There's No Stopping Us Now Composer(s): Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
There's no stopping us now Now that we found our way There's no stopping us now Our love is here to stay Foolishly we've been apart Breaking each other's heart Stubbornness and foolish pride Caused us to push love aside The loneliness from being apart Opened up our eyes To the love that was always there Deep inside
Now that we've faced the unknown And we can't make it alone We're closer together more now then ever For now that we've found love We've got to hold on love
There's no stopping us now This time love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Now we have found our way The precious hours we have lost We'll never regain But together we'll fill the hours that remain The loneliness we have known We'll push behind Together forever We'll make up for all lost time
Now we're in each other's arms Nothing can do us harm Nothing can shake us Nothing can break us We'll be together Forever and ever
There's no stopping us now This time love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Together we've found the way Never again shall foolish pride keep us apart Never again shall stubbornness break our hearts There's no stopping us now Now that we've found our way Would you believe? There's no stopping us now Now that love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Now that we've...

Rutina (Rotina) Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
O sol ainda não chegou
e o relógio há pouco despertou Da porta do quarto ainda na penumbra eu olho outra vez Seu corpo adormecido e mal coberto quase não me deixa ir Fecho os olhos, viro as costas, num esforço eu tenho que sair
A mesma condução, à mesma hora, os mesmos pensamentos chegam Meu corpo está comigo mas meu pensamento ainda está com ela Agora eu imagino suas mãos buscando em vão minha presença Em nossa cama Eu gostaria de saber o que ela pensa
Estou chegando para mais um dia de trabalho que começa Enquanto lá em casa ela desperta pra rotina do seu dia Eu quase posso ver a água morna a deslizar no corpo dela Em gotas coloridas pela luz que vem do vidro da janela
Um jeito nos cabelos colocando seu perfume preferido Diante do espelho aquilo tudo ela esconde num vestido Depois de um café o olhar distante ela se perde pensativa Acende um cigarro, e olhando a fumaça pára e pensa em mim
O dia vai passando, a tarde vem e pela noite eu espero Vou contando as horas que me separam de tudo aquilo que mais quero Meu rosto se ilumina num sorriso no momento de ir embora Não posso controlar minha vontande de sair correndo agora
O trânsito me faz perder a calma e o pensamento continua Pensando em minha volta, muitas vezes ela vem olhar a rua A porta se abre de repente e eu me envolvo inteiro nos seus braços
E o nosso amor começa E só termina quando nasce mais um dia Um dia de rotina (O sol ainda não chegou)
Theres No Room In My Heart For The Blues Composer(s): Zeb Turner - Fred Rose Performer(s): Hank Williams
There's no room in my heart for the blues Love is satisfied to either win or lose Darling if our pathway parts Let's that be no broken hearts There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my mem'ry for tears We left back on and be forgotten souvenirs If your hungry heart forgets Let there be no sad regrets There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my life for a sigh We'll be strong enough to face our last goodbye Darling when our romance ends Let us part as best of friends There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my heart for the blues Love is satisfied to either win or lose Darling if our pathway parts Let's that be no broken hearts There's no room in my heart for the blues
Un altro sole, quando viene sera Sta colorando l'anima mia Potrebbe essere, di chi spera Ma nel mio cuore é solo mia
E mi fa piangere sospirare Cosí celeste, she's my baby E mi fa ridere bestemmiare E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Gli occhi si allagano, e la ninfea Galleggia in fiore, che maggio sia E per amarti meglio, amore mio Figliamo rose lo voglio anch'io
Lei mi fa vivere e accende il giorno Cosí celeste, she's my baby Come un pianeta che mi gira intorno E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Uh uh uh uh Lei lo fa come avesse sete Uh uh uh uh Oh I don't know Sulla mia pelle lieve come neve
E mi fa piangere sospirare Cosí celeste, she's my baby E mi fa ridere e bestemmiare E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby Lei mi fa vivere e accende il giorno Cosí celeste, she's my baby Come un pianeta che mi gira intorno E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Potrebbe essere, di chi spera Ma nel mio cuore, ... é mia
Ruta Del Coya Composer(s): León Gieco; Luis Gurevich Performer(s): Mitimaes
todo el tema el riff Dios sol, Dios agua que cae del cielo gris al alma Viento que arrastra voces que no se quieren ir Río que se llevó sangre, barro y paja por sueños
Dios sal, Dios lágrimas Un horizonte en cruz en Jama Allá bien alto, donde el metal no alcanza, crecen tus alas, nieve quieta y naciente el alba
Dios luz, Dios luna Un campo de estrellas, altura... Rosa de estos vientos en América inmolada Ruta del coya, rabia de siglos en marcha
Dios paz, Dios guerra Le dan sepultura en tierra Van reclamándole una primavera por nacer Muerte y salvación por el camino del ángel
Dios da, Dios quita Le cuesta ver donde está la herida Nunca hubo un lugar donde se le pueda preguntar
