A Un Gato Composer(s): J.L. Borges - Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
No son más silenciosos los espejos Ni más furtiva el alba aventurera Eres, bajo la luna, esa pantera Que nos es dado divisar de lejos Por obra indescifrable de un decreto Divino, te buscamos vanamente Más remoto que el Ganges y el poniente Tuya es la soledad, tuyo el secreto Tu lomo condesciende a la morosa Caricia de mi mano Has admitido Desde esa eternidad que ya es olvido El amor de la mano recelosa En otro tiempo estás Eres el dueño De un ámbito cerrado como un sueño

Twentieth Century Fox Composer(s): John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison First release: The Doors - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, she's fashionably lean and she's fashionably late she'll never rank a scene he'll never break a date But she's no drag, just watch the way she walks She's a Twentieth Century Fox she's a Twentieth Century Fox
No tears, no fears, no ruined years, no clocks She's a Twentieth Century Fox
She's the queen of cool and she's the lady who waits since her mind left school it never hesitates She won't waste time on elementary talk She's a Twentieth Century Fox she's a Twentieth Century Fox
Got the world locked up inside a plastic box She's a Twentieth Century Fox, Yeh Twentieth Century Fox Twentieth Century Fox
Warm And Tender Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
Make me yours, make me yours, make me yours
When my lips are touching yours, my love Heaven opens up its doors, my love Warm and tender soul, warm and tender love Lips that you grant me just seem to enchant me We kiss and I know I've been kissed
When I'm lost in your embrace, my love It's like flyin' into space, my love Warm and tender soul, warm and tender your Arms hold me tightly, they thrill and excite me And I'd be a fool to resist you
The moment you're near my life can start When we're apart, my life is through Each single tingle deep down in my heart Just beats for you, beats for you, beats for you!
With each yearning burning in my soul Loving only you will be my goal Warm and tender in sweet surrender I Offer my lips and I offer my arms and I Offer my heart that implores Won't you make me yours?
A Tua Presença Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Sergio Pires & Bobby Broom
A tua presença Entra pelos sete buracos Da minha cabeça A tua presença Pelos olhos, bocas, narinas e orelhas A tua presença Paralisa o meu momento A tua presença
A tua presença Desintegra e atualiza A minha presença A tua presença Envolve meu tronco Meus braços e minhas pernas A tua presença É branca, verde, vermelha Azul e Amarela A tua presença É negra, é negra, é negra, é negra A tua presença
A tua presença Transborda pelas portas e pelas janelas A tua presença Silencia os automóveis E as motocicletas A tua presença Se espalha no campo derrubando as cercas A tua presença
A tua presença A tudo que se come Tudo que se reza A tua presença Coagula o jorro da noite sangrenta A tua presença É a coisa mais bonita Em toda natureza A tua presença Mantém sempre teso O arco da promessa A tua presença É negra, é negra, é negra, é negra A tua presença
War Child Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; The London Symphony Orch.
I'll take you down to that bright city mile there to powder your sweet face and paint on a smile that will show all of the pleasures and none of the pain when you join my explosion and play with my games War Child dance the days, and dance the nights away No unconditional surrender; no armistice day each night I'll die in my contentment and lie in your grave While you bring me water and I give you wine let me dance in your tea-cup and you shall swim in mine War Child dance the days, and dance the nights away Open your windows and I'll walk through your doors Let me live in your country --- let me sleep by your shores War Child dance the days, and dance the nights away
Não é veneno A tua boca Quando chama a luz do dia Quando diz que a chama é pouca Quando ama tão vadia Se reclama ser tão pouca A outra boca que esvazia Quando beija ou abandona Quando clama entre as chamas Quando chia Quando pia entre as ramas Quando adoça é como ardia Não é veneno quando mata Quando salva e quando adia Quando louca Não é veneno a tua boca Quando é coisa de magia
Quando cobra que se enrosca Quando água que se afoga Quando forca que alivia
In the mornin' when you wake up you've got planes flyin' in the sky Flying bombs made to break up all the lights in your eyes
There's a man who says he can put an end to war They shot George Wallace down, he'll never walk around mines are sleepin' in the sea Blow those bridges down and burn that jungle down kill those Vietnamese
There's a man who says he can put an end to war In the mornin' when you wake up you've got planes flyin' in the sky Flying bombs made to break up all the lights in your eyes There's a man who says he can put an end to war
A Trick Of The Tail Composer(s): Tony Banks Performer(s): Genesis
Bored of the life on the city of gold He'd left and let nobody know Gone were the towers he had known from a child Alone with the dream of a life He travelled the wide open road The blinkered arcade In search of another to share in his life Nowhere Everyone looked so strange to him
They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept as they led him away to a cage Beast that can talk, read the sign The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again But soon they grew bored of their prey Beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt Oh No
They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold Let me take you there, show you a living story Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave?
