Eclipse Oculto


Eclipse Oculto
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Nosso amor não deu certo, gargalhadas e lágrimas De perto fomos quase nada Tipo de amor que não pode dar certo na luz da manhã E desperdiçamos os blues do Djavan Demasiadas palavras, fraco impulso de vida Travada a mente na ideologia E o corpo não agia como se o coração tivesse antes que optar Entre o inseto e o inseticida Não me queixo, eu não soube te amar Mas não deixo de querer conquistar Uma coisa qualquer em você, o que será? Como nunca se mostra o outro lado da lua Eu desejo viajar do outro lado da sua Meu coração galinha de leão não quer mais amarrar frustração Ó eclipse oculto na luz do verão Mas bem que nós fomos muito felizes só durante o prelúdio Gargalhadas e lágrimas até irmos pro estúdio Mas na hora da cama nada pintou direito É, minha cara, falar, não sou proveito sou pura fama Nada tem que dar certo, nosso amor é bonito Só não disse ao que veio, atrasado e aflito E paramos no meio sem saber os desejos aonde é que iam dar E aquele projeto ainda estará no ar? Não quero que você fique fera comigo Quero ser seu amor, quero ser seu amigo Quero que tudo saia como som de Tim Maia, sem grilos de mim Sem desespero, sem tédio, sem fim

Trouble Is My Middle Name


Trouble Is My Middle Name
Composer(s): John Gluck Jr. - Neval Nader
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Brook Brothers; The Four Pennies



Hello, little girl, goodbye, little girl
I'm not your kind of guy, little girl
I'll only make you cry, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Each kiss, little girl, is sweet, little girl
They sweep me off my feet, little girl
But no more must our lips meet, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I'm just a born wanderer driftin' by one day
Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in
So I'll move on my way

In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl
I've been really kind, little girl
Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Oh, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name...
Yes, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I Second That Emotion


I Second That Emotion
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Alfred W. Cleveland
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion ...

Eclipse De Mar


Eclipse De Mar
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Joaquín Sabina
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Guadalupe Pineda; Joaquín Sabina



Hoy dice el periodico
que ha muerto una mujer que conocí
que ha perdido en su campo el Atletic
y que ha amanecido nevando en París
que han pillado un alijo de coca
que a pisis y acuario
les toca el vinagre y la miel
que apoyo el parlamento europeo
una ley a favor de abolir el deseo
que fallo la vacuna anti sida
que un golpe de estado ha fallado en la luna
y movidas asi
Pero nada decia el diario de hoy
de esa sucia pasion, de este lunes marrón
del obseno sabor a cubata de ron de tu piel
del olor a colonia barata del amanecer
de este cuarto sin medias ni besos
de este frio de agosto en los huesos
como un bisturí

Hoy amor como siempre
en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi
hoy amor igual que ayer como siempre
en el diario no hablaban de ti
en el diario no hablaban de ti
en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi

Hoy dijo la radio
que han hallado muerto al niño que yo fuí
que han pagado un pasote de pelas
por una acuarela falsa de Dalí
que han caido la bolsa en el cielo
que siguen las putas en huelga de celo en Moscú
que subio la marea que fusilan mañana a Jesus de Judea
que crecio el ahujero de ozono
que el padre de hoy es el padre del mono
del año 2000

Hoy amor como siempre...

Trouble Is A Man


Trouble Is A Man
Composer(s): Alec Wilder First recording/First release: Peggy Lee - 1946/Sarah Vaughan With Ted Dale and Orch. - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists



A woman gets all the blame
For everything that happens under the sun
But when it comes to being bad
A woman's not the only one

Trouble is a man
A man who loves me no more, no more
Trouble is a man
A man I'll always adore

Nothing good to say about him
Still I hate a day without him
Why should he have to be
The one, my only

Trouble is a man
A man who's handsome and tall, so tall
Trouble is a man
Who's for himself and that's all

After all we've done, he didn't mean it
Now I understand, I should have seen it
Trouble is a man
Trouble is a man
Trouble, trouble

I Say A Little Prayer For You


I Say A Little Prayer For You
English Version: I Say A Little Prayer
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Raphael



Mi amor, cada noche
Repito otra vez tu nombre
I say a little prayer for you
Te busco en mis sueños
Me muero por ser tu dueño
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
Si tú comprendieras
Que paso la noche entera
I say a little prayer for you
Yo nunca te olvido
Están mis cinco sentidos
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
Mi amor no te miento
Ya nadie me importa más que tú
Abrázame
Nadie más que tú
Quiero que digas
Cuanto me amas tú
Cuanto me quieres

Echoes Of Love


Echoes Of Love
Composer(s): Patrick simmons - Willie Mitchell - Earl Randle First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1977



I hear your voice everywhere
It's echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Darlin', since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
Got to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn't do
What I was supposed to
I've done things
I'd like to undo
Now darlin' it's you
I'd like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love

Trouble In Shangri-La


Trouble In Shangri-La
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks



I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby

And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in

I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back... to the sea

With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, I generally take it
Well I make accommodations for you
And consider this
You used to be my love
I make excuses for you

I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back... to the sea

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color

But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are heartbroken
You say, dear God, make it stop!

Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
Pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accommodations for you

I guess we don't believe
That things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...

I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back... to the sea

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Because you are so heartbroken
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Before the dawn of separation
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Show me the way back

I Say A Little Prayer


I Say A Little Prayer
Spanish Version: I Say A Little Prayer For You
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
First release by: Dionne Warwick - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one
But you ....

Echo Park


Echo Park
Composer(s): Buzz Clifford Performer(s): Keith Barbour



It's the morning soon he'll rise Find the glasses for his eyes Aren't what they used to be Picks up the clothes he's worn so long On the bureau sits the picture of a lady And the mural of a man who's been gone for many years The old man walks in Echo Park From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark For the ducks some bread he brings Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring Listening to the children play Reminds him of other days Many years ago Thoughts of a child that he helped grow And the memory of a letter saying dear sir We regret to inform you, your son will not be coming home The old man walks in Echo Park From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark For the ducks some bread he brings Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring Old man tell me are there fears Do you measure life in years Or is one day all you'll ever know I've got to know The old man walks in Echo Park From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark For the ducks some bread he brings Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring Have I been a good man Have I tried to see the light Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight Have I been a good man

Kay


Kay
Composer(s): Hank Mills
Performer(s): John Wesley Ryles



Kay, with all your singin' talent
Back in Houston, Nashville's all you talked about
I sold everything I owned to bring you here
Now you'll be famous, there's no doubt

Last week you knocked 'em out in New York
Tonight Chicago's goin' wild
Kay, your new record on the jukebox don't sound bad
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Caution lights blink out their warning
Some old faithful Big Ben clock chimes 3 a.m.
Starvin' hound dogs search the trash cans
My gas tank could stand a dollar's worth again

All those chuck holes here on main street
Jar my rib cage, I could cuss
Kay, the crowd of night life people look so sad
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Two young soldiers from Fort Campbell
Told me how they hate that war in Vietnam
Sirens echo through an alley
And some woman said some fellah stabbed a man

I rushed Miss Teenage to the doctor
She begged to give the child my name
I've lost count of cups of coffee that I've had
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Three rose petals on my front seat
Fallen from the bouquet Jimmy took to June
Jim kept mumblin' through his teardrops
God, she'll leave this world with flowers in her room

Kay, I showed some drunk your picture
And he made some smart remark
So I hit him in the mouth, boy was I mad
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Guitars, organs, horns, violins
And pianos, how they play
Grinding out the latest sounds
From Music City, USA

Kay, although I know I've lost you
To the swingin' music world
I kiss pictures of those happy times we had
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at Music City from my cab

Echo Beach


Echo Beach
((French Version: Egoïste (La Grande Sophie) - 2006))
Composer(s): Mark Gane
First release by: Martha and the Muffins - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine 'til five I have to spend my time at work
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
Waves make the only sound
There's not a soul around
From nine 'til five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Echo Beach
Far away in time...

I Saw The Light


I Saw The Light
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
First release by: Todd Rundgren - 1972



It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
'Til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run
though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
But my feelings for you
were just something I never knew
'Til I saw the light in your eyes

But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes

Echame A Mí La Culpaa


Echame A Mí La Culpa
Composer(s): J. Ángel Espinoza
Performer(s): Javier Solís



No sufro, mas lloro

Sabes mejor que nadie
que me fallaste
que lo que prometiste
se te olvidó

Sabes a ciencia cierta
que me engañaste
aunque nadie te amara
igual que yo

Lleno estoy de razones
pa' despreciarte
y sin embargo
quiero que seas feliz

Que allá en el otro mundo
en vez de infierno
encuentres gloria
y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre a mí

Dile al que te pregunte
que no te quise
dile que te engañaba
que fui lo peor

Echame a mí la culpa
de lo que pasa
cúbrete tú la espalda
con mi dolor

Que allá en el otro mundo
en vez de infierno
encuentres gloria
y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre a mí

Echame a mí la culpa
de lo que pasa

I Saw Stars


I Saw Stars
Composer(s): Maurice Sigler; Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman
Performer(s): Freddy Martin



Something strange happened to me
Lost my heart so suddenly
Suddenly I found myself in a dream
One sweet kiss did it to me
I got dizzy instantly
But something stranger happened, strange as it seems

I saw stars
I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet
The moment I fell for you
I saw stars
I heard an angel say, "Wake up, wake up
Your wonderful dream come true"
A new born feeling had me reeling
I said to myself, "Where am I?"
It's all so hazy, may sound crazy
There wasn't a star in the sky
Still, I saw stars
I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet

Never knew what love could do
Never knew till I met you
Now I thank my stars that you came along
Your sweet smile opened my eyes
Showed the way to paradise
And now my heart is lighter, filled with a song

