Blame It On The Samba by The Dinning Sisters, Organist Ethel Smith

If your spirits have hit a new low
And they long to hit a new high
One little musical cocktail
Will lift them to the sky


Mix a jigger of rhythm
With a strain of a few guitars
And a dash of the samba
And a few melodious bars


And then, and then...


You take a small cabassa (chi-chi-chi-chi-chi)
One pandeiro (cha-cha-cha-cha-cha)
Take the cuíca (boom-boom-boom-boom)
You’ve got the fascinating rhythm of the samba


And if guitars are strumming (chi-chi-chi-chi-chi)
Birds are humming (cha-cha-cha-cha-cha)
Drums are drumming (boom-boom-boom-boom)
Then you can blame it on the rhythm of the samba


For there is something ’bout the beat you cling to
That’s the type of song you sing to
That’s the kind of thing you swing to
When you get to bouncing with the beat in your feet


But when you’re bouncing to the beat you’re reeling
With the carioca feeling
But if you want to hit the ceiling
Here is all you have to do


You take a small cabassa [...]


(I didn’t manage to get the rest of the lyrics, but you can watch it on YouTube; Blame it on the Samba.)


> Starring: Donald Duck, José ‘Zé’ Carioca, The Aracuan Bird, Ethel Smith, and voices of The Dinning Sisters.


Amazing, amazing piece of music! The rhythm was cheerful, the lyrics were awakening. A very nice piece for a bluish day! ^^



Cheers,
Lina.

I Believe In You by Il Divo and Celine Dion

Lonely
The path you have chosen
A restless road
No turning back
One day you
Will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go
Be strong


Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you


Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you.


Tout seul
Tu t'en iras tout seul
Coeur ouvert
A l'univers
Poursuis ta quête
Sans regarder derrière
N'attends pas
Que le jour
Se lève


Suis ton étoile
Va jusqu'où ton rêve t'emporte
Un jour tu le toucheras
Si tu crois, si tu crois, si tu crois
En toi
Suis la lumière
N'éteins pas la flamme que tu portes
Au fond de toi souviens-toi
Que je crois, que je crois, que je crois
En toi


Someday I'll find you
Someday you'll find me too
And when I hold you close
I'll know that is true


Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you


Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you.

Glamorous by Fergie

(Are You Ready)


If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
You say: If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S


[B-Section:]
We're flyin' first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I wont change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Chorus:]
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Verse:]
Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shopping for expensive things
I be on the movie screens
Magazines and Poseur scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
I'm no queen, I'm no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive through, raw as hell
I don't care, I'm still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammies
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang


And now I'm in...


[B-Section:]
First class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Chorus:]
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Ludacris:]
I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue what to do with us
I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous
Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Taking trips from here to Rome
So If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
G-G-L-L-A-A-M-M-O-O-R-R-O-O-U-U-S-S, yeah
G-G-L-L-A-A-M-M-O-O-R-R-O-O-U-U-S-S


[B-Section:]
We flyin' first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' the life
In the fast lane
And I won’t change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Chorus:]
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy


[Verse:]
I got problems up to here
I've got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don't want to know
I got money in the bank
And I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank
Thank you really though
Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope
Damn, It's been a long road
And the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy tell me so
He let his daughter know.


(If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home)
My daddy told me so
(I said, If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home)
He let his daughter know
(If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home)
My daddy told me so
(If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home)
He let his daughter know
