La vida no me tomó nunca en serio Yo por eso me sonrío sin cesar Y debe ser de sabios mi criterio Pues todos me lo quieren ya copiar Sobre todo en amor me resulta mejor Reír, reírme siempre que poder llorar Mentir también me gusta a cada paso Y miento con tan rara perfección Que no tuve hasta ahora ni un fracaso Pues es un novelón mi corazón Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida Que alcanzas la flor del amor Sonriendo pude alejar la tristeza de ti Y mintiendo pude besar tus labios Desde el día en que te conocí Te sonreí y te mentí Decir una mentira con talento, sí Y más de una diablura es un placer Yo pongo tanta verdad cuando las cuento Que a veces me las llego hasta creer El saber engañar, es preciso estudiar Si quieres en el juego del amor ganar Lo malo es que mintiendo tan deprisa, sí Un día yo me llegue a enamorar Y pierda para siempre mi sonrisa Y entonces no lo quiero ni pensar Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida Que alcanzas la flor del amor Mentir es mejor
Outra Noite Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
Outra noite Outro sono Como se eu sonhasse o sonho De outro dono Outro fumo, uma outra cinza Outra manhã
Mordo a fruta Outro é o sumo Ando pela mesma casa Com outro prumo Outra sombra, outono Chuva temporã
Será que já não vi De modo impessoal E em tempo diferente Um dia estranhamente igual Dias iguais - Avareza de Deus Passando indiferentes Por estranhos olhos meus
Outros olhos No teu rosto Vou falar teu nome E já teu nome é outro Outra bruma Sombra de outro sonho, alguém Na manhã de junho Outono, outubro, além
Minstrel's Song Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Words a simple song A minstrel sings A way of life in his eyes Hear the morning call of waking birds When they are singing, bringing Love - love Everywhere love is all around Everywhere love is all around
Now the winter's gone Cold wind has blown The endless stream in our lives Where the minstrel sings This simple song He's always bringing, singing Love - love Everywhere love is all around Everywhere love is all around
Listen to the one Who sings of love Follow our friend Our wandering friend Listen to the one Who sings of love Everywhere love is around Around, around
Here the nations sing Our minstrel's song As he walks by in their lives Soon the spring will come And everyone will all be singing, bringing Love - love Everywhere love is all around Everywhere love is all around
Listen to the one Who sings of love Follow our friend Our wandering friend Listen to the one Who sings of love Everywhere love is around Around, around
Outra Era Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Zeca Baleiro Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Quando a vida me leva Pra longe do meu bem Fico parecendo um trilho Que não passa trem Olho pro céu, o céu é mais além Miro o espelho, não vejo ninguém
Tambor dentro do peito, coração manera Para de chover que já é primavera Amanhã já vem e parece quimera Mera fantasia de quem só espera
Se eu não morrer Eu vou te ver manhã, depois Em outra era Em Tel Aviv, Bagdá, Brasília
A saudade ilha Quem dera eu fosse o mar, quem dera Em Fortaleza, Pequim, Bora-Bora A tristeza chora Quem dera eu pudesse te beijar agora
Minstrel Of The Dawn Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
The minstrel of the dawn is here To make you laugh and bend your ear Up the steps you'll hear him climb All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your mind they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is he Not too wise but oh so free He'll talk of life out on the street He'll play it sad and say it sweet Look into his shining face Of lonelines you'll always find a trace Just like me and you He's tryin' to get into things More happy than blue
A minstrel of the changin' tide He'll ask for nothing but his pride Just sit him down upon that chair Go fetch some wine and set it there Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your mind they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings
A minstrel of the dawn is near Just like a step 'n fetchit here He's like an old time troubador Just wanting life and nothing more Look into his shining eyes And if you see a ghost don't be surprised Like me and you He's tryin' to get into things More happy than blue
The minstrel boy will understand He holds a promise in his hand He talks of better days ahead And by his words your fortune's read Listen to the pictures flow Across the room into your mind they go Listen to the strings They jangle and dangle While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is gone I hope he'll call before too long And if you meet him you must be The victim of his minstrelsy He'll sing for you a song The minstrel of the dawn
Out On The Tiles Composer(s): John Bonham; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; and various other artists
As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song And a train that's passin' my way
helps the rhythm move along There is no doubt about the words are clear The voice is strong, is oh so strong
I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you
All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah
I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride People go and people come, see my rider right by my side It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run
All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah
Minnie's Yoo Hoo Composer(s): Carl Stalling; Walt Disney Performer(s): Kerry Butler
I'm the guy they call little Mickey Mouse Got a sweetie down in the chicken house Neither fat nor skinny, she's the horses whinny She's my little Minnie Mouse
When it's feeding time for the animals And they howl and growl like the cannibals I just turn my heel, to the hen house steal And you hear me sing this song
Oh, the old tom cat with his meow, meow, meow Old houn' dog with his bow, wow, wow The crows caw, caw, and the mule's hee-haw Gosh what a racket like an old buzz saw
I have listened to the Kookoo kook his koo-koo And I've heard the rooster cock his doodle doo doo With the cows and the chickens, all sound like the dickens I hear my little Minnie's yoo hoo...
