Acalanto Para Um Punhal


Acalanto Para Um Punhal
Composer(s): Robertinho de Recife - Herman Torres - Fausto Nilo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Dorme bandoleiro
Dorme punhal, coração
Dos irmãos dos cavalos
Ponta de sal na raiz dos gemidos

Arma branca das trevas
Invejará o ardor
Do teu aço na flor
Que esconde a beleza em profundas crateras

Sangue na prata da lua
Fere a paixão no capim
Dorme em leito carmim

Clarão, violão
Mesmo sol de Sevilha

Acordarás com meu grito
Rasga o silêncio do amor
Mancha o leito de dor
Punhal, coração
Amanhece a campina

We Work The Black Seam


We Work The Black Seam
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; Pat Kilbride



This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

Our conscious lives run deep
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
This way of life is part of me
The is no price so only let me be
And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

We Won't Live In A Castle


We Won't Live In A Castle
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Donald Peers; Jimmy Young



We won't live in a castle
But love will light every room
For love will shine in your eyes and mine
Bright as the golden moon

Laugh with me in the sunlight
Weep with me in the rain
Just want me dear, and you'll have me near
You've only to call my name

Every dream won't come true
We won't care you'll have me, I'll have you

Though we won't live in a castle
Love will light every room
Our love will be till eternity
Bright as the golden moon

Every dream won't come true
But you'll have me, I'll have you

Though we won't live in a castle
Love will light every room
Our love will be till eternity
Bright as the golden moon

Acalanto


Acalanto
Composer(s): Edú Lobo - Chico Buarque
First release by: Chico Buarque - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



É tão cedo, meu irmão
Abre os olhos, dorme não
Espalha os meus soldados
Estraga os meus brinquedos
Pode me odiar
Nunca mais olhar pra mim
Mas não faz
Não faz mais
Assim

Tão cedo, meu irmão
Põe a mão na minha mão
Pode fechar meus olhos
Alisa os meus cabelos
E a quem perguntar
Deus, que foi que aconteceu
Vou jurar que o teu sangue
É meu
Eu vou rasgar
Meu coração
Pra costurar o teu
Vou te soprar
Esta canção
O meu irmão
Morreu

Aca Entre Nos


Aca Entre Nos
Composer(s): Martín Urieta
Performer(s): Vicente Fernández & Alejandro Fernández



Por presumir a mis amigos les conte
que en el amor ninguna pena me aniquila
que pa' probarles de tus besos me olvide
y me bastaron unos tragos de tequila

Les platique que me encontre con otro amor
y que en sus brazos fui dejando de quererte
que te aborrezco desde el dia de tu traicion
y que hay momentos que he deseado hasta tu muerte

Aca entre nos
quiero que sepas la verdad
no te he dejado de adorar
alla en mi triste soledad
me han dado ganas de gritar
salir corriendo y preguntar
que es lo que ha sido de tu vida

Aca entre nos
siempre te voy a recordar
y hoy que a mi lado ya no estas
no queda mas que confesar
que ya no puedo soportar
que estoy odiando sin odiar
porque respiro por la herida

Aca entre nos....

We Will Make Love


We Will Make Love
Composer(s): Ronald Hulme
Performer(s): Russ Hamilton



(Oh yes we will make love)

When the moon takes the place
of the sun in the sky
I'll call for my girlie
We'll go walkin' by
To a place no one knows
That's how love goes
Now we are alone
We will make love
Oh yes, we will make love

I wish we could wed
But we are too young
But one day I know
Wedding bells will be rung
For you and for me
We'll promise to be
So faithful and true
I love you
Oh yes, I love you

Now it's getting late
Now we must part
But before I go
I will leave you my heart
So don't shed a tear
I'll always be near
I'll hold you so tight
And I'll kiss you goodnight
Oh yes, I'll kiss you goodnight

When I go away
Don't ever let your heart go astray
`cos my love so true
Is only for you
So remember you're mine
You're mine all the time

When the sun takes the place
Of the moon in the sky
We'll go on a journey
You and I
To a far distant land
Where our dreams were planned
In the clouds up above
We will make love
Oh yes, we will make love
Oh yes, we will make love

Abuglubu Abugluba


Abuglubu Abugluba
Composer(s): Carlos Argentino - G. Coulonges - Jean Greblin
Performer(s): André Bourvil & Pierrette Bruno



Abuglubu, abugluba
il lui a dit Abuglubu, abugluba
il savait c'qu'il voulait
Abuglubu, abugluba
elle répondit ce sera comme tu voudras
Elle était arrangeante

