Vio secarse el sudor de sus sábanas y apagarse poco a poco su candil Planeó una huida despacio, lentamente para una noche, por ejemplo en abril
Ahorcaría su corbata y dejaría colgado su horario en la pared Y esa tela de araña que se metió en su frente le dejaría, posiblemente, de doler
Tenía ganas de luchar... yo que sé de hacerse una remuda en el alma cualquier sábado y emprender una vida tan bella como cien televisores apagados
Ella tenía un libro abierto entre las manos y la mirada prendida entre dos páginas El reloj daba la hora por costumbre y no pasaba nada, nunca nada
"Ya sé, mujer, nos preocupan los niños el colegio, los plazos, la casa en el campo" y se hundía en el sillón, sintiéndose vencido como letras de cambio
This World Is Not My Home (Traditional) Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go I know he'll take me through, though I am weak and poor And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I have a loving Mother just over in Gloryland And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waiting now for me in Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally The saints on every hand are shouting victory Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from Heaven's shore And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Plan B Composer(s): Jimmy Paterson; Kevin Rowland Performer(s): Dexys Midnight Runners
You've always been searching for something But everything seems so so-so Tightly close your eyes Hold out your hand We'll make a stand Forget their plans and their demands
Plan B They're testing you - but don't worry
Plan B This week I'm strong enough for two I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything It starts off just joking and then they stop talking to you and that's the worst thing of all The worst thing of all Whispers more than loud enough Try to make you feel not good enough Try this Don't believe your eyes Hold out your hand We'll make a stand Forget their plans and their demands
Plan B Bill Withers was good to me
Plan B Pretend I'm Bill and lean on me I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything
Plan B Hold on to me
Plan B No don't be nervous Just trust in me I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie Tant que cette eau coulera doucement Vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie Je t'aimerai, me répétait Sylvie L'eau coule encore, elle a changé pourtant Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
Sleep Song Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Hot Tuna
Sure a lot smaller every day. Wonder why we feel this way You don't know that I've got nothing left to say I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I feel that longing loud and clear. Dead end streets and I lay here When your flying you've got nothing left to fear I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees But life keeps breathing gaily as you please Hey now silver birches lying by the road Branches lined against the winter snow
We left the shelter yesterday. After we had played all day You can find that I've got nothing left to say 'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't not way to feel 'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Plain Jane Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Bobby Darin
My plain Jane never wear no lipstick or paint You know she'll never try to be what she ain't Come early in the mornin' you can hear the fella's call (woo!) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight so we can have a ball
(Yes, sir now) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me
Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long And when you take a good look at her her shape seems all wrong But she got this little somethin' that's so hard to define And I wish that little somethin' was mine, all mine, all mine! (woo!)
And ol' Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me
(Oh, wee!) (Oh, Yeah!)
I used to go with glamor girls to worship day and night But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do
(won't cha now) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me I say, spend some time with me Woo!, Plain Jane I love her just the same Oh.... Plain Jane.....
Places That Belong To You Composer(s): James Newton Howard; Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; and various other artists
Mornings, Evenings Days that hurry past Dreams that should have lasted Moments, Hours Slipping by as we Told each other secrets
Somehow I'll never let go of the memories Something always seems To remind me Of how it was Of what it was What it was All there was
Laughter, Love songs Footsteps that I hear Make me think you're near me
Poems, pictures Letters never mailed Boats that never sailed
Remember That even though we can't be together We're more for having loved one another We shared the sky We learnt to fly Someday when someone else's arms are around us When time has put some distance between us The years will kindly show Our memories come and go They ebb and flow like the tide
There are quiet places in my heart Ever since we parted Gentle, tender Traces of a song Places that belong to you

Places In My Past Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor; Eric Kloss
There are ladies in my life Lovely ladies in these lazy days And though I never took a wife May I say that I have loved me one or two
Of the people in my past Fading faces in a waking dream And though they never seemed to last very long There are faces I remember From the places in my past I said, all the dead-head miles And the insincere smiles Sometimes I can laugh and cry and I can't remember why But I still love those good times gone by Hold on to them close or let them go I don't know I just seem to sing these songs And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know
Place To Be Composer(s): Nick Drake Performer(s): Nick Drake
When I was younger, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older see it face to face And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you
Junger Tag First performance by: Gitte Hænning - 1973
Die Dunkelheit mit ihren Sorgen Flieht vor dem Tag zu den Sternen hinauf Das erste Licht ruft nach dem Morgen Und die Sonne geht auf
Junger Tag, ich frage dich Was ist dein Geschenk an mich? Bringst du Tränen von gestern zurück Oder neue Liebe und neues Glück? Dreh' dich um und zeig dein Gesicht Junger Tag, enttäusche mich nicht
Durch Zeit und Raum fliegen die Träume Und kämpfen noch mit den Schatten der Nacht Doch Sonnenlicht fällt durch die Bäume Und die Erde erwacht
Junger Tag, ich frage dich Was ist dein Geschenk an mich? Bringst du Tränen von gestern zurück Oder neue Liebe und neues Glück? Dreh' dich um und zeig dein Gesicht Junger Tag, enttäusche mich nicht
Junger Tag, was bringt der Wind Wenn ein neues Licht beginnt? Bringt er Tränen von gestern zurück Oder neue Liebe und neues Glück? Ich bitte dich, erzähle es mir Junger Tag, dann vertraue ich dir
Junger Tag, dann vertraue ich dir Junger Tag, dann vertraue ich dir
Pizzaiolo Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; L. D'Alché Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Il a quitté sa terre natale Tous ses parents et ses amis Par une nuit remplie d'étoiles Entre Sorrente et Amalfi...
