Cálice


Cálice Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Gilberto Gil Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
De vinho tinto de sangue

Como beber dessa bebida amarga
Tragar a dor, engolir a labuta
Mesmo calada a boca, resta o peito
Silêncio na cidade não se escuta
De que me vale ser filho da santa
Melhor seria ser filho da outra
Outra realidade menos morta
Tanta mentira, tanta força bruta

Como é difícil acordar calado
Se na calada da noite eu me dano
Quero lançar um grito desumano
Que é uma maneira de ser escutado
Ese silêncio todo me atordoa
Atordoado eu permaneço atento
Na arquibancada pra a qualquer momento
Ver emergir o monstro da lagoa

De muito gorda a proca já não anda
De muito suada a faca já não corta
Como é difícilo, pai, abrir a porta
Essa palavra presa na garganta
Esse pileque homérico no mundo
De que adianta ter boa vontgade
Mesmo calado o peito, resta a cuca
Dos bêbados do centro da cidade

Talvez o mundo não seja pequeno
Nem seja a vida um fato consumado
Quero inventar o meu próprio pecado
Quero morrer do meu próprio veneno
Quero perder de vez tua cabeça
Minha cabeça perder teu juízo
Quero cheirar fumaça de óleo diesel
Me embriagar até que alguém me esqueça

Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va la vie? Il y a des endroits
Elle vaut dix dollars combien je te dois
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps

Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
À un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Comment va la banque? La banque surnage
Pour les grands requins y a pas de naufrage
Comment va la mort? Record absolu
Toujours très discrète, je n'en sais pas plus
Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra

Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
A un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde?"
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers
Comment va l'amour quand il vous a vu?
A fait demi-tour, on n'en parle plus
Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde? "
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"

Après bien des années d'errance
De populations déplacées
La solitude n'a pas de nationalité
Il faudrait casser ce silence
Vous l'avez mal interprété
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers

That's What You Mean To Me


That's What You Mean To Me
Composer(s): George Graff Jr. - George H. Gartlan



I know that you love me, you know I love you
But you wonder, if days to be
Will find us the same, let me answer, dear
Do you know what you mean to me?

Every rose has it's fragrance
The skies have the stars
And the night has the day to be
The day has the sunshine, but I have you
And you're all that and more to me

All that the sunshine means to the rose
And blossoms mean to the tree
All that the spring time to the earth
And rivers mean to the sea
All that their singing means to the birds
And honey means to the bee
All that a girl ever meant to a boy
That's what you mean to me

Composer(s): Altered Images
Performer(s): Altered Images



The lights are dimmed
Everyone's so, so quiet
Hoping for a sign
Speak to me
Speak to me

Please tell me why
Why did you have to leave me?

Wind blowing, table shatters
Now we are in darkness
I think I can hear you calling
Speak to me
Speak to me

Please tell me why
Why did you have to leave me?

Speak to me
Don't go yet, you've not answered
All I want to know
Don't go yet, you've not answered
All I want
To know

Speak

Composer(s): Buddy Holly
Performer(s): Buddy Holly; The Picks



There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for everybody
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

I didn't hear them say a word of when that time will be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me

You just keep waiting and love will come your way
That's what they tell me
That's what they say

Caledonia


Caledonia
Composer(s): Bert Jansch
Performer(s): Bert Jansch



Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me
I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody
People gathered round a’ dancing and singing so merrily
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free

From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea
O’er the water to Kintyre, the prettiest place you’ll ever see
To the pubs and bars of Oban, they’re all proud of their old country
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free

On the road to Drumnadrochit, there’s music everywhere
For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air
Through Glengarry’s running rivers, cascading to the sea
To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now that’s Scotland to me
Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free

When the fiddle plays from Shetland, they heard the piper’s song
They came o’er the sea to join him, they danced and they sang along
From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free

Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home
You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone
For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea
He’ll have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free

Faithfully


Faithfully
Composer(s): Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey;
and various other artists



Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be

Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh-
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours-faithfully

That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)


That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)
Composer(s): Robert Levenson - E.E. Bagley



Every stripe that's in the flag means something dear to me
For it's the emblem of our land and of democracy
And everytime I see Old Glory
Then I want to tell the story
Just as in the days of old the tale was told to me

Everyone that's in the land should keep in memry clear
Just what the meaning is of that old flag we love so dear
For every single word is thrilling
'Cause it shows we all are willing
when there comes a time for it to do our bit with cheer

Red is for the soldier boys
their muskets swining while they're sining songs of cheer
White is for mothers
while their hearts are pining smiles are shining through each tear
Blue is for the jackies on the ocean sailing
never failing once to win the day
That's what the Red and White and Blue means to every true heart in the U.S.A.

That's What Love Will Do


That’s What Love Will Do
Composer(s): Trevor Peacock
Performer(s): Joe Brown



That yellow dress you wore
When we went dancing Sunday nights
That smile you give me
In the movies when they dim the lights
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

The spins we took together
On my beat-out motorbike
The look your pa would give me
When we got back late at night
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

I never see you except now and then
But when I see you
The longing starts all over again

Put out the candle
And tomorrow it looks bright again
But when I lost you
It could never be put right again
What can I do?
My mem’ry won’t let go of you
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

That yellow dress you wore
When we went dancing Sunday nights
That smile you give me
In the movies when they dim the lights
I’ve tried in vain to wash the mem’ry from my brain
I can’t forget you
And that’s what love will do
That’s what love will do

That’s what love will do

Cala A Boca, Bárbara


Cala A Boca, Bárbara Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra First release by: Chico Buarque - 1973



