Milton Nascimento
Milton Nascimento (born 26 October, 1942) is a Brazilian songwriter, singer, and guitarist, who is considered one of the foremost icons of Brazilian popular music.

His work spans a multitude of genres, from contemporary folk to jazz, and is often rooted in the traditional and indigenous music of the country.
Nascimento was born in Rio de Janeiro, and grew up in Três Pontas, Minas Gerais. His mother was the maid Maria do Carmo Nascimento. When he was just a few months old, the boy was adopted by the family for whom his mother had previously worked: the couple Josino Brito Campos (a banker, mathematics teacher and electronic technician) and Lília Silva Campos (a music teacher). He lived in the boroughs of Laranjeiras and Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro. When he was 18 months old, his biological mother died and he moved with his adoptive parents to the city of Três Pontas, in the State of Minas Gerais.
In the earlier stages of his career, Nascimento played in two samba groups, Evolussamba and Sambacana. In 1963 he moved to Belo Horizonte, and his friendship with the Borges brothers (Marilton, Márcio e Lô Borges) led to the Clube da Esquina ("corner club") movement. Other members included Beto Guedes, Toninho Horta, Wagner Tiso, and Flavio Venturini.
Nascimento is famous for his chime-clear falsetto and tonal range, as well for highly acclaimed songs such as "Canção da América" ("Song from America") and "Coração de Estudante" ("Student's Heart"). The lyrics of "Coração de Estudante" remembers the funeral of the student Edson Luís, killed by police officers in 1968. The song became the hymn for the diretas Já campaign in 1984 and it was also played in the funeral of the late president Tancredo Neves the next year, who died before assuming the presidency.
While his reputation within Brazil was firmly established with his Clube da Esquina works, Nascimento's international breakthrough came with his appearance on jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter's 1974 album "Native Dancer". This led to widespread acclaim, and collaborations with American stars such as Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Pat Metheny.
Through his friendship with guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, Nascimento came to work with the pop-rock band Duran Duran in 1993. Nascimento co-wrote and performed (in the Portuguese language) the song "Breath After Breath", featured on the band's 1993 album "Duran Duran". He also performed with the band in concert when they toured in Brazil, in support of that album. Nascimento earned a Grammy award for "Best World Music Album" in 1998 for his album "Nascimento", and was also nominated in 1991 and 1995.

Tudo o Que Você Podia Ser
Milton Nascimento Lyrics
Com sol e chuva você sonhava
Que ia ser melhor depois
Você queria ser o grande herói das estradas
Tudo que você queria ser
Sei um segredo você tem medo
Só pensa agora em voltar
Não fala mais na bota e do anel de Zapata
Tudo que você devia ser sem medo
Não se lembra mais de mim
Você não quis deixar que eu falasse de tudo
Tudo que você podia ser na estrada
Ah! Sol e chuva na sua estrada
Mas não importa não faz mal
Você ainda pensa e é melhor do que nada
Tudo que você consegue ser ou nada
Não importa não faz mal
Você ainda pensa e é melhor do que nada
Tudo que você consegue ser ou nada

Leonardo Assis
З сонцем і дощем ти мріяв
Я хотів пізніше бути кращим
Ви хотіли бути великим героєм доріг
Все, чим ти хотів бути
Я знаю секрет
Ви боїтесь
Подумайте лише про повернення
Більше говорити про чоботи та кільця Сапати
Все, чим ти повинен бути
Без страху
Мене вже не пам’ятай
Ви не хотіли дозволяти мені говорити про все
Все, що ти міг бути ...
На дорозі
Ах! Сонце та дощ
На вашій дорозі
Але це не має значення, це не має значення
Ти все ще думаєш, і це краще, ніж ніщо
Все, чим ти можеш бути ...
Або нічого
Неважливо, неважливо
Ти все ще думаєш, і це краще, ніж ніщо
Все, чим ти можеш бути ...
Або нічого

ALL YOU COULD BE
Of sun and rain you used to dream
That it'd be better later on
You wanted to be the great hero of the roads
All you wanted to be
I know a secret: you're afraid
You only think of going back
You don't talk of Zapata's boot and ring no more
All you should be, without any fear
You don't remember me no more
You did not let me talk about everything
All you could be on the road
Ah! Sun and rain on your road
But it doesn't matter, no not at all
You still think, and that's better than nothing
All you still manage to be, or nothing...

Na sua estrada
Mas não importa, não faz mal
Você ainda pensa e é melhor do que nada
Tudo que você consegue ser
Ou nada
Não importa, não faz mal
Você ainda pensa e é melhor do que nada
Tudo que você consegue ser
Ou nada!
