Introduction
---------------------------------------------

JOHNNY OLD
I was only eleven years old. And was living my inner winter. One that freezes the soul and darkens the face. Up to then, I was feeling trapped in a gloomy cave. But I decided to change everything. I don't know why, but I was sure I could do it.


Primavera (Spring)
---------------------------------------------

"Spring is the synthesis of the movie. David composed it specially for the Album. If someone asks you how is the movie, you show him 'Spring' and it is all there. It expresses all the Johnny's feelings, the smallest desires of a child. Aristides, that played Johnny, sings a piece in the song."
Daniel Jesus Vignolli

Desenho na mão partido ao meio,
The drawing on the hand is broken in half
vejo o meu coração em uma caverna escura,
I see my heart in a dark cave
canto a solidão.
I sing of the solitude
Passos desafinados, corro na contramão.
Steps out of tune, I'm running the wrong way
Vou sair pra procurar
I'll leave to seek
e Ela encontrar
And find Her

Quero ver a vida sempre bela
I want to see the life always beautiful
e me entregar entre os braços da Primavera.
And surrender myself in the arms of spring
Lírios e rosas vermelhas aos pés Dela,
Lilies and red roses at Her feet
desabrochar entre os braços da Primavera.
Blossoming in the arms of spring

Ó Brisa, vem correndo, engana o tempo,
Oh breeze, come running, trick the time
vem me encontrar na praça.
Come to meet me in the square
Desembaraça meu cabelo, o cata-vento,
Get the tangles out of my hair, the windmill,
Ó Mãe, vem e me abraça!
Oh Mother, come and hug me!

Quero ver a vida sempre bela
e me entregar entre os braços da Primavera.
Lírios e rosas vermelhas aos pés Dela,
desabrochar entre os braços da Primavera.

Bola, pipa, gibi e pião,
Ball, kite, comics and top
figurinhas no meu coração.
Pictures cards in my heart
Bola, pipa, gibi e pião,
Ball, kite, comics and top
Tem um segredo na minha mão.
There's a secret in my hand

Quero ver a vida sempre bela
e me entregar entre os braços da Primavera.
Lírios e rosas vermelhas aos pés Dela,
desabrochar entre os braços da Primavera.



Two Silhouettes
------------------------------

"I listened Maëry for the first time in 2001, and she impressed me since that. She is one of that few singers that know exactly what they make with their voice. More than that, she transmits emotion in the right moments of the song. When we invited her to the Album, we didn't know how she will answer to that, but hopefully she liked it and sent her CD 'Live Underwater'. Two Silhouettes was chosen right away. It is like Johnny was walking in the seashore with the Mother, in the early morning, slow motion. Well, just Maëry can say that, or sing."
Daniel Jesus Vignolli

"Okay so I broke down and wrote a real love song to a real person…I resisted this cliché reason for writing a song for a long time until I figured out a way to say "the same thing" (I love you) in a different way."
Maëry Lanahan

The sun shines between our two silhouettes
Making a shadowless form
All the rays bounce to you to me to you again
All the light moves between us

The world is full of black and white rainbows
Empty intentions of color
When the light bounces between us
hundreds of pieces of fear fall to the ground and break

Sometimes I forget you are right next to me
I forget your name.
You are like my heartbeat constantly moving blood
without a thought
I've framed your body with a thousand gold halos
that show me what is real
When I find the real pieces of me I will show you
We'll celebrate each tiny piece.

Sometimes I forget you are right next to me
I forget your name
You are like my heartbeat constantly moving blood
without a thought

The sun shines between our two silhouettes
Making a shadowless form
All the rays bounce to you to me to you again
All the light moves between us


Touching your heart
-----------------------------------

"This song is special for me. It sounds like one of that dreams in heaven. We already used some parts of it in our movie 'The Answer', in the scenes of decision and travel of king Shankara, but I always wanted more and this was the time. Stephen sings for the Mother Nature, he is playing with masters of the music (Guruji, Angela, Pierluca...). Actually, I would like to have asked also for 'Comforter' to Stephen, but it's okay. Thouching Your Heart is a living dream for me and Johnny too."

