outside 'n inside

On the outside I'm RED...

...

On my silky hair,

On my sweet lips,

On my hot 'n spicy attitude.

On the inside there’s only BLACK velvet...

...

Smooth but dark,

Inviting but warning,

Comfortable but too heavy.

Carta

Quero abrir a caixa do correio... Lá dentro quero encontrar uma carta tua que vou pegar com todo o meu carinho... Calmamente apressar-me-ei a abri-la... Fico à espera de encontrar lá dentro a partilha do dia a dia polvilhada de vontade de me teres tido lá contigo... Deixar-me-ei levar pelas palavras que me possas escrever com todas as cores da tua alma, em papéis que transpiram saudades... Essas cartas far-me-ão sorrir independentemente de mim... Dentro delas espero encontrar o cheiro a mar que me transporta para a tua praia e me bronzeia a pele... Dentro delas espero encontrar o cheiro a relva que me leva para o teu jardim e me cobre de flores... Dentro delas espero encontrar a visão de almas partilhadas que me faz adormecer da vida e acordar num outro mundo... Dentro delas virá a esperança, a força de vontade, a fantasia, o sorriso…... Cada carta tua estará, de certeza, carregada de coisas boas que farão brilhar o meu dia...

Por isso, mal estejas fisicamente longe de mim, escreve-me uma carta.

 

"real girl" by Mutya Buena

If I had one chance to

In my life again

I wouldn't make no changes

Now or way back when (yeah)

And if everything turns out

The way I hope it goes

But I cant wait to find out

What it is that God knows

But I don't wanna think about

What's gonna come around for me

I'll just take it day by day

'Cause it's the only way

To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not

You get what you see, when you see what I've got

We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl

I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself

I don't need permission from nobody else

'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl

I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect

There's no guarantee

And if I knew the answers

It would put my mind at ease (no)

So I'll just keep on going

The way I've gone so far

And maybe I'll end up

Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah)

But I don't wanna think about

What's gonna come around for me

I'll just take it day by day

'Cause it's the only way

To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not

You get what you see, when you see what I've got

We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl

I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself

I don't need permission from nobody else

'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl

I know exactly who I am

Baby this is who I am

Don't need you to understand

'Cause everything is right where it should be

It wont be long til you know about me,

'Cause I don't give a...

Even when I'm out of love

'Cause everythings just how it should be

And it wont be long till you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not

You get what you see, when you see what I've got

We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl

I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself

I don't need permission from nobody else

'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl

I know exactly who I am