Ela sabe dos caminhos
Dessa minha terra
No meu corpo se escondeu
Minhas matas percorreu
Os meus rios
Os meus braços
Ele éo o meu guerreiro
Nos colcões de terra
Nas bandeiras, bons lençóis
Nas trincheiras, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca
Olha o fogo
Cala a boca
Olha a relva
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara

Ele sabe dos segredos
Que ninguém ensina
Onde guardo o meu prazer
Em que pântanos beber
As vazantes
As correntes
Nos colchões de ferro
Ele é o meu parceiro
Nas campanhas, nos currais
Nas entranhas, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca
Olha a noite
Cala a boca
Olha o frio
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara

Faith Of The Heart


Faith Of The Heart
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Rod Stewart; Susan Ashton



"The magic of believing is this if we really believe in ourselves
our heart will take us to the highest plateau of personal success
Nothing will stop us as long as we have faith in our hearts"

It’s been a long road - Getting from there to here
It’s been a long time, but my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing’s in my way
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more
No, they’re not gonna hold me now

Chorus:
'Cause I got faith of the heart
I’m going where my heart will take me
I got faith to believe
I can do anything
I got strength of the soul
And no one’s gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I got faith
Faith of the heart

It’s been a long night, trying to find my way
Been through the darkness now I finally have my day

And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they’re not gonna hold me down no more
No, they’re not gonna change my mind

Chorus

I’ve known a wind so cold
I’ve seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I’ve been through the fire and I’ve been through the rain
But I’ll be fine

Chorus

'Cause I got faith of the heart
I’m going’ where my heart will take me
I got faith to believe
And no one’s gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I got faith - faith of the heart
It’s been a long road

That's What Life Is Made Of


That's What Life Is Made Of
Composer(s): Ray Noble
Performer(s): New Grosvenor House Band



A little happiness, a little sorrow
Will be awaiting you tomorrow
But that's what life is made of anyhow

A little tearfulness, a little laughter
And not a care for what comes after
There's nothing to be afraid of anyhow

For the world rolls on the same old way
Just as night comes after day
That none of us can have a say about it

We'll make the world love every minute
And yet you're sixty seconds in it
Cos that's what life is made of anyhow

Christmas Carousel


Christmas Carousel
Composer(s): Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



Christmas is a carousel
And round and round we go
Busy doin', wrapping things
For ev'ryone we know
Trim the house and trim the tree
And let the spirit show
Sing some carols loud and clear
And set the lights aglow

Hang your stocking for Saint Nick
And he will fill it up
Don't forget to leave some cookies
And a Christmas cup
Leave some food for all his reindeer
And the Christmas mouse
Leave a little bit of cheese
Somewhere around the house

Now I think that we're all set
So let's all take a ride
Don't you feel the Christmas joy
That makes you glad inside
Hold your candycane way out
As round and round we go
And if you should catch the ring
It's made of mistletoe

Cakewalk Into Town


Cakewalk Into Town Composer(s): Taj Mahal First release by: Taj Mahal - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



I had the blues, so bad one time
it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town

Honey, I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good
you know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama
I might not feel this good again

My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walks
And when my woman gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks

My work is getting scarce, oh baby, my work it done got hard
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens Honey from the rich folks yard

I would love to take a picnic in the country and stay all day
I wouldn't do nothing but while my blues away

I had the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town

Fais-Moi Valser


Fais-Moi Valser
Composer(s): Charles Borel-Clerc
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Le jazz reprend pour nous sa valse d'amour
Pourtant, du beau roman, c'est le dernier jour
J'ai mal, mais devant toi, je n'ose pas pleurer
Puisque tout est fini, avant de nous quitter

{Refrain:}
Fais-moi valser une dernière fois
Serre-moi tout près de toi
Dis-moi tout bas de jolis mots d'amour
Les mêmes qu'au premier jour
Berce-moi doucement comme un oiseau blessé
Dans tes bras, un instant, je veux encor rêver
Comme un reflet de mon bonheur passé
Mon amour, fais-moi valser

Sur terre; tu sais bien, je n'avais que toi!
Tu veux déjà partir... Je ne comprends pourquoi...
Chéri, elle attendra... Je l'ai fait si souvent...
Va-t'en vers ton bonheur, si tu veux... mais avant

{Refrain}

Malgré que mon tourment pour toi, compte peu...
Je n'ai qu'un seul désir... que tu sois heureux!
Je vivrai désormais avec ton souvenir...
Adieu mon bel ami... mais avant de partir

{Refrain}

That's What Life Is All About (Petula Clark)


That's What Life Is All About
Composer(s): Ian Levine - Toni Wine
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Ron Dante



Sometimes I watch you when you're sleepin'
Wonderin' how I got so lucky
Baby, being here with you like this
Should I reach out and touch you softly
Or should I close my eyes and wait awhile
Baby, till you wake me with a kiss?

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

What do I need? I don't need anything
Why should I leave when I have everything
Baby, every time we sing our song?
Thanks for the love you give unselfishly
All that is mine is yours, you know it is
Oooh, what a feeling knowing we belong

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

Baby, being here with you like this...

Always you
Always me
Always us
Always we...

That's what life is all about
Finding someone is finding out
That love is what it's all about

Love is what it's all about
Love is what it's all about
Love is what it's all about...

Cajun Moon


Cajun Moon Composer(s): J.J. Cale First release by: J.J. Cale - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



Cajun moon, where does your power lie
As you move across the southern sky
You took my babe way too soon
What have you done, Cajun moon
Someday babe, when you want your man
And you find him gone, just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause Cajun moon took him from you
When daylight fades, the night comes on
You can hear the silence of this song
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause he got me like he got you
