    As Rosas Não Falam (Ao Vivo)
    Composer(s): Cartola
    Performer(s): Beth Carvalho



    Bate outra vez
    Com esperanças o meu coração
    Pois já vai terminando o verão enfim

    Volto ao jardim
    Com a certeza que devo chorar
    Pois bem sei que não queres voltar para mim

    Queixo-me às rosas, mas que bobagem
    As rosas não falam
    Simplesmente as rosas exalam
    O perfume que roubam de ti

    Devias vir
    Para ver os meus olhos tristonhos
    E, quem sabe sonhar com meus sonhos
    Por fim

    Do The Hula
    Composer(s): Don McDiarmid
    Performer(s): Nã Leo Pilimehana



    Way out there in mid-Pacific
    They have some funny notions
    One of them is most terrific
    You have to talk with motions

    Do the hula
    If there's anything you'd like to say
    It's the only way
    You'll find that a trip around the island is fun
    When once you`ve begun

    Tell of the moon above so high
    The humuhumunukunuku go swimming by
    Talk about the boys all hurrying back
    To the little brown gal in the little grass shack

    Do the hula
    If you`d like to whisper I love you
    It's the thing to do
    Picking flowers gets them everytime
    In a tropic clime

    When you walk on the silvery sands
    You'll never have to talk
    Simply use your hands

    Do the hula
    Go into your dance
    Do the hula
    Along the road to romance

    As Old As You're Young
    Performer(s): Gentle Giant



    Look at the mirror over there, what do you see?
    Tell yourself a lie
    Are you as old as you seem?
    Feel something that you have to
    Being open, an innocent, wise only when
    Age can mellow the haste
    New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young

    Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
    slipping away where no-one knows
    Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
    always understand one life it goes

    Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find
    Dreams not realized
    Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you

    Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end
    Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young

    Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
    slipping away where no-one knows
    Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
    always understand one life it goes

    So as you look around, look at the things you knew
    Never seeking the past
    Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young
    Still open eyed and promises never quite complete
    Working head in the air
    The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

    Do The Funky Chicken
    Composer(s): Rufus Thomas
    Performer(s): Rufus Thomas



    Y'all come on in now
    Come right on down front
    I got something I want to show you
    Now y'all heard of the Popcorn
    Y'all heard of the Dog
    You heard about all your other dances
    But now there's a brand new dance
    That's going around
    I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about
    I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?

    You raise the left arm up
    and your right arm too
    Let me tell you just what to do
    Start both of 'em to flapping
    You start your feet to kicking
    That's when you know
    You doin' the funky chicken

    You put both arms up across your face
    You knees start wiggling all over the place
    You flap your arms
    and your feet start kicking
    Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

    Oh, I'm feeling it now
    I feel so unnecessary
    This is the kind
    This is the kind of stuff
    To make you feel like you
    Want to do something nasty
    Like waste some chicken gravy
    On your white shirt
    Right down front here we go y'all

    You work both arms and you work both feet
    Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat
    You flap your arms
    And your feet start kicking
    Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

    Composer(s): Mel Tillis

    As much as the stars need the heaven
    As much as the roses need dew
    As much as the plea in a baby's cry
    Well that's how much I need you

    As much as the flowers need sunshine
    As much as the sky needs the blue
    As much as much as my love is true
    Well that's how much I need you

    I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true
    You alone are my inspiration in everything I do
    As much as the stars need the heaven...
    Well that's how much I need you

    As Minhas Meninas
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Olha as minhas meninas
    As minhas meninas
    Pra onde é que elas vão
    Se já saem sozinhas
    As notas da minha canção
    Vão as minhas meninas
    Levando destinos
    Tão iluminados de sim
    Passam por mim
    E embaraçam as linhas
    Da minha mão

    As meninas são minhas
    Só minhas na minha ilusão
    Na canção cristalina
    Da mina da imaginação
    Pode o tempo
    Marcar seus caminhos
    Nas faces
    Com as linhas
    Das noites de não
    E a solidão
    Maltratar as meninas
    As minhas não

    As meninas são minhas
    Só minhas
    As minhas meninas
    Do meu coração

    Hey everybody gather round

    Grab the first one in your reach
    Now we're going to shake the beach

    Grab your barefoot baby by the hand

    Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
    Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
    Dig right in and do the Clam
    Everybody's got that beat
    Well listen to those happy feet
    Ain't you glad that you found out
    What the Clam is all about

    Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
    Turn and tease, hug and squeeze

    Composer(s): Christine McVie
    Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



    I’ve been searching
    For a pot of gold
    Like the kind you find
    At the end of the rainbow

    I’ve been dreaming
    Thought it was in vain
    Ah but now you’re here
    Can’t believe that you’re back again

    Now I know I can’t lose
    As long as you follow
    I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
    I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
    As long as you follow

    I’ve bee wandering
    Gone away too far
    But the road was rough
    To get back where you are

    And the sun went down
    It never seemed to rise
    Ah but now you’re here
    With the light shining in your eyes

    Now I know I can’t lose
    As long as you follow
    I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
    I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
    Yes I can live today
    If you give me tomorrow
    As long as you follow

    Now I know I can’t lose
    As long as you follow
    I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
    I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
    Yes I can live today
    If you give me tomorrow
    As long as you follow

    As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
    As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
    As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
    As long as you follow (as long as you follow)

    When you come across The guy who thinks he's boss Yet never knows the reason why He won't let you pass Won't answer things you ask He's got his orders do or die Someone said to me If you tip the doorman heavily His doors will open wide for you Goes to show what money can do Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Please be kind to those Who fail to comprehend And in time who knows You'll maybe make a friend If you leave your car And you're not going far Remember what time to be back If it slips your mind I'm sure in time you'll find A Rita waiting in a mac Someone said to me If you tip the doorman heavily His doors will open wide for you Goes to show what money can do Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Win again lose again Don't feel sad when things go bad You just do the best you can Do the best you can Do the best you can

