The Lady Is A Woman Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Jerry Reed
She's elegant she's gracious a lady of the finest social set And you're the rich man that can buy her all the world And what she wants she gets You give her charge to count some cheque books Thinking that's the way to keep her satisfied But what she needs the most is what no charge or count of cheque book ever buy
The lady is a woman even you should understand While the lady may need soft things the woman needs a man Yes the lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love [ guitar ] Well all I do is drive your limousine and chauffer you the way you'd like to go But when I look at your lady even I can see there's something you don't know You give her everything she wanted but not one of the things she really needs Yes you still may have your lady but lately now your woman comes to me
Your lady is a woman even you should understand While your lady may need soft things still your woman needs a man Your lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love
Ô menina vai ver nesse almanaque como é que isso tudo começou Diz quem é que marcava o tique-taque e a ampulheta do tempo disparou Se mamava de sabe lá que teta o primeiro bezerro que berrou Me responde, por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem penava no sol a vida inteira, como é que a moleira não rachou Me diz, me diz Quem tapava esse sol com a peneira e quem foi que a peneira esfuracou Quem pintou a bandeira brasileira que tinha tanto lápis de cor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Diz quem foi que fez o primeiro teto que o projeto não desmoronou Quem foi esse pedreiro, esse arquiteto, e o valente primeiro morador Diz quem foi que inventou o analfabeto e ensinou o alfabeto ao professor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem é que sabe o signo do capeta, o ascendente de Deus Nosso Senhor Quem não fez a patente da espoleta explodir na gaveta do inventor Quem tava no volante do planeta que o meu continente capotou Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Vê se tem no almanaque, essa menina, como é que termina um grande amor Se adianta tomar uma aspirina ou se bate na quina aquela dor Se é chover o ano inteiro chuva fina ou se é como cair o elevador Me responde por favor Pra que tudo começou Quando tudo acaba
(Wish I Could) Hideaway Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Howdy, friend, begging your pardon Is there something on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings Is that something in your eye?
Well, I know you really never Liked the way it all goes down Go on, Hideaway
What's that you say? We're all bound for the graveyard Ooh, I wish you well Think it's gonna rain Oh, what's the difference Is there some way I can help?
'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh, Lord Wish I Could Hideaway
Hold on, give yourself a chance I can hear the leaving train
All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! Ooh, I wish you well See you soon, maybe tomorrow You can never tell
"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh Wish I could Hideaway
Alma, Corazón Y Vida Composer(s): Adrián Flores Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists
Recuerdo aquella vez que yo te conocí Recuerdo aquella tarde Pero no me acuerdo ni como te vi Pero si te diré que yo me enamoré De esos tus lindos ojos De tus labios rojos que no olvidaré Oye esta canción que lleva Alma, corazón y vida Esas tres cositas nada más te doy Porque no tengo fortuna Estas tres cosas te ofrezco Alma, corazón y vida y nada más Alma para conquistarte Corazón para quererte Y vida para vivirla junto a ti
Ik zal Irak nooit binnenvallen Ik ben betrouwbaar tot en met Ik stamp nooit in iemand zijn ballen Ik surf nooit naar seks op het internet Ik wil niemand in de weg staan Ik ben nooit fake of nep Omdat mijn stoppen enkel doorslaan Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik ga nooit in Holland wonen Ik roep nooit: Vlaanderen vrij Of tegen ultra-francofonen Jullie doen net zo flauw als wij Je zal me zellen drugs zien dealen Ik geef nooit een vrouw een mep Ik krijg alleen maar dat debiele Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik zou nooit om te plagen Aan iemand zonder benen vragen Welke snelheid hij nog haalt met zijn step Ik stop nooit om te pesten Zowat condooms in vreemde vesten Tenzij ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik wil een misverstand vermijden Dus zeg ik eerlijk en oprecht En in alle bescheidenheid Slapen kan ik echt ... heel slecht
Alma Mía En La Noche Composer(s): Horacio Guarany Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Alma alma mía en la noche Vuela como un pájaro azul Sueña con la paz de los hombres con la risa de un niño con tu amor y mi amor Alma corazón en las nubes Busca tu ternura y tu luz dulce mi guitarra te canta canción que en mi garganta se hace llanto por vos Adonde irás poema gris cuando no esté cerca de ti? adónde iré cuando no estés? La vida no es verdad sin ti... Alma tanto amor en las manos quema como un infierno cruel busca como un pájaro ciego esa paz y el sosiego que le da tu querer Deja que murmure la gente Ama como nunca has de amar piensa que tu llanto es mi llanto y cuando haya una pena junto a ti he de llorar
Wisdom Of A Fool Composer(s): Roy Alfred; Abner Silver Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; and various other artists
If youre lucky enough To have someone who loves you Then be glad that you got Someone who loves you Cold lips that were warm Can grow cool Listen to the wisdom of a fool When you take his poor heart And you do something to it And you think to yourself Why did I do it You may find that the World can be cruel Listen to the wisdom of a fool Now I had a love Just the same as you And I was a fool Not to see But you still have time to say Your love him Im afraid its too late for me So, go back to the arms That you know will be waiting Hold him close in your arms And be glad that hes waiting Youll be happy Believe me, if youll Only listen to the wisdom of a fool Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
Alma Mater Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
Looking back a few short years When we made our plans and played the cards The way they fell
Clinging to our confidence We stood on the threshold of the goal That we knew dear
And though we... had our fights Had our short... tempered nights I couldn't pull our dreams apart All our needs and all our wants Drawn together in our heart We felt it from the very start
It's all happened recently Now we're living in that dream We had not long ago
Everything is going fine And now we just have to keep in mind...
