"Saudade" written by Erik Taira

Lyrics (Brazilian Portuguese): 

Saudade de alguém que o tempo levou
Saudade da rua que a gente morou
Saudade que bate e explode no peito
Amar nos faz sentir

Saudade dos anos da velha infância
Saudades são doces e eternas lembranças
Saudade transborda e escorrega nos olhos
E vem e vai pra ser

Centelha que acende a forma de viver
Pedaço de amor que jamais vai perecer
Sopro da eternidade
Sentir saudade
Sentir saudade

Saudade dos planos que deixamos pra trás
Saudade de amigos que já não vemos mais
Saudade retorna depois de adormecer
Lembrar nos faz sentir

Saudade dos risos que demos na vida
De qualquer novidade que dê frio na barriga
Viver o presente pra colecionar 
Momentos pra sentir saudade

O sabor da simplicidade
O sorriso da ingenuidade
O saltar de felicidade 
O semblante da humanidade.

Saudade

"Pareidolia" written by Erik Taira

Lying on my back with my knees raised I can stare
At hundred shapes long miles away 
I could stay here for a whole day
Will you believe me if I say?

Somehow it feels I stopped the time
Just keep on drawing random lines, forms and shades up in the skies
I’ll try to describe what’s in my mind 
It may be just in my mind

My eyes under a spell
In every parallel line, it does ring a bell 
A bunch of childhood memories, my universe of possibilities 
I am searching for the one that I can be

Can you see it?
A snow goose diving on the shore
Its flock won’t let her fly alone
The leaves of clouds are passing by
The aboveworld’s being written in the sky

A snowman surfing on the wind 
Wood butterflies spreading out its wings
Spaceships are passing by
Don’t call me now ‘cause I am about to fly

Sunset shimmering light
Shells, fishes, feathers
Frames, faces, traces
Then I’m feeling free

Now do you see it?
A snow goose diving on the shore
Its flock won’t let her fly alone
The leaves of clouds are passing by
Don’t stop me now, cause I'm about to find

A simple man surfing on the wind 
Wood butterflies spreading out its wings
The clouds are dancing in the skies 
It's a quarter to nine

Behold the sun saying goodbye
Behold the sun saying goodbye
Behold the sun saying goodbye
Behold the sun saying goodbye.

Pareidolia

"All Your Anythings" written by Erik Taira

Lyrics: 

She thought there was nothing after a one night stand
But she changed her mind and now she holds my hands
She leaves wet towels on the bed
But she attracts me every time she plays with her hair

She often forgets to wash the dishes
But she works like hell for her longed-for wishes
She takes ages to get dressed when we go out at night 
But she looks like a Queen when she toasts and drinks wine

From the blaze of your hazel eyes
To the scent of your perfume traces
I let myself dive and drown
Till your decimal places

From the softness of your gentle voice
To every inch of your skin
I let myself dive and drown
In your possible anythings

She gets a bit mad when I call her “my dear”
But she gives me goosehumps while she whispers in my ear
She is the stubborn one when we need to reconcile 
But nothing feels better than her trucing closed-lip smile

She sometimes forgets to lock the door 
But she looks in my eyes as she reads my soul
She makes loud yawning sounds while waking up
But she melts all my heart when we’re making love

Through our ups and downs
I’ll dive and drown
In your ever-loving anythings
By your side 
over the rest ot my lifetime.

All Your Anythings

"Haven of My Heart" written by Erik Taira

Lyrics:

Sometimes life has a bitter taste
My haunting ghosts don’t slip away at all
I know there's no time to waste
I’m finally done running away
It’s high time to get real and face

Doubts and fears (overcome)
No anxiety (I’ll have fun)
I’ll live before my time is gone
Cause in the end we’ll be dust and bones
All alone…

How am I gonna find the haven of my heart?
If I can only start from scratch of pieces
This is not about following expectations
If I am true to myself
Well, I don’t need to be someone else

I had this meeting with the Past
He said: “there’s nothing to regret, so move on”
Out of the blue Forever shows up next
Said out loud: “live once like it was last”
I will expect nothing but enjoy every moment then

I found a way home and the haven of my heart
I found a way home and the haven of my heart
I found a way home and the haven of my heart
The haven of my heart, the haven of my heart
I’m the captain of my boat
This is a brand new start from now on...

