Atrás Do Trio Elétrico
Atrás Do Trio Elétrico
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Nara Leão
Atrás do trio elétrico
só não vai quem já morreu
Quem já botou pra quebrar
Aprendeu, que é do outro lado
Do lado de lá do lado
Que é do lado de lá
O Sol é seu
O som é meu
Quero morrer
Quero morrer já
O som é seu
O sol é meu
Quero viver
Quero viver lá
Nem quero saber se o diabo
Nasceu, foi na Bahia
O trio elétrico
O Sol morreu
No meio-dia
No meio-dia

I Promise To Remember
Composer(s): Jimmy Smith; Jimmy Castor
Performer(s): The Jimmy Castor Bunch
and multiple other artists
I promise to love you no matter what you do
I want you, I need you, I love you through and through
I promise, promise to be true
I promise to remember the meaning of romance
If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance
I promise, promise to be true
My darling I have promised to give you my heart
Oh darling promise me we will never part
I know I'm not a king and I'm not very wise
But one thing you must realize
I promise to remember the meaning of romance
If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance
I promise, promise to be true
My darling I have promised to give you my heart
Oh darling promise me we will never part
I know I'm not a king and I'm not very wise
But one thing you must realize
I promise to remember the meaning of romance
If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance
I promise, promise to be true

Easter Theatre
Easter Theatre
Composer(s): Andy Partridge
Performer(s): XTC
Gold sun rolls around
Chocolate nipple brown
Tumble from your arms
Like the ground your breasts swell
Land awake from sleep
Hares will kick and leap
Flowers climb erect
Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth
Stage left
Enter easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk
Stage right
Now the son has died, the father can be born
Stand up
If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke
New life
We'd applaud a new life
Odin mounts the tree
Bleeds for you and me
Splashing on the lamb
Gamboling with spring's step
Buds will laugh and burst
Racing to be first
Turning all the soil
As the promptress fingers through her spinning script
Stage left
Enter easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk
Stage right
Now the son has died, the father can be born
Stand up
If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke
New life
We'd applaud a new life
Easter... in her bonnet
Easter... in her hair
Easter... are the ribbons
She tied everywhere

Trinke, Liebchen, Trinke Schnell
Trinke, Liebchen, Trinke Schnell
Composer(s): Johann Strauss Jr.
Trinke, Liebchen, trinke schnell
Trinken macht die Augen hell
Sind die schoenen Aüglein klar
Siehst du alles licht und wahr
Siehst, wie heisse Lieb' ein Traum
Der uns aeffet sehr
Siehst wie ew'ge Treue Schaum
So was gibt's nicht mehr!
Flieht auch manche Illusion
Die dir einst dein Herz erfreut
Gibt der Wein dir Tröstung schon
Durch Vergessenheit!
Glücklich ist, wer vergisst
Was doch nicht zu ändern ist
Kling, kling, sing, sing, sing
Trink mit mir, sing mit mir
Lalala, lalala...

I Pretend
I Pretend
Composer(s): Barry Mason; Les Reed
Performer(s): Des O'Connor
Sitting here so lonely in the firelight
Listening for a footstep on the stairs
All I have to talk to is the moonlight
Shining on an empty chair
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me
Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see
As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be
One day our love must end
Till then I'll just pretend
Something made her change, what could it be now
Wish I knew exactly what I'd done
If there's someone else I'll set you free now
Guess I've lost and he has won
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me
Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see
As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be
One day our love must end
Till then I'll just pretend
One day our love must end
Till then I'll just pretend

Never saw you look quite so pretty before
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, what's more
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely
Easter morning
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade
I'll be all in clover, and when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade
In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it
I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade
You'll be all in clover, and when they look me over
You'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure
Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade

Trilogía Del Hombre Frustrado
Trilogía Del Hombre Frustrado
Composer(s): Willy Chirino
Performer(s): Willy Chirino
Trepando Paredes
Voy a contarte
Que las mujeres son de Venus
Y los hombres son de Marte
Cuando yo la vi con su escote abierto
No me lo podía creer
Es de esas mujeres que revive a un muerto
Y te puede enloquecer
Fui y le pregunté cómo se llamaba
(Mercedes) me contestó
Invítame a un trago que estoy exaltada
Y este macho ni pensó
Siéntate a mi lado, quédate conmigo
Que tengo mucho calor (me dijo)
Hoy me hice un tatuaje justo en el ombligo
Y ando sin ropa interior (alaba'o)
Me pidió disculpas, dijo que volvía
(No te muevas) me insistió
Me tiró tres besos mientras sonreía
Pero nunca regresó (y me dejó)
(Trepando paredes)
(Así me dejó Mercedes)
----------
El Duelo
¡Yo necesito cariño!
¿Y ahora qué hago con el niño?
La vi sentada en la barra sola
Y a un duelo me desafió
Yo siempre listo a usar mi pistola
A su casa me llevó
Con pasión la ropa se quita
Y cuando yo iba a disparar
Con horror se levanta y grita
¡Corre que te va a matar!
Ponte la camisa y el pantalón
Métete en el closet que allí viene mi marido
----------
Las Hormonas
¡Van dos veces que me escacho!
¿Y qué hago con el muchacho?
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de to'
Son el más salvaje castigo de Dios
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de tó
Yo no hago esas cosas, ése no soy yo
Me cambian la perspectiva
Y la personalidad
No interesa mi firmeza o fuerza de voluntad
Le sacan el jugo a mis devaneos
Saben de la pata de donde cojeo
Me tientan de día, me atacan de noche
Saben cuándo me patina el cloche.
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de to'
Son el más salvaje castigo de Dios
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de tó
Yo no hago esas cosas, ése no soy yo
La lala yala a
La lala yala é

