Coracão Vagabundo


Coracão Vagabundo
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Meu coração não se cansa
De ter esperança
De um dia ser tudo o que quer
Meu coração de criança
Não é só a lembrança
De um vulto feliz de mulher
Que passou por um sonho meu sem dizer adeus
E fez dos olhos meus um olhar mais sem fim
Meu coração vagabundo
Quer guardar o mundo em mim

Run Like The Wind


Run Like The Wind
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): Mike Batt; Barbara Dickson



There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind
Out across the evening, resting on the wing
If I had the wings of an eagle
There's be no holding me
I'd be free, sailing free

Chorus:

One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon
Gonna break away from everything
One day soon
Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back
And nothing's gonna keep me in
Gonna run like the wind

And if you should tell me
You want to hold me down
Before the flow of morning
I'd be gone without a sound
The more you try to keep me here
The less you will succeed
Sailing free, sailing free

Chorus

There's A Long, Long Trail


There's A Long, Long Trail
Composer(s): Zo Elliott - Stoddard King
Performer(s): The King's Men



There's a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams

There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true
Till the day when I'll be going down
That long, long trail with you

Cor Invisívell


Cor Invisível
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Abel Silva
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando eu vejo a mocidade
Sonhando os seus amores
Pensam que tudo são flores
Mal sabem que isso é da idade

Brincam de amor almas puras
E eu que bem sei do que falo
Sei das vielas escuras
Da solidão e me calo

É que o amor é o perfume
De uma flor impossível
Que tem a cor invisível
E seu espinho o ciúme

Ai de quem bebe do rio
Dessa ilusão passageira
Sente um estranho frio
Tomar-lhe a alma inteira

É que o amor não se basta
Nunca ele é por inteiro
Onde o desejo se alastra
Sofre alguém prisioneiro

Quem inventou esta sorte
Olhou no olho da fera
Sonhou enganar a morte
Beijou mais uma quimera

Run Like Hell


Run Like Hell
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



You better run like hell
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disquise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smiler
And your hungry heart
Iced the bile rising from your quilty post
With your nerves in tatters
When the cockleshell shattens
And the hammers butter
Down the door
You better run like hell
You better run all day
And run all night
And keeps your dirty feelings
Deep inside
Take your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cos if they catch your in the back scat
Trying to pick her looks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run

There's A Land Of Begin Again


There's A Land Of Begin Again
Composer(s): Hughie Charles - Ross Parker
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists



There's a land of begin again
On the other side of the hill
Where we learn to love and live again
When the world is quiet and still
There's a land of begin again
And there's not a cloud in the sky
Where we'll never have to grieve again
And we'll never say goodbye

When all your troubles just surround you
And around you skies are grey
If you can only keep your eyes on
The horizon, not so far away

There's a land of begin again
On the other side of the hill
Where we learn to love and live again
When the world is quiet and still
There's a land of begin again
And there's not a cloud in the sky
Where we'll never have to grieve again
And we'll never say goodbye

There aren't any signposts to guide you
You don't need permission to stay
And you'll find there's something inside you
Showing you the way

There's a prize we can win again
And together, somehow, we will
There's a land of begin again
On the other side of the hill

Coquette


Coquette
Composer(s): Johnny Green - Gus Kahn - Carmen Lombardo
First release by: Guy Lombardo - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



Hear me why you keep fooling
Little coquette
Making fun of the one who loves you

Breakin' hearts you are rulin'
Little coquette
True hearts tenderly dreaming of you

Someday you'll fall in love
As I fell in love with you
Maybe the one you love
Will just be foolin' too

And when you are alone
With all your regrets
You know my little coquette
I love you

Someday you'll fall in love
As I fell in love with you
Now maybe the one you love
Will just be foolin' too

And when you are alone
With all your regrets
You know my little coquette
I love you

Run For The Roses


Run For The Roses
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia



Reach for the sun
Catch hold of the moon
They're both too heavy
But what can you do?
Reach for the stars
Smack into the sky
You don't want to live
But you're too chicken to die...
---chicken to die---

Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time

Reach for the rose
Get caught in the briar
You're warming to love
Next thing there's a fire
The trouble with love
is its other face
You just want the cup
you don't want the race
No, you don't want the race...

Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time

Run for the money
Caught short on the rent
Big ideas but
the money's all spent
If you got the do-re
I got the mi
And I got a notion
we're all at the sea
Yeah, we're all at the sea

Run, run
Run for the roses
Sooner it opens
the quicker it closes
Man, oh, man
Oh friend of mine
All good things in all good time
All good things in all good time

Coquetier Bleu


Coquetier Bleu
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Elle était bonne
Pour quarante
Quarante dollars
Ou quarante hommes
Pour quarante
Elle était bonne...
C'était elle
Qu'un dieu souriant
Avait prévue
Pour faire de la terre
Un grand ciel entrevu...
Un œuf et une poule
Un grand coquetier bleu
De loin, c'est une boule
De près, un chemin creux...
Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux
Comme dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue
Un extincteur rêve de feu
Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique...
Il faut oser
Tresser l'osier
Pour laisser au moins un panier
À l'éternité...
Morales, conscience
Et habitudes
Habitent toujours la même rue
Il faudrait oser déménager...
Un œuf et une poule
Un grand coquetier bleu
Elle bonne pour quarante
Et moi amoureux
Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux
Comme, dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue
Un extincteur rêve de feu
Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique ...

Run For Home


Run For Home
Composer(s): Alan Hull
Performer(s): Lindisfarne; Alan Hull



I’ve travelled the land
With a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I’ve made some mistakes
Had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum

Chorus:
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home

I’ve seen all the frowns
On the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
And I’ve seen all the girls
In their pretty frocks and curls
But it don’t mean a lot to me
Chorus

And I’ve been to the places in town
Where the faces hang round
Just to stare at each other
I’ve looned with them screamed at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered
Chorus

Copperhead Road


Copperhead Road
Composer(s): Steve Earle
First release by: Steve Earle - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Dis-moi, mon Dieu comme c'est drôle
De se rencontrer comme ça aujourd'hui
Ça fait si longtemps
Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Tu sais, tu n'as pas changé, tu es toujours aussi jolie

Oui mais peut-être je t'ennuie
Tu as peut-être mieux à faire aujourd'hui
Que de m'écouter
Mais raconte-moi, et ta famille?
Oh, c'est si merveilleux de te retrouver
Après tant d'années

Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Dis-moi et notre romance
Au fond comment a-t-elle fini?
La la la la la la la la la la la...

Oui mais peut-être je t'ennuie
Tu as peut-être tout oublié depuis
Tout ça est si vieux
Mais moi j'y pense encore souvent
Mais moi tu sais, je n'ai jamais oublié
Tu n'peux pas comprendre

Toi évidemment, tu ne pouvais pas
Savoir, je n'ai pas changé
Et moi je t'aime toujours autant
Toujours autant... oui toujours autant

Barry Manilow; Bruce Sussman; Jack Feldman
First release by: Barry Manilow - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages
1979 - Istedgade
2002 - Madame Pipieke



Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana

Run Around Babe


Run Around Babe
Performer(s): Neil Young



Run around babe
I'm only losing my mind
Run around babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, run around babe
Oh, oh, run around babe

When we were young
We left our worries behind
When we were young
Left not to be
The worry is back on me
And it's not hard to see
That that's the way it has to be
Oh, oh, run around babe
Oh, oh, run around babe

Run around babe
I'm only losing my mind
Run around babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, run around babe

`k voel me goed vandaag
en alles valt mee, vandaag
de zon en de zee
alles lui en traag
ik ga maar te voet, misschien ga je mee?

Niks dat moet vandaag
Alleen of met twee, vandaag
dat is ook ok
wil je niet zo graag
je ziet wat je doet

Ik heb vandaag geen ander doel
Dan te voelen wat ik voel, binnenin
En ik doe mijn zin
Ik voel me goed als jij eens wist
Als jij kon weten wat het is, dat je mist
dan kwam je gelopen

`k voel me goed vandaag
en alles valt mee, vandaag
als jet het heel mooi vraagt
dan mag je nog mee

Ik heb vandaag geen ander doel
Dan te voelen wat ik voel, binnenin

Ik voel me goed als jij eens wist

Pela luz que ilumina
O traçado e a triz
Não importa que seja de giz

Run


Run
Performer(s): Sandy Shaw



As the wind blows through the trees
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him
Someone must run, I said someone must run

The sun is sinking from the sky
I see a shadow and I think it must be him
Sometimes I see someone with their back towards me
I think it could just be him
If the telephone rings, I don’t pick it up
If someone knocks at the door, it remains shut
What would he do if he found me?
Someone must run, I said someone must run

As the wind blows through the trees
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him
Someone must run, I said someone must run

There's A Honky-Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)
Composer(s): Troy Seals - Denny Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
and multiple other artists



When was the last time you kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord, she's happy just holding my hand

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
