José Afonso (02/08/1929 - 23/02/1987)

       A falta que fazes ao espírito deste mundo, a falta que fazes ao nosso povo, a falta que fazes 25 anos depois de teres partido. Continuas vivo em cada um de nós, dentro de cada amante e defensor da justiça, da liberdade e da fraternidade humana. Serás para sempre único e insubstituível, Zeca...

      Ton absence fait défaut à l'esprit de ce monde, elle fait défaut à notre peuple, elle fait défaut depuis 25 ans que tu es parti. Mais tu es toujours bien vivant en chacun de nous, en chaque amant et défenseur de la justice, de la liberté et la fraternité humaine. Pour toujours unique et irremplaçable, Zeca...

John Lennon - Working Class Hero
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
