Ela É Dançarina Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
O nosso amor é tão bom O horário é que nunca combina Eu sou funcionário Ela é dançarina Quando pego o ponto Ela termina
Ou: quando abro o ghichê É quando ela abaixa a cortina Eu sou funcionário Ela é dançarina Abro o meu armário Salta serpentina
Nas questões de casal Não se fala mal da rotina Eu sou funcionário Ela é dançarina Quando caio morto Ela empina Ou quando eu tchum no colchão É quando ela tchan no cenário Ela é dançarina Eu sou funcionário O seu planetário Minha lamparina
No ano dois mil e um Se juntar algum Eu peço licença E a dançarina, enfim Já me jurou Que faz o show Pra mim
Ela é dançarina Eu sou funcionário Quando eu não salário Ela, sim, propina
No ano dois mil e um Se juntar algum Eu peço a Deus do céu uma licença E a dançarina, enfim Já me jurou Que faz o show Pra mim
If You Came Back From Heaven Composer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Richard Landis Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
I wouldn't know what to say I wouldn't know what to do If you came back from Heaven And I could look at you Would I fumble for the words? Would I be a little shy? Would I bust right out with laughter? Or break right down and cry?
Oh, if you came back from Heaven Would it be like it was then? Could we just pick up, where we left off And try it all again? Oh, if you came back from Heaven It would freeze me in my tracks And I hope God knows, if he let you go I'd never send you back
Do your kisses feel the same? Do you still have the same touch? And will you whisper softly 'Cos you've missed me so much? Have you heard all my prayers When I lay down at night? And did you feel my body When I held your pillow tight?
Oh, if you came back from Heaven Would it be like it was then? Could we just pick up, where we left off And try it all again? Oh, if you came back from Heaven It would freeze me in my tracks And I hope God knows, if he let you go I'd never send you back
And if, God forbid You leave this Earth again while I see I hope he knows, if you go You'll be bringing me
Oh, if you came back from Heaven Would it be like it was then? Could we just pick up, where we left off And try it all again? Oh, if you came back from Heaven It would freeze me in my tracks And I hope God knows, if he let you go I'd never send you back
I hope God knows, if he let you go I'd never send you back
If You Belong To Me Composer(s): Steve Lukather; Stan Lynch; David Paich Performer(s): Toto
I left you crying on that angry morning You know I lied Ill always run from anything that loves me to my safe side My world circles round a different sun Thats all burned away I know that youre the only one Now Im walking down some distant street And I know your touch is out of reach
Girl you belong to me I know And it was wrong for me to ever let you go Girl you belong to me I know
Everybody has a lonely moment They cant explain And everybody wants to feed their hunger Without the pain
Theres no shadows in my hiding place Im so locked away Now I wish that I could see your face I know I hurt you when you say were through I never really will get over you cause...
Girl you belong to me I know And it was wrong for me to ever let you go Girl you belong to me I know
If You Believe From the film "There's No Business Like Show Business" (1954) Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Johnnie Ray
Brothers And sisters Listen You non-believers, listen, you better start to believe All you doubters, be "hallelujah shouters", or else you're going to grieve There's no time to wait, you may be too late, so listen You don't know what you're missin' until you start to believe
If you believe that there's a heaven You'll get to heaven, if you believe If you believe that there are angels You'll see the angels, if you believe I'm not making promises to the doubting Thomases But if you believe the Lord can help you The Lord will help you, if you believe (We do, we do, we do) Do you believe? (We do, we do, we do) Do you believe? (We do, we do, we do) Well, Jonah went out one night in a gale Do you believe that? (We do, we do, we do) Soon, he was swallowed up by a whale Do you believe that? (We do, we do, we do) Daniel lay down with lions that roared Noah was on his ark when it poured Moses looked up and he spoke to the Lord Do you believe that? Do you believe that? (We do, we do, we do)
Quiero beber de nuevo el vino aquel el que bebí en tu boca y me embriagué tela sutil de la imaginación que me devuelve el paraíso azul noche sin luz para la tentación cuando olvidé los dioses del perdón y arrojé al mar la ropa del pudor bailaban diablos de la seducción Y eché a correr la sangre en rededor y un alarido mordía el corazón violé las puertas de la corrección murió la vida en brazos del amor y soportar de nuevo el vendaval del que se va y ya no vuelve más y anochecer de nuevo en soledad seca la boca hambrienta de humedad Será nomás que hay que callar cuando el dolor no aguanta más y regresar y recordar hasta volverse experto en olvidar y enmudecer mordiéndose clavándose las uñas hasta sangrar y abofetear la depresión mientras Jesús solloza en un rincon... Quiero beber de nuevo el vino aquel el que bebí de tu boca y me embriagué tela sutil de la imaginación que me devuelve el paraíso azul toda de gris la noche ya murió viuda violando el luto que perdió estoicamente el sol no amaneció porque comprende porque no duermo yo...
