Miracle Of Love


Miracle Of Love
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Eileen Rodgers



A whippoorwill awakens
And she tells the golden morn
That while the world was sleeping
Some new whippoorwills were born
Showing the lark and the dove
Another miracle of love
A bee begins a buzzin'
Makin' honey out of dew
And roses by the dozen
Bloom where flowers never grew
Warmed by the sun from above
Another miracle of love
Yes, I believe in miracles
That miracles come true
Dear, I believe in miracles
Just look at me and you
Two strangers in the morning
Then two friends this afternoon
Now strangers in the morning
Are two sweethearts 'neath the moon
Close as a hand in a glove
Another miracle of love

Ouverts Ou Fermés


Ouverts Ou Fermés
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Orchs
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient que toi
vide ou occupée ma tête ne pense qu'à toi

à vivre prisonnier mon cœur n'aime que toi
seule à en pleurer car je ne veux que toi

ouverts ou fermés tes yeux ne me voient pas
vide plus qu'occupée ta tête ne pense pas
insouciant, léger ton cœur s'en vient, s'en va
trop sollicité qu'as-tu à faire de moi?

et qu'ai-je à faire de tout si c'est pour moi
tout ça et qu'ai-je fait de tout si ce n'est pas pour nous?

tu dois t'en douter mais au fond, tu t'en fous
ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient partout
qu'à vivre prisonnier mon cœur devenu fou
cherche sans trouver quelqu'un qui te ressemble

Mira Que Eres Canalla


Mira Que Eres Canalla
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; Ismael Serrano



"Mira que eres canalla
éso no se hace a quien te quiere bien
colegas tanto tiempo
y ahora te fugas con esa mujer
que soy el Tony, tronco
a mí no me vas a enrollar
no hay nada como piltra en soledad
Juro que no te creo
te estás quedando conmigo, ¿verdad?
¿qué te has enamorado?
si éso no le pasa ni a un colegial
mira que son muy raras, que para
ellas el amor es lo que hizo Dalila con Sansón
No te lo pienses dos veces
haz lo que te pida el alma
puede que cambie tu suerte
mira que eres canalla
La taquicardia, el miedo
cuántos momentos de pasarlo mal
fue una carnicería
aquella guerra por la libertad
Qué quieres que digamos, Charlie ni te quiere ver
sólo me ha dicho que te folle un pez
Después de todo aquello
de estar entre la espada y la pared
cómo olvidar de pronto
aquellos años en Carabanchel...
Cómo has caído, Luis, si tú eres un sentimental
Serán los malos rollos de la edad
No te lo pienses dos veces...
Seguro que tu Elisa
Es oro puro, macizo y legal
molan sus ojos verdes
no es cachondeo que son como el mar
Lo que sucede es que aunque tenga
un jopo a lo Mae West
no es fácil que sigamos siendo tres
Tu sabrás lo que haces
Yo ahora me voy con Charlie al Alphaville
que reponen "la huída"
la de Sam Peckinpah con Steve McQueen
Probablemente luego iremos, a eso de las 10
A ver al Aute que hay nuevo Lp"
No te lo pienses dos veces...

Outside Woman Blues


Outside Woman Blues
Composer(s): Blind Joe Reynolds
Performer(s): Cream;
and various other artists



If you lose your money, great God, don't lose your mind
If you lose your money, great God, don't lose your mind
And if you lose your woman, please don't fool with mine

I'm gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my lady whilst I sleep
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my lady whilst I sleep
'Cause women these days, they're so doggone crooked
That they might make off 'fore day creep

Well, you can't watch your wife and your outside women, too
You know you can't watch your wife and your outside womens, too
Cause when you're out with your women, your wife will be at home
Cooking your food, doing a dirt, buddy what you trying to do?

You can't watch your wife and your outside womens, too
You know you can't watch your wife and your outside women, too
When you're out with your women, your wife will be at home
Doing a dirt, cooking your food, buddy what you trying to do?

