Love Will Conquer All Composer(s): Cynthia Weil - Greg Phillinganes - Lionel Richie Performer(s): Lionel Richie and multiple other artists
Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do
Here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all
Do you really want to know Just how long love will last Will all of the bad times pass How can we make things right
Ooh and why Why is the world so unkind, We surely can find peace of mind If we only see the light, can't we that
Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do
Ooh here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all
Can somebody tell me why Why do our dreams go wrong Why can't we all belong Ooh, where do we start Oh and tell me when When will we ever learn There's nowhere else we can turn The truth is in our hearts, here we are together Sometimes the road gets hard to travel Sometimes the pains too much to bear Sometimes when life seems to unravel That's the time oh - to say We're gonna make it anyway Can't we see that
Here we are Out here me and you Reaching out each other Is all that we can do
Here we stand Trying not to fall There's no need to worry Love will conquer all ...
Gentle On My Mind Composer(s): John Hartford Performer(s): Glen Campbell; and various other artists
It's knowin' that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted On their columns now that binds me Or something that somebody said because they thought We fit together walkin' It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving When I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman crying to her mother 'Cause she turned and I was gone I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup, back from the gurgling cracklin' cauldron In some train yard My beard a roughning coal pile and a dirty hat Pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast and find That you're waving from the backroads by the rivers of my memory Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
Love Was Right Here All The Time Composer(s): Bill Henson - Charles Snoody Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn
I overlooked a love I couldn't see Until that day you walked away from me That's what it took for this poor fool to find That your sweet love was right here all the time
When we broke up I started searchin' too For our love hid from me as well as you How could I be so foolish and so blind When your true love was right here all the time
Right here was love when neither one expected it to be Right here was love before our eyes that neither one could see We'll let the world go by dear we won't mind For our true love was right here all the time
Ah play it pretty Leon
Right here was love when neither one expected it to be Right here was love before our eyes that neither one could see We'll let the world go by dear we won't mind For our true love was right here all the time
Moments Like This Composer(s): Burton Lane; Frank Loesser Performer(s): Dean Martin and various other artists
Moments like this make me thrill through and through Careless moments like this close to you Nonchalantly we'd dine and we'd dance Yet my heart seems to melt in your grace
Sweet moments like this with the soft lights aglow Make me long for your kiss though I know I'd be just one of all your affairs But at moments like this, who cares
I'd be just one of all your affairs But at moments like this, who cares
Gente Sin Swing Composer(s): Fito Paez Performer(s): Fito Paez
Gente sin swing como canciones Gente sin Swing Lejos del borde Como un radar (ciego, sordo, mudo) Sin direcciones Cómo serán sus corazones
Gente sin Swing Como ratones Gente sin swing Mundo sin soles Son un poder, como naciones Siempre estarán hasta que exploten Y aunque te inviten a su mesa No estarán de tu lado
Gente sin swing Prometedores Gente sin swing son como halcones Pueden fingir hasta que llores Pero mi amor, son impostores Y aunque te inviten su mesa, no estarán de tu lado Y aunque lo juren y prometan, no estarán de tu lado
Love Walks In Composer(s): Edward Van Halen - Sammy Hagar - Michael Anthony - Alex Van Halen Performer(s): Van Halen
Contact is all that it takes To change your life, to lose your place in time Contact Asleep or awake Coming around you may wake up to find
(Ooo-ooo-ooo) Questions deep within your eyes (Ooo-ooo-ooo) Now more than ever, you realize (Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change Nothin' feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time You lay your sanity on the line Familiar faces, familiar sights Reach back, remember with all your might
(Ooo-ooo-ooo) Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown (Ooo-ooo-ooo) Silver lights shinin' down (Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change Nothin' feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Simply pulls a string Love comes walkin' in Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave I travel far across the milky way To my master I become a slave 'Til we meet again some other day
(Ooo-ooo-ooo) Where silence speaks as loud as war (Ooo-ooo-ooo) Earth returns to what it was before (Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change Nothin' feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Simply pulls a string Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in Baby, pull the string Love comes walkin' in Love comes walkin' in, yea
