Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) (French Version: Fume Cette Cigarette - 1974) Composer(s): Merle Travis; Tex Williams First release by: Tex Williams - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists
Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold And the ways of a gentleman I've been told Kind-of-a-guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met The guy that invented that cigarette I'd murder that son-of-a gun in the first degree
It ain't cuz I don't smoke 'em myself and i don't reckon that it'll hinder your health I smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same at a pettin' party or a poker game Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
In a game of chance the other night Old dame fortune was good and right The kings and queens they kept on comin' around
Aw, I was hittin' em good and bettin' 'em high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He kept callin' and layin' his money down
See, he'd raise me then I'd raise him and I'd say to him buddy ya gotta sink or swim Finally called me but didn't raise the bet!
-- Hmmph! I said Aces Full Pal -- I got you! He said, "I'll pay up in a minute or two But right now, i just gotta have another cigarette"
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death
Now the other night I had a date with the cutest little gal in any state A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame
She said she loved me and it seemd to me That things were sorta like they oughtta be So hand in hand we strolled down lovers lane
She was a long way from a chunk of ice And our pettin' party was goin' real nice And I got an idea I might have been there yet
So I give her a kiss and a little squeeze Then she said, "Travis, Excuse me Please But I just gotta have a cigarette"
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death
Canto este poema por tu amor y es un cielo que se desprendió y ha echado a andar Mi soledad irá por vos y llamará con triste voz Lydia susurrará la brisa por el ventanal y temblará tu corazón al recordar ya que solo supe serle fiel al regazo tibio de tu piel Quiero arañar la tempestad quiero saber si el colmenar aún da su miel Lydia susurrará la brisa por el ventanal y temblará tu corazón al recordar
À l'école quand j'étais petit Les grands se cachaient sous leur lit Pour fumer en cachette une cigarette Ils se faufilaient Sans un bruit À la faveur de la nuit Certains d'entre eux fumaient dans les toilettes Le privilège qu'ils m'accordaient C'est moi, le petit, qui craquait Une allumette pour leur cigarette
Fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Fume, fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Et j'entends leur voix me dire Elle revient en souvenir Pour devenir un homme Fume cette cigarette
La surveillante des cours du soir M'a entraîné dans le parloir Je n'ai pas l'impression d'être à la fête Elle dit qu'il faut me rattraper Qu' j'ai besoin d cours particuliers Qu'elle a toujours maté les fortes têtes Elle m'a reçu dans son peignoir M'a demandé si j' voulais boire Et tendu un paquet de cigarettes
Fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Fume, fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Et j'entends sa voix me dire Elles reviennent en souvenir Pour devenir un homme Fume cette cigarette Mais j'ai vraiment fumé plus tard Lorsque j'ai vu Humphrey Bogart Pincer entre ses lèvres une cigarette Identifié à ce héros Je marchais en courbant le dos Je me prenais pour un roi du racket Je n'ai connu que des déboires Je rentrais en toussant le soir Sans la moindre féminine conquête
Fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Fume, fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Et j'entends des voix me dire Elles reviennent en souvenir Pour devenir un homme Fume cette cigarette
Il m'arrive souvent de fumer Des choses plus ou moins bien roulées Qui n' ressemblent pas toujours aux cigarettes Je n'ai rien compris et rien vu Mais un homme je suis devenu Accroché pour toujours aux cigarettes
Fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Fume, fume, fume, fume cette cigarette Et j'entends des voix me dire Elles reviennent en souvenir Pour devenir un homme Fume cette cigarette
