O, Fair New Mexico

O, Fair New Mexico
Composer(s): Elizabeth Garrett



Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow
Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico
Land of the Montezuma, with firey hearts aglow
Land of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico

Chorus:

Oh! Fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so
Our hearts with pride o're flow
No matter where we go
Oh! Fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so
The grandest state we know NEW MEXICO!

It Started With A Kiss


It Started With A Kiss
(Danish Version: Started' Med Et Kys - 1984)
Composer(s): Errol Brown
First release by: Hot Chocolate - 1982



It started with a kiss in the back row of a classroom
How could I resist the aroma of your perfume
You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight
You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my wife
But then you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine

It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this

I remember ev'ry little thing like fighting in the playground
As some good looking boy had started to hang around
That boy hurt me so bad, but I was happy 'cause you cried - still
I couldn't help but notice that new distant look in your eyes
And then when you were sixteen and I had just turned seventeen
I couldn't hold on to your love, I couldn't hold on to my dreams

It started with a kiss, never thought is would come to this
It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this
You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you?

Walking down the street came the star of my love story
And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory
I heard my voice cry out her name and as she looked and looked away
I felt so hurt, I felt so small, and it was all that I could say
You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you?
You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you?

It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this

O What A Savior

O What A Savior
Composer(s): Marvin P. Dalton
Performer(s): The Cathedrals; Brian Free



Once I was straying in sin’s dark valley
No hope within could I see
They searched through Heaven
And found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me

Chorus
O what a Savior, O hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me

Death’s chilly water I’ll soon be crossing
His hand will lead me safe o're
I’ll join the chorus in that great city
And sing up there for evermore

Chorus
O what a Savior, O hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me

It Sparkles!


It Sparkles!
Composer(s): Stephen Duffy
Performer(s): Stephen Duffy



And she sparkles her surprise
The marvels of the milky way
Are but a candle to her
I kissed but she did not kiss back
Temptations of the saints
And though the leaves are falling fast
She still thinks she ain't
And she's going to blow my mind
This time
So we set out for the sun
A generation on the run
The ones who hid by moving trains
Pretending destinations
Now fighting everyone she knows
And some imaginary foes
My campus bride for whom truth slips
Beyond her finger tips
And she's going to blow my mind
This time
I've been sitting on the corner of my street
waiting for her waiting for her
And I don't know if she sparkles when she speaks
If I could love her any more
I won't deny that we had fun
More than I can say for some
With just so many years to live
In which nothing gives
Two courting birds wheeled away
Against the opalescent grey
My campus bride and I just sit
Certain this is it
And she's going to blow my mind
This time
And she's going to blow her mind
If she can find the time
And she's going to blow my mind
This time

O Vinho

O Vinho
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Fausto Nilo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando você chegar
Veja o tempo passando
Pelas Flores do Mal
Só o tempo não vê
Que eu estou esquecido
Esperando você

A noite já passou
E eu detesto revelar que andei sofrendo
Mas há um resto de saudade em seu olhar
E uma promessa de prazeres ciumentos
Meu amor

Não devemos tentar
Enganar o amor
Nem duvidar do vinho
Uma frase vulgar
Pode surpreender
Num imenso carinho

Pra que dizer que não
Verdades são banais e mesmo assim
Por caprichos vãos Mentiras levarão você de mim

Perdidos na escuridão
Seus olhos na minha saudade
Seu vestido está em minha mãos
Sua voz por toda a cidade
Nessas canções que eu faço
Permanece o meu destino
De adormecer em seus braços
E sonhar como um menino

Quero só pensar em ti
Em seu colo adormecer
E acordar com mais vontade de viver

It Should Have Been Me


It Should Have Been Me
Composer(s): William "Mickey" Stevenson; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips



I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, "you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I shouted, "It should have been me"
You know that it should have been me
Don't you know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving me stranded

O Velho Francisco

O Velho Francisco
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Já gozei de boa vida
Tinha até meu bangalô
Cobertor, comida
Roupa lavada
Vida veio e me levou

Fui eu mesmo alforriado
Pela mão do Imperador
Tive terra, arado
Cavalo e brida
Vida veio e me levou

Hoje é dia de vista
Vem aí meu grande amor
Ela vem toda de brinco
Vem todo domingo
Tem cheiro de flor

Quem me vê, vê nem bagaço
Do que viu quem me enfrentou
Campeão do mundo
Em queda de braço
Vida veio e me levou

Li jornal, bula e prefácio
Que aprendi sem professor
Freqüentei palácio
Sem fazer feio
Vida veio e me levou

Hoje é dia de vista
Vem aí meu grande amor
Ela vem toda de brinco
Vem todo domingo
Tem cheiro de flor