Tous les cubains vous raccont'ront cette légende
abuglubu, c'est un vieux mot au sens caché
abugluba c'est la réponse à c'qu'il demande
imaginez c'qu'un amoureux peut demander
Pour nous renseigner
il faudrait trouver
une jeune cubaine qui voudrait nous l'expliquer
Car tous les cubains
connaissent très bien
ce merveilleux refrain
du bon fiancé moyen

Abuglubu, abugluba
cela veut dire je t'aimerai, tu m'aimeras
ah bon!
Abuglubu, abugluba
Cette nuit aussi, je t'attendrai, tu m'attendras
Ça dit tout ça?
Ça dit encore si tu le veux tu s'ras ma femme
car ces deux mots nous chantent un amour éternel
Abuglubu c'est l'Roméo de la Havane
Abugluba c'est sa Juliette au cœur de miel
Et tous les cubains
quand ils s'aiment bien
adorent se donner
ces deux noms prédestinés
C'est pour ça qu'le soir
quand ils vont danser
sur toutes les musiques
on les entend s'appeler

Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, je t'aimerai tu m'aimeras
Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, je cèderai, on s'aimera
ils ont d'la conversation
Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, t'adorerai, on s'mari'ra
(où est-ce qu'ils vont chercher tout ça?)
et rien jamais ne sépar'ra
ne sépar'ra Abuglubu, d'Abugluba
Dis tu l'as vu? quoi? mon abuglubu
mais j'croyais qu'c'était un abugluba
C'est la même chose! Ah bon!
Alors au revoir!
Non pas au revoir, Abuglubu!
Ah oui, c'est ça abugluba!

We Were All Uprooted


We Were All Uprooted
Performer(s): Vangelis



We were all uprooted
The earth was stolen from beneath our feet
We became a Diaspora
An unnamed nation of bastards
We channeled our roots to the pulse of light
deep within the galaxies of our mind
Our breath was the sky
Our dreams were water
We claimed the wilderness
We recognized each other

Absolution Blues


Absolution Blues
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Jimmy Page
Performer(s): Jimmy Page



Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for sweet young things
On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon
Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away
Wash my tears away

Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years
But, I was blind to all your fears
Now I can't stop the tears from falling down
Come the dawn of judgement day
I'll get down on my knees and pray
St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray
The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away

Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees
Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no

Hello Central, Give Me France


Hello Central, Give Me France
(aka We Want Our Daddy Dear, Back Home)
Composer(s): James M. Reilly; Harry De Costa



A little girl woke when the dawn was near
And the nurse said "See your new brother," dear
She went to her mother with wondring stare
And their thoughts were of Dad who's "over there"
The little girl crept down the stairs all alone
And this love call she sent through the telephone

The little girl smiled, then the clock struck one
As the Central called White House, Washington
The President heard and he understood
Like the father of this great country should
He cabled in code every word Central said
In the trenches in France the proud Daddy read

Hello, Central, give me France
I want to talk to Daddy dear
Because I'd like to tell him while I got the chance
The stork brought a brand new baby here
Won't you say that its "me"
And he'll answer you'll see
So hurry, please, and get him on the phone
Hello, Central, give me France
'Cause we want our Daddy dear back home

Absolutely Sweet Marie


Absolutely Sweet Marie
((Swedish Version: Utan Tvekan Min Marie (by Mikael Wiehe & Ebba Forsberg) - 2007))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately

Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
But ev'rybody else, even yourself
They're just gonna have to wait

Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony
Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie

Utan Tvekan Min Marie


Utan Tvekan Min Marie
((Adapted from: Absolutely Sweet Marie (by Bob Dylan) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Mikael Wiehe
Performer(s): Mikael Wiehe & Ebba Forsberg - 2007



Ah, din pansardörr, jag orkar inte med den
Ibland så får jag bara kris
Så jag sitter här och fingrar lite på trumpeten
och undrar om du tänker komma hit
Var är du ikväll, min Marie

Jag vänta’ på dej när jag var trött och sliten
Jag vänta’ på dej när du var kall som is
Jag vänta’ på dej mitt i eftermiddagstrafiken
när jag varken hade pengar eller tid
Så var är du ikväll, min Marie

Dom andra du har
är dubbelt så bra
som jag
uppenbart
Men sen är del klart
att inte många kan va
som du
Och de’e ju tur

Dom vita varor, du hade lånat
har äntligen kommit tillbaka hit till vårt menageri
Ska man va laglös får man hålla det man lovar
och ingen var så lovande som vi
Så var är du ikväll, min Marie