Mio Commovente Amor


Mio Commovente Amor
English & French Titles:
Quiet Love; Mon Émouvant Amour
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Bob Raggio
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Tu vivi nel silenzio, della tua realta'
Io guardo gli occhi tuoi, traduco i tuoi sorrisi
Interpretando piano, mille discorsi accesi
Col tuo linguaggio strano, balletto di una mano

Un ballo commovente, che regoli per me
Gesti affascinanti, che sembrano ricami
Poi quando con le punte scandisci che mi ami
Capisco che mi piace vedere la tua voce

Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio commovente amor
Meraviglioso amor, mio lacerante amor

Per dialogare c'e', qualcosa che non va'
Io stesso insieme a te, mi sento uno straniero
Con l'aggravante che, non c'e' vocabolario
Che in tre lezioni insegni, la lingua dei tuoi segni

Tu ridi un po' di me, mi sforzo ma chissa'
Maldestro dove sono, le gaffe son cosa mia
Non sono stato mai, forte in ortografia
Ma ho fretta che parliamo, per dirti che ti amo

Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio commovente amor
Meraviglioso amor, mio lacerante amor

Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio amor
Mio amor, mio commovente amor
Meraviglioso amor, mio lacerante amor

Outside Of Heaven


Outside Of Heaven
Composer(s): Chester Conn; Sammy Gallop
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher; Vera Lynn



I pass your house with misty eyes
There stands the gate to paradise
But you don't hear the heart that cries
Outside of heaven

You're happy there with someone new
Good luck to him, good luck to you
I count the dreams that won't come true
Outside of heaven

On your wedding day I stood in the crowd
I could hardly keep from crying out loud
There goes the kiss my lips have known
There goes the love I called my own
Why was I meant to walk alone
Outside of heaven

(Outside of heaven)

(Outside of heaven)

On your wedding day I stood in the crowd
I could hardly keep from crying out loud
There goes the kiss my lips have known
There goes the love I called my own
Why was I meant to walk alone
Outside of heaven

Minuit Minuit


Minuit Minuit
Composer(s): Michel Jones; Gabriel Yared
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Minuit minuit faut qu'j'me sauve
Qui peut
Oh la la sauve
Qui peut m'raccompagner
Vous les barbus vous les chauves
Qui peut
Oh la la chauves
Qui peut
Qui veut

Pitié pitié
J'rent'e chez moi
Pauvre petite fille
Au s'cours à moi
République bastille
Ram'nez-moi
J'rent'e chez moi
C'est tout droit
J'rent'e chez moi
L'autobus me grise
Oui mais là
C'est la grève surprise
Help à moi
C'est tout droit
J'rent'e chez moi
Oh la la
Minuit minuit qui s'décide
Personne
Besoin que d'une
Personne ne veut m'aider
C'est un douzième coup d'acide
Qui sonne
Brûlure d'acide
Qui peut
Qui veut
Qui qui veut
Qui qui peut

{mélanger aux phrases de Françoise:}
Une seule place dans une seule voiture
J'suis pas si grande que ça je l'jure
Je n'réclame ni baiser d'adieu
Ni dernier verre vertigineux

Pitié pitié
Plus
J'rent'e chez moi
République bastille
C'est loin c'est froid
Pour une petite fille
Ram'nez-moi
J'rent'e chez moi
C'est tout droit
Oh la la

Outside Chance


Outside Chance
Composer(s): Glenn Crocker; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): The Turtles



You can try to please me
But it won't be easy
Stone walls surround me
I'm surprised that you even found me

And you don't stand an outside chance
(you don't stand an outside chance)
You don't stand an outside chance
But you can try

Whatever you do girl
You know you can't get through girl
Can't bring me down
Hang me up or even hang around

And you don't stand an outside chance
(you don't stand an outside chance)
You don't stand an outside chance
But you can try

I know you think you'll get me
I'm only flesh and bone
But you may as well forget me
'Cause my heart is stone

You better leave me alone

You can try to please me
But it won't be easy
Stone walls surround me
I'm surprised that you even found me

And you don't stand an outside chance
(you don't stand an outside chance)
You don't stand an outside chance
But you can try

Stand an outside chance

Mintiéndome Olvidarte


Mintiéndome Olvidarte
Composer(s): Roberto Livi; Bebu Silvetti
Performer(s): Raphael