Gente Humilde Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Vinícius de Moraes; Garoto Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Tem certos dias Em que eu penso em minha gente E sinto assim Todo o meu peito se apertar Porque parece Que acontece de repente Feito um desejo de eu viver Sem me notar Igual a como Quando eu passo no subúrbio Eu muito bem Vindo de trem de algum lugar E aí me dá Como uma inveja dessa gente Que vai em frente Sem nem ter com quem contar
São casas simples Com cadeiras na calçada E na fachada Escrito em cima que é um lar Pela varanda Flores tristes e baldias Como a alegria Que não tem onde encostar E aí me dá uma tristeza No meu peito Feito um despeito De eu não ter como lutar E eu que não creio Peço a Deus por minha gente É gente humilde Que vontade de chorar
Love Walked In ((Dutch Version: Kom Binnen (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997)) Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin First performance by: Kenny Baker - 1938 Covered by multiple other artists
Love walked right in and drove the shadows away Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day One magic moment and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello Though not a word was spoken One look, and I'd forgot the gloom of the past One look, and I had found my future at last One look, and I had found a world completely new When love walked in with you
Momenti Si, Momenti No
((English & French Versions: The Times We've Known (by Bob Dylan); Les Bons Moments (by Charles Aznavour))
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di vita tra di noi Quante follie, quante bugie, cercate insieme La primavera poi passo', ma non l'interno fuoco in noi Ed un legame, al di la', il male e il bene Un giorno in pace un giorno in guerra Un giorno ricchi un giorno a terra Che importa a noi bastava che ci fossi io vicino a te Momenti si momenti no, ma e' coi momenti Che si fa l'eternita' Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di cose tra di noi Tramonti chiari ed allegrie, vissute insieme Ragazzi ed incoscenti noi, adulti mai pazienti poi Il fiume in secca ormai, e le improvvise piene Sto ricordando se, chi lo sa, se oggi o tanto tempo fa Chissa' perche' ti voglio qui, tu non ci sei o forse si Tiriamo i conti e si vedra' Se eran momenti o se era gia' L'eternita', l'eternita' Momenti si, momenti no
Gente Di Mare
(Dutch Version: Alles Kwijt - 1994)
Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi - Raf Riefoli - Umberto Tozzi
First performance by: Umberto Tozzi - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
A noi che siamo gente di pianura navigatori esperti di citta' il mare ci fa sempre un po' paura per quell'idea di troppa liberta' Eppure abbiamo il sale nei capelli del mare abbiamo le profondita' e donne infreddolite negli scialli che aspettano che cosa non si sa Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Gente che muore di nostalgia ma quando torna dopo un giorno muore per la voglia di andare via E quando ci fermiamo sulla riva lo sguardo all'orizzonte se ne va portandoci i pensieri alla deriva per quell'idea di troppa liberta'
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Gente corsara che non c'e' piu' gente lontana che porta nel cuore questo grande fratello blu
Al di la' del mare c'e' qualcuno che c'e' qualcuno che non sa niente di te
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Noi prigionieri in questa citta' viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri inchiodati dalla realta'... e la gente di mare va
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Noi prigionieri in questa citta' viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri inchiodati dalla realta'... e la gente di mare va
Love Turns Winter To Spring Composer(s): Brigham Townsend - Matt Dennis Performer(s): The Four Freshmen and multiple other artists
Don't mind the weather, for when we're together Old weather man don't mean a thing If it rains or it snows, well, ev'ryone knows Love turns winter to spring
All of a sudden, the rose buds are buddin' What a miraculous thing! For like some lovely dream, with romance as theme Love turns winter to spring
I thought the cold old snow would stay and stay And stay and stay and stay But in the warmth of your wonderful smile It melted all away
I'll never wonder at lightning or thunder To me they just don't mean a thing With the song of the birds, and your lovely words Love turns winter to spring Love turns winter to spring
Genova Per Noi Composer(s): Paolo Conte Performer(s): Paolo Conte; Castellina-Pasi; Bruno Lauzi
Con quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi prima di andare a Genova che ben sicuri mai non siamo che quel posto dove andiamo non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più
Eppur parenti siamo un po' di quella gente che c'è lì che in fondo in fondo è come noi, selvatica ma che paura ci fa quel mare scuro che si muove anche di notte e non sta fermo mai
Genova per noi che stiamo in fondo alla campagna e abbiamo il sole in piazza rare volte e il resto è pioggia che ci bagna Genova, dicevo, è un'idea come un'altra Ah, la la la la la la
Ma quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi mentre guardiamo Genova ed ogni volta l'annusiamo e circospetti ci muoviamo un po' randagi ci sentiamo noi
Macaia, scimmia di luce e di follia foschia, pesci, Africa, sonno, nausea, fantasia... e intanto, nell'ombra dei loro armadi tengono lini e vecchie lavande lasciaci tornare ai nostri temporali Genova ha i giorni tutti uguali
In un'immobile campagna con la pioggia che ci bagna e i gamberoni rossi sono un sogno e il sole è un lampo giallo al parabrise...
