Monthly/ Unit Song -Unit 5

They paved paradise 
And put up a parking lot 
With a pink hotel *, a boutique 
And a swinging hot spot 

Don't it always seem to go 
That you don't know what you've got 
Till it's gone 
They paved paradise 
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees 
Put 'em in a tree museum * 
And they charged the people 
A dollar and a half just to see 'em 

Don't it always seem to go 
That you don't know what you've got 
Till it's gone 
They paved paradise 
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer 
Put away that DDT * now 
Give me spots on my apples 
But leave me the birds and the bees 
Please! 

Don't it always seem to go 
That you don't know what you've got 
Till it's gone 
They paved paradise 
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Almost heaven, West Virginia, 

Blue ridge mountain, Shenandoah river, 
Life is old there, older than the trees, 
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong, 
West Virginia, 
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads

All my memories, gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong, 
West Virginia, 
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong, 
West virginia, 
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong, 
West Virginia, 
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

Coração do Brasil! em teu seio

Corre sangue de heróis - rubro veio

Que há de sempre o valor traduzir

És a fonte da vida e da história

Desse povo coberto de glória,

O primeiro, talvez, no porvir.

REFRÃO

"Salve! Ó terra dos altos coqueiros!

De belezas soberbo estendal!

Nova Roma de bravos guerreiros

Pernambuco, imortal! Imortal!"

Esses montes e vales e rios,

Proclamando o valor de teus brios,

Reproduzem batalhas cruéis.

No presente és a guarda avançada,

Sentinela indormida e sagrada

Que defende da Pátria os lauréis.

REFRÃO

Do futuro és a crença, a esperança,

Desse povo que altivo descansa

Como o atleta depois de lutar...

No passado o teu nome era um mito,

Era o sol a brilhar no infinito

Era a glória na terra a brilhar!

REFRÃO

A República é filha de Olinda,

Alva estrela que fulge e não finda

De esplender com seus raios de luz.

Liberdade! Um teu filho proclama!

Dos escravos o peito se inflama

Ante o Sol dessa terra da Cruz!"

REFRÃO(2X)

Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
There are times when you might feel aimless
You can't see the places where you belong
But you will find that there is a purpose
It's been there within you all along and when you're near it
You can almost hear it.

[Chorus]
It's like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious

[Verse 2]
And you will know how to let it ring out as you discover who you are
Others around you will start to wake up
To the sounds that are in their hearts
It's so amazing, what we're all creating

[Chorus]
It's like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious

[Bridge]
And as you feel the notes build [haaa]
You will see

[Chorus]
It's like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious

Counting Stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine

Swing my heart across the line

And my face is flashing signs

Seek it out and you shall find

Old, but I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right

Doing the wrong thing

I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard

Said, no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

 

Eu fico com a pureza
Da resposta das crianças
É a vida, é bonita
E é bonita

Viver
E não ter a vergonha
De ser feliz
Cantar e cantar e cantar
A beleza de ser
Um eterno aprendiz

Ah meu Deus!
Eu sei, eu sei
Que a vida devia ser
Bem melhor e será
Mas isso não impede
Que eu repita
É bonita, é bonita
E é bonita

Viver
E não ter a vergonha
De ser feliz
Cantar e cantar e cantar
A beleza de ser
Um eterno aprendiz

Ah meu Deus!
Eu sei, eu sei
Que a vida devia ser
Bem melhor e será
Mas isso não impede
Que eu repita
É bonita, é bonita
E é bonita

E a vida
E a vida o que é?
Diga lá, meu irmão
Ela é a batida de um coração
Ela é uma doce ilusão
Hê! Hô!

E a vida
Ela é maravilha ou é sofrimento?
Ela é alegria ou lamento?
O que é? O que é?
Meu irmão

Há quem fale
Que a vida da gente
É um nada no mundo
É uma gota, é um tempo
Que nem dá um segundo


E a pergunta roda
E a cabeça agita
Eu fico com a pureza
Da resposta das crianças
É a vida, é bonita
E é bonita

Viver
E não ter a vergonha
De ser feliz
Cantar e cantar e cantar
A beleza de ser
Um eterno aprendiz

Ah meu Deus!
Eu sei, eu sei
Que a vida devia ser
Bem melhor e será
Mas isso não impede
Que eu repita
É bonita, é bonita
E é bonita

Have a lovely start of UNIT 2!

Monthly Music

As a team member of Year 4 I can proudly say that: WE LOVE MUSIC, we are captivated by flutes, violins, drums, guitars, banjo´s and even by our high pitched voices! Music is a big deal in our classroom… our lovely neighbors ( Ms. Taty, Ms. Jana, Ms. Lu and Mr. Mason) share our passion ! They are constantly singing, dancing and whistling tunes. Therefore, we motivate every single student to sing along with Year 4! It is such an empowering feeling.

Interesting facts about Music:

        1. The chills you get when you listen to music, is mostly caused by the brain releasing dopamine while anticipating the peak moment of a song.

 Dopamine is a feel-good chemical released by the brain. This chemical is directly involved in motivation. These studies found a biological explanation for why music always has been such a huge part of emotional events around the world since the beginning of human history.

2.    There are few activities in life that utilizes the entire brain, and music is one of them.

 

With Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI), a research team recorded a group of individuals who were listening to music. They found that listening to music recruits the auditory areas, and employs large-scale neural networks in the brain. In fact, they believe music can activate emotional, motor, and creative areas of the brain.

3.    An “earworm” is a song that  you can’t seem to get out of your head.

An earworm is a cognitive itch in your brain. This “brain itch” is a need for the brain to fill in the gaps in a song’s rhythm. The auditory cortex is a part of your brain that will automatically fill in a rhythm of a song. In other words, your brain kept “singing” long after the song had ended.

So…here it goes, our monthly songs!

Blackbird 

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Shimbalaie, when I see the sun kissing the sea 

Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep 

Nature, goddess of living 
Pure beauty of birth 
A flower shining in the light 
Fisherman between the sea and the hook 

Free thoughts like the sky 
Imagine a paper boat 
Going away to never return 
Going like Iemanja 

Chorus (2X) 
Shimbalaie, when I see the sun kissing the sea 
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep 

How long will it be to learn 
That a flower has life at birth 
That a flower shining in the light 
Fishing between the sea and the hook 

Chorus (2X) 
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea 
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep 
Being a captain of this world 
Able to roll without borders 
Live a year in seconds 
Appreciate dreams as more than silliness 
Become enchanted with books 
That speak about vanity 
When you like may it be needed 
Being able to tell the truth 

Chorus (4X) 
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea 
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep 

Keep singing!

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol ... LA-LOVE
