Mel Da Ilha Composer(s): Ronaldo Bastos Performer(s): Cláudio Nucci & Renato Ze
Foi só morder a maçã para sonhar Sonhar que ia também, meu bem quero ir Quando for pra ilha Irmão me leva, irmã me leva Foi só pensar em você, já estava lá Pra lá de um céu todo azul Na beira do mar Lá estava a ilha A cor morena, o mel da ilha Moendo a cana, movendo a ilha
Não esqueça de dizer adeus sorrindo Recados vão na brisa do mar Nobreza seja o mel da nossa lha O sonho pode ser seu, qualquer lugar (Bis)
Riqueza de viver e ter amigos Não esqueça não esquecer de me levar Foi só pensar em você para sonhar
Once Or Twice Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
Oh girl I looked you over once or twice I think that you are very nice And you're just meant for me
Oh girl I think you got a messed up mind But if you will take the time Baby I can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be What I am not But I think what you need Is what I got
Girl I'm no philosopher But I can offer you that cure To mend your broken heart I know that you are not blind I know you see my messed up mind I bet you see my broken heart too
So won't you Bring your heart and your mind That's out on the run Fuse them with my broken heart In my mind We'll be one
Girl I looked you over once or twice I think that you are very nice And you're just meant for me
Girl I think you got a messed up mind Now that you know yours is just like mine Baby, won't you set me free
10 Degrees And Getting Colder
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
He was standin' by the highway with a sign that just said Mother When he heard a driver comin' 'Bout a half a mile away Then he held the sign up higher Where no decent soul could miss it It was ten degrees or colder Down by bolder dam that day
He was raised up in Milwaukee Though he never was that famous He was just a road musician To the taverns he would go Singin' songs about the ramblin' The lovin' girls and gamblin' How the world fell on his shoulders Back in Boulder I don't know
It was out in Arizona That he heard the lady listenin' To each word that he was sayin' To each line that he would write So he sat down by her table and They talked about the weather Ninety-eight point six and risin' Down by Boulder dam that day
And she told him she would take him For a ride in the mornin' sun Back in Boulder he had told her I don't know when I had a better friend
Now he's traded off his Martin But his troubles are not over For his feet are almost frozen And the sun is sinkin' low Won't you listen to me brother If you ever loved your mother Please pull off on the shoulder If you're goin' Milwaukee way It's ten degrees and getting colder Down by Boulder dam today
Le Venin
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Une mélodie mélancolique viendeto du ghetto
L'après-midi plombé à mort lui donne ce tempo
Sous un ciel d'encre, des enfants jouent à lancer leurs couteaux
Au-dessus des caisses où des vieux sages planquent leurs dominos
Cette mélodie mélancolique qui vient de la Havane
Contient des ondes maléfiques aux allures de Gitane
M'a dit un vieux conteur d'histoires, buveur de rhum hors-pair
Connu à Kingston un beau soir, en lui payant des verres
Il y a longtemps, un marin fou, amant d'une Gipsy
Elle voulait tout lui donner, tout, mais lui n'a rien compris
J'ai un peu oublié la suite, qui parle de vengeance
Du danger des vraies amoureuses, de poison et de rance
Cette mélodie mélancolique qui vient de la Havane
Contient des ondes maléfiques aux allures de Gitane
Amour couvert ou très obscur, provoquant le destin
Cette mélodie porte-malheur, et s'appelle le venin
viendeto
viendeto
viendeto du ghetto
Une mélodie mélancolique viendeto du ghetto
La pluie qui envahit la rue lui donne ce tempo
Une chanson bizarre et maléfique qui fait fuir les marins
Moi je la chante pour le risque, on verra bien demain...

