        Shawn Peter Raul Mendes (/ˈmɛndɛz/; born August 8, 1998) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. He gained a following in 2013, posting song covers on the video-sharing application Vine. The following year, he caught the attention of artist manager Andrew Gertler and Island Records A&R Ziggy Chareton, which led to him signing a deal with the record label. Mendes's self-titled debut EP was released in 2014, followed by his debut studio album Handwritten in 2015. Handwritten debuted atop the US Billboard 200, making Mendes one of five artists ever to debut at number one before the age of 18. The single "Stitches" reached number one in the UK and the top 10 in the US and Canada.

          His second studio álbum Illuminate (2016) also debuted at number one in the US, with its singles "Treat You Better" and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" reaching the top 10 in several countries. His self-titled third studio album (2018) was supported by the lead single "In My Blood". The album's number one debut in the US made Mendes the third-youngest artist to achieve three number one albums. In 2019, he released the hit singles "If I Can't Have You" and "Señorita", with the latter peaking atop the US Billboard Hot 100. In December 2020, Mendes became the youngest male artist ever to top the Billboard 200 with four studio albums.

          Among his accolades, Mendes has won 13 SOCAN awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards, eight Juno Awards, eight iHeartRadio MMVAs, two American Music Awards, and received three Grammy Award nominations. In 2018, Time named Mendes as one of the 100 most influential people in the world on their annual list.

        Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao (/kəˈmiːlə kəˈbeɪoʊ/; Spanish: [kaˈmila kaˈβeʎo]; born March 3, 1997) is a Cuban-American singer and songwriter. She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed on The X Factor USA in 2012, signing a joint record deal with Syco Music and Epic Records. While in Fifth Harmony, Cabello began to establish herself as a solo artist with the release of the collaborations "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Shawn Mendes, and "Bad Things" with Machine Gun Kelly, the latter reaching number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. After leaving the group in late 2016, Cabello released several other collaborations, including "Hey Ma" with Pitbull and J Balvin for The Fate of the Furious soundtrack (2017), and her debut solo single "Crying in the Club".

       Cabello's debut studio album, Camila (2018), reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The Latin music-influenced pop album was critically well-received, and received a Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its lead single "Havana" topped the charts in several countries including the US and UK, and follow-up single "Never Be the Same" reached the top ten in multiple countries. Cabello's 2019 duet with Mendes, "Señorita", became her second single to top the Billboard Hot 100. Her second studio album, Romance (2019), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 chart and number one in Canada. Cabello is set to star in an upcoming film adaptation of Cinderella (2021), for Sony Pictures.

        Cabello has amassed billions of streams on music platforms. She had the best-selling digital single of 2018, according to International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Cabello has won many awards throughout her career, including two Latin Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, and one Billboard Music Award. She has also received three Grammy Award nominations.

          "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is a song by Canadian singer Shawn Mendes and Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello. The song serves as Cabello's debut single as a solo artist and was released as the lead single from the reissue of Mendes' debut studio album, Handwritten Revisited (2015), via Island Records on November 18, 2015. It reached the top 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and on the Canadian Hot 100. Mendes and Cabello promoted the song with several televised performances, including on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and at the 2016 People's Choice Awards. Mendes and Cabello later collaborated on "Señorita" in June 2019.

Ah-ah, he-ey

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, he-ey

Ah-ah, ah-ah

 

He knows

Dirty secrets that I keep

Does he know it's killing me?

He knows, he knows

D-d-does he know?

Another's hands have touched my skin

I won't tell him where I've been

He knows, he knows, he knows

 

It's tearing me apart

She's slipping away (I'm slipping away)

Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say?

The pictures on her phone

She's not coming home (I'm not coming home)

Coming home, coming home

 

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Just lied to me: There's no other (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Look me in the eyes, my lover (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

 

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know (he-ey)

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I didn't mean it, no (ah-ah), I didn't mean it, mean it, no (he-ey)

Can't seem to let you go, can't seem to hold you close (ah-ah, ah-ah)

I know

 

When she looks me in the eyes

They don't seem as bright no more, no more, I know

That she loved me at one time

Would I promise her that night

Cross my heart and hope to die

 

It's tearing me apart (it's tearing me apart)

She's slipping away (I'm slipping away)

Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say?

The pictures on her phone (the pictures on my phone)

She's not coming home (I'm not coming home)

Oh, na, na, na, yeah

 

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Just lied to me: There's no other (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Look me in the eyes, my lover (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

 

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know (no, no)

Can't seem to let you go

Can't seem to keep you close (hold me close)

I can't seem to let you go

Can't seem to keep you close (you know I didn't mean it, though)

 

Tell me where you've been lately

Tell me where you've been lately (just hold me close)

Tell me where you've been lately

Tell me where you've been lately (don't, don't, don't, don't let me go)

Can't seem to keep you close

I can't seem to let you go (I didn't mean it, though)

I know you didn't mean it, though

I know you didn't mean it, though (I don't wanna let you go)

 

Tell me you didn't mean it, though

Tell me you didn't mean it, though (no, no, no)

(Can't seem to let you go, seem to let you go)

I know you didn't mean it, though

I wanna know you mean it, though (hold me close)

I know you didn't mean it, though

I know you didn't mean it, though (just hold me close)

I can't seem to let you go, can't seem to hold you close

 

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Just lied to me: There's no other (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Look me in the eyes, my lover (he-ey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

 

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know (he-ey)

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know (he-ey)

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)

I know.

