Eula


Eula
Composer(s): Paul Barrère - Fred Tackett
Performer(s): Paul Barrère & Fred Tackett



Well now she taught school when she moved west
Nut we all knew what she did best
She like to stay out late at night down at the juke joint
And jump and shimmy 'til she felt allright
Well it started long ago
So long I can't remember
Might have been May, and it might 'a' been December
The boys in their pickups, hangin' out by the gate
'Til her daddy come out yellin'
Hey boys it's gettin' late, now
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school
Well the boy come down, down from Mississippi
The people all said he look just like a hippie
Eula took a look at him the first day 'a' school
With his long hair, sideburns, yeah the boy is cool
Down in the holler', in the dead 'a' night
Doin' whatcha doin', whatcha doin' feelin' right
No one really knew exactly what went down
But two months later little Eula left town
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school
We miss the sweet way, ya used to sashay
Eula pretty girl, why did ya go
Our hearts are breakin', we feel forsakin'
Hey you were the heart 'a' dixie
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school

I'm Down In The Dumps


I'm Down In The Dumps
Composer(s): Wesley Wilson; Lana Wilson
Performer(s): Bessie Smith; George Melly



My man's got somethin'
He gives me such a thrill
Ev'rytime he smiles at me
I can't keep my body still
I done cried so much
Look like I got the mumps
I can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

I had a nightmare last night
When I laid down
When I woke up this mornin'
My sweet man couldn't be found
I'm goin' down to the river
Into it I'm goin' to jump
Can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

Someone knocked on my door
Last night when I was asleep
I thought it was that sweet man o' mine
Makin' his 'fore day creep
Was nothin' but my landlord
A great big chump
Stay way from my door, Mister Landlord
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

When I woke up
My pillow was wet with tears
Just one day from that man o' mine
Seems like a thousand years
But I'm gonna straighten up
Straighter than Andy Gump
Ain't no use of me tellin' that lie
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

I'm twenty-five years old
That ain't no old maid
I got plenty of vim and vitality
I'm sure that I can make the grade
I'm always like a tiger
I'm ready to jump
I need a whole lots o' lovin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

Eu Te Amo (Chico Buarque)


Eu Te Amo Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Antonio Carlos Jobim Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Ah, se já perdemos a noção da hora
Se juntos já jogamos tudo fora
Me conta agora como hei de partir

Se, ao te conhecer, dei pra sonhar, fiz tantos desvarios
Rompi com o mundo, queimei meus navios
Me diz pra onde é que inda posso ir

Se nós, nas travessuras das noites eternas
Já confundimos tanto as nossas pernas
Diz com que pernas eu devo seguir

Se entornaste a nossa sorte pelo chão
Se na bagunça do teu coração
Meu sangue errou de veia e se perdeu

Como, se na desordem do armário embutido
Meu paletó enlaça o teu vestido
E o meu sapato inda pisa no teu

Como, se nos amamos feito dois pagãos
Teus seios inda estão nas minhas mãos
Me explica com que cara eu vou sair

Não, acho que estás te fazendo de tonta
Te dei meus olhos pra tomares conta
Agora conta como hei de partir

I'm Down


I'm Down
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



You tell lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry 'cause you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happen everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down on the ground (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down, down, down ...

Eu Quero Apenas


Eu Quero Apenas
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Eu quero apenas olhar os campos
Eu quero apenas cantar meu canto
Eu só não quero cantar sozinho
Eu quero um coro de passarinhos

Quero levar o meu canto amigo a qualquer amigo que precisar
Eu quero ter um milhão de amigos e bem mais forte poder cantar

Eu quero apenas um vento forte
Levar meu barco no rumo norte
E no caminho o que eu pescar quero dividir quando lá chegar

Eu quero crer na paz do futuro
Eu quero ter um quintal sem muro
Quero meu filho pisando firme
Cantando alto, sorrindo livre

Eu quero amor decidindo a vida
Sentir a força da mão amiga
O meu irmão com sorriso aberto
Se ele chorar quero estar por perto

Venha comigo olhar os campos
Cante comigo também meu canto
Eu só não quero cantar sozinho
Eu quero um coro de passarinhos

I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can


I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can
Composer(s): Bob McDill
Performer(s): Juice Newton



