Aqui, neste mesmo lugar
Neste mesmo lugar de nós dois
Jamais poderia pensar
Que voltasse sozinha depois
O mesmo garçom se aproxima
Parece que nada mudou
Porém qualquer coisa não rima
Com o tempo feliz que passou
 
Por uma ironia cruel
Alguém começou a cantar
Um samba-canção de Noel
Que viu nosso amor começar
 
Só falta agora a porta se abrir
E ele ao lado de outra chegar
E por mim passar
Sem me olhar
Só falta agora a porta se abrir
E ele ao lado de outra chegar
E por mim passar.

Deixa desaguar tempestade
Inundar a cidade
Porque arde um sol dentro de nós
Queixas sabes bem que não temos
E seremos serenos
Sentiremos prazer no tom da nossa voz...
 
Veja o olhar de quem ama
Não reflete um drama, não
É a expressão mais sincera, sim
Vim pra provar que o amor
Quando é puro desperta e alerta o mortal
Aí é que o bem vence o mal
Deixa a chuva cair,
que o bom tempo há de vir...
 
Quando o amor decidir mudar o visual
Trazendo a paz no sol
Que importa se o tempo lá fora vai mal
Que importa...
 
Se há tanta lama nas ruas
E o céu é deserto e sem brilho de luar
Se o clarão da luz
Do teu olhar vem me guiar
Conduz meus passos
Por onde quer que eu vá
Se há...

        Rosa María Ferrando Galiana, más conocida como Carmen Morell (Barcelona, 13 de enero de 1923 - Valencia, 27 de enero de 2015), fue una cantante de copla y actriz española.
        Hija de Vicente, nacido en Almansa, Albacete, y Pilar, valenciana, emigrantes en Cataluña. Su padre trabajaba en los muelles de Barcelona, era muy aficionado al flamenco y la animaba a cantar con él en algunas reuniones familiares. Eran cuatro hermanos y ella empezó a dedicarse a la canción siendo aún adolescente, alternando con la humilde tarea de repostera. Con el tiempo llegaría a dominar varios géneros, como la zarzuela, cuplé, jota y, sobre todo, el folclore español y la copla andaluza, en esto iniciándose según el modelo de Concha Piquer. En 1944 realizó sus primeras actuaciones teatrales con un pequeño papel en la comedia “Noventa y nueve mujeres contra tres hombres”. Ese mismo año se formó la compañía de artistas juveniles “Caras Nuevas” en la que Carmen hacia versiones de altos de Concha Piquer y que la llevó de gira por Andalucía y Madrid. En 1946 formó pareja artística con Pepe Blanco para el espectáculo Alegría, que dirigió Salvador Videgain García, con música de los maestros Quintero, León y Quiroga. Junto a Pepe Blanco grabó cerca de 30 canciones, participó en espectáculos y protagonizó tres películas. Tuvo con él un apasionado romance, pero hubo de soportar las infidelidades de él. También soportaría la desigual retribución en cuanto a la parte artística, que Pepe Blanco justificaba al basarse en su propia y superior popularidad. La pareja, que fue una de las más populares del mundo del espectáculo, se disolvió en 1961.
        El éxito de Carmen Morell y Pepe Blanco sobre el escenario tuvo su traslado al cine en tres películas: La mujer, el torero y el toro(sobre la obra de Alberto Insúa, dirigida por Fernando Butragueño, 1950), Amor sobre ruedas(Ramón Torrado, 1954) y Maravilla(Javier Setó, 1957).
        José Blanco Ruiz, más conocido como Pepe Blanco, fue un cantante español.
          Nació en Logroño(La Rioja), en la típica calle de la Rúa Vieja, el 19 de marzo de 1911. En su juventud fue carretero, trabajó en Madrid de chófer y más adelante fue taxista en la localidad riojana de Cenicero, donde se casa en 1935 con Rosa María Sistiaga, oriunda de La Rioja. En los años posteriores a la Guerra Civil Española se hizo popular imitando a Pepe Marchena en el Café Ibiza, popular establecimiento logroñés, hoy en día aún existente, lo que le hizo ganarse el apodo de Marchenita.
         En el año 1944 grabó su primer disco y en 1946 formó su primera compañía como empresario en la obra Alegría, junto con la cantante Carmen Morell, con la cual formó pareja artística durante muchos años, separándose en 1961, fecha en la que se traslada a vivir a Madrid con su mujer y sus dos hijos.
      Grabó más de 150 canciones, 30 de ellas con Carmen, y participó en media docena de películas. Tras su separación como pareja artística, actuó con gente tan destacada como Juanito Valderrama, Rafael Farina o Antonio Molina.
        En 1980 se le dedicó una avenida con su nombre en Logroño, falleciendo al año siguiente, el 17 de diciembre de 1981 en Madrid y siendo enterrado en su ciudad natal. Uno de sus hijos heredó el nombre del padre, así como su nieto y su bisnieto.