Con quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi che abbiamo visto Genova che ben sicuri mai non siamo che quel posto dove andiamo non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più

Moment By Moment Composer(s): Lee Holdridge; Molly Ann Leiken Performer(s): Yvonne Elliman
Though our love Is like a winding road Of uncertainty I long trust your smile And all the ways you feel Touching me Moment by moment Our lifetime goes on Till one day Our somedays are gone Look at us Two drifters with a dream Scared to see it though But we're so happy now It might be beautiful If we do For moment by moment The choices we make Depend on The chances we take Oh, for moment, moment by moment Our lifetime goes on Till one day Our somedays are gone For moment, moment by moment The choices we make Depend on The chances we take Ho, moment, moment by moment
Geni E O Zepelim Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
De tudo que é nego torto Do mangue e do cais do porto Ela já foi namorada O seu corpo é dos errantes Dos cegos, dos retirantes É de quem não tem mais nada Dá-se assim desde menina Na garagem, na cantina Atrás do tanque, no mato É a rainha dos detentos Das loucas, dos lazarentos Dos moleques do internato E também vai amiúde Co'os velhinhos sem saúde E as viúvas sem porvir Ela é um poço de bondade E é por isso que a cidade Vive sempre a repetir Joga pedra na Geni Joga pedra na Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Um dia surgiu, brilhante Entre as nuvens, flutuante Um enorme zepelim Pairou sobre os edifícios Abriu dois mil orifícios Com dois mil canhões assim A cidade apavorada Se quedou paralisada Pronta pra virar geléia Mas do zepelim gigante Desceu o seu comandante Dizendo - Mudei de idéia - Quando vi nesta cidade - Tanto horror e iniquidade - Resolvi tudo explodir - Mas posso evitar o drama - Se aquela famosa dama - Esta noite me servir Essa dama era Geni Mas não pode ser Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Mas de fato, logo ela Tão coitad e tão singela Cativara o forasteiro O guerreiro tão vistoso Tão temido e poderoso Era dela, prisioneiro Acontece que a donzela - e isso era segredo dela Também tinha seus caprichos E a deitar com homem tão nobre Tão cheirando a brilho e a cobre Preferia amar com os bichos Ao ouvir tal heresia A cidade em romaria Foi beijar a sua mão O prefeito de joelhos O bispo de olhos vermelhos E o banqueiro com um milhão Vai com ele, vai Geni Vai com ele, vai Geni Você pode nos salvar Você vai nos redimir Você dá pra qualquer um Bendita Geni
Foram tantos os pedidos Tão sinceros tão sentidos Que ela dominou seu asco Nessa noite lancinante Entregou-se a tal amante Como quem dá-se ao carrasco Ele fez tanta sujeira Lambuzou-se a noite inteira Até ficar saciado E nem bem amanhecia Partiu numa nuvem fria Com seu zepelim prateado Num suspiro aliviado Ela se virou de lado E tentou até sorrir Mas logo raiou o dia E a cidade em cantoria Não deixou ela dormir Joga pedra na Geni Joga bosta na Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Molly Malone (aka Cockles And Mussles) Composer(s): James Yorkston; Edmund Forman
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder For so were her father and mother before And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She died of a fever and no one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
