TRUE GRIT

(do filme "Bravura Indômita")

(Elmer Bernstein)

One day, little girl, the sadness will leave your face
As soon as you've won the fight to get justice done
Someday little girl you'll wonder what life's about
But other's have known few battles are won alone
So, you'll look around to find
Someone who's kind, someone who is fearless like you
The pain of it will ease a bit When you find a man with true grit

One day you will rise and you won't believe your eyes
You'll wake up and see, A world that is fine and free
Though summer seems far away
You will find the sun one day

 

WEST SIDE STORY

(Leonard Bernstein)

 "Tonight, Tonight "

Maria:
Only you,
you're the only thing i'll see forever.
In my eyes,
in my words and in everything i do,
nothing else but you ever

Tony:
And there's nothing for me but Maria,
every sight that i see is Maria.

Maria:
Tony, Tony...

Tony:
Always you, every thought I'll ever know,
every where I go,
you'll be. (All the world is only you and me!)
you and me

Maria:
Tonight, tonight, it all began to night
I saw you and the world went away
tonight, tonight,
there's only you tonight,
what you are what you do, what you say.
Today, 
all day i had the feeling a miracle would happen
i kno now i was right
for here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight!

Tony and Maria:
Tonight, tonight, 
the world is full of light,
with suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight, the world is wild and bright,
going mad shooting sparks into space.
Today, 
the world was just an address,
a place for me to live in,
no better than all right,
but here you are,
and what was just a world is a star
Tonight....

Tony and Maria:

...Goodnight, goodnight
sleep well and when you dream,
dream of me
tonight

MY FAIR LADY

(Libreto de Alan Jay Lerner / Músicas de Frederick Loewe)

"I Could Have Danced All Night"

 Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep! Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night! 
It's after three now. 
Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed. 
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night! 
I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep. 
I could have danced all night,
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings,
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced, danced,
danced All night!

"On the Street Where You Live"


 When she mentioned how her aunt bit off the spoon,
She completely done me in.
And my heart went on a journey to the moon,
When she told about her father and the gin.
And I never saw a more enchanting farce
Than that moment when she shouted
"move your bloomin' "....
I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

HENRY MANCINI

(Cleveland, Ohio / 1924- Los Angeles, California /1994)

Charade

Vocal: Andy Williams (parada Billboard em 100o. lugar em 1964)
Letras de Johnny Mercer e Música de Henry Mancini
do filme de 1964 "Charada" estrelando Cary Grant e Audrey Hepburn


When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade

Moon River

  • Escrito por Johnny Mercer e Henry Mancini em 1961

Moon River
(Mancini/ Mercer)

Moon river, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day.

Old dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world, to see.

We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' 'round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend, moon river,
And me

THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES

(Mancini / Mercer)

 The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you-oo-oo
 

DREAMSVILLE
(Mancini)
 
I'm in Dreamsville
Holding you
A dreamy view
Just we two alone in love
In Dreamsville
Time is new
We're here to love
And we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us
From our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring
Hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away
And here we love
Here we'll stay

BORN FREE

(John Barry / Don Black)

site John Barry (a Life in Music)

Born free
As free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free
And beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at the stars

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free
 

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

Artista: B.J. Thomas

(de "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid") 

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his
Bed, nothing seems to fit. Those
Raindrops keep falling on my head
They keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things
Done, sleep in' on the job, those
Raindrops keep falling on my head
They keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know, the blues they sent to meet me
Won't defeat me, It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning
Red, crying's not for me, 'cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free, nothing's worryin' me.

IT MIGHT BE YOU

(de "Tootsie")

(Dave Grusin / Alan Bergman / Marylin Bergman)

Time, I’ve been passing time
Watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand
Watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something’s telling me it might be you
It’s telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking passed
All of my life
Wondering how they met
And what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something’s telling me it might be you
It’s telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And with so much love to make
I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it’s telling me it might be you
All of my life

I’ve been saving love songs and lullabies
And there’s so much more
No one’s ever heard before
Something’s telling me it might be you
Yeah it’s telling me it might be you

And I’m feeling it’ll just be you
All of my life
It’s you
It’s you
I’ve been waiting for
All of my life

Maybe it’s you (it’s you)
Maybe it’s you (it’s you)
I’ve been waiting for
All of my life
 

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

(John Barry / Leslie Bricusse)

 

vocal: Nancy Sinatra

You Only Live Twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is its name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

GOLDFINGER

(John Barry / Leslie Bricusse / Anthony Newley)

vocal: Shirley Bassey

Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

He loves only gold. Only gold
He loves gold. He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

(Murden / Miller)

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dream come true
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I've got love
I know I can make it
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me