They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept
And so we set out with the best and his horns And his crazy description of home After many days journey we came to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all But the beast was gone and a voice was heard
They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance
War Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Edwin Starr
Oh no-there's got to be a better way Say it again There's got to be a better way-yeah What is it good for? War has caused unrest Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction Who wants to die? War-huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Say it again War-huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
Yeah War-I despise 'Cos it means destruction Of innocent lives War means tears To thousands of mothers how When their sons go off to fight And lose their lives I said War-huh It's an enemy of all mankind No point of war 'Cos you're a man War has caused unrest Among the younger generation
Give it to me one time-now Give it to me one time-now War has shattered Many young men's dreams We've got no place for it today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord, there's just got to be a better way It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker War Friend only to the undertaker War War War-Good God, now Now Give it to me one time now Now now What is it good for?
A Tree In The Park Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Helen Morgan and multiple other artists
When the noisy town lets its windows down Little slaves are free at night Then we'll soon retreet from the busy street Till the crowds are out of sight There's a rendezvous for lovers Where we two can play Very near your door, In the city's core But it seems a millions miles away
Meet me underneath our little tree in the park No one else around, but you and me in the dark Just five minutes from your door-step I'll wait for your step to come along And the city's roar becomes a song
While I'm waiting, I discover more in your charms Suddenly I turn around and your in my arms And if there's a moon above you I'll carve "I Love You" upon the bark Underneath our little tree, inside the park
We'll make ev'ry bough shake, and wonder how Two could be so nearly one Ev'ry blade of grass sadly sighs, "Alas!" Grass can never have such fun In the desert town's oasis We'll love 'neath the tree It can't be amiss if the birdies kiss We're as good as birds, aren't we?
A Tree In The Meadow Composer(s): Billy Reid Performer(s): Margaret Whiting and multiple other artists
There's a tree in the meadow With a stream drifting by And carved upon that tree I see "I love you till I die" I will always remember The love in your eye The day you carved upon that tree "I love you till I die" But further on down lovers' lane A silhouette I see I know you're kissing someone else I wish that it were me By that tree in the meadow My thoughts always lie And wherever you go, you'll always know I love you till I die
Wanted Man Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Lee J. Pockriss Performer(s): Frankie Laine
Bullet in my shoulder Blood runnin' down my vest Twenty in the posse and they're never Gonna let me rest
Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun But now they hunt me like a mountain cat And I'm always, always, always on the run
I killed poor Jed Kline in bad Laredo fight Killed him with my bare hands for the girl I loved that night Jed's brother's out to get me He's comin' with a gang But I'd rather shoot it out, by God Than let 'em watch me hang
Bullet in my shoulder!! Blood runnin' down my vest Twenty in the posse!! And they're never gonna let me rest Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun But now they hunt me like a mountain cat And I'm always (always), always (always), always on the run
She had spangles on her red dress She had laughter in her voice When he tried to put his hands on her My heart left me no choice But was she really worth it? Well, I guess I'll never know She'll be drinking someone else's rye When I'm six feet below
Bullet in my shoulder!! Blood runnin' down my vest Twenty in the posse!! And they're never gonna let me rest Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun But now they hunt me like a mountain cat And I'm always (always), always (always), always on the run
À Travers Elle, Tu T'aimes Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadianmandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
J'ai r'péré, l'endroit est "classe" T'entendrais voler un fax Détends-toi, cool, sois relax "Garçon !... la carte !... " alors, dis-moi c' qui s'passe
J'en suis sûr, tu vas me dire qu'un' fois d' plus elle t'a laissé tomber C'est pas pour m' vanter, pour dire, mais faudra bien t'y habituer
Quand j' te parle, tu n'entends rien Tu t' répands dans ton chagrin Tu monologues, j' me mets sur "pause" On est deux mais y a qu' toi qui cause
Toi tu as la prétention d'être modeste, facile à gérer J' la connais pas, j'imagine, un' saint faut t' respirer
À travers elle, tu t'aimes, tout en toi te passionne Si t'es si malheureux tu n' f'ras le bonheur de personne À travers elle, tu t'aimes, tout en toi te passionne Si t'es malheureux tu n' f'ras le bonheur de personne
Tu n' perds pas le sens du pratique Même dans les moments les plus critiques T'as pensé à m'inviter... merci... Mais t'as oublié ton chéquier
Je te fais don de mon crédit toutes les fois où t'as b'soin d' moi Je crois comm' ça qu'on est quitte, que ça n'arrive qu'à toi
À travers elle, tu t'aimes, tout en toi te passionne Si t'es si malheureux tu n' f'ras le bonheur de personne À travers elle, tu t'aimes, tout en toi te passionne Si t'es malheureux tu n' f'ras le bonheur de personne
À Tout Jamais Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quand nous aurons fermé les yeux À tout jamais, à tout jamais À l'instant du dernier adieu J'en aurai encore du regret J'en aurai encore du remords Et partirai avec ma peine Et pour peu que je me souvienne Ce mal n'en sera que plus fort Car nous avons fermé nos coeurs À tout jamais, à tout jamais Pour remplacer tant de bonheur Par du chagrin et des regrets
Lorsque les siècles bout à bout À tout jamais, à tout jamais Aurons mis le passé sur nous Et que l'oubli sera complet S'il reste encore une lueur S'il reste encore un rien de flamme Sous la cendre tiède de l'âme Qui paraît-il jamais ne meurt Pour trouver le calme infini À tout jamais, à tout jamais Tout comme au temps de notre vie Mon amour je te chercherai T'appellerai Te trouverai Te garderai À tout jamais
