"Hide In Your Shell" de Supertramp


Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?

Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you

But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?

I,as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening - the fire's becoming colder
Too beautiful - to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer.

But what you see is just an illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, you just let me know

I wanna know...I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?

Why don't you listen, you can trust me,
There's a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you're alone
Can you hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
Cos all your troubles are within you
Please begin to see that I'm just bleeding too

Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn fools...

"Cinema Paradiso (Se)" de Ennio & Andrea Morricone e Alessio de Sensi


Se tu fossi nei miei occhi per un giorno
Vedresti la bellezza che piena d'allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
Ignaro se magia o realtà

Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potreste avere un'idea
Di ciò che sento io
Quando m'abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto noi
Respiriamo insieme

Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sento in me
Che m'innamorai
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore

Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore

"Wish You Were Here" de Pink Floyd


So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" de U2


You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt.

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on a beach.
Well you tell me things
I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach.

Hey Hey Sha La La (2x)
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cos I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cos I wanted revenge.
Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to.
Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey Hey Sha la la (2x)
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Ah, the deeper I spin
Ah, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin.
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me.
Hallelujah! Heaven's white rose
The doors you open I just can't close.

Don't turn around, don't turn around again.
Don't turn around your gypsy heart.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again.
Don't turn around, and don't look back.
Come on now love, don't you look back.

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

"I Loved You" de Freddy Cole

 
I loved you
Although against my will I knew I loved you
Time was standing still because I loved you
But someday I knew you'd fly away

Tomorrow
That could never be a new tomorrow
For I can only think of yesterday
In everyway...

I loved you
Such memories of moments when I loved you
I loved you then but you were never mine

A summer
A summer to remember for all time
Leaving me with tears from farewell eyes
Those precious moments saying last good-byes

And I loved you
But you were never mine

"Make You Feel My Love" de Bob Dylan


When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

"Se Todos Fossem Iguais A Você" de Vinícius de Moraes (para Dª C.)

 
Vai tua vida,
Teu caminho é de paz e amor
Vai tua vida é uma linda canção de amor
Abre os teus braços
E canta a última esperança
A esperança divina de amar em paz


Se todos fossem iguais a você
Que maravilha viver
Uma canção pelo ar,
Uma mulher a cantar
Uma cidade a cantar,
A sorrir, a cantar, a pedir
A beleza de amar
Como o sol,
Como a flor,
Como a luz
Amar sem mentir,
Nem sofrer


Existiria verdade,
Verdade que ninguém vê
Se todos fossem no mundo iguais a você


"Your Song" de Elton John


It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

"We Are Family" de Sister Sledge


We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(fly!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(all!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(high!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(we!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family jewel

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(fly!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(all!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family jewel

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

"Over The Rainbow" de Harold Arlen


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a place that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow why
oh why can't I?
 

"Old Friends" de Everything But The Girl


Not for the first time I look back
on all those years
Not for the last time names will ring
in my ear
When there was just a gang of us
Storming the town by train and bus
A moment of thought this heart sends
to old friends

Not for the first time I look back
on my first love
Unable to speak or think or move
hand in glove
But what of it now and where is he
He who once meant so much to me
Because we are not, I can't pretend
now old friends

I was told love should hold old friends
I was told love should hold od friends
But when you leave you will close the door
behind you
Don't we always
And time won't make amends
to old friends

Standing here with my arm around you
life's moved on
And all its borderlines
are being redrawn
The winter has come the roads are white
Everyone's home late tonight
May we stay or will it depend
as old friends
In the end still old friends
