Na na na naaaaa
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaa
 
Hoy me siento entre nubes, creo que voy a estallar
Y me enredo con las horas, ya no se si llegaras
Al volver la vista te haces acercas ya
 
Mi cuerpo se estremece al verte caminar
Radiante noche en mi piel
mi corazon se agita, vuelvo a renacer
 
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El momento es nuestro y no termina
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que la vida es ritmo, es alegría
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El estar contigo me hace libre
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que el amor es nuestro y no termina
 
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaa
 
De regreso, voy contenta, tengo ganas de gritar
Si tu quieres, debo verte, no más me dices y ya
Y comenzo -- en la oscuridad
La energia en nuestro cuerpo nunca parara
Este es el ritmo, el que me hace vibrar
Y aunque quisiera detenerme no puedo parar
 
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El momento es nuestro y no termina
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que la vida es ritmo, es alegría
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El estar contigo me hace libre
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que el amor es nuestro y no termina
 
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El momento es nuestro y no termina
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que la vida es ritmo, es alegría
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar
El estar contigo me hace libre
Esta noche voy contigo a soñar
Que el amor es nuestro y no termina.

      Whoa, Nelly! is the debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. It was released in North America on October 24, 2000, by DreamWorks Records. Recording sessions for the album took place from 1999 to 2000. It peaked at number twenty-four on the US Billboard 200 chart, and opened to critical acclaim. It produced three international singles: "I'm Like a Bird", "Turn Off the Light" and "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)". "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was a club-only single released exclusively in the US before the album's availability in stores, and it was included on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Brokedown Palace. When "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was released, Furtado's label was unsure about the genre in which to market her. They eventually remixed "Party's Just Begun (Again)" and included it on this album as "Party". The DreamWorks label released "Trynna Finda Way" as the fourth single in Mexico and South America, and "Hey, Man!" as the fourth single in the UK and Germany. The album spent seventy-eight weeks on the Billboard 200. It hit double-platinum status in the US in January 2002.
    After the release of the album, Furtado headlined the Burn in the Spotlight Tour and appeared on Moby's Area:One tour. According to Maclean's magazine, Whoa, Nelly! has sold 5-6 million copies Worldwide as of 2006. The album also caught the eye of record producer Timbaland, who later signed Furtado to his record label. 
You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never, ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
 
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
 
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years end
And it pains me so much to tell that you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
 
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away (fly away)
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
 
It's not that I wanna' say goodbye
It's just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me, oh
Each and every single day
I know I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare, rare, rare
And though my love is true, yeah
I'm just scared that we may fall through
 
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
 
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home
 
And baby, all I need for you to know isI'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
 
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
 
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is.

I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you, I'll always return, yeah
 
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover, a feeling so strong
Oh, it's to you, I'll always belong
 
Now I know it's true, yeah
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness, darling
Your light gets me through
 
Wanna swim in your river
Be warm by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one
 
I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
Yes, I'm on my way home
I'm on my way
 
Oh, I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you I will always return
 
Wanna swim in your river
Be warm by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one
 
I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
'Cause I'm on my way home
 
Oh, I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Yeah, I'm on way, I will always return
Yes, I will always return
 
I've seen every sunset
And with all that I've learned, oh
It's to you I will always, always return.

      Frédéric François(born Francesco Barracato; 3 June 1950 in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, Italy), is a French-speaking singer-composer living in Belgium.
        Born on 3 June 1950 in Lercara Friddi in Sicily, in a very modest Italian family, he is the second child of Antonina (Nina) Salemi and Giuseppe (Peppino) Barracato. His mother was a seamstress in Lercara and his father was initially a miner in a sulphur mine in Lercara. He emigrated to Belgium in the coal basin of Liège, where he signed a three-year contract as a miner. In 1951, Nina and her two sons joined Giuseppe in Tilleur in a Red Cross Convoy. Francesco Barracato grew up in a family of eight children. Peppino used to sing Neapolitan songs and opera arias for pleasure and accompanied himself on the guitar. Young Francesco was only 10 when he sang O Sole Mio for the first time in public in a café frequented mostly by Sicilians in Tilleur, "Le Passage à Niveau" 
Laisse-Moi Vivre Ma Vie,
Non, je ne regrette rien,
Je ne veux plus être celui,
Qui ne connaît que des chagrins,
Laisse-Moi Vivre Ma Vie,
Si tu m'aimes encore un peu,
Fermes ta porte cette nuit,
Ça vaut mieux pour tous les deux.
Comme tu as changé,
Tu n'est plus la petite fille,
Que j'ai tant aimé,
Et que je trouvais si gentille,
Que de temps perdu
Depuis que nous vivons ensembles,
Pourtant au début,
Tu me disais comme on se ressemble.
Laisse-Moi Vivre Ma Vie,
Et redevenir un homme,
Je ne sais plus où j'en suis,
Je ne connais plus personne.
Comme tu as changé,
Tu n'est plus la petite fille,
Que j'ai tant aimé,
Et que je trouvais si gentille,
Que de temps perdu
Depuis que nous vivons ensembles,
Pourtant au début,
Tu me disais comme on se ressemble.
Laisse-Moi Vivre Ma Vie,
Ne me retiens surtout pas,
Si je reste encore une nuit,
Je n'aurais plus confiance en moi.
