Não posso ficar , não posso ficar Nem mais um minuto com você Sinto muito amor, mas não pode ser Moro em Jaçanã Se eu perder esse trem Que sai agora às onze horas Só amanhã de manhã E, além disso, mulher Tem outra coisa Minha mãe não dorme enquanto eu não chegar Sou filho único Tenho minha casa pra olhar Não posso ficar...
I Never Thought It Peculiar Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart Performer(s): The Monkees
I never thought it peculiar That you never gave me a smile I wasn't socially suited To make it worth your while
Oh no and I never thought it peculiar That my heart always beat like a drum Each time I would see you walk by me You were as pretty as they come
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep And wrote on the card "I love you" I don't know why but I do know that I Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar When you stopped to ask me the time And I don't think it's terribly peculiar That now, little girl, you are mine
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep. And wrote on the card "I love you" I don't know why but I do know that I Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar When you stopped to ask me the time And I don't think its terribly peculiar That now, little girl, you are mine That now, little girl, you are mine That now, little girl, you are mine
Earth Song ((Dutch Version: Aardsong (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1997)) Composer(s): Michael Jackson First release by: Michael Jackson - 1995
What about sunrise What about rain What about all the things That you said we were to gain... What about killing fields Is there a time What about all the things That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the blood weve shed before Did you ever stop this notice This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world Look what weve done What about all the peace That you pledge your only son... What about flowering fields Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever stop to notice This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I dont know where we are Although I know weve drifted far
Hey, what about yesterday (what about us) What about the seas (what about us) The heavens are falling down (what about us) I cant even breathe (what about us) What about everything (what about us) I have given you (what about us) What about natures worth (ooo,ooo) Its our planets womb (what about us) What about animals (what about it) Weve turned kingdoms to dust (what about us) What about elephants (what about us) Have we lost their trust (what about us) What about crying whales (what about us) Were ravaging the seas (what about us) What about forest trails (ooo, ooo) Burnt despite our pleas (what about us) What about the holy land (what about it) Torn apart by creed (what about us) What about the common man (what about us) Cant we set him free (what about us) What about children dying (what about us) Cant you hear them cry (what about us) Where do we go wrong (ooo, ooo) Someone tell me why (what about us) What about baby boy (what about it) What about the days (what about us) What about all their joy (what about us) What about the men (what about us) What about the crying man (what about us) What about abraham (what was us) What about death again (ooo, ooo) Do we give a damn
Trem Das Cores Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Quarteto em Cy
A franja da encosta Cor de Laranja Capim rosa chá O mel desses olhos luz Mel de cor ímpar O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra A prata do trem A lua e a estrela Anel de turquesa Os átomos todos dançam Madruga Reluz neblina Criancas cor de romã Entram no vagão O oliva da nuvem chumbo Ficando P'ra trás da manhã E a seda azul do papel Que envolve a maçã As casas tão verde e rosa Que vão passando ao nos ver passar Os dois lados da janela E aquela num tom de azul Quase inesistente azul que não há Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar Teu cabelo preto Explícito objeto Castanhos lábios Ou p'ra ser exato Lábios cor de açaí E aqui trem das cores Sabe os projetos Tocar na central E o céu de um azul Celeste celestial
The Trees Composer(s): Nick Banks - Jarvis Cocker - Candida Doyle - Steve Mackey - Mark Webber Performer(s): Pulp
I took an air rifle Full of buckeye to the ground And it died without a sound
Your skin's so pale Against the fallen autumn leaves No-one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving
I carved your name With a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted Unrecognisable, like our love
You smell of leaf mould And the sweetness of decay Or the incense at the funeral procession here today
And the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving
Ah
Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
Oh, no, I might as well I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah
Oh yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving
Go and tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah
I Never Loved Anyone Composer(s): George "Funky" Brown Performer(s): Steve Conway and multiple other artists
I never loved anyone, any time, any place With anything like the love I feel for you I never saw anyone more than once, maybe twice But I had no ties until my eyes saw you
I may have kissed one or two Three or four, maybe more But after all I didnt fall And who they were I cant recall
For I never loved anyone, any time, any place With anything like the love I feel for you
I may have kissed one or two Three or four, maybe more But after all I didnt fall And who they were I cant recall
I never loved anyone, any time, any place With anything like the love I feel for you For everything that I love I find in you
Trees Composer(s): Joyce Kilmer - Oscar Rasbach First recording/First release: Isham Jones' Orch. - 1930 Covered by multiple other artists
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair Upon whose bosom snow has lain Who intimately lives with rain Poems are made by fools like me But only God can make a tree
I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) Composer(s): Ronnie Shannon First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
You're a no good heart breaker You're a liar and you're a cheat And I don't know why I let you do these things to me My friends keep telling me That you ain't no good But oh, they don't know That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight And I'm stuck like glue Cause I ain't never I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man) (The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought You had run out of fools But I was so wrong You got one that you'll never lose The way you treat me is a shame How could ya hurt me so bad Baby, you know that I'm the best thing That you ever had Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we we're through Cause I ain't never Never, Never, no, no (loved a man) (The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night And I can't even fight I guess I'll never be free Since you got, your hooks, in me

