It Makes No Difference


It Makes No Difference
Composer(s): Bert Kaempfert; Herbert Rehbein; Milt Gabler
Performer(s): Bert Kaempfert
and multiple other artists



It makes no difference if you care for me
I’ll find somebody else who cares
There’s plenty fish left in the deep blue sea
So don’t put on such fancy airs

You used to be my clinging vine
You for me and me for you
But now I’m not your valentine
So good-bye and so long!
Take a walk now and through

It makes no difference if you care for me
I’ll find somebody else who cares
You used to be my clinging vine
You for me and me for you
But now I’m not your valentine
So good-bye and so long!
Take a walk now and through

It makes no difference if you care for me
I’ll find somebody else who cares

O Divã

O Divã
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Relembro a casa com varanda
Muitas flores na janela
Minha mãe lá dentro dela
Me dizia num sorriso
Mas na lágrima um aviso
Pra que eu tivesse cuidado
Na partida pro futuro
Eu ainda era puro
Mas num beijo disse adeus
Minha casa era modesta
Mas eu estava seguro
Não tinha medo de nada
Não tinha medo de escuro
Não temia trovoada
Meus irmãos à minha volta
E o meu pai sempre de volta
Trazia o suor no rosto
Nenhum dinheiro no bolso
Mas trazia esperanças

Essas recordações me matam (3x)
Por isso eu venho aqui

Relembro bem a festa, o apito
E na multidão o grito
O sangue no ninho branco
A paz de quem carregava
Em seus braços quem chorava
E no céu ainda olhava
E encontrava esperança
De um dia tão distante
Pelo menos por instantes
Encontrar a paz sonhada

Eu venho aqui me deito e falo
Pra você que só escuta
Não entende a minha luta
Afinal, de que me queixo
São problemas superados
Mas o meu passado vive
Em tudo que eu faço agora
Ele está no meu presente
Mas eu apenas desabafo
Confusões da minha mente

It Looks Like Rain In Cherry Blossom Lane


It Looks Like Rain In Cherry Blossom Lane
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Joe Burke
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
and multiple other artists



Buds wil soon be flowers
Birds will sing of spring
Now's the time when love
Should bloom for me...

It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane
The sunshine of your smile's no longer there
It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane
Your golden voice no longer fills the air

The rippling notes have left the old mill stream
There's nothing left for me but just a dream
There'd be no rain in Cherry Blossom Lane
If you were there to tell me that you care

O Dio Mio

O Dio Mio
Performer(s): Joan Regan



O dio mio, I love him so
O dio mio, please let him know
How much I need him
How much I want him
How much I long for his love

O dio mio, what can I do?
You make him tell me
He loves me too
If he would love me
Oh what a thrill that would be
If he loved me

Each time I hear the church bells chime
I dream of him and he is mine

O dio mio, I love him so
O dio mio, please let him know
How much I need him
How much I long for his love

How much I need him
How much I long for his love
Make him my love
Make him my love
O dio mio

O Death

O Death
Traditional
Performer(s): Ralph Stanley



O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached

Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how you're treatin' me
You've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Won't you spare me over till another year
Won't you spare me over till another year
Won't you spare me over till another year

Runaround


Runaround
Composer(s): Chuck Berry; Cirino Colacrai
Performer(s): The Fleetwoods



I'll never be the one to part
Youve found a place here in my heart
Go have your fun, runaround

I'll never leave you, I'm forever bound
The streets are noisy, I'm all alone
I sit and wait, dear, for you to phone
Go have your fun
Go have your fun runaround

I've waited too long it seems, you're running out of my Dreams
(and waited and waited and waited) x12
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe a new love youve found
Ooh
Settle down, runaround

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Go have your fun
I'll have my fun
Go have your fun runaround

I've waited too long it seems, you're running out of my Dreams
(and waited and waited and waited) x12
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe a new love youve found
Ooh
Settle down, runaround

I'll never be the one to part
Youve found a place here in my heart
Go have your fun
Go have your fun runaround

