Leblon 04:36
Morning sun speaks through the sky Wakes the city to a silver sea And above, the maresia Floating with the soul of living free Down in Leblon In the sun where we belong Shadows by the sea Natural sensuality Samba breezes blow And the impulse starts to flow Blending with the air That adventure in her stare And the heat reveals her to the night The naked moon in her eyes Ocean sand melts on her thigh Echoes reach the morning sky Down in Leblon In the sun where we belong Shadows by the sea Dripping sensuality Samba breezes blow And the impulse starts to flow Blending with the air That adventure in her stare Music and Lyrics: Adam Dunning © 2009 Sunset Club Music

Here it is, another day like this And our wishing that this golden sun, never goes And to live, to see to the end Of this wave that grew and came to rest at your toes And to look, to the sky that is so beautiful And to see, the stare in your eyes, taken by this clear blue sea. Another wave that was born Calmly falls smiling and free Of our sea Here it is, another day like this Our horizon that will never end, passes by The rising moon, comes to close the day It’s a camellia that is floating naked in the sky Lá se vai mais um dia assim, Nossa praia que não tem mais fim, acabou Vai subindo uma lua assim É a camélia que flutua nua no céu Music and Lyrics by Roberto Menescal & Ronaldo Bôscoli English version by Adam Dunning © Warner / Chappell

Sunset Monkeys Sitting on the wire High above the fire On the streets below Sunset Monkeys Singing that forgotten song Of one for another Living each day Burning skies all around Monkeys sing to their own sound Sunset Monkeys Sitting on the wire Living love in their own way Living each day Living each day Do they ever hear the cry Of a world that’s passing by Would they ever see the sun As it used to be Sunset Monkeys Brothers of a simple life Together and free And they’re just like you and me We see ourselves in those eyes Why don’t we see them when they cry? Sunset Monkeys Sitting on the wire Living love in their own way Living each day Together and free And they’re just like you and me Living, loving, playing each day Sunset Monkeys Sitting on the wire High above the fire On the streets below Sunset Monkeys Singing that forgotten song Of one for another Living each day Sunset Monkeys Sitting on the wire Living love in their own way Living each day How can they be Just like you and me Music and Lyrics by Adam Dunning © 2009 Sunset Club Music

Ah, Jungle Flower Virgin dream of morning light Veil of dew in the caresses of the night Breezes warmly kiss the jungle flora Ah, Jungle Flower With your inhibitions bare Butterflies in concert kissing in the air Your ember glows and shows the flare of your pleasure A curtain of these rare wings It flickers through the air Wreaths of fire Skirts embroidered rising up above the knee Stars of water sinking in the sheets of glory Of your nights of revelry in the moonlight Ah, flor do mato Sonho virgem da manhã Véu de orvalho em afagos de amor Brisa morna beija roça mato em flor Ah, flor do mato Sem recato dorso nu Borboletas em rodeio vêm beijar O teu seio veio vivo de prazer Cortina de asas raras Centelhas pelo ar São grinaldas São bordados saia acima do joelho São estrelas d’água no lençol do leito De tuas noites de orgia com o luar Music and Lyrics by Lysias Enio & João Donato.

Mount Eliza 05:09
Sun’s coming out in Melbourne town The morning air, the weekend sound It’s good to know There’s a little place down there We can make our love outside Who’s to care Home is my whispering mind The family is one of a kind October’s gone The heat’s in our hair Drinking lime and bitters On the beach chair Take me down to Mount Eliza Where the sun will be with you Take me down to Mount Eliza We’ll hit the beach ‘round about two Take me down to Mount Eliza And when the sun falls to the bay Sorrento breeze ends the day I play Jobim to you Under the eves You watch the lightening Dance with the trees Music and Lyrics by Adam Dunning © 2008 Sunset Club Music

Green 05:22
River flows from where nobody knows Forests call for the rains to fall Daisies blow in the summer snow We think oh what a beautiful show Blackened seams cross the river streams in the city of dreams Oh how I’d love to go House is clean and the garden looks green But can we see the green The reef is shrinking, Hawaii’s sinking Ghost nets that wander the sea we don’t see Sumatran forest for palm oil margarine The tiger, he was last seen leaving Amazonia, they sold its persona, Galapagos asking for time They say its all for you and me A beautiful world is not just on our TV screen We can see the green Music and lyrics by Adam Dunning © 2008 Sunset Club Music

