O Ciúme

O Ciúme
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Dorme o sol à flor do Chico meio-dia
Tudo esbarra embriagado de seu lume
Dorme ponte, Pernambuco, o rio, Bahia
Só vigia um ponto negro: o meu ciúme
O ciúme lançou sua flecha preta
E se viu ferido justo na garganta
Quem nem alegre, nem triste nem poeta
Entre Petrolina e Juazeiro canta
Velho Chico vens de Minas
De onde o oculto do mistério se escondeu
Sei que o levas todo em ti
Não me ensinas
E eu sou só eu só eu
Juazeiro, nem te lembras dessa tarde
Petrolina, nem te chegaste a perceber
Mas, na voz que canta tudo ainda arde
Tu é perda, tudo quer buscar, cadê
Tanta gente canta, tanta gente cala
Tantas almas esticadas no curtume
Sobre toda estrada, sobre toda sala
Paira, monstruosa, a sombra do ciúme

O Circo Místico

O Circo Místico
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Não
Não sei se é um truque banal
Se um invisível cordão
Sustenta a vida real

Cordas de uma orquestra
Sombras de um artista
Palcos de um planeta
E as dançarinas no grande final

Chove tanta flor
Que, sem refletir
Um ardoroso expectador
Vira colibri

Qual
Não sei se é nova ilusão
Se após o salto mortal
Existe outra encarnação

Membro de um elenco
Malas de um destino
Partes de uma orquestra
Duas meninas no imenso vagão

Negro refletor
Flores de organdi
E o grito do homem voador
Ao cair em si

Não sei se é vida real
Um invisível cordão
Após o salto mortal

It Keeps Rainin'


It Keeps Rainin'
Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Fats Domino; Robert Guidry
Performer(s): Fats Domino; Keith Powell; Jerry Williams



It keeps raining and raining
Tears from my eyes
Since you gone
All I do is cry
Won't somebody help
Somebody help me
Can't you see
That my baby done left me
She left me reeling and rocking
Walking the floor
She left a note last night
She won't be back no more.

It keeps raining and raining
Tears from my eyes
Since you gone

Won't somebody help
Somebody help me
Can't you see
That my baby done left me

She left a note last night
She won't be back no more

O Cio Da Terra

O Cio Da Terra
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Debulhar o trigo
Recolher cada bago do trigo
Forjar no tirgo o milagre do pão
E se fartar de pão

Decepar a cana
Recolher a garapa da cana
Roubar da cana a doçura do mel
Se lambuzar de mel

Afagar a terra
Conhecer os desejos da terra
Cio da terra, a propícia estação
E fecundar o chão

Bing! Bang! Bong!


Bing! Bang! Bong!
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Sophia Loren



Prego, prego, anywhere you may go
make each day be a day full of fun
if there's a game or a girl to be one
do it with a bing, bang, bong (a bing bang bong) a bing, bang, bong

Presto, presto, do your very besto
don't hang back like a shy little kid
You'll be surprised if you did what you did
If you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong (a bing bang bong) a bing, bang, bong

Be like Christopher Colombo, take a chance, take a chance
Don't be a doppy or a gombo, going round, in a trance

One step, two step, step into a new step
Live your life with a zip and a zing
You'll have the world on the end of a string
if you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong ( a bing, bang, bong) a bing, bang, bong

Prego, prego, anywhere you may go
make each day be a day full of fun
if there's a game or a girl to be one
do it with a bing, bang, bong (a bing bang bong)a bing, bang, bong

Be like Christopher Colombo, take a chance, take a chance
Don't be a doppy or a gombo, going round, in a trance

One step, two step, step into a new step
Live your life with a zip and a zing
You'll have the world on the end of a string
if you'll do it with a bing, bang, bong, a bing, bang, bong

A Bing, Bang, Bong!

O Casamento Dos Pequeno Burgueses

O Casamento Dos Pequeno Burgueses
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ele faz o noivo correto
E ela faz que quase desmaia
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que a casa caia
Até que a casa caia

Ele é o empregado discreto
Ela engoma o seu colarinho
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até explodir o ninho
Até explodir o ninho

Ele faz o macho irrequito
E ela faz crianças de monte
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até secar a fonte
Até secar a fonte

Ele é o funcionário completo
E ela aprende a fazer suspiros
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até trocarem tiros
Até trocarem tiros

Ele tem um caso secreto
Ela diz que não sai dos trilhos
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até casarem os filhos
Até casarem os filhos

Ele fala de cianureto
E ela sonha com formicida
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que alguém decida
Até que alguém decida

Ele tem um velho projeto
Ela tem um monte de estrias
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até o fim dos dias
Até o fim dos dias

Ele às vezes cede um afeto
Ela só se despe no escuro
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até um breve futuro
Até um breve futuro

Ela esquenta a papa do neto
E ele quase que fez fortuna
Vão viver sob o mesmo teto
Até que a morte os una
Até que a morte os una