Dans sa valise un idéal Qui l'a améné à Paris Tout en haut de la rue Pigalle Par un matin mouillé de pluie...
Il ne savait pas à quel point Il avait de l'or dans ses mains Et tenait ça de son grand- père De faire sauter la pâte en l'air
{Refrain:} Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Criaient en coeur tous les enfants En courant vers lui en chantant! Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Toutes les femmes venaient pour lui Laissant derrière elles leur mari... Il était grand, il était beau Il sentait bon le pain tout chaud Elles l'appelaient Rigoletto
Au petit restaurant "chez tony" Où il commença un lundi Il remplaça un vieux serveur Parti se marier à l'Equateur...
Le soir quand il rentrait chez lui Les plus jolies filles de la nuit Voulaient toutes l'installer chez elles Dans les parfums et la dentelle...
Il préférait sous les étoiles Rêver seul de sa terre natale En compagnie de son grand-père Et faire sauter la pâte en l'air...
{Refrain:} Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Criaient en coeur tous les enfants En courant vers lui en chantant! Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Toutes les femmes venaient pour lui Laissant derrière elles leur mari... Il était grand, il était beau Il sentait bon le pain tout chaud Elles l'appelaient Rigoletto
Mais un jour un Napolitain Roi de l'olive et du raisin Commanda une regina Vous devinez ce qu'arriva...
Le succés fut phénoménal On vint de Londres de Montrèal Et on livra sur des motos Une pizza Rigoletto
{Refrain:} Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Criaient en coeur tous les enfants En courant vers lui en chantant Pizzaiolo! dai! dai! plus haut! Toutes les femmes venaient pour lui Laissant derrière elles leur mari...
Pizza Pie Composer(s): Norman Fox Performer(s): Norman Fox
Well, we were standing on the sidewalk Just admiring the view And we thought that we would go down down And find something to do And we saw this place upon the corner And it looked real swell So we opened the door, we went inside This is what we yelled Now pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i Hey pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i
Well, I got a chick I really dig I'm gonna love her all of my life I'm gonna take her home and marry her And keep her for my wife And when the people come and ask me the question I'm a-gonna tell them why 'Cause she stands in the kitchen And makes me all those great big pizza pies Now pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i Hey pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i
Well-oh-well-oh-well, the time went by, we had some kids And they're the apple of my eye And they're growing big and strong and tall They got their heads right up to the sky And some may wonder why they're so healhty This is my reply 'Cause they were born in bread and always fed On great big pizza pie Now pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i Hey pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i
Well-oh-well-oh-well, now I'm getting old Hey brother, and I'm getting ready to die But there's one request that I must make Before I hit the sky And that request is something no man in his right mind Did not deny 'Cause when they put me six feet under I'm taking a great big pizza pie Now pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i Hey pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i Hey pizza pie-i-i-i-i-i-i-i
Tourada Composer(s): Fernando Tordo; Ary dos Santos First performance by: Fernando Tordo - 1973
Não importa sol ou sombra camarotes ou barreiras toureamos ombro a ombro as feras Ninguém nos leva ao engano toureamos mano a mano só nos podem causar dano espera
Entram guizos chocas e capotes e mantilhas pretas entram espadas chifres e derrotes e alguns poetas entram bravos cravos e dichotes porque tudo o mais são tretas
Entram vacas depois dos forcados que não pegam nada Soam brados e olés dos nabos que não pagam nada e só ficam os peões de brega cuja profissão não pega
Com bandarilhas de esperança afugentamos a fera estamos na praça da Primavera
Nós vamos pegar o mundo pelos cornos da desgraça e fazermos da tristeza graça
Entram velhas doidas e turistas entram excursões entram benefícios e cronistas entram aldrabões entram marialvas e coristas entram galifões de crista
Entram cavaleiros à garupa do seu heroísmo entra aquela música maluca do passodoblismo entra a aficionada e a caduca mais o snobismo e cismo...
Entram empresários moralistas entram frustrações entram antiquários e fadistas e contradições e entra muito dólar muita gente que dá lucro as milhões
Pivete Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime
No sinal fechado Ele vende chiclete Capricha na flanela E se chama Pelé Pinta na janela Batalha algum trocado Aponta um canivete E até Dobra a Carioca, olerê Desce a Frei Caneca, olará Se manda pra Tijuca Sobe o Borel Meio se maloca Agita numa boca Descola uma mutuca E um papel Sonha aquela mina, olerê Prancha, parafina, olará Dorme gente fina Acorda pinel
Zanza na sarjeta Fatura uma besteira E tem as pernas tortas E se chama Mané Arromba uma porta Faz ligação direta Engata uma primeira E até Dobra a Carioca, olerê Desce a Frei Caneca, olará Se manda pra Tijuca Na contramão Dança pára-lama Já era pára-choque Agora ele se chama Emersão Sobe no passeio, olerê Pega no recreio, olará Não se liga em freio Nem direção
No sinal fechado Ele transa chiclete E se chama pivete E pinta na janela Capricha na flanela Descola uma bereta Batalha na sarjeta E tem as pernas tortas
