beachesl Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Artist: Nelly Furtado Song: Forca Lyrics It is the passion flowing right on through your veins And it's the feeling that you're oh so glad you came It is the moment you remember you're alive It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire It is that flower that you took the time to smell It is the power that you know you got as well It is the fear inside that you can overcome This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly It is the beautiful game that you choose to play When you step out into the world to start your day You show your face and take it in and scream and pray You're gonna win it for yourself and us today It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey! Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, closer to the sky Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar ----------------------------------------------- Translation (rough) of chorus: Like a force, like a force, Like a force no one can stop, Like a force, like a force, Like a force no one can kill.
