The Colour Of Love
Composer(s): Barry J. Eastmond - Billy Ocean - Jolyon Skinner - Wayne Brathwaite
Performer(s): Billy Ocean



Ooh ooh ooh

If I had to paint a pictures
To show the world how love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony
It would be a reality
'Cause its only what's inside of my heart
You would see I've always loved you right from the very start

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colours of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

And oh though many may try to keep us apart
Oh the colours that I see in you will shine a light to see us through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you Ooh ooh ooh

Oh what is the colour of love oh tell me tell me
Oh I wanna know I wanna know - when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect paining of love forever true

Car Cette Chanson-Là
Composer(s): Yanni Spanos - Pierre Louki
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim; Jean-Claude Pascal



Le soir quand tout se tait par delà ma fenêtre
il est une chanson qui s'éveille à cent tours
Il est une chanson qui malgré moi pénètre
car cette chanson-là racontait mes amours

Je ne sais plus très bien comment elle commence
je sais qu'on y parlait de roses et de lilas
C'était un peu idiot, c'était un peu romance
Souvent tu répétais tralalala lala

J'entends ta voix encore qui me poursuit sans cesse
Ta bouche s'est enfuie, mais l'heure est toujours là
Qu'importe sa valeur, qu'importent ses faiblesses?
Car cette chanson-là, tu la chantais pour moi

Alors, si par hasard tu passes dans la rue
dis-toi que ta chanson dort chez moi chaque nuit
Tous les matins partis, tous les soirs revenus
tu peux les retrouver si le cœur te le dit

Tu peux les retrouver, mes larmes, mes sourires
Je sais qu'elle parlait de roses et de lilas
Mais toi, qui chantais mal, toi seul pourrais me dire
ce qu'il y avait après tralalala lala

E Tu
Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni / Antonio Coggio)
Performer(s): Claudio Baglioni; Michéal Castaldo; Marco Carta



Accoccolati ad ascoltare il mare
Qanto tempo siamo stati
Senza fiatare...
Seguire il tuo profilo con un dito
Mentre il vento accarezzava piano
Il tuo vestito...
E tu
Fatta di sguardi tu
E di sorrisi ingenui tu
Ed io
A piedi nudi io
Sfioravo i tuoi capelli io
E fermarci a giocare
Con una formica
E poi chiudere gli occhi
Non pensare più
Senti freddo anche tu
Senti freddo anche tu
E nascoste nell'ombra della sera poche stelle
Ed un brivido improvviso
Sulla tua pelle...
Poi correre felici a perdifiato
Fare a gara per vedere
Chi resta indietro...
E tu
In un sospiro tu
In ogni mio pensiero tu
Ed io
Restavo zitto io
Per non sciupare tutto io
E baciarti le labbra
Con un filo d'erba
E scoprirti più bella
Coi capelli in su
E mi piaci di più
E mi piaci di più
Forse sei l'amore
E adesso non ci sei che tu
Soltanto tu e sempre tu
Che stai scoppiando dentro il cuore mio
Ed io che cosa mai farei
Se adesso non ci fossi tu
Ad inventare questo amore...
E per gioco noi siam caduti coi vestiti in mare
Ed un bacio e un altro e un altro ancora
Da non poterti dire
Che tu
Pallida e dolce tu
Eri già tutto quanto tu
Ed io
Non ci credevo io
E ti tenevo stretta io
Coi vestiti inzuppati
Stare li a scherzare
Poi fermarci stupiti
"Io vorrei... cioè..."
Ho bisogno di te
Ho bisogno di te
Dammi un po' d'amore
E adesso non ci sei che tu
Soltanto tu e sempre tu
Che stai scoppiando dentro il cuore mio
Ed io che cosa mai farei
Se adesso non ci fossi tu
Ad inventare questo amore...

E Tu Strafai
((French Version: Tu Exagères (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour


E tu strafai e in verità
Esattamente mai nessuno saprà
Se è un brutto vizio
Oppure una qualità
Fra l'uno e l'altra si confonde
Cosa vuoi mai, tu vieni e vai
E ti affatichi sempre più che tu puoi
Io sono un figlio e non un uomo per te
La tirannia infondi su di me
E tu strafai ancor di più
Per i pranzetti che mi elabori tu
E ti commuovi se per te mando giù
Pantagrueliche portate
Se dico no per sobrità
Diventi triste, io non insisterò
Sapendo che ne piangeresti sennò
Mangio da capo finché mi strozzerò
E tu strafai, non c'è perché
Nel lucidare tutti i giorni i parquets
Tenendo pronte le pattine per me
Che mi fan perder l'eqiilibrio
A spolverar, a lucidar
Ti dai da far. Se non so dove star
E vado a letto per lasciarti sfogar
Togli i cuscini che sono da cambiar
E tu strafai, che assurdità
Se solo un colpo o due di tosse darò
A letto zitto e buono mi troverò
Con le ventose sulla schiena
Come un buldog sorvegli me
Con il termometro a portata di te
E che lo voglia o no mi fai buttar giù
Quella schifezza che hai preparto tu
E tu strafai, tu strafai
E io non vedo quando la smetterai
Perché è per questo che ti amo
Le tue virtù, la tua allegria
E la freschezza che nascondi per me
Non danno un attimo di noia con te
E se tu esageri, e se tu esageri
È anche vero che piaci a me

