              Teófilo Chantre (Ilha de São Nicolau, 1964) é um músico e compositor caboverdiano.
             Quando Teófilo Chantre tinha treze anos, a sua família partiu de Cabo Verde para Paris. Esta distância da sua terra nativa serviu de inspiração e despertou a sua criatividade, tendo começado a compor, durante a sua adolescência, canções inspiradas nas mornas e coladeiras da sua terra.
      Ao longo da sua vida foi também muito influenciado pela restante música lusófona, a brasileira em particular. A sua reputação como cantor e compositor foi aumentando até ao ponto de Cesária Évora ter gravado três canções suas no seu disco Miss Perfumado, que fez dela uma estrela internacional.
      Tendo continuado a compor para outros intérpretes, Chantre consolidou, entretanto a sua posição enquanto intérprete e gravou diversos discos, entre os quais Di Alma e Viaja.
      Em concerto interpreta as suas canções sobretudo acusticamente, com acordeão, baixo, guitarra, cavaquinho e bateria.
Bem nh'amor p'ês nôs segredu
Na luar nô bem sen medo
 
Juntá nôs corpe, juntá nôs alma
Ntregá na doçura dess paixão fogosa
Dum só moment fazê um eternidad
Na clandestinidad governá nôs mundo
 
Na soberania di nôs sentimento
Na legalidad di nôs coraçon
Bem nha amor, ca tem degredo
Ca tem mar q'ta podê separa-nu.

Ni la pluie, ni le vent, ni la mer
N'effaceront jamais nos pas
Car ils sont gravés dans ma chair
Tous ces bonheurs qu'on ne dit pas
 
La nuit où j'ai enfin osé
M'approcher juste un peu de toi
Un jour, ton visage apaisé
Un premier enfant dans les bras
 
Quand je vois sa sceur ou ses filles
Marcher sur le sable pieds nus
Je te regarde et j'ai envie
Que le spectacle continue
 
Les lendemains de carnaval
L'accordéon, les confettis
Les parfums reviennent en rafale
Et dans la tête et dans la ville
 
Les lendemains de carnaval
Les baisers pris, les corps frôlés
Partent avec l'amour en cavale
Vers d'autres fêtes où défiler
 
Il y'aura toujours un après
Ce sera l'or de ma vieillesse
De penser aux miens qui s'aimaient
Longtemps, bien avant que je naisse
 
Puisqu'on est passagers sur terre
Ce voyage avec toi je veux
Le vivre encore et je suis fier
Du spectacle au fond de nos yeux.

LOVER’S CROSS

JIM CROCE

LABEL: PLATINUM
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1985
 
        Jim Croce was an American singer-songwriter with five studio albums and 12 singles to his credit. His posthumously-released fifth studio album was completed just prior to his 1973 death, and seven singles were also posthumously issued, one of which was "Time in a Bottle" from a previous album You Don't Mess Around with Jim. His popularity continued long after his death with the release of numerous compilation albums and "new" material (from the vaults) being portioned out sporadically over the years. Three live albums, as well as a live DVD, have also been published.
       Croce's first two studio albums Facets and Croce (aka Jim & Ingrid Croce) did not chart, but his third, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following his death. This album featured three singles, "You Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)", and "Time in a Bottle". His fourth álbum Life and Times peaked at No. 2 in the United States, but reached No. 1 in Canada in late December 1973. It featured the singles "One Less Set of Footsteps", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", and "It Doesn't Have to Be That Way".
          "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" achieved great success, reaching the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100. "Time in a Bottle" went from a relatively unknown album cut to a posthumous No. 1 after the boost it received from being featured in the ABC TV-movie She Lives. His fifth album, I Got a Name, was released in December 1973 and reached the No. 2 position in both the United States and Canada. This album would feature the title song "I Got a Name", "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song", and "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues". The song, "I Got a Name" had been released as a single during Croce's lifetime, but "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" became a posthumous number one release when it reached the top position on Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles in 1974.
          Several compilation albums such as Down the Highway and The Faces I've Been were released in the mid 1970s, the latter containing unissued and demo recordings from an unreleased album. Two songs from "The Faces I've Been" were released as singles, "Chain Gang Medley" and "Mississippi Lady". They would be his final singles released. Another compilation album, Photographs & Memories became a successful release by reaching No. 1 on the Canadian charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It also achieved a platinum certification in the United States, and a Gold certification in Hong Kong.
          Even after his death, his popularity continued and a demand for unreleased material caused a live album to be released, Jim Croce Live: The Final Tour. It was recorded during the summer of 1973. More demo recordings were released in 2003 on the álbum Home Recordings: Americana. A DVD featuring live concert footage was also released in 2003, Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live which later spawned a CD featuring the audio from the concert footage.
Guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
But now I've come to my decision
And it's a-one of the painful kind
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
 
Yes, I really got to hand it to you
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
 
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same
So I'll hope that you can find
Another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
 
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same
 
So I'll hope that you can find
Another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.
