Mensen Om Me Heen Composer(s): Lennaert Nijgh; Boudewijn de Groot Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Wanneer de zon een cirkel is Een cirkel in een cirkel is van vuur Op dat uur, heb ik mensen om me heen Nee, ik ben niet alleen, nee, niet alleen Oranjerode vlammen van de rozen, rozen, rozen, rozen, rozen, rozen, rozen Oranje boven, oranje boven Lag uit het bos, zo groen als mos Ik heb m'n vrienden om me heen gekozen Om de liefda-a-a-ah kan je geloven in iets anders Want samen zijn en 1 te zijn, alleen zijn met elkaar Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa We zuchten, schemer, duister Mensen om me heen Gezang en zacht gefluister Mensen om me heen Muziek en lege vazen Mensen om me heen Het dansen van de dwazen Mensen om me heen En bootje roeien, stoeien en de boterbloemen bloeien Een zonnebloem, een bereklauw, de hemel ligt grijs helderblauw Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa Wanneer er witte sterren zijn Maan en planeten ver en zij en zacht, lag een nacht Dan heb ik mensen om me heen Nee ik ben niet alleen, nee, niet alleen Oh nacht omdat ik jou zocht in de zomer Zomer, zomer, zomer, zomer, zomer, zomer, zomer, zomer Verbande vijver in het woud En overal de warme geur van honing In de winda-a-a-a kon ik geloven in iets anders Daar altijd zijn en eeuwig zijn, voorgoed en overal Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa Met kinderen en dieren Mensen om me heen Midzomernachtmis vieren Mensen om me heen En liggen bij het vuur Mensen om me heen Om vijfentwintig uur Mensen om me heen De liefde zonder kleren en steeds iets anders leren En dansen met de harteband, een lied dat niemand anders kent Tsja la la la la la la la do dom La la la la la la la la la Wanneer de ijzel pijzel De wolkenstamp tot sneeuw verdampt En engelenhaar Dan heb ik mensen om me heen Nee ik ben niet alleen, nee, niet alleen Een groep van vrienden in het rond te rollen, rollen, rollen, rollen Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe zoete lieve Gerritje Kon ik me warmen aan hun vuur Maar een uur van kristallijnen schubben Zal ons scheiden, ha-a-a-a-ad ik maar een hamer in de morgen Die breken zou de glazen kou van stilte om me heen Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa Mensen om me heen Mensen om me heen Nooit alleen, nooit alleen Mensen om me heen Mensen om me heen Mensen om me heen Mensen om me heen
I went walking down the street very sad and blue Feeling all alone inside, wondering what to do Then I looked up to the sky Happening to see one little star all alone, alone like me Oh little star alone in the sky listen to my plea Help me find the one I love, light the way for me
Suddenly I heard a voice and I turned to see A girl I loved and thought I'd lost running back to me Oh little star alone in the sky listen to my plea Help me find the one I love light the way for me
Suddenly I heard a voice and I turned to see A girl I loved and thought I'd lost running back to me, running back to me Thank you little

Estoy loco por vos no lo puedo negar pero estar tan mal acostumbrada te la podes pasar tirada en un sofá con la cabeza en el walkman pegada Mientras las madres marchan haciendo un paso militar todo sigue igual

