    Se tu falas muitas palavras sutis
    E gostas de senhas, sussurros, ardis
    A lei tem ouvidos pra te delatar
    Nas pedras do teu próprio lar

    Se trazes no bolso a contravenção
    Muambas, baganas e nem um tostão
    A lei te vigia, bandido infeliz
    Com seus olhos de raio-x

    Se vives nas sombras, frequentas porões
    Se tramas assaltos ou revoluções
    A lei te procura amanhaã de manhã
    Com seu faro de dobermann

    E se definitivamente a sociedade só se tem
    Desprezo e horror
    E mesmo nas galeras és nocivo
    És um estorvo, és um tumor
    A lei fecha o livro, te pregam na cruz
    E depois chamam os urubus

    Se pensas que burlas as normas penais
    Insuflas, agitas e gritas demais
    A lei logo vai te abraçar, infrator
    Com seus braços de estivador
    Se pensas que pensas (etc.)

    Through My Window
    Composer(s): Alar Kotkas - Ilmar Laisaar - Pearu Paulus - Jana Hallas
    First performance by: Sandra Oxenryd - 2006



    When life is a road goin' nowhere
    I'm alone, though you're gonna be right here
    You're my baby
    When life is a road goin' somewhere
    All alone, I have to hold on to go on

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about the sun you made shine?
    What about the rain you cried on my pillow?

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about us? Tell me why
    I still can't see where's the rainbow

    And maybe somebody someday
    Turns back home, but it's gonna be a long way
    It's been a long day
    And maybe somebody someway
    Highs and lows, it's always the same thing anyway

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about the sun you made shine?
    What about the rain you cried on my pillow?

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about us? Tell me why
    I still can't see where's the rainbow

    I can't find the words, lose my nerve
    And grass just turns to stone (Grass just turns to stone)
    When all hopes are high, I have my pride
    Show you what I'm really like inside

    (I'm lookin' through my window)
    What about the sun you made shine?
    What about the rain you cried on my pillow?

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about us? Tell me why
    I still can't see where's the rainbow

    I'm lookin' through my window
    What about us? Tell me why
    I still can't see where's the rainbow
    I still can't see where's the rainbow

    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Se atiras mendigos
    No imundo xadrez
    Com teus inimigos
    E amigos, talvez
    A lei tem motivos
    Pra te confinar
    Nas grades do teu próprio lar

    Se no teu distrito
    Tem farta sessão
    De afogamento, chicote
    Garrote e punção
    A lei tem caprichos
    O que hoje é banal
    Um dia vai dar no jornal

    Se manchas as praças
    Com teus esquadrões
    Sangrando ativistas
    Cambistas, turistas, peões
    A lei abre os olhos
    A lei tem pudor
    E espeta o seu próprio inspetor

    E se definitivamente a sociedade só te tem desprezo e horror
    E mesmo nas galeras és nocivo, és um estorvo, és um tumor
    Que Deus te proteja
    És preso comum
    Na cela faltava esse um

    Station To Station
    Composer(s): David Bowie
    First release by: David Bowie - 1976



    The return of the Thin White Duke
    Throwing darts in lovers' eyes
    Here are we, one magical moment, such is the stuff
    From where dreams are woven
    Bending sound, dredging the ocean, lost in my circle
    Here am I, flashing no colour
    Tall in this room overlooking the ocean

    Here are we, one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth
    There are you, you drive like a demon from station to station
    The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes
    The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes
    The return of the Thin White Duke, making sure white stains

    Once there were mountains on mountains
    And once there were sunbirds to soar with
    And once I could never be down
    Got to keep searching and searching
    Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love?
    Wonder *who*, wonder who, wonder when
    Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
    Drink to the men who protect you and I
    Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high

    Two Times:
    It's not the side-effects of the cocaine
    I'm thinking that it must be love
    It's too late - to be grateful
    It's too late - to be late again
    It's too late - to be hateful
    The European cannon is here

    I must be only one in a million
    I won't let the day pass without her
    It's too late - to be grateful
    It's too late - to be late again
    It's too late - to be hateful
    The European cannon is here

    Should I believe that I've been stricken?
    Does my face show some kind of glow?
    It's too late - to be grateful
    It's too late - to be late again
    It's too late - to be hateful
    The European cannon is here, yes it's here
    It's too late

    It's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
    The European cannon is here

