Algumas músicas bregas em inglês!
Sabe música brega brasilera como Wando, Jane e Herondy, Carlos Alexandre, Odair José e outros? Pois é, esses a gente conhece! Agora, você já se perguntou se nos países de língua inglesa existe esse tipo de música que a pessoa morre mas não admite que ouve? Ah, amigos, tem sim!
Em inglês, a palavra que mais se aproxima de “brega” em conceito, é “cheesy”, e também tem o “tacky”, que é para cafona. Bem…qual a diferença?
Saca só essa lista e sinta orgulho da sua camiseta do Luis Ricardo!
1 – Ambrosia – Biggest Part of Me
Sim, existe uma banda chamada Ambrosia. O que, por si, já seria o suficiente para estar na nossa lista, mas a música é o que importa mais, e então aqui vai o seu maior hit Biggest Part of Me (A maior parte de mim):
.
Biggest Part of Me
There’s a new sun arisin’
(In your eyes) I can see a new horizon
(Realize) That will keep me realizin’
You’re the biggest part of me
Need your lovin’ here beside me
(Shine the light) Need it close enough to guide me
(All my life) I’ve been hoppin’ you would find me
You’re the biggest part of me
Well, make a wish, baby
And I will make it come true
Make a list baby, of the things I’ll do for you
Ain’t no risk in lettin’ my love rain down on you
So we can wash away the past so that we may start anew
Risin’ over my shoulder
(Love flows) Gettin’ better as we’re older
(All I know) All I wanna do is hold her
She’s the life that breathes in me
Got a feelin’ that forever
Together) We are gonna stay together
(Forever) For me there’s nothing better
You’re the biggest part of me
Well, make a wish, baby
And I will make it come true
Make a list baby, of the things I’ll do for you
Ain’t no risk in lettin’ my love rain down on you
So we can wash away the past so that we may start anew
More than an easy feelin’
She brings joy to me
How can I tell you what it means to me
Flow like a lazy river
For an eternity
I finally found someone who believes in me
And I’ll never leave
(Now I’ve found all I need)
Need your lovin’ here beside me
(To guide me) Keep it close enough to guide me
(Inside of me) From the fears that are inside of me
You´re the biggest part of me
Got a feelin’ that forever
(Together) We are gonna stay together
(Forever) From now until forever
You’re the biggest part or me
You’re the life that breathes in me
You’re the biggest part of me
You changed my life
You made it bright
And I’ll be a savior to you
For the rest of my life
Oh, the biggest part of me

2 – Player – Baby Come Back
A banda Player (percebam que os nomes são ótimos) apresenta aqui o seu grande sucesso dos anos 70. Possivelmente já garantiu os amassos de muitos casais naquela época…ou não!
Baby Come Back
Spending all my nights
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes
I’m right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can’t live without you
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down
I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can’t live without you
Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me
Ain’t there nothing left for me
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, listen, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can’t live without you
I was wrong, and I just can’t live

3 – Alphaville – Forever Young
Daqueles pseudo-metal farofa dos anos 80 que fariam qualquer David Coverdale enrubescer.
Forever Young
Let’s dance in style, let’s dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies.
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad man.
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden the faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders, we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the, the madman.
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young?
It’s so hard to get old without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures given up today,
So many songs we forgot to play.
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true.
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever young

4 – Reo Speedwagon – Can’t Fight This Feeling
Essa banda teve um certo sucesso nos anos 70 e começo dos 80. Depois caiu no esquecimento. Mas mereceu entrar na lista de cheesy songs! “Não posso mais segurar esse sentimendo, e mesmo assim não tenho coragem de deixar rolar” óun…
Can’t Fight This Feeling
I can’t fight this feeling any longer
And yet I’m still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can’t hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
‘Coz I feel so secure when we’re together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear
And ever as I wander I’m keeping you in sight
You’re a candle in the window on a cold dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I every thought I might
And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
‘Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I’ve been runnin’ round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I’m following you, girl
‘Cause you take me to the places that alone I’d never find
And ever as I wander I’m keeping you in sight
You’re a candle in the window on a cold dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I every thought I might
And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
‘Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore

5 – Captain and Tennille – Do that one more time
Ah sim, eles também têm o seu Jane & Herondy. Aqui é Captain e Tennille. Mas não se engane, apesar da breguisse clara, conseguiram papar um Grammy em 1975!
.
Do That to Me One More Time
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you Whoa-oh-oh, kiss me like you just did
Oh, baby, do that to me once again
Pass that by me one more time
Once is never enough for my heart to hear
Whoa-oh-oh, tell it to me one more time
I can never hear enough while I got’ya near
Whoa-oh-oh, say those words again that you just did
Oh, baby tell it to me once again
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Whoa-oh-oh, do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you
Whoa-oh-oh, kiss me like you just did
Oh, baby do that to me once again
Whoa-oh-oh, baby, do that to me once again
Whoa-oh-ho-oh-oh-oh, baby, do that to me one more time
Do it again
One more time
Do it again
One more time
Do it again
One more time
Do it again
One more time
