work on finding more of his work and not hattin on elise.
Yeah, and leave the girl alone.
And can you translate this:
Tem uns dias
Que eu acordo
Pensando e querendo saber
De onde vem
O nosso impulso
De sondar o espa??o
A come??ar pelas sombras sobre as estrelas-las-las-las
E depensar que eram os deuses astronautas
E que se pode voar sozinho at?? as estrelas-las-las
Ou antes dos tempos conhecidos
Conhecidos
Vieram os deuses de outras gal??xias-xias-xias
Ou de um planeta de possibilidades imposs??veis
E de pensar que n??o somos os primeiros seres terrestres
Pois n??s herdamos uma herna??a c??smica
Errare humanum est
Errare humanum est

Paychechz speaketh the truth! I've been filling some gaps in my Jorge Ben collection the last few weeks; got most of 'em save for "big ben" now. Faves:
Forca Bruta
Ben e Samba Bom
Tabua de Esmeralda
here's forca bruta ripped from my copy @256 - enjoy!
Only by making you about $100 poorer.
I think its Jorge Ben's first recordings. Its very very very syncopated stuff and that chimey organ. It can grate on you after a while, but the Mas Que Nada is pretty hot.
doesnt that mean 'Making mistakes is only human' ?
Hard to choose a favorite.
I'll go with Force Bruta rigth now.
I'm still looking for Negro e Lindo tho, so if anyone has one ...
Hey Jonny
Here's a free translation. Hope it makes any sense.
"There are some days
When I wake up
Thinking and wanting to know
From where comes
Our impulse
Of exploring the space
Beginning by the shadows over the stars -ars -ars -ars
And of thinking that the gods were astronauts
And that one can fly alone to the stars -ars -ars -ars
Or before the known times
Known
Came the gods from other galaxies -xies -xies -xies
Or from a planet of impossible possibilities
And of thinking that we are not the first terrestrial beings
Because we inherited a cosmic legacy
Errare humanum est (Making mistakes is only human)
Errare humanum est (Making mistakes is only human)"
Peace
The expression is, "To err is human" from the quote, "To err is human, to forgive is divine."

this would sound amazing sung in english
You're welcome, J**ny.
Peace

no worries... i tried to delete the emobrasil part....
otherwise, i think the modern jorge sucks. as a minister and as a musician. he's kinda like a brazilian phil collins.
Thanks for the tip, Malus A.
Like I said, it's a free translation and my English is only VG-.
Peace
Yeah, the modern Jorge's music sucks, but the minister is Gilberto Gil and not Jorge Ben Jor.
Peace
Like my Brazilian records!
i mean gilberto gil sucks as a minister. ben is just a bad musician. like that vincio guy or the wacky veloso dude... soft eggs!
Dude!
scientologiesque insane! but probably just wack!
Tim Maia was the cosmic priest, but Ben had his mystic phase, too.
Tabua de Esmeralda is a good example of it, full of songs about Hermes Trismegistus, alchemy, magic, and all that scheet.
The difference is that Ben didn't dive deeply in it.
Peace