If You Asked Me To Composer(s): Diane Warren First release by: Patti Labelle - 1989 Covered by multiple other artists
Used to be that I believed in something Used to be that I believe in love It's been a long time since I've had that feeling I could love someone I could trust someone I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin' I said I'd never let nobody in
But if you asked me to I just might change my mind And let you in my life, forever If you asked me to I just might give my heart And stay here in your arms forever If you asked me to If you asked me to
Somehow ever since I've been around you Can't go back to being on my own Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you That I've found my home That I'm finally home I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin' I said I needed, needed to be free
(But if you asked me to ...)
Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby I need you now Ask me to, I'll do anything for you baby For you baby
If you asked me to I'd let you in my life forever If you asked me to ...
If You And I Could Be As Two Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Them
Was on a Sunday And the autumn leaves were on the ground I kicked my heart When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue The storm was over, my ship sailed through
What is this feeling, a-what can I do?
If you an' I, could be relieved To walk and talk and be deceived I'd give my all and all And more I would do, oh yeah If darlin', only you and I could be as two
If we could dream and by our dreams Sew this wicked world up at the seams I'd give my life and more I would do If darlin', only you and I could be as two
And baby, do you remember All the good times we had together? A-walkin' through the park A-baby then, then we could sing
Give ya' all my money Ev'rything in the world that I had You told me, "That don't mean a thing"
If still in darkness we could run Together, there in that mornin' sun I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you Whoa-yeah If darlin', only you and I could be as two
No se trata de hallar un culpable las historias no acaban porque alguien escriba la palabra "fin" No siempre hay un asesino algunas veces toca morir... lo que viene se va como suele pasar el viento, el viento Márchate si ha llegado la hora date prisa que, como ya sabes es muy impaciente el amor... No malgastes ni un segundo después de daría cuerda al reloj que un cumplido de más no te vaya a robar el tiempo, el tiempo Y no queda nada las espinas, las rosas se las llevó el viento, el tiempo... Ahora sólo la vida te espera con los brazos abiertos y el firme deseo de hacerte feliz Puedes irte cuando quieras no hay muros que te impidan salir... y no mires atrás que te ya a despeinar el viento, el viento Qué difícil decirte "hasta luego' cuando no es el terror de perderte este miedo a no verte jamás Ya no hay puntos suspensivos llegó el rotundo punto final... cuando la soledad sólo espera matar el tiempo, el tiempo Y no queda nada...
If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin') Composer(s): Tommy Collins Performer(s): Faron Young and multiple other artists
If you got a Cadillac, boy And a forty room shack, boy A bucket full of money And a tree full of honey But if you're gettin' no huggin' No smoochin' or muggin' Well, if you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin'
If you're ridin' on a gravy train 'Stead of walkin' down lovers lane You can't make hay, boy You're goin' the wrong way, boy You gotta get a little honey It's better than money Well, if you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin'
If they called you a big man 'Cause you got a lotta "bottom land" If you're kin to the president And you help run the government But if you're gettin' no attention You're better off on a pension Well, if you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cars And you're smokin' them four-bit cigars Well you ain't so well to do That you got a little koo-chi-koo Takes a little bit of smackin' All your life's a-lackin' Well, if you ain't lovin' Well, brother, then you ain't livin'
El Viento Eres Tú Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Santiago Feliú; Silvio Rodríguez
A veces entra en el bosque un silbido veloz que recorre fugaz la penumbra y la luz y los árboles fríos del bosque soy yo
Todas las copas se postran a fin de existir de no hacerlo, deshechas habrían de morir y ese viento que trae la muerte eres tú
Eres la llama que abraza la flor y la violencia del fiero huracán la sombra oscura que sigue mi amor Por qué, por qué tú sigues, di matando este amor que hoy dejas
If We Try Composer(s): Rod Temperton Performer(s): Karen Carpenter
I've been living memories Lost in the warm of your smile Driftin' through the dreams we used to share Thinkin' 'bout the times we spent in love without a care And wishin' you were there
So darlin' if you should feel you're lonely tonight And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side 'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try