No Place On Earth Like Australia Performer(s): Slim Dusty
Let them sing away of sunny California Sing of Texas and New York and Tennessee Let them sing of all the joys of Oklahoma But it's good old Oz, that's the place for me
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
There's the cloudless, clear blue skies of sunny Queensland With its beaches and its magic tropic isles There's the wealth of Weipa, Greenvale and Mount Isa And the sugar canes so green when nature smiles
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Aren't you proud that you are living in Australia With its golden west, its cattle and its sheep With Mount Newman and Tom Price in West Australia Where the wheels of progress never, ever sleep
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Oh there's everything on Earth in our Australia There's our Arnhem Land, the land of rock and ridge Oh I'd waste your time to sing of San Francisco When there's Sydney, with its harbour and its bridge
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Cose Della Vita Performer(s): Eros Ramazotti & Tina Turner
Sono umane situazioni quei momenti fra di noi I distacchi e i ritorni Da caprici niente poi Già ... come vedi Sto pensando a te ... si ... da un po Sono umane condizioni Stare bene oppure no Può dipendere dai giorni Dalle nostalgie che ho Già ... come vedi Sto pensando a te Come se questo tempo non fosse passato mai Dove siamo stati, cosa siamo poi Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi Sto pensando a te Sto pensando a noi Sono cose della vita Vanno prese un po cosi È già stata una fatica Arrivare fino qui Già ... come vedi Io sto ancora in piedi Perché Sono umani tutti i sogni miei Con le mani io li prenderei, si perché Sono umani questi sogni miei Con le mani io li prenderei Sono cose della vita Ma la vita poi dovè Se da quando è partita Un inseguimento è Già ... come vedi Sto pensando anchora a te Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla E se prendo le curve del cuore sbandando un po voglio provocarla anche adesso che Sto pensando a te Sto pensando a noi Da un po ... Già Da un po ...
There's No Place Like London Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Gerard Kenny First release by: Shirley Bassey - 1986
There's no place like London There's no place at all The east or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
When you walk down the street Feel the history under your feet From the top of St. Paul's To the old market stores All in all it's my cup of tea
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
See them changing the guard When it's raining as hard as can be I don't care who you are You don't have to go far To get treated like royalty
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
Take Paris in the spring Take New York in the fall But I'd leave them behind For the best of them all
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end
There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London London's capital There's no place like London town
Cosa Vuol Dire Una Lacrima Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Cosa c'è dietro una lacrima sarà un colpo di vento chissà è lì nei suoi occhi che luccica viene giù mentre parla con lui stiamo bene io e te non ci lasceremo mai da lontano si vede già il tram lui le chiede che cos'ha e domani cosa fa lei si volta e siam tutti sul tram Cosa vuol dire una lacrima che continua a cadere anche sul tram in mezzo alla gente antipatica tutti tristi con le facce da bar ma perché non parli più non ci lasceremo mai lei lo guarda e si sposta più in là occhi neri di Gesù sono il re della città su di un tram che nel traffico non va E' passato tanto tempo ormai che se ci penso mi spavento stesse strade, piazze, stessi bar noi più soli dentro Cosa vuol dire una lacrima e perché non è uguale anche per me per me che ogni giorno ho una maschera soprattutto quando parlo con te io che non ho pianto mai perché non ho amato mai che quando penso, penso sempre a te a te che non ho detto mai che tutto quello che mi dai e che adesso ho bisogno di te
Russians Composer(s): Sergei Prokofiev; Sting Performer(s): Sting; and various other artists
In Europe and America
there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie that we don't believe anymore Mr. Reagan says we will protect you I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me, and you Is if the Russians love their children too
Cosa Sono Le Nuvole
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno - P.P. Pasolini
Performer(s): Domenico Modugno; Stefano Battaglia
Che io possa esser dannato se non ti amo e se così non fosse non capirei più niente tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
ahh ma l'erba soavemente delicata di un profumo che da gli spasimi ahh tu non fossi mai nata tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
il derubato che sorride ruba qualcosa al ladro ma il derubato che piange ruba qualcosa a se stesso perciò io vi dico finché sorriderò tu non sarai perduta
ma queste son parole e non ho mai sentito che un cuore, un cuore affranto si cura l'unico e tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
Russian Rose Composer(s): Charles; Miller Performer(s): Joe Loss; Donald Peers; Monte Ray; Anne Shelton
Cant you hear me calling, while your tears are falling Where the river Volga flows Though your heart is filled with pain, my lovely Russian Rose?
