Brazilian singer Emilio Santiago, 66, died this morning in Rio de Janeiro. He had a stroke on March 7 and had been struggling with it since.<\/p>\n

Emilio graduated in Law, but the passion for music and singers like Nelson Gon\u00e7alves, An\u00edsio Silva and Cauby Peixoto led him to participate in music festivals in the seventies. He recorded his first album in 1975 and in 2013 he got a Latin Grammy for Best Latin\/Pagode Album.<\/p>\n

Tantas palavras, meias palavras
\nNosso apartamento, mm peda\u00e7o de Saigon
\nMe disse adeus no espelho com batom<\/p>\n

Vai minha estrela iluminando
\nToda esta cidade como um c\u00e9u
\nDe luz neon<\/p>\n

Seu brilho silencia todo som
\n\u00c0s vezes voc\u00ea anda por a\u00ed
\nBrinca de se entregar, sonha pra n\u00e3o dormir<\/p>\n

E quase sempre eu penso em te deixar
\nE \u00e9 s\u00f3 voc\u00ea chegar
\nPr’eu esquecer de mim<\/p>\n

Anoiteceu!
\nOlho pro c\u00e9u e vejo como \u00e9 bom
\nVer as estrelas na escurid\u00e3o
\nEspero voc\u00ea voltar pra Saigon<\/p>\n
