Outra Era


Outra Era
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Zeca Baleiro
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando a vida me leva
Pra longe do meu bem
Fico parecendo um trilho
Que não passa trem
Olho pro céu, o céu é mais além
Miro o espelho, não vejo ninguém

Tambor dentro do peito, coração manera
Para de chover que já é primavera
Amanhã já vem e parece quimera
Mera fantasia de quem só espera

Se eu não morrer
Eu vou te ver ‘manhã, depois
Em outra era
Em Tel Aviv, Bagdá, Brasília

A saudade ilha
Quem dera eu fosse o mar, quem dera
Em Fortaleza, Pequim, Bora-Bora
A tristeza chora
Quem dera eu pudesse te beijar agora

Minstrel Of The Dawn


Minstrel Of The Dawn
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



The minstrel of the dawn is here
To make you laugh and bend your ear
Up the steps you'll hear him climb
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is he
Not too wise but oh so free
He'll talk of life out on the street
He'll play it sad and say it sweet
Look into his shining face
Of lonelines you'll always find a trace
Just like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue

A minstrel of the changin' tide
He'll ask for nothing but his pride
Just sit him down upon that chair
Go fetch some wine and set it there
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

A minstrel of the dawn is near
Just like a step 'n fetchit here
He's like an old time troubador
Just wanting life and nothing more
Look into his shining eyes
And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
Like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue

The minstrel boy will understand
He holds a promise in his hand
He talks of better days ahead
And by his words your fortune's read
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is gone
I hope he'll call before too long
And if you meet him you must be
The victim of his minstrelsy
He'll sing for you a song
The minstrel of the dawn

Out On The Tiles


Out On The Tiles
Composer(s): John Bonham; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
and various other artists



As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along
There is no doubt about the words are clear
The voice is strong, is oh so strong

I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away
There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you

All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah

I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am
I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man
One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can

Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing I can do is run

All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah

Minnie's Yoo Hoo


Minnie's Yoo Hoo
Composer(s): Carl Stalling; Walt Disney
Performer(s): Kerry Butler



I'm the guy they call little Mickey Mouse
Got a sweetie down in the chicken house
Neither fat nor skinny, she's the horses whinny
She's my little Minnie Mouse

When it's feeding time for the animals
And they howl and growl like the cannibals
I just turn my heel, to the hen house steal
And you hear me sing this song

Oh, the old tom cat with his meow, meow, meow
Old houn' dog with his bow, wow, wow
The crows caw, caw, and the mule's hee-haw
Gosh what a racket like an old buzz saw

I have listened to the Kookoo kook his koo-koo
And I've heard the rooster cock his doodle doo doo
With the cows and the chickens, all sound like the dickens
I hear my little Minnie's yoo hoo...

Oh, the blue bird down in the cherry tree
And the busy buzz of the bumble bee
Evening bells a ringin', whip-poor-wills a singin'
Well they don't mean much to me

For my heart is down in the chicken house
Where I long to be with my Minnie Mouse
And I'll meet her there, mid that fragnance rare
Sing to her this melody

Oh, the old tom cat with his meow, meow, meow
Old houn' dog with his bow, wow, wow
The crows caw, caw, and the mule's hee-haw
Gosh what a racket like an old buzz saw

I have listened to the Kookoo kook his koo-koo
And I've heard the rooster cock his doodle doo doo
With the cows and the chickens, all sound like the dickens
I hear my little Minnie's yoo hoo...

Out Of Town


Out Of Town
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Robin Beaumont
Performer(s): Max Bygraves



Say what you will
The countryside is still
The only place where I could settle down
Troubles there are so much rarer
Out of town

Spring starts to spring
The cuckoo starts to sing
A song to take the edge off winter's frown
And spring cleaning has a meaning
Out of town

Up there the sun is a big yellow duster
Polishing the blue, blue sky
With white fluffy clouds in a cluster
Hanging on a breeze to dry

Trees everywhere
With blossoms in their hair
And Mother Nature wears her newest gown
What I'd give once more to live
Right out of town

Minnie The Moocher


Minnie The Moocher
Composer(s): Cab Calloway; Clarence Gaskill; Irving Mills
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and various other artists



Folks, now here´s a story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a red hot hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest faril
but Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le

Hodey-ho-dee-ho
Hidey-hi-dee-hi
Heedey-hee-dee-hee
Hodey-ho-dee-ho

Now she messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
He showed her how to kick the gong around

Hodey-ho
Hidey-hi
Whaddy-whee-ho
Hodey-ho-dee-ho

Now she had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin´
He gave her a home that was built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels

Whaddy-whoody-way
Oh baby
Wanna-be-beyou
Hodey-ho

Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
And she sat around and counted ´em all a million times

Hodey-hodey
Whoa-Minnie
Wholey-whay
Oh no

Poor Min, Poor Min, Poor Min

Out Of Time


Out Of Time
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): Chris Farlowe;
and various other artists