Touching your heart, Mother Nature's Child of One
Misty morning fog, tender sings the warmth of the sun
And the river knows, the secrets flow through everyone
Mother please carry us home when the rain comes

Ocean of life there's something for us all to be
Changing our lives with patterns playing endlessly
The reasons why are pulling at our hearts so deep
Mother please bring us peace & give us light to see

Close your eyes to see the truth beyond your fears
She will rise, Her endless love is always near
As She whispers on the wind listen to Her words so clear
Mother please give us wings redemption time is here

Battlecry rages on, patiently She dries all our tears
Confusion and pain, there's hunger after all these years
Is the love She gives in vain wasted on souls
that will not feel
Mother please give us eyes to understand what is real

Touching our hearts Mother Nature's Child of One
Will you face the questions that haunt everyone
Will the answers that you find take you beyond your mind
Mother in Your Grace Save the human race


Drops of Love
------------------------------------------

"This is part of a time when David was singing the nature, around the beginning of 2001. In this version, he is extremely introspective, as someone who is singing in the top of the mountain directly to God. He can't see God with his eyes, but he can feel it somehow and this makes him keeping composing his poem."

Drops of Love, fall from the skies
blessings of God, when You smile
Fragrance of Earth, spreads on air
overflowed by Your Love, everywhere

Only in silence, beyond gunas,
Can my heart hear You
Only in thoughtless, full of tenderness,
Can I know who You are

You are the sunlight in afternoon spring,
You are the song that I sing,
Mother, You are everything...
You are the color of all the races,
You are the end of mistakes,
Mother, You are everything we need.

Drops of Love, fall from the skies
blessings of God, when You smile
Fragrance of Earth, spreads on air
overflowed by Your Love, everywhere

Only in silence, beyond gunas,
Can my heart hear You
Only in thoughtless, beyond Dharma,
Can I know who You are

You are the sunlight in afternoon spring,
You are the song that I sing,
Mother, You are everything...
You are the color of all the races,
You are the end of mistakes,
Mother, You are everything we need.

You made me fly up above the skies,
and live eternal life.
The silence resurrected in my soul
and inner harmony You made flow

You are the tiny hope in unbeliever's heart,
Seed of bliss in my life,
Mother, You are everything...
You are the holiness in every saint soul,
Truth men must know,
Mother, Your love will sprout every human being.


O Encontro
------------------------------

"Pavan is one of that artists among the multitude. Maybe he will became a professional, maybe not, but he has the brazilian song in the blood. He is able to compose with many rhythms. We knew his song was going to express one of the most important things to this Album, the spontaneity of a child. After sending the song, he called me and told: I just want that people enjoy it. They will Pavan, they will."

O que poderei fazer? Eu me pergunto
What will I be able to do? I ask myself
Carregar tamanha dor não é preciso
It carry such pain is not necessary
Eu só quero me encontrar eu só quero ser feliz
I alone want find myself, I just want to be happy
Então me decidi, vou sair pra procurar até achar
Then I decided myself, I am going to leave until find

Deixarei minha família, minha casa vou deixar
I will leave my family, my house I am going to leave
Vou seguindo essa trilha onde ela me levar
I go following that path wherever will lead me
O amor e a verdade e a paz é o que eu quero encontrar
The love and the truth and the peace is what do I want to find

A todo buscador é necessário procurar
To every seeker is necessary find
Pra quem quer ser feliz é necessário encontrar
For who want to be happy is necessary to find
Pra ter a vida nova é necessário procurar até achar
To have the new life is necessary search until find

Mãe a senhora me chamou que alegria
Mother you called me, what a joy
Receber esse amor, um lindo sorriso
Receive that love, a pretty one smile
Já não sinto mais tristeza
Already I do not feel more sorrow
Não possuo nenhuma dúvida, meu coração está limpo
Do not I possess doubts, my heart is clean

A todo buscador é necessário procurar
Pra quem quer ser feliz é necessário encontrar
Pra ter a vida nova é necessário procurar até achar

Volto para casa onde está a minha mãe
I come back home where my mother is
Voltei por que a amo, Mãe eu te amo
I came back because I love you. Mother I love you
Trago comigo essa alegria
I bring with me that joy
Conheci a Mãe Maria e tive a realização
I knew Mother Mary and I had the achievement



Deck
-------------------------------

"As Pavan, Glenn has the music in his blood. He is the type of person that sings because loves it, this is joy. And he transmits it singing, I already can see him singing with a big smile in the face. You feel good listening to him. When we invited Glenn, he sent us two Cds. How many singers would have done that? Was difficult to choose which song was going to the Album, each one had a different choice. But 'Deck' has the joy and the right lyrics to what we needed, and also puts everybody to dancer."

All hands on Deck
The ship is going down.
This old girl, She's been workin for over 30 years
Taking loads of people from 1 land to another,
She ain't got much life anymore, Jimmy
and we ain't got much, time.