Dawn will break across the sky Soon you will abandon me Forgiveness was much more Than you could ask of me I wanted to be fooled Now pain is all I feel Ah, madrugada já rompeu Você vai me abandonar Eu sinto que o perdão Você não mereceu Eu quis a ilusão Agora a dor sou eu Pobre de quem não entendeu Que a beleza de amar é se dar E só querendo pedir Nunca soube o que é perder pra encontrar I know Dawn will break across the sky Soon you will abandon me Forgiveness was much more Than you could ask of me I wanted to be fooled Now pain is all feel Eu sei Que é preciso perdoar Foi você quem me ensinou Que um homem como eu Que tem por que chorar Só sabe o que é sofrer Se o pranto se acabar Music and lyrics by Carlos Coqueijo & Alcivando Luz © Todamerica (ADDAF)

Let them call for me And let them all reach out for me And let them brawl and shout and swear Or cut me out, that I don’t care What if they invite To all those parties by moonlight And all those shows I don’t want to know How fair or square if I don’t go And let them also call me vile For they can cry, and they can smile Or let them send me to exile And think whatever it may be Let them spread the word That I’ve just had it with this world And it’s a shame For those who claim that I was free I am all for you and me Podem me chamar E me pedir e me rogar E podem mesmo falar mal Ficar de mal que não faz mal Podem preparar Milhões de festas ao luar Eu não vou ir Melhor nem pedir Eu não vou ir, não quero ir E também podem me entregar Até sorrir, até chorar E podem mesmo imaginar O que melhor lhes parecer Podem espalhar Que eu estou cansado de viver E que é uma pena Para quem me conheceu Eu sou mais você e eu Music and Lyrics by Carlos Lyra & Vinicius de Moraes English version by Carlos Lyra © MCK / Tonga (Universal Publishing MGB)

I feel A citrus wind Drifting in This dawn I breathe Those summer things Your tanned skin Fresh lawn Skies so clear Whisper you in my ear Waters blue Smiling with all of you Hearts and hands Truth hiding in the sands The summer’s made of you I see A sprinkler spray The lazy shade We two I taste Fruits of the sea Sea salt on me On you I feel Those summer things Late changing winds So warm And then I yawn And I hear The crickets sing A wind chime The storm And rains beginning ‘Til the summer shines again I’ll be fine Music and lyrics by Ronaldo Cotrim and Adam Dunning © Day 1 Ent.

You and I we two Alone here on this terrace by the sea The sun is going down and in your eyes I see the changing colors of the sea It’s time for you to go the day is done And shadows stretch their arms to bring the night The sun falls in the sea and down below A window light we see Just you and me Eu, você, nós dois Aqui neste terraço à beira-mar O sol já vai caindo e o seu olhar Parece acompanhar a cor do mar Você tem que ir embora A tarde cai Em cores se desfaz Escureceu O sol caiu no mar E a primeira luz lá embaixo se acendeu Você e eu You and I we two Alone here in this bar with dimming lights A full and rising moon comes from the sea And soon the bar will close for you and me But there will always be a song to tell The story you and I cannot dismiss That same old simple story of desire And suddenly that kiss That kiss, that kiss Eu, você, nós dois Sozinhos neste bar à meia-luz E uma grande lua saiu do mar Parece que este bar já vai fechar E há sempre uma canção para contar Aquela velha história de um desejo Que todas as canções têm pra contar E veio aquele beijo Aquele beijo, aquele beijo Music and lyrics by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The time of year is here again Raise your glass for tomorrow A year of fun and getting on Hold the joy, throw the sorrow A city of sun to see the day We walk the dog, you walk my shoulder The sound of samba echoes near We’re just children of the world, playing here Flying through the year With a smile, without fear Parabens ao meu amigo Parabens meu amigo Parabens ao meu amigo Parabens meu amigo The waves around you can be heard Friends of time and of season So we want to say with birthday cheer We’re your friends, we’ll always be here Flying through the year With a smile, without fear That time has come today Music and lyrics by Adam Dunning © 2008 Sunset Club Music

With You 04:12
When I’m with you, oceans are calm The sky is always clear Problems that once seemed too much to bear Suddenly disappear When I’m with you knots I have tied Suddenly come undone Worries I once had now make me smile Life is a lot more fun Poverty and crime, religious strife They’re just some silly mistakes I know that we can correct them all This is difference love makes When I’m with you stars are aligned I finally understand Everything works out for the best Just as it has been planned Junto a você, o mar é tão calmo O céu é sempre azul Toda chatice fica pra trás A vida segue em paz Junto a você, os nós que atei Já não apertam mais Minhas angústias ficam pra trás A vida se refaz Aquecimento global, degelo polar São ocorrências banais Eu sei que o tempo já vai melhorar Isso é o que amor faz Junto a você, o sol vai brilhar E eu posso entender Tudo caminha pro seu melhor Como havia de ser Music and lyrics by Ronaldo Cotrim & Matthew VanFossan © Day 1 Ent.