You don't know what's going on,
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch my baby,
My poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl,
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete, my baby,
My poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Minnie Shimme For Me


Minnie Shimme For Me
Composer(s): Jimmy Lucas; Billy Frisch



Big Sam Green had a queen, a regular dance hall houn'
And every where this gal would go
Big Sam would sure be foun'
She worked down in Sam's laundry
Waited on the trade all day
When an idle hour would roll around
You'd hear big Sam Green says

Minnie Snow said I'll go and nurse all the boys from France
And every day, to cheer them up
She'll do her little dance
The boys all seemed to like it
For they all would soon get well
Everytime that she would pass their cots
You'd hear the boys all yell

Minnie shimme for me
Minnie, shimme for me
Get way down, bend your knees
Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me
you're as sweet as you can be
You're better than a Broadway show
You're graceful when you move so slow
Say that's some dance (Oh Boy)
Let's go
Minnie do the shimme for me

Minnie shimme for me
Minnie, shimme for me
Get way down, bend your knees
Do that lovin' shiveree Minnie, shimme for me
you're as sweet as you can be
A soldier in an ambulance got just one look at Minne's dance
And yelled I'm cured I'll take one chance
Minnie do the shimme for me

Out Of The Question


Out Of The Question
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



One minute you say you will
And the next you won't
One minute you want me
And the next you don't
You're turning me upside down
Giving me the run around
Don't think that I don't know
I do
Don't think that I won't go
You watch me
It isn't out of question

One minute you're kissing me
And the next you're not
One minute you remember
And the next you've forgot
I don't like it one little bit
You're giving me the slip
Don't think that I don't know
I do
Don't think that I won't go
If you want me
It's really out of the question

Between us we could have conquered Everest
Sailed empty handed around the world
But no you couldn't wait
You had to go make the fatal mistake
Of leading me on
You silly girl, that was wrong

Don't think that I don't know
I do
Don't think that I won't go
You watch me
It isn't out of question

One minute you're full of life
And the next you're sad
One minute you're marvellous
And the next you're bad
I don't like it one little bit
You're giving me the slip
Don't think that I don't know
I do
Don't think that I won't go
If you want me
It's really out of the question

I'm doing my best and I don't know why
I'm giving her a call and there's no reply
She's getting me down till I can't get up
She's giving me hell and if that's not enough
She's breaking my heart nearly every day
Not only in pieces but every way
I'm sorry of course but the fault is hers

Out Of The East


Out Of The East
Composer(s): Jean C. Havez; Joe Rosey



Pale moon in the Eastern sky
Look down where Arabs lie
Smile down on the cavalcade
Wake not little dark eyed maid
Dreaming of a Prince so bold
High up on a throne of gold
Singing in a vision rare
Pleading to his dream love fair

Far far from the desert sands
Yonder in the vineyard lands
There dear is the place we'll go
There dear where the breezes blow
Palm trees wave a welcome dear
Swaying in the sunlight clear
Blue skies with an opal glow
Calling bid us gently go

Oriental maiden
Be my jewel laden
Princess all array'd in glory
Dream of love's sweet longing
Tender fancies thronging
Told in royal song and story
See the Sphinx beguiling
Pyramids are smiling
To my sweet heart while in slumber
All the sentimental
All the Oriental
Dreams are born
Out of the East

Minha Selva


Minha Selva
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Des pas au couchant se glissent
Dans la poussière du soleil
Des patios aux dalles lisses
Des hamacs sans sommeil
L'eau transparente qu'on rêve
Et qui jamais n'apparaît
Vient la valse des regrets

Noir labyrinthe des jungles
Où le chasseur disparaît
Egorgé près de son flingue
Par le tigre qu'il voulait
La chaleur et puis la fièvre
Et l'attente du passeur
Voyageur

Minha selva, minha selva

Etre à l'aube des échecs
Seul avec des jivaros
Sans un mot, avec des chefs
Venus du Mato Grosso
C'est la selva qui t'enseigne
La solitude des rois
La solitude

Dans l'abstraction végétale
La forêt prend des allures
Formidables de cathédrales
Dressés dans le clair-obscur
Le temps n'est pas un chantage
Il ne prouve pas le vécu

Minha selva, minha selva

Qui peut vivre ici, des hommes
Qui n'ont jamais connu de loi
Je parle de la loi des hommes
Dont la nature ne veut pas
Qui connaissent comme personne
Tout ce que vous ne saurez pas
La selva

Minha selva, minha selva

Out Of Nowhere


Out Of Nowhere
Composer(s): Edward Heyman; Johnny Green
Performer(s): Lena Horne;
and various other artists



You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with the memory
I’ll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you’ll bring your love to me

When I least expected, kindly fate directed
You to make each dream of mine come true
And if it’s clear or raining there is no explaining
Things just happened and so did you

You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and you found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with, with the memory
I’ll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you’ll bring your love to me

