Playback


Playback
First performance by: Carlos Paiao - 1981



Podes não saber cantar
Nem sequer assobiar
Com certeza que não vais desafinar
Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!

Só precisas de acertar
Não tem nada que enganar
E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar
Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!

Põe o microfone à frente
Muito disfarçadamente
Vai sorrindo, que é p'ra gente
Lá presente
Não notar!...

Em play-back tu és alguém
Mesmo afónico cantas bem...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar bem
Em play-back, respirar p'ra quê?
Quem não sabe também não vê...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Dá p'ra toda uma soirée!..

Abre a boca, fecha a boca
Não te enganes, não te esganes
Vais Ter uma apoteose
Põe-te em pose
P´ra agradar!...
Em play-back é que tu és bom
A cantar sem fugir do tom...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar bem
Com play-back até pedem bis
Mas decerto, dirás feliz...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Agradeces e sorris

Looking Out for No. 1


Looking Out for No. 1
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; The Guess Who



Ev'ry day is an endless train, you got to ride it to the end of the line
Be a troubleshooter, blow the bad luck away
And you will make it to your station on time

And you'll find out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
You'll find out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
I mean you, keep looking out for number one

Ev'ry night is a different game, we gotta work for our fortune and fame
Success is a ladder, take a step at a time
And the people will remember you name

Yes, I found out all the tricks of the trade
And that there's only one way you're gonna get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
And that's me, I'm looking out for number one

Ev'ry day is an endless train, but I ride it to end of the line
I'm a real troubleshooter, and I blow it away
No one's gonna get what's mine

I found out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
I mean you, keep looking out for number one
And that's us; keep lookin' out for number one
That's me; I'm looking out for number one

Bar Imperio


Bar Imperio
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Hay un lugar
Bar Imperio
me dejo llevar
mis amigos también
que bueno es estar
y hablar un poco al pedo
cervezas y ron
hamburguesas no hay
especial de jamón...
sha na na na...

Beatles o Stones
Cortazar o Borges
El Gráfico y Perón
y la constitución
la hermana del Ruso
la neurona de Maradona
las minas de Menem, uh!
y el día después
de Racing campeón
sha na na na...

Un travesti voraz (sin piedad)
mira a un ex combatiente
Eh!! Gallego un café (hoy no se baño)
ni se piensa bañar
aguante nomás
aguante el Bar Imperio
si andas solo por ahí
si andas solo por ahí
con nosotros contás...
especial de jamón...
sha na na na...

Y cuando me pongo a pensar
que es un amigo de verdad?
un amigo es alguien que te gasta igual
pero te elogia por atrás

Padre nuestro que aún estás en el cielo
aguante "El Imperio"
lo más grande que hay...
sha na na na...
sha na na na...

Sister Adele


Sister Adele
(French Version: Soeur Adèle)
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Here is my guitar from Barcelona
Full of the soul of ancient Spain
Born of a tree in Catalonia
And of that mainly rainy plain

You'll like her form, gracious and slender
The sunny color of her skin.
You'll love her voice, mellow and tender
Her fiery beat will make you spin

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

I well remember when I met her
Hung in a showcase upside down
Right then and there I had to get her
From that old shop in Brussels town
Adios Espania and seguidillas
Adios toreros full of flame
No more sombreros and mantillas
Sister Adele shall be her name

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

One shiny day I heard God's calling
Oh yes, my Lord if You say so!
I packed my bags without much stalling
Took my quitar and said, Let's go!
Ever since then through every weather
Sister Adele stays at my side
Day in, day out, we sing together
Praising the Lord far and wide.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sister Adele is never lonely
She helps me keep my hope up high
God is her love, her one and only
I know he voice can reach the sky
Someday up there God be willing
I'll be a guest in the great hall.
And for the dance won't it be thrilling
Sister Adele will lead the ball!

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Walkin' with my baby she's got great big feet
She's long, lean, and lanky and ain't had nothing to eat

Crazy 'bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name

Crazy 'bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name

You know what mama told me? Mama said son ...
Keep away from that woman - she's gonna take all your money
Hey, hey, hey boy ... Don't laugh about my mama - you hear that?
Hey man I told you man ...
You don't know what you doin' boy - don't laugh about my mama

Soul Of The Sea


Soul Of The Sea
Composer(s): Nancy Wilson - Ann Wilson
Performer(s): Heart



Today you looked around to my heart's call
This tiny life ain't been strangled after all
Time, time, time, time
Never ask what's become of us
Just dedicate your sorrow
Here and now
To the soul of the sea
And me

Rushin' to me
You turned around to my song's call
You dreamer in the sand
Just lie there laughing til the fall
Kindest lover
I can't stay alone tonight
Bring me all your love
Here and now
Come rushin' to me

Wake up late
Without a smile
Telephone rings
You run like a child
On the street
Into the day
The people I meet
Have nothing to say

No smile
No sorrow
No laughter
No tomorrow
They talk hen to hen
They talk about their men
And practice all the tricks for them
Too soon nightime's coming on
Deep in the darkness feeling alone

No rain
No seed
No dreams
No silence
Far away today
Mama ocean hold me to you
Rock me on your waves
And tell me...
Is it all true?

