Fire Down Below (Jeri Southern)


Fire Down Below
Composer(s): Lester Lee;
Ned Washington; Jack Simon
Performer(s): Jeri Southern;
Quinn Lemley; Arthur Lyman



Don’t believe my eyes, they’re the coldest eyes
But I’m not so cold, let me put you wise
Keeping the temperature so low, this is a work of art
For there’s a fire down below, down below in my heart

And my crazy lips, they’re such lazy lips
But there’ll come to life should we come to grips
If you have anything in mind, warn you before you start
There is a fire down below, down below in my heart

Now that you’re getting my number, know what I’m talking about
Pile on the coal and the lumber, don’t let the fire go out

I’ll admit my face is the quiet type
This can all be changed when the time is right
Call off the volunteer brigade, call off the fire cart
For there’s a fire down below, down below, down below
Down below in my heart

Now that you’re getting my number, know what I’m talking about
Pile on the coal and the lumber, don’t let the fire go out

Cinnamon Cinder (It's A Very Nice Dance)


Cinnamon Cinder (It's A Very Nice Dance)
Composer(s): Russ Regan
Performer(s): Pastel Six; Mark Wynter



There's a place out Hollywood way
Where the crowd goes to play
They jump and shout and have a ball
And let me tell you that ain't all

They do the CC Cinnamon Cinder...
CC Cinnamon Cinder
CC Cinnamon Cinder...
It's a very nice dance

You can do any step you choose
It's a dance of rhythm and blues
Just shake your shoulder and shuffle your feet
And keep in time to that low down beat

And do the CC Cinnamon Cinder...
CC Cinnamon Cinder
CC Cinnamon Cinder...
It's a very nice dance

You can dance right out of this world
So hey boy get a girl
And hey girl get a boy
And come on down to that land of joy

And do the CC Cinnamon Cinder...
CC Cinnamon Cinder
CC Cinnamon Cinder...
It's a very nice dance

Canzone Libera


Canzone Libera Composer(s): Adelio Cogliati - Eros Ramazzotti - Vladi Tosetto Performer(s): Gianni Morandi



Ho camminato fino a qui
senza risparmiarmi mai
sempre pronto lo sai
a inseguire chissà dove
le volate del mio cuore
sì ogni sentimento io
l'ho cresciuto a modo mio
ogni amore così diventava una passione
e i tuoi occhi una canzone
canzone libera capace di volare
il resto è storia che tu conosci già
canzone libera
di credere che l'ultima non sia
a questo punto della vita mia

Ho camminato fino a qui
e la strada gira già
verso nuove avventure
verso giorni da inventare
da dividere con te
canzone libera capace di volare
toccarti dentro e poi rimanere lì
canzone libera di credere
che non andrai più via
a questo punto della vita mia
fortemente mia
questa vita che
voglio continuare
a raccontare a te
canzone libera
di credere che l'ultima non sia
a questo punto della vita mia

Fire Brothers


Fire Brothers
Composer(s): Gary Duncan
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service;
This Mortal Coil



In the valley where the moons and lovers play
live two children who work on Saturday
One was dark, one was fair
followed by the hawk, mothered by the mare
Stranger children you will never see
brothers of the forest and the sea
One was land, one was air
and they kept the fires burning there
In a golden vessel and silver vase
kept them burning in the strange enchanted place
Kept them burning to the sky
for they knew someday the sun would die

The Cincinnati Kid


The Cincinnati Kid
Composer(s): Dorcas Cochran - Lalo Schifrin
Performer(s): Ray Charles
and multiple other artists



He came with the name Cincinnati
A kid with no ace in the hole
On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati
Had staked his heart and soul
He played night and day like a demon
And prayed for that one lucky day
When the lush royal flush of his dreaming
Is just a game away
Beyond all the green felt shadows
His own queen of hearts will wait
But till he's king of the green felt shadows
She'll wait, and wait, and wait
For sure as the cards will be falling
And chips in the pot, he'll remain
For the book Lady Luck will be calling

Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
I mean the Cincinnati kid
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid

I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid
Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid
Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid

Canzone Del Rimpianto


Canzone Del Rimpianto Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi



Lascierà il confine l'inverno, e se ne andrà canterà l'uccello che ieri non cantò ... ma scosceso è il monte ed io so che i fiori suoi non mi cederà Frutti porterà questo ampio melo frutti verdi e rossi che non coglierò ... per un'altra terra io camminerò, là l'autunno mi ritroverà

Every single day I got a heartache comin' my way
I don't wanna say goodbye, baby but look at the tears in my eye

Poor man's heart break

Baby I'm gonna leave you now
But I'm gonna try to make you grieve somehow

A poor man's heart break

You've got what it takes-uh to make a poor man's heart break
Fire, fire and water musta made you their daughter

Canzone (Lucio Dalla)


Canzone Composer(s): Samuele Bersani - Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



Non so aspettarti più di tanto
Ogni minuto mi dà
L'stinto di cucire il tempo
E di portarti di qua
Ho un materasso di parole
Scritte apposta per te
E ti direi spegni la luce
Che il cielo c'è
Star lontano da lei non si vive
Stare senza di lei mi uccide

Testa dura testa di rapa
Vorrei amarti anche qua
Nel cesso di una discoteca
O sopra il tavolo di un bar
O stare nudi in mezzo a un campo
A sentirsi addosso il vento
Io non chiedo più di tanto
Anche se muoio son contento

Star lontano da lei non si vive
Stare senza di lei mi uccide

Canzone cercala se puoi
dille che non mi perda mai
va' per le strade e tra la gente
diglielo veramente

Io i miei occhi dai tuoi occhi
Non li staccherei mai
E adesso anzi me li mangio
Tanto tu non lo sai
Occhi di mare senza scogli
Il mare sbatte su di me
Che ho sempre fatto solo sbagli
Ma uno sbaglio che cos'è

Stare lontano da lei non si vive
Stare senza di lei mi uccide

Canzone cercala se puoi
dille che non mi lasci mai
va' per le strade e tra la gente
diglielo dolcemente

E come lacrime la pioggia
Mi ricorda la tua faccia
Io la vedo in ogni goccia
Che mi cade sulla giacca

Stare lontano da lei non si vive
Stare senza di lei mi uccide

Canzone trovala se puoi
dille che l'amo e se lo vuoi
va' per le strade e tra la gente
diglielo veramente
non può restare indifferente
e se rimane indifferente
non è lei

Fire And Rain


Fire And Rain
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor



Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about
things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Canzone (Adriano Celentano)


Canzone Composer(s): Don Backy - Detto Mariano Performer(s): Adriano Celentano; Don Backy; Milva



Nel più bel sogno, ci sei solamente tu
sei come un'ombra che non tornerà mai più
tristi sono le rondini nel cielo
mentre vanno verso il mare
é la fine di un amore

Io sogno e nel mio sogno vedo che
non parlerò d'amore, non ne parlerò mai più
quando siamo alla fine di un amore
piangerà soltanto un cuore
perché l'altro se ne andrà
Ora che sto pensando ai miei domani
son bagnate le mie mani
sono lacrime d'amore

Nel più bel sogno ci sei solamente tu
sei come un'ombra che non tornerà mai più
questa canzone vola per il cielo
le sue note nel mio cuore
stan segnando il mio dolore
Questa canzone vola per il cielo
le sue note nel mio cuore
stan segnando il mio dolore

Fire And Ice


Fire And Ice
Composer(s): Pat Benatar;
Tom Kelly; Scott St. Clair Sheets
Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rasputina



Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in
I'd be playin' with fire
You forget, I've seen you work before
Take `em straight to the top
Leave `em cryin' for more
I've seen you burn `em before

Chorus:
Fire and ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

Movin' in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn `em before

Chorus

So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I won't be takin' in by Fire and ice

Chorus

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

The Chokin' Kind


The Chokin' Kind
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release by: Waylon Jennings - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I only meant to love you, don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart but now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death, girl, it's the chokin' kind

You can kill a man with bullets, poison or a knife
But it hurts him more to take his pride and run his life
Whatever it is you want, girl, Lord I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head, it's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again girl, take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches, walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe, don't make your love the chokin' kind

