Avohai é um neologismo criado pelo cantor e compositor brasileiro Zé Ramalho, e consiste na aglutinação das palavras “avô” e “pai”.
De acordo com a história divulgada na biografia do artista – “Zé Ramalho: o poeta dos abismos” – esta palavra teria surgido durante uma experiência com drogas alucinógenas.
O avô de Zé Ramalho teria desempenhado um importante papel paterno para o cantor, que perdeu o pai biológico enquanto ainda era criança.
Na interpretação de Zé Ramalho, o “avôhai” é a sabedoria que consegue passar por gerações, seja de avô para pai, pai para filho, ou mesmo avô para filho.
Zé Ramalho é o álbum de estreia solo do cantor brasileiro Zé Ramalho.
O álbum conta com a participação do tecladista Patrick Moraz, da banda inglesa Yes, na faixa "Avôhai". "Avôhai" foi composta em homenagem ao avô de Zé, que o adotou após o pai morrer afogado dois anos depois de seu nascimento. Ramalho diz que a inspiração para a música veio após uma experiência com cogumelos alucinógenos na fazenda de uns amigos. Ele olhou para o céu e viu a "sombra de uma gigantesca nave espacial", e uma voz disse "Avôhai" em seu ouvido. Ele estava na fazenda para realizar um estudo para a faculdade. "Avôhai" é uma junção das palavras "Avô" e "Pai". Esta foi a primeira das suas canções que Zé ouviu no rádio, quando estava num táxi. 
Um velho cruza a soleira
De botas longas, de barbas longas
De ouro o brilho do seu colar
Na laje fria onde quarava
Sua camisa e seu alforje de caçador

Oh meu velho e invisível
Avôhai
Oh meu velho e indivisível
Avôhai

Neblina turva e brilhante
Em meu cérebro, coágulos de sol
Amanita matutina
E que transparente cortina
Ao meu redor

E se eu disser que é mei sabido
Você diz que é mei pior
E pior do que planeta
Quando perde o girassol

É o terço de brilhante
Nos dedos de minha avó
E nunca mais eu tive medo da porteira
Nem também da companheira
Que nunca dormia só

Avôhai!
Avôhai!
Avôhai!

O brejo cruza a poeira
De fato existe um tom mais leve
Na palidez desse pessoal
Pares de olhos tão profundos
Que amargam as pessoas que fitar

Mas que bebem sua vida
Sua alma na altura que mandar
São os olhos, são as asas
Cabelos de avôhai

Na pedra de turmalina e no terreiro da usina eu me criei
Voava de madrugada e na cratera condenada eu me calei
E se eu calei foi de tristeza você cala por calar
E calado vai ficando só fala quando eu mandar

Rebuscando a consciência com medo de viajar
Até o meio da cabeça do cometa
Girando na carrapeta no jogo de improvisar
Entrecortando eu sigo dentro a linha reta
Eu tenho a palavra certa
Pra doutor não reclamar

Avôhai! Avôhai!
Avôhai! Avôhai!

Was livin' in a lonely world
A shadow in the night when baby
There you were and you saved me with a smile

You really took my breath away
You caught me by surprise cause darlin'
I wasn't lookin' to meet somebody
But I got lost in your eyes
And here we are so in love
It was all in the stars

I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Till the end of time

You're everything I'll ever need
I know you'll understand, oh baby
Since I met you I been more of a woman
And I'm a better man
And you will never be lost and alone anymore

I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Till the end of time

We're ridin' on a passion of love
We're flyin' in the heavens above
And nothin' gonna bring us down

I love you till the end of time
I give my heart I give my life
I'll be by your side
Day and night

I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine

I'll love you till the end of time.