O Corsário Do Rei


O Corsário Do Rei
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



É bonito ver passar o tempo
Ele já foi meu
Ele já foi meu
Já usou meu corpo
Ele abusou de mim
Será que me esqueceu
Será que me esqueceu

Tive grandes planos
Sonhos geniais
Eu já tive vinte anos
Pois agora eu tenho mais
Tenho sete mares
Mortes, mais de cem
Já rendi uma cidade
Agora eu quero bem
Mil e um amores
Cheiro de mulher
Mamas de todas as cores
Mamarei enquanto houver
Garrafões de vinho
Caldeirões de rum
Se ficarem no caminho
Não vai sobrar nenhum

Nem um louco pra cantar as minhas glórias
Nem um fraco, a minha perdição
Nem as águas
As memórias
Da trajetória do meu galeão
Galeões de Espanha
Ide ao vosso rei
Ele sabe a minha sanha
Mencionai-lhe que eu voltei
Preparar a tropa
Almirante inglês
Já montei vossa chalupa
Desmonto dessa vez
Quero bandalheira
Esfregar os pés
Já sujei vossa bandeira
Mijarei vosso convés
Destroçar os panos
Quero bacanais
Eu já tive vinte anos
Agora eu quero mais

It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'


It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'
Composer(s): Johnny Tillotson
First release by: Johnny Tillotson - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists


I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
Since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

They say a man ain't s'posed to cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
The pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

O Ciúme

O Ciúme
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Dorme o sol à flor do Chico meio-dia
Tudo esbarra embriagado de seu lume
Dorme ponte, Pernambuco, o rio, Bahia
Só vigia um ponto negro: o meu ciúme
O ciúme lançou sua flecha preta
E se viu ferido justo na garganta
Quem nem alegre, nem triste nem poeta
Entre Petrolina e Juazeiro canta
Velho Chico vens de Minas
De onde o oculto do mistério se escondeu
Sei que o levas todo em ti
Não me ensinas
E eu sou só eu só eu
Juazeiro, nem te lembras dessa tarde
Petrolina, nem te chegaste a perceber
Mas, na voz que canta tudo ainda arde
Tu é perda, tudo quer buscar, cadê
Tanta gente canta, tanta gente cala
Tantas almas esticadas no curtume
Sobre toda estrada, sobre toda sala
Paira, monstruosa, a sombra do ciúme

O Circo Místico

O Circo Místico
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Não
Não sei se é um truque banal
Se um invisível cordão
Sustenta a vida real

Cordas de uma orquestra
Sombras de um artista
Palcos de um planeta
E as dançarinas no grande final

Chove tanta flor
Que, sem refletir
Um ardoroso expectador
Vira colibri

Qual
Não sei se é nova ilusão
Se após o salto mortal
Existe outra encarnação

Membro de um elenco
Malas de um destino
Partes de uma orquestra
Duas meninas no imenso vagão

Negro refletor
Flores de organdi
E o grito do homem voador
Ao cair em si

Não sei se é vida real
Um invisível cordão
Após o salto mortal

It Keeps Rainin'


It Keeps Rainin'
Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Fats Domino; Robert Guidry
Performer(s): Fats Domino; Keith Powell; Jerry Williams



It keeps raining and raining
Tears from my eyes
Since you gone
All I do is cry
Won't somebody help
Somebody help me
Can't you see
That my baby done left me
She left me reeling and rocking
Walking the floor
She left a note last night
She won't be back no more.

