Boa Sorte / Good Luck (ft. Vanessa da Mata)
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
Não tem mais jeito
Acabou, boa sorte
Não tenho o que dizer
São só palavras
E o que eu sinto
Não mudará
Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado
Não há paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais
That's it
There's no way
It's over, Good luck
I have nothing left to say
It's only words
And what l feel
Won't change
Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me
É demais / It's too much
É pesado / It's heavy
Não há paz / There is no peace
Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me
Irreais / Isn't real
Expectativas / that Expectations
Desleais
Mesmo, se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa
Que o aconselha
Há um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Há tantas pessoas especiais
Now even if you hold yourself
I want you to get cured
From this person
Who advises you
There is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many special people in the world
So many special people in the world in the world
All you want
All you want
Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado
Não há paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais
Now we're falling, falling, falling , falling into the night, into the night
Falling, falling, falling, falling into the night
Um bom encontro é de dois
Now we're falling, falling, falling , falling into the night, into the night
Falling, falling, falling, falling into the night
About Boa Sorte / Good Luck (ft. Vanessa da Mata)
Ben Harper's "Boa Sorte / Good Luck," featuring Vanessa da Mata, stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to cross-cultural collaboration and acoustic storytelling. Recorded in the late 1990s, the track blends Harper's signature fingerstyle guitar work with the rhythmic, soulful vocals of the Brazilian singer, creating a seamless fusion of American blues-rock and Brazilian sertanejo traditions. The song exemplifies Harper's ability to weave diverse musical influences into a cohesive whole, characteristic of his work during the era when he frequently sought to bridge cultural gaps through music. Beyond its specific cultural fusion, the recording highlights Harper's mastery of the acoustic guitar and his talent for crafting melodies that resonate universally. It reflects a period in his discography where he prioritized organic, unadorned performances over heavy production, focusing instead on the emotional depth of the lyrics and the interplay between the two artists. The track remains a notable example of his broader body of work that celebrates global unity through the shared language of music, showcasing his versatility as a performer and songwriter.
