Terra Amata Composer(s): Brice Homs - Michel Fugain Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Les yeux dans l'eau La mer à boire Chante l'homme au cur de sanglots Avec deux accords de guitare et dessus quelques mots Sodade si, sodade no
Dans la prison De ma mémoire Y a trop d'amis partis trop tôt S'il faut fermer les yeux pour voir J'en ai déjà vu trop Sodade si, sodade no
ô ma terra amata Brise mes chaînes ou brise mes os L'exil est comme une île à terre Fais de ta rage mon radeau
Démocratie, mon amie Fille à peau noire Viens danser sur mes pays chauds Un tiers du monde abandonné C'est bien trop cher payé Sodade aqui, sodade alèm
ô ma terra amata Brise mes chaînes ou brise mes os L'exil est comme une île à terre Fais de ta rage mon bateau
O ma terra amata Brise mes chaînes ou brise ma voix L'exil est comme une île à terre Fais de ta rage mon combat

Teresinha Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists
O primeiro me chegou Como quem vem do florista Trouxe um bicho de pelúcia Trouxe um broche de ametista Me contou suas viagens E as vantagens que ele tinha Me mostrou o seu relógio Me chamava de rainha Me encontrou tão desarmada Que tocou meu coração Mas não me negava nada E, assustada, eu disse não
O segundo me chegou Como quem chega do bar Trouxe um litro de aguardente Tão amarga de tragar Indagou o meu passado E cheirou minha comida Vasculhou minha gaveta Me chamava de perdida Me encontrou tão desarmada Que arranhou meu coração Mas não me entregava nada E, assustada, eu disse não
O terceiro me chegou Como quem chega do nada Ele não me trouxe nada Também nada perguntou Mal sei como ele se chama Mas entendo o que ele quer Se deitou na minha cama E me chama de mulher Foi chegando sorrateiro E antes que eu dissesse não Se instalou feito um posseiro Dentro do meu coração
My Romance Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers Originally performed by: Gloria Grafton & Donald Novis Covered by various other artists
My romance doesnt have to have a moon in the sky My romance doesnt need a blue lagoon standing by No month of May, no twinkling stars No hideaway, no soft guitars
My romance doesnt need a castle rising in Spain Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dream come true My romance doesnt need a thing, but you
My romance
My romance
Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dream come true My romance doesnt need a thing, but you

Teresa Composer(s): Jack Hoffman - Babe Russin Performer(s): Kay Kyser & His Orch. and multiple other artists
Why am I always yearning for Teresa When there is Peggy, Margarite and Mary Jane Why does my heart keep burnin' for Teresa When I know that lovin' her is all in vain Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete Nevertheless there's only one I dream of Teresa, Teresa my love
Why is he always yearning for Teresa When we have charms and we have arms to love him so, love him so Why does his heart keep burning for Teresa When we'd give all the world just to have him alone for our beau Whenever we are near him our hearts begin to dance For he looks at us so tenderly that we think we stand a chance Nevertheless there's only one he dreams of Teresa, Teresa his love
Why am I always yearning for Teresa When there are other girls that I can be around
Oh how I hate to hear that name Teresa What's she got that I have not I'd like to know
Oh Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete
In spite of it all there's only one he dreams of Teresa
Teresa my love
I haven't found the answer, and chances are I might
If he knew the way to capture her, his future would be bright
My Rifle, My Pony And Me Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Dean Martin and various other artists
The sun is sinkin' in the west The cattle go down to the stream The redwing settles in her nest It's time for a cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyon That's where I long to be With my three good companions Just my rifle, pony, and me
Gonna hang my sombrero On the limb of a tree Comin' home sweetheart darlin' Just my rifle, pony and me
(Whippoorwill in the willow Sings a sweet melody) Ridin' to (Ridin' to) Amarillo (Amarillo) Just my rifle, pony, and me No more cows (no more cows) to be ropin' (to be ropin') No more strays will I see Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin' (she'll be waitin') For my rifle, pony, and me For my rifle, my pony, and me
Green Grass & High Tides Composer(s): Hughie Thomasson Performer(s): Outlaws
In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew round the sun All the stars I've love who died Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask these questions As though I were a king For you have to love, believe and feel Before the burst of tamborines take you there
(chorus) Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you
Those who don't believe me Find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and love As time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them For a piece of mind They helped me find myself Amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there
Tercer Mundo Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Hace algunos años un hombre soño un imperio, un imperio muy grande tenia buena cara y no paraba de hablar con el hombre mas odiado y querido del lugar

