Meninos, Eu Vi Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Tom Jobim Performer(s): Quarteto em Cy & MPB-4; Djavan; Jose Luiz Mazziotti
Um grande amor
Para viver um grande amor
Eu vi o grande amor no claro olhar da minha amada, eu vi Que todo o grande amor ainda é pouco, ainda é nada, eu vi Amores que jamais verei Meninos, eu vivi Vivendo a poesia de verdade
Também vi a cidade incendiada, eu tive medo Eu vi a escuridão Eu vi o que não quis Amei mais do que pude, eu fiquei cego de paixão E acho que enfim eu vi um homem ser feliz
Juro que um dia eu vi um homem ser feliz
Eu vi o grande amor escancarado em cada cara, eu vi O amor evaporando pelos céus da Guanabara Amores de imortal verão Meninas, como eu vi Vivendo poesia de verdade
Eu vi uma cidade enfeitiçada, e tive medo Eu vi um coração Molhando o meu país Amei mais do que pude, eu fiquei cego de paixão E acho que enfim eu vi o homem ser feliz
Menino Deus Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; A Cor Do Som; Brazil Inc.
Menino Deus De um corpo azul dourado Um porto alegre é bem mais que um seguro Na rota das nossas viagens do escuro Menino Deus Quando tua luz se acende A minha voz comporá tua lenda E por momento haverá mais futuro Do que jamais houve Mas ouve a nossa harmonia A eletricidade, ligada no dia Em que brilharias por sobre cidade Menino Deus Quando a flor do teu sexo Abrir as pétalas para o universo Então por um lapso se encontrar Ligando os breus, dando sentido aos mundos E aos corações sentimentos profundos De terna alegria, no dia Do menino Deus Do menino Deus Do menino Deus No dia do menino Deus
Chorus One last kiss, is all I´ll ever ask from you On a night like this, there´s nothin´ I would rather do One last dream is all you ever give to me Nights no longer seem as lonely as they used to be One last kiss, is all I´ll ever ask from you On a night like this, there's nothin´ I would rather do
Oh, on a night like this I´d give you everything Although I´ve missed things, kept out of sight I´d rather be with you tonight than anything And when I feel your touch, sometimes it hurts so much The way you look at me can never set me free I gotta have your love
Chorus
Oh, with a girl like you, I don´t know who to be Sometimes you play me best out of there I just don´t want you givin´ me your charity And though I need your touch, sometimes, it hurts so much And when the feelin´s gone, and you still lead me on I´ve got to have your love
Mendocino County Line Composer(s): Matt Serletic; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Lee Ann Womack
Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind As the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away I orchestrated paradise, couldn't make you stay You dance with the horses through the sands of time As the sun sinks west on the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
The two of us together felt nothin' but right Feeling near immortal every Friday night Lost in our convictions, left stained with wine As the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
I don't talk to you too much these days I just thank the lord pictures don't fade I spent time with an angel just passing through Now all that's left is this image of you
Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine We used to be so happy once upon a time Once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line And the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
One Last Cold Kiss Composer(s): Gail Collins; Felix Pappalardi Performer(s): Mountain; and various other artists
Two island swans mated for life And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend And the pond was all so peaceful with the rising of the sun Young and free like the island breeze their life was just begun
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start Stalked the hunter with his bow, he put an arrow through her heart Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain For I feel I will not spend another day with you again
And the cold winds blow He was brave but he's laid low By her body in the isle of mist I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide They brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride They say he will not move from the place where she did fall Once so proud he's beaten now, he will not speak at all
And the cold winds blow He was brave but he's laid low By her body in the isle of mist I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss

Men Are Gettin' Scarce Composer(s): Joe Tex Performer(s): Joe Tex
Girls listen, I'm gonna cool you cooks to something Listen to this Men are gettin scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah Men are gettin' scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah
There used to be a time When a woman could get a man with just her charms Now in order for a woman to get a man She gotta, she gotta take him She gotta take him, she gotta take him She gotta take him right out of another woman's arms
Men are gettin scarce girls Oh their gettin' scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha) And that's mighty scarce
Listen to this I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now she said, she was gonna quit her man Cause he's got a raggedy car Can you get to that, look here, huh Women are funny though Every time her car is runnin' good They say chile, that's my car (laughter) soon as it gets to runnin' bad She say ah I don't want that old car That's his car (laughter)
Listen she gonna say to me She said the other day, she said It runs hot, it burns oil This ole car is beat and rundown The other day the battery fell dead Right in the heart of town, embarrassin' me Let me tell you one thing baby You tell that man to get a tune up on that car Get a new set of spark plugs, some brand new tires And a new water pump and you keep that man 'Cause let me tell you one thing right now
Men are gettin scarce girls Ah their gettin' scarce girls They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha) And that's mighty scarce Hold it band, hold it, hold it a minute
Say Miss Lady, now you just gonna sit there at that table And eat all the barbecue and ain't gonna give me none Say what? Oh not you again Say LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs again She got a greasy mouth this time Come over here and get this greasy mouth woman She reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, Texas Eatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June (laughter) Look here, give me a piece of that barbecue And kiss me with your greasy mouth (laughter)
I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now here's a woman that was gonna quit her man 'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his job Talkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his money She went on to say something like this She say they take tax and more tax and they keep on takin' that tax Why he take so much money from my man We ain't got enough to relax Well let me tell you one thing baby You let that man stay on that ole measely job and let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every week And you keep that man 'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his baby Don't you worry about that Men are gettin' scarce baby They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth You got some women their man ain't got no job Men droppin' off like flies
One Kiss Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Evelyn Laye; and various other artists
In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two Our conventions have been thrown all askew And I know I'm out of date wWhen I seek one mate One faithful lover true
