Meu Pião Composer(s): Ze do Norte; Tom Jobim Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto
O meu pião ele só roda com ponteira O meu pião ele só roda com ponteira A ponteirinha é rasteirinha pelo chão Ponteirinha é rasteirinha pelo chão O meu pião é feito de goiabeira Ele só roda com ponteira Na palma da minha mão Dança morena No meio desse salão Requebrando o corpo todo No ronco desse pião Dance na mão dance na mão Dance na mão dance na mão Meu pião
É peroba do campo É o nó da madeira Caingá candeia É matita pereira É madeira do vento Tombo na ribanceira É um mistério profundo É um queira ou não queira Queira queira ou não queira É um queira ou não queira queira
Only A Northern Song Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): The Beatles; Jamie Hoover; pHoaming Edison
If you're listening to this song You may think the chords are going wrong But they're not; we just wrote them like that When you're listening late at night You may think the band are not quite right But they are, they just play it like that It doesn't really matter what chords I play What words I say or time of day it is As it's only a Northern song It doesn't matter what clothes I wear Or how I fare or if my hair is brown When it's only a Northern song If you think the harmony Is a little dark and out of key You're correct, there's nobody here And I told you there's no one there
Meu Pequeno Cachoeiro Composer(s): Raúl Sampaio Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
Eu passo a vida recordando De tudo quanto aí deixei Cachoeiro, Cachoeiro Vim ao Rio de Janeiro Pra voltar e não voltei
Mas te confesso na saudade As dores que arranjei pra mim Pois todo o pranto destas mágoas Inda irei juntar às águas do teu Itapemirim
Meu pequeno cachoeiro Vivo só pensando em ti Ai que saudade dessas terras Entre as serras Doce terra onde eu nasci
Recordo a casa onde eu morava O muro alto, o laranjal Meu flamboyant na primavera Que bonito que ele era Dando sombra no quintal
A minha escola, minha rua Os meus primeiros madrigais Ai, como o pensamento voa Ao lembrar da terra boa Coisas que não voltam mais
Meu pequeno Cachoeiro (...)
Sabe, meu Cachoeiro, eu trouxe muita coisa de você E todas essas coisas me fizeram saber crescer E hoje eu me lembro de você Me lembro e me sinto criança outra vez
Only A Lonely Heart Sees Composer(s): Felix Cavaliere; D. Jay Tran Performer(s): Felix Cavaliere
You Soft and lovely are Lighting my dreams like a morning star Rocking my world with your open arms I couldn't feel the sun Looking for something so high above Guess you could say I was blind to love
Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be
You Magic in your eyes Peaceful and clear as a summer day Showed me the truth behind love's disguise I couldn't hear a sound Pure as the melodies ever sung Two strings together that makes us one
Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be
Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be
You Breezin' through my mind Oh no my lady I can't deny You know the way to paradise Could this be torn apart Standing in the pouring rain Running from love when it brings you pain
Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be
Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be Only a lonely heart sees Where love can be
Meu Namorado Composer(s): Edu Lobo; Chico Buarque Performer(s): Edu Lobo
Ele vai me possuindo Não me possuindo Num canto qualquer É como as águas fluindo Fluindo até o fim É bem assim que ele me quer Meu namorado Meu namorado Minha morada É onde for morar você
Ele vai me iluminando Não me iluminando Um atalho sequer Sei que ele vai me guiando Guiando de mansinho Pro caminho que eu quiser Meu namorado Meu namorado Minha morada é onde for morar você
Vejo meu bem com seus olhos E é com meus olhos Que o meu bem me vê
Only A Hobo Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Rod Stewart; and various other artists
As I was out walking on a corner one day I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more
Only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed
Only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down To look up on the world from a hole in the ground To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
Only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Only A Fool Would Say That Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan; Ivy
A world becomes one Of salads and sun Only a fool would say that A boy with a plan A natural man Wearing a white stetson hat Unhand that gun begone There's no one to fire upon If he's holding it high He's telling a lie
Chorus: I heard it was you Talkin' 'bout a world Where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that
The man in the street Draggin' his feet Don't wanna hear the bad news Imagine your face There is his place Standing inside his brown shoes You do his nine to five Drag yourself home half alive And there on the screen A man with a dream
Chorus
Anybody on the street Has murder in his eyes You feel no pain And you're younger Than you realize
Meu Caro Amigo Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime Performer(s): Chico Buarque and various other artists
