Traffic vertu
J'aime ou je tue
Magique exclu
Hors de ma vue
Je t'aime encore
J'envoie d'abord
Le cri des villes
Sur du vinyle

Taxi driver
Nœud de vipères
Flic solitaire
Tombé par terre
Amour porno
Chacun sa peau
Je vends du spleen
Tu vends du jean

Lentement je vois
Cet univers-là
Glisser vers le froid
Le compte à rebours
Dans l'air nucléaire
Les derniers rebelles
Brûlent sous les lasers
Du manque d'amour

Que veux-tu que je sois
Dans cette société-là?
Un ange ou un cobra
Un tueur ou un rat?
Où veux-tu que je vive
Dans la radioactive?
Comment veux-tu que je meure
D'un bel accord mineur?

Plastic de choc
Crédit ou cash
Plus on se cache
Plus on décroche
Je suis accroc
Chez les dingos
Milliards de flash
Qui jouent au squash

Regarde-toi
Regarde-moi
On n'se voit plus
On est perdus
Dans le vacarme
Du bruit qui court
Je t'ai menti
Je t'aime encore

Lentement je vois
Cet univers-là
Glisser vers le froid
Le compte à rebours
Dans l'air nucléaire
Les derniers rebelles
Brûlent sous les lasers
Du manque d'amour

Que veux-tu que je sois
Dans cette société-là?
Un ange ou un cobra
Un tueur ou un rat?
Où veux-tu que je vive
Dans la radioactive?
Comment veux-tu que je meure
D'un bel accord mineur?

Je t'aime encore
Je t'aime encore

I Married Joan


I Married Joan
Composer(s): Richard Mack



I married Joan
What a girl, what a whirl, what a life
Oh I married Joan
What a mind, love is blind what a wife

Giddy and gay, all day she keeps my heart laughin'
Never know where her brain has flown
Each to his own
Can't deny that's why I married Joan

Just one of your kisses

Traduzir-Se


Traduzir-Se
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Ferreira Gullar
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Uma parte de mim é todo mundo
Outra parte é ninguém
Fundo sem fundo
Uma parte de mim é multidão
Outra parte estranheza e solidão
Uma parte de mim, pesa
Pondera
Outra parte, delira
Uma parte de mim almoça e janta
Outra parte se espanta
Uma parte de mim é permanente
Outra parte se sabe de repente
Uma parte de mim é só vertigem
Outra parte, linguagem
Traduzir uma parte noutra parte
Que é uma questão de vida ou morte
Será arte?
Será arte?

I Made It Through The Rain


I Made It Through The Rain
Composer(s): Gerard W. Kenny; Drey Shepperd
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
and multiple other artists



We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep our feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through
Those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew
I could finally say...

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

A true musician plays
Through all the rainy days
And every song survives
He takes the stage by storm
And keeps the music warm
Until his luck arrives
And then a melody appears
Taking him past
Those weather beaten years...

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

No matter how it rains
A singer entertains
And music must be made
Before you draw the crowd
Your pour your heart out loud
And start your own parade
Then you play the clouds away
Waiting until you hear
Your music say...

Then you play the clouds away
Waiting until you hear
Your music say...

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

Just One Of Those Things


Just One Of Those Things
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



It was just one o' those things
Just one o' those crazy flings
One o' those bells that now and then rings
Just one o' those things

It was just one o' those nights
Just one o' those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Yes, it was one o' those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started painting that town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So goodbye, goodbye, bye-bye, goodbye, baby, and amen
Here's hopin' we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one o' those things

Trade Winds


Trade Winds
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Cliff Friend
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Down where the trade winds play
Down where you lose a day
We found a new world where paradise starts

We traded hearts way down where the trade winds play
Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair
Under an awning of silvery boughs

We traded vows the night that I sailed away
Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make
Oh trade winds, are they only made to break

When it is May again, I'll sail away again
Though I'm returning, it won't be the same
She traded her name way down where the trade winds play

I Lupi Attorno A Noi


I Lupi Attorno A Noi ((French Version: Le Temps Des Loups (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Giancotto Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Se guarderai io sono qui, non vivo più Cammino, ma non so perché Senza di te, che senso ha Per te strangolerò la rabbia Per te io fermerò la pioggia E i lupi poi cancellero Ascolta un po' Un cuore che ha pianto te In mezzo a mille cose che Cambiando poi, mi lascian qui Per te io scorso la violenza Per te reinventerò l'infanzia Che i lupi sa ammestrar Vorrei in fondo agli occhi tuoi Scordar le pene Spezzar con i capelli tuoi Le mie catene Vedere che per l'amore che tu hai Da oggi in poi scompare Chi non sa amar Stringiti a me Valgo soltanto quel che sai Le unghie e i denti anch'io li ho Ma i sogni miei non son così Per te soltanto tenerezza Per te la nostra debolezza I lupi poi sconfiggerà Così cammino Senza di te verso l'abisso Lo sai, sarei Senza di te meno che niente Ritorna qui e con te, con l'amor Cancellerò i lupi attorno a noi Vieni con me, candidamente Crederò che nei segreti del tuo cuor Un mondo arriva e l'altro va Per te la fede più profonda Lo sai, mi porta nel tuo mondo Dove vedrai non i saranno più I lupi ormai