I see the questions in your eyes

I know what's weighing on your mind

But you can be sure i know my part

Cuz i'll stand beside you through the years

You'll only cry those happy tears

And though i'll make mistakes,

I'll never break your heart

 

Chorus

I swear

By the moon and the stars in the sky

I'll be there

I swear

Like the shadow that's by your side

I'll be there

For better or worse

Til death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart

I swear

 

I'll give you everything i can

I'll build your dreams with these two hands

We'll hang some memories on the wall

And when there's silver in your hair

You won't have to ask if i still care

Cuz as time turns the page

My love won't age at all

 

Chorus x2

I swear.

          Balduína de Oliveira Sayão, mais conhecida como Bidu Sayão, (Itaguaí, 11 de maio de 1902 — Rockport, Maine, 12 de março de 1999) foi uma célebre intérprete lírica brasileira. Considerada uma das maiores estrelas da ópera de todos os tempos, foi uma das maiores intérpretes do Brasil.

          Filha de Pedro Luiz de Oliveira Sayão e de Maria José da Costa Oliveira Sayão, Bidu Sayão começou estudando canto com Elena Theodorini, uma romena que então vivia no Brasil. Elena a levou para a Romênia, onde continuou seus estudos. Mais tarde, foi para Nice, na França, onde foi aluna de Jean de Reszke, um tenor polonês que a ajudou a consolidar sua técnica vocal. Bidu estreou em 1926 no Teatro Costanzi de Roma, no papel de Rosina em O Barbeiro de Sevilha, de Rossini. Sua estreia no Metropolitan Opera House de Nova Iorque se deu em 1937 no papel de Manon na ópera de Massenet.

       Foi parte do elenco do Metropolitan durante muitos anos. Arturo Toscanini era seu admirador, referindo-se a ela como la piccola brasiliana (traduzido do italiano, significa "a pequena brasileira"). Em fevereiro de 1938, cantou para o casal Roosevelt na Casa Branca. Roosevelt lhe ofereceu a cidadania estadunidense, mas ela recusou. De acordo com ela mesma, "no Brasil eu nasci e no Brasil morrerei". Entretanto, ela morreu de pneumonia nos Estados Unidos em 1999, antes de completar 97 anos, sem realizar um de seus desejos: rever a Baía de Guanabara.

Naquela tarde de inverno sombria

Ao te deixar, deixar pra sempre abandonada

N'alma eu senti, eu senti uma saudade fria

Mais que saudade e dor, mais que dor, ó bem amada!

 

Juventude, sonhos meus

Ilusões, crenças, amores

Sim a tudo, a tudo eu disse adeus

Eu disse adeus, adeus

Ao te deixar por entre flores

 

Ao te deixar, a tudo eu disse adeus

Crenças, amores, sonhos, sonhos meus

 

Eras tão pobre, modesta e tão pequena

Mas eras rica, rica de amor e de mocidade

Em teu regaço a vida, a vida era serena

Quanta lembrança! Oh sim, quanta, quanta saudade!

 

Juventude sonhos meus

Ilusões, crenças, amores

Sim a tudo eu disse adeus, adeus

Ao te deixar por entre flores!

 

Ao te deixar, a tudo eu disse adeus

Crenças amores, sonhos, sonhos meus

Adeus

Adeus

Sonhos, adeus!

       Francisca Edwiges Neves Gonzaga, mais conhecida como Chiquinha Gonzaga (Rio de Janeiro, 17 de outubro de 1847 — Rio de Janeiro, 28 de fevereiro de 1935) foi uma compositora, instrumentista e maestrina brasileira.

     Foi a primeira pianista chorona (musicista de choro), autora da primeira marcha carnavalesca com letra ("Ó Abre Alas", 1899) e também a primeira mulher a reger uma orquestra no Brasil.

       No Passeio Público do Rio de Janeiro há uma herma em sua homenagem, obra do escultor Honório Peçanha. Em maio de 2012 foi sancionada a Lei 12 624, que instituiu o Dia da Música Popular Brasileira, comemorado no dia de seu aniversário.

    Era filha da união de José Basileu Gonzaga, marechal de campo do Exército Imperial Brasileiro e de Rosa Maria Neves de Lima, filha de escrava alforriada. Contrariando a família, José Basileu casou-se com Rosa Maria após o nascimento de Francisca.

     Chiquinha Gonzaga cresceu em uma família de pretensões aristocráticas (afilhada de Luís Alves de L. e Silva, Duque de Caxias) e conviveu bastante com a rígida família paterna.

        Fez seus estudos normais com o cônego Trindade, um professor de referência, e musicais no piano com o Maestro Elias Álvares Lobo.

     Desde cedo, frequentava rodas de lundu, umbigada e outros ritmos oriundos da África. Aos 11 anos escreve sua primeira composição, a canção natalina Canção dos Pastores.

Oh, lua branca de fulgores e de encanto,

Se é verdade que ao amor tu dás abrigo,

Vem tirar dos olhos meus, o pranto,

Ai, vem matar essa paixão que anda comigo.

 

Ai, por quem és, desce do céu, ó lua branca,

Essa amargura do meu peito, ó vem, arranca,

Dá-me o luar de tua compaixão,

Oh, vem, por Deus, iluminar meu coração.

 

E quantas vezes, lá no céu, me aparecias,

A brilhar em noite calma e constelada.

Em tua luz então me surpreendias

Ajoelhado junto aos pés da minha amada.

 

E a chorar, a soluçar, cheia de pejo,

Vinha em seus lábios me ofertar um doce beijo.

Ela partiu, me abandonou assim,

Oh, lua branca, por quem és, tem dó de mim!
