Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos
First release by: Roberto Carlos - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Não adianta nem tentar me esquecer Durante muito tempo em sua vida eu vou viver Detalhes tão pequenos de nós dois São coisas muito grandes pra esquecer E a toda hora vão estar presentes Você vai ver
Se um outro cabeludo aparecer na sua rua E isto lhe trouxer saudades minhas A culpa é sua O ronco barulhento do seu carro A velha calça desbotada ou coisa assim Imediatamente você vai lembrar de mim
Eu sei que um outro deve estar falando ao seu ouvido Palavras de amor como eu falei Mas eu duvido Duvido que ele tenha tanto amor E até os erros do meu português ruim E nessa hora você vai lembrar de mim
À noite envolvida no silêncio do seu quarto Antes de dormir você procura o meu retrato Mas na moldura não sou eu quem lhe sorri Mas você vê o meu sorriso mesmo assim E tudo isso vai fazer você lembrar de mim Se alguém tocar seu corpo como eu Não diga nada Não vá dizer meu nome sem querer à pessoa errada Pensando ter amor nesse momento Desesperada você tenta até o fim E até nesse momento você vai lembrar de mim
Eu sei que esses detalhes vão sumir na longa estrada Do tempo que transforma todo amor em quase nada Mas quase também é mais um detalhe Um grande amor não vai morrer assim Por isso de vez em quando você vai Vai lembrar de mim

1963 - Donne Moi Ma Chance (Richard Anthony)
1963 - Geef Me Nog Een Kans (Marva)
I broke your heart dear, I was untrue
And now I've lost you, what can I do
Fate played its hand, dear, though we did try
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
Our love is ended, you say we're through
You found a new love that's good to you
I hope you're happy, for I'll get by
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
We made our vows, dear, to never part
We laughed, we loved then we crossed our hearts
I was unfaithful, so here am I
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
I've played around, dear, I've had my way
But now I find, dear, I've had to pay
I'll always love you as days go by
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
Upon my pillow last night I lay
I dreamed of bygones and I did pray
But it's all over, we've said goodbye
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
Det Ligger I Luften Composer(s): Tomas Ledin Performer(s): Tomas Ledin
wwåå, det ligger i luften någonting är på gång wwåå, det ligger i luften (wow) kanske natten blir lång
Åå, det ligger i luften någonting är på gång åå, det ligger i luften kanske natten blir lång
någonting hände när du kom in det kände jag bestämt på något obestämt vis svårt och säga exakt vad det är det går inte ta på det går inte och se men vad spelar det för roll huvudsaken är
Åå, det ligger i luften någonting är på gång åå, det ligger i luften kanske natten blir lång
Jag blev galen när du dök upp kanske överdriver jag men det gör väl ingenting för sant och säkert vad är nu det det går inte ta på det går inte och se men vad spelar det för roll huvudsaken är
Åå, det ligger i luften någonting är på gång åå, det ligger i luften kanske natten blir lång
Åå, det ligger i luften åå, det ligger i luften åå, det ligger i luften åå, det ligger i luften

I will find a way to move on Discontent had its day the pleasure's gone If you ask me to describe What I could want with all I've got I'd say good days and thank you's Instead of all these question marks
'Cause when I found you I thought my life was charmed And we'd be safe from what Has happened now has happened now
Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets
No one knows just why I can't stay Starting over's alright the end so far away I know I seem careless My moods they change like the weather So I ask your forgiveness While I pull myself together In the meantime I live I work I wait I hope I still have faith That what was mine can still be mine

