Lindo capullo de
aleli
Si tú supieras mi dolor
Correspondieras a mi amor
Y calmaras mi sufrir
Porque tú sabes que sin ti
La vida es nada para mí
Tú bien lo sabes
Capullito de aleli
No hay en el mundo
para mí
Otro capullo de alelí
Que yo le brinde mi pasión
Y que le dé mi corazón
Porque tú eres la mujer
A quien he dado mi querer
Y te juré lindo alelí
Fidelidad hasta morir
Por eso yo te canto a
tí
Mi capullito de alelí
Dame tu aroma seductor
Y un poquito de tu amor
Porque tú sabes que sin ti
La vida es nada para mí
Tú bien lo sabes
Capullito de alelí.

Elis
Regina Carvalho Costa (Porto Alegre, 17 de
março de 1945 —
São
Paulo, 19 de janeiro de 1982) foi uma cantora
brasileira.
Conhecida pela competência vocal, musicalidade e presença de palco, é
considerada por muitos críticos a melhor cantora popular do Brasil enquanto em
vida. Sendo, para muitos, a melhor cantora brasileira de todos os tempos, foi
aclamada tanto no Brasil quanto internacionalmente, e comparada a cantoras como
Ella
Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan e Billie
Holiday. Com os sucessos de Falso
Brilhante (1975-1977) e Transversal do Tempo (1978), Elis Regina
inovou os espetáculos musicais no país. Foi casada com Ronaldo Bôscoli, com quem teve João Marcello Bôscoli (1970); em 1973,
casou-se com o pianista César Camargo Mariano, com quem teve dois
filhos: Pedro Camargo Mariano (1975) e Maria Rita
Camargo Mariano (1977).
Foi
a primeira grande artista a surgir dos festivais de música na década
de 1960 e descolava-se da estética da Bossa Nova
pelo uso de sua extensão vocal e de sua dramaticidade. Inicialmente, seu estilo
era influenciado pelos cantores do rádio, especialmente Ângela
Maria. Depois de quatro LP's gravados e sem grande sucesso — Viva a Brotolândia (1961), Poema
de Amor (1962), Elis Regina (1963), O Bem
do Amor (1963) — Elis foi a maior revelação do festival da TV
Excelsior em 1965, quando cantou Arrastão de Vinícius de Moraes e Edu Lobo.
Tal feito lhe garantiria o convite para atuar na televisão e, pouco tempo
depois, o título de primeira estrela da canção popular brasileira, quando
passou a comandar, ao lado de Jair
Rodrigues, um dois mais importantes programas de música popular brasileira,
O
Fino da Bossa. Em 1967, casou-se com Ronaldo Bôscoli, então diretor do Fino da Bossa. A
partir de 1972, Elis começaria um relacionamento com César Camargo Mariano, que duraria até 1981,
em uma das mais bem sucedidas parcerias da Música Popular Brasileira.
Cantou
muitos gêneros: da MPB,
passando pela bossa nova, pelo samba, pelo rock e pelo jazz. Interpretando
canções como Madalena, Águas de Março, Atrás da Porta, Como
Nossos Pais, O Bêbado e a Equilibrista, Querellas do Brasil, registrou momentos de
felicidade, amor, tristeza, patriotismo. Ao longo de toda sua carreira,
destacou-se por cantar também músicas de artistas, ainda, pouco conhecidos,
como Milton Nascimento, Ivan Lins,
Belchior, Renato
Teixeira, Aldir Blanc, João Bosco, ajudando a lançá-los e a divulgar
suas obras, impulsionando-os no cenário musical brasileiro. Entre outras
parcerias, são célebres os duetos que teve com Jair
Rodrigues, Tom Jobim e Rita Lee.
Com seu segundo marido, o pianista César Camargo Mariano, consagrou um longo trabalho
de grande criatividade e consistência musical. Sua presença artística mais
memorável talvez esteja registrada nos álbuns Em
Pleno Verão (1970), Elis (1972), Elis (1973), Elis
& Tom (1974), Elis (1974), Falso
Brilhante (1976), Transversal do Tempo (1978), Essa
Mulher (1979), Saudade do Brasil (1980) e Elis (1980). Foi a primeira pessoa a inscrever
a própria voz como se fosse um instrumento, na Ordem dos Músicos do Brasil. Em 2013,
foi eleita a melhor voz feminina da música brasileira pela Revista Rolling
Stone. Elis foi citada também na lista dos maiores artistas da música
brasileira, ficando na 14ª posição, sendo a mulher mais bem colocada. Em
novembro do mesmo ano estreou um musical em sua homenagem Elis, o musical.
Elis
Regina morreu precocemente aos 36 anos, no auge da carreira, causando forte
comoção no país e deixando uma vasta obra na música popular brasileira. Embora
tenham havido controvérsias e contestações quanto à causa da morte, os exames
comprovaram que a causa foi o consumo de cocaína associado
a bebida alcoólica, que provocou uma parada cardíaca.
Ela
é o nono álbum de estúdio da cantora Elis
Regina, gravado nos estúdios da Companhia Brasileira de Discos, no Rio de Janeiro e lançado em 1971
pela gravadora Philips Records.
Neste
álbum, encontram-se as faixas "Madalena" - composta por Ivan Lins e
Ronaldo Monteiro, que foi incluída na trilha sonora da novela A Próxima Atração e, também, na apresentação do Som
Livre Exportação, espetáculo promovido pela Rede Globo
-; "Cinema Olympia", composição de Caetano
Veloso; "Aviso aos Navegantes", de Baden Powell e Paulo César Pinheiro; e "Golden
Slumbers" de John Lennon e Paul
McCartney. Em 1971, Elis é acusada pelos agentes da ditadura militar de
envolvimento com os panteras negras, por causa da música "Black
is Beautiful", fato negado pela cantora.
Hoje cedo, na Rua do
Ouvidor
Quantos brancos