We must set... brand new goals We must not... lose control Of the possiblity... of finding the discovery That would let everybody see That we were just meant to be
Winter World Of Love Composer(s): Barry Mason; Leslie Reed Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck; and various other artists
My love, the days are colder So, let me take your hand And lead you through a snow-white land Oh, oh Oh, oh
My love, the year is older So, let me hold you tight And wile away this winter night Oh, oh
I see the firelight in your eyes Come kiss me now, before it dies We'll find a winter world of love 'Cause love is warmer in December My darling, stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground We found our winter world of love
Because the nights are longer We'll have the time to say such tender things Before each day Oh, oh Oh, oh
And then, when love is stronger Perhaps, you'll give your heart And promise that we'll never part, oh, no
And at the end of every year I'll be so glad to have you near We'll find a winter world of love 'Cause love is warmer in December My darling, stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground We found our winter world of love

Alma Mater Composer(s): Neal Smith Performer(s): Alice Cooper
Rain is falling Down my cheek Searching for the sea Tomorrow, like the rain I'll be back home again
I watch The bus As it pulls out of view Someday like that bus I will be leavin too
But you know It breaks my heart To leave you Camelback My high school
And now Alone Cryin in my beer 'Cause old friends said Goodbye, I guess I'll be leavin too
But you know It breaks my heart To leave you Cortez I'll miss you
Yes I will Yes I will You know I will
Yes I will Yes I will You know I will
Well so long Everybody I hope that I would see you again Goodbye Everybody I finally grew up They finally let me out of school
Hey, remember the time - 'member the time We took that snake And put down little Betsy's dresss? Now I don't think Miss Axelrod Was much impressed No I don't think Miss Axelrod Was much impressed Well I don't think Miss Axelrod Was much impressed
Oh, goodbye Everybody I hope that I would see you again So long Everybody How do you like that They finally let me out of school Goodbye Ah, I wanna get out of here They let me out of school How 'bout that, uh? Goodbye Hey, goodbye, guys Maybe I'll see Maybe I'll see you around some time, uh? 'Ey, don't make a stranger of yourself, uh? Remember the Coop, uh?

Winterwood Composer(s): Don McLean Performer(s): Don McLean; and various other artists
No-one can take your place with me And time has proven that I'm right There's no place I'd rather be Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen No moment steals away unfound Lifetime lived in such a dream Floats like a feather to the ground
(Chorus) And for the first time I've been seeing The things I'd never notice, without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I use to treasure, about you
The birds like leaves on Winterwood Sing hopeful songs on dismal days They've learned to live life as they should They are at peace with natures ways
You are as natural as the night And all that springs from you is good And the children born beneath your light Are like the birds on Winterwood
Alma De Acero Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Podrás tener mucha suerte podrás andar por el mundo destrozando corazones podrás tener mil amores pero este que estás dejando aunque quisieras no lo repones
Tú sabes que soy parejo ya te lo dije una vez si yo no te causo penas no quiero que me las des
Tú ya conoces mi vida a veces me ando cayendo y el orgullo me levanta nací con el alma de acero y aunque deveras te quiero te dejo que me abandones nomás no llores si alguién te canta
Tú sabes que soy parejo ya te lo dije una vez si yo no te causo penas no quiero que me las des
Neguémonos a ser tiempo en el espacio amémonos practiquemos el milagro de ser uno y sólo uno mitad ángel, mitad diablo Alma, alma que el deseo no es el agua ama, ama y canta, canta ni a la tierra ni a la llama ni a ese aire que no sabe la que es todo, la que es nada la que es tuyo, lo que es mío lo que es cuerpo, lo que es alma alma, alma Dejémonos de metáforas y frases callémonos lo banal y lo importante y acudamos al silencio que es el más bello lenguaje a1ma, alma nos separan las palabras calla, calla y habla, habla háblame con la mirada allí donde se confunde lo que es todo, lo que es nada lo que es tuyo, lo que es mío lo que es cuerpo, lo que es alma alma, alma Neguémonos amémonos dejémonos callémonos
Winter's Comin' On Again Composer(s): Neal Merritt Performer(s): Dick Curless
Today I heard the cold winds moan And I saw some geese up on the wing A southern home waits their returnin' Ah, to be such a lucky thing Nobody cares where I am goin' And I don't remember where I've been I only know the cold wind's blowin' And winter's comin' on again