Summer time was feelin' good Holdin' the world in our hands Seemed like what we had was growin' strong Never even crossed our minds that love would soon be gone I guess that we were wrong
So darlin' if you should feel you're lonely tonight And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side 'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try
So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight, And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side (I'll be by your side) 'Cause we've got all those memories to guide us And we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try
El Viejo Matías Composer(s): Victor Heredia Performer(s): Victor Heredia; Cuarteto Zupay; Luciano Pereyra
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos corriendo furiosos por el terraplén y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento él se acomodaba su uniforme gris El viejo Matías duerme en cualquier parte un fantasma errante le toca la piel pero cuando llueve sus despojos buscan la estación de chapas de Paso del Rey Es cuco de niños y de no tan niños su figura triste cruzando el andén porque nadie ha visto sus ojos cansados la cruz del olvido temblando en sus pies A veces murmura cosas incoherentes habla de la guerra, imita al cañón y otras veces pone en sus ojos un niño y acuna en sus brazos su bolso marrón Cuando llegan los trenes repletos de obreros se pone contento, brilla su mirar Gorrión de la tarde, quiere hablar con todos y después se queda solo en el andén Se queda mirando las vías vacías la luz que se pierde del tren que pasó y después se aleja murmurando cosas el viejo Matías, ogro del lugar La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos corriendo furiosos por el terraplén y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento él se acomodaba su uniforma gris
If We Only Have Love (Adapted from: Quand On N'a Que l'Amour - 1957) (South-African Version: Om Met Liefde Alleen - 2007) Composer(s): Jacques Brel; Mort Shuman; Eric Blau Performer(s): Elly Stone, Mort Shuman, Shawn Elliott, Alice Whitfield - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
If we only have love Then tomorrow will dawn And the days of our years Will rise on that morn
If we only have love To embrace without fears We will kiss with our eyes We will sleep without tears
If we only have love With our arms open wide Then the young and the old Will stand at our side
If we only have love Love that's falling like rain Then the parched desert earth Will grow green again
If we only have love For the hymn that we shout For the song that we sing Then we'll have a way out
If we only have love We can reach those in pain We can heal all our wounds We can use our own names
If we only have love We can melt all the guns And then give the new world To our daughters and sons
If we only have love Then Jerusalem stands And then death has no shadow There are no foreign lands
If we only have love We will never bow down We'll be tall as the pines Neither heroes nor clowns
If we only have love Then we'll only be men And we'll drink from the Grail To be born once again
Then with nothing at all But the little we are We'll have conquered all time All space, the sun, and the stars
El Viajero Composer(s): A. Segura - A. Algueró
Performer(s): Raphael
Yo quiero ser el viajero De mil caminos sin rumbo Que pateando senderos Llegó a salirse del mundo Aquel viajero estrenaba Cada día un horizonte Cada atardecer el alma Y una estrella cada noche No llevaba ni mochila Ni sombrero ni bastón Su equipaje era su vida Que unas veces era piedra Y otras veces era flor No se paraba más tiempo Que para hacer un amigo Y para envidia del viento Seguía estrenando caminos

If We Can't Be The Same Old Sweethearts (We'll Just Be The Same Old Friends) Composer(s): Jimmie V. Monaco; Joseph McCarthy Performer(s): Perry Como and multiple other artists
If we can't be the same old sweethearts then we'll just be the same old friends!
For I want someone like you just to tell my troubles to my happiness, on you it all depends!
For I've known you too long to forget you and my old dream of love never ends! Though I know you can't be mine we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!
For I've known you too long to forget you and my old dream of love never ends! Though I know you can't be mine we will meet from time to time and we'll just be the same old friends!
El verde de tus ojos y el negro de tu pelo Me trajeron recuerdos tan felices Que contigo yo volveré a vivir El verde de tus ojos y el negro de tu pelo Me trajeron la luz que no existía Y con ella mi amor vuelve a nacer Cuando te vi, pronto comprendí Que mi gran dolor daba paso al amor Ahora sé que siempre tendré los besos Que sin descanso busqué hasta el fin Ya encontré lo que un día yo perdí Vuelvo a sonreír, vuelvo a revivir Hoy será el comienzo de esta ilusión Porque la soledad no volverá