Time, time, time, time
Never ask what's become of us
Dedicate your sorrow
Here and now
To the soul the sea and me

Soeur Adèle


Soeur Adèle
(English Version: Sister Adele)
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka Soeur Sourire)



C'était une guitare espagnole
Née d'un bouleau ou d'un sapin
Dans une boutique de Barcelone
Un beau matin du mois de juin
Au fond du coeur une étiquette
Indique son identité
Et sa parole chaude et discrète
Était bien douce à écouter

Dans une vitrine du vieux Bruxelles
On la suspendit par le cou
Puis certain jour une demoiselle
S'en vint l'acheter pour quelques sous
Adieu flamencos chauds d'Espagne
Andalousie et corridas
Jolie guitare, ma compagne
Adèle tu t'appeleras

Pour répondre à la voix divine
Qui l'invitait à sa moisson
La pérsonnelle - c'est moi - quitta la ville
Pour un couvent des environs
Adèle partit dans les bagages
Et commença son noviciat
Joyeuse et pleine de courage
Et chanta Dieu à pleine voix

Sur tous les tons de toute son âme
Adèle s'est vouée au Seigneur
Et ses chansons partout proclament
Que servir Dieu c'est son bonheur
Derrière les harpes et les cithares
Qui forment l'orchestre des cieux
On entendra, humble guitare
Un jour, Adèle, chez le Bon Dieu

Samson


Samson
Composer(s): Penny Els - Kick Dandy
First performance by: Emly Starr - 1981



Je houdt veel van veroveringen
Van liefde maar dan zonder trouw
Je weet wel wat je moet verzinnen
Voor ieder mooie vrouw

Oh playboy, 'k zou je graag vergeten
Oehoeh, niemand kan je liefde geven

Samson
Honderden verhalen zonder een Delilah
Samson
Vergeet je wilde haren
Zoek je een Delilah
Samson

Je geeft meer om je rare vrienden
Waarmee je luchtkastelen bouwt
Bij vrienden wil je vreugde vinden
Al hou ik echt van jou

Oh playboy, ik wil met je leven
Oehoeh, niemand kan je liefde geven

Samson
Honderden verhalen zonder een Delilah
Samson
Vergeet je wilde haren
Zoek je een Delilah
Samson

De liefde doet me iets teveel
'k Ben je Delilah
Als jij dat wil
'k Verlang zo naar jou
De ware Delilah
Als jij dat wil
Je enige vrouw

Oh playboy, ik wil met je leven
Oehoeh, geen ander kan je liefde geven

Samson
Honderden verhalen zonder een Delilah
Samson
'k Grijp je wilde haren graag
Ga met me mee
Samson, I love you
Samson...

Lookin' For Love


Lookin' For Love
Composer(s): Wanda Mallette - Bob Morrison - Pat Ryan
First release by: Johnny Lee - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playin' a fools game, hopin' to win
Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again

I was lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love

I was alone then, no love in sight
An' I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don''t know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend

I was lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love

You came a knockin' at my heart's door
You're everything I've been lookin' for

No more lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discovered you

Oh you, lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
(Lookin' for love) in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I've found a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discovered you
Oh you, lookin' for love
In all the wrong places ...

Soul On Fire


Soul On Fire
Composer(s): Lavern Baker
Performer(s): Lavern Baker



Well I could play with Tom, Dick, and Harry
but for me you're the only one
Who makes me me shiver,
makes me tingle,
and who brings my loving down

I played the love game before I met him
It's a game I've always won
but now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun

With other boyfriends, the good-time men friends
I still had to walk this road all by myself
I was their play girl, a careless gay girl
but I put them all on the shelf

I found my true love with you forever
and my life has just begun
cause now you set my soul on fire
and I really had my fun

Good bye to play boys
those hey hey hey boys
good bye to everyone but you my love
no more heart aches no more heart breaks
I swear by all the stars above,
well on my soul, my love, my heart
I'll miss you darling from now on
Cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun

Soeur Anne


Soeur Anne
Composer(s): Michel Emer
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Sœur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?