I Pledge My Love
I Pledge My Love
Composer(s): Dino Fekaris; Freddie Perren
Performer(s): Peaches & Herb
Always together, together forever
Always together forever
I will love you till the day I die
I know this now and my love won't run dry
You came along my life has begun
Two hearts are now beating as though they were one
Like the stars that make the night so bright
You shine on me with a love that's so right
A love that is lasting
A love that's so pure
Each time I feel it
It makes me more sure
Like a flower in a fairy tale I blossomed out
From a source that won't fall, love that is lasting
And love that is pure and each time I feel it
It makes me more sure
I know with all my heart we'll never part
For this is the day when our love comes alive
And I mean what I say as I stand here sayin
I pledge my love to you
I pledge my love is true
I pledge my life to you
I do my dear
I do my dear
Like a river finds the deep blue sea
Love took your hand
And led you to me
This is the us that I'll never forget
Both sparkling with love
But happy we met
I know with all my heart we'll never part
For this is the day when our love comes alive
And I mean what I say and I want you to know that
I pledge my love to you
I pledge my love is true
I pledge my life to you
I do my dear
I do my dear
I'm so proud to have you by my side
You be my strength and I'll be your guide
You are the one you're a dream that is real
Heaven has sent you it's love that I feel
I know with all my heart we'll never part
For this is the day when our love comes alive
And I mean what I say if somebody should ask me
I pledge my love to you
I pledge my love is true
I pledge my life to you
I do my dear
I do my dear, I do
I pledge my love to you

Easter Lilies
Easter Lilies
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
Performer(s): Ralph McTell
For a long time she stood in the flower shop window
The daffodils dearest at this time of year
Inside she emptied her purse on the counter
"I want to buy all of the daffodils here"
By her eyes it was plain to see she'd been crying
As she tucked back a strand of loose hair from her face
"I want to spend all of my money on flowers
And I need every daffodil here in this place"
Clutching her harvest, a cornsheaf of flowers
She clambered aboard the late rush hour tram
And by Shweigaardsgate, a small pool of water
Had formed on the floor as if wrung from her hands
It just seemed to add to the lost look about her
As the grey rattling city went grumbling past
She sat like a small child testing for butter
Her face lit in yellow from the flowers tighly clasped
Once in her apartment, she lay down the blooms
And divided them up into glasses and jars
Till daffodils filled every space in the room
Then she lit every candle she found in the house
She bathed and she dressed and corked open champagne
Which made pigeons fly from her windowsills
Then closing the curtains on birds in the rain
She stood among flickering daffodils
Surrounded and centred, she pondered her feelings
Sofa'd and cushioned on feathers she lay
Holding on to the pillows, lest she float to the ceiling
And just like the cigarette smoke, drift away
She wondered just where the wind might deliver
An unwritten letter, a torn envelope
Though candlelight warmed, she suddenly shivered
And the yellow flowers shimmered with brightness and hope

'Leven-Thirty Saturday Night
'Leven-Thirty Saturday Night
Composer(s): Earl Burtnett - Bell Grantham Jess Kirkpatrick
Performer(s): Earl Burtnett
and multiple other artists
All events of consequence in history
Are mysteries as to the time they happened
My event was Heaven sent and you can bet
I can't forget the time
For it was at the dance, I was in a trance
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
And in my arms I held a world of charms
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
At eight my fate had just begun
It grew quite late before love had won
Ooh, can't you see, she accepted me
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
Ooh, baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, when I met my pet, my little sugar pet
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
I felt so weak, I could hardly speak
But finally I got over my fright
And through my fear, she looked so dear
I had a whisper right in her ear
Can't you guess, golly gee, she accepted me
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
Ooh baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, I met a maid through an escapade
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
And pretty soon we were in her room
'Leven-thirty Saturday night
Well, we sat and talked, then suddenly
Yes, her husband, he came unexpectedly
Well, I got there looking debonair
When he got through I looked like a sight
Exactly 'leven-thirty Saturday night

I Play And Sing
I Play And Sing
Composer(s): Russell Brown; Irwin Levine
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
When they ask me for my autograph
I catch you in the corner of my eye
and I know that smile upon your face
means we made it girl
you and I
From the hard life on the south side
to the spotlight here on the stage
Without you
no tellin' where I'd be
singin' me diff'rent song
Breakin' rocks for ten or twenty years
But you wouldn't let me go wrong
Standin' by me
'cause you love me
Now darlin'
this one's for you
Now
watch me play
Hear me sing
la la la la la la la
I'll play and sing for you
la la la la
Hear the applause