But what to do about the crew,
and all the people we got.
Family of the crew and all the people way back home.
Jimmy, your my best friend.
Jimmy, your the best.

So drink Your last drink,
And smoke your last cigarette,
Cause we ain't got much time.
There's a twister up ahead,
And She's gonna take the ship down,
Hang on to what you can,
Some of us are going up,
Some are going .. Now.



She does it all

----------------------------------------

"This song always impressed me. I had already used it in a video documentary about a Sahaja Seminar in Brazil, but I dreamed to include it in the CD. Just listen to the introduction of it and you will understand why. I also thought in include a scene of Johnny running through a yard with a lot of kids, getting in a music class just to include it in the movie. Daniel Wagner is a tremendous artist, I don't know if it is because of the name, but he composed an incredible song. Close your eyes and you will see Johnny lying down in a green grass singing 'She Does it All' to the big blue sky, as the ones we have in spring mornings."

Question yourself in the mirror of beauty
You got the time to work it out, you know
She is always working on the beauty of the world

She does it all, She does it all
She does it all, don't you know
She does it all, She does it all
She does everything alone

Your father in heaven will hear your prayer
He will understand all you ask him for
He'll understand your problems
And he understands what you ask him for
You ask him for, You ask him for.

She does it all, She does it all
She does it all, don't you know
She does it all, She does it all
She does everything alone

Sitting in the green grass and
Watching all the birds fly by
Nothing to fear, Nothing to wonder why
We are singing like the birds
We are singing of the beauty
Of the creation and the one who does it all
Don't you know that She's behind it all

She does it all, She does it all
She does it all, don't you know
She does it all, She does it all
She does everything alone
She does everything alone



Chuva fina (Sweet Rain)
-----------------------------------------

"As Drops of Love, Sweet Rain is part of David's journey trough the nature. But you can say that it was composed for the movie, and that is why we made that clip. The keyboard and the moringa give the innocent feeling. A child dream."
Daniel Jesus Vignolli

"This song transforms the simplicity from the manifestation from the rain, homage to the Magnificent Divine work. The Nature sings the pure knowledge. The rain is presented like a Mother, who comforts her children with a blanket of coolness and hope. Her water generates life and brings us peace."

Vento, vento vem, anunciar que Ela vai chegar
Come, Wind come, to announce that She will come.
Vento, vento vem, sentado na grama vou esperar
Come, Wind come, lying down on the grass, I'll wait.
Vento, vento vem, e traga a primavera pra eu espalhar
Come, Wind come, and bring me the spring to spread it out
Chuva fina vem, pra me refrescar
Sweet rain come to refresh me.

Quando a chuva chegar, o tempo vai parar
When the rain arrives, the time will stop
Quando a chuva chegar, a criança acordar
When the rain arrives, the child will awaken.
Quando a chuva chegar, eu quero me banhar
When the rain arrives, I will surrender myself.

Chuva fina vem,
em Teu manto de gotas quero mergulhar
Sweet rain come, let me dive in your shawl of drop
Chuva fina vem, quantos corações vamos inundar?
Sweet rain come, how many hearts shall we sprout?
Chuva fina vem, sou Teu filho, Ó Chuva, a me entregar
Sweet rain come, I am your son, Oh Rain, surrendering to you.
Chuva fina vem, pra me refrescar
Sweet rain come, to refresh me.

Quero correr, junto à Ti, Onde estiver, eu estarei
I wish to run along with You, Wherever you are, I shall go.
Pelos campos floridos, ou pela imensidão do mar azul
In the flowered meadows, or in the wide blue ocean
Quero apenas estar,
onde Tuas gotas possam me alcançar
I only wish to be, wherever your drops can reach me.

Quando a chuva chegar, o tempo vai parar
Quando a chuva chegar, a criança acordar
Quando a chuva chegar, eu quero me banhar
Quero correr, junto à Ti, Onde estiver, eu estarei



Aarti
-----------------------------------------------

"Just after the invitation we send to the musicians, Allan Morrisey answered saying he could help. The Aarti is a salutation to the Divine Power in Its arrival to Earth. And that was we needed, close the CD with a salutation, as it happens in the Pujas (Sahaja Yoga Ceremony), this Aarti is Johnny's salutation to the Mother who gave him so much."
Daniel Jesus Vignolli

JOHNNY
Mother, please, come into my heart.
JOHNNY OLD
Mother, please come into my heart.
JOHNNY OLD
Many years have passed since then, but the feeling is the same. All the days I went to see Her, She was there, waiting for me. Today, I'm leaving again, but this time, to see the Mother. I'm going to the arms of Spring.
