Military Regime in Brazil (Oral History Report) 1964 - 85

From "5" 1972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_Machine

Ivory Coast, west Africa musician...Very much known in all Africa and also in France, Belgium etc A youtube poster explained that the song is about the danger of Politics.People will praise you on your way up and then bring you down Seems to work the same way all over the world apparently....... True they had a few serious problems in Ivory Coast, including a Dictator ( Houphet Boigny-RIP)...Problems went on after his death, despite Country being so rich ( first world producer of cocoa etc)...Capital Abidjan is said to be one of the most modern cities in Africa....They had also a civil war.... Heard track for the 1st time while in Senegal, west Africa in 1987...Liked it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast One of the funny / sad facts about the Dictator was that he (apparently a fervent Catholic) decided to build an exact copy of St.Peter's Cathedral of Rome ( biggest catholic church in the world) in the exact original size and extremely costly materials like marbles etc imported from Italy....in his birth-town Yamoussoukro ...The classic cathedral in the desert ....Of course using millions and millions of money ( public, I'd venture to guess)

RIP Massimo Riva (vocalist) Ok yeah....Allright Tonight I'm staying with you Ok Yeah... You'll see Tonight You'll die! Take all you want Tonight we won't ever leave each other It's your lips making me cry by now Sometimes when you kiss me I believe I'd die If you weren't around I could not live My life is only yours and you know this Ok Yeah Take whatever you want Tonight we won't ever leave each other Ok Yeah Just do whatever you want to me But remember that you'll cry afterwards Ok Yeah......Allright Original Italian Lyrics Ok sì... va beh! Questa notte sto con te. Ok sì... vedrai... Questa notte morirai! Ok Ok Ok sì... Ok sì! Prendi tutto quel che vuoi! Questa notte non ci lasceremo mai! Sono le labbra tue che mi fan piangere oramai. Quando mi baci a volte credo che io morirei. Se non ci fossi tu io non potrei vivere. La mia vita è solo tua e tu lo sai. Ok sì... va beh! Ok... sì... va beh! ...va beh! ... va beh! Ok sì!! Prendi tutto ciò che vuoi! Questa notte non ci lasceremo mai!! Ok sì! Fammi tutto quel che vuoi! Ma ricordati che dopo piangerai!! Ok sì!! Ok sì!!