In the meantime I live I work I wait I hope I still have faith That what was mine can still be mine
Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets You'll Be Sorry I'll Be Sorry Everybody Will Be Sorry
Det Är Vår
Composer(s): Bobbie Ericson - Eric Sandström
Performer(s): Alice Babs
Det är vår Varje år blir det vår Och en värmande sol väcker upp allt som somnat en gång i fjol
Det är vår i luften i dag Det är vår, så är naturens lag Och västanvinden som kysser kinden viskar det är vår Det är vår i sinnet i dag Det är vår, det är av välbehag Som himlen gråter och solen åter säger det är vår Ur den svartaste mull smyger våren på tå för små gullvivors skull och för blåsippor små Det är vår i hjärtat i dag Det är vår, o ljuva obehag Som blodet bränner var gång vi känner känner det är vår
Ur den svartaste mull smyger våren på tå För små gullvivors skull och för blåsippor små Det är vår i hjärtat i dag Det är vår, o ljuva obehag Som blodet bränner var gång vi känner känner det är vår
A-Plus In Love Composer(s): Johnny Dee Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk
I may make an "F" in English They say my grammar just ain't good enough I may make a "D" in History And that Espaniola, boy, is rough Well I may flank the whole semester But if I do I'll promise stars above That if I make an "E" in Geography Gonna make an "A-plus" in love
Well now my girl just gave me a lecture By showing how to get my home-work up What a crip-course this is The subject was on kisses This is gonna pull my av'rage up But just you wait, exams come tomorrow I'm gonna cram and study till almost two So I can make me an "E" in Geography And "A-plus" in love with you
Well, now the grades ain't out But I know what I've done I've flanked all the courses but my favourite one I played but I made A-plus in love with you
Destiny
Composer(s): Dave Deviller - Gunther Mende - Jennifer Rush
Performer(s): Jennifer Rush
Some say it's sure collision say it's bound to lose
But there's no denying I'm able to choose
I know what leaves me cold and what burns me up
Now this time it's just right I'm very sure
I call it wonder
Something hard to define
Sometimes it's thunder
That strikes my senses hard
He's my destiny and it's hard to see
I want could love him more
He's my destiny gotta hold on me
I'm always back for more
My heart has spent time drifting back and forth in love
Just in what direction was never sure
And than he moved up towards me and towed me in
Nobody's moved me quite like this
I call it wonder
Something hard to define
It's just like thunder
That strikes my senses hard
He's my destiny and it's hard to see
I want could love him more
He's my destiny gotta hold on me
I'm always back for more
Ooh he can turn me round slow me down
Anytime he sees it fit to hold me back
Ooh it's enough
To make me go out of my mind
He's my destiny and it's hard to see
I want could love him more
He's my destiny gotta hold on me
I'm always back for more
It's Lonesome Composer(s): Hank Cochran Performer(s): Billy Walker
I've walked a million miles across this floor And a million times I opened this door But all there ever enters is the blues, hmm It's lonesome without you
I know we just broke up two days ago But it seems a million years or so To get you back there's nothing I wouldn't do, hmm It's lonesome without you
If I could count high enough I'd let you know How many times I wished that you'd walk through that door And love me as only you can do, hmm It's lonesome without you
If I could count high enough I'd let you know How many times I wished that you'd walk through that door And love me as only you can do, hmm It's lonesome without you
Oh, love me as only you can do, hmm It's lonesome without you ...
Destiny
Composer(s): Lawrence Dermer - Gloria Estefan - Emilio Estefan Jr. - Diane Warren
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan
Destiny Has once again suprised me Oh destiny Must want you here beside me Quietly Like the sunrise with its splendor Unexpectedly With a passion strong yet tender
You draw me in Like the moon draws the tide Swept away by this love Taken in by your eyes
If I had to walk away from you I know that it would be no use 'cause you're so deep inside of me Can't deny
I never want to be set free The more you give the more I need You can't change what is meant to be No you can't change destiny Destiny
Destiny Speaks with many voices So eventually We're obliged to make some choices
Oh destiny Who I thought I owned completely Just to toy with me Made me fall in love so deeply
You fill my soul Like the stars fill the sky Brought to life This new world Where I'm held captive inside If I had to walk away from you I know that it would be no use 'cause you're so deep inside of me Can't deny I never want to be set free The more you give the more I need You can't change what is meant to be No, you can't change destiny If I had to walk away from you I know that it would be no use No you can't change destiny Destiny Destiny Destiny

Destination Terre
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Los Angeles
Le bris de glace d'un coup de cristal est crispant
Mais demeure élégant
Le cri du bar qui ferme est déchirant
Tout comme un son "dolby surround"
Quelle que soit la ville, le lieu, l'endroit ou l'heure
Y a toujours l'instant où y' a un blues qui pleure
Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment aiment s'faire du mal
Même à titre expérimental?
Les larmes sont peut-être plus salées
Dans les yeux des amours blessés
Ah quelque soit la nuit, le p'tit jour est là à l'heure
Les brèves de comptoir s'terminent sur des rancurs
... Faut décoller
Destination Terre
Faut r'tomber
Mais sans planer
Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer
Destination Terre
Essayer
De r'trouver
Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité
Affronter l'temps réel
Cett' planète, Destination Terre
Pourquoi les gens sensibles sont souvent
Considérés comm' des mutants?
Ils ressent' trop d'courants, de sentiments
Là où les autres ne font semblant
Quelles que soient leurs vies, le meilleur est ailleurs
Ce monde impossible n'existe que dans leurs curs
... Faut pas rêver
Destination Terre
Faut r'tomber
Mais sans planer
Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer
Destination Terre
Essayer
De r'trouver
Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité
Affronter l'temps réel
Cett' planète, Destination Terre
Apesar De Você Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Hoje você é quem manda Falou, tá falado Não tem discussão A minha gente hoje anda Falando de lado E olhando pro chão, viu Você que inventou de inventar Toda a escuridão Você que inventou o pecado Esqueceu-se de inventar O perdão
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Eu pergunto a você Onde vai se esconder Da enorme euforia Como vai proibir Quando o galo insistir Em cantar Água nova brotando E a gente se amando Sem parar
Quando chegar o momento Esse meu sofrimento Vou cobrar com ljuros, juro Todo esse amor reprimido Esse grito contido Este samba no escuro Você que inventou a tristeza Ora, tenha fineza De desinventar Você vai pagar e é dobrado Cada lágrima rolada Nesse meu penar
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Inda pago pra ver O jardim florescer Qual você não queria Você vai se amargar Vendo o dia raiar Sem lhe pedir licença E eu vou morrer de rir Que esse dia há de vir Antes do que você pensa
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Você vai ter que ver A manhã renascer E esbanjar poesia Como vai se explicar Vendo o céu clarear De repente, impunemente Como vai abafar Nosso coro a cantar Na sua frente
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Você vai se dar mal Etc. e tal

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship We'll have a lovely afternoon Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly Destination moon
Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight The earth is like a toy balloon What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet Destination moon
We'll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon, we two High in the starry blue, I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a space mobile A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon Into the milky way we'll wander while we watch the folks down yonder Oh, we're gonna have a lovely afternoon
Up on the highest constellation we'll look out across the nation 'Cause the earth is like a tiny toy balloon
So away we steal in a space mobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon

Quart of oil, a gallon of gas Baby, I sure do hope it'll last Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love I can't wait to see her smile Only got about ten more miles Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love Well, I passed a truck, passed a bus I must be doing fine I'm so close I can almost feel Her sweet lips on mine If the front tire blows, I got a spare If that one goes, I'll still get there Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love
Well, I crossed the bridge, climbed the hill It only steamed up twice If this old car goes one more mile I'll be in paradise She'll be waiting there, I know Left turn, right turn, here I go Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love
