Winds of Change
There are winds of changes blowing
Gathering leaves up in its path
And the people who are the leaves
Will remain in our hearts
With love, till eternity
King Elmore was born,
So was Duke Ellington
Jelly Roll made love
Bessie Smith was created in heaven above
Robert Johnson sang the blues
Shick Webb did those things that only he could do
Charlie Christian started a new thing
And, oh my, how Billie Holiday could sing…
Alan Freed rock and rolled,
Joe Turner's voice was very low
B.B. King wailed
Charlie Parker cried
Louis Jordan smiled
Ray Charles moaned,
Chuck Berry rock and rolled
Fats Domino made me feel good
Elvis Presley did things that no one thought he could
Then came the Beatles, Rolling Stones
Whole new thing was going on.
Frank Zappa zapped
Mamas and Papas knew where it was at
They all listened to Ravi Shankar….
Now that we got Jimi Hendrix
We know where we are (and Louis Jordan smiled…)
And the winds of change go on blowing, blowing,
Gathering more and more leaves in its path,
As time goes past…
Winds of change keep on blowing,
Winds of change keep on blowing,
Bob Dylan sang about the winds of change
Blowing, it's all blowing, the winds of change….
Ventos de Mudança
Estão soprando ventos de mudança
Levantando folhas pelo caminho
E as pessoas que são as folhas
Vão ficar em nossos corações
Com amor, até a eternidade
O Rei Elmore nasceu,
Assim como Duke Ellington
Jelly Roll fez amor
Bessie Smith foi criada no céu acima
Robert Johnson cantou o blues
Shick Webb fez aquelas coisas que só ele podia fazer
Charlie Christian começou algo novo
E, oh meu Deus, como Billie Holiday cantava...
Alan Freed fez rock and roll,
A voz de Joe Turner era bem baixa
B.B. King chorou
Charlie Parker gritou
Louis Jordan sorriu
Ray Charles gemia,
Chuck Berry fez rock and roll
Fats Domino me fez sentir bem
Elvis Presley fez coisas que ninguém achava que ele poderia
Então vieram os Beatles, Rolling Stones
Uma coisa totalmente nova estava acontecendo.
Frank Zappa fez suas loucuras
Mamas and Papas sabiam onde estava a parada
Todos ouviam Ravi Shankar...
Agora que temos Jimi Hendrix
Sabemos onde estamos (e Louis Jordan sorriu...)
E os ventos de mudança continuam soprando, soprando,
Levantando mais e mais folhas pelo caminho,
Enquanto o tempo passa...
Os ventos de mudança continuam soprando,
Os ventos de mudança continuam soprando,
Bob Dylan cantou sobre os ventos de mudança
Soprando, tudo soprando, os ventos de mudança...