Eu gerei dezoito filhas
Me tornei navegador
Vice-rei das ilhas
Da Caraíba
Vida veio e me levou

Fechei negócio da China
Desbravei o interior
Possuí mina
De prata, jazida
Vida veio e me levou

Hoje é dia de visista
Vem aí meu grande amor
Hoje não deram almoço, né
Acho que o moço até
Nem me lavou

Acho que fui deputado
Acho que tudo acabou
Quase que
Já não me lembro de nada
Vida veio e me levou

It Seems Like Ages And Ages And You've Only Been Gone A Day


It Seems Like Ages And Ages And You've Only Been Gone A Day
Composer(s): Kendis; Brockman



Your voice I hear, you seem so near
Still you are far, far away
Time drags along
Everything's wrong
As broken hearted I stray

You'll always rest, close to my breast
Echoed of love seem to sigh
Time can't erase
Your smiling face
I keep on wondering why

It seems like ages and ages
And you've only been gone a day
The night shadows fall
With tears I recall
True love in a shack, how I wish you were back
The long and weary hours
Just wear my heart away
It seems like ages and ages
And you've only been gone a day

O Velho

O Velho
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



O velho sem conselhos
De joelhos
De partida
Carrega com certeza
Todo o peso
Da sua vida
Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor
A vida iteira, diz que se guardou
Do carnaval, da brincadeira
Que ele não brincou
Me diga agora
O que é que eu digo ao povo
O que é que tem de novo
Pra deixar
Nada
Só a caminhada
Longa, pra nenhum lugar

O velho de partida
Deixa a vida
Sem saudades
Sem dívida, sem saldo
Sem rival
Ou amizade
Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor
Ele me diz que sempre se escondeu
Não se comprometeu
Nem nunca se entregou
E diga agora
O que é que eu digo ao povo
O que é que tem de novo
Pra deixar
Nada
E eu vejo a triste estrada
Onde um dia eu vou parar

O velho vai-se agora
Vai-se embora
Sem bagagem
Não sabe pra que veio
Foi passeio
Foi passagem
Então eu lhe pergunto pelo amor
Ele me é franco
Mostra um verso manco
De um caderno em branco
Que já fechou
Me diga agora
O que é que eu digo ao povo
O que é que tem de novo
Pra deixar
Não
Foi tudo escrito em vão
E eu lhe peço perdão
Mas não vou lastimar

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time


It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): Mike Batt



Don't ask me why I did it
It seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it
I must have been lonely stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time

It was 3 a.m. in the casino
I was feeling like the Sportsman of the Year
So I blew a little money on the roulette wheel
And I taught myself to play Chemin de fer

Don't ask me why I did it
It seemed like a good idea at the time
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away
Don't ask me why I did it
I must have been lonely stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time

As the dawn came round on Monte Carlo
I had lost the car and safe deposit key
The country house in Switzerland was mine no more
And the gendarme at the door said "c'est la vie!"

Don't ask me why I did it
I must have been lonely stupid or blind
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time

Ô Toi! La Vie

Ô Toi! La Vie
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Ô toi! la vie
Que je porte en souffrant
Comme on porte un enfant
Donne-moi l'amour et l'argent
Ma vie
Aux voies impénétrables
Fais que de grain de sable
Je deviens géant

Ô toi! la vie
Dont je ne connais rien
Qui fuit entre mes mains
J'appréhende tes lendemains
Ma vie
J'ai peur de ta jeunesse
Un matin disparaisse
Me laissant sur ma faim
Tu sais la vie
Je ne t'ai pas cherchée
C'est toi qui t'es donnée
Comme une fille en mal d'aimer
Je peux depuis
Me vautrer dans tes bras
Faire un feu de tes joies
Et l'amour avec toi

La vie
Pour te serrer très fort
Et réchauffer mon corps
Et te garder longtemps encore
Je suis
Un enfant de la terre
Un passant solitaire
Aux mains tendues vers toi
Ne m'abandonne pas
Tu sais, je crois en toi
En toi
La vie

It Only Took A Minute


It Only Took A Minute
Composer(s): Hal David; Mort Garson
Performer(s): Joe Brown



It took a hundred years to make that old tree grow
And there beside that tree, I learned to love you so
It took a hundred years of sunshine before that old tree grew
But it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you
It didn’t take a lifetime to make my dreams come true
No – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

It took a million stars to make that starlight shine
And underneath those stars one night I made you mine
It took a million stars a-twinkling to light that sky of blue
But it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

Didn’t take a lifetime to make my dreams come true
No – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you
Yeah – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

Once an hour of the day
We threw at least fun away

To fall in love, let's fall in love

And you haven't accomplished a thing (Haven't accomplished a thing)