Cold Hard Facts Of Life
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner; Ferlin Husky; Stonewall Jackson



I got back in town a day before I'd planned to
I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife
I don't think I'll phone I'll just head on home
For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life
I passed a little winestore on the corner 
I pictured big champagne by candle light
I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in
My mind not on the cold hard facts of life
A stranger stood there laughing by the counter
He said I'll take two bottles of your best
Her husband's out of town and there's a party
He winkled as if to say you know the rest
I left the store two steps behind the stranger
From there to my house his car stayed in sight
But it wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned
I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life
I drove around the block till I was dizzy each time the noise came louder from within
And then I saw our bottle there beside me
And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in
Lord you should've seen their frantic faces
They screamed and cried please put away that knife
I guess I'll go to hell or I'll rot here in the cell
But who taught who the cold hard facts of life
Who taught who the cold hard facts of life

Car 54, Where Are You?
Composer(s): Ned Hiken - J. Strauss



There's a hold up in the Bronx
Brooklyn's broken out in fights
There's a traffic jam in Harlem 
That's backed up to Jackson Heights
There's a scout troop short a child 
Kruschev's due at Idlewild 
Car 54, Where Are You?

Frevo Diabo
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Edú Lobo



É bom, é brabo, é o frevo
Diabo no corpo, torto, corpo
Pára mais não
Fogo no rabo de qualquer cristão
Solta o frevo diabo e adeus procissão
Pelo sinal da santa cruz pandemônio
No dia da padroeira
Não tem romeira, tem, são morenas
Não tem novenas, diabo, a gente é feliz
Não tem sermão, tem não, tem orquestra
E cana, e briga, e fogo, e festa
Na matriz

É o barro, o berro na garganta
Olha a ginga da santa
Devagar com o andor
Meu corpo já não sabe o que faz, Satanás
Diz pra parar, que eu já não posso mais
Diz pra parar, faz um pouco mais
Faz o Diabo
Hoje é que eu me acabo, meu irmão
É para pular, não, para parar, para bulinar
Não, para parar, para arrebentar
Frevo diabo
Hoje é que eu me acabo, meu irmão

E Ti Vengo A Cercare
Composer(s): Franco Battiato
First release by: Franco Battiato - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists


E ti vengo a cercare 
Anche solo per vederti o parlare 
Perché ho bisogno della tua presenza 
Per capire meglio la mia essenza. 
Questo sentimento popolare 
Nasce da meccaniche divine 
Un rapimento mistico e sensuale 
Mi imprigiona a te
Dovrei cambiare l'oggetto dei miei desideri 
Non accontentarmi di piccole gioie quotidiane 
Fare come un eremita 
Che rinuncia a sé
E ti vengo a cercare 
Con la scusa di doverti parlare 
Perché mi piace ciò che pensi e che dici 
Perché in te vedo le mie radici. 
Questo secolo oramai alla fine 
Saturo di parassiti senza dignità 
Mi spinge solo ad essere migliore 
Con più volontà
Emanciparmi dall'incubo delle passioni 
Cercare l'Uno al di sopra del Bene e del Male 
Essere un'immagine divina 
Di questa realtà
E ti vengo a cercare 
Perché sto bene con te 
Perché ho bisogno della tua presenza

The Cold Cold Coast Of Greenland
Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



Farewell and adieu love
I'm bound for to sail
To the cold coast of Greenland
To capture the whale
And there'll be no temptation
To tarry there long
For the wind and the snow love
Will sing us their song

It's a hard sea to travel
Through the storm and the gale
And there's no compensation
But to hunt for the whale
With our oilskins and slickers
And our boots to the knee
We will roll and we'll pitch
Through the cold Greenland sea

Oh the prize that we seek love
Is as bold and as fine
As the fastest of steeds
Or the finest of wine
He could easily send us
With the power of his tail
To a watery grave
Ah the great Greenland whale

Farewell and adieu love
I'm bound for to sail
To the cold coast of Greenland
To capture the whale
And there'll be no temptation
To tarry there long
For the wind and the snow love
Will sing us their song

Lindo capullo de alelí
Si tú supieras mi dolor
Correspondieras a mi amor
Y calmaras mi sufrir
Porque tú sabes que sin tí
La vida es nada para mí
Tú bien lo sabes
Capullito de aleli

No hay en el mundo para mí
Otro capullo de alelí
Que yo le brinde mi pasión
Y que le dé mi corazón
Porque tú eres la mujer
A quien he dado mi querer
Y te juré lindo alelí
Fidelidad hasta morir