De’e svårt att förstå men
kaptenen på pråmen
han känner mej
Men resten av stan får vänta ett tag
Det gäller också dej

Jag har fått feber i hela kroppen
Nåt persiskt fyllo tar min tid
Jag kan ta honom till din port men inte låsa upp den
Du vet, du gav mej aldrig nycklar dit
Var är du ikväll, min Marie

Jag fick ditt brev när jag satt inne
och förstod att det inte finns nån gräns för mänskligt hyckleri
Och nu står jag vid ditt hus med mina minnen
och tycker mest det liknar en ruin
Var är du ikväll, min Marie

We Used To Know


We Used To Know
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Whenever I get to feel this way
try to find new words to say
I think about the bad old days
we used to know

Nights of winter turn me cold
fears of dying, getting old
We ran the race and the race was won
by running slowly

Could be soon we'll cease to sound
slowly upstairs, faster down
Then to revisit stony grounds
we used to know

Remembering mornings, shillings spent
made no sense to leave the bed
The bad old days they came and went
giving way to fruitful years

Saving up the birds in hand
while in the bush the others land
Take what we can before the man
says it's time to go

Each to his own way I'll go mine
Best of luck in what you find
But for your own sake remember times
we used to know

Absolutely Right


Absolutely Right
Composer(s): Les Emmerson
Performer(s): Five Man Electrical Band; AC-Rock



I'm knockin' on your door
So you let me in
I swear I won't be the way I was before
Don't you know that I was thinking
About what you told me
Rollin' it over in my mind
And much to my surprise I find
That you were absolutely right
You've been right all along
You're absolutely right and I'm wrong
Second time around should be easy
Break down the wall between me and you
So we can see completely
How easy love can be
I know it was you who said
It would be me who'd come crawlin'
Back to you upon my knees
And you were absolutely right
You've been right all along
You're absolutely right and I'm wrong
I wish that you could see
Oh how bad I want to be
Oh the kind of man to who
You'd give your key
If you'd let me in the room again
Come supper time we'll be sittin'
By the fire this evening
Drinkin' homemade wine
We can laugh and dance and sing
And play and love the night away

We Three (My Echo, My Shadow, And Me)


We Three (My Echo, My Shadow, And Me)
Composer(s): Nelson Cogane; Sammy Mysels; Dick Robertson
Performer(s): The Ink Spots;
and various other artists



We three, we're all alone
Living in a memory
My echo, my shadow, and me

We three, we're not a crowd
We're not even company
My echo, my shadow, and me

What good is the moonlight
The silvery moonlight that shines above?
I walk with my shadow
I talk with my echo
but where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eternity
my echo, my shadow, and me

We three we're all alone
Seems like we're living in a memory
That's my echo my shadow and me
We three we ain't no crowd
Fact is we ain't even company
That's my echo my shadow and me
You know I been wondering-what good is the moonlight
that silvery moonlight that shines way, way up above?
Yeah, I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo
but where is that gal that I love?
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eternity
My echo, my shadow, and me

Absolute Beginners (The Jam)


Absolute Beginners
Composer(s): Paul Weller
Performer(s): The Jam



In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream
I looked across this world, there was no one to be seen
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away
I saw no warmth in life , no love was in my eyes
I stared a century thinking this will never change
As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall
But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts

I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
and lost an era daydreaming like I do

I stared a century thinking this would never change
As I hesitated, time marched onwards without me
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall
But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts

In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
But look around this world, there's millions to be seen
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools, 'cos love is in our hearts!

I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
and lost an era daydreaming like I do

You can lose some hours thinking of it
You need the strength to go and get what you want
You can lose a lifetime thinking of it
And lose an era daydreaming like I do

We Should Be Together


We Should Be Together
Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Maria Muldaur



We should be together
Like the walls and ceiling
Like a door and doorknob
Like the hat on your knob
Like butler goes with doorbell
Keyhole with key
I think we'll get by
If you'll stick with me

We should be together
Like the frame and picture
Like shoes and stockings
Like the clocks tick tockings
Like tap and toe, like high and low
Stop and go honey
Your a perfect lady
Your a regular guy
We should be together, you and I

We should be together
Like bread and butter
We should be together
Like putt and putter
Like corned beef with cabbage
And lamb with stew
How lucky I am that I go with you

We should be together
Like rhyme and reason
Like a coat and muffler
When the weather's freezin'
Like June and Moon
In every popular song
Baby, your a cup of coffee
Your a peachy pie
We should be together, you and I