One Little Candle Composer(s): Larry Mysels; Joseph Maloy Roach Performer(s): Perry Como: Chicago; Myron Floren; Jane Froman; Josef Locke
(Backup Vocal)
It's better to light just one little candle Than to stumble in the dark Better far that you light just one little candle All you need's a tiny spark
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free The wonderful dawn on the new day we'll see And if everyone lit just one little candle What a bright world this would be
(Let's all light one little candle Why stumble on in the dark)
When the day is dark and dreary And your way is hard to find Don't let your heart be weary Just keep this thought in mind
(It is better to light just one little candle Than to stumble in the dark Better far to light just one little candle All you need's a tiny spark)
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free The wonderful dawn of the new day we'll see And if everyone lit just one little candle What a bright world this would be
Mensajes Del Alma Composer(s): León Gieco; Luis Gurevich Performer(s): León Gieco
hay 15.000 chicos que vuelan como angelitos con sus alas por el buen aire
Con la suerte y la calma de no haber conocido nada para seguir siendo bueno quizás Dios robó esas almas
Que piensas cuando te hablo de todo lo que pasó viste que todas las cosas se saben con el tiempo Suelto y aún viviendo católico que bendijo ya perdió hace mucho tiempo su lugar en el cielo
Todos los días que te lleve saber como esto fue Te servirán para ser en otro tiempo algo más libre
Son las únicas palabras que te pido escuchar! Si no me muero de verguenza hoy, aca
A todos por igual alguien nos espera Y de cualquier manera llorarás
Que dignidad tan grande la de creer siempre en la vida con solo ver una flor brotando entre las ruinas
Tu canción fue la rueda de los días que siguieron Tu canción fue más lejos que la muerte que te hicieron No tengas miedo, ya dimos la vuelta al espanto un viento mas calmo se viene anunciando
El polvo de estas de estas calles pone a Santo con represor pone al inocente en pena y despierta al asesino
Témpano del olvido, y del nunca decir nada cuantas miradas caídas sin ver que es lo que pasa Ningún dolor se siente mientras le toque al vecino el que manda a matar es para sentirse mas vivo
¡Son mensajes del Alma! ¡Herida pero bien clara! Sobre lo cobarde, toda la verdad Ángel rubio de la muerte, de que poco te sirvió el himno, Jesús, la bandera Y el sol que te vió
que dignidad tan grande la de creer siempre en la vida con solo ver una flor brotando entre las ruinas
One Less Set Of Footsteps Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; Crystal Gayle; Larry Stewart; The Ventures
We been runnin' away from Somethin' we both know We've long run out of things to say And I think I better go
So don't be getting' excited When you hear that slammin' door 'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin'
And we've been hidin' from somethin' That should have never gone this far But after all it's what we've done That makes us what we are
And you been talkin' in silence If it's silence you adore Oh there'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin'
Chorus:
Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor One less man to walk in One less pair of jeans upon your door One less voice a'talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away Today has turned to dust Your silver tongue has turned to clay And your golden rule to rust If that's the way that you want it That's the way I want it more There'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin'
(Repeat from Chorus to end)
There'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin'
Menos Que Nada Composer(s): Chucho Martínez Gil Performer(s): Javier Solís and various other artists
No quiero que me contestes esta carta después de que tú la leas puedes romperla Te escribo para que sepas lo que mis labios por mucho tiempo callaron tantos agravios
No quiero que me contestes esta carta no quiero saber ya nada de tu vida Si cuando vivimos juntos no te importaba hoy soy para ti tal vez menos que nada
No espero contestación no quiero saber de ti si tienes un nuevo amor ojalá que seas feliz El tiempo enseñará mil cosas que hay que aprender pues no puedes engañar por costumbre o por placer
No quiero que me contestes esta carta no quiero saber ya nada de tu vida Si cuando vivimos juntos no te importaba hoy soy para ti tal vez menos que nada
One Less Bell To Answer Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): The 5th Dimension; and various other artists
One less bell to answer One less egg to fry One less man to pick up after I should be happy
But all I do is cry (Cry, cry, no more laughter) Oh, I should be happy (Oh, why did he go) I only know that since he left my lifes so empty
Though I try to forget, it just cant be done Each time the doorbell rings I still run (I still run) I dont know how in the world to stop thinking of him Cause I still love him so (Love him so) I end each day the way I start out crying my heart out
Oh, one less man to pick up after No more laughter, no more love Since he went, oh, he went away (He went away) (One less bell to answer) Why did he leave me (Oh, why, why did he leave)
Now Ive got one less egg to fry (One less bell to answer) One less egg to fry (Oh, why, why did he leave) And all I do is cry (One less bell to answer) Because a man told me goodbye (Oh, why, why did he leave)
Somebody tell me please (One less bell to answer) Where did he go, why did he go (Oh, why, why did he leave) How could he leave me
Meninos, Eu Vi Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Tom Jobim Performer(s): Quarteto em Cy & MPB-4; Djavan; Jose Luiz Mazziotti
Um grande amor
Para viver um grande amor
Eu vi o grande amor no claro olhar da minha amada, eu vi Que todo o grande amor ainda é pouco, ainda é nada, eu vi Amores que jamais verei Meninos, eu vivi Vivendo a poesia de verdade
Também vi a cidade incendiada, eu tive medo Eu vi a escuridão Eu vi o que não quis Amei mais do que pude, eu fiquei cego de paixão E acho que enfim eu vi um homem ser feliz
Juro que um dia eu vi um homem ser feliz
Eu vi o grande amor escancarado em cada cara, eu vi O amor evaporando pelos céus da Guanabara Amores de imortal verão Meninas, como eu vi Vivendo poesia de verdade
Eu vi uma cidade enfeitiçada, e tive medo Eu vi um coração Molhando o meu país Amei mais do que pude, eu fiquei cego de paixão E acho que enfim eu vi o homem ser feliz
Menino Deus Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; A Cor Do Som; Brazil Inc.
Menino Deus De um corpo azul dourado Um porto alegre é bem mais que um seguro Na rota das nossas viagens do escuro Menino Deus Quando tua luz se acende A minha voz comporá tua lenda E por momento haverá mais futuro Do que jamais houve Mas ouve a nossa harmonia A eletricidade, ligada no dia Em que brilharias por sobre cidade Menino Deus Quando a flor do teu sexo Abrir as pétalas para o universo Então por um lapso se encontrar Ligando os breus, dando sentido aos mundos E aos corações sentimentos profundos De terna alegria, no dia Do menino Deus Do menino Deus Do menino Deus No dia do menino Deus
Chorus One last kiss, is all I´ll ever ask from you On a night like this, there´s nothin´ I would rather do One last dream is all you ever give to me Nights no longer seem as lonely as they used to be One last kiss, is all I´ll ever ask from you On a night like this, there's nothin´ I would rather do
Oh, on a night like this I´d give you everything Although I´ve missed things, kept out of sight I´d rather be with you tonight than anything And when I feel your touch, sometimes it hurts so much The way you look at me can never set me free I gotta have your love
Chorus
Oh, with a girl like you, I don´t know who to be Sometimes you play me best out of there I just don´t want you givin´ me your charity And though I need your touch, sometimes, it hurts so much And when the feelin´s gone, and you still lead me on I´ve got to have your love
Mendocino County Line Composer(s): Matt Serletic; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Lee Ann Womack
Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind As the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away I orchestrated paradise, couldn't make you stay You dance with the horses through the sands of time As the sun sinks west on the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
The two of us together felt nothin' but right Feeling near immortal every Friday night Lost in our convictions, left stained with wine As the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
I don't talk to you too much these days I just thank the lord pictures don't fade I spent time with an angel just passing through Now all that's left is this image of you
Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine We used to be so happy once upon a time Once upon a time But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line And the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line
One Last Cold Kiss Composer(s): Gail Collins; Felix Pappalardi Performer(s): Mountain; and various other artists
Two island swans mated for life And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend And the pond was all so peaceful with the rising of the sun Young and free like the island breeze their life was just begun
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start Stalked the hunter with his bow, he put an arrow through her heart Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain For I feel I will not spend another day with you again
And the cold winds blow He was brave but he's laid low By her body in the isle of mist I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide They brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride They say he will not move from the place where she did fall Once so proud he's beaten now, he will not speak at all
And the cold winds blow He was brave but he's laid low By her body in the isle of mist I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss

Girls listen, I'm gonna cool you cooks to something Listen to this Men are gettin scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah Men are gettin' scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah
There used to be a time When a woman could get a man with just her charms Now in order for a woman to get a man She gotta, she gotta take him She gotta take him, she gotta take him She gotta take him right out of another woman's arms
Men are gettin scarce girls Oh their gettin' scarce girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha) And that's mighty scarce
Listen to this I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now she said, she was gonna quit her man Cause he's got a raggedy car Can you get to that, look here, huh Women are funny though Every time her car is runnin' good They say chile, that's my car (laughter) soon as it gets to runnin' bad She say ah I don't want that old car That's his car (laughter)

Men are gettin scarce girls Ah their gettin' scarce girls They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha) And that's mighty scarce Hold it band, hold it, hold it a minute

I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now here's a woman that was gonna quit her man 'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his job Talkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his money She went on to say something like this She say they take tax and more tax and they keep on takin' that tax Why he take so much money from my man We ain't got enough to relax Well let me tell you one thing baby You let that man stay on that ole measely job and let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every week And you keep that man 'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his baby Don't you worry about that Men are gettin' scarce baby They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth You got some women their man ain't got no job Men droppin' off like flies
One Kiss Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Evelyn Laye; and various other artists
In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two Our conventions have been thrown all askew And I know I'm out of date wWhen I seek one mate One faithful lover true
To be really in the fashion today You must have a dozen beaux in your sway But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan I want to wait for just one man
(It's more fun to love 'em all) Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
I have another scheme It's my only dream
One kiss, one man to save it for One love for him alone One word, one vow, and nothing more To tell him I'm his own One magic night within his arms With passion's flower unfurled And all my life I'll love only one man And no other man in the world
(You've been reading stories of romantic glories) (Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
Soon my Knight may find me Softly steal behind me Put me on a horse And carry me away Laugh all you like at me I'll find my man, you'll see
One kiss, one man to save it for One love for him alone One word, one vow, and nothing more To tell him I'm his own One magic night within his arms With passion's flower unfurled And all my life I'll love only one man And no other man in the world