We love the children

Teaching the children
Oh na na anna

Black eye, black
hair, black skin
Black queen stand majestic with the black king
Today I'll sing you a black song, you need to hear about beautiful black
things 'cause
Most time we hear about black, we hear about black magic and black
witches
Black list, black book, black market
Black Friday, ya spend off your black riches
I've never seen a doctor in black nor seen a black pill fi cure no black
people
But I've seen bush doctors like Tosh and Marley resurrect like a real
black beatle
Malcom, Marcus, Martin
When you see Walter Rodney ask him
How you nuh hear about Howell often
So when the little offspring asking, tell them
They never told us
that black is beautiful
They never told us, black is beauty
They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, they never told us black is beautiful
You ah behave and ah
gwaan like you never spend 500 years pon a farm
The same chain you ah wear and a gwaan is another black life in Sierra
Leone
Dem find out mama earth got gold then
Dem mine out mama earth black soul then
You work hard just fi get ah black card
Same card weh you swipe buy back your black gold then
Hol' on, I see nuff faces long
But this is not a racist song
This is a song for the children who was never told about where their
race is from
They never hear it in dem favourite songs
Everybody calm, ah say slavery's done
What a go gwaan when the babies come
And start read 'bout things like
Dogons, black Kemet and Kush
Black kings, black senates and books
Weh teach 'bout pyramids and put
Real significance to we physical looks
So every word weh mi say black
In my world everything black
Black white, white black right back
So don't be surprised when mi say mi king black
They never told us

They never told us, black is beauty
They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, they never told us black is beautiful
Preacher is preaching
good God the things that he preaches
I wonder who taught him to preach
Teacher is teaching where did he get his degree
Now it is no mystery who taught us black history
Peace out.

When you're down and
troubled and you need some love and care,
And nothing, nothing is going right,
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,
And that old north wind begins to blow,
Keep your head toget-her and call my name out loud.
Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will.
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a
Friend when people can be so cold. They'll hurt you, yes, anddesert you
And, take your soul if you let them.
Oh, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
