Motorcycle Mama


Motorcycle Mama
Composer(s): Johnny Wyker
Originally performed by: Sailcat



Tell your Daddy and your Mama too
You got something better to do
Stick around the house the rest of your life
Your eighteen you can do what you like
You'll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley

We'll get matching jackets and helmets too
We'll get respect from the towns we ride through
We'll sleep at the roadside in the soft green grass
and if the squares walk by we'll let them pass
You'll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley

And maybe in a year or two, we'll have a little one, she'll look just like you
We'll add on a sidecar, electric guitar
We'll be a trio, the baby makes three, oh

Tell your Daddy and your Mama too
You got something better to do
Stick around the house the rest of your life
Your eighteen you can be my wife
You'll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley
We'll see the world through my Harley
We'll see the world through my Harley if the chain don't break!

Give Birth To A Smile


Give Birth To A Smile
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters; Ron Geesin



Long live the child and the man
Long live the mother and the lad
The hills behind us and the sea
Reach out to welcome you and me
Valley deep and mountain tall
Lie upon the ground before us all
Strange are the colours of the turf
Heralding the rebirth of the earth
Gather all your energy and try
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
(Everytime you think about it)
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
(Hear me tellin' you)
Give birth to a smile
(Give birth to a smile)
Give birth to a smile
(Give birth, give birth)
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
(Every day of your life)
Give birth to a smile
(Give a little birth to a smile)
Give birth to a smile

Take Me Home, Country Roads


Take Me Home, Country Roads
Composer(s): John Denver - Mary Catherine Danoff - William Danoff
First release by: John Denver - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1975 - Faire Un Pont (Dick Rivers)
1975 - Ved Me Dál, Cesto Má (Pavel Bobek)



Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mom
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Moto Contínuo


Moto Contínuo
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Edú Lobo; Chico Buarque; Antonio Carlos Jobim



Um homem pode ir ao fundo do fundo do fundo se for por você
Um homem pode tapar os buracos do mundo se for por você
Pode inventar qualquer mundo, como um vagabundo se for por você
Basta sonhar com você
Juntar o suco dos sonhos e encher um açude se for por você
A fonte da juventude correndo nas bicas se for por você
Bocas passando saúde com beijos nas bocas se for por você
Homem também pode amar e abraçar e afagar seu ofício porque
Vai habitar o edifício que faz pra você
E no aconchego da pele na pele, da carne na carne, entender
Que homem foi feito direito, do jeito que é feito o prazer
Homem constrói sete usinas usando a energia que vem de você
Homem conduz a alegria que sai das turbinas de volta a você
E cria o moto-contínuo da noite pro dia se for por você
E quando um homem já está de partida, da curva da vida ele vê
Que o seu caminho não foi um caminho sozinho proque
Sabe que um homem vai fundo e vai fundo e vai fundo se for por você

Give All Your Love To Me


Give All Your Love To Me
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



Love me till the end of time
Till the seas run dry
Till the flowers forget to bloom
Till the sun don’t shine
While there’s people here on earth
While there’s stars above
All I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Till the moon has lost its glow
In the heavens above
All I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Give me all your love

Faire Un Pont


Faire Un Pont
((Adapted from: Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver) - 1971))
((Czech Version: Ved Me Dál, Cesto Má (Pavel Bobek) - 1975))
Composer(s): John Denver - Mary Catherine Danoff - William Danoff - Serge Koolenn
Performer(s): Dick Rivers - 1975



De ton visage à mon village
Y'a cette rivière qui coule toute l'année
Entre tes yeux et les miens qui pleurent
Y'a ce fleuve qui s'amuse à nous séparer

Faire un pont pour de bon, lui donner ton prénom
Le traverser pour t'embrasser, faire un pont pour de bon

J'ai essayé de naviguer, perdant ton cœur mais le tien chante si fort
Entre nous deux et le monde entier
Il n'y a qu'une rivière pour nous séparer

Faire un pont pour de bon, lui donner ton prénom
Le traverser pour t'embrasser, faire un pont

Faire un pont pour de bon, lui donner ton prénom
Le traverser pour t'embrasser, faire un pont pour de bon
Faire un pont pour de bon, lui donner ton prénom
Le traverser pour t'embrasser, faire un pont pour de bon
Faire un pont pour de bon, lui donner ton prénom
Le traverser pour t'embrasser, faire un pont

Moto 1


Moto 1
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Melchior
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Olhe-me III
Veja-me III
Não há novidade alguma nos meus olhos espantados
Olhe-me III
Veja-me III

Você que pensa que eu sou o fim do mundo

Eu preciso é disso mesmo
Que você diz que eu preciso
Uma cara mais alegre
E uma roupa colorida
Mais parecida com a vida

Que só muito amor consegue

A moto macia e leve
Pra cruzar a geografia
Da minha melancolia
Porque a vida
É mesmo breve

Give A Little Whistle


Give A Little Whistle
Composer(s): Leigh Harline; Ned Washington
Performer(s): Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards;
and various other artists



When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!

Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow
And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!"
Right!

Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
And always let your conscience be your guide

Take Me Home Tonight


Take Me Home Tonight
Composer(s): Michael Leeson - Peter Vale
Performer(s): Eddie Money; Every Avenue



I feel a hunger

It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer?
I shouldn't wonder when I feel you whet my appetite

With all the power you're releasing

It isn't safe to walk the city streets a
Anticipation is running through me

Let's find the key and turn this engine on

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster
Take me home tonight!
I don't want to let you go till you see the light!
Take me home tonight!
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang: Be my little baby!

I get frightened in all this darkness

I get nightmares
I hate to sleep alone
I need some company

A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold winds blow!

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster ...
Be my little baby!

Just like Ronnie sang
I say
just like Ronnie sang:
Be my little baby
baby
my darling!
I feel a hunger
it's a hunger!

Take me home tonight! ...
Take me home tonight! ...
Take me home tonight! ...

Motivo


Motivo
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Cecília Meireles
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu canto
Porque o instante existe
E a minha vida está completa
Não sou alegre nem sou triste
Sou poeta

Irmão das coisas fugidias
Não sinto gozo nem tormento
Atravesso noites e dias
No vento

Se desmorono ou se edifico
Se permaneço ou me desfaço
Não sei se fico
Ou passo

Eu sei que canto e a canção é tudo
Tem sangue eterno a asa ritimada
E um dia eu sei que estarei mudo
Mais nada

Give A Little Love


Give A Little Love
Composer(s): John Goodison; Phil Wainman
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers



It's a teenage dream, to be seventeen
And to find you're all wrapped up in love
And I've found that you, made a dream come true
Now I do believe in what they say

You've got to give a little love
Take a little love
Be prepared to forsake a little love
And when the sun comes shining through
We'll know what to do

Give a little love, take a little love
Be prepared to forsake a little love
And when the sun comes shining through
We'll know what to do

When I walk with you, there is just we two
And the world goes by but I just don't care
And I know that one day, I'll find a way
To be safe and sound within your heart
So until I do

I'm gonna give a little love
Take a little love
Be prepared to forsake a little love
And when the sun comes shining through
We'll know what to do

Give a little love, take a little love
Be prepared to forsake a little love
And when the sun comes shining through
We'll know what to do

Take Me Home (Joe Cocker & Bekka Bramlett)


Take Me Home
Composer(s): Steve Kipner - John Capek - Mark Jordan
Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Bekka Bramlett



Maybe we're standing on the threshold
With our eyes open wide
Let the river keep on flowing
We can reach the other side
Caught in this endless revolution
Under helicopter skies
To lose becomes unthinkable
And to win is the only road now

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side

All the men and all the women
Who sacrifice their love
Never taste what we took for granted
No they don't know love at all
Some of them broken some of them wounded
And so cynical from the pain
I was quiet as a grave yard
Till you heard me caling out your name

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side

Life was victorious
Now it can't be denied
We'll stand together
Cause love is on our side

There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side

Mothership Connection (Starchild)


Mothership Connection (Starchild)
Composer(s): George Clinton; Bootsy Collins; Bernie Worrell
Originally performed by: Parliament
Covered by various other artists



"Mothership Connection (Starchild)"
Well, all right!
Starchild, Citizens of the Universe, Recording Angels
We have returned to claim the Pyramids
Partying on the Mothership
I am the Mothership Connection
Gettin' down in 3-D
Light year groovin'
Well all right, if you hear any noise, it ain't nobody but me and the boys
Gettin' down
Hit it fellas!