Meu car amigo me perdoe, por favor Se eu não lhe faço uma visita Mas como agora apareceu um portador Mando notícias nessa fita Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta Muita mutreta pra levar a situação Que a gente vai levando de teimoso e de pirraça E a gente vai tomando que, também, sem cachaça Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu não pretendo provocar Nem atiçar suas saudades Mas acontece que não posso me furtar A lhe contar as novidades Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta É pirueta pra cavar o ganha-pão Que a gente vai cavando só de birra, só de sarro E a gente vai fumando que, também, sem cigarro Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu quis até telefonar Mas a tarifa não tem graça Eu ando aflito pra fazer você ficar A par de tudo que se passa Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta Muita careta pra engolir a transação E a gente tá engolindo cada sapo no caminho E a gente vai se amando que, também, sem um carinho Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu bem queria lhe escrever Mas o correio andou arisco Se permitem, vou tentar lhe remeter Notícias frescas nesse disco Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta A Marieta manda um beijo para os seus Um beijo na família, na Cecília e nas crianças O Francis aproveita pra também mandar lembranças A todo o pessoal Adeus
Only A Dream A Rio Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson; and various other artists
More than a distant land over a shining sea More than the steaming green More than the shining eyes Well they tell me it's only a dream in Rio Nothing could be as sweet as it seems on this very first day down They remind me, "Son, have you so soon forgotten?" Often as not it's rotten inside and the mask soon slips away Strange taste of a tropical fruit, romantic language of the Portuguese Melody on a wooden flute, samba floating in the summer breeze
It's all right, you can stay asleep, you can close your eyes you can trust the people of paradise to call your keeper and tender your good-byes
Oh, what a night, wonderful one in a million frozen fire Brazilian stars Oh, holy southern cross, later on take me way downtown in a tin can Can't come down from the bandstand, I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say Quando a nossa mãe cordar, andaremos ao sol Quando a nossa mãe acordar, cantará pelo sertão Quando a nossa mãe acordar, todos os filhos saberão Todos os filhos saberão e regozijarão
Caught in the rays of the rising sun on the run from the soldier's gun Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild the wild and the hungry child I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio I was there on the very day and my heart came back alive There was more, more than the singing voices more than the upturned faces and more than the shining eyes
But it's more than the shining eye, more than the steaming green more than the hidden hills, more than the concrete Christ more than a distant land over a shining sea more than a hungry child, more like another time Born of a million years, more than a million years
Meu Bem, Meu Mal Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and various other artists
Você é meu ca minho Meu vinho, meu vício Desde o início estava você Meu bálsamo benigno Meu signo, meu guru Porto s eguro, onde eu vou ter Meu mar e minha mãe Meu medo e meu champ anhe Visando o es paço sider al Onde o que eu sou se afoga Meu fumo e minha ioga Você é minha droga Paixão e carnaval Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem...
Oney Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Kyle Jennings
I dedicate this song to the workin' man.... For every man that puts in a hard eight or ten hours a day of work and toil and sweat.... Always got somebody lookin' down his neck.... Tryin' to get more out of 'im than he really ought to have to put in.....
After twenty-nine long years of workin' In this shop with Oney standin' over me Today when that old whistle blows I'll check in all my gear and I'll retire
The superintendent just dropped by and said They'd planned my little get together Then he said I'd never a-made it If old Oney hadn't held me to the fire
I've seen him in my dreams at night And woke up in the mornin' feelin' tired And old Oney don't remember, when I came here How he tried to get me fired
With his folded hands behind him Every mornin' Oney waited at the gate Where he'd rant and rave like I committed murder Clockin' in five minutes late
But today they'll gather 'round me Like I've seen 'em do when any man retires Then old Oney's gonna tell me From now on I'm free to do what I desire
He'll present me with that little old gold watch They give a man at times like this But there's one thing he's not countin' on Today's the day I give old Oney his.
I've been workin', buildin' muscles Oney's just been standin' 'round and gettin' soft And today about four-thirty I'll make up for every good night's sleep I've lost
When I'm gone I'll be remembered As the workin' man who put his point across With a right hand full of knuckles 'Cause today I show old Oney who's the boss
Hmmmm! What time is it? Four thirty! Hey, Oney! Oney! Ha ha ha ha!
