Surprise Party

Across time and place, women have been the muses of countless artists. For our Surprise Party at the end of the WAP’s Great International Online Conversation, we have chosen a few musical gems: a variety of songs that will have you twirling. 

We invite you to choose one and only one – the one that sings to you the most – and interpret it in your own unique way. Not the whole song, just a short extract, to be chosen from a selection we offer.

How long ? About 40 seconds.
Before what date? 7th of March.
It will join those we have received to form a fabulous medley, a virtual and living dance floor, multilingual and multirhythmic…just like this one!

The lyrics of the extract 

Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça
É ela, menina, que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado, do Sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

The lyrics of the extract 

Como cada noche desperté
Pensando en ti
Y en mi reloj todas las horas vi pasar
Porque te vas
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo
Me olvidarás
Me olvidarás

Junto a la estación hoy lloraré igual que un niño
Porque te vas
Porque te vas

Gloria
(Gloria)
Chiesa di campagna

Acqua nel deserto

Lascio aperto il cuore

Scappa senza far rumore
Dal lavoro del tuo letto
Dai gradini di un altare
Ti aspetto Gloria

Ella, elle l’a
Houhou houhou hou houhou
Ce j’n’sais quoi
Que d’autres n’ont pas
Qui nous met dans un drôle d’état
Ella, elle l’a (elle l’a)
Ella, elle l’a
Houhou houhou hou houhou
Cette drôle de voix
Cette drôle de joie
Ce don du ciel qui la rend belle

The lyrics of the extract 

And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

The song :

L’extrait : de 0:00 à 1:00

The lyrics of the extract 

Elles portent un blouson noir
Elles fument le cigare
Font parfois un enfant
Par hasard
Et dès que vient le soir
Elles courent dans le néant
Vers des plaisirs provisoires
Où sont les femmes ?
Avec leurs gestes pleins de charme
Dites-moi où sont les femmes
Femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes
Où sont les femmes?
Qui ont des rires pleins de larmes
Auraient-elles perdu leur flamme
Flamme, flamme, flamme, flamme
Où sont les femmes ?

The lyrics of the extract 

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Así es María, blanca como el día
Pero es veneno si te quieres enamorar

Un pasito pa’lante María
Un, dos, tres
Un pasito pa’ atrás (aunque me muera ahora, María)

The lyrics of the extract 

Datemi un martello
Che cosa ne vuoi fare?
Lo voglio dare in testa
A chi non mi va, sì, sì, sì

A quella smorfiosa
Con gli occhi dipinti
Che tutti quanti fan ballare
Lasciandomi a guardare
Eh, eh, che rabbia mi fa
Um, um, che rabbia mi fa

The lyrics of the extract 

Hum hum hum hum
Minha força não é bruta 
Não sou freira, nem sou puta

Porque nem toda feiticeira é corcunda
Nem toda brasileira é bunda
Meu peito não é de silicone
Sou mais macho que muito homem

The extract : from 0:37 to 1:20 

The lyrics of the extract 

Se dice de mí

Se dice que soy fiera, que camino a lo malevo
Que soy chueca y que me muevo con un aire compadrón
Que parezco Leguízamo, mi nariz es puntiaguda
La figura no me ayuda y mi boca es un buzón

Si charlo con Luis, con Pedro o con Juan
Hablando de mí los hombres están
Critican si ya la línea perdí
Se fijan si voy, si vengo o si fui
Se dicen muchas cosas, mas si el bulto no interesa
¿Por qué pierden la cabeza ocupándose de mí?