    Hindustan
    Composer(s): Oliver G. Wallace; Harold Weeks



    Camel trappings jingle, harp strings sweetly tingle
    with a sweet voice mingle, underneath the stars
    singing memories are bringing temple bells are ringing calling me a far

    Shades of night are falling, nightingales are calling
    every heart enthralling, underneath the stars
    Sighing, like the night wind dying, soft my heart is crying for my love afar

    Hindustan, where we stopped to rest our tired caravan
    Hindustan, where the painted peacock spread his fan
    Hindustan, where the purple sunbird flashed across
    the sand, Hindustan, where I met her and the world began

    Why Angels Cry
    Composer(s): Peter Yiannakis
    First performance by: Annet Artani - 2006



    When I'm feeling down in this world of madness
    You comfort all my sadness, you soothe away my pain
    'Cause these are trying times, filled with so much sorrow
    I wonder if tomorrow will bring a brighter day

    Why do the angels cry?
    Why doesn't love survive?
    Why do we all just pretend?
    Why do the angels cry?
    Innocent children die
    When will it all ever end?
    Ever end?

    Close your eyes and dream, and visualise a rainbow
    Oh... a place where you can pray for peace and harmony

    Search your heart and find a higher meaning
    Let this be the start, a brand new beginning

    Oh... talking 'bout peace and harmony
    Oh...

    (Why do the angels cry?)
    Why do they cry?
    (Why doesn't love survive?)
    (Why do we all) just pretend?
    Why do the angels cry?
    Innocent children die
    When will it all ever end?
    Ever end?

    J'irai là-bas
    Comme on monte sur un toit
    J'irai là-bas
    Si je sais que tu es là...

    J'irai vers toi
    Sans gants, souliers, ni sherpa
    J'irai vers toi

    Himalaya!

    J'irai là-bas
    Malgré le froid ou la loi...
    J'irai vers toi
    Comme on va au combat

    J'irai vers toi
    Même si tous les chiens aboient...
    J'irai là-bas

    Himalaya

    Roc d'amour
    Le plus haut de la vie
    Sommet blanc du paradis...

    J'irai vers toi
    Comme on supplie pour sa foi
    J'irai là-bas
    Comme on insulte un roi...

    J'irai là-bas
    Si je sais que tu es là...
    J'irai là-bas

    Himalaya!

    Station Man

    Chorus:
    Now have you got yourself a brand new baby
    Don't tell me maybe
    Is it so? I got to know
    What's it gonna be?
    Him or me? Him or me?
    Him or me? Him or me?

    I can still recall when you told me I was all
    Every thing you looked for in a man
    But I know that it's not true
    I've seen the way he looks at you
    And I think you're gonna hang me up again

    chorus

    So if you'd be so kind would you please make up your mind
    I won't share your lovin' with another man
    And if you see things my way
    Could you let me know today
    But if you decide it's him I'll change my plans

    Composer(s): Rupert Holmes
    Performer(s): Rupert Holmes



    Over by the window, there's a pack of cigarettes
    Not my brand you understand
    Sometimes the girl forgets
    She forgets to hide them
    I know who left those smokes behind
    She'll say, oh, he's just a friend
    And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind
    to..

    (chorus)
    Him him him, what's she gonna do about him?
    She's gonna have to live without him
    It's him or it's me, me me
    No one gets to get it for free
    It's me or it's him

    Don't know what he looks like
    Don't know who he is
    Don't know why she thought that I
    would say what's mine is his
    I dont want to own her
    But I can't let her have it both ways
    Three is one too many of us
    She leaves with me or stays
    with..

    (chorus)

    Him him him, what's she gonna do about Him?
    She's gonna have to live without him
    It's him or it's me, me me
    No one gets to get it for free
    It's me or it's him

    If she wants him she can have him
    Just exactly how we once were
    It's goodbye to he and I
    and back to me and her
    Without..

    Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him?
    She's gonna have to live without him
    It's him or it's me, me, me
    No one gets to get it for free
    Time for me to make the girl see
    It's me or it's him

    Hilversum III
    Performer(s): Herman Van Veen



    Vroeger werd gezongen en gefloten in de straat
    had de slagersjongen nog een opera paraat
    de metselaar kon zingend op de steiger staan
    de melkboer lengde fluitend zijn melk een beetje aan

    Hilversum III bestond nog niet
    maar ieder had zijn eigen stem
    Op elke steiger klonk een lied
    van Paljas of Jeruzalem

    Alle venters hadden eigen aria's
    voor sprot en haring, voor begonia's
    Zelfs in fabrieken kwam van overal
    toch weer een liedje door de grote hal

    Hilversum III bestond nog niet
    maar ieder had zijn eigen stem
    Op elke steiger klonk een lied
    van Paljas of Jeruzalem

    Tussen het geratel van machines door
    klonk in de confectie een mooi meisjeskoor
    dromend van de prins van... weet ik veel
    die ze zou ontvoeren naar zijn luchtkasteel

    Hilversum III bestond nog niet
    maar ieder had zijn eigen stem
    Op elke steiger klonk een lied
    van Paljas of Jeruzalem

    Ah...
    The sum of all my fantasies
    That's everything you are to me

    You came around and made my senses fly
    Shook me up when you took me to the sky
    Never thought that I could ever get this high

    Je t'adore and I can't conceal it
    Je t'adore, anyone can see it
    You give me just a little more
    Of everything I've waited for

    Je t'adore, here's my heart, so take it
    Je t'adore, only you can break it
    You got me fallen to the floor
    Any way you want, I'm yours
    (Je t'adore)

    Bye bye to all the lies I've heard
    You made a different kind of girl

    You spun me out and you made my senses fly
    Shook me up when you took me to the sky
    Never thought that I could ever get this high

    Je t'adore and I can't conceal it
    Je t'adore, anyone can see it

    Ooh... je t'adore

    You're the rush that I missed
    Made a wish that I'd feel a kiss
    Just like this

    Je t'adore, yeah, you made me feel it
    Je t'adore, and I really mean it
    You give me just a little more
    Of everything I've waited for
    (Everything I've ever waited for)

    Je t'adore, here's my heart, so take it
    Je t'adore, baby, don't you break it
    You got me fallen to the floor
    Any way you want, I'm yours

    (Oh...)
    Je t'adore

    Hillman
    Composer(s): Benny Martin
    Performer(s): Benny Martin



    I slept on a dirt floor cold and damp
    Strained my eyes by a coal oil lamp
    Chopped up wood for a heatin' stove
    Bathed in a tub behind the store
    Hillman is nature's buddy
    He'll walk bare-footed when the roads are muddy
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo-oo-oo

    Every hillman that I've seen yet
    He knows how to fiddle and to call a set
    They all live happy till life is spent
    And when they kick the bucket, it's an accident
    Hillman is nature's buddy
    He knows everything from a buck to a buzzard
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo

    I judge my friends by the deeds they do
    The side of a beef is a mountain dew
    You can tell when a hillman's got his knot
    He's got three cards on a cement block
    Hillman ain't scared of trouble
    He guards his life with a gun that's double
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

    Daddy worked hard for a dollar a day
    He'll nap that total but he'll never behave
    Friends play holes that Daddy dug
    Want a bath, with a path, no shower, no tub
    Hillman is nature's buddy
    He'll walk bare-footed when the roads are muddy
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo-oo-oo
    Hillman is nature's buddy
    He knows everything from a buck to a buzzard
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo-ooooh
    Hillman ain't scared of trouble
    He guards his life with a gun that's double
    Hillman is nature's buddy-oo-oooh

    The Stately Homes Of England
    Composer(s): Noël Coward
    Performer(s): Noël Coward
    and multiple other artists



    Lord Elder, Lord Borrowmere, Lord Sickert and Lord Camp
    With ev'ry virtue, with ev'ry grace
    Are what avails the sceptred race

    Here you see the four of us
    And there are so many more of us
    Eldest sons that must succeed
    We know how Caesar conquer'd Gaul
    And how to whack a cricket ball
    Apart from this, our education
    Lacks coordination
    Tho' we're young and rather tentative
    We're rip-re-presentative
    Scions of a noble breed
    We are the products of those homes serene and stately
    Which only lately seems to have run to seed!