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit me (groovin')
You gotta hit the band

All right, all right, Starchild here
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip
And come on up to the Mothership
Loose Booty, doin' the bump
Hustle on over here

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
Ain't nothing but a party, y'all
Face it, even your memory banks have forgotten this funk
Mothership Connection, home of the P.Funk, the Bomb
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hit me
You gotta hit the band
Doin' it in 3-D
Let me put on my sunglasses here so I can see what I'm doing
When you hear seats rumble you will hear your conscience grumble
Hit me
You gotta hit the band
You have overcome, for I am here

Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride

Doin' it up on the Chocolate Milky Way
What's up CC?
Have you forgot me?
Are you hip to Easter Island?
The Bermuda Triangle?
Heh heh!
Well, all right
Ain't nothing but a party!
Starchild here
Citizens of the Universe
I bring forth to you the Good Time
On the Mothership
Are you hip?
Sing, fellas!

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit me
You gotta hit the band
You gotta hit the band

Starchild here, doin' it in 3-D
So good, it's good to me
Hit the band!

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit me
You gotta hit the band

Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry you home!

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit me
You gotta hit the band
You gotta hit the band

I don't think they hear you!
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit me
You gotta hit the band

Starchild here, citizens of the universe
Gettin' it on, partying on the Mothership
When Gabriel's horn blows, you'd better be ready to go

Swing low
Time to move on
Light years in time
Ahead of our time
Free your mind, and come fly
With me
It's hip
On the Mothership
Groovin'

Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride
Stop, and let me ride

Give A Little


Give A Little
Composer(s): Bill Payne; Fran Payne
Performer(s): Nicolette Larson



Take a chance
What have you got to lose?
It's better than singing the blues
It's your share, waiting everywhere
I'm really trying to tell you the news

Give a little, care a lot
Try to use the love you've got
Someone's waiting over there
Waiting for someone to care

Won't you try
See what you can do
You see I'm talking to you
There's so much more
Why are you waiting?
It's about time
That you started to give

Give a little, care a lot
Try to use the love you've got
Someone's waiting over there
Waiting for someone to share their love

See what you're given
For once in a life don't be driven
To hide it away

Give a little, care a lot
Try to use the love you've got
Someone's waiting over there
Waiting for someone to care

Give a little, care a lot
Try to use the love you've got
Someone's waiting over there
Waiting for someone to care

Take Me Home (Jim Capaldi)


Take Me Home
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi - C. Thompson - A. Quinta
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



In an empty bed staring at the ceiling
You need someone to love, show you understanding
When you feel brokenhearted, looking for a way around it
In the middle of a broken dream, open your eyes, never look back
Happiness is something to be aiming at
When you feel brokenhearted, looking for a way around it
in the middle of a broken dream

Take me home, home to your heart
Home to your body babe
Take me in your arms, cover me up
Take me home we're never meant to be alone
How can I make you see, take a chance on me

There's no way out, nobody to turn to
All you need is someone to the rescue
When you feel brokenhearted
looking for a way around it
in the middle of a broken dream

Take me home, home to your heart
Home to your body babe
Take me in your arms, cover me up
Take me home we're never meant to be alone
How can I make you see, take a chance on me

Girl in this life we live
There's so much we can share
So much we can give

Take me home, home to your heart
Home to your body babe
Take me in your arms, cover me up
Take me home we're never meant to be alone
How can I make you see, take a chance on me

Take me home, home to your heart
Home to your body babe
Take me in your arms, cover me up
Take me home we're never meant to be alone
How can I make you see, take a chance on me

Mother's Not Dead, She's Only Sleeping


Mother's Not Dead, She's Only Sleeping
Composer(s): Charlie Monroe
Performer(s): Charlie Monroe;
Roy Acuff; Vernon Oxford



I Left my old home way back in the mountains
Mother was called to heaven that day
They carried my mother up to the graveyard
Ev'rything's lonesome since she went a-way

Chorus
Mother's Not Dead, she's only a-sleeping
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
The birds will be singing while mother lies sleeping
They will sing o'er her as the grave fades a-way

Nothing seems right around the old home place
Even the place where we used to play
I love my old home way back in the mountains
But ev'rything's changed since she went away

Chorus

Mother was good and now she's in heaven
She was the best pal a boy ever had
I still love my home way back in the mountains
But without you mother, a heart aches so sad

Chorus

Give A Fool A Chance


Give A Fool A Chance
Composer(s): Jerry Stevens
Performer(s): Alma Cogan



If I make you cry at times
If I tell a lie at times
It’s my first romance
Give a fool a chance
If your poor heart aches, my love
When I make mistakes, my love
Try to understand
Give a fool a hand