O Carole


O Carole ((Adapted from: Carol (Chuck Berry) - 1958)) Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Manou Roblin Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1964 Versions In Other Languages: 1977 - Oh Dearne (Normaal) 1977 - Karola Petersen (Torfrock)


O Carole
Ne me regarde pas comme ça
Ce soir si je suis là
C'est pour te dire
Qu'il ne viendra pas
Ça ne vaut pas la peine de pleurer pour ça
Tu le remplaceras
D'ici huit jours, tu l'oublieras
Maintenant dans tes yeux
Toute la joie s'est envolée
Sèche tes larmes, oublie tout ça
Avec moi, viens danser
Et quand il saura que tu t'es consolée dans mes bras
Ce jour-là, peut-être, il reviendra vers toi
O Carole
Ne me regarde pas comme ça
Ce soir si je suis là
C'est parc'que tu es tout pour moi
O Carole
Tu danses dans mes bras mais tu es loin de moi
Ouais, tu penses à celui qui ne viendra pas
Mais je crois bien que c'est lui que j'aperçois là-bas
Il vient tout droit vers toi, tu lui souris déjà
Il est trop tard pour moi, c'est bien fini
Et oui, déjà, on dirait qu'il a changé d'avis
O Carole
Ne me regarde comme ça
Il y a trop de joie dans tes yeux
C'est bien fini pour moi
O Carole
Ne me regarde comme ça
Il y a trop de joie dans tes yeux
C'est bien fini pour moi

O' Captain, My Captain

O' Captain, My Captain
From "American Song"
Composer(s): John Leavitt; Walt Whitman
Performer(s): David Broza



O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done
The ship has weathered every rack
the prize we sought is won

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red
Where on the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells
Rise up -- for you the flag is flung -- for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths -- for you the shores accrowding
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread
Walk the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead

It Isn't Fair


It Isn't Fair
Composer(s): Richard Himber; Sylvester Sprigato; Frank Warshauer
Performer(s): Rita Smith
and multiple other artists



It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day

It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, Dear

Why is it you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today

My Darling, it isn't fair

Cantador


Cantador
((Adapted from: Like A Lover (by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66) - 1968))
Composer(s): Dorival Caymmi - Nelson Motta
Performer(s): Patti Cathcart & Tuck Andress - 1989



Amanhece, preciso ir
Meu caminho é sem volta e sem ninguém
Eu vou prá onde a estrada levar
Cantador só sei cantar
Ah! eu canto a dor
Canto a vida e a morte, canto o amor
Cantador não escolhe o seu cantar
Canta o mundo que vê
E pro mundo que vi meu canto é dor
Mas é forte prá espantar a morte
Prá todos ouvirem minha voz
Mesmo longe
De que servem meu canto e eu
Se em meu peito há um amor que não morreu
Ah! se eu soubesse ao menos chorar
Cantador só sei cantar
Ah! Eu canto a dor
De uma vida perdida sem amor

Bangers And Mash Composer(s): David Lee - Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren



Him: I met her down in Napoli and didn't she look great?
And so I brought her back to Blighty just to show me mates
And though we're married happily I'll tell you furthermore
I haven't had a decent meal since 1944

Her: Eat your minestrone, Joe
Him: That's all you ever say
Her: Eat your macaroni, Joe
Him: Ever blinking day
Her: No wonder you're so bony, Joe, and skinny as a rake
Him: Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me mother used to make

Him: Bangers and mash
Her: Macaroni
Him: Give us a bash at the bangers and mash me mother used to make

Her: Eat your vermicelli, Joe
Him: It's coming out me ears!
Her: You've got to fill your belly, Joe, Joe for heaven's sake!
Him: Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me mother used to make

Her: Well alright!
Him: Bangers and mash
Her: Tagliatelle
Him: Bangers and mash

Him: Give us a bash at the bangers and mash me mother used to make

Reporter: 1943: Allied forces land in Italy
Him: There's a smashing-looking bird over there, Bert
I think she's showing out there
Bert: [Camp] Well why don't you chat her up, then?
Him: Right
Bon-giorno, sig-noreena there
Here, are you married?
Her: Drop-a dead-a
Him: There you are, you can't have a fairer answer than that, can you?

Her: I met him back in Italy, so dashing and good-looking
He wined me and he dined me every night
He said I smiled so prettily and how he loved my cooking
But since he's married me it seems he's lost his appetite

Him: Eat-a your tagliatelle, Soph
Her: That's all you ever say
Him: Eat-a your vermicelli, Soph
Her: Ooh! Every blooming day
Him: You've-a got to fill your belly, Soph, Soph for heaven's sake!
Her: Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash your mother used to make

Him: Bangers and-a mash
Her: Minestrone
Him: Bangers and-a mash
Her: Macaroni
Him: Give me a bash with the banger and the mash like the same one that your mother was — what are you laughing at now?
Now, this is miserable, please!