I saw stars
I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet
The moment I fell for you
I saw stars
I heard an angel say, "Wake up, wake up
Your wonderful dream come true"
A new born feeling had me reeling
I said to myself, "Where am I?"
It's all so hazy, may sound crazy
There wasn't a star in the sky
Still, I saw stars
I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet

Echale Guindas Al Pavo


Echale Guindas Al Pavo
Composer(s): R. Perelló - S. Cantabrana
Performer(s): Raphael



Huyendo de los civiles
Un gitano del perchel
Sin calculo y sin combina
¡Que donde vino a caer!
En un corral de gallinas
¿Y que es lo que alli encontro?
Pues una pavita fina
Que a un pavo le hacia el amor
Salto la tapia el gitano
Con muchisimo talento
Y cuando se vino a dar cuenta
Con un saco estaba dentro
A los dos los cogio
Con los dos se najo
Y el gitano a su gitana
De esta manera le hablo

Echale guindas al pavo
Echale guindas al pavo
Que yo le echare a la pava
Azucar, canela y clavo
Que yo le echare a la pava
Azucar, canela y clavo

Estaba ya el pavo asao
La pava en el asador
Y llamaron a la puerta
Vera usted lo que paso
Entro un civil con bigote
¡Ozu, que miedo, chavo!
Se echo el fusil a la cara
Y de esta manera hablo
A ver donde esta ese pavo
A ver donde esta esa pava
Porque tiene mucha guasa
Que yo no pruebe ni un ala

Con los dos se sento
Con los dos trajelo
Y el gitano a la gitana
De esta manera le hablo

Echale guindas al pavo
Echale guindas al pavo
Que yo le echare a la pava
Azucar, canela y clavo
Que yo le echare a la pava
1zucar, canela y clavo

Trouble In Paradise (The Crests)


Trouble In Paradise
Composer(s): Allyson R. Khent - Tommy Smith
Performer(s): The Crests



Calling all angels, calling all angels, calling all angels oo---ou
Calling all angels, calling all angels, calling all angels oo---ou

There's trouble in paradise
My turtle doves changing wings
There's trouble in paradise
The birds no longer sing
Some devil told my angel alot of lies
& now my tears are falling
Like raindrops from the sky

There's trouble in paradise
The stars no longer shine
There's trouble in paradise
'Cause she's no longer mine
That devil told my angel I'd been untrue
Won't somebody help me please
Tell me me what to do

Mr. Moon, Mr. Sun
Tell her she's the only one
Guide her with your lovely light
Back into my arms tonight

There's trouble in paradise
& heaven's not the same
The angels sit & cry
They say it's such a shame
They'd like our love to be just like before
Then the trouble in paradise will be no more

Mr. Moon, Mr. Sun
Tell her she's the only one
Guide her with your lovely light
Back into my arms tonight

Calling all angels, calling all angels
Calling all angels, calling all angels

She was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me
and I could see
That before too long I fell in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there

Well my heart went boom
As I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I feel in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there

Eccomi


Eccomi
((Spanish Version: Siempre Fuiste Mío (Mónica Naranjo) - 2000)) Composer(s): Dario Baldan Bembo - Paolo Limiti - Mina First release by: Mina - 1972



Eccomi
Mi ricordo che la prima volta mi son detta
ora tocca a te
e ridevo e piangevo e dicevo
amore, amore, amore
Ma quale amore, cosa amore, dove amore
se l'amore non conosce me
e piano piano ho imparato a rinunciare
io
non ero ancora preparata, io
ma
con tutta la mia buona fede io
ho provato e dopo riprovato
e ancora riprovato e poi
ho creduto di trovare chi
invece mi ha sconfitto più che mai
eccomi
col niente grande che io ho
inevitabilmente io
ricominciare ancora
si eccomi
o non sarei più stata io
vuoi darmi un'altra storia Dio
vuoi darmela
o tocca sempre solo a me
Sempre solo a me gli stessi sbagli
e sono loro che mi cercano
mi son fatta grande, mi son fatta molto piccola
son stata un verso e poi
una parola inutile
sono stata fantasia
ma tutto questo è da buttare via
no, io non posso, non voglio, non devo
non credo, io no
Ma quante volte ancora
una deve pagare perché
tutto è finito
mi resta la forza di dire che tutto davvero è finito
Dio, o mio Dio
con niente che mi resta, io
potrò ricominciare, io

Trouble In Paradise


Trouble In Paradise
Composer(s): W. Franke Harding - Leo Robin



Most any place can seem to be a paradise
While you embrace just the one that you adore
There needn't be an apple tree with magic powers
You need no garden filled with flowers
To taste the thrill of sweet, greed hours

Gentle perfume and cushions that are silk and soft
Two in the gloom, that is silent but for sighs
That's paradise, while arms entwine and lips are kissing
But if there's something missing, that signifies
Trouble in paradise