He said, “I’ve seen you before”
As the band broke into Misty
I put one hand on the bar
The whole room by then
Was starting to spin

I said, “you’ve got Hemingway’s eyes”
And that night I called him papa
It seems that there are so many lovers
Who hold you and yet
Whose name you forget

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

Maybe were just shooting stars
Needing something to hold on to
But each thing we touch seems to vanish
Like candles and friends
They burn at both ends

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

He said I’ll see you around
And as I brushed my hair
I winked and said, “you might”
‘Cause I know by now how it’s done
After all the mornings after
And all the nights

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

Eu E Tu


Eu E Tu
Composer(s): Gereba - Tuzé de Abreu Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Faz muito tempo que o nosso amor começou
Daí pra cá cada vez mais ele aumentou
E nunca mais a gente esteve separado
E nunca mais a gente se sentiu só

Nunca mais tive que queixar da solidão
Nunca mais tive medo da escuridão
Porque eu tendo você a meu lado
Me sentia muito forte
Como lá no meu sertão

E foi assim que o sucesso lhe levou
Você saiu dizendo que vinha me buscar
Você esteve na tv e eu não lhe vi
Será, meu Deus, que eu não lhe vejo mais aqui

Ouvindo o rádio de manhãzinha
Pela janela da cozinha da vizinha
A sua voz cantando o beija-flor
Abri a porta da gaiola
E o canário avoou

Oh oh oh
Meu canarinho que beleza que avoou
Oh meu amor

Être


Être
((Italian Version: Essere (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Être, renaître ma naissance
Dans une aube de craie
Sous la lune de sang
Aux termes d'un hiver mourant
Être, émerger du silence
Voir briller au soleil
Les givres de mon cœur
Présage d'un printemps meilleur
Être le fruit et la semence
Dans un sol épuisé
Et fleurir en exil
Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril
Être, apprendre à me connaître
Garder les yeux ouverts
Et n'être rien qu'un être
De chair

Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Et au-delà peut-être
Être l'âme séparée du corps
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Même au-delà encore

Être la voix de mes naufrages
Le verbe retrouvé
Lavé de tout défaut
Êpousant le chemin des mots
Être, échapper au chantage
De tous les lieux communs
Êteindre mes volcans
Dompter et chevaucher mon temps
Être le geste qui engage
L'avenir repensé
Artisan du retour
Au simple rituel d'amour
Être, mourir pour mieux renaître
Des mensonges d'antan
Et n'être rien qu'un être
Vivant

Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Et au-delà peut-être
Être l'âme séparée du corps
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Même au-delà encore

Composer(s): Alexander Hill; Fats Waller
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
and multiple other artists



I'm walkin' on air
For I've left all my blue days behind
I'm flyin' - how'd you guess?
And there's love, really love on my mind

I'm the world's most happy creature, tell me what can worry be?
I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Mr. Cupid was our teacher, that's the reason we agree
Yes, I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Parson get your book out, ready in your hand
Keep a steady lookout, and you can understand

It's an A - one combination, we are perfect, me and she
Yes, I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Étoiles, Garde-À-Vous
Composer(s): Guy Béart
Performer(s): Guy Béart



Vers Cassiopée
Vers Aldebaran
Nous avons bu mille lampées
Les soldats errants
Les hommes en rang
Dans l'espace vont porter l'épée

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Le monde est en flammes
Le fer est partout
Le monde est en flammes
Le fer est partout

Mille années-lumière
Entre deux combats
Et cent millions de mercenaires
Qui chantent tout haut
Qui meurent tout bas
Pieds au ciel et face contre terre

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Notre Dame vierge
Sauvegardez-nous
Notre Dame vierge
Sauvegardez-nous
Vers Cassiopée
Vers Aldebaran
Nous avons bu mille lampées
Les soldats errants
Les hommes en rang
Dans l'espace vont porter l'épée

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Le monde est en flammes
Le fer est partout
Le monde est en flammes
Le fer est partout

Mille années-lumière
Entre deux combats
Et cent millions de mercenaires
Qui chantent tout haut
Qui meurent tout bas
Pieds au ciel et face contre terre

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Notre Dame vierge
Sauvegardez-nous
Notre Dame vierge
Sauvegardez-nous

