The Cincinnati Kid Composer(s): Dorcas Cochran - Lalo Schifrin Performer(s): Ray Charles and multiple other artists
He came with the name Cincinnati A kid with no ace in the hole On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati Had staked his heart and soul He played night and day like a demon And prayed for that one lucky day When the lush royal flush of his dreaming Is just a game away Beyond all the green felt shadows His own queen of hearts will wait But till he's king of the green felt shadows She'll wait, and wait, and wait For sure as the cards will be falling And chips in the pot, he'll remain For the book Lady Luck will be calling
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I mean the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid
Canzone Del Rimpianto
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Lascierà il confine l'inverno, e se ne andrà
canterà l'uccello che ieri non cantò ...
ma scosceso è il monte
ed io so che i fiori suoi
non mi cederà
Frutti porterà questo ampio melo
frutti verdi e rossi che non coglierò ...
per un'altra terra io camminerò, là l'autunno
mi ritroverà
Fire And Water Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Rodgers Performer(s): Free; and various other artists
Every single day I got a heartache comin' my way I don't wanna say goodbye, baby but look at the tears in my eye I don't wanna say goodbye, mama But look at the way you made me cry And every way that's nice You'll show you got a heart that's made of ice

Canzone
Composer(s): Samuele Bersani - Lucio Dalla
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Non so aspettarti più di tanto Ogni minuto mi dà L'stinto di cucire il tempo E di portarti di qua Ho un materasso di parole Scritte apposta per te E ti direi spegni la luce Che il cielo c'è Star lontano da lei non si vive Stare senza di lei mi uccide
Testa dura testa di rapa Vorrei amarti anche qua Nel cesso di una discoteca O sopra il tavolo di un bar O stare nudi in mezzo a un campo A sentirsi addosso il vento Io non chiedo più di tanto Anche se muoio son contento
Star lontano da lei non si vive Stare senza di lei mi uccide
Canzone cercala se puoi dille che non mi perda mai va' per le strade e tra la gente diglielo veramente
Io i miei occhi dai tuoi occhi Non li staccherei mai E adesso anzi me li mangio Tanto tu non lo sai Occhi di mare senza scogli Il mare sbatte su di me Che ho sempre fatto solo sbagli Ma uno sbaglio che cos'è
Stare lontano da lei non si vive Stare senza di lei mi uccide
Canzone cercala se puoi dille che non mi lasci mai va' per le strade e tra la gente diglielo dolcemente
E come lacrime la pioggia Mi ricorda la tua faccia Io la vedo in ogni goccia Che mi cade sulla giacca
Stare lontano da lei non si vive Stare senza di lei mi uccide
Canzone trovala se puoi dille che l'amo e se lo vuoi va' per le strade e tra la gente diglielo veramente non può restare indifferente e se rimane indifferente non è lei
Fire And Rain Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you like down upon me Jesus You gotta help me make a stand You just got to see me through another day My body's achin'and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time My back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things comin' my way this time around Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

The church bells are ringing on Christmas morn
They're bringing the message that Christ is born
The music they're singing brings rapture and bliss

For those who have faith and an open mind
They're ringing their ring of Christmas song

Canzone
Composer(s): Don Backy - Detto Mariano
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano; Don Backy; Milva
Nel più bel sogno, ci sei solamente tu sei come un'ombra che non tornerà mai più tristi sono le rondini nel cielo mentre vanno verso il mare é la fine di un amore
Io sogno e nel mio sogno vedo che non parlerò d'amore, non ne parlerò mai più quando siamo alla fine di un amore piangerà soltanto un cuore perché l'altro se ne andrà Ora che sto pensando ai miei domani son bagnate le mie mani sono lacrime d'amore
Nel più bel sogno ci sei solamente tu sei come un'ombra che non tornerà mai più questa canzone vola per il cielo le sue note nel mio cuore stan segnando il mio dolore Questa canzone vola per il cielo le sue note nel mio cuore stan segnando il mio dolore
Fire And Ice Composer(s): Pat Benatar; Tom Kelly; Scott St. Clair Sheets Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rasputina
Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight I don't wanna give in I'd be playin' with fire You forget, I've seen you work before Take `em straight to the top Leave `em cryin' for more I've seen you burn `em before
Chorus: Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart
You'll just tear it apart
Movin' in for the kill tonight You got every advantage when they put out the lights It's not so pretty when it fades away Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play I've seen you burn `em before
Chorus
So you think you got it all figured out You're an expert in the field, without a doubt But I know your methods inside and out And I won't be takin' in by Fire and ice
Chorus
You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart
You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice
You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice
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...