Hebben van die wapperende voeten Lopen altijd overal tegenop Weten helemaal niet wat ze moeten Kauwen dus de hele dag maar drop Moeten oude jurken van hun grote zusjes aan Die hun moeders hen nu juist zo enig vinden staan Houden niet van zomerkampen moeten daar toch heen En zijn daar met z'n honderden verschrikkelijk alleen
Meisjes van dertien, niet zo gelukkig Meisjes van dertien, en net tussenin Te groot voor de poppen, te groot voor de merels Te klein voor de liefde, te klein voor de kerels Met een glimmende neus En met knokige knietjes En in hun dagboek Staan de kleine verdrietjes Meisjes van dertien, vlak voor 't begin Meisjes van dertien, er net tussenin
Hebben van die dromerige koppies Hebben van dat dunne steile haar Willen niet meer samen met de jongens Willen nou alleen nog met elkaar Giechelen bij de naam van 't onbereikbare idool Giechelen om hun vader en de leraren op school Giechelen van ongemak en giechelen van spijt Giechelen zich een weggetje naar een betere tijd
Meisjes van dertien, niet zo gelukkig Meisjes van dertien, en net tussenin Te groot voor de poppen, te groot voor de merels Te klein voor de liefde, te klein voor de kerels Nog nergens een vrouw, ja van boven voorzichtig Maar verder nog nergens, nog te dun en te spichtig Meisjes van derien, droom er maar van Meisjes van dertien, giechel maar an
Once More Composer(s): Dusty Owens Performer(s): Roy Acuff; and various other artists
Once more to be with you dear Just for tonight to hold you tight Once more I'd give up a fortune If I could see you once more
Forget the past, this hurt can't last Oh I don't want it to keep us apart Your love I'll crave, I'll be your slave If you'll just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you dear Just for tonight to hold you tight Once more I'd give a fortune If I could see you once more Once more
10 Light Years Away
Composer(s): M. Frederiksen; M. Jones; Klaus Meine; Rudolph Schenker
Performer(s): Scorpions
In a run down bed and breakfast A room with a view, across the river I tried to loos the claustrophobia Opened up and find Utopia There's no more denying As my mind go flying 10 light years away to save my soul 10 light years away to change it all Whatever it may take I gotta try again Girl it's time to start over 10 light years away I'd been watching the reflection Of a bamboo in the shade, when I saw her A very hot day in Havana In a midnight blue lagoon I knew she was hiding 10 light years away so take me home 10 light years away to change it all Help me find today It's been way too long Girl it's time to start over 10 light years away There's no more denying As my mind go flying 10 light years away to save my soul 10 light years away to change it all Whatever it may take I gotta try again Girl it's time to start over 10 light years away so take me home 10 light years away to change it all Help me find today It's been way too long Girl it's time to start over 10 light years away
A Baby Just Like You
Composer(s): John Denver - Joe Henry
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists
The season is upon us now A time for gifts and giving And as the year draws to its close I think about my living Christmas time when I was young The magic and the wonder But colors dull and candles dim And dark my standing under
Oh, little angel, shining light You've set my soul to dreaming You've given back my joy in life You filled me with new meaning
A savior King was born that day A baby just like you And as the Magi came with gifts I come with my gift too That peace on earth fills up your time And brotherhood surrounds you That you may know the warmth of love And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told From days when I was young Merry Christmas little Zachary Merry Christmas everyone Merry Christmas little Zachary Merry Christmas everyone
Hebben van die rusteloze voeten Lopen daardoor overal tegenop En 't is ook wel verwarrend wat ze moeten Een baan, een man, een kind en hogerop Rennen van hun werk, via de creche naar 't cafe En moet 't kind dan eerst naar bed, of nemen we 't mee En als je nog geen kind hebt: kan dat wachten of moet dat nu En eten we weer sousjies, of toch aardappels met jus
Meisjes van dertig, niet ongelukkig Meisjes van dertig, er net tussenin Te oud voor 't zomaar wat vlind'rende leven Te jong om een toekomst uit handen te geven Ze hebben succes en een heleboel plannen Maar krijgen daardoor vaak problemen met mannen Meisjes van dertig, vlak na 't begin Meisjes van dertig, d'r weer tussenin
Hebben iets van heimwee in hun ogen Hebben van dat doorgewaaide haar Willen best wat delen met de jongens Maar willen ook nog heel graag met elkaar Giechelen, net als vroeger, bij een drankje en muziek Giechelend langs de rekken van een lekkere boetiek Giechelen om niet te huilen, om de wereld en de tijd Maar een giechelende meid is niet op morgen voorbereid
Meisjes van dertig, niet ongelukkig Meisjes van dertig, er net tussenin Te oud voor: we zien wel, 't komt allemaal later Te jong nog voor wijn die vermengd is met water Voor altijd een vrouw; in gedachten soms even Dat meisje van dertien, dat wacht op 't leven Meisjes van dertig, maak d'r wat van Want 't leuke van dertig, dat alles nog kan
Once Is Never Enough Composer(s): Ian Crichton; Jim Crichton; Jim Gilmour; Steve Negus; Michael Sadler Performer(s): Saga
