Mariza - Chuva (Concerto em Lisboa)
Lyrics - English Translation
Rain
The ordinary things in life
don't bring us nostalgia
Only the memories that hurt
Or make us smile do
There are people that remain in our story
in the story of our life
and others whose the name
we barely care to listen to again
There are emotions that give life
to the longing that I bring with me
Emotions that I had by your side
and I lost a little ago
There are days that leave traces in our souls
and in our lives
and the day you left me,
I can not forget
The rain wet my
cold and tired face
And all the streets in that city,
I had already passed by
Ah ... my crying of lost girl
shouted to the city that
the fire of love in the rain
just now died
The rain listened to my secret
and shared it with the city
And now, rain taps on my windows
bringing the longing back

Brandi Carlile - Church & State
Live on SNL - Nov 1, 2025
Lyrics
While the empire was failing
I was so far from home
I heard a thousand sirens wailing
So I was never on my own
And when the blackness slowly parted
I saw the ivory towers
Before the revolution started
Between the madness of the hours
And they don't see what we see
We believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way
We'll find a way, imagine if we could
In the days that quickly followed
They began to turn to stone
They couldn't stand or speak or swallow
They couldn't get out of bed alone
And when the frailty overcomes them
And they begin to crawl
Reaching out their bloody hands
Guess who gets to make the call?
They don't see what we see
We believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way
We'll find a way, imagine if we could
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act
Of the whole American people, which declared that
Their legislature should make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
Thus building a wall of separation
Between Church and State
No, they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way
We'll find a way, imagine if we could

Jean-Pierre von Dach on guitar. Imo, better than Jeff Beck's version with her.
Well maybe not better than King but not bad.
Ukrainian band cover. Not really an apples to apples comparison.

Percy Mayfield : Nothin' Stays The Same Forever (1974)
(Hosted by Stephane Vitse)
Lyrics from Genius
---------------------
Nothin' stays the same forever
No, nothin' livin'..ever stays the same
A little child turns into a big kid
And by and by...you'll see a change
(why), Big oak trees from little seed rows
And so does every...every thing in life
So in return...your fellow men, he (?)
Just be glad you have arrived
'Cause nothin'...stays the same forever
So, try to live...and watch the change
Best to be...among the livin'
Hmm, can't you feel...the joy it bring
(why) Babblin' brooks...and runnin' water
Hills and dells...and countryside
You defy...your saddest memory
And make tomorrow be worthwhile
'Cause nothin'...stays the same forever
Every night must turn to day (yes, and yesterday)
And if you are...a thinkin' person (he-he-he-he)
Take a little time to pray
(why) Father Time and Mother Nature
Married long before our time
Count your blessings...past and present
Uh, then only search for peace in mind
'Cause nothin'...stays the same forever
And I don't care how much you try (no)
Man was born..to witness wonder
And man was also born....to die
Man was born to die....born to die