Oh, baby bye-bye, baby bye-bye, baby bye-bye, oh baby bye-bye
Bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye

Cantos Do Rio


Cantos Do Rio
Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio
Quem esquece a lembrança na dor
Na alegria daquele assobio
Tem gosto de fruta, tem cheiro de flor
Na alegria daquele assobio
Tem gosto de fruta, tem cheiro de flor
É um jeito vadio no andar
Um sorriso moleque no olhar
Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio
É feira, de fruta, é barraca de flor
Pelos quatro mil cantos do Rio
É feira, de fruta, é barraca de flor
Rio de Janeiro
Da fruteira, a flor
Vi o ano inteiro
Madureira em cor
Madureira, madureira em cor
Quem madruga no meu coração
É mangueira primeira estação
Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo
E cedo madura no pé do verão
Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo
E cedo madura no pé do verão
Casca dura de toda fruteira
Que só dá fruta de casca dura
Madureira me diga o que é
É fruta madura que nasce no pé
Madureira me diga o que é
É fruta madura que nasce no pé
Rio de Janeiro
Da fruteira, a flor
Vi o ano inteiro
Madureira em cor
Oh, Madureira, Madureira em cor
Oh, Madureira, Madureira em cor
Quem madruga no meu coração
É mangueira primeira estação
Quem nem fruta que brota mais cedo
E cedo madura no pé do verão...

Fire (The Pointer Sisters)


Fire
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters;
and various other artists



I'm riding in your car, you turn on the radio
You pullin' me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

Late at night, you're taking me home
You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
a grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet, a love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

Hot kisses like fire
I like what you're doing now, fire
Fill me up with fire, touching me burning me with fire

The Chieftain's Daughter


The Chieftain's Daughter (aka Chief Bright Sky)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): George Vinton Graham



In autumn when evening was spreading
Her pinions of darkness o'er all
In numbers the Indians came treading
Approaching Niagara Falls

For the love of tradition had taught them
That one of their tribe every year
At the casting of lots should be chosen
To pass down the Falls without fear

The Chieftain had only one daughter
He loved her as loved he his life
Possessing the braveness he taught her
She fears not, though costing her life

They thought that the Chieftain would surely
Have them to cast lots o'er once more
But nothing unfair did he claim her
She left them and marched off to shore

A coffin, canoe and a paddle
Lie waiting for her to step in
Long farewell to pony and saddle
Long farewell to forest and kin

And just as a moonbeam was sparkling
To gather her in its bright beam
She quickly pushed out her boat light
And silently rowed down the stream

Now out from the banks of the river
A boat was seen skimming the tide
Oh, see how he loves his daughter
He takes of his place by her side

But one weeps alone in the moonlight
On the night comes a pitying cry
From a mother who makes her heart quiver
For daughter and Chieftain Bright Sky

Cantorcito De Contramano


Cantorcito De Contramano Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs



Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano
a la gente le costo mucho para verte triunfar
y mientras vos cantabas yo creo que tu mente
estaba en otro lado contando las entradas
Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste
ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte

Quien te dijo que la gente
se levanta alegre para ir a trabajar
lamento decirte pero estas equivocado
la gente solo rie si le dicen la verdad
La verdad no deberia ofender a nadie
el que no la acepta es porque mintiendo esta

Yo creo que sos bueno y sos un padre ejemplar
con eso no me meto te deseo lo mejor
de todo corazon te lo digo como hermano
porque a pesar de todo de la misma patria somos
La gente ya quiere escuchar otra cancion
se sienten impotentes si un cantor no los defiende

El indio hace vasija y artesania en barro
y luego van de aqum y se la compran por dos mangos
eso por ejemplo es decir una verdad
y quedan muchas mas que podrias vos cantar
La gente te pide que ahora pagues una entrada
ellos quieren verse alguna vez triunfar

Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano
tus letras siempre dicen que anda todo todo bien
te doy un consejo aporta un poquito mas
tu forma de pensar se quedo en el club del clan
Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste
ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte
