Feliz
Feliz
Composer(s): Gonzaguinha
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Para quem bem viveu o amor
Duas vidas que abrem
Não acabam com a luz
São pequenas estrelas
Que correm no céu
Trajetórias opostas
Sem jamais deixar de se olhar
É um carinho guardado no cofre
De um coração que voou
É um afeto deixado nas veias
De um coração que ficou
É a certeza da eterna presença
Da vida que foi
Na vida que vai
É a saudade da boa
Feliz cantar
Que foi foi foi
Foi bom e pra sempre será
Mais mais mais
Maravilhosamente amar

The Bloke Who Invented Beer
The Bloke Who Invented Beer
Performer(s): Rolf Harris
Okay you lot, all right, all right, you fellahs, now
you're all drinking up and havin' a good time
How about a round of applause for the gent who made all this possible...
... The bloke who invented beer
Are you gonna join me in a musical tribute to this noble benefactor? (Too right!)
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
He gave this tired old world a spark
They should have his statue in ev'ry park
Life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yes, us fellahs know that the invention of beer was the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind
Ahead of electricity and airplanes and all that other stuff
But did the bloke who invented beer get the credit and recognition he deserves...
No!
No, he don't
But we don't forget him
Just look at our pub motto
Caesar was great and so was Nero, but the bloke who invented beer's a hero!
So c'mon, loosen up your tonsils and let's give it another burst
Are you ready? Well, let's go then...
Oh, how about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
We'd all be shakin' and quakin' flops
If we couldn't gargle our throats with hops
He was the first to defeat the old demon thirst
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
Though not one hist'ry book gives his name
We say he will stay in the hall of fame
Man's joys were few, till our hero brought out his brew
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer...

The Blizzard
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release by: Jim Reeves - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a blizzard comin' on, how I'm wishin' I was home
for my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that Norther sigh- if we don't get home, we'll die
But it's only seven miles to MaryAnn
It's only seven miles to MaryAnn
You can bet we're on her mind, 'cause it's nearly supper time
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like their froze, there's a numbness in my toes
but it's only five more miles to MaryAnn
It's only five more miles to MaryAnn
That winds howlin' and it seems, mighty like a woman's scream
We best be movin' faster, if we can
Dan, just think about that barn, with that hay so soft and warm
It's only three more miles to MaryAnn
It's only three more miles to MaryAnn
"Well Dan, get up, you awnry cuss, or you'll be the death of us
Well I'm so weary, I'll help ya', if I can
Well, alright Dan, perhaps it's best, that we stop awhile and rest
For it's still a-hundred yards to MaryAnn"
It's still a-hundred yards to MaryAnn
Well, late that night the storm was gone, and they found 'im, there at dawn
Well, he'd a-made it, but he just couldn't leave 'ol Dan
Yes, they found him there, on the plains, with his hands froze to the reins
He was just a-hundred yards from MaryAnn
He was just a-hundred yards from MaryAnn

Nous sommes faits l'un pour l'autre
Je saurais te rendre heureux
Si dans mes bras tu te vautres
Tu veux
Féline je serai féline
Rrraou avec toi monsieur
Y a longtemps que je désire
Avec toi monter au cieux
Je suis née pour te chérir
A mieux

Je peux être chatte de race
Avec grâce
Tu verras
Ou bien chatte de gouttière
Sans manière
La nuit blottie dans tes bras
Quand tu me feras la cour
Fermant à demi les yeux
Je ronronnerai d'amour
Mon Dieu
Féline je serai féline
Rrraou avec toi monsieur
Je voudrais mordre tes lèvres
Couchée sur ton corps nerveux
Je me sens soudain tout fièvre
Tout feux

Je suis nerveuse d'attendre
Tu sais bien ce que je veux
Fais pas semblant de comprendre
Le jeu

Si tu veux jouer les Falstaff
Je t'agrafe
Sans regret
Avec mes crocs et mes griffes
Objectif
Te lacérer le portrait
Mais
Si dans mes bras tu te vautres
Je saurais te rendre heureux
Nous sommes faits l'un pour l'autre
Nous deux
Féline je serai féline

The Blind Man In The Bleachers
The Blind Man In The Bleachers ((aka The Last Game Of The Season (David Geddes))
Performer(s): Kenny Starr; Loyal Garner
He's just the blind man in the bleachers to the local hometown fans
And he sits beneath the speakers way back in the stands
And he listens to the play by play, he's just waiting for one name
He wants to hear his son get in the game
But the boy's just not a hero, he's strictly second team
Though he runs each night for touchdowns in his fathers sweetest dreams
He's gonna be a star someday though you might never tell
But the blind man in the bleachers knows he will
And the last game of the season is a Friday night at home
And no one knows the reason but the blind man didn't come
And his boy looks kinda nervous,sometimes turns around and stares
Just as though he sees the old man sitting there
Well, the local boys are tryin' but they slowly lose their will
Another players down and now he's carried from the field
At halftime in the locker room the kid goes off alone
And no one sees him talkin' on the phone
And the games already started when he gets back to the team
And half the crowd can hear his coach yell, "Where the hell you been?"
"Just getting' ready for the second half", is all he'll say
"Cause no you're gonna let me in to play"
And without another word he turns and runs into the game
And though the silence on the field, loudspeakers call his name
It'll make the local papers how the team came from behind
When they saw him playing out his heart to win
And when the game was over the coach asked him to tell
What was it he was thinkin' of that made him play so well
"Well, you knew my Dad was blind", he said, "Tonight he passed away"
"It's the first time that my father's seen me play"

Candy Apple Red
Candy Apple Red
Composer(s): Houston Turner
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
and multiple other artists
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown
And his car was painted candy apple red
He was coming there to see the Sheriff's daughter
And the Sheriff didn't know it, so they said
Time and time again the Sheriff tried to catch him
But he always speeded up and got away
That old county jail stood patiently a-waitin'
And the Sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
Well there goes candy apple red, that's what the people said
If he doesn't slow it down a bit, he's gonna end up dead
And the Sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
Than to live without her candy apple red
So the Sheriff built a barricade to catch him
And he sat there at the limits of the town
But the Sheriff's daughter had already met him
And she married him before the sun went down
When the Sheriff saw them comin' down the highway
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
Well there goes candy apple red, that's what the people said
If he doesn't slow it down a bit, he's gonna end up dead
And the Sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
Than to live without her candy apple red

Felicitá
Composer(s): G. De Stefani;
Dario Farina; C. Minellono
Performer(s): Al Bano & Romina Power;
and various other artists
Felicitá
E' tenersi per mano, andare lontano la felicitá
E' il tuo sguardo innocente in mezzo alla gente la felicitá
E' restare vicini, come bambini, la felicitá, felicitá
Felicitá
E' un cuscino di piume, l'acqua del fiume che passa e che va
E' la pioggia che scende, dietro alle tende la felicitá
E' abbassare la luce, per fare pace, la felicitá, felicitá
Felicitá
E' un bicchiere di vino
Con un panino la felicitá
E' lasciarsi un biglietto dentro al cassetto, la felicitá
E' cantare a due voci, quanto mi piaci la felicitá, felicitá
Senti nell'aria c'e gia la nostra canzone
D'amore che va...
Come un pensiero che sa di felicitá
Senti nell'aria c'e gia un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
Come un sorriso che sa di felicitá
Felicitá
E' una sera a sorpresa
La luna accesa, la radio che va
E' un biglietto d'auguri, pieno di cuori la felicitá
E una telefonata non aspettata, la felicitá, felicitá
Felicitá
E' una spiaggia di notte
L'onda che batte, la felicitá
E' una mano sul cuore, piena d'amore la felicitá
E' aspettare l'aurora, per farlo ancora la felicitá
Felicitá
Senti nell'aria c'e gia la nostra canzone
D'amore che va...
Come un pensiero che sa di felicitá
Senti nell'aria c'e gia un raggio di sole piu caldo che va
Come un sorriso che sa di felicitá

The Blacksmith Blues
The Blacksmith Blues
Composer(s): Jack Holmes
Performer(s): Ella Mae Morse
and multiple other artists
Down in old Kentucky
Where horseshoes are lucky
There's a village smithy standin' under a chestnut tree
Hear the hammer knockin'
See the anvil rockin'
He sings the boogie blues while he's hammerin' on the shoes
See the hot sparks a-flyin'
Like Fourth of July-in'
He's even got the horses cloppin', pop! down the avenue
Folks love the rhythm
The clang-bangin' rhythm
You'll get a lot o' kicks out of the Blacksmith Blues

Candy, I call my sugar Candy
Because I'm sweet on Candy
And Candy's sweet on me
He/She understands me
My understanding Candy
And Candy's always handy
When I need sympathy
I wish that there were four of him/her
So I could love much more of him/her
He/She has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart
Candy, it's gonna be just dandy
The day I take my Candy
And make him/her mine, all mine

Félicie Aussi
Composer(s): Albert Willemetz;
C.L. Pothier; Casimir Oberfeld
Performer(s): Fernandel; Maurice Chevalier
C'est dans un coin du bois d'Boulogne
Que j'ai rencontré Félicie
Elle arrivait de la Bourgogne
Et moi j'arrivai en Taxi
Je trouvai vite une occasion
D'engager la conversation
Il faisait un temps superbe
Je me suis assis sur l'herbe
Félicie aussi
J'pensais les arbres bourgeonnent
Et les gueules de loup boutonnent
Félicie aussi
Près de nous sifflait un merle
La rosée faisait des perles
Félicie aussi
Un clocher sonnait tout proche
Il avait une drôle de cloche
Félicie aussi
Afin d'séduire la petite chatte
Je l'emmenai dîner chez Chartier
Comme elle est fine et délicate
Elle prit un pied d'cochon grillé
Et pendant qu'elle mangeait le sien
J'lui fit du pied avec le mien
J'pris un homard sauce tomates
Il avait du poil au pattes
Félicie aussi
Puis une sorte de plat aux nouilles
On aurait dit une andouille
Félicie aussi
Je m'offris une gibelotte
Elle embaumait l'échalotte
Félicie aussi
Puis une poire et des gaufrettes
Seulement la poire était blette
Félicie aussi
L'Aramon lui tournant la tête
Elle murmura "quand tu voudras"
Alors j'emmenai ma conquête
Dans un hôtel tout près de là
C'était l'hotêl d'Abyssinie
Et du Calvados réuni
J'trouvai la chambre ordinaire
Elle était pleine de poussière
Félicie aussi
Je m'lavai les mains bien vite
L'lavabo avait une fuite
Félicie aussi
Sous l'armoire y avait une cale
Car elle était toute bancale
Félice aussi
Y avait un fauteuil en plus
Mais il était rempli d'puce
Félicie aussi
Et des draps de toiles molles
Me chatouillaient les guiboles
Félicie aussi

