2.	Wooden Toys 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Wooden toys and colored schemes Have made their way into my dreams And I don't know how Stepped into a picture book And thought I might have a look All around The birds soaring Through the foggy morning Lying here on the ground Don't know what's to be found It's all new to me I hear a voice resound Is it my own sound I don't know, let's see La-la-la-la, La-lala-la-la Mother's milk and skin like silk Are commonplace in my life Who's that man who sings at night? He smiles when in my sight He calls my ma his wife And every day we catch sun rays

Teu íris desenha o céu azul Com raios de sol Escapando um eclipse lunar Desejo voar Pele mar de baunilha Ilhas de chocolate Onde nadarei Onde voarei Onde sou o rei Te beijarei

5.	Pikake 02:11	lyrics	buy track
If some day I ever am deaf I'll still hear your voice til the day of my death, And if by chance I lose my hands, I'll reminisce your tender skin, and If one day I ever go blind, I'll still see you smile in the eye of my mind, If somehow I lose my tongue, Just remember how I sung song after song Because I love you, woman, Because with you I am the man, I am, No, I can't live without you woman, You set me free you are my dream my destiny If my nostrils seize to smell I'll recall how you put me under your spell Pikake, ginger, vanilla pheromones, Late night massages with hot hot stones Because I love you, woman, Because with you I am the man, I am, No, I can't live without you woman, You set me free you are my dream my destiny Because I love you, woman, Because I love you, yeh

Não sei por que Você passa pela minha casa Todo santo dia Sem olhar pra minha cara Cê ri da minha cara Tá rindo da cara Não sei por que Eu estou aqui e você Passa por aí sem me vê Finge não ouvir o que vou dizer Você não me vê aê Você desce aquela rua todo santo dia No seu carrinho zerinho importado Você finge sentir pena de mim Você finge sentir pena de mim Não sei por que Eu estou aqui e você Passa por ali sem me vê E daí sem entender Você não me vê aê Com samba no pé Futebol e o jeito de viver Furto e o jeito de comer E o dinheiro cadê E o dinheiro cadê? Cadeia Solução pra nós cê pensa Só nos trancar cê pensa Que vai passar cê pensa Que vai acabar Não sei por que Eu estou aqui e você Passa por ali sem me vê E daí sem entender Você não me vê
7.	The Pit 02:34	lyrics	buy track
The pit you dig yourself is the most dangerous of all The pit you dig yourself is the most dangerous, The most dangerous of all Surely one day if holes and traps are set all around your home, My man, you’ll lose yourself to your own devices, But if the ground is kept level, It shall be much easier to walk through this life If the ground is kept level, it shall be much easier There are enough dangers in the world Without those that are created for ourselves, By ourselves, for ourselves, yes He that diggeth the pit shall bury in it, He that diggeth the pit shall bury in it, He that diggeth the pit shall bury If you are the big tree, the big big tree, we are the small axe Sharpened to cut, cut, cut, you down, ready to cut you down

9.	Poisonous Asparagus 03:08	lyrics	buy track
This corruption is scandalous, This temptation is treacherous, All this violence is contagious And young children are dangerous There’s poisonous asparagus Man to man is so unjust You don’t know who to trust And this bloody war that never ends, To solve these troubles we must begin, right now, here’s how Be honest with yourself It’s not just sell sell sell Liberate your mind from that cell Dance around oxidize your blood cells It’s not enough to just wish well I & I know time will tell How to fly away from this bloody war that never ends Each one must treat the other as kin
10.	Rain/Sol 02:15	lyrics	buy track
Upon us all a little rain must fall So let the rain come down upon me I will rejoice all the more at the passing of the clouds And the sight of the sun The sun is always shining somewhere, If you can't see it, have patience It will come to you in time Sobre todos nós um pouco de chuva há de cair Então que a chuva chova sobre mim, chova chuva Chova sobre mim, chuva chova Exalterei tanto mais com o abrir do céu e o raiar do sol O sol esta sempre a brilhar em algum lugar Se tu não vês, paciência Virá a ti com tempo

about

Sotê Falls Church, Virginia

The core of Sotê are brothers Daniel & Marco Sotelino. They grew up in São Paulo scratching out guitar chords and riffs as they listened to their favorite songs on FM radio, cassettes and CDs. They draw from a wide range of influences-reggae, rock, samba, bossa nova, folk, and jazz. To bring their original songs to life, Sotê collaborates with various talented artists. ... more
