Trem Das Onze
Trem Das Onze
Composer(s): Adoniran Barbosa
First release: Demônios da Garoa - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Não posso ficar , não posso ficar
Nem mais um minuto com você
Sinto muito amor, mas não pode ser
Moro em Jaçanã Se eu perder esse trem
Que sai agora às onze horas
Só amanhã de manhã
E, além disso, mulher
Tem outra coisa
Minha mãe não dorme enquanto eu não chegar
Sou filho único
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
Não posso ficar...

I Never Thought It Peculiar
I Never Thought It Peculiar
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): The Monkees
I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile
I wasn't socially suited
To make it worth your while
Oh no and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum
Each time I would see you walk by me
You were as pretty as they come
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don't think it's terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don't think its terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine
That now, little girl, you are mine
That now, little girl, you are mine

Earth Song
Earth Song
((Dutch Version: Aardsong (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1997))
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
First release by: Michael Jackson - 1995
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don’t know where we are
Although I know we’ve drifted far
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday
(what about us)
What about the seas
(what about us)
The heavens are falling down
(what about us)
I can’t even breathe
(what about us)
What about everything
(what about us)
I have given you
(what about us)
What about nature’s worth
(ooo,ooo)
It’s our planet’s womb
(what about us)
What about animals
(what about it)
We’ve turned kingdoms to dust
(what about us)
What about elephants
(what about us)
Have we lost their trust
(what about us)
What about crying whales
(what about us)
We’re ravaging the seas
(what about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(what about us)
What about the holy land
(what about it)
Torn apart by creed
(what about us)
What about the common man
(what about us)
Can’t we set him free
(what about us)
What about children dying
(what about us)
Can’t you hear them cry
(what about us)
Where do we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(what about us)
What about baby boy
(what about it)
What about the days
(what about us)
What about all their joy
(what about us)
What about the men
(what about us)
What about the crying man
(what about us)
What about abraham
(what was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Trem Das Cores
Trem Das Cores
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Quarteto em Cy
A franja da encosta
Cor de Laranja
Capim rosa chá
O mel desses olhos luz
Mel de cor ímpar
O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra
A prata do trem
A lua e a estrela
Anel de turquesa
Os átomos todos dançam
Madruga
Reluz neblina
Criancas cor de romã
Entram no vagão
O oliva da nuvem chumbo
Ficando
P'ra trás da manhã
E a seda azul do papel
Que envolve a maçã
As casas tão verde e rosa
Que vão passando ao nos ver passar
Os dois lados da janela
E aquela num tom de azul
Quase inesistente azul que não há
Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar
Teu cabelo preto
Explícito objeto
Castanhos lábios
Ou p'ra ser exato
Lábios cor de açaí
E aqui trem das cores
Sabe os projetos
Tocar na central
E o céu de um azul
Celeste celestial

I Never Met Colette
I Never Met Colette
Performer(s): Albie Wycherley
I used to hang around with our kid
We both thought Elvis was the one
Though he was shy, he was ready
I guess he knew his time would come
He used to work down on the tug boats
When Billy played his guitar
And when he sang his songs to Margo
She told him that he'd be a star
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?
He made the charts, he made the movies
He'd often run and hide away
To sit and wonder at the wild life
Or simply watch the horses play
When Jealousy became a classic
It was a favourite at the Loc
Now paradise is where you'll find him
He was the gentle king of rock
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?

Earth Day Every Day (Celebrate)
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
Celebrate morning
The cry of a loon on a lake in the night
The dreams that are born in the dawns early light
Celebrate morning
Celebrate living
The laughter that sings in the heart of a child
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild
Celebrate living
Celebrate evening
The stars that appear in the loss of the sun
Whispering winds, We are one, we are one...
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me
Celebrate earth Day, every day

The Trees
The Trees
Composer(s): Nick Banks - Jarvis Cocker - Candida Doyle - Steve Mackey - Mark Webber
Performer(s): Pulp
I took an air rifle
Full of buckeye to the ground
And it died without a sound
Your skin's so pale
Against the fallen autumn leaves
No-one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
I carved your name
With a heart just up above
Now swollen, distorted
Unrecognisable, like our love
You smell of leaf mould
And the sweetness of decay
Or the incense at the funeral procession here today
And the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Ah
Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
Oh, no, I might as well
I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah
Oh yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Go and tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah

I Never Loved Anyone
I Never Loved Anyone
Composer(s): George "Funky" Brown
Performer(s): Steve Conway
and multiple other artists
I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
I never saw anyone more than once, maybe twice
But I had no ties until my eyes saw you
I may have kissed one or two
Three or four, maybe more
But after all I didn’t fall
And who they were I can’t recall
For I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
I may have kissed one or two
Three or four, maybe more
But after all I didn’t fall
And who they were I can’t recall
I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
For everything that I love I find in you

Trees
Trees
Composer(s): Joyce Kilmer - Oscar Rasbach
First recording/First release: Isham Jones' Orch. - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree

Composer(s): Ronnie Shannon
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad
No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it

To keep it ever green
I would lay my life down
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen

Ma Come Fa La Gente Sola
Ma Come Fa La Gente Sola
((Adapted from: Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles) - 1966))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Gianna Albini
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1986
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Eleonor Rigby (Erick Saint-Laurent)
1966 - Eleanor Rigby (Finnish Version) (Topmost)
La gente e sola
nelle stazioni ai giardini in chiesa e nei bar
e nelle scuole
la gente sola
cova i ricordi di lampade spente da un click
nei loro “tic”
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come fa…
Vivono in gabbie
di solitudine e poi si trasformar hi…
facce da “rugby”
E fanno rabbia
quando per ore rimettono dentro “I Juke-box”
“Eleonor Rigby”
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
dimmi dove va
Ma come fa la gente sola
“Sola”
“Sola”
a stare sola come me…
“Sola”
Io sono solo
da poche ore ed ancora non sono un “Robot"
senza parole
E il marciapiede
si abbassa e se non ritomi fra poco sara
una palude
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come me
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
sola come me
Ma come fa la gente sola

I Never Knew Your Name
I Never Knew Your Name
German Title: Wenn Ich Wüßte Wie Du Heißt
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Although we've never, never danced
I loved you with just one glance
You were dancing, I was glancing
As you passed me on the floor
You saw me glancing but you kept dancing
Out of the room and through the door
I beg your pardon, but in the garden
He placed a flower in your hair
But when he kissed you, oh how I missed you
Wishing that I were there
Then I dreamed upon a star
Wishing I was where you are
How I thought the day would never come
And when I thought that I was first
All at once my bubble burst
And I was standing where I started from
To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name
(la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-laaa)
To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name
(la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
la la-la-la la!)

First recording/First release: Elvis Presley - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice
I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair
You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair
You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice
If you really want my love then treat me nice

Performer(s): Alice Faye
and multiple other artists
I never knew heaven could speak, but now I do
I've learned it through a conversation with you
I never knew heaven could dance, but now I do
With every step another little dream comes true

Way up high in the sky up above
I never thought heaven was someone
Like you, for me to love
I never knew heaven could hold such tender charms
I never knew heaven could be here in my arms

Early One Morning
Early One Morning
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
and multiple other artists
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid sing in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"
Remember the vows that you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me
Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind over thee
Here I now wander alone as I wonder
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain
I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken
Why must I here in sorrow remain?
Through yonder grove, by the spring that is running
There you and I have so merrily played
Kissing and courting and gently sporting
Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed
How could you slight so a pretty girl who loves you
A pretty girl who loves you so dearly and warm?
Though love's folly is surely but a fancy
Still it should prove to me sweeter than your scorn
Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden
Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while
Thus ever ranging, turning and changing
Always seeking for a girl that is new
Thus sang the maiden, her sorrows bewailing
Thus sang the poor maid in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"
