que acabo por ser. Se me dou e me desfaço, se luto esquecido vivo insatisfeito, sou no cinzento tristeza, verbo conjugado; pretérito imperfeito. Sou um rio parado, sem margens, sem leito, sem fundo, sem foz... Uma barca sem remos, sem redes, sem leme, sem velas, sem nós... Sou tarde poema, de versos sem rima, lenta de se pôr, por entre o nevoeiro, o que desaparece e se apaga de cor. Sou um resto de gente, o que falta do início, um caminho para o fim, vergado ao silêncio, vergado ao silêncio, não se riam de mim. Se digo o que sinto, se minto no que sou, não o faço por querer, não me disfarço, nem me escondo, no falso sentido do que acabo por ser.