Es pagar las deudas, para todos un deber'
Dí.. lo que te debo y en el acto pagaré…
No querrás pagarlo pero yo lo he de cobrar…
Si no confiesas.. que deudas es esa, no te la podré pagar…
 
Hay.. Que me debes un beso… No te lo perdono
Me debes un beso.. me lo cobraré…
No me exijas eso, que un beso se ofrece
Y si lo merece, te lo brindaré.
Me debes un beso.. no puedes negarlo…
Si puedo pagarlo, te lo pagaré.
 
Es virtud sublime, no exigirle a una mujer
Yo no exijo nunca, y aun ganando se perder
Con ganas del beso yo lo tengo que pagar…
Si te violenta pagar la cuenta,
yo me quedo sin cobrar'
 
me debes un beso.. No te lo perdono
Me debes un beso.. me lo cobraré…
No me exijas eso, que un beso se ofrece
Y si lo merece, te lo brindaré.
Me debes un beso.. no puedes negarlo…
Si puedo pagarlo, te lo pagaré.

      Whitney Elizabeth Houston(August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. Nicknamed "The Voice", she is one of the bestselling music artists of all time, with over 200 million records sold worldwide. In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked her second on their list of the greatest singers of all time. Houston influenced many singers in popular music, and was known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills. She is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from "Saving All My Love for You" in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988. Houston also enhanced her popularity upon entering the movie industry. Throughout her career and posthumously, she has received numerous accolades, including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, and 28 Guinness World Records. Houston has also been inducted into the Grammy, Rhythm and Blues Music, and Rock and Roll halls of fame.
         Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston(1985) and Whitney(1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight(1990), yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need".
         Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody is a 2022 American biographical musical drama film directed by Kasi Lemmons, from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten, based on the life and career of American singer and actress Whitney Houston. The film stars Naomi Ackie as Houston with Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams, and Clarke Peters in supporting roles.
     An authorized biopic on Houston's life was announced in early 2020, with Ackie cast in the lead role that December, and the rest of the cast signing on later the next year. Produced on a $45 million budget, filming took place in Massachusetts and New Jersey from August to December 2021.

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
 
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
 
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
 
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
 
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
 
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
 
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free.

MARIAH CAREY
SONGWRITER: Mariah Carey; Steven Jordan; Mohandas Dewese; Malcolm Mclaren; Stephen Hague; Kammaal Fareed; Morgan Robinson; Larry Price;Ronald Larkins & Sean Justin Combs
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: BUTTERFLY
LABEL: COLUMBIA RECORDS
GENRE: POP
YEAR: 1997
 