Minha História


Minha História
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Lucio Dalla; P. Pallottino
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Maria Bethânia



Ele vinha sem muita conversa, sem muito explicar
Eu só sei que falava e cheirava e gostava de mar
Sei que tinha tatuagem no braço e dourado no dente
E minha mãe se entregou a esse homem perdidamente

Ele assim como veio partiu não se sabe pra onde
E deixou minha mãe com o olhar cada dia mais longe
Esperando, parada, pregada na pedra do porto
Com seu único velho vestido cada dia mais curto

Quando enfim eu nasci minha mãe embrulhou-me num manto
Me vestiu como se fosse assim uma espécie de santo
Mas por não se lembrar de acalantos, a pobre mulher
Me ninava cantando cantigas de cabaré

Minha mãe não tardou a lertar toda a vizinhança
A mostrar que ali estava bem mais que uma simples criança
E não sei bem se por ironia ou se por amor
Resolveu me chamar com o nome do Nosso Senhor

Minha história é esse nome que ainda hoje carrego comigo
Quando vou bar em bar, viro a mesa, berro, bebo e brigo
Os ladrões e as amantes, meus colegas de copo e de cruz
Me conhecem só pelo meu nome Menino Jesus

Out Of My Mind


Out Of My Mind
Composer(s): Dino Valenti
Performer(s): Quicksilver



Out of my mind, that's what she said to me
she was unkind, said I was crazy
I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane?
She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange
She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello
But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines
The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind
How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all?
I said that was sad, she didn't understand
It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines
The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane?
What can you do?
Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way

Minha Canção


Minha Canção
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Vania Abreu



Dorme a cidade
Resta um coração
Misterioso
Faz uma ilusão
Soletra um verso
Lavra a melodia
Singelamente
Dolorosamente
Doce a música
Silenciosa
Larga o meu peito
Solta-se no espaço
Faz-se a certeza
Minha cançao
Réstia de luz onde
Dorme o meu irmão

Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed


Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed
Composer(s): Peggy Forman
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Lying alone in this big ol' bed
Got you on the mind
I said when you left I could make it by myself
But it gets harder all the time

And I can't take it no more I see your face
Every time I close my eyes
So I'm going out now and I'm lookin' for you
Some winter night

I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night without you holding me tight
I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere
That you might be
When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' comes

Well I might find somebody new
To share my misery
But no other man can do what you can
When it comes to lovin' me

Oh I don't want nobody to say that
I was a fool for being good
I won't be satisfied till you're
Back in my arms and I'm lovin' you

I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night without you holding me tight
I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere
That you might be
When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' comes

I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night without you holding me tight
I miss your lovin' touch I'm gonna search everywhere
That you might be
When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head and back in my bed
'Fore the mornin' comes

Mine For Me


Mine For Me
Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Linda McCartney
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song
Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
You're for me

Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me

They'll never be another one like you for me

Out Of My Dreams


Out Of My Dreams
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Joan Roberts;
and various other artists



Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly
I will come as evening comes to woo a waiting sky
Out of my dreams and into the hush of falling shadows
When the mist is low and stars are breaking through
Then out of my dreams I'll go
Into a dream with you
Won't have to make up anymore stories
You'll be there!
Think of the bright midsummer night
Glories we can share
Won't have to go on kissing a daydream
I'll have you
You'll be real
Real as the white moon lighting the blue
Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly
I will come as evening comes to woo a waiting sky
Out of my dreams and into the hush of falling shadows,
When the mist is low and stars are breaking through
Then out of my dreams I'll go
Into a dream with you

Mine All Mine


Mine All Mine
Composer(s): Michael Anthony; Sammy Hagar;
Alex Van Halen; Eddie Van Halen
Performer(s): Van Halen



Forgive me father
For I have sinned
I've been through hell and back again
Shook hands with the devil
Looked him in the eye
Looked like a long lost friend
Anything you want
Any dirty deeds
He's got everything
Except what I really need
Keepin' me temporarily satisfied
But not one thing I tried
Filled me up inside
Or felt like mine
Mine, all mine
Yeah, the search goes on
The more I look
My world keeps getting smaller
Staring at the sun
Searchin' for the light
Almost ended up blinded
Some only see
What they want to see
Claiming victory
Oh, but that's not me
Give me truth
Give me something real
I just want to feel
Like it's
Mine, all mine
Oh really mine, all mine
Come on give me something
Something that's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
All the words on the wall
Look the same in the mirror
Every riddle
Every clue
You got Allah in the east
You got Jesus in the west
Christ, what's a man to do?
They'll find a cure for anything
Just kill the pain
Numb my brain
We see a man
Speaking the word of God
Provin' to be a fraud
His own church applauds
Stop lookin' out
Start lookin' in
Be your own best friend
Stand up and say
Hey! This is mine
All mine, all mine, all mine
Baby, you got something
And I got something
And it's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Yes, I'm searching
Mine, all mine
Got to have it
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