It keeps raining and raining

Can't you see

She left a note last night
She won't be back no more

O Cio Da Terra

O Cio Da Terra
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Debulhar o trigo
Recolher cada bago do trigo
Forjar no tirgo o milagre do pão
E se fartar de pão

Decepar a cana
Recolher a garapa da cana
Roubar da cana a doçura do mel
Se lambuzar de mel

Afagar a terra
Conhecer os desejos da terra
Cio da terra, a propícia estação
E fecundar o chão

Bing! Bang! Bong!
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Sophia Loren



Prego, prego, anywhere you may go
make each day be a day full of fun
if there's a game or a girl to be one
do it with a bing, bang, bong (a bing bang bong) a bing, bang, bong

Presto, presto, do your very besto
don't hang back like a shy little kid
You'll be surprised if you did what you did
If you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong (a bing bang bong) a bing, bang, bong

Be like Christopher Colombo, take a chance, take a chance
Don't be a doppy or a gombo, going round, in a trance

One step, two step, step into a new step
Live your life with a zip and a zing
You'll have the world on the end of a string
if you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong ( a bing, bang, bong) a bing, bang, bong

Prego, prego, anywhere you may go
make each day be a day full of fun

Don't be a doppy or a gombo, going round, in a trance

Live your life with a zip and a zing
You'll have the world on the end of a string
if you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong, a bing, bang, bong

A Bing, Bang, Bong!

O Casamento Dos Pequeno Burgueses

O Casamento Dos Pequeno Burgueses
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ele faz o noivo correto
E ela faz que quase desmaia
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que a casa caia
Até que a casa caia

Ele é o empregado discreto
Ela engoma o seu colarinho
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até explodir o ninho
Até explodir o ninho

Ele faz o macho irrequito
E ela faz crianças de monte
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até secar a fonte
Até secar a fonte

Ele é o funcionário completo
E ela aprende a fazer suspiros
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até trocarem tiros
Até trocarem tiros

Ele tem um caso secreto
Ela diz que não sai dos trilhos
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até casarem os filhos
Até casarem os filhos

Ele fala de cianureto
E ela sonha com formicida
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que alguém decida
Até que alguém decida

Ele tem um velho projeto
Ela tem um monte de estrias
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até o fim dos dias
Até o fim dos dias

Ele às vezes cede um afeto
Ela só se despe no escuro
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até um breve futuro
Até um breve futuro

Ela esquenta a papa do neto
E ele quase que fez fortuna
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que a morte os una
Até que a morte os una

O Carole


O Carole ((Adapted from: Carol (Chuck Berry) - 1958)) Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Manou Roblin Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1964 Versions In Other Languages: 1977 - Oh Dearne (Normaal) 1977 - Karola Petersen (Torfrock)


O Carole
Ne me regarde pas comme ça
Ce soir si je suis là
C'est pour te dire
Qu'il ne viendra pas
Ça ne vaut pas la peine de pleurer pour ça
Tu le remplaceras
D'ici huit jours, tu l'oublieras
Maintenant dans tes yeux
Toute la joie s'est envolée
Sèche tes larmes, oublie tout ça
Avec moi, viens danser
Et quand il saura que tu t'es consolée dans mes bras
Ce jour-là, peut-être, il reviendra vers toi
O Carole
Ne me regarde pas comme ça
Ce soir si je suis là
C'est parc'que tu es tout pour moi
O Carole
Tu danses dans mes bras mais tu es loin de moi
Ouais, tu penses à celui qui ne viendra pas
Mais je crois bien que c'est lui que j'aperçois là-bas
Il vient tout droit vers toi, tu lui souris déjà
Il est trop tard pour moi, c'est bien fini
Et oui, déjà, on dirait qu'il a changé d'avis
O Carole
Ne me regarde comme ça
Il y a trop de joie dans tes yeux
C'est bien fini pour moi
O Carole
Ne me regarde comme ça
Il y a trop de joie dans tes yeux
C'est bien fini pour moi

O' Captain, My Captain

O' Captain, My Captain
From "American Song"
Composer(s): John Leavitt; Walt Whitman
Performer(s): David Broza



O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done
The ship has weathered every rack
the prize we sought is won

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red
Where on the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells
Rise up -- for you the flag is flung -- for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths -- for you the shores accrowding
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread
Walk the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead

It Isn't Fair


It Isn't Fair
Composer(s): Richard Himber; Sylvester Sprigato; Frank Warshauer
Performer(s): Rita Smith
and multiple other artists



It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day

It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, Dear

Why is it you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today

My Darling, it isn't fair