Oh, the blue bird down in the cherry tree And the busy buzz of the bumble bee Evening bells a ringin', whip-poor-wills a singin' Well they don't mean much to me
For my heart is down in the chicken house Where I long to be with my Minnie Mouse And I'll meet her there, mid that fragnance rare Sing to her this melody
Oh, the old tom cat with his meow, meow, meow Old houn' dog with his bow, wow, wow The crows caw, caw, and the mule's hee-haw Gosh what a racket like an old buzz saw
I have listened to the Kookoo kook his koo-koo And I've heard the rooster cock his doodle doo doo With the cows and the chickens, all sound like the dickens I hear my little Minnie's yoo hoo...
Minnie The Moocher Composer(s): Cab Calloway; Clarence Gaskill; Irving Mills Performer(s): Danny Kaye and various other artists
Folks, now here´s a story about Minnie the Moocher She was a red hot hoochie-koocher She was the roughest, toughest faril but Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le
Now she messed around with a bloke named Smoky She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown He showed her how to kick the gong around
Hodey-ho Hidey-hi Whaddy-whee-ho Hodey-ho-dee-ho
Now she had a dream about the King of Sweden He gave her things that she was needin´ He gave her a home that was built of gold and steel A diamond car with platinum wheels
Whaddy-whoody-way Oh baby Wanna-be-beyou Hodey-ho
Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses Each meal she ate was a dozen courses She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes And she sat around and counted ´em all a million times
Out Of Time Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): Chris Farlowe; and various other artists
You don't know what's going on, You've been away for far too long You can't come back and think you are still mine You're out of touch my baby, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl, Giving up your social whirl But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no You're obsolete, my baby, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are left out, yes, you are I said you're left out of there without a doubt 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Minnie Shimme For Me Composer(s): Jimmy Lucas; Billy Frisch
Big Sam Green had a queen, a regular dance hall houn' And every where this gal would go Big Sam would sure be foun' She worked down in Sam's laundry Waited on the trade all day When an idle hour would roll around You'd hear big Sam Green says
Minnie Snow said I'll go and nurse all the boys from France And every day, to cheer them up She'll do her little dance The boys all seemed to like it For they all would soon get well Everytime that she would pass their cots You'd hear the boys all yell
Minnie shimme for me Minnie, shimme for me Get way down, bend your knees Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me you're as sweet as you can be You're better than a Broadway show You're graceful when you move so slow Say that's some dance (Oh Boy) Let's go Minnie do the shimme for me
Minnie shimme for me Minnie, shimme for me Get way down, bend your knees Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me you're as sweet as you can be A soldier in an ambulance got just one look at Minne's dance And yelled I'm cured I'll take one chance Minnie do the shimme for me
Out Of The Question Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
One minute you say you will And the next you won't One minute you want me And the next you don't You're turning me upside down Giving me the run around Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question
One minute you're kissing me And the next you're not One minute you remember And the next you've forgot I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question
Between us we could have conquered Everest Sailed empty handed around the world But no you couldn't wait You had to go make the fatal mistake Of leading me on You silly girl, that was wrong
Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question
One minute you're full of life And the next you're sad One minute you're marvellous And the next you're bad I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question
I'm doing my best and I don't know why I'm giving her a call and there's no reply She's getting me down till I can't get up She's giving me hell and if that's not enough She's breaking my heart nearly every day Not only in pieces but every way I'm sorry of course but the fault is hers

Out Of The East Composer(s): Jean C. Havez; Joe Rosey
Pale moon in the Eastern sky Look down where Arabs lie Smile down on the cavalcade Wake not little dark eyed maid Dreaming of a Prince so bold High up on a throne of gold Singing in a vision rare Pleading to his dream love fair
Far far from the desert sands Yonder in the vineyard lands There dear is the place we'll go There dear where the breezes blow Palm trees wave a welcome dear Swaying in the sunlight clear Blue skies with an opal glow Calling bid us gently go
Oriental maiden Be my jewel laden Princess all array'd in glory Dream of love's sweet longing Tender fancies thronging Told in royal song and story See the Sphinx beguiling Pyramids are smiling To my sweet heart while in slumber All the sentimental All the Oriental Dreams are born Out of the East