Once I was young and had a reason For doin' everything I did A pretty girl for every season Without a conscience to forbid And I used to know someone in this town Someone I used to call a friend But we ain't walkin' on the same ground And winter's comin' on again
When that old sun comes up tomorrow I'll find a highway headin' south Maybe the sun will ease my sorrow 'Cause down south is where I started out If someone asks me where you goin' Well I'm just lookin' for the end Too many cold winds I felt blowin' And winter's comin' on again And winter's comin' on again
Allumettes Polka Composer(s): Albert Willemetz - Claude Normand Performer(s): André Bourvil
Une suédoise très mince et très jolie aimait a la folie un p'tit gars de bougie Le soir venu quand l'usine fermait de leur boite ils sortaient et crac ils se frottaient Et bien qu'ils soient lui en cire, elle en bois possédaient tous deux un tempérament d'feu Et dans la nuit quand leurs flammes dansaient la Suédoise brûlait le gars bougie fondait
Allumett', allumett', allumett', allumett' Polka Amusett', Amourett', Aussi bête, Aussi bête que ca
Mais le p'tit gars il voyait qu'un peu trop vite elle flambait soufflait dessus dans le désir pour faire durer le plaisir
Allumett', allumett', allumett', allumett' Polka Amusett', Amourett', Aussi bête, Aussi bête que ca
Les boulettes qu'on regrette se commettent comme ça C'est un jeu bien dangereux de jouer avec le feu pour frotter l'allumette sans fermer la pochette
Mais peu a peu comm'ils frottaient trop fort tous 2 a bout d'effort usèrent tout leur phosphore le p'tit gars tout essoufflé sur l'allumette soufflée Dans leur pays l'amour est fait ainsi plus leur coeur s'enflammaient plus ils se consumaient Le lendemain par terre il ne resta de leur amour qu'un tas de cendres que l'on jeta
Allumett', allumett', allumett', allumett' Polka Amusett', Amourett', Aussi bête, Aussi bête que ca
Amusett', Amourett', Aussi bête, Aussi bête que ca
Que dans cette chanson soit une leçon pour toutes les filles et tous les garçons à flamber soirs et matins bien vite l'on s'éteint
Allumett', allumett', allumett', allumett' Polka Amusett', Amourett', Aussi bête, Aussi bête que ca
Blondinett' et brunett', retenez, retenez cela
L'amour vous brûle les doigts dit un vieux dicton suédois quand y a plus d'allumette la pochette on la jette
Winter Weather Composer(s): Ted Shapiro Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
I love the winter weather Because the two of us can get together There's nothing sweeter, finer When it's nice and cold I can hold Baby closer, to me Collecting all the kisses that are due me I love the winter weather Because I've got my love to keep me warm I love the winter weather Because the two of us can get together There's nothing sweeter, finer When it's nice and cold I can hold Baby closer, to me Collecting little kisses that are due me I love the winter weather Because I've got my love to keep me warm So warm
Allumer Le Feu Composer(s): Pierre Jaconelli - Pascal Obispo - Zazie Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Tourner le temps à l'orage Revenir à l'état sauvage Forcer les portes, les barrages Sortir le loup de sa cage Sentir le vent qui se déchaîne Battre le sang dans nos veines Monter le son des guitares Et le bruit des motos qui démarrent
Il suffira d'une étincelle D'un rien, d'un geste Il suffira d'une étincelle Et d'un mot d'amour Pour Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et faire danser les diables et les dieux Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et voir grandir la flamme dans vos yeux Allumer le feu
Laisser derrière toutes nos peines Nos haches de guerre, nos problèmes Se libérer de nos chaînes Lâcher le lion dans l'arène
Je veux la foudre et l'éclair L'odeur de poudre, le tonnerre Je veux la fête et les rires Je veux la foule en délire
Il suffira d'une étincelle D'un rien, d'un contact Il suffira d'une étincelle D'un peu de jour Pour Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et faire danser les diables et les dieux Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et voir grandir la flamme dans vos yeux Allumer le feu
Il suffira d'une étincelle D'un rien, d'un geste Il suffira d'une étincelle D'un mot d'amour pour Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et faire danser les diables et les dieux Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et voir grandir la flamme dans vos yeux Oh! allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et faire danser, les diables et les dieux Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Et voir grandir la flamme dans vos yeux Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Allumer le feu Allumer le feu
