The Chokin' Kind Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release by: Waylon Jennings - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
I only meant to love you, don't you know it babe Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave I've given you my heart but now you want my mind Your love scares me to death, girl, it's the chokin' kind
You can kill a man with bullets, poison or a knife But it hurts him more to take his pride and run his life Whatever it is you want, girl, Lord I hope you find But that hat don't fit my head, it's the chokin' kind
When you fall in love again girl, take a tip from me If you don't like the peaches, walk on by the tree Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind But let it breathe, don't make your love the chokin' kind
Cantos Do Rio Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio Quem esquece a lembrança na dor Na alegria daquele assobio Tem gosto de fruta, tem cheiro de flor Na alegria daquele assobio Tem gosto de fruta, tem cheiro de flor É um jeito vadio no andar Um sorriso moleque no olhar Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio É feira, de fruta, é barraca de flor Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio É feira, de fruta, é barraca de flor Rio de Janeiro Da fruteira, a flor Vi o ano inteiro Madureira em cor Madureira, madureira em cor Quem madruga no meu coração É mangueira primeira estação Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo E cedo madura no pé do verão Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo E cedo madura no pé do verão Casca dura de toda fruteira Que só dá fruta de casca dura Madureira me diga o que é É fruta madura que nasce no pé Madureira me diga o que é É fruta madura que nasce no pé Rio de Janeiro Da fruteira, a flor Vi o ano inteiro Madureira em cor Oh, Madureira, Madureira em cor Oh, Madureira, Madureira em cor Quem madruga no meu coração É mangueira primeira estação Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo E cedo madura no pé do verão...
Fire Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; and various other artists
I'm riding in your car, you turn on the radio You pullin' me close, I just say no I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar 'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Late at night, you're taking me home You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar 'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
You had a hold on me right from the start a grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah Baby, you can bet, a love they couldn't deny My words say split, but my words they lie 'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Hot kisses like fire I like what you're doing now, fire Fill me up with fire, touching me burning me with fire
The Chieftain's Daughter (aka Chief Bright Sky) (Traditional) Performer(s): George Vinton Graham
In autumn when evening was spreading Her pinions of darkness o'er all In numbers the Indians came treading Approaching Niagara Falls
For the love of tradition had taught them That one of their tribe every year At the casting of lots should be chosen To pass down the Falls without fear
The Chieftain had only one daughter He loved her as loved he his life Possessing the braveness he taught her She fears not, though costing her life
They thought that the Chieftain would surely Have them to cast lots o'er once more But nothing unfair did he claim her She left them and marched off to shore
A coffin, canoe and a paddle Lie waiting for her to step in Long farewell to pony and saddle Long farewell to forest and kin
And just as a moonbeam was sparkling To gather her in its bright beam She quickly pushed out her boat light And silently rowed down the stream
Now out from the banks of the river A boat was seen skimming the tide Oh, see how he loves his daughter He takes of his place by her side
But one weeps alone in the moonlight On the night comes a pitying cry From a mother who makes her heart quiver For daughter and Chieftain Bright Sky
Cantorcito De Contramano
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano a la gente le costo mucho para verte triunfar y mientras vos cantabas yo creo que tu mente estaba en otro lado contando las entradas Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte
Quien te dijo que la gente se levanta alegre para ir a trabajar lamento decirte pero estas equivocado la gente solo rie si le dicen la verdad La verdad no deberia ofender a nadie el que no la acepta es porque mintiendo esta
Yo creo que sos bueno y sos un padre ejemplar con eso no me meto te deseo lo mejor de todo corazon te lo digo como hermano porque a pesar de todo de la misma patria somos La gente ya quiere escuchar otra cancion se sienten impotentes si un cantor no los defiende
El indio hace vasija y artesania en barro y luego van de aqum y se la compran por dos mangos eso por ejemplo es decir una verdad y quedan muchas mas que podrias vos cantar La gente te pide que ahora pagues una entrada ellos quieren verse alguna vez triunfar
Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano tus letras siempre dicen que anda todo todo bien te doy un consejo aporta un poquito mas tu forma de pensar se quedo en el club del clan Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte

Yo pensé que en esta noche cantaría como otras noches he cantado por ahí Sin saber que tú vendrías a escucharme y a sentarte frente a mí
Como ves ahora yo soy un cantante no soy nada de lo que te prometí Mis canciones van quedando en cualquier parte y ahora te buscan a ti
Canto por ti, porque aún tú tienes alas para vivir Canto por ti, porque tú sabes cuál viento es para mí Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más
Yo creí que con el tiempo olvidaría lo que un día juntos nos tocó vivir Nuestra mesa nuestro pan, nuestra alegría Y la canción que te escribí
Canto por ti, porque tú puedes creer en lo irreal Canto por ti, porque yo soy sólo un hombre y tu eres más Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más Canto por ti, porque aún tú tienes alas para vivir Canto ti, porque tú sabes cuál viento es para mí Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más Canto por ti, porque tú puedes creer en lo irreal Canto por ti, porque yo soy sólo un hombre y tú eres más

Chicken Cordon Bleus Composer(s): Paula Ballan - Steve Goodman - Tony Mandel Performer(s): Steve Goodman
When I first met you baby You fed me on chicken and wine It was steak and potatoes and lobster And babe I sure felt fine But now all you ever give me Is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts You left me here with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
My stomach is empty and all I got is food for thought I been up all nite thinkin' 'Bout the twenty pounds of groceries we bought We bought ten pounds of brown rice And five more of beans And five pounds of granola And you know what that means I'm just a regular fella with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
I'm starved for affection And I don't think I can stand no more This stuff is so weird That the cock roaches moved next door Can you see that old dog out in the street He's got a big smile on his face 'Cause they let him meat Babe, I got the lemon and the Chicken Cordon Bleus
Yeah I'm goin' down to the baker and get me a cannoli And maybe a chocolate eclair would be nice...