Minha Selva Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Des pas au couchant se glissent Dans la poussière du soleil Des patios aux dalles lisses Des hamacs sans sommeil L'eau transparente qu'on rêve Et qui jamais n'apparaît Vient la valse des regrets
Noir labyrinthe des jungles Où le chasseur disparaît Egorgé près de son flingue Par le tigre qu'il voulait La chaleur et puis la fièvre Et l'attente du passeur Voyageur
Minha selva, minha selva
Etre à l'aube des échecs Seul avec des jivaros Sans un mot, avec des chefs Venus du Mato Grosso C'est la selva qui t'enseigne La solitude des rois La solitude
Dans l'abstraction végétale La forêt prend des allures Formidables de cathédrales Dressés dans le clair-obscur Le temps n'est pas un chantage Il ne prouve pas le vécu
Minha selva, minha selva
Qui peut vivre ici, des hommes Qui n'ont jamais connu de loi Je parle de la loi des hommes Dont la nature ne veut pas Qui connaissent comme personne Tout ce que vous ne saurez pas La selva
Out Of Nowhere Composer(s): Edward Heyman; Johnny Green Performer(s): Lena Horne; and various other artists
You came to me from out of nowhere You took my heart and found it free Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere Made every hour sweet as a flower to me And if you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with the memory Ill always wait for your return out of nowhere Hoping youll bring your love to me
When I least expected, kindly fate directed You to make each dream of mine come true And if its clear or raining there is no explaining Things just happened and so did you
You came to me from out of nowhere You took my heart and you found it free Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere Made every hour sweet as a flower to me And if you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with, with the memory Ill always wait for your return out of nowhere Hoping youll bring your love to me
Minha História Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Lucio Dalla; P. Pallottino Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Maria Bethânia
Ele vinha sem muita conversa, sem muito explicar Eu só sei que falava e cheirava e gostava de mar Sei que tinha tatuagem no braço e dourado no dente E minha mãe se entregou a esse homem perdidamente
Ele assim como veio partiu não se sabe pra onde E deixou minha mãe com o olhar cada dia mais longe Esperando, parada, pregada na pedra do porto Com seu único velho vestido cada dia mais curto
Quando enfim eu nasci minha mãe embrulhou-me num manto Me vestiu como se fosse assim uma espécie de santo Mas por não se lembrar de acalantos, a pobre mulher Me ninava cantando cantigas de cabaré
Minha mãe não tardou a lertar toda a vizinhança A mostrar que ali estava bem mais que uma simples criança E não sei bem se por ironia ou se por amor Resolveu me chamar com o nome do Nosso Senhor
Minha história é esse nome que ainda hoje carrego comigo Quando vou bar em bar, viro a mesa, berro, bebo e brigo Os ladrões e as amantes, meus colegas de copo e de cruz Me conhecem só pelo meu nome Menino Jesus
Out Of My Mind Composer(s): Dino Valenti Performer(s): Quicksilver
Out of my mind, that's what she said to me she was unkind, said I was crazy I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do? It pays to let her fly over to the table Where the games were measured out in thin white lines The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all? I said that was sad, she didn't understand It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do? It pays to let her fly over to the table Where the games were measured out in thin white lines The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? What can you do? Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way
Minha Canção Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Vania Abreu
Dorme a cidade Resta um coração Misterioso Faz uma ilusão Soletra um verso Lavra a melodia Singelamente Dolorosamente Doce a música Silenciosa Larga o meu peito Solta-se no espaço Faz-se a certeza Minha cançao Réstia de luz onde Dorme o meu irmão
Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed Composer(s): Peggy Forman Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
Lying alone in this big ol' bed Got you on the mind I said when you left I could make it by myself But it gets harder all the time
And I can't take it no more I see your face Every time I close my eyes So I'm going out now and I'm lookin' for you Some winter night
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
Well I might find somebody new To share my misery But no other man can do what you can When it comes to lovin' me
Oh I don't want nobody to say that I was a fool for being good I won't be satisfied till you're Back in my arms and I'm lovin' you
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night without you holding me tight I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere That you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head and back in my bed 'Fore the mornin' comes