Her: Joe?
Him: Yes?
Her: Why don't you belt up, or I'll give you a punch up the throat!
Him: Now she's-a tells me
Ha! Mamma mia!

(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away

(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away
Performer(s): Andy Gibb



Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
But lately you don't talk to me
Darling I can't see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you're so far away
And it's losing you I can't believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I'm here without your love
You know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all

Don't throw it all away, our love, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love

(break)

We can take the darkness and make if full of light
But let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on
No other women's love could be as true, I'm begging you

We changed the world we made it ours to hold
But dreams are made for those who really try
This losing you is real
But I still feel you here inside

It Is Obvious


It Is Obvious
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
Performer(s): Syd Barrett



It is obvious, may I say oh baby
That it is found on another plane
Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall
Your stars, my stars, a simple cock bars
Only an impulse -- pie in the sky

Mumma listen dolly drift over your mind holly
Creep into bed when your head's on the ground
She held the torch on the porch and she winked an eye

The reason it is written on the brambles
Stranded on the spikes, my blood red, oh listen
Remember those times I could call through the clear day time
and you'd be there?
And braver and braver, a handkerchief waver

Growing together, the good of each other
Wandering, stumbling, fumbling, rumbling
Minds shot together, our minds shot together

So equally over a valley, a hill wood,
on quarry stood each of us crying
A velvet curtain of gray
marked the blanket where sparrows play
And the trees by the waving corn, stranded
My legs moved the last empty inches to you
The softness, the warmth and the weather in suspense
Mog to a grog, the scar of white chalk
Minds shot together, our minds shot together

(Open Up The Door) Let The Good Times In

(Open Up The Door) Let The Good Times In
Composer(s): Mitch Torok; Ramona Redd
Performer(s): Dean Martin



I woke up this mornin'
Toes out of my shoes
Cold north wind's ahowlin'
Bringin' me the blues
I said, "blues, good mornin'
I don't wanna fight
'Scuse me while I have a smoke
If I can find a light"
Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let nothin' stand in your way
Just open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today

I went to that cupboard
Found the cupboard bare
What happened to that sip of wine
I had hidden there
Over in the corner
A little mouse laid on its side
He was wearin' such a grin
I thought the mouse had died
Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let nothin' stand in your way
Just open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today

I went called my baby
When she got to the phone
I kinda had a little feelin'
My baby was not alone
She said, "daddy, I'm busy
Call some other time"
I don't need that woman, but I sure could use the dime
Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let nothin' stand in your way
Just open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today

(Oh Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave) Wyoming

(Oh Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave) Wyoming
Composer(s): Morey Amsterdam
Performer(s):
Dick Jurgens & His Orch.; Jerry Colonna



Oh! Give me back my prairie
with the cattle and wild game

Where the hills are nice and curvy and the women are the same
Where cowboys all yell "Whoopee!" while a lariat they twirl
And the timber wolves yell "Timber!" when they see a pretty girl

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low ....

Back home in old Wyomin' folks are actin' mighty strange
Since they started social climbin' how they've changed the good old range
Our farm is now a dude ranch and there's carpet on the trails
The cowboys wear tuxedos and the horses all wear tails, Ooooh

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low ....

My Uncle Max in Cheyenne he's honest as the sun
He worked six years in a bathhouse and he never took a one
The sheriff fin'lly got him and no more will Uncle roam
They caught him workin' in a bank and takin' samples home

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why did I ever have to go?
Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
`Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low and high and low!

----------


As recorded by Jerry Colonna:



Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there is someone back there lookin' for me high and low and ....

Oooooh, give me back my prarie and my cattle and wild game
Where the hills are nice and curvy and the women are the same
Where skies are always bluer and the cowboys sound so sad
Where men are punchin' cattle and Mother's punchin' Dad

Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there is someone back there looking for me high and low and
high and low and ....

I used to live in Cheyenne, that's a lovely place to see
To ride along the rollin' plains just east of Laramie
The sheriff almost caught me and that's why I have to roam
He saw me workin' in a bank and takin' samples home

Oh why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
'Cause there's a sheriff back there lookin' for me high and low and
high and low

It Is No Secret


It Is No Secret
Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen
First recording/First release by: Stuart Hamblen - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists



The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may go

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide

It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

No Night So Long


No Night So Long
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Richard Kerr
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances
One too many dances down the narrow street of time
Remember how we faced the world, like two tramps shining
Please, don't let that magic ever end
Don't forget what we learned living on the wind

No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I still can show you who you are

That day the long and dusty road had us both crying
We used up our last joke just to try to smile a again
And only now I find I know what we were learning
Though it's dark and you have traveled far
Ev'ry long night gives you one bright shining star

No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I can still show you who you are

Deep in the night you know that you'll find
Deep in the night you know that you'll find the way
No night so long that you can't find the day
no day so wrong that you can't find your way
Call on me like you used to do
I still can show you who you are
No night so long that you can't find the day
No day so wrong that you can't find your way
