“One Note Samba” lyrics”
By Sitti

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence of the one we’ve just been through
As I’m bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There’s so many people who can talk and talk and talk
and just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I’ve come
to nothing or nearly nothing

So I come back to my first note as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note all the love I feel for you
Any one who wants the whole show dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-ti-dó
He will find himself with no show better play the note you know

HOW DID YOU KNOW Lyrics
(OPM Song & Lyrics)
By Sitti

I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I’d wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine

CHORUS

How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there’s an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life

I’ll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I’m really trying to say
It’s not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you

Repeat Chorus

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

So close your eyes for that’s a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
No, You can’t deny, Don’t try to fight the rising sea
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three and when your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don’t be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three and when your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don’t be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together (fade with repeated ‘together’)

Oari rai?
Ob Ob Ob
Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba est animado
O que eu quero sambar
Este samba
Que misto de maracatu
samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu
Mas que nada
Um samba como esse t?o legal
Voc n?o vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

(first part: lyrics not in english)
I have crossed a thousand bridges
In my search for something real
There were great suspension bridges
Made of spiderwebs of steel

There were tiny wooden trestles
And there were bridges made of stone
I have always been a stranger
And I’ve always been alone

There’s a bridge to tomorrow
There’s a bridge from the past
There’s a bridge made of sorrow(?)
That I pray would not last There’s a bridge made of colors

In the sky high above
And I’m certain that somewhere
There’s a Bridge made of love
Lalala…
(repeat from 1st and 2nd stanza)

Kung gusto kong kumanta
At gusto ko ring sumayaw
Ako’y sumisipol saka malalaman
Ako pala’y payasong walang kasayaw

Bakit tayo ganito
Mga puso nati’y mailap
Lumapit ka giliw at tayo’y mag-samba
Kahit minsan man lamang

Kay tamis ng musika
Hanggang sa pagsapit ng umaga
Basta’t ang samba’y sayaw
Tayo’y magsasama muli
Walang hahadlang
Wala ring pipigil maski sino man
Narito na ang awit
At narito na ang sayaw
Huwag mong biguin sinta
Hayaan malasin mo na tayo’y mag-samba
We’ll make such sweet music
Until the night is done
Just dance the samba with me
We’ll be together again
Say you love me and I’ll say I love you too
This is the time for that song
And this is the time for that dance
I don’t feel alone because I know that you’ll stay with me
To samba through life with me….(slowly fade)

Daddy plays the ashtray.
Baby starts to cry.
The Lady wants to know
The reason why
Daddy’s just like Coltrane.
Baby’s just like Miles.
The Lady’s just like heaven
When she smiles.

And the Lady wants to know
She wants to know the reason
Got to know the reason why.
This man has got to go
This man is always leavin’
How he hates to say goodbye.

But what she doesn’t know
Is there really is no reason
There really is no reason why.

Daddy he hates airplanes.
Baby loves to fly.
And the Lady wants to know
The reason why.
Daddy’s just like Coltrane.
Baby’s just like Miles.
The Lady’s just like heaven
When she smiles.

Sometimes, I get tired of this me first attitude
You are the one thing, that keeps me smiling
That’s why I’m always wishing hard for you
‘Cos your life shines so bright
I don’t feel no solitude
You are my first, star at night
I’d be lost in space without you

(Chorus)

And I’ll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

Feels, just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can’t it always be so good
But it’s alright, I know your out there
Doing what you’ve gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I’d be lost in space without you

(Chorus)

And I’ll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

(Repeat chorus)

I’ll never lose my faith in you
I’ll never lose my faith in you

Invisible war, seems we’re fighting an invisible war
Strained manoeuvres, keeping silent score
In this invisible war
Every day I seem to lose you more
Both wishing it was like before
In this invisible war

Talk about a fine line between love and hate
We’ve lost more than our direction of late
Talk about a fine line between lovers and friends
We’ve never been lovers and now we’re not even friends

In this invisible war, seems we’re waging an invisible war
Every day I seem to lose you more
In this invisible war It wounded deeply the scar is here to stay

Opening up at all the little things I do and say
You always want things to be as before
So I make you angry and you bleed a little more In this invisible war, seems that we’re waging an invisible war

Every day I seem to lose you more
In this invisible war Want to go away (I still love you)
Got to go away (I always love you)
Got to be away (Time heals all wounds)

I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn’t looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn’t stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you

I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, honey
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love

Cause there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt
And not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you

I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love

So we built from here with love the foundation
In a world of tears, one consolation
Now you’re here, there’s a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two-foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you

I just didn’t know

I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love (I just didn’t know)
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love (Oh, I just didn’t know)
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby

I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you…

I learned the truth at seventeen_ That love was meant for beauty queens
and high school girls with clear skinned smiles who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew, the friday nights, charades of youth
were spent on one more beautiful_ At seventeen I learned the truth

And those of us with ravaged faces, lacking in the social graces
Desp’ratly re[mained at home inventing lovers on the phone
Who called and say “come dance with me” and murmured vague obscenities
It isn’t all it seems at seventeen

A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs, whose name I never could pronounce said
“Pity, please, the ones who serve, they only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed home-town queen marries into what she needs
A guarantee of company and haven for the elderly”

Remember those who win the game, lose the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and dubious integrity_
Their small town eyes will gape at you in dull surprise when payment due
exceeds accounts received at seventeen

To those of us who know the pain of valentines that never came,
and those whose name were never called when choosing side at basketball
It was long ago and far away_ The world was younger than today
and dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me

We all play the game and when we dare to cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone, repenting other lives unknown
that call and say “Come dance with me”, and murmur vague obscenities
at ugly girls like me, at seventeen

Maybe you soon forget about all
or maybe you’ll miss it like I do
one thing’s for sure:
I’m all knocked out
spend too much time thinking of you

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can’t get you out of my dreams

Don’t wanna write, I don’t wanna call,
- I would not know what to say
It should be you, that’s how I want it to be
Tell me you feel the same way

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
and I can’t get you out of my dreams

Oh, yesterday I was feeling safe
All I do today is trying to be brave
And no melody can seem to soothe my mind
And now I curse you for being so sweet and so kind

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your face is tattooed on my mind
And I can’t get you out of my dreams

Yes I know you’re tatooed on my mind you’re tatooed..

Olha que coisa mais linda,
Mais cheia de gra?.
?ela a menina que vem e que passa,
num doce balan? a caminho do mar.
Mo? do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema,
O seu balan?do ?mais que um poema,
?a coisa mais linda que eu j?vi passar.

Ah, por que estou t? sozinho?
Ah, por que tudo ?t? triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe,
A beleza que n? ?s?minha,
Que tamb? passa sozinha.

Ah, se ela soubesse
Que, quando ela passa,
O mundo inteirinho se enche de gra?
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor,

(Ooh) But he sees her so sadly, how can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles – but she doesn’t see
(She just doesn’t see)x6

Eis aqui este sambinha
Feito numa nota só
Outras notas vão entrar
Mas a base é uma só
Esta outra é consequência
Do que acabo de dizer
Como eu sou a consequência
Inevitável de você

Quanta gente existe por aí
Que fala tanto
E não diz nada
Ou quase nada
Já me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final não sobrou nada
Não deu em nada

E voltei prá minha nota
Como eu volto prá você
Vou cantar com a minha nota
Como eu gosto de você
E quem quer todas as notas
Ré mi fá sol la si dó
Fica sempre sem nenhuma
Fique numa nota só

There’s so many people who can
Talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale i know
And at the end i’ve come to nothing
Or nearly nothing

So i came back to my first note
As i must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love i feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