La gente e sola nelle stazioni ai giardini in chiesa e nei bar e nelle scuole la gente sola cova i ricordi di lampade spente da un click nei loro tic Leggi i loro sguardi che ti trapassano questi loro sguardi lanciano S.O.S. Ma come fa la gente sola a stare sola come fa
Vivono in gabbie di solitudine e poi si trasformar hi facce da rugby E fanno rabbia quando per ore rimettono dentro I Juke-box Eleonor Rigby Dimmi dove vanno da dove vengono questa gente sola dimmi dove va Ma come fa la gente sola Sola Sola a stare sola come me Sola
Io sono solo da poche ore ed ancora non sono un Robot" senza parole E il marciapiede si abbassa e se non ritomi fra poco sara una palude Leggi i loro sguardi che ti trapassano questi loro sguardi lanciano S.O.S. Ma come fa la gente sola a stare sola come me Dimmi dove vanno da dove vengono questa gente sola sola come me
I Never Knew Your Name German Title: Wenn Ich Wüßte Wie Du Heißt Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Although we've never, never danced I loved you with just one glance
You were dancing, I was glancing As you passed me on the floor You saw me glancing but you kept dancing Out of the room and through the door
I beg your pardon, but in the garden He placed a flower in your hair But when he kissed you, oh how I missed you Wishing that I were there
Then I dreamed upon a star Wishing I was where you are How I thought the day would never come And when I thought that I was first All at once my bubble burst And I was standing where I started from
To my regret dear, we've never met dear But I love you just the same Although we've never danced I loved you with just one glance And I never, no I never knew your name
To my regret dear, we've never met dear But I love you just the same Although we've never danced I loved you with just one glance And I never, no I never knew your name

I Never Knew Heaven Could Speak Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon Performer(s): Alice Faye and multiple other artists
I never knew heaven could speak, but now I do I've learned it through a conversation with you I never knew heaven could dance, but now I do With every step another little dream comes true

I never knew heaven could hold such tender charms I never knew heaven could be here in my arms
Early One Morning (Traditional) Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri and multiple other artists
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising I heard a maid sing in the valley below "Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me How could you use, a poor maiden so?"
Remember the vows that you made to me truly Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses I've culled from the garden to bind over thee
Here I now wander alone as I wonder Why did you leave me to sigh and complain I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken Why must I here in sorrow remain?
Through yonder grove, by the spring that is running There you and I have so merrily played Kissing and courting and gently sporting Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed
How could you slight so a pretty girl who loves you A pretty girl who loves you so dearly and warm? Though love's folly is surely but a fancy Still it should prove to me sweeter than your scorn
Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while Thus ever ranging, turning and changing Always seeking for a girl that is new
Thus sang the maiden, her sorrows bewailing Thus sang the poor maid in the valley below "Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me How could you use, a poor maiden so?"