Easter Island
Easter Island
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson - Mike Utley
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Guarding the carcass, we stripped and devided
To carve up and covet they wait there alone
Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten
And staring in silence from sockets of stone
Built and obeyed with the best of intentions
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger
No good to nothing not even their own
Holy-O-my God-I
can't see the stars in the sky
for the sun in my eye
She's like a dream that a world quit believin'
Caught in the action back to the sea
How many more might have come from that mountain?
Barely the creatures they struggled to be
Surely the death of so grand an illusion
Left us with legends too great to ignore
Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions
Lost in the wonder they came to explore
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done

Performer(s): Caetano Veloso
and multiple other artists
O melhor o tempo esconde, longe, muito longe
Mas bem dentro aqui, quando o bonde dava a volta ali
No cais de Araújo Pinho, tamarindeirinho
Nunca me esqueci onde o imperador fez xixi
Cana doce Santo Amaro, gosto muito raro
Trago em mim por ti, e uma estrela sempre a luzir
Bonde das Trilhos Urbanos vão passando os anos
E eu não ti perdi, meu trabalho é de traduzir
Rua da Matriz ao Conde no trole ou no bonde
Tudo é bom de vê, São Popó do Maculelê
Mas aquela curva aberta, aquela coisa certa
Não dá prá entender o Apolo e o rio Subaé
Pena de Pavão de Krishna, maravilha, vixe Maria
Mãe de Deus, será que esses olhos são meus?
Cinema transcendental, Trilhos Urbanos
Gal cantando Balancê, como eu sei me lembrar de você

You And Your Beautiful Eyes
You And Your Beautiful Eyes
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Mack David
Performer(s): Dean Martin & Polly Bergen
You and your beautiful eyes
That tell such beautiful lies
Oh when you start that hocus pocus
Boy, things get out of focus
You and the way that you kiss
Well they ought to give you a prize
Baby you could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you
You and your beautiful eyes
You (you're so observant) and your beautiful eyes
That tell (the lies you're selling) such beautiful lies (may start my head a-swelling)
When (tell me some more) you start that hocus pocus (jumping Jimminy Crickets)
(Both) Boy, things get out of focus
(Well talk about you) Well honey please do
(And the way that you kiss) You'll like this
(You ought to stage a big parade and give you a prize)
Your lips lets try them on for size oh baby
You could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you
(Don't stop) Gee but you're beautiful
Oh but they're beautiful
(Both) You and your beautiful eyes
(Both) Yes you and your beautiful eyes

Easter
Easter
Composer(s): Ivan Kral - Patti Smith - Jay Dee Daugherty - Lenny Kaye
First release by: Patti Smith Group - 1978
Easter Sunday, we were walking
Easter Sunday, we were talking
Isabel, my little one, take my hand
Time has come
Isabella, all is glowing
Isabella, all is knowing
And my heart, Isabella
And my head, Isabella
Frederick and Vitalie, savior dwells inside of thee
Oh, the path leads to the sun
Brother, sister, time has come
Isabella, all is glowing
Isabella, all is knowing
Isabella, we are dying
Isabella, we are rising
I am the spring, the holy ground
the endless seed of mystery
the thorn, the veil, the face of grace
the brazen image, the thief of sleep
the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace
I am the sword, the wound, the stain
Scorned transfigured child of Cain
I rend, I end, I return
Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh
I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star
the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ
dying and drying as I rise tonight
Isabella, we are rising
Isabella, we are rising ...

I Owe You One
I Owe You One
Composer(s): Phil Galdston; Jon Lind; Wendy Waldman
Performer(s): Aaron Neville
There's a chill in the evening air
Carries me back to some place where
I thought I'd lost my way forever
Every dream and every plan
Every last chance slipped through my hand
And you smiled at me and it was over
Holding you tonight
Hold on tight
I try to say it right
And I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
You know I owe you one
Walk me down those streets again
Stop me right at the moment when
You stood there talking to a stranger
Tell me how you looked at me
And knew the very best that I could be
How did you see this happy ending
Standing by your side
I'm still surprised
I try to say it right
But I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
You know I owe you one
One for life and one for love
And all you've given me
For the dreams you made me dream again
And all that we can be
Holding you tonight, holding you tonight
Hold on tight
I try to say it right
I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
You know I owe you one

East West
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits
East West
Over the ocean
Perpetual motion
Travelling around
No rest
Singing and playing
Night out and day in
Doing the rounds
What a great life it must seem
Swell joints
Everything classy
Nothing looks passy
Only the best
Lush girls
All of them dying
Crying and sighing
This is success
What a great life this must seem
But when I hear young voices singing out
The bells at home come ringing out
And I feel all alone
And I think of my home
Mum dad
All at the fire
In festive attire
Keeping the day
Aunts kids
All the relation
Congratulation
This is success
What a great life it must seem
But when I hear young voices singing out
The bells of home come ringing out
And I feel all alone
And I long for my home
