Amapola ((Adapted from: Amapola (by Miguel Fleta) - 1925)) Composer(s): Joseph LaCalle - C. Caubergh Performer(s): Frank Michael
Versions In Other Languages: 1934 - Amapola (by The Castillians) 1935 - Amapola (by Tino Rossi) 1958 - Amapola (by Will Tura) 1999 - Amapola (by Nana Mouskouri)
Amapola, il était une fois: Toi Petite mélodie Chanson d'amour
Amapola, les mots que tu ne dis pas Ont la mélancolie Des cur trop lourds
Le bleu, le gris, de tes yeux couleur de pluie C'est le reflet des larmes De ceux qui s'aiment Toutes ces larmes Qui te réclament Ta chanson, pour y pleurer quand même
Amapola, l'amour, je ne savais pas Peut longtemps s'endormir Aux creux d'un songe
Et puis, parfois, il s'éveille dans d'autres bras Pour mieux nous souvenir De ses mensonges
Amapola, ces rêves aussi dorment en toi Et nos curs se souviennent Mais ils retiennent Ces larmes là, Amapola Que les violons pleureront par toi
Amapola, Amapola Une chanson pour tous ceux qui s'aiment
Wondering Where The Lions Are
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn;
and various other artists
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
(Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away,
going to sail into eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...

Wonderin' and worryin', will my baby change her mind Wonderin' and worryin', will my baby change her mind I can't make you love me baby, don't know why I keep on tryin'

One thing baby, I want you to understand One thing baby, I want you to understand When you've mistreated me baby, you've misused your best friend
Hoje, eu quero Fazer o meu carnaval Se o tempo passou, espero Que ninguém me leve a mal Mas se o samba quer que eu prossiga Eu não contrario não Com o samba eu não compro briga Do samba eu não abro mão
Amanhã, ninguém sabe Traga-me um violão Antes que o amor acabe Traga-me um violão Traga-me um violão Antes que o amor acabe
Hoje, nada Me cala este violão Eu faço uma batucada Eu faço uma evoluçao Quero ver a tristeza de parte Quero ver o samba ferver No corpo da porta-estandarte Que o meu violão vai trazer
Amanhã ninguém sabe Traga-me a morena Antes que o amor acabe Traga-me uma morena Traga-me uma morena Antes que o amor acabe
Hoje, pena Seria esperar em vão Eu já tenho uma morena Eu já tenho um violão Se o violão insistir, na certa A morena ainda vem dançar A roda fica aberta E a banda vai passar
Amanhã, ninguém sabe No peito de um cantador Mais um canto sempre cabe Eu quero cantar o amor Eu quero cantar o amor Antes que o amor acabe
Wonderful! Wonderful! Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer; Ben Raleigh Performer(s): The Supremes; Ray Burns; Johnny Mathis; The Tymes
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea And we breathe in the cool salty air You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill And we gaze at the earth and stars I turn to you and melt in your arms There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side And we're lost in a world of our own I feel the glow of your unspoken love I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, my love And I say to myself It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, my love

Wonderful World Of Sex Composer(s): Steve Goodman Performer(s): Steve Goodman
I could learn to understand Swahili by myself I could even teach it to my good dog, Ralph I could learn to read you every book up on the shelf I could learn to tell your fortune like the oracle of Delphi
I could learn to tell you every flower by its color I could learn to swim as fast as Johnny Weissmuller But I couldn't never learn to get along without you Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex
You can get love from your papa or your mama You can get warm from a Turkish or a sauna You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna But you get all three when you neck with me
I really must confess it gets me in the solar plexus When I think about the differences there are between the sexes Peanut butter sandwiches are really neat But when you get right down to it you can't compete with Good old double S - E - double X is Camper than batman, bigger than Texas You're concave and I'm convex Welcome to the world of sex
Do I love you, is the Pope Catholic? Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic? Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic? Let's us be heterosexually entwined, we fit like a tailored suit dear
I dig you more than I dig root beer Green Giant peas need a big green pod I spend a lot of time needing your bod Walking around through fields of clover Can't we lie down and talk things over? You never know whats coming off next In the wonderful world of sex
Amando Sobre Os Jornais Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Maria Bethânia
Amando noites afora Fazendo a cama sobre os jornais Um pouco jogados fora Um pouco sábios demais Esparramados no mundo Molhamos o mundo com delícias As nossas peles retintas De notícias
Amando noites a fio Tramando coisas sobre os jornais Fazendo entornar um rio E arder os canaviais Das páginas flageladas Sorrimos, mãos dadas e, inocentes Lavamos os nossos sexos Nas enchentes
Amando noites a fundo Tendo jornais comno cobertor Podendo abalar o mundo No embalo do nosso amor No ardor de tantos abraços Caíram palácios Ruiu um império Os nossos olhos vidrados De mistério

I've held it all inward Lord knows I've tried It's an awful awakenin' In a country boy's life When you look in the mirror In total surprise At the hair on your shoulders And the age in your eyes
Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Well the measure of people Don't understand The pleasures of life In a hillbilly band I got my first guitar When I was fourteen Now I'm crowding thirty And still wearin' jeans
Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

This is a wonderful day It's as bright as a day's ever been There is a big yellow sun looking down On a wonderful scene
Up in the blue sky birds fly And sing our cares away And out of each throat each note Greets a wonderful day

Heaven is found right here on the earth It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around In this wonderful wonderful Wonderful wonderful world

Wonderful Wino Composer(s): Jeff Simmons; Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa; The Muffin Men; Jeff Simmons
L.A. in the summer of '69 I went downtown and bought me some wine I wasted my head on a bottle of juice And now the grapes won't cut me loose Well I'm a wino man Well, don't you know I am? Great god almighty, don't you know I'm a wino man
36, 24, hips about 30 Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty She looked at me and then she raised the thumb And said: "Jam down the road, you funky ass bum" Well I'm a wino man Well, don't you know I am? Great god almighty, don't you know that I'm a wino man
I went to the country And while I was gone I lost control of my body functions On a roller-headed lady's front lawn I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino man And I can't help myself
I've been drinkin' all night till my eyes got red Stumbled on the gutter and busted my head Bugs in my zoot suit, have been scratchin' like a dog Can't stand no water, and I stink like a hog Give me a five dollar bill And an overcoat too Give me a five dollar bill And an overcoat too A five dollar bill and an overcoat too A five dollar bill and a Florsheim shoe
Ámame Ahora, No Mañana Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Ella sólo buscaba un lugar donde anclar y en su ropa llevaba los gritos del mundo Por favor, déjame pasar! que la gente en las calles lastima por nada
Sácate el reloj Ámame ahora, no mañana Ámame ahora, no mañana
Y las manos son bestias tocando un rosal y los besos son tiros que rompen los vidrios no me des, tatuajes de tu amor porque hay tanta mentira y tan poco tiempo
Sácate el reloj Ámame ahora, no mañana Ámame ahora, no mañana
Tengo mis remos clavados en la arena gris no puedo volver, ni puedo seguir por favor no me dejes dormir
Ámame ahora, no mañana Ámame ahora, no mañana
Tengo mis remos clavados en la arena gris no puedo volver, ni puedo seguir por favor no me dejes...
Ámame ahora, no mañana Ámame ahora, no mañana. no mañana, solo ahora, hacelo ahora

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed And then I tell her, as I turn out the light I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"
