Tom Zé, Quando Eu Era Sem Ninguém, 1973.

from Todos os olhos

Ô cadê, cadê você?

Quando eu era sem ninguém

eu não tinha amor nenhum,

o meu coração batia, ô maninha,

tum, tum, tum.

Todo mundo arranja um bem:

eu ficando sem ninguém

e o meu coração batendo, ô maninha,

tum, tum, tum.

Você diz que faca corta,

que navalha corta mais,

e a navalha que mais corta

é a língua dos rapaz.

Tum, tum, tum, tindolelê.

tum, tum, tum, tindolalá.

As moças da minha terra

nunca ficam sem casar,

(porque se passar dos trinta ela tem

Santo Antônio pra ajudar).

E toda meia-noite

eu sonho com você.

se você duvidar, posso até

sonhar pra você ver.

Geraldo Pino And The Heartbeats - Power To The People

Geraldo Pino is a Legend in African music as a whole. He introduced funk and soul to the west African nations so successfully that he became the biggest African star (inside Africa) of late ’60s. He influenced even Fela Kuti. Please, listen to this song and understand why.. 

There is a repress of the original 1970’s LP (which is almost impossible to find) by Soundway.
