Come away with me in the night
Come away with me and I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies

And I wanna walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me and I'll
Never stop loving you

And I wanna wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night
Come away with me.

Io come un albero nudo senza te
Senza foglie e radici ormai
Abbandonata così
Per rinascere mi servi qui

Non c'è una cosa che non ricordi noi
In questa casa perduta ormai
Mentre la neve va giù
È quasi Natale e tu non ci sei più

E mi manchi, amore mio
Tu mi manchi come quando cerco Dio
E in assenza di te
Io ti vorrei per dirti che
Tu mi manchi amore mio
Il dolore è forte come un lungo addio
E l'assenza di te
È un vuoto dentro me

Perché di noi è rimasta l'anima
Ogni piega, ogni pagina
Se chiudo gli occhi sei qui
Che mi abbracci di nuovo così

E vedo noi stretti dentro noi
Legati per non slegarsi mai
In ogni lacrima tu sarai
Per non dimenticarti mai

E mi manchi, amore mio
Così tanto che ogni giorno muoio anch'io
Ho bisogno di te
Di averti qui per dirti che

Tu mi manchi, amore mio
Il dolore è freddo come un lungo addio

E in assenza di te
Il vuoto è dentro me

Tu mi manchi, amore mio
E mi manchi come quando cerco Dio
Ho bisogno di te
Di averti ancora qui con me

E mi manchi, amore mio
Così tanto che vorrei seguirti anch'io
E in assenza di te
Il vuoto è dentro me

Grido il bisogno di te
Perché non c'è più vita in me

Vivo in assenza di te
In assenza di te.
HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN
MUDDY WATERS

GENRE: CHICAGO BLUES
YEAR:1988

McKinley Morganfield(April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), known professionally as Muddy Waters, was an American blues singer-songwriter and musician who was an important figure in the post-war blues scene, and is often cited as the "father of modern Chicago blues". His style of playing has been described as "raining down Delta beatitude".
Muddy Waters grew up on Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi, and by age 17 was playing the guitar and the harmonica, emulating the local blues artists Son House and Robert Johnson. He was recorded in Mississippi by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941. In 1943, he moved to Chicago to become a full-time professional musician. In 1946, he recorded his first records for Columbia Records and then for Aristocrat Records, a newly formed label run by the brothers Leonard and Phil Chess.
In the early 1950s, Muddy Waters and his band—Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Elga Edmonds(also known as Elgin Evans) on drums and Otis Spann on piano—recorded several blues classics, some with the bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon. These songs included "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "I'm Ready". In 1958, he traveled to England, laying the foundations of the resurgence of interest in the blues there. His performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960 was recorded and released as his first live album, At Newport 1960.
Muddy Waters' music has influenced various American music genres, including rock and roll and rock music.
The British band The Rolling Stones named themselves after Muddy Waters' 1950 song "Rollin' Stone". Jimi Hendrix recalled that "I first heard him as a little boy and it scared me to death". The band Cream covered "Rollin' and Tumblin'" on their 1966 debut album, Fresh Cream. Eric Clapton was a big fan of Muddy Waters while growing up, and his music influenced Clapton's music career. The song was also covered by Canned Heat at the Monterey Pop Festival and later adapted by Bob Dylan on his album Modern Times. One of Led Zeppelin's biggest hits, "Whole Lotta Love", is based on the Muddy Waters hit "You Need Love" (written by Willie Dixon). "Hoochie Coochie Man", was covered by Allman Brothers Band, Humble Pie, Steppenwolf, Supertramp and Fear. In 1993, Paul Rodgers released the album Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters, on which he covered a number of his songs, including "Louisiana Blues", "Rollin' Stone", "(I'm your) Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I'm Ready" in collaboration with guitarists such as Gary Moore, Brian May and Jeff Beck. Angus Young, of the rock group AC/DC, has cited Muddy as one of his influences. The AC/DC song title "You Shook Me All Night Long" came from lyrics of the Muddy Waters song "You Shook Me", written by Willie Dixon and J. B. Lenoir. Earl Hooker first recorded it as an instrumental, which was then overdubbed with vocals by Muddy Waters in 1962. Led Zeppelin also covered it on their debut album.
In 1981 ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons went to visit the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale with The Blues magazine founder Jim O'Neal. The museum's director, Sid Graves, brought Gibbons to visit Waters original house, and encouraged him to pick up a piece of scrap lumber that was originally part of the roof. Gibbons eventually converted the wood into a guitar. Named Muddywood, the instrument is now exhibited at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale.
Following his death, fellow blues musician B.B. King told Guitar World magazine, "It's going to be years and years before most people realize how greatly he contributed to American music."John P. Hammond told Guitar World magazine, "Muddy was a master of just the right notes. It was profound guitar playing, deep and simple... more country blues transposed to the electric guitar, the kind of playing that enhanced the lyrics, gave profundity to the words themselves."