    Hela, Ga Met Me Mee, Ja
    Composer(s): Dries Holten
    Performer(s): Theo en Marjan



    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
    Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
    Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
    M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
    Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
    Hee, hee, hee
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
    Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
    Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
    M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
    Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

    Toen ik jou daar zag zitten had ik enkel oog voor jou
    En ik dacht bij mezelf: "O, als 'ie mij eens vragen zou"
    Toen was het snel bekeken en we bleven bij elkaar
    Je keek me in m'n ogen en vroeg alleen nog maar

    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
    Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
    Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
    M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
    Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

    't Is al een tijd geleden dat de liefde voor ons kwam
    En jij me lachend aankeek en me in je armen nam
    Maar als ik weer moest kiezen zou 'k alles over doen
    Ik keek weer in je ogen en vroeg je net als toen

    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
    Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
    Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
    M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
    Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
    Hee, hee, hee
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
    Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht...

    `Cause we could make some time now

    And I'll be trying hard for you
    I need you, baby, yes, I do
    Don't you know

    As long as there is L-o-v-e, love
    And T-i-m-e, time
    It's for sure that I'm
    I'm gonna keep on trying [I'm gonna keep on trying]
    I'm gonna keep on trying, baby [I'm gonna keep on trying]
    Every day, yeah [I'm gonna keep on trying]
    Here what I say, yeah [I'm gonna keep on trying]

    Composer(s): Chips Moman - Dan Penn
    First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Take me to heart
    And I'll always love you
    And nobody can make me do wrong
    Take me for granted
    Leaving love unshown
    Makes will power weak
    And temptation strong

    A woman's only human
    You should understand
    She's not just a plaything
    She's flesh and blood
    Just like her man

    If you want a do right
    All days woman
    You've gotta be a do right
    All night man

    Yeah, yeah
    They say that it's a man's world
    But you can't prove that by me
    And as long as we're together baby
    Show some respect for me

    If you want a do right
    All days woman
    You've gotta be a do right
    All night man

    A woman's only human
    This you should understand
    She's not just a plaything
    She's flesh and blood
    Just like her man

    If you want a do right
    All days woman
    You've gotta be a do right
    All nights man
    You've gotta be a do right
    All nights man

    As Long As The Grass Shall Grow
    Composer(s): Peter LaFarge
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash



    As long as the moon shall rise
    As long as the rivers flow
    As long as the sun will shine
    As long as the grass shall grow

    The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation
    Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation
    After the US revolution, Cornplanter was a chief
    He told the tribe these men they could trust, that was his true belief
    He went down to Independence Hall and there a treaty signed
    That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined
    George Washington gave his signature, the Government gave its hand
    They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land

    As long as the moon shall rise
    As long as the rivers flow
    As long as the sun will shine
    As long as the grass shall grow

    On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now
    Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope, no how
    Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam
    It will flood the Indian country, a proud day for Uncle Sam
    It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin
    It will drown the Indian graveyards, Cornplanter can you swim
    The earth is mother to the the Senecas, they're trampling sacred ground
    Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honour hobbles down

    As long as the moon shall rise
    As long as the rivers flow
    As long as the sun will shine
    As long as the grass shall grow

    The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way south
    But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the liar's mouth
    The Senecas hired an expert to figure another site
    But the great good army engineers said that he had no right
    Although he showed them another plan and showed them another way
    They laughed in his face and said no deal, Kinzua dam is here to stay
    Congress turned the Indians down, brushed off the Indians plea
    So the Senecas have renamed the dam, they call it Lake Perfidy

    As long as the moon shall rise
    As long as the rivers flow
    As long as the sun will shine
    As long as the grass shall grow

    Washington, Adams and Kennedy now hear their pledges ring
    The treaties are safe, we'll keep our word, but what is that gurgling
    It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising all the time
    Over the homes and over the fields and over the promises fine
    No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy, in winter it will fill
    In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish will kill
    But the Government of the USA has corrected George's vow
    The Father of our Country must be wrong, what's an Indian anyhow

    As long as the moon shall rise, look up
    As long as the rivers flow, are you thirsty
    As long as the sun will shine, my brother are you warm
    As long as the grass shall grow

    ... Zegt Mijn Man
    Performer(s): Rita Hovink



    ... De vrouw des huizes heeft het rijk alleen, zegt mijn man
    Hoeft niet te werken heeft nooit een probleem, zegt mijn man
    Waarom de vrouw van deze tijd zo klagen kan
    Da's onbegrijpelijk, zegt mijn man

    Dat beetje koken is toch geen bezwaar, zegt mijn man
    En ook die afwas speel je makkelijk klaar, zegt mijn man
    Waarom de huisvrouw van vandaag zo zeuren kan
    Is hem een raadsel, zegt mijn man

    En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar
    Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar

    Dat beetje wasgoed gaat in de machine, zegt mijn man
    Dat beetje strijken is te overzien, zegt mijn man
    Waarom de vrouw van nu dat niet begrijpen kan
    Is onverklaarbaar, zegt mijn man

    En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar
    Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar

    De grote schoonmaak is zo goed voor't hart, zegt mijn man
    En dat tuinieren is toch zo apart, zegt mijn man
    Dat de moderne vrouw dat niet bevatten kan
    Dat is een schande, zegt mijn man

    Hij moet gaan werken elke dag van huis, zegt mijn man
    Zijn lieve vrouwtje blijft dan lekker thuis, zegt mijn man
    Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
    Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
    Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
    Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
    Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
    Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