          Mariah Carey(/məˈraɪə/; born March 27, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records, she is noted for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, improvisation skills, her signature use of the whistle register, and songwriting. Carey is famous for the enduring popularity of her holiday music, particularly the 1994 song "All I Want for Christmas Is You", and she has been dubbed the "Queen of Christmas". Carey rose to fame in 1990 with her debut album Mariah Carey. She was the first artist to have their first five singles reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions". An inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, she is credited for inspiring several generations of pop and R&B artists, and for merging hip hop with pop music through her crossover collaborations.
       Carey's self-titled debut album was released under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola in 1990, and the two married in 1993. She gained further worldwide success with the albums Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995). Their singles include "Hero", "Without You", "Fantasy", "Always Be My Baby", and "One Sweet Day", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 decade-end chart (1990s) and was the longest running number one song of the decade. After separating from Mottola, Carey adopted a new urban image and incorporated more elements of hip hop with the album Butterfly(1997). She left Columbia in 2001 after eleven consecutive years of US number-one singles and signed a $100 million record deal with Virgin Records.
        Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on September 10, 1997, by Columbia Records. The album contains both hip hop and urban adult contemporary sounds, as well as some softer and more contemporary melodies. Throughout the project, Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she had written and produced most of the material from her previous albums. She also worked with many famed hip hop producers and rappers, such as Sean "Puffy" Combs, Q-Tip, Missy Elliott and the Trackmasters. With the latter acts producing most of the album, Butterfly deviated from the adult contemporary sound of Carey's previous albums.
       With Butterfly, Carey continued the transition that began with previous album, Daydream(1995), which pushed her further into the R&B and hip hop market and away from the pop background of her previous work. Carey was able to reflect her creative maturity and evolution in the album's writing and recording. Carey writes in the booklet of her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel(2009), that she considers Butterfly her magnum opus and a turning point in both her life and career.

Always strung out for another taste of your honey

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
 
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
 
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
But it's all coming back
 
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever (Forever)
 
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
 
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
 
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me now
 
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
 
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we.

DEEP PURPLE

LABEL: PURPLE RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1973
 
       Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, but their musical approach has changed over the years. Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies". They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
     Who Do We Think We Are is the seventh studio album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 1973. It was Deep Purple's last album with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover until 1984’s Perfect Strangers.
       Musically, the record showed a move to a more blues-based sound, even featuring scat singing. Although its production and the band's behaviour after its release showed the group in turmoil, with frontman Gillan remarking that "we'd all had major illnesses" and felt considerable fatigue, the album was a commercial success. Deep Purple became the top-selling U.S. artist in 1973. The album featured the energetic hard-rock single "Woman from Tokyo," a live staple of the band's since the album's release.

Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
 
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
 
But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light
 
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
 
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me.

ANO: 1970
 
       Vicentina de Paula Oliveira, conhecida como Dalva de Oliveira, (Rio Claro, 5 de Maio de 1917 – Rio de Janeiro, 30 de Agosto de 1972) foi uma consagrada cantora, e compositora brasileira de ascendência portuguesa, sendo considerada uma das mais importantes cantoras do Brasil e dona de uma voz poderosa, marcando época como intérprete.
      Nascida em 5 de maio de 1917, em uma família humilde na cidade de Rio Claro, interior de São Paulo, era filha de um carpinteiro mulato chamado Mário de Paula Oliveira, conhecido como Mário Carioca, e da portuguesa Alice do Espírito Santo Oliveira. Em 1935, Vicentina de Paula Oliveira mudou-se com a família para o Rio de Janeiro, em busca de uma vida melhor. Frequentava o Cine Pátria, onde conheceu seu primeiro namorado, Herivelto Martins, que formava ao lado de Francisco Sena o dueto Preto e Branco; foi terminado o dueto e nascia o Trio de Ouro. Iniciaram um namoro e, em 1936, com um ano de namoro, Dalva protagonizou um escândalo familiar, pois saiu de casa solteira, para viver com o namorado, ainda oficialmente casado: Os dois alugaram uma casa e iniciaram uma convivência conjugal. Herivelto ainda era casado no civil com sua ex-esposa, e a união deles só pôde ser regularizada em 1937, quando saiu o desquite dele. O matrimônio foi realizado somente no cartório, e comemorado em um ritual de umbanda, na praia, já que esta era a religião de Herivelto, embora Dalva fosse católica. A união gerou dois filhos: Os cantores Peri Oliveira Martins, o Pery Ribeiro, e Ubiratan Oliveira Martins. A União durou até 1947, quando as constantes brigas, traições, crises violentas de ciúmes e humilhações por parte de Herivelto deram fim ao casamento.

Vê, estão voltando as flores
