Atrás Da Porta Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Francis Hime Performer(s): Elis Regina and multiple other artists
Quando olhaste bem nos olhos meus E o teu olhar era de adeus Juro que não acreditei Eu te estranhei Me debrucei sobre teu corpo e duvidei E me arrastei e te arranhei E me agarrei nos teus cabelos No teu peito Teu pijama Nos teus pés Ao pé da cama Sem carinho, sem coberta No tapete atrás da porta Reclamei baixinho
Dei pra maldizer o nosso lar Pra sujar teu nome, te humilhar E me entregar a qualquer preço Te adorando pelo avesso Pra mostrar que ainda sou tua Só pra provar que inda sou tua ...

Domino, Domino, you're an angel that heaven has sent me Domino, Domino, you're a devil designed to torment me When your heart must know that I love you so Tell me why, tell me why, why do you make me cry, Domino
Domino, Domino, won't you tell me you'll never desert me? Domino, Domino, if you stay I don't care how you hurt me Fate has made you so, you can't change, I know You can't change, though you try, but then neither can I, Domino
Just one look in your eyes and I melt with desire Just a touch of your hands and I burst into fire And my whole world fills with music when I'm lost in your embrace
But I know that you're fickle and I'm not misled Each attractive new face that you see turns your head And it scares me that tomorrow, someone else may take my place
Domino, Domino, you're an angel that heaven has sent me Domino, Domino, you're a devil designed to torment me When your heart must know that I love you so Tell me why, tell me why, why do you make me cry, Domino

Atlantis ((Italian Version: Atlantis (by Augusto Righetti) - 1969)) Composer(s): Donovan First release by: Donovan - 1968
The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land, that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the God's who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist The magician and the other so-called God's of our legends Though God's they were And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be (5x) My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah My antediluvian baby, My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl Girl, I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah I want to see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I want to see you My antediluvian baby, got to tell me where she gone I want to see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah Oh glub glub, down down, yeah My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Le printemps chante en moi, Dominique Le soleil s'est fait beau J'ai le cur comme un' boite à musique J'ai besoin de toi De tes mains sur moi De ton corps doux et chaud J'ai envie d'être aimée Domino Méfie-toi, mon amour, je t'ai trop pardonné J'ai perdu plus de nuits que tu m'en as données Bien plus d'heures A attendre, qu'à te prendre sur mon cur Il se peut qu'à mon tour je te fasse du mal Tu m'en as fait toi-même et ça t'est bien égal Tu t'amuses de mes peines, et je m'use de t'aimer
Domino Domino Le printemps chante en moi, Dominique Le soleil s'est fait beau J'ai le cur comme un' boite à musique J'ai besoin de toi De tes mains sur moi De ton corps doux et chaud J'ai envie d'être aimée Domino Il est une pensée que je ne souffre pas C'est qu'on puisse me prendre ma place en tes bras Je supporte bien des choses, mais à force c'en est trop... Et qu'une autre ait l'idée de me voler mon bien Je ne donne pas cher de ses jours et des tiens Je regarde qui t'entoure prends bien garde mon amour
Domino Domino J'ai bien tort de me mettre en colère Avec toi, Domino Je sais trop qu'il n'y a rien à faire T'as le cur léger Tu ne peux changer Mais je t'aime, que veux-tu? Je ne peux pas changer, moi non plus Domino, Domino Je pardonne toujours, mais reviens Domino, Domino Et je ne te dirai plus rien

Hey, and I don't mind losing time 'cause I'm still in love with you Yes I'm still in love with you
I could sail away tomorrow If I ever wanted to But I don't mind wasting time 'cause I'm still in love with ... Yes I'm still in love with ... 'cause I'm still in love with you
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
A l'époque où Jean Sans Terre
D'Angleterre était roi
Dominique, notre Père
Combattit les Albigeois
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Certain jour un hérétique
Par des ronces le conduit
Mais notre Père Dominique
Par sa joie le convertit
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Ni chameau, ni diligence
Il parcourt l'Europe à pied
Scandinavie ou Provence
Dans la sainte pauvreté
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Enflamma de toute écoles
Filles et garçons pleins d'ardeur
Et pour semer la Parole
Inventa les Frères Prêcheurs
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Chez Dominique et Ses Frères
Le pain s'en vint à manquer
Et deux anges se présentèrent
Portant deux grands pains dorés
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Dominique vit en rêve
Les prêcheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge
En grand nombre rassemblés
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Dominique, mon bon Père
Garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer à nos frères
La Vie et La Vérité
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Atlantic City Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night Now they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight Gonna see what them racket boys can do

Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer
Made him hear the good Lord's call
Without horse or fancy wagon
He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion
As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars
Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order
There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number
Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique
The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth
Atlantic Avenue Composer(s): Roger Ball - Steve Ferrone - Alan Gorrie - Onnie McIntyre - Hamish Stuart Performer(s): The Average White Band
Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue With the sunlight in my eyes Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do When I want some peace of mind I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as the evening starts to fly I want to feel the ocean breeze, where the mountains kiss the sky
So come on, down Atlantic Avenue Let the samba take a hold of you 'Cause I know there is no place like the Avenue When the music gets a hold of you
Dive along to Ipanema there's always time to spare Forget the troubles of the world, when they get to much to bear Won't you please come on Atlantic Avenue
Flying down to Rio Never thought I would be, walking by the ocean here today, no Pretty soon I've got to leave, but I know my heart will stay, ooh Atlantic Avenue Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do When I want some peace of mind So come on, down Atlantic Avenue Let the samba take a hold of you Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do When I want some peace of mind So come on, down Atlantic Avenue Let the samba take a hold of you
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Jarenlang waren er in Frankrijk dal die grenzen zeer verspreid En Dominicus onze vader trok toen tegen hen te strijd
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Op een keer stapte hij zingend blootvoets door de distels heen En zijn gids het was een ketter werd daardoor bekeerd meteen
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Zonder paard of diligence trekt hij zo Europa door Scandinavië, Provence, en zijn armoe gaat hem voor
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Jongens, meisjes vol van geest blijft luisteren naar dit nieuw geluid En zo vond dan ook Dominicus toen de predikheren uit
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Op een dag zaten Dominicus en zijn broeders zonder brood Toen een groep van stralend engelen verse broden hen aanbood
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
In zijn dromen zag Dominicus alle predikers der aard Beschermd door Marias mantel hadden zij zich daar vergaard
Dominieke, nieke, nieke Trok eenvoudig erop uit Gods naam bezong hij luid Iedere stad en ieder oord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord Hoort van hem alleen Gods woord
Oh Dominicus, goede vader, houdt ons blij, eenvoudig, fris Om het mensdom aan te tonen wat het ware leven is

A-tisket a-tasket A brown-and-yellow basket I sent a letter to my mommie On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it Yes, on the way I dropped it A little girlie picked it up And put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue With not a single thing to do She went peck, peck, peckin' all around When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it My little yellow basket And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I will die
A-tisket a-tasket I lost my yellow basket And if that girlie dont return it Dont know what Ill do
Oh dear I wonder where my basket could be (So do we, So do we, So do we, So do we, So do we) Oh gee I wish that little girl I could see (So do we, So do we, So do we, So do we, So do we)
Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine That itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
A-tisket a-tasket I lost my yellow basket Wont someone help me find my basket And make me happy again
(Was it green?) No, no, no, no (Was it red?) No, no, no, no (Was it blue?) No, no, no, no Just a little yellow basket