    The stately homes of England how beautiful they stand
    To prove the upper classes have still the upper hand
    Tho' the fact they have to be rebuilt
    And frequently mortgag'd to the hilt
    Is inclin'd to take the gilt off the gingerbread
    And certainly damps the fun
    Of the eldest son
    But still we won't be beaten
    We'll scrimp and screw and save
    The playing fields of Eton have made us frightfully brave
    And tho' if the Van Dykes have to go
    And we pawn the Bechstein grand
    We'll stand by the stately homes of England

    Have you seen the pick of us
    You may be heartily sick of us
    Still with sense we're all imbued
    Our homes command extensive views
    And with assistance from the Jews
    We have been able to dispose of
    Rows and rows and rows of
    Gainsboroughs and Lawrences
    Some sporting prints of Aunt Florences
    Some of which we rather rude
    Altho' we sometimes flaunt our family conventions
    Our good intentions
    Mustn't be misconstrued

    The stately homes of England we proudly represent
    We only keep them up for Americans to rent
    Tho' the pipes that supply the bathroom burst
    And the lavat'ry makes you fear the worst
    It was used by Charles the first (quite informally)
    And later by George the fourth on a journey north
    The state apartments keep their historical reknown
    It's wiser not to sleep there in case they tumble down
    But still if they ever catch on fire
    Which with any luck they might
    We'll fight for the stately homes of England

    The stately homes of England tho' rather in the lurch
    Provide a lot of chances for psychical research
    There's a ghost of a crazy younger son
    Who murder'd in thirteen fifty one
    An extremely rowdy nun (who resented it)
    And people who come to call
    Meet her in the hall
    The baby in the guest wing who crouches by the grate
    Was wall'd up in the west wing in fourteen twenty eight
    If anyone spots the Queen of Scots in a hand embroider'd shroud
    We're proud of the stately homes of England

    Hillbilly Hollywood
    Composer(s): Vince Melamed; Jim Photoglo
    Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band



    I can still remember my first guitar
    Bright and shiny like a brand new car
    Even took it with me when I went to school
    And I practiced every day till I got real good

    I learned every lick on the radio
    From Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go
    I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues
    Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes

    And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
    Grand ole opry on on a saturday night
    Standing where my heroes stood
    Hillbilly Hollywood

    I played some bars where you never wanna go
    From Oklahoma city down to Tupelo
    My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell
    When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel

    And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
    Grand ole opry on a saturday night
    Standing where my heroes stood
    Hillbilly Hollywood

    And I pray before too long
    They will hear my song

    And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
    Grand ole opry on a saturday night
    Standing where my heroes stood
    I dreamed grand old opry on a saturday night standing . .

    Mum
    Composer(s): Sergey Sukhomlin - Andrey Kostiugov
    First performance by: Polina Smolova - 2006



    All I tell you, Ma – my heart on fire
    Say me no more that he's an arrant liar
    I feel so safe 'cause I know he's good
    The guys before him were a sort of junk food

    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I miss him?
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Yes, I need only him
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I love him?
    So by now my doubts are over
    I know for sure that he's my dream

    I beg you, Ma – some comprehension
    We got like strangers due to the tension
    Just remember yourself in your teens
    And all years after, here is what it means:

    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I miss him?
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Yes, I need only him
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I love him?
    So by now my doubts are over
    I know for sure that he's my...

    Never say me, Mama, he is too dangerous
    Love can make us broken, but it makes us fly
    Let me love him, Mama, don't sigh, don't cry
    Be my friend, oh Mama, the passion is right

    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I miss him?
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Yes, I need only him
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I love him?
    So by now my doubts are over
    I know for sure that he's my...

    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    So by now my doubts are over
    I know for sure that he's my...

    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I miss him?
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Yes, I need only him
    Mama, Mama, Mama
    Can't you see how I love him?
    So by now my doubts are over
    I know for sure that he's my...
    I know for sure that he's my...
    I know for sure that he's my dream

    Hillbilly Girl With The Blues
    Composer(s): Lacy J. Dalton
    Performer(s): Lacy J. Dalton



    Friends I know darn well
    That I'm headed straight for hell
    If I keep on livin' the crazy way I do
    But I really have to say
    I have come a long, long way
    For a hillbilly girl with the blues

    If you think my songs too rough
    Please recall the road's been tough
    Do not judge me, Darlin' till you've worn my shoes
    I have never tried to hide
    How I really feel inside
    I'm just a hillbilly girl with the blues

    Someday soon I'll settle down
    In some quiet little town
    And I won't look back till I leave these blues behind
    I'm gonna play my old guitar
    Praise the Lord and pass the jar
    I'm gonna seek myself a little peace of mind

    Don't ya know these city lights
    Can really blind a country girl
    People often think she's too green to refuse
    But there's nothin' worse than neon
    When the mornin' sun shines through
    To a hillbilly girl, to a hillbilly girl
    To a hillbilly girl with the blues
    With the blues