Now, if you see a dainty thing with a big engagement ring Youre seeing my regular gal And if her eyes are baby blue and they seem to smile at you Youre seeing my regular gal If shes kind and if shes sweet all the little kiddies on the street Youre seeing my regular pal If you see that certain she strolling arm in arm with me Youre seeing my regular gal
Green Grass Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys; and various other artists
Green grass 'round my window Young leaves that the wind blows Yes, it's springtime, golden sunshine And we're glad, my little love and I Now that summertime is nigh
Carefree kissin' couples Dream away all their troubles 'cause it's springtime, golden sunshine While the bluebirds sing their magic song We will love the summer long
All the winter we've been waitin' Girl and I anticipatin' What we're gonna do with summer overdue Now it's here, we're out together So the weatherman had better Do his best to make a show And bring the sunshine out to grow the
Green grass 'round my window Young leaves that the wind blows Yes, it's springtime, golden sunshine While the bluebirds sing their magic song We will love the summer long
Alguna vez ocurre que nunca amanece y la noche se queda enganchada a mi colchón la increpo: ¡fuera, noche desaparece! y ella, impávida, sigue en sus trece "¡quiero pasión!" Y van pasando noches por dentro y por fuera y ella crece y se crece y engorda como un balón... Le pongo tres cerrojos a la nevera y me voy al sofá que me esperea en el salón Terca noche, terca noche no me conviertas en un avestruz terca noche, terca noche deja que vea algún rayo de luz... Y mi obsesiva amante va y se desparrama... y desborda la cama e inunda todo el salón... Y cuando me descubre se me encarama y su mano me viola y derrama consolación... Y así, noche tras noche su espacio me escora no me queda ni un metro cuadrado salgo al balcón... Y la noche de afuera mira la hora... y la noche de adentro devora mi corazón Terca noche, terca noche...

Musique Musique
I sing to you ma jeune fille a sense of main is deep in me I hope you like the sound of my musique I saw you pass by on the walk ink in and find the words to talk so I will turn my feelings on musique
I give you des chansons d'amour from ancient worlds and old folklore with memories and sound of my musique Just walk beside me hand in hand to my mediterranean land listen to the voice of my musique
I saw you smile inside and clear my way your eyes reflecting sunlight in my heart you look so happy, girlfriend, and so gay so closed to me and yet so far apart I felt if I could take your hand that you were dreamy, understand the reason I sing ma chanson d'amour
Green Fields Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson; Richard Dehr; Frank Miller Performer(s): The Brothers Four; and various other artists
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun Once there were valleys where rivers used to run Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above Once they were part of an everlasting love We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart Where are the green fields that we used to roam?
I'll never know what made you run away How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day I only know there's nothing here for me Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see
Still I'll keep on waiting until you return I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam You can't be happy until you bring it home Home to the green fields and me once again
Tequila Sunrise Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley First release by: Eagles - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
It's another tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hired hand Workin' on the dreams he planned to try The days go by
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in town And she's out runnin' 'round
She wasn't just another woman And I couldn't keep from comin' on It's been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when It comes down to dealin' friends It never ends
Take another shot of courage Wonder why the right words never come You just get numb It's another tequila sunrise,this old world still looks the same Another frame, mm...