Now I don’t need to hurt you or break the heart that you gave
It’s just that love is new to me and I don’t know how to behave
But you can right what’s wrong with me
If you’ll string along with me.
Don’t end our romance
Give a fool a chance

It’s just that love is new to me and I don’t know how to behave
But you can right what’s wrong with me
If you’ll string along with me
Oh, don’t end our romance
Please give a fool a chance

Take Me For What I'm Worth


Take Me For What I'm Worth
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): The Searchers; Mike Pender; P.F. Sloan



Don't try and understand me, you never could do that
Ah, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt
I'm a man with too many problems that keep pounding on my brain

So if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

I don't pretend to be a saint, my sins they are many
But there's no-one perfect in this universe
And though you think I'm weird, don't try and change me dear

'cause if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Hear a howling wind outside my door, there's restlessness within
Oh, I'm like a raincloud that one day may burst
We both know I'll be leavin' and if one little tear you grieve

Ah, it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth
(it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth)

And if you think about me in your lonesome hours
Ah, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a curse
Ah, then I'll be comin' back one day when my wandering is over

Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Sie Kann Nimmermehr


Sie Kann Nimmermehr
English Title: Mother's Little Helper
Performer(s): Peter Schleicher
(Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones)



Ach, die Kinder san heut bös
sagt die Muter ganz nervös
Ich brauch dringend meine Ruah, i bin am End
Und sie bild' si des nur ein
doch sie find gar nix dabei
Nimmt a Pulver oder zwa
Die Befreiung, sie ist da
S'Leben ist schön seufzt sie entzückt
wie mir die Erzieuhng glückt

Ach, die Zeiten san heut bös
sagt die Mutter ganz nervös
Dieses Kochen bringt mi um und macht mi krank
Ich koch nur mehr Tiefkühlkost
damit die Kraft mich nicht verlasst
Nimmt a Pulver oder zwa
die Befreiung, sie ist da
S'Leben is schön seufzt sie entzückt
Das Menü ist mir geglückt

Ach, bitte sehr, i brauch noch mehr
und vor der Tür, da nimmt's gleich vier
S'Leben is schwer, sie kann nimmermehr

Ach, die Männer san so bös
sagt die Mutter ganz nervös
Und es stört sie, wenn ma müd is und k.o.
Niemals kriegn die Männer gnua
Doch sie holt sich ihre Ruah
nimmt a Pulver oder zwa
die Befreiung, sie ist da
S'Leben is schön seufzt sie entzückt
wenn ihr Mann sie nachts beglückt

Ach bitte sehr, ....

Ach das Leben is so bös
sagt die Mutter ganz nervös
Ich will glücklich sein, doch keiner sagt ma wie
Sie schluckt alles was sie hat
doch dann wird ihr sterbensmatt
und ka Pulverl is mehr da
und sie fühlt sich gar nicht froh
Jetzt is aus denkt sie
Oh Gott!
Und dann is die Mutter tot

Giustina


Giustina
French Title: Justine
Composer(s): Senlis; Auriat; Arnaldi
Performer(s): Dalida



Coi cesti sulle spalle
Passava ogni mattina
Piegata dalla vita
La povera Giustina

Coi cesti sulle spalle
Tornava a tarda sera
Silente e solitaria
Nella sua veste nera

Avevo sette anni
E mi sembrava anziana
Più vecchia dell'ulivo
Vicino alla fontana
Pero mia madre sempre
In fondo alla cucina

Gridava al suo passaggio
Saluti a voi Giustina

Sedeva li da sola
Davanti alla sua casa
E fino a tarda notte
La luce stava accesa

Nè figli nè nipoti
Soltanto un vecchio cane
Col quale divideva
I ceci oppure il pane

Avevo sedicianni
E la trovavo brutta
Come quei rami secchi
Che plù non dannofrutta
Pero mia madre sempre
In fondo alla cucina

Gridava al suo passaggio
Saluti a voi Ginstina

Un giorno per la via
Lei smise di passare
La sera le campane
Si misero a suonare

Lei era morta sola
A novantinni e un giorno
A quell'età si è soli
Anche coi figli intorno

Ed io che avrei compiuto
Trentanni a primavera
Senti la giovinezza
Partire quella sera
Non c'era più mia madre
In fondo alla cucina

E allora le gridai
Addio
Addio Giustina