Poema 15 Composer(s): Pablo Neruda; Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara; Francesca Ancarola; Mercedes Sosa
Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente y me oyes desde lejos y mi voz no te toca parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca
Me gustas cuando callas y ahi estas como distante y estas como quejandote mariposa del arrullo y me oyes desde lejos y mi voz no te alcanza dejame que me calle con el silencio tuyo
Dejame que te hable tambien con tu silencio claro como una lampara simple como un anillo te pareces a la noche callada y constelada tu silencio, otra estrella tan lejana y sencillo
Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto una palabra entonces una sonrisa bastan y estoy alegre alegre de que no sea cierto
Uma Flor De Verde Pinho Composer(s): José Niza; Manuel Alegre First performance by: Carlos do Carmo - 1976
Eu podia chamar-te pátria minha dar-te o mais lindo nome português podia dar-te um nome de rainha que este amor é de Pedro por Inês
Mas não há forma não há verso não há leito para este fogo amor para este rio Como dizer um coração fora do peito? Meu amor transbordou E eu sem navio
Gostar de ti é um poema que não digo que não há taça amor para este vinho não há guitarra nem cantar de amigo não há flor não há flor de verde pinho
Não há barco nem trigo não há trevo não há palavras para dizer esta canção Gostar de ti é um poema que não escrevo Que há um rio sem leito E eu sem coração
Poem For My Little Lady Composer(s): Mac Davis Performer(s): Kenny Rogers; Bobby Goldsboro
Shes young and soft and kind And she deserves a whole lot better than a guitar picking drifter who never gave a damn And if loving me is all she ever wants some gonna let her And Ive tried to be kind of man She thinks I am
She makes those little kitten sounds and (that) trembles when I love her she makes me feel so bad and strong in me She whispers how she can not wait to be my babys mother Shes the only glimpse of God Ive ever seen
Her mama sure had warned her Never take out with a poet For poets travel rocky roads In search of truth and life
Im the only blemish on Her virgin soul but she dont know it and I thank the Lord shes lying gentle by my side tonight
Smoke On The Water Composer(s): Zeke Clements; Earl Nunn Performer(s): Red Foley and multiple other artists
There will be a sad day comin' for the souls of all mankind They must answer to the people, and it's troublin' their minds Everybody who must fear them will rejoice on that great day When the powers of dictators shall be taken all away
There'll be smoke on the water, on the land and the sea When our army and navy overtakes the enemy There'll be smoke on the mountains where the heathen gods stay And the sun that is risin' will go down on that day
For there is a great destroyer made of fire and flesh and steel Rollin' towards the foes of freedom; they'll go down beneath its wheels There'll be nothin' left but vultures to inhabit all that land When our modern ships and bombers make a graveyard of Japan
There'll be smoke on the water, on the land and the sea When our army and navy overtakes the enemy There'll be smoke on the mountains where the heathen gods stay And the sun that is risin' will go down on that day
Hirohito, 'long with Hitler, will be ridin' on a rail Mussolini'll beg for mercy; as a leader he has failed There'll be no time for pity when the screamin' eagles flies It will be the end of Axis, they must answer with their lives
There'll be smoke on the water, on the land and the sea When our army and navy overtakes the enemy There'll be smoke on the mountains where the heathen gods stay And the sun that is risin' will go down on that day
Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes Motos e fuscas avançam os sinais vermelhos E perdem os verdes, somos uns boçais Queria querer cantar setecentas mil vezes Como são ricos, como são ricos os burgueses E os japoneses, mas tudo é muito mais Será que nunca faremos senão confirmar a incompetência da América Católica Que sempre precisará de ridículos tiranos? Será, que será, que será, que será, será que esta minha estúpida retórica Terá que soar, terá que se ouvir por mais zil anos?
Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes Índios e padres e bichas, negros e mulheres E adolescentes fazem o carnaval Queria querer cantar afinados com eles Silenciar em respeito ao seu transe, num êxtase Ser indecente, mas tudo é muito mau Ou então cada paisano e cada capataz Com sua burrice fará jorrar sangue demais Nos pantanais, nas cidades, caatingas e nos gerais Será que apenas os hermetismos pascoais E os tons e os mil tons, seus sons e seus dons geniais Nos salvam, nos salvarão dessas trevas e nada mais? Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes Morrer e matar de fome, de raiva e de sede São tantas vezes gestos naturais Eu quero aproximar o meu cantar vagabundo Daqueles de velam pela alegria do mundo Indo mais fundo, tins e bens e tais, tudo mais fundo, tins e bens e tais
Smoke On The Water Composer(s): Roger Glover; Richard Blackmore; Ian Gillan; Jon Lord; Ian Paice First release by: Deep Purple - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
We all came down to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with the mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the mothers were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare-gun burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water a fire in the sky Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house it died with an awful sound A funky claude was running in and out pulling kids out the ground When it all was over we had to find another place But Swiss time was running out it seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water a fire in the sky Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel it was empty cold and bare But with the rolling truck stones thing outside making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know well never forget
Smoke on the water a fire in the sky Smoke on the water
Poco A Poco Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Poco a poco, poco a poco Todo se puede lograr Todo se puede alcanzar No existe nada imposible Para el que sabe luchar Todo se puede tener Todo se puede saber Hoy puede estar en tus manos Lo que buscabas ayer Poco a poco, como gira la Tierra Poco a poco, como sale el sol Poco a poco, como pasan las penas Poco a poco, como nace el amor Todos queremos llegar Todos queremos triunfar Y el mundo es solamente Para el que sabe luchar
My Little World Composer(s): Gerhard Heinz First performance by: Waterloo & Robinson - 1976
Birds and bees and apple trees are things Money doesn't buy but sunshine brings Oh how beautiful a day can be When you say the one you love is me Here we are free to go When you say you love me so
I just love my little world I don't need no new sensations All I want is the simple life Loving you the sweet temtation
I just love my little world
We're not rich but everything's fine I'm sure the one I love is mine I don't need to be a millionaire Money doesn't make our love affair Here we are free to go That's the place we love you so
Pocketful Of Miracles Composer(s): James Van Heusen; Sammy Cahn Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Harpers Bizarre
Practicality doesn't int'rest me Love the life that I lead I've got a pocketful of miracles And with a pocketful of miracles One little miracle a day Is all I need
Troubles more or less bother me, I guess When the sun doesn't shine But there's that pocketful of miracles And with a pocketful of miracles The world's a bright and shiny apple That's mine, all mine
I hear sleigh bells ringing Smack in the middle of May I go around like there's snow around I feel so good, it's Christmas everyday Life's a carousel, far as I can tell And I'm ridin' for free
So if you're down and out of miracles I've got a pocketful of miracles And there'll be miracles enough For you and me
I hear sleigh bells ringing Smack in the middle of May I go around like there's snow around I feel so good it's Christmas every day Life's a carousel, far as I can tell And I'm ridin' for free
I've got a pocketful of miracles But if I had to pick a miracle My favorite miracle of all Is you and me
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (Italian Version: Fumo Negli Occhi - 1936) Composer(s): Otto Harbach; Jerome Kern First performance by: Tamara Drasin - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
They asked me how I knew my true love was true I of course replied "something here inside cannot be denied" They said "someday you'll find all who love are blind" When your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed to think they could doubt my love Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide So I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
We'll Live It All Again First performance by: Al Bano & Romina Power - 1976
I remember your face When the first time we kissed How you stardet to blush What you said When you touched my hand And the drives to the beach With the sand on my feet What we drew on the shore It's as it were yesterday
Mi ricordo quei giorni Fino all'alba l'amore Le tue bambole antiche Sorridevano insiame a te E I tuoi corti vestiti Come prati fioriti Che distesi nel vento Mi ridavano la liberà
I'd live it all again Anch'io lo rivivrei Anch'io lo rivivrei We'll live it all again