The Blackpool Walk
Performer(s): Felix Mendelssohn
They’re all doing the Blackpool Walk
It’s become a whole town sport
Ee by gum, it’s champion
It’s the Blackpool Walk
They’re all coming from near and far
To learn the steps, and here they are
Ee by gum, it’s champion
It’s the Blackpool Walk
Two steps forward, two steps back
Then you glide to the right
Then forward, then then back
Then you shout with all your might
Oh, oh, they’re all doing the Blackpool Walk
It’s become the whole town’s sport
Ee by gum, it’s champion
It’s the Blackpool Walk

Candles Getting Shorter
Candles Getting Shorter
Composer(s): Ken Hensley
Performer(s): The Gods
And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you
Ought to have done
Why do I, why do I keep on crying
Why do I, why do I keep on crying
How long will the sadness last
Will it be too long before it's past
How I've been so
Hopelessly out class
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I cried
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I cried
It doesn't really matter
If I wake one day and find
You didn't want to stay
My heart will just go on pretending
That I didn't love or
Want you anyway, no

Felicia försvann, kan någon säga hur?
Som fågeln ur sin bur
Som isen när det våras
Som kärlek när den såras
Som tur utan retur
Felicia försvann, kan någon säga hur?
Felicia är död, död är mitt enda hopp
Försvunnen hennes kropp
Av näcken blev hon tagen
och ned i älven dragen
Hon flyter aldrig opp
Felicia är död, försvunnen hennes kropp
Felicia försvann, Felicia adjö
Vi måste alla dö
Du kysste mig på munnen
Du log och var försvunnen
Ditt kött var också hö
Felicia försvann, Felicia adjö.
Felicia försvann, kan någon säga hur?
Som fågeln ur sin bur
Som isen när det våras
Som kärlek när den såras
Som tur utan retur
Felicia försvann, kan någon säga hur?

The Blackfly Song
The Blackfly Song
Composer(s): Wade Hemsworth
Performer(s): Wade Hemsworth
'Twas early in the spring when I decide to go
For to work up in the woods in North Ontario
And the unemployment office said they'd see me through
To the Little Abitibi with the survey crew
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' on my bones
In North Ontario, io, in North Ontario
Now the man Black Toby was the captain of the crew
And he said "I'm gonna tell you boys what we're gonna do
The want to build a power dam and we must find a way
For to make the little Ab flow around the other way"
So we survey to the east and we survey to the west
And we couldn't make our minds up how to do it best
Little Ab, Little Ab, what shall I do?
For I'm all but goin' crazy on the survey crew
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' on my bones
In North Ontario, io, in North Ontario
It was blackfly, blackfly, blackfly, everywhere
A-crawlin in your whiskers, a- crawlin in your hair
A-swimmin' in the soup and a-swimmin' in the tea
Oh the Devil take the blackfly and leave me be
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' on my bones
In North Ontario, io, in North Ontario
Black Toby fell to swearin' cuz the work went slow
And the state of our morale was a-gettin' mighty low
And the flies swarmed heavy; it was hard to catch a breath
As you staggered up and down the trail, talkin' to yourself
Now the bull cook's name was Blind River Joe
If it hadn't been for him, we'd've never pulled through
For he bound up our bruises and he kidded us for fun
And he lathered us with bacon grease and balsam gum
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' on my bones
In North Ontario, io, in North Ontario
At last the job was over; Black Toby said
"We're through with the Little Abitibi and the survey crew"
T'was a wonderful experience and this I know
I'll never go again to North Ontario
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' on my bones
In North Ontario, io, in North Ontario

For no special reason
I am leaving you for awhile tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still I love you, you make things right
I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more, yea
The story has a strange ending
Well, you know me I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad about the way I am
I've been rolling around my whole life
You're my candlebright in the window
You guide me back again
And I come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
Well, you know me I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad about the way I am
I've been rolling around my whole life
You're my candlebright in the window
You guide me back again
And I come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer

Still I love you
My candlebright
You are not my friend

But still I love you

But still I love you

Still I love you
Still I love you
