petronia

Possibly I should have saved this as per tradition, for the week between Fuji Yuuta's and Fuji Shuusuke's birthdays (which will always be somewhat special to me I think, not least because my own birthday falls halfway through XD), but I have a spare half-hour now, and who knows about then.

Of course the tracklisting has undergone plenty of changes over time. Still generally within the purview of relaxing, pretty BGM, though.

Flor de Yemanjá EP

01 - Ono Lisa - Flor de Yemanjá
//the sea and white flower

02 - Gal Costa - Aquele Frevo Axé
//reminders of carnaval

Aquele frevo axé
Gal Costa (Caetano Veloso)

Que fazer?
Meu pensamento está preso àquele carnaval
Volto a pisar este chão
Enceno um drama banal
Tento refazer a trama
Mas o desfecho é igual
E você?
Será que canta calada aquele frevo axé
Que não me deixa dormir
Ou terá perdido a fé
No que ficou prometido
Sem nos falarmos sequer
Meu amor
Ando na praça vazia e espero o sol se por
Vejo o clarão se extinguir
Por trás da mão do poeta
Nosso amor não vai sumir
Veja onde a gente se achou
Estrelas já vão luzir
Na noite da baía preta
Queria tanto você aqui
Que fazer?...

03 - Sunahara Yoshinori - My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose
//a penetrating perfume

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose
Sunahara Yoshinori (Robert Burns)

O, my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O, my luve is like a melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
till a' the seas gang dry.
Adn I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
But fare thee weel, my only luve!
O, fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come agian, my luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand miles.
Tho' 'twere then thousand mile, my luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile,
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho 'twere ten thousand mile.

//so lead me down

The Ocean
Richard Hawley

You lead me down, to the ocean
So lead me down, by the ocean

You know it's been a long time,
You always leave me tongue-tied
And all this time's for us
I love you just because

You lead me down, to the ocean
The world is fine, by the ocean

You know this time's for real
It helps the heart to heal
You know it breaks the seal on the talisman that harms
And so you look at me and need
The space that means as much to me

So lead me down, to the ocean
Our world is fine, by the ocean

You know the way it is in life, it's so hard to live up to
So why are you still dressed in your mourning suit
I assume, I assume

You'll lead me down, to the ocean
Don't leave me down, by the ocean
The ocean

Here comes the wave, here comes the wave
Here comes the wave, down by the ocean