Je vois des soldats couverts d'armes
Tout prêts à mourir et à tuer
Partout, je ne vois que des larmes
Le monde semble s'y habituer
Je vois, plus violente que la peste
La haine couvrir l'horizon
Les hommes se déchirent, se détestent
Frontières, mitrailleuses, prisons
L'amour, qui n'a plus rien à faire
Viens de nous quitter à son tour
Sur terre, il était solitaire
L'amour a besoin de l'amour

Sœur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?

Je vois des enfants sans leur mère
Je vois des parents sans enfants
Et des paysans sans leurs terres
Je vois des terres sans paysans
Je vois des grandes maisons vides
Et de grands vides dans les maisons
Des gens au visage livide
Qui marchent sans chanter de chansons
Des hommes qui essaient de sourire
Des femmes au regard si peureux
Des vieux qui ne savent plus rire
Des jeunes qui sont déjà vieux

Sœur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?

Je vois une grande lumière
Qui semble venir de très loin
Je vois un enfant et sa mère
Mon Dieu, qu'ils sont loin, qu'ils sont loin...
Voici qu'ils s'approchent de la terre
L'enfant a grandi, je le vois
Il vient partager nos misères
Déjà, il apporte sa croix
Bientôt, sa divine colère
Chassera le démon pour toujours
Bientôt reviendra sur la terre
La vie, la pitié et l'amour

Sœur Anne, quand va-t-il revenir?...

Io Senza Te


Io Senza Te
Composer(s): N. Martinetti - P. Reber
First performance by: Peter, Sue & Marc - 1981



Dopo la tempesta camminiamo un po'
Sulla sabbia pesta chiacchieriamo un po'
Ho sbagliato io, hai sbagliato tu
Quel che è stato è stato, non parliamone più

Io senza te, cosa farei
Io non respiro se tu non ci sei
Io senza te, oh ... cosa sarei
Una farfalla che non vola più

Prenderti nel vento come un anno fa
Stesso sentimento, stessa intensità
E trovar parole che non dissi mai
Mentre il sole muore sul mio cuore stai

Io senza te, cosa farei
Della mia vita e dei giorni miei
Io senza te, oh ... come farei
Amore mio t'inventerei

Io senza te, cosa farei, oh ...
Io senza te, oh ... come farei
Amore mio t'inventerei

Amore mio t'inventerei

Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue


Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Bourtayre; Yves Desca
First release by: Séverine - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue
Où l'on a bercé nos rêves
On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue
Une enfance trop brève

Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir
Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir
Et c'est l'inoubliable instant
Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant

Chacun s'envole rempli d'espoir
Sur le chemin qu'il s'est choisi, qu'il s'est choisi
Vers la richesse ou vers la gloire
Pourtant quel que soit notre but, notre but

Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir
Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir
Et c'est l'inoubliable instant
Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant

Chacun dans son coin d'horizon
Ne défend que ses ambitions, ses ambitions
Même si nous ne partageons rien
Que nous reste-t-il en commun, en commun?

Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir
Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir
Et c'est l'inoubliable instant
Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant

La la la la la...

Composer(s): Michael Hawker - John Schroeder
Performer(s): Helen Shapiro



Look who it is
Fancy meeting you suddenly
Well look who it is
I can see you remember me

Yes I wanted to believe
I just didn’t need you
Then started feeling blue

Look who it is
It’s me and I still love you

Well look who it is
Did you think I’d forgotten you
I realize, that you may
Have found, someone new

But I just can not pretend
That I haven’t missed you
Why did I let you go

Look who it is
It’s me and I love you so

Baby now I realize
I made a big mistake
There are tear drops in my eyes
And my hear is about to break

Well look who it is
With his hand reaching out for mine
Well look who it is
Everything’s gonna turn out fine
Oh I have waited soo long
And prayed that id meet you
You with all your chores

Look who it is
And you’re in my arms
Look who it is
And you’re in my arms
Look who it is
And you’re in my arms

Look What You've Done To Me


Look What You've Done To Me
Composer(s): David Foster - Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs



Hope they never end this song
This could take us all night long
I looked at the moon and I felt blue
Then I looked again and I saw you
Eyes like fire in the night
Bridges burning with their light
Now I want to spend the whole night through
And Honey, Yes, I'd like to spend it all on you

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way ...

They might fade and turn to stone
Let's get crazy all alone
Hold me closer than you'd ever dare
Close your eyes and I'll be there
After all is said and done
After all you are the one
Take me up your stairs and through the door
Take me where we don't care anymore ...

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me ... would you
Leading me to feel this way ...

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way ...