Now the skies are overcast but well find peace at last To live in sweet repose Then your tears wont be in vain, my lovely Russian Rose
Soon the day will come when you and I Will both be free to live, to live and laugh and love forever I will come and find you, break the chains that bind you When the buds peep through the snow You will surely bloom again, my lovely Russian Rose
There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance)
There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance) Composer(s): Frank Crumit - Burt Curtis Performer(s): Frank Crumit
I used to be as happy as a squirrel in a tree Till a man who sold insurance made a nervous wreck of me He followed me persistently and if I'm put away That bird who sold insurance made me what I am today
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He will follow you and fret you But remember he will get you For he gets us all in the end
In spite of every way I tried to leave him in the lurch He chased me in the subway and he followed me to church I even spent a night in jail in my desire to hide But in the morning George Insurance was waiting just outside
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He'll be sweeter than molasses But when he puts on his glasses He gets us all in the end
One day at Coney Island when I went in for a swim A man swam up beside me who was no-on else but him Said he to me "I'm glad to see you love the ocean wave But our 20-year endowment is the only way to save"
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He's always bright and snappy And no wonder that he's happy For he gets us all in the end
One day I saw him coming so I quickly climbed a tree But George Insurance saw me too and climbed up after me Said he to me up in the tree: "I'm fond of nature too But our 20-year endowment is the policy for you"
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend And the harder that you make it Believe me he can take it For he gets us all in the end
Cosa Hai Messo Nel Caffè Composer(s): G. Bigazzi; Riccardo Del Turco Performer(s): Riccardo Del Turco
M'hai detto vieni su da me l'inverno è caldo su da me non senti il freddo che fa in questa nostra città Perchè non vieni su da me saremo soli io e te ti posso offrire un caffè in fondo che male c'è
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è
Non so neppure che giorno è ma tutti i giorni sarò da te è un'abitudine ormai che non so perdere, sai
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è
Stamani,amore,pensando a te il primo fiorem'ha detto che l'inverno ormai se ne va ma tu rimani con me
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è Se c'è un veleno morirò Se c'è un veleno morirò
Rush Hour Composer(s): Peter Rafelson; Jane Wiedlin Performer(s): Jane Wiedlin
Something's coming over me I'm so dizzy I can't see Can't make out the forest for the trees My heart is beating faster Now as the traffic's slowing down Suddenly I'm all alone with you
It's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Feel it getting hot in here Feel me getting close to you, Dear Slow motion, moving you, moving me Now your lips are touching mine And in your eyes that certain shine Honey, I know just where you're taking me
It's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Oh, it's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me You got me in the rush hour Ooh, you send me We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me You got me, you got me Ooh, you send me We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me
There's No One Quite Like Grandma Composer(s): Gordon Lorenz Performer(s): St. Winifred's School Choir
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
There's no one quite like Grandma And I know you will agree That she always is a friend to you And she's a friend to me There's no one quite like Grandma She's there in times of need Before it's bedtime, on her knee To us a book she'll read
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
And one day when we're older We'll look back and say There's no one quite like Grandma She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do
There's no one quite like Grandma A love we always share At party time and Christmas too We know that she'll be there There's no one quite like Grandma She always has a smile She never hurries us along Just stays a little while
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
And one day when we're older We'll look back and say There's no one quite like Grandma She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Grandma, we love you And we know you love us too
'Cos I Love That Rock 'N' Roll Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Where has all that rock'n'roll gone Oh won't somebody tell me where? 'cos it used to be when I was young That you could hear them playing it everywhere But now it seems they're all so hooked on fashion The music's taken second place Everyone it seems has one obsession To beat the others in the race And it just don't feel right to me No no it just don't feel right to me
'cos I love that rock'n'roll too much And I don't wanna see it ever waving goodbye Yeah I love that rock'n'roll too too much And I couldn't bear to see it go by Rock'n'roll you're too much to deny
Oh where has all that music gone There must be some mistake From something that was so much fun They were burning bridges in their wake O.k. everything has got to keep changing I know it has to be that way But isn't it too high a price we're paying We're losing most of yesterday And it just don't feel right to me