Dans l'espace en faute
C'est le grand tocsin
Une étoile à travers les côtes
Une flèche au sein
Dort le fantassin
Qui a vaincu les fiers cosmonautes

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Reprenons nos flèches
Les fusées au clou
Reprenons nos flèches
Les fusées au clou

Diamants, étoffes, rivières d'or
C'est la voie lactée qui nous offre
L'éclatant trésor
Des Imperators
Les têtes coupées sont dans les coffres

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Découpons les astres
Pillons ces cailloux
Découpons les astres
Pillons ces cailloux

Filles de Méandre
Goules d'Orion
Les jambes nues à nous attendre
Quand nous nous aimions
Vêtus de rayons
Nos baisers déjà étaient de cendre

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Nous avons chanté
Des vers à vos genoux
Nous avons chanté
Des vers à vos genoux

Étoiles filantes
Vous êtes l'éclair
De l'humanité violante
Qui frappe le Fer
Demain comme hier
Des fils d'Altaïr aux Atalantes

Étoiles garde-à-vous
L'homme des planètes
Pour l'homme est un loup
L'homme des planètes
Pour l'homme est un loup

Dans la nuit mortelle
Qui protégera
Le vol rouge des hirondelles
Les hommes sans bras
Rejoindront les rats
Car Jacob a tiré son échelle

Étoiles garde-à-vous
Quand retournerai-je
À Canaan chez nous
Quand retournerai-je
À Canaan chez nous

Ethel Levey's Virginia Song


Ethel Levey's Virginia Song
(aka "Virginia" and "I Was Born In Virginia") Composer(s): George M. Cohan Performer(s): Ethel Levey



I was born in a Southern state
Where all nature's sublime
In a city where the gals are pretty
And the sun shines nearly all the time
Hospitality there you'll find
Bright smiles ev'rywhere
When I look 'roun' and see some other town
I'm mighty glad I come from there

I was born in Virginia
That's the state that will win yer
If you've got a soul in yer
Ain't no Southern frown
In the city of Norfolk
Home of beauties and war talk
Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
That doggarn town

Something nice about Southerners
You don't find ev'rywhere
Never con yer, but they smile upon yer
And they make you happy while you're there
Old Kentucky and Tennessee
They can certainly go some
Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied
To settle in the state I'm from

I was born in Virginia
That's the state that will win yer
If you've got a soul in yer
Ain't no Southern frown
In the city of Norfolk
Home of beauties and war talk
Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
That doggarn town

I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)
Composer(s): Doc Daugherty; Al J. Neiberg; Ellis Reynolds
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
and multiple other artists



I’m Confessin’ that I love you
Tell me, do you love me too?
I’m Confessin’ that I need you
Honest I do, need you every moment
In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they’re true
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?
I’m afraid some day you’ll leave me
Saying “can’t we still be friends”
If you go, you know you’ll grieve me
All in life on you depends
Am I guessin’ that you love me
Dreaming dreams of you in vain
I’m Confessin’ that I love you, over again

Eternamente
Composer(s): Alberto Domínguez Performer(s): Javier Solís



Pensar que todo tengo y nada puedo yo tener
la vida me da flores, el sol me da su luz
Pensar que todo tengo y nada puedo yo tener
porque lo tengo todo, pero me faltas tú

Dime vida si tú sufres por mi amor
si una duda llega a tu alma atormentar
comprende que como a nadie yo te quiero
y tú vivirás en mi corazón una eternidad

Tú bien sabes que los años pasarán
pero nunca que yo te olvide lograrás
pues tuyo será mi amor eternamente
y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar
y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar

Pues tuyo será mi amor eternamente
y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar
y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar

I'm Coming Home Again


I'm Coming Home Again
Composer(s): Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists



I'm not as crazy as I used to be
Some of my devils upped and left me free
To find a quiet space
I'm not as out of place

I'm not as lonely as I was before
I don't go in 'less there's an open door to leave by
I'm starting to believe my own existence has a right to be

And I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay

The poets cried for dreams they never saw
The only certainty is nothin's sure
And most things stay the same
Or go back where they came

And though my answers still are undefined
By takin' chances I can start to find some reasons
Somethin' to believe in
I can make it through
I can make it through

And I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay

Oh, and I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
