Eu nem sonhava

Te amar desse jeito

Hoje nasceu novo sol

No meu peito

 

Quero acordar

Te sentindo ao meu lado

Viver o êxtase de ser amado

Espero que a música

Que eu canto agora

Possa expressar

O meu súbito amor

 

Com sua ajuda

Tranqüila e serena

Vou aprendendo

Que amar vale a pena

 

Que essa amizade

É tão gratificante

Que esse diálogo

É muito importante

 

Espero que a música

Que eu canto agora

Possa expressar

O meu súbito amor

 

Eu nem sonhava

Te amar desse jeito.

Calling out, calling out

Have you ever wondered

Why I'm always alone when you're in my dreams

Calling out, calling out

Have you ever wondered

What we could have been if you'd only let me in

 

I want you, but I want you to understand

I need you I love you

 

Didn't want to leave you with the wrong impression

Didn't want to leave you with my last confession,

Yeah, of love

Wasn't tryin' to pull you in the wrong direction

All I want to do is try to make a connection yeah

 

Fallng out, fallin' out

Have you ever wondered, if this was ever more

Than a crazy idea

Falling out, falling out

Have you ever wondered

 

I want you, but I want you to understand

I need I love you

 

Didn't want to leave you with the wrong impression

Didn't want to leave you with my last confession,

Yeah, of love

Wasn't tryin' to pull you in the wrong direction

All I want to do is try to make a connection yeah.

WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO

WHITNEY HOUSTON

SONGWRITERS: CHUCK JACKSON & FRANK N. WILDHOM

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: WHITNEY

LABEL: ARISTA RECORDS

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 1987

 

       Whitney Elizabeth Houston(August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. She is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide. Houston is also one of the most awarded artists in history. Known for her powerful and soulful vocals, she has influenced many other singers. Houston is the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from "Saving All My Love for You" in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988.

           Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen magazine after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. She became the first female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with her second studio album. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA). The album yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: the title track "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need".(…)

          "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" is the fourth single from Whitney Houston's second album, Whitney. The ballad was released on February 25, 1988. The song was written by Frank Wildhorn and Chuck Jackson and produced by Narada Michael Walden. Due to Wildhorn's previous working relationship with Arista Records CEO Clive Davis, he had been approached about potentially writing for Houston. He contacted Jackson, who came up with the title, after which Wildhorn completed the music and lyrics for the song. Smokey Robinson originally wanted to record the song; however, Wildhorn and Jackson held the song for Houston.

       Initially, Houston did not want to record the song, feeling there was no special message to convey. In a 2000 interview, Houston reminisced that she "hated the song". However, Davis believed the song would go to number one if she recorded it, so she agreed. It indeed became a number one, Houston's seventh consecutive number-one single in the United States—a record for consecutive number-one singles that still stands to this day.

          Houston remained perplexed by the song and its lyrics. Wildhorn later recalled that Houston sent him a letter essentially asking: "Where do broken hearts go? I have no idea."

I know it's been some time

But there's something on my mind

You see, I haven't been the same

Since that cold November day

We said we needed space

But all we found was an empty place

And the only things I learned

Is that I need you desperately

 

So here I am

And can you please tell me, oh

 

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

Of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care, for me

 

I've been around enough to know

That dreams don't turn to gold

And that there is no easy way

No you just can't run away

And what we have is so much more

Than we ever had before

And no matter how I try

You're always on my mind

 

So here I am

And can you please tell me, oh

 

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

Of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care for me

 

And now that I am here with you

I'll never let you go

I look into your eyes

And now I know, now I know

 

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

Of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care

 

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

Of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care for me, for me

You still care for me.

On n'a pas pris la peine de s'rassembler un peu

Avant que le temps prenne nos envies et nos vœux

Les images, les querelles du passé rancunier

Ont forgé nos armures, nos cœurs se sont scellés

 

Rester seul dans son coin, nos démons animés

Perdus dans nos dessins sans couleur, gris foncé

On aurait pu choisir le pardon, essayer

Une autre histoire d'avenir que de vouloir oublier

 

Prenons-nous la main le long de la route

Choisissons nos destins sans plus aucun doute

J'ai foi et ce n'est rien

Qu'une question d'écoute d'ouvrir grand nos petites mains

Coûte que coûte

 

On n'a pas pris la peine de se parler de nous

Nos fiertés tout devant sans pouvoir s'mettre à genoux

Dans nos yeux transparents, le mensonge sur nos dents

Impossible de le nier, tout le corps l'révélait

 

Prenons-nous la main le long de la route

Choisissons nos destins sans plus aucun doute

J'ai foi et ce n'est rien

Qu'une question d'écoute d'ouvrir grand nos petites mains

Coûte que coûte

 

Prenons-nous la main le long de la route

Laisser vivre la vie, glisser sans retenir

 

Mais les mots ne sont que des mots

Pas les plus importants

On y met nos sens propres

Qui changent au gré des gens

 

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

À se cacher d'soi-même

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

Car l'autre n'est que l'reflet de c'qu'on s'met à couvert

 

Si nos schémas ancrés veulent bien n'pas nous figer

C'est le début de nos rêves qui tendent à se confirmer

 

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

À se cacher d'soi-même

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

Car l'autre n'est que l'reflet de c'qu'on s'met à couvert

 

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

À se cacher d'soi-même

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con

C'est con ce qu'on peut être con.
