Se C'è L'amore
Se C'è L'amore
((Adapted from: Let The Heartaches Begin (by Long John Baldry) - 1967))
((Danish Version: Du Var En Drøm (by Johnny Reimar) - 1968))
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay - John Macleod - Franco Migliacci
Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1968
Anche il tempo inesorabile
rallenta il battito
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
e il vento di una sera tiepida
diventa gelido
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
Non credo a quelli che si lasciano
e che non piangono
vuol dire che non si amavano
se senza te non era vivere
potrei morire se
sapessi che c'è un'altra accanto a te
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor

Once In The Highlands
Once In The Highlands
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Dick Beavers
Chorus:
Once in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland
Deep in the night on a murky brae
There in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland
Two weary hunters lost their way
And this is what happened
The strange thing that happened
Chorus:
To two weary hunters who lost their way
Chorus:
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
Blooming under sable skies
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
There my heart forever lies
Let the world grow cold around us
Let the heavens cry above!
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
In thy valley, there'll be love!

Brief Candles
Brief Candles
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies; The Posies
There she sits her hands are held
Tight around her glass
She only needs to be alone
She knows this mood will pass
To realize that she was strong
And he too weak to stay
And to realize that she is better off this way
Brief candles in her mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where she can see
What makes it all worthwhile
Her sadness makes her smile...
His alone girl fades away
Left out on a limb
Finds he needs her more because
She's no more need for him
He understood so very well
The things she had to say
Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...
In the corner see his face
The man just sips his drink
Not one feeling does he show
Far too numb to think
He does not say a single word
No word of love to say
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...

Bridget O'Malley
Bridget O'Malley
(Traditional)
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go
The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree
Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she
I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm seas
And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me
My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now
My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone
All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now
For another has taken My love for his own
The day is approaching when we were to be married
And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve
Oh, meet me, My Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley
And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you have my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go

Bridget Flynn
Bridget Flynn
Composer(s): Will Millar
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass
I've a plant garden running by my door
I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass
Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so
But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free
I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone
Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land
And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind
And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so
It would mollify them so to agree
Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win
But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold
And that's a decent dowry, don't you see
And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home
If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know
But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee
And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush
If she'd come and have an eye for me

Let The Feeling Flow
Let The Feeling Flow
Composer(s): Peabo Bryson
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson; Kelli Sae; Matt Jordan
Falling in love, it was easy at the start
I thought I had it in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere we lost a part
It was more than we could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
What was wrong with me
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go, not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on to the good inside you
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Falling in love, was so easy at the start
I thought I had it here in my hands, here in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere I lost a part
More than I could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
Something's wrong with me (Here with me)
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go (Let the feeling flow), not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you (Every lover)
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on (Hold on) to the feeling inside you (Feeling inside you)
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Yeah, yeah
Let the feeling flow (Hold on)
Let it flow (Whoa...oh...oh...)
Let it flow (Yeah)
You've got, got to let (Feeling inside you)
Let it flow

Trazendo a dor no ar

Seremos dois, oh, a ver o seu sol brilhar
Aonde quer que vá

They can dance away their sorrows tonight
Lost - broken and scarred
Prisoner waits outside with his lone heart beating

Let the children - let the children speak
Aims - dangerous games
Their mother says one false move and we all get hurt
I feel this sense of power I feel it every hour tonight
Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy cos
One more kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Power to the powerless strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children

And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water

When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness falls
And pain is all around

Let The Boy Rock And Roll
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966
I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night
And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll
The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today
You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away
He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that
play
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song
In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town
If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But please don't call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no

And remember buddy there's still lots of room for you