"Could It Be Magic" is a song with lyrics by Adrienne Anderson and music by Barry Manilow, based on Frédéric Chopin's Prelude in C Minor, Opus 28, Number 20. Initially released in 1971 by Featherbed (a group of session musicians featuring Barry Manilow), produced and co-written by Tony Orlando, it was later re-recorded as a Barry Manilow solo track, given a first album and single release in 1973 on Bell Records and - after remixing - an album and single rerelease in 1975 on Arista Records. The 1975 re-release became one of Manilow's first hits. The song has been recorded by a number of other artists over the years, most successfully by Donna Summer in 1976 and by Take That in 1992.
Take That are an English pop group formed in Manchester in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Barlow acts as the group's lead singer and primary songwriter, with Owen and Williams initially providing backing vocals and Donald and Orange serving primarily as dancers.
The group have had 28 top 40 singles and 17 top 5 singles in the United Kingdom, 12 of which have reached number one, as well as having eight number one albums. Internationally, the band have had 56 number one singles and 39 number one albums. They have received eight Brit Awards—winning awards for Best British Group and Best British Live Act.
Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996. After filming a 2005 documentary about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while selling over 45 million records worldwide.
Spirits move me, every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
You're my life line, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answer I can find

[CHORUS:]
Baby I want you come, come, come into my arms
Let me feel the wonder of all of you
Could it be magic now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last

Baby take me high upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you build my world around you
Never leave you till my life is done

[CHORUS]

Spirits move me every time I'm near you
Whiling like a cyclone in my mind

THE FIELDS OF ATHENRY

GENRE: IRISH FOLK
YEAR: 1970

"The Fields of Athenry" is na Irish folk ballad set during the Great Irish Famine(1845–1850). The lyrics feature a fictional man named Michael from near Athenry in County Galway who stole food for his starving family and has been sentenced to transportation to the Australian penal colony at Botany Bay. It is a widely known and popular anthem for Irish sports supporters.
"The Fields of Athenry" was written in the 1970s by Pete St. John. A claim was made in 1996 that a broadsheet ballad published in the 1880s had similar words; however, the folklorist and researcher John Moulden found no basis to this claim, and Pete St. John has stated that he wrote the words as well as the music.
The song was first recorded by Jerry Crilly. In 1979, it was recorded by Danny Doyle, reaching the top ten in the Irish Singles Chart. The song charted again in 1982 for Barleycorn, reaching number seven in Ireland, but the most successful version was released by Paddy Reilly in 1982. While peaking only at number four, it remained in the Irish charts for 72 weeks. Two further versions have since reached the Irish top ten: the Cox Crew getting to number five in 1999, while Dance to Tipperary peaked at number six in 2001.
The lyrics say the convict's crime is that he "stole Trevelyan's corn"; this is a reference to Charles Edward Trevelyan, a senior British civil servant in the administration of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in Dublin Castle. Trevelyan famously said, "the judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson". He believed that the starving Irish could subsist on maize, a grain that they could not afford, and had little knowledge of or experience in preparing.
The Dubliners were an Irish folk band founded in Dublin in 1962 as The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group after its founding member; they subsequently renamed themselves The Dubliners. The line-up saw many changes over their fifty-year career, but the group's success was centred on lead singers Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew. The band garnered international success with their lively Irish folk songs, traditional street ballads and instrumentals. The band were regulars on the folk scenes in both Dublin and London in the early 1960s, and were signed to the Major Minor label in 1965 after backing from Dominic Behan. They went on to receive extensive airplay on Radio Caroline, and eventually appeared on Top of the Pops in 1967 with hits "Seven Drunken Nights" (which sold over 250,000 copies in the UK) and "The Black Velvet Band". Often performing political songs considered controversial at the time, they drew criticism from some folk purists and Ireland’s national broadcaster RTÉ had placed an unofficial ban on their music from 1967 to 1971. During this time the band's popularity began to spread across mainland Europe and they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States. The group's success remained steady right through the 1970s and a number of collaborations with The Pogues in 1987 saw them enter the UK Singles Chart on another two occasions.
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the Crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely harbor wall,
she watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,
for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
