Eu
tenho um segredo pra te revelar
Desde
a primeira vez em que te vi
Mas
eu não sei confessar
Tudo
o que sinto por ti
Algum
dia eu direi
Que
te amo com fervor
E
que não sei viver sem teu amor
Algum
dia eu direi
Ao
beijar os lábios teus
Nunca
mais tu fugirás dos braços meus
Meu
amor
Nesse
dia me dirás
Apertando
a minha mão:
É
teu, amor, só teu o meu coração

Haydée
Mercedes Sosa(San Miguel de Tucumán, 9 de julio de 1935-Buenos Aires, 4 de
octubre de 2009) fue una cantante de música folclórica argentina, considerada
la mayor exponente del folklore argentino. Se la conoció como La Voz de América Latina.
Fundadora
Del Movimiento del Nuevo Cancionero y una de las exponentes de la Nueva canción
latinoamericana. Incursionó en otros géneros como El tango, el rock y el pop.
Se definía a sí misma como «cantora» antes que «cantante», siendo una
distinción fundamental de la nueva canción latinoamericana de la que ella fue
una de las iniciadoras: «Cantante es el que puede y cantor el que debe» (Facundo
Cabral).
Ese
ideal fue expresado por Mercedes Sosa en los títulos de sus álbumes como Canciones
con fundamento y Yo no canto por cantar. Entre las interpretaciones
con que se ha destacado en el cancionero latinoamericano se encuentran «Al
Jardín de la República», «Canción con todos», «Alfonsina y el mar», «Gracias a
la vida», «Como la cigarra», «Zamba para no morir», «Solo le pido a Dios», «La
maza», «Todo cambia», «Duerme negrito», «Calle angosta».
Entre
sus discos se destacaron Canciones con fundamento(1965), Yo no canto por cantar(1966),
Mujeres argentinas(1969), Homenaje a Violeta Parra(1971), Cantata sudamericana(1972),
Mercedes Sosa interpreta a Atahualpa Yupanqui(1977), Mercedes Sosa en Argentina(1982),
Alta fidelidad(1997), su interpretación de la Misa criolla(2000) y Cantora
(2009). Cantora, su último trabajo, lanzado poco antes de su muerte, es un álbum
doble donde interpreta 34 canciones a dúo con destacados cantantes iberoamericanos,
y cierra con el Himno nacional argentino.
Por la blanda arena que lame el mar
Su pequeña huella no vuelve más
Un sendero solo de pena y silencio llegó
Hasta el agua profunda
Un sendero solo de penas mudas llegó
Hasta la espuma
Sabe Dios qué angustia te acompañó
Que dolores viejos calló tu voz
Para recostarte arrullada en el canto de las
Caracolas marinas
La canción que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar
La caracola
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
Una voz antigua de viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá, como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar
Cinco sirenitas te llevarán
Por caminos de algas y de coral
Y fosforescentes caballos marinos harán
Una ronda a tu lado
Y los habitantes del agua van a jugar
Pronto a tu lado
Bájame la lámpara un poco más
Déjame que duerma Nodriza en paz
Y si llama él no le digas que estoy
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Y si llama él no le digas nunca que estoy
Di que me he ido
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
Una voz antigua de viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar.

"What Kind of Fool"
is the title of a vocal duet from 1981 (see 1981 in music) by singers Barbra
Streisand and Barry Gibb. The song was written by Gibb and Albhy Galuten.
The songs on the Guilty album
were a collaboration between Streisand and all the members of the Bee Gees,
including Barry's brothers, Robin and Maurice Gibb. But Barry Gibb played the largest
role of the brothers on the album, co-writing and co-producing all of the
tracks, appearing on the album cover embracing Streisand, and singing two duets
with her. Co-producer Karl Richardson was quoted describing Barry Gibb's
contribution to this song: "He did the demo first. Barbra
sang to the demo, then he came back and replaced a couple of things after he
had heard what she was doing."
Released as the third single
from Streisand's 1980 album Guilty, "What Kind of Fool" was the third
consecutive top ten single from the album in the United States. "Woman in
Love" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the album's
title track(also a duet between the two singers) reached number three, both in
late 1980. "What
Kind of Fool" spent three weeks at number ten on the Hot 100 in March and
April 1981. It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard adult
contemporary chart.
There was a time when we were down
and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated...
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
Wonderin' why
Where will I be tomorrow?
Forever more that's what we are to be
Without each other
We'll be remembering when...
There was a time when we were down and out
We cried...
There was a place when we were starting over
We lied...
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What , what kind of fool
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Oh! Losing you now
How can I win?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Was there a moment when I cut you down?
Played around?
What have I done?!
I only apologize
For being, as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes...
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
Wondering why
Where will I be tomorrow?
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow?

YEAR: 1993
Cure for Pain was the second album released by alternative rockband Morphinethrough Rykodiscin 1993. Original drummer, Jerome Deupree, was replaced by Billy
Conway during the recording of the album.
The tracks "Sheila" and "In Spite
of Me" were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 1994 independent
film Spanking the
Monkey. The
video for "Thursday" also appeared on an episode of Beavis and
Butt-head. The
track "Buena" also appears in the first season of The Sopranosand in the Dariaepisode "The Teachings of Don Jake". In 2014, the album
placed eighth on the Alternative Nation site's "Top 10 Underrated '90s
Alternative Rock Albums" list.
As of 1995 it has sold 107,000 copies in United
States and over 300,000 copies worldwide. As of 2017 combined sales of Cure
for Pain and Yes are 661,000 sold copies in United States.
Morphine was an American alternative
rock group formed by Mark Sandman, Dana Colley, and Jerome Deupree in Cambridge,
Massachusetts in 1989. After five successful albums and extensive touring, they
disbanded in 1999 after frontman Sandman died of a heart attack. Founding
members have reformed into the band Vapors of Morphine, maintaining much of the
original style and sound.
Morphine combined blues and
jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, giving the band an
unusual sound. Sandman sang distinctively in a "deep, laid-back croon",
and his songwriting featured a prominent beat influence. The band themselves
coined the label "low rock" to describe their music, which involved
"a minimalist, low-end sound that could have easily become a gimmick: a
"power trio" not built around the sound of na electric guitar. Instead,
Morphine expanded its offbeat vocabulary on each album.
Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried
And I know you did it all in spite of me
Still I'm proud to have know you for the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be part of your illustrious career
And I know you did it all in spite of me
In spite of me
Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me