Will you wanna fry yourself an egg (Fall in love)
Now you spare a few second, girl (Fall in love)
When you se, when you see a man beg (Fall in love)
Now he takes on time (Fall in love)
To go down to the corner store (Fall in love)

O Show Já Terminou

O Show Já Terminou
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



O show já terminou
Vamos voltar à realidade
Não precisamos mais
Usar aquela maquiagem
Que escondeu de nós
Uma verdade que insistimos em não ver

Não adianta mais
Chorar o amor que já tivemos
Existe em nosso olhar
Alguma coisa que não vemos
E nas palavras
Existe sempre alguma coisa sem dizer

E é bem melhor que seja assim
Você sabe tanto quanto eu
No nosso caso
Felicidade começa num adeus

Me abrace sem chorar
Sem lenço branco na partida
Eu também vou tentar
Sorrir em nossa despedida

Não fale agora
Não há mais nada
O nosso show já terminou

It Only Hurts When I Cry


It Only Hurts When I Cry
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Roger Miller
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Joey Welz



The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

You couldn't tell it by this smile
But my recovery took a while
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky I'm alive

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

I'll tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

Ô Seigneur Dieu

Ô Seigneur Dieu
Composer(s): S. Lama; Alice Dona
Performer(s): Dalida



Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Je suis comme un village envahi par les ronces
Il suffirait d'un rien pour qu'à tout je renonce
Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Mon cœur saigne je suis l'agneau parmi les fauves
Et pour mieux te trouver j'ai peint ma chambre en mauve
Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Mon âme s'est traînée plusieurs fois dans la fange
Sans un signe du ciel sans le secours d'un ange
Ô Seigneur Dieu, pour ça il faut me pardonner
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
J'ai faim, j'ai soif, j'ai froid, je n'ai plus de boussole
Et c'est à peine si les hommes me consolent
Ô Seigneur Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Un jour j'étais enfant j'étais dans ton église
J'ai cherché dans mon cœur une terre promise
Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
J'ai cru pendant longtemps à la bonté des hommes
Pendant longtemps, j'ai eu La méfiance des pommes
Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Pourquoi m'as-tu offert des guirlandes d'orties
Pourquoi m'as-tu fermé les portes de sortie
Ô Seigneur Dieu nous as-tu tous abandonné

Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Je ne suis pas curé et j'ai besoin des autres
Je ne suis pas ta fille mais j'ai besoin d'apôtre
Ô Seigneur Dieu pour ça il faut me pardonner
Ô Seigneur Dieu pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné
Nous sommes une armée dont tous les chefs sont lâches
Et tes évêques ne sont plus très bons à la tâche
Ô Seigneur Dieu doit-on toujours leur pardonner

Ô Seigneur Dieu
Pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné

It Only Hurts For A Little While


It Only Hurts For A Little While
Composer(s): Mack David; Fred Spielman
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers
and multiple other artists



It's all over town that we've parted
And everyone knows that we're through
They see me alone broken hearted
Crying the blues for you

It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
That's what they say
It only hurts for a little while
Then all your heartaches will pass away
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you
What can I do
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
Just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me

It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you
What can I do
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me
Just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me

Performer(s): Renato Carosone



Tene 'e capille ricce ricce
Ll'uocchie 'e brigante e 'o sole 'nfaccia
Ogne figliola s'appiccia si 'o vede 'e passa' ...
'Na sigaretta 'mmocca
'na mano dint' 'a sacca
E se ne va smargiasso pe' tutta a città ...
(rit) O sarracino, o sarracino
Bello guaglione!
O sarracino, o sarracino
Tutte 'e femmene fa suspira' ...
E' bello 'e faccia
È bello 'e core
Sape fa 'ammore!
E' malandrino
È tentatore
Si 'o guardate ve fa 'nnammurà
E na bionda s'avvelena
E na bruna se ne more ...
È veleno o calamita?
Chisto 'e femmene che ll' fa? ...
O sarracino, o sarracino
Bello guaglione!
E' bello 'e faccia
È bello 'e core
Tutte 'e femmene fa 'nnammura'!

(finale)
Ma 'na rossa, ll'ata sera
Cu nu vaso e cu na scusa
T'ha arrubbato anema e core ...
Sarracino, non si cchiù tu!
O sarracino, o sarracino
Bello guaglione!
O sarracino, o sarracino
Tutte 'e femmene fa 'nnammura'
Sarracino, sarracino ...

It Only Happens When I Dance With You


It Only Happens When I Dance With You
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to Heaven till the dance is through
With noone else do the heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear, only with you?
Two cheeks together can be so sublime
Especially when those cheeks are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with spring
When anything can happen, it only happens with you