One's On The Way Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Loretta Lynn; and various other artists
They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France And Jackie's seen in a discothèque, doin' a brand new dance And the White House social season, should be glitterin' 'n gay
But here in Topeka, the rain is a fallin' The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin' One of 'em a-toddlin' and one is a crawlin' And one's on the way
I'm glad Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act While the TV's showin' Newlyweds, a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka, the screen door's a bangin' The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin' One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' And one's on the way
Now, what was I doin', Jimmy get away from there Darn, there goes the phone Hello honey, what's that you say?
You're bringin' a few ole buddies home? You're callin' from a barn? Get away from there! No, not you honey, I was talkin' to the baby Wait a minute, honey, the door bell Honey, could you stop at the market and... Hello? Hello? Well I'll be
The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib And Better Homes and Garden shows, the modern way to live And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today
Here in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin' The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin' One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord, one's on the way
Métro Composer(s): Robert Lamoureux; Henri Bourtayre; Bob Castella Performer(s): Yves Montand
On a chanté la Tour Eiffel Montmartre et puis l'quartier Javel Paris, c'est grand, c'est beau c'est fou Mais c'est parce qu'il y a dessous Un brave homme d'employé Qui l'matin sur le quai Fait des "huit" compliqués Métro! C'est l'journal à huit francs Qu'on lit d'bout en roulant Gêné par un chapeau Métro! C'est la dame qui s'déplace Pour se voir dans la glace D'un air indifférent Métro! L'chef de train qui s'embête Et joue sur sa trompette Un p'tit air rigolo C'est l'Métro! Le visage de la Capitale N'est pas celui d'la rue Pigalle Ça c'est l'argent, le jeu, l'amour Mais la vie de tous les jours
C'est l'monsieur étourdi Qui s'lève et puis qui crie "Bon sang, j'descend ici Mais attendez, mais attendez!" C'est à six heures du soir A la gare Saint-Lazare La sortie des bureaux Métro! Les trottins qui papotent Les amants qui s'bécotent La dame et son tricot Métro! La fille aux yeux si doux Qu'on suivrait n'importe où Mais qui descend trop tôt C'est l'Métro! Roule, roule toujours Tes chagrins, tes amours Tes joies de tous les jours Métro! Emmène au rendez-vous Les heureux, les jaloux D'un bout à l'autre bout Métro! Qui s'en va, qui revient C'est le sang parisien Toujours vif et nouveau Métro! Ce qui fait que Paris Hier comme aujourd'hui Est toujours aussi beau C'est l'Métro! Ce qui fait que Paris Hier comme aujourd'hui Est toujours aussi beau C'est l'Métro!
Les stations, couleurs vives Les biscuits, la lessive Les petits, les grands panneaux Métro! Rendez-vous à "Glacière" Juste en face des premières A demain mon coco N'oublie pas! Tous les yeux du wagon Fixés sur un g'nou rond Qui s'découvre un peu trop Métro! L'apprenti du plombier Qui nous pose sur le pied Son sac de trente kilos C'est l'Métro!

One Year Of Love Composer(s): John Deacon Performer(s): Queen; Kelly Allyn; Elaine Paige
Just one year of love Is better than a lifetime alone One sentimental moment in your arms Is like a shooting star right through my heart Its always a rainy day without you Im a prisoner of love inside you Im falling apart all around you - yeah My heart cries out to your heart Im lonely but you can save me My hand reaches for to your hand Im cold but you light the fire in me My lips search for your lips Im hungry for your touch Theres so much left unspoken And all I can do is surrender To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much Oooh yes it hurts And pain is so close to pleasure And all I can do is surrender to your love Just surrender to your love Just one year of love Is better than a lifetime alone One sentimental moment in your arms Is like a shooting star right through my heart Its always a rainy day without you Im a prisoner of love inside you Im falling apart all around you And all I can do is surrender
One Wonderful Night (You Told Me You Loved Me) Composer(s): E. Clinton Keithley; Joe Lyons; Clarence M. Jones
From afar in the sky stars were gleaming the moon softly shone from above happy was I in my dreaming, happy in dreams of love in your eyes then the lovelight was beaming yearning was my heart for thee clasped in your arms "One Wonderful Night" You told me you loved me
Seems I hear in the twilight your calling I watch, dear, and wait there for you softly like dew that is falling comes back a love we knew then I know by the throb of my heart, dear just why I'm longing for thee I can't forget "One Wonderful night" You told me you loved me
Love me, love me again, won't you love me again? My heart's yearning I'm lonely, I love, love you only dreaming, dreaming of you always dreaming of you take me back once again, dear to "One wonderful night"