You say I can't then I have to Have all the things I don't need I guess it's human nature The animal in me You can call it my obsession You've got me under your spell If there's something I am wanting I'll just help myself Thrill of the chase When you get what you want Will that be enough Thrill of the chase When you find you can't stop Once is never enough I like to touch the fire Maybe some day I'll get burned After all this chasing Don't think I'll ever learn So when you see me coming You can run but you can't hide "Cause when I know just what I'm after I won't stop until I die Thrill of the chase When you get what you want Will that be enough Thrill of the chase When you find you can't stop Once is never enough I don't know what I want to Have all the things that I don't need It must be human nature Or it's the animal in me Thrill of the chase When you get what you want Will that be enough Thrill of the chase When you find you can't stop Once is never enough Thrill of the chase When you get what you want Will that be enough Thrill of the chase When you find you can't stop Once is never enough
10 Minutes Before The Worm Composer(s): Michael Bruce; Glen Buxton; Alice Cooper; Dennis Dunaway; Neal Smith Performer(s): Alice Cooper

Meio-Dia Meia-Lua (aka Na Ilha De Lia, No Barco De Rosa) Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo Performer(s): Edú Lobo
Quando adormecia na ilha de Lia Meu Deus, eu só vivia a sonhar Que passava ao largo no barco de Rosa E queria aquela ilha abordar Pra dormir com Lia que via que eu ia Sonhar dentro do barco de Rosa Rosa que se ria e dizia nem coisa com coisa
Era um armadilha de Lia com Rosa com Lia Eu não podia escapar Girava num barco num lago no centro da ilha Num moinho do mar Era estar com Rosa nos braços de Lia Era Lia com balanço de Rosa Era tão real Era devaneio Era meio a meio Meio Rosa meio Lia, meio Meio-dia mandando eu voltar com Lia Meia-lua mandando eu partir com Rosa Na ilha de Lia, de Lia, de Lia No barco de Rosa, de Rosa, de Rosa
Once Is Enough Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy C. Bennett Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Taildraggers
All you got is one life Living once can be rough But if you live every day all the way Once is enough
You can own just one suit Worn and torn at the cuff But if you're livin' the life that you love Once is enough
What's the good of reaching ninety If you waste eighty-nine You got one life so live it If you don't it's a crime
Life's a playful puppy You can grab by the scruff And if you live every sec', what the heck Once is enough
Never wait until tomorrow What if it never comes Life is a seven layer Don't you settle for crumbs
Life's a playful puppy You can grab by the scruff And if you live every sec', what the heck Once is enough And if you live every sec', what the heck Once is enough And if you live every sec', what the heck Once is enough
10 Seconds To Forever Composer(s): Robert Calvert Performer(s): Nik Turner
In the tenth second of forever I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting In the ninth second of forever I remembered a warm room where voices played In the eighth second of forever I thought of the life I would not lead In the seventh second of forever I thought of a leaf, a stone, a plastic fragment of a child's toy In the sixth second of forever I saw your mouth whispering something I could hear In the fifth second of forever I thought of the vermillion deserts of Mars, the jewelled forests of Venus In the fourth second of forever I could remember nothing that I did not love In the third second of forever I thought of rain against a window, I thought of the wind In the second second of forever I thought of a pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac In the first and final second of forever I thought of the long past that had led to now And never... Never... Never...
A Candle In The Window
Composer(s): Walt Aldridge - Gary Baker - Susan Longacre
Performer(s): Alabama
There's a road that I remember leading to a special place Where the door was always open to a smiling face There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name
And a candle in the window, a flame against the night There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are Just a candle in the window
Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring Almost taste the pie she's baking, it's Christmas Eve
And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night The candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart
Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart
Meine Wahrheit French Title: Ma Vérité Composer(s): R. Wagner; J.P. Sabar; Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle; R. Zuckowski Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Endlose Nacht, strahlendes Licht Stets hat die Wahrheit ein anderes Gesicht Schnell wie der Wind, treibt sie dich fort Tosende Stürme verkünden ihr Wort
Zart wie ein Hauch kommt sie zurück Singt mit den Vögeln im Frühling ihr Lied Doch dann und wann, mit Dir allein Scheint meine Wahrheit die Liebe zu sein
Freude und Glück, Tränen und Leid Stets trägt die Wahrheit ein anderes Kleid Dem der sich sagt ich hab gelebt Scheint sie vielleicht aus Erinn'rung gewebt
Dem der beschließt "Frag nicht was war" Zeigt sie die Farben der Zukunft ganz klar Doch dann und wann, mit Dir allein Scheint meine Wahrheit die Liebe zu sein
Kind oder Greis, Frau oder Mann Stets trägt die Wahrheit ein andrer voran Laut oder still, kommt sie zu Dir Wenn du bereit bist und offen dafür
Du kannst sie hör'n, Du kannst sie seh'n Oder Dein Herz wird sie verstehn
