(Everything I Do) I Do It For You


(Everything I Do) I Do It For You
((Dutch Version: Alles Wat Ik Doe (Sandra Kim & Frank Galan) - 1997)) Composer(s): Bryan Adams - Michael Kamen - Robert John Lange First release by: Bryan Adams - 1991 Covered by multiple other artists



Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there, you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Yeah, I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - yeah, I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do
Ohhhhhhh, I do it for you

The City


The City
Composer(s): Jon Mark
Performer(s): Mark-Almond Band



Well, I slept last night in the open
Down by a redwood tree
Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free

I don't want to know, I don't want to go
I don't want to go back into the city
It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere

Well, I slept last night in the open
(It gets so hot in the city)

Down by a redwood tree
(It gets so hot in the city)

Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free

I don't want to know, I don't want to go
I don't want to go back into the city
It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere

Canzone Per Un'amica


Canzone Per Un'amica Composer(s): I Nomadi - Francesco Guccini Performer(s): Francesco Guccini; I Nomadi



Lunga e diritta correva la strada
l'auto veloce correva
la dolce estate era già cominciata
vicino lui sorrideva

Forte la mano teneva il volante
forte il motore cantava
non lo sapevi che c'era la morte
quel giorno che ti aspettava

Non lo sapevi che c'era la morte
quando si e' giovani e' strano
poter pensare che la nostra sorte
venga e ci prenda per mano

Non lo sapevi ma cosa hai pensato
quando la strada e' impazzita
quando la macchina e' uscita di lato
e sopra a un'altra e' finita

Non lo sapevi ma cosa hai sentito
quando lo schianto ti ha uccisa
quando anche il cielo di sopra e' crollato
quando la vita e' fuggita

Dopo il silenzio soltanto e' regnato
tra le lamiere contorte
sull'autostrada cercavi la vita
ma ti ha incontrato la morte

Vorrei sapere a che cosa e' servito
vivere amare e soffrire
spendere tutti i tuoi giorni passati
se presto hai dovuto partire

Voglio però ricordarti com'eri
pensare che ancora vivi
voglio pensare che ancora mi ascolti
e che come allora sorridi

Canzone Per Sergio


Canzone Per Sergio
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni



Il ladro di cavalli non era lui
ma fù impiccato per comodità
e l'uomo di rpofilo non sibastò
partì cercando l'altra sua metà
il capitano Achab non torna più
dal viaggio contro l'impossibile...
oh Sergio, non ho tempo di scriverti
ma, d'altra parte, non ti ho scritto mai
e come ti potevo scrivere?
Erano stati tutti amici miei
A volte sentono che bussano
non è niente, niente, niente
non sono loro che tornano
solo vento, vento, vento...
ne avrò di tempo per amare
prima che netri lei?

Il grande orologiaio non passa più
e gli orologi li aggiustiamo noi
adesso costruiamo le macchine
vedessi, come sono belle, sai
a volte c'incontriamo sugli argini
e ci contiamo, e manchi sempre tu...
oh, Sergio non ho tempo di scriverti
ma d'altra parte non ti ho scritto mai
oh, sì, di cose qui ne succedono
ma ci illudiamo d'inventarle noi
siamo un passaggio di allodole
con un colpo andiamo giù
mentre cerchiamo di scegliere
se volare a nord o a sud...
e gli anni indietro, e gli anni Sergio
e quando c'eri tu...

Il tempo mischia bene le bibite
gli imperativie quel che mando giù
qualcuno vede ancora negli occhi miei
quel che gli specchi non rifletton più
si spezza la collana, le idee van giugrve
stan rotolando un po' di qua e di là
e tutti a dirmi come raccoglierle
non c'è nessuno qui che non lo sa
non riesco a immaginarmi di vivere
illuminto dalla verità
la risposta nel vento dov'è, dov'è?
Sarà la stessa per ognuno di noi?
Oh sergio, non ho tempo di scriverti
ma un giorno o l'altro mi rincontrerai

ci appoggeremo sui gomiti
quando il sole viene giù
mi accadrà di sorridere
come non speravo più...
e l'occhio azzurro avrà un momento
uguale all'occhio blu...

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

Composer(s): Russ Regan

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...

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...

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 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

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