When we had our first babe How we found her new games How she smiled when she saw me And the first time she called you dad All the good times we had Although some they were bad Through the laughter and pain But the feeling was always there
Mi ricordo quei tempi Quante giuste canzoni Quante maschere in giro E tu sola vicino a me Solitudine in due E cent'anni son pochi Se vivessi di nuovo Io ti sempre risceglierei
Pocket Calculator Composer(s): Karl Bartos; Ralf Hütter; Emil Schult Performer(s): Kraftwerk; and various other artists
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator I'm the operator with my pocket calculator I am adding and subtracting I'm controlling and composing I'm the operator with my pocket calculator I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting I'm controlling and composing By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
Smoke From Your Cigarette Composer(s): Harold Johnson Performer(s): Lillian Leach & The Mellows; The Belmonts
Smoke from your cigarette clouds my eyes Things that you speak of make me realize That you've found someone else to take my place In your heart, in your heart
There was a time you would say I was the only one who could bring Happiness to you or anyone But now those days are gone
Gone are the days when we would say We were meant for each other Gone are the days, those wonderful days When on you kisses I would smother
Smoke from your cigarette clouds my eyes Please don't say it, darling, won't you realize And tell me you'll forgive me Before those days are gone, gone
Pobre De Mí Composer(s): Agustín Lara Performer(s): Javier Solís; and various other artists
Sol de mi vida luz de mis ojos siente mis manos como acarician tu tersa piel Mis pobres manos, alas quebradas crucificadas, crucificadas bajo tus pies
Abre tus brazos maravillosos y entre sollozos bébete mi alma que es para ti Qué culpa tengo de ser tan tuyo de que tu orgullo sea mi condena, pobre de mí
Abre tus brazos maravillosos y entre sollozos bébete mi alma que es para ti Qué culpa tengo de ser tan tuyo de que tu orgullo sea mi condena, pobre de mí
Sobran Las Palabras Composer(s): Braulio A. Garcia First performance by: Braulio - 1976
A veces, hasta sobran las palabras cuando se trata de hablar sencillamente de amor y prefiero la elocuencia de un silencio a esa frase desgastada, que a nada suena en mi voz Ya sé que tú puedes creer que a mí me falta el interés pero a veces las promesas más fervientes sólo tratan de ocultar que está muriendo el amor
Amor, amor, mi amor (amor, amor) tendrías que aceptarme así si ves que no me gusta conversar aprende a interpretar mi ausencia
Amor, amor, mi amor (amor, amor) es todo cuanto sé decir amar es algo más que hacer reír yo sé que llenaré tu vida de amor (amor, amor)
A veces, hasta sobran las palabras cuando se trata de hablar sencillamente de amor y el gesto, que hasta pasa inadvertido puede ser más importante que un juramento ante Dios
Amor, amor, mi amor (amor, amor) tendrías que aceptarme así si ves que no me gusta conversar aprende a interpretar mi ausencia
Amor, amor, mi amor (amor, amor) tendrías que aceptarme así es todo cuanto sé decir amor, amor
PMS Blues Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton
Eve you wicked woman, you done put your curse on me Why didn't you just leave that apple hangin' in the tree You make us hate our husbands, our lovers and our boss Why I can't even count the good friends I've already lost 'Cause of... PMS blues, PMS blues!! I don't even like myself, but it's something I can't help I got those God almighty, slap somebody PMS blues Most times I'm easy going, some say I'm good as gold But when I'm PMS I tell ya, I turn mean and cold you Those not afflicted with it are affected just the same Poor old men didn't have to grin and say "I feel your pain" PMS blues... PMS blues... You know you must forgive us for we care not what we do I got those can't stop crying, dishes flying PMS blues
But you know we can't help it We don't even know the cause But as soon as this part's over, then comes the menopause Oh, Lord... Oh, Lord... We're going to always be a heap of fun Like the devil Taking over my body, suffering, suffering, suffering Everybody's suffering, huh?
But a woman had to write this song, a man would be scared to Lest he be called a chauvenist or just fall victim to Those.... PMS blues!!! You know we'd kill for less than that PMS blues!!!! You don't want to cross my path Cause a pitbull ain't no match or these teeth a clenchin' Fluid retention Head a swellin', can't stop yellin' Got no patience, I'm so hateful PMS blues, premenstrual syndrome Got those moods a swingin', tears a slingin' Nothin' fits me when it hits me Rantin', ravin', misbehavin' PMS blues!!!!
It's the only time in my life I ever think about wishing I'd been a man But you know that only means one thing If I'd have been a man, I'd be somewhere right this very minute With some old cranky, naggin', raggin' hateful woman With those old... PMS blues... PMS blues
I don't want to talk about it, we both could do without it Got those treat your kids bad, don't you talk back Gone ballistic, unrealistic Awful lowdown, bitch to be around... PMS blues!!!