Muddy Waters' songs have been featured in long-time fan Martin Scorsese's movies, including The Color of Money, Goodfellas, and Casino. A 1970s recording of his mid-'50s hit "Mannish Boy" was used in the films Goodfellas, Better Off Dead, Risky Business, and the rockumentary The Last Waltz. In 1988 "Mannish Boy" was also used in a Levi's 501 commercial and re-released in Europe as a single with "(I'm your) Hoochie Coochie Man" on the flip side.
The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
You got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
Gonna make pretty womens
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny conkeroo
I'm gonna mess with you

Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
That I'm the hoochie coochie man
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

On the seventh hour
Of the seventh day
Of the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don't you mess with me
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here.
QUEM ME VÊ SORRINDO
CARTOLA
COMPOSITOR: CARTOLA
PAÍS: BRASIL
ÁLBUM: CARTOLA
GRAVADORA: DISCOS MARCOS PEREIRA
GÊNERO: SAMBA
ANO: 1974

Angenor de Oliveira, mais conhecido como Cartola OMC(Rio de Janeiro, 11 de outubro de 1908—Rio de Janeiro, 30 de novembro de 1980), foi um cantor, compositor, poeta e violonista brasileiro. Tem como maiores sucessos, as músicas As Rosas não Falam e O Mundo É um Moinho.
Considerado por diversos músicos e críticos como o maior sambista da história da música brasileira, Cartola nasceu no bairro do Catete, mas passou a infância no bairro de Laranjeiras. Tomou gosto pela música e pelo samba ainda menino e aprendeu com o pai a tocar cavaquinho e violão. Dificuldades financeiras obrigaram a família numerosa a se mudar para o morro da Mangueira, onde então começava a despontar uma incipiente favela.
Na Mangueira, logo conheceu e fez amizade com Carlos Cachaça—seis anos mais velho—e outros bambas, e se iniciaria no mundo da boêmia, da malandragem e do samba. Com 15 anos, após a morte de sua mãe, abandonou os estudos—tendo terminado apenas o primário. Arranjou emprego de servente de obra e passou a usar um chapéu-coco para se proteger do cimento que caía de cima. Por usar esse chapéu, ganhou dos colegas de trabalho o apelido "Cartola". Junto com um grupo de amigos sambistas do morro, Cartola criou o Bloco dos Arengueiros, cujo núcleo em 1928 fundou a Estação Primeira de Mangueira. Ele compôs também o primeiro samba para a escola de samba, "Chega de Demanda". Os sambas de Cartola se popularizaram na década de 1930, em vozes ilustres como Araci de Almeida, Carmen Miranda, Francisco Alves, Mário Reis e Sílvio Caldas.
Em 1974, aos 66 anos, Cartola gravou o primeiro de seus quatro discos-solo e sua carreira tomou impulso de novo com clássicos instantâneos como "As Rosas não Falam", "O Mundo É um Moinho", "Acontece", "O Sol Nascerá"(com Elton Medeiros), "Quem Me Vê Sorrindo"(com Carlos Cachaça), "Cordas de Aço", "Alvorada" e "Alegria". No final da década de 1970, mudou-se da Mangueira para uma casa em Jacarepaguá, onde morou até a morte, em 1980. 
Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração

O pranto que eu verti por este amor, talvez
Não compreendeste e se eu disser não crês
Depois de derramado, ainda soluçando
Tornei-me alegre, estou cantando

Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração

Compreendi o erro de toda humanidade
Uns choram por prazer e outros com saudade
Jurei e a minha jura jamais eu quebrarei
Todo pranto esconderei

Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração.