To be really in the fashion today You must have a dozen beaux in your sway But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan I want to wait for just one man
(It's more fun to love 'em all) Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
I have another scheme It's my only dream
One kiss, one man to save it for One love for him alone One word, one vow, and nothing more To tell him I'm his own One magic night within his arms With passion's flower unfurled And all my life I'll love only one man And no other man in the world
(You've been reading stories of romantic glories) (Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
Soon my Knight may find me Softly steal behind me Put me on a horse And carry me away Laugh all you like at me I'll find my man, you'll see
One kiss, one man to save it for One love for him alone One word, one vow, and nothing more To tell him I'm his own One magic night within his arms With passion's flower unfurled And all my life I'll love only one man And no other man in the world
Men Composer(s): Robert Byrne; Alan Schulman Performer(s): The Forester Sisters
They buy you dinner, open your door Other then that, what are they good for? Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They all want a girl just like the girl That married dear old dad, they make me so mad Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They love their toys, they make their noise They're nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys Men! I'm talking 'bout men
If you give 'em what they want, they never fall in love Don't give 'em nothin', they can't get enough Men! I'm talking 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
In the beginning they always aim to please They serve a purpose, they fill a need They ensure survival of the species
They take you for a ride, run out of gas Most of the time they're a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Silver tongue devils, well, they're lying through their teeth Saying anything just to sweep you off your feet Oh yeah, men! talkin' 'bout men Mere mortal men
Manhattan Serenade
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Helen Forrest
and multiple other artists
I have a memory of a lovely refrain And in my heart it will forever remain Our song was like a blue white gem My darling, do you remember?
That night in Manhattan was the start of it We lived it and we loved every part of it The glow of moonlight in the park The lights that spell your name The autumn breeze that fanned the spark That set our hearts aflame
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star We made it without touching a handlebar And I gave you my love To the melody of the music, the madness That made our Manhattan serenade
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star We made it without touching a handlebar And I gave you my love To the melody of the music, the madness That made our Manhattan serenade
One Kiss Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Bryan Ferry
Now is the moment Here is the place And soon's the time to go Seein's believin' Or so he thought once Now he's not so sure One kiss - one for the road - what is more? One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from? Doesn't she speak? Where can they co from here? Forever or never Or once in a while Their situation's clear One kiss - never too late to miss One too many a broken-up affair - like this
Spinning together Drifting away The song of love is strange A never ending "See you soon" Too late - the music changed One kiss - what kind of end is this? One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss
Just as he's trying To open the door He fumbles with the key Clumsily playing for time Without words Some things you can only feel One kiss - lost in shade One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade
Men Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; Ronny Scaife Performer(s): Charly McClain; Isaac Hayes
Some men treat you just like a lady Others treat you just like a child And they can drive you so far away Or they can drive you wild Some you wanna show to your mama And some you wouldn't show to your dad Some wanna take you straight to the altar And some just wanna take you to bed
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em Men, we couldn't make it without 'em I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend There's nothin' better than men to hold There's nothin' better than men
Some men are as cold as December Some are 'bout as hot as July Sometimes they fill your life with happiness Sometimes they make you cry
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em Men, we couldn't make it without 'em I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend There's nothin' better than men to hold There's nothin' better than men
One In A Million You Composer(s): Sam Dees Performer(s): Larry Graham; and various other artists
Love had played its games on me so long I started to believe I'd never find anyone Doubt had tried to convince me to give in Said you can't win...
But one day the sun it came a'shinin' through The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue And oh, what a revelation, to see Someone was saying "I love you" to me
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life showed compassion And sent to me a stroke of love called you A one in a million you
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own And life is worth living, again For to love you, to me, is to live
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life, showed compassion And sent to me, a stroke of love, called you A one in a million you
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life, showed compassion And sent to me, a stroke of love called you... A one in a million you, a one in a million.....you
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country On apprend ça dans les écoles à Memphis Tennessee
Et les filles sont belles à te faire tomber à genoux Des noirs dans les églises jouent de la guitare comme des fous Le King Elvis habite un boulevard qui porte son nom Et merci Chuck Berry d'avoir écrit cette chanson
J'ai débarqué ici ma guitare me brûlait les mains Pour tout recommencer depuis le début du chemin Et remplir ma valise pour ramener ici Cette musique sans frontière de Memphis Tennessee
On ne se couche pas ici à Memphis Tennessee Et dans tous les clubs des guitares jouent toute la nuit Si tu aimes le rock, alors tu es d'ici Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
Ouais, un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
One In A Million Composer(s): Jeanette Miles; Tony Williams Performer(s): The Platters
There is one in a million like you A dream in a million come true I confess that I really don't know why But I know that I glow like I do Yes once in a million is par To find someone rare as you are
But now you're around I have really found That there's one in a million like you Fate was surely kind to help my heart find someone like you to be my love I give thinks each day That you came my way
Way out of heaven to try love Yes one in a lifetime you know Above heaven started below Tho it may be rare You and I will share The love that has happened to few For there's one in a million like you

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information to get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee Her home is on the southside, high upon a ridge Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
Help me information more than that I cannot add Only that I miss her and all the fun we had But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
The last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye Marie is only six years old, Information please Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