Me quiero enamorar
Poder volver a amar
Dejar que me domine una pasión
Mis labios ofrecer
Y un sí dejar correr
Hacer lo que me diga la razón
Sentir bajo mi piel
Que sigo siendo aquel
Que puedo seducir como el mejor
Vestuario preparar
Salir a conquistar
Volver a ser don Juan en el amor
Y siempre que lo intento es un fracaso más
No hay forma de arrancarte del lugar que estás
Yo sigo siendo aquel, que sufre de dolor
Aquel que está muriendo por tu amor
Y aquí me ves amor
Tratando de arrancarte de mi corazón
Haciendo lo imposible por sobrevivir
Luchando para no pensar en ti
Y aquí me ves amor
Mintiéndome olvidarte para no sufrir
Un lado de mi cuerpo que me dice no
Y el otro que me esta gritando sí
Me quiero enamorar
De nuevo despertar
Sintiendo que a mi lado está el amor
Volver a ser feliz
Haciendo cicatriz
La herida que tu ausencia me dejó

Outra Vez


Outra Vez
Composer(s): Isolda
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos;
and various other artists



Você foi o maior dos meus casos
De todos os abraços o que eu nunca esqueci
Você foi dos amores que eu tive
O mais complicado e o mais simples pra mim
Você foi o melhor dos meus erros
A mais estranha história que alguém já escreveu
E é por essas e outras que a minha saudade
Faz lembrar de tudo outra vez

Você foi a mentira sincera
Brincadeira mais séria que me aconteceu
Você foi o caso mais antigo
O amor mais amigo que me apareceu
Das lembranças que eu trago na vida
Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter
Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim
Outra vez

Esqueci de tentar te esquecer
Resolvi te querer por querer
Decidi te lembrar quantas vezes eu tenha vontade
Sem nada perder

Você foi toda felicidade
Você foi a maldade que só me fez bem
Você foi o melhor dos meus planos
E o maior dos enganos que eu pude fazer
Das lembranças que eu trago na vida
Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter
Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim
Outra vez

On My Own (Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald)


On My Own Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager First release by: Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists



So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
On my own
On my own
On my own

So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

So many times
I know I should have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my own

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself by myself
I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my own

Mintiendo Y Riendo


Mintiendo Y Riendo
Performer(s): Raphael



La vida no me tomó nunca en serio
Yo por eso me sonrío sin cesar
Y debe ser de sabios mi criterio
Pues todos me lo quieren ya copiar
Sobre todo en amor me resulta mejor
Reír, reírme siempre que poder llorar
Mentir también me gusta a cada paso
Y miento con tan rara perfección
Que no tuve hasta ahora ni un fracaso
Pues es un novelón mi corazón
Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida
Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida
Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida
Que alcanzas la flor del amor
Sonriendo pude alejar la tristeza de ti
Y mintiendo pude besar tus labios
Desde el día en que te conocí
Te sonreí y te mentí
Decir una mentira con talento, sí
Y más de una diablura es un placer
Yo pongo tanta verdad cuando las cuento
Que a veces me las llego hasta creer
El saber engañar, es preciso estudiar
Si quieres en el juego del amor ganar
Lo malo es que mintiendo tan deprisa, sí
Un día yo me llegue a enamorar
Y pierda para siempre mi sonrisa
Y entonces no lo quiero ni pensar
Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida
Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida
Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida
Que alcanzas la flor del amor
Mentir es mejor

Outra Noite


Outra Noite
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;



Outra noite
Outro sono
Como se eu sonhasse o sonho
De outro dono
Outro fumo, uma outra cinza
Outra manhã

Mordo a fruta
Outro é o sumo
Ando pela mesma casa
Com outro prumo
Outra sombra, outono
Chuva temporã

Será que já não vi
De modo impessoal
E em tempo diferente
Um dia estranhamente igual
Dias iguais
- Avareza de Deus
Passando indiferentes
Por estranhos olhos meus

Outros olhos
No teu rosto
Vou falar teu nome
E já teu nome é outro
Outra bruma
Sombra de outro sonho, alguém
Na manhã de junho
Outono, outubro, além

Minstrel's Song


Minstrel's Song
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Words a simple song
A minstrel sings
A way of life in his eyes
Hear the morning call of waking birds
When they are singing, bringing
Love - love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Now the winter's gone
Cold wind has blown
The endless stream in our lives
Where the minstrel sings
This simple song
He's always bringing, singing
Love - love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Listen to the one
Who sings of love
Follow our friend
Our wandering friend
Listen to the one
Who sings of love
Everywhere love is around
Around, around

Here the nations sing
Our minstrel's song
As he walks by in their lives
Soon the spring will come
And everyone will all be singing, bringing
Love - love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Listen to the one
Who sings of love
Follow our friend
Our wandering friend
Listen to the one
Who sings of love
Everywhere love is around
Around, around

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