Haven of My Heart

"Belle" written by Erik Taira

Lyrics (Brazilian Portuguese):

Menina, mulher, sincera
Um sorriso lhe espera
Mesmo quando o choro vem 

A fome de lutar não lhe sacia
Dança e canta de alegria
Pois só quer fazer o bem

Bela, Belle, reluz morena pele
E a paz emana em seu coração 
Manda seus beijos em doces momentos 
Amar é sua respiração 

Bela Belle, reluz morena pele
A luz reflete em seu coração 
Busca respostas na brisa dos ventos
Viver é sua religião 

Da alma generosa ao dom de ensinar
Com os pés na areia num banho de mar
E brilha como arco-íris no céu 
Beleza que não cabe no papel

Belle

"Vida Breve, Leve Vida" written by Erik Taira

Lyrics (Brazilian Portuguese):

Um novo dia pra viver 
Asas pra poder sonhar
Pois tudo se torna possível
Pra quem decide acreditar

Mente aberta pra aprender
Saber que você pode errar
Não ter razão pra se arrepender
Seguir em frente sem se preocupar

Não tenha pressa de crescer
Não peça ao tempo pra passar
Pois sábio é aquele que leva
A vida leve em passo devagar

Sempre é bom agradecer
Nunca é tarde pra mudar
Deixar de lado o orgulho
E permitir-se perdoar

É tempo de tentar sorrir
Mesmo se quiser chorar
Pois tudo passa no seu tempo
E o tempo tudo vai curar

Não tenha pressa de crescer
Não peça ao tempo pra passar
Pois sábio é aquele que leva
A vida leve em passo devagar

Não tenha pressa de crescer
Não peça ao tempo pra passar
Pois sábio é aquele que leva
A vida leve como o ar

Leve a vida, leve, livre sem se apressar
Breve a vida, leve, livre pra poder voar
Leve a vida, leve, livre pro vento soprar
Breve a vida, leve, livre pra amar

Vida Breve, Leve Vida

"Wide Open Mind" written by Erik Taira

I think I’ll take a different path today
Much more YESes and less NOs on what I say
I pledge I won’t complain like I used to do before
I’ll push myself to step outside my comfort zone

I keep a wide open, wide open mind
Some walls look high but are there for us to climb

I’ll handle issues on a completely different mood
Dive for ages into the pages of a new book
I’ll pack my bags to go somewhere I’ve never been
In this entire globe, there‘s so much to be seen	

I keep a wide open, wide open mind
Some walls look high but are there for us to climb

I will not argue with those who love to disagree
Let them just speak up and reveal their wrong beliefs
I’ll pay attention to the old but wise man’s words
He said to himself “what a wonderful world"

I keep a wide open, wide open mind
Some walls look high but are there for us to climb

I keep a wide open, wide open mind
Reach for the summit then you’ll find yourself alive.

Wide Open Mind

"Curves" written by Erik Taira

New discoveries on this endless road ahead
A welcoming mirage, the heat from layers of your skin 
A dense and dark forest left behind 
Windows of your soul send rays of northern lights
A lonely hill vents volcanic steam clouds 
I’m invited by the gentle breath coming from your mouth

Goosebumps on this skinny bridge, behold the raising hairs 
Two highways merging to the right and left 

I wanna get lost on these curves
lost like never did before
I am reckless for more
driving on this winding road 
unbuckled seat belts, with no maps
no cruise control, slowly I’ll be 
tracing you from head to toe   

Morning dew covers roadsides around sharp bends
Twin mountains attract me to harmful steep ascents
Seismic heartbeats break the limits of earthquake scales
Moving Indian drawings on these sacred native trails
Feels like in a tropical weather in this birth haven underground
At the centre of this vastness lies a concave roundabout

The wild valley converges at the pleasure tunnel and there’s no coming back
Slippery lanes may cause me lose control, completely out of track
The next exit is hidden, gravel no through road never explored
Full throttle downhill like being chased
Speed signs are fairly ignored

Two thick roads spiralling towards the finish line
Skiding tires on top of your heels for the very first time

I wanna get lost on these curves
lost like never did before
I am reckless for more
driving on this winding road 

I’m not done getting lost on these curves
lost like never did before
I am reckless for more
driving on this winding road
unbuckled seat belts, with no maps
no cruise control, slowly I’ll be 
tracing you from head to toe   

Tracing you from head to toe   
Tracing you from head to toe