Por eso yo te canto a tí
Mi capullito de alelí
Dame tu aroma seductor
Y un poquito de tu amor
Porque tú sabes que sin tí
La vida es nada para mí
Tú bien lo sabes 
Capullito de alelí

Eu tenho amor para dar

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



(They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee Down In Brazil)

Way down among the Brazillians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
"Cause they've got to sell their quota
And the way things are I guess they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
"Cause the planters down in Santos all say No! No! No!
A politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fineda great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

Captured By The Moment
Composer(s): Bill Cuomo - Randy Goodrum - Steve Perry
Performer(s): Steve Perry



Where did he go
The man who said, I have a dream
Where have they gone
The four who sang, to let it be

Jackie's alone
She lost him one November day
L.A. motel
One sad mistake took Sam away

Oh remember then, remember when
Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away

Sweet Janis cried
Lord won't you buy a Benz for me
Jimmy was right
Castles made of sand slip to the sea

Oh remember then, remember when
Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh in the magic of a yesterday

Otis replied
A little tenderness we got to try
One open door
He tried to set the night on fire

Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh in the magic of a yesterday

E Se Domani
((French Version: Les Nuits Sans Toi (Dalida) - 1965))
Composer(s): Carlo Alberto Rossi - Giorgio Calabrese
First release by: Fausto Cigliano - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



E se domani io non potessi rivedere te?
Mettiamo il caso che ti sentissi stanco di me
Quello che basta all'altra gente
Non mi darà nemmeno l'ombra della perduta felicità

E se domani, e sottolineo se
All'improvviso perdessi te
Avrei perduto il mondo intero, non solo te ....

The Coffee Song
Composer(s): Tony Colton - Ray Smith
Performer(s): Cream



There's a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station
And there's a story, a kind of fable
On a card at the corner table

On it is a message, been there some time
It starts off: "The coffee tasted so fine"

It says: "One day, this may find you
These few words may just remind you
We sat here together just to pass time
You said how the coffee tasted so fine"

It goes on to say: "I love you
If you should find this I must hear from you"
It gives a number but the name has faded away
All that is left are just the words: "Maybe someday"

That's the story and the fable
Never leave alone from a corner table

Captured Angel
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Found your heart 
And lost your lover 
Lick your wounds 
And run for cover

Take your time 
There'll be another 
And don't make the same mistake twice 
Unless you can pay the price

All the years 
You spent in growing 
End up one more 
Line you're towing 
Don't look know 
Your age is showing 
And its much too late 
To turn back 
You better pull in the slack

Captured Angel 
Aching to make your break 
Your freedom's at stake 
You better fly now... 
Fly now, fly now 
While your wings are still young 
Your cage door's been flung 
Wide open... 
And I'm hoping you see 
That there's a place beside me 
If you ever need it

Sold your dreams 
For sweet salvation 
Left with righteous indignation 
Now it seems that you face starvation 
And nourishment doesn't come cheap 
You better go back to sleep 

Captured Angel 
Aching to make your break 
Your freedom's at stake 
You better fly now... 
Fly now, fly now 
While your wings are still young 
Your cage door's been flung 
Wide open... 
And I'm hoping you see 
That there's a place beside me 
If you ever need it

E se o oceano incendiar
E se cair neve no sertão
E se o urubu cocorocar
E se o botafogo for campeão
E se o meu dinheiro não faltar
E se o delegado for gentil
E se tiver bife no jantar
E se o carnaval cair em abril
E se o telefone funcionar
E se o pantanal virar pirão
E se o Pão-de-açucar desmanchar
E se tiver sopa pro peão
E se o oceano incendiar
E se o Arapiraca for campeão
E se à meia-noite o sol raiar
E se o meu país for um jardim
E se eu convidá-la pra dançar
E se ela ficar assim assim
E se eu lhe entregar meu coração
E meu coração for um quindim
E se o meu amor gostar então
De mim

The Cocotte
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Cole Porter; Alexis Smith



While the lucky ones stick together
With nothing to curse, but weather
Permit me to tell you of my sad fate
For due to my great discretion
In practising my profession
I suddenly wake up to find, I date

When ladies still had propriety
Women like me were covered with glory
But now since these damned society women
Invaded my territory

A busted, disgusted, cocotte am I
Just a flop from the top to the bottom I
While those fat "femmes du monde"
With the men, who once I owned
Flash around like hell-bound, hippopotomi

???? ???? ???? with their names on their cheques-appeal
To modern men, instead of sex, I now have ex-appeal
What will Ma say to me
When she sees I've turned out to be
Unannoyed, unemployed, cocotte

A cheated, defeated, cocotte am I
On the page, of this age, just a blot am I
Since the girls known as chic
Have invented new technique
I'm afraid, in my trade, not so hot am I

As ladies mock, make love all so delectable
The boys about, won't take me out
I'm too respectable
And on my tombstone, I trust
Will be written "excuse the dust"
Of a past, but a class cocotte
