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
(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