El verso es una paloma que busca donde anidar Estalla y abre sus alas para volar y volar

Si hasta las palomas muestran
su canto dorado por el viento
cuando estan enamoradas

Where Everybody Knows Your Name Composer(s): Gary Portnoy - Judy Hart Angelo Performer(s): Gary Portnoy
Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot Wouldn't you like to get away? All those night when you've got no lights The check is in the mail And your little angel Hung the cat up by it's tail And your third fiancé didn't show
Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You want to be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead The morning's looking bright And your shrink ran off to Europe And didn't even write And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to go where people know People are all the same You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came...
Canto Arena Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Word of Mouth
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región tomando señas, descifrando encrucijadas mi cuerpo sigue practicando su cuestión cruje mi hueso y se hace la palabra Hoy continué domesticando la razón llena de asombro ante el día sucedido proyecto un rápido boceto de la acción trazo versiones que capturo del olvido
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
He puesto filo al anhelante corazón arrojo estrellas a mecharse contra vientos el sueño ha desencadenado la canción y la canción de hoy me sabe a juramento La prisa lleva maravilla y lleva error pero viajamos sobre rueda encabritada he despertado en el ojo del ciclón cuento millones de agujeros en el alma
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región con dulce látigo de abeja en la conciencia hoy me perdí amar con planificación pero gane a lo que partió con la prudencia Hoy continué dándole cuerda a mi reloj con timbre atado sobre número invisible poco me importa donde rompa mi estación si cuando rompe está rompiendo lo imposible
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
Fiorellino
French & Spanish Titles:
Petite Fleur; Florecita
Performer(s): Sidney Bechet
L'ho nascosto meglio che in un qualsiasi altro posto nel grande giardino del mio cuore fiorellino Questo fiore più grazioso di un bouquet custodisce un segreto Tutti i miei sogni d'infanzia l'amore dei miei genitori e tutte quelle albe fatte di lieti ricordi lontani Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito tu resti la mia fortuna (o portafortuna) fiorellino Sui miei 20 anni io mi fermo un momento per respirare il profumo che ho tanto amato Dentro il mio cuore tu fiorirai sempre nel grande giardino dell'amore fiorellino.... Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito tu resti la mia fortuna fiorellino Sui miei 20 anni io mi fermo un momento per respirare il profumo che tanto ho amato Dentro il mio cuore tu fiorirai sempre nel grande giardino dell'amore fiorellino....
Clémentine Et Léon Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Clémentine et Léon Barentin Qui vendaient des pendules à Pantin Se sont connus un jour en prenant leur journal À côté du café du Canal
Et le jour de la St-Valentin Ils se sont mariés sans parents ni parrains La fanfare avait joué des musiques de Chopin Clémentine et Léon étaient bien
Pendant qu'elle attendait les clients Clémentine astiquait les cadrans Et Léon tout au fond dans son beau tablier Réparait les horloges du quartier
À côté du cahier, des tampons Il y avait sur la caisse une corbeille de bonbons Les coucous qui sonnaient du matin jusqu'au soir Donnaient l'heure, la demie et le quart
Clémentine eut deux fils de Léon Il fallut agrandir la maison On reprit pour pas cher sa boutique au voisin Jusque-là les affaires marchaient bien
Mais la guerre est venue tout défaire Clémentine a pleuré pour ses fils et leur père Les pendules ont cessé d'égayer la maison Quand Léon s'en alla pour le front
Clémentine a vendu ses bijoux Accrocché son alliance à son cou Les enfants qui donnaient du travail à foison Lui faisait oublier les saisons
Les horloges arrêtées sur une heure Attendaient le retour du soldat de son cur Quand Léon apparut dans la porte un beau soir Elle a dû se pincer pour y croire
Clémentine et Léon Barentin Pour le jour de la St-Valentin Ont rouvert la boutique et l'ont rebaptisée On entendit les bruits des baisers
Il avait fabriqué de ses mains Un carillon qui jouait sur un air de Chopin Ils avaient invité pour l'inauguration Les amis, les voisins Les enfants, les cousins La fanfare, et même tout l'orphéon Clémentine et Léon
Canto Al Sol Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti Performer(s): Raphael
Amanecer en la tierra Que esta junto a la colina Ver despertar una encina Que en el dia reverdece Con amor ya le agradece El calor que el sol envia Cantan su melancolia Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol Yo canto a la madre naturaleza
Amanecer en la tierra Que esta junto a una colina Cantando la golondrina Dice que el frio se muere Ella en sus alas no quiere Tocar esta tierra fria Cantan su melancolia Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol Yo canto a la madre naturaleza