I Lunden Den Gröna
Composer(s): Bjorn Ulveus; Karlberg; Rooth; Schwarz
Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers



I lunden den gröna går flickor sköna
att plocka blommor ut i det gröna
De skola plocka dem, de skola binda dem
de skola kalla dem förgätmigej

Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
de skola kalla dem förgätmigej
Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
de skola kalla dem förgätmigej

På havets bölja jag mej befinner
och ostkustblomman på kinden brinner
Och himlens stjärnor de skola lysa
och fridens änglar omfamna mej

Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
och fridens änglar de omfamna mej
Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
och fridens änglar de omfamna mej

Och när du friar så var försiktig
och när du skriver så var uppriktig
Och när du reser så glöm ej bort mej
som förr har varit din utvalda vän

Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
som förr har varit din utvalda vän
Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
som förr har varit din utvalda vän

Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
som förr har varit din utvalda vän
Hej du sing duda, hej du sing duda
som förr har varit din utvalda vän

Just One More Chance


Just One More Chance
Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Arthur Johnston
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



We spend our lives groping for happiness
I found it once but tossed it aside
I paid for it with hours of loneliness
I've nothing to hide, I'd bury my pride for

Just one more chance
To prove it's you alone I care for
Each night I say a little prayer for
Just one more chance

Just one more night
To taste the kisses that enchant me
I'd want no others if you'd grant me
Just one more chance

I've learned the meaning of repentance
Now you're the jury at my trial
I know that I should serve my sentence
Still I'm hoping all the while you'll give me

Just one more word
I said that I was glad to start out
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
For just one more chance

Track Track


Track Track
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Os Paralamas do Sucesso



No se pasa el tiempo
Al menos para mí ya tome pastillas
Y sigo sin dormir
Miro a los costados y nada que amarrar
Ya no existen lazos
Alguien hizo trac, trac, trac

Todos los perfumes, todo aquel lugar
Todas las miserias y toda la verdad
Cada movimiento del sol en la pared
Cada mueble viejo, cada anochecer
Eh, eh, eh

Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor
Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor

Pocas garantías hay para los dos
Nada en este mundo tiene algún valor
Todo el vecindario puede proceder
Yo soy sospechoso como vos y él

Vino todo el mundo, la radio y la TV
Vino el comisario, los ángeles también
Todos quieren algo, sangre o no se qué
Y todo el universo sigue intacto como ayer

Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor
Dame tu amor, sólo tu amor

Just One More


Just One More
Composer(s): George Jones
Performer(s): George Jones;
and various other artists



Put the Bottle on the table
Let it stay there till I'm not able
To see her face in ev'ry place that I go
I've been sitting here so long

Just remembering that you are gone
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if she’s still on my mind
One drink, Just One More, and then another

I'll keep drinking, it won't matter
I'll just remember that I once had her
I don't know why I sit and cry ev'ry day

I've been trying to forget, but I haven’t stopped as yet
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if she’s still on my mind
One drink, just one more, and then another

So, put the bottle on the table
Let it stay there till I'm not able
To see her face in ev'ry place that I go
I've been sitting here so long

Just remembering that she is gone
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if she’s still on my mind
One drink, just One More, and then another...

Traces


Traces
Composer(s): Buddy Buie - James Cobb - Emory Gordy
First release: Classics IV - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Faded photographs
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love

Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letter
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love with me tonight

I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she'll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh-oh-ooohhh

Traces of hope in the night
That she'll come back and dry
Theses traces of tears from my eyes
Oh-oh-oh-ooohhh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah

Samantha, you're all
I'll ever adore
So forgive me, do
If I say to you
What I've said so often before

Together, Samantha
We could ride a star and ride it high
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one-gal guy
And if some distant day
You decided to say
"Get along, go away, goodbye!"
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one-gal guy
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one gal guy

Trabajo, Quiero Trabajo


Trabajo, Quiero Trabajo
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui



Cruzando los salitrales
uno se muere de sed
Aquello es puro desierto
y allí no hay nada que hacer

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
Un día veré al desierto
convertido en un vergel

El río es puro paisaje
lejos sus aguas se van
pero mis campos se queman
sin acequias ni canal

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
Un día veré a mi campo
convertido en un vergel

Las entrañas de la tierra
va el minero a revolver
Saca tesoros ajenos
y muere de hambre después

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
No quiero que naides pase
las penas que yo pasé

Despacito, paisanito
despacito y tenga fe
que en la noche del miner
o ya comienza a amanecer

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
