The Taj Mahal ( /ˈtɑːdʒ/ or /ˈtɑːʒ məˈhɑːl/;Hindi: ताज महल, from Persian/Urdu: تاج محل "crown of palaces", pronounced [ˈt̪aːdʒ mɛˈɦɛl]; also "the Taj") is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage.It coveres area about 221 hectare (552 Acres) which include 38 hectare taj mahal and 183 hectare taj protected forest are."
Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
Jorge Ben Jor (born March 22, 1945 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian popular musician. His characteristic style fuses samba, funk, and rock into samba rock, with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter.
Born Jorge Duilio Lima Menezes, he first took the stage name Jorge Ben after his mother's name (of Ethiopian origin) but in the 1980s changed it to Jorge Ben Jor (commonly written Benjor), allegedly in response to an incident where some of his royalties accidentally went to American guitarist George Benson.
Jorge Ben obtained his first pandeiro (Brazil's most popular type of tambourine) when he was thirteen, and two years later, was singing in a church choir. He also took part as a pandeiro player in the blocos of Carnival, and from eighteen years of age, he began performing at parties and nightclubs with the guitar his mother gave him.
It was at one of those clubs in which he performed that his musical career took off. In 1963, Jorge came on stage and sang "Mas Que Nada" (or "no way") to a small crowd that happened to include an executive from the recording company, Philips. One week later, Jorge Ben's first single was released.
Jerry Douglas (born Gerald Calvin Douglas, May 28, 1956 in Warren, Ohio) is an American record producer and resonator guitar player. Called "Dobro's matchless contemporary master," by The New York Times, and lauded as "my favorite musician" by John Fogerty, Douglas is one of the world’s most renowned musicians.
In addition to his thirteen solo recordings, Douglas has played on more than 1600 albums. As a sideman, he has recorded with artists as diverse as Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Phish, Dolly Parton, Paul Simon, Mumford & Sons, Keb' Mo', Ricky Skaggs, Elvis Costello, and Johnny Mathis, as well as performing on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. He has been part of such notable groups as The Whites, J. D. Crowe and the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Strength in Numbers, and Elvis Costello's "Sugar Canes".
As a producer, he has overseen albums by Alison Krauss, the Del McCoury Band, Maura O'Connell, Jesse Winchester and the Nashville Bluegrass Band. Along with Aly Bain, he serves as Music Director of the popular BBC Television series, "Transatlantic Sessions".
João Batista de Sales (born January 19, 1945 in Conselheiro Pena, Minas Gerais), better known as Fio Maravilha, is a former Brazilian football player. In Brazil he played for Flamengo, Paysandu Sport Club, CEUB, Desportiva and São Cristóvão. Later he moved to the United States, where he played for the New York Eagles, the Monte Belo Panthers and San Francisco Mercury.
He is perhaps most famous for the hit single "Fio Maravilha" that was written about him in 1972 by Jorge Ben (later known as Jorge Ben Jor). The musician attended a friendly game between Flamengo and Benfica in the Maracanã stadium. Fio Maravilha was left out of Flamengo's starting lineup by coach Mário Zagallo, but after a chorus of fans demanded that he play, he was brought in as a substitute. After 33 minutes in the second half he scored the goal ("the goal of an angel") that was immortalized in the song:
As the result of a legal dispute between Jorge Ben and Fio Maravilha the title of the song was later changed to "Filho maravilha". In 2007, Fio gave the musician permission to use the name Fio in the title.
Bina Rai (4 June 1936 – 6 December 2009), (Hindi: बीना राय, Urdu: بِن رے), (aka Beena Roy) was a leading actress primarily of the black and white era of Hindi cinema. She is most known for her roles in classics such as Anarkali (1953), Taj Mahal (1963), and won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film, Ghunghat (1960).
Bina Rai born as Krishna Sarin. Bina Rai lived in Kanpur until she moved out for acting. She had to convince her parents to allow her to act in films, she claimed that she went on a hunger strike in order to convince her disapproving parents to let her join films, and they finally relented.
Bina Rai was a first year student of Arts in the Isabella Thoburn College of Lucknow in 1950[citation needed], when she came across an advertisement for a talent contest, she applied and received a call from the sponsors. Although she had been active in college dramatics, a film career was never within her field of vision. Nevertheless she went Bombay, to participate in the contest where she won along with the 25,000 rupees in prize money[dubious – discuss] a leading role in Kishore Sahu's 'Kali Ghata' (1951), which became her film debut, and also featured Kishore Sahu in the lead role .

And that sweet gospel music, oh how it used to comfort me
I spent last summer on an island
In the Mediterranean Sea
The sunshine was so bright
Yes you know it burned me down
To my soul
I wish everybody
That I had to love was there with me
What a time, baby what a time

Mmm, mm, oo, mm

The Calypsonians were all gathered together
Singin' such a mournful tune
I don't know if it was in the summer time
It could be the month of May or June
Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', over, over, over, over lovin' you
I do believe to my soul
I'm going to take across the deep blue sea
Like my friend Carlos on the Hokule'a down to old Fiji
I love you baby, now you love me deepest
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Oh, I'm over, can't get over lovin' you
I said, love me baby, baby love me, love me
Love me, love me through and through
Love me in the sunshine, darling and from moon to moon
Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', over, over lovin' you
If you love me like you say you love me
Love me like you say you do
Love me baby, in the sunshine, love me from moon to moon
Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over, over, over lovin' you

Rabbit run a quarter mile
That poor little furry bunny scared like a baby child
Believe me baby, now you love me the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', lovin' over, lovin' over you
The Calypsonians were all gathered together

When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', lovin' lovin', lovin', lovin', baby, lovin' you

Texas woman to satisfy my soul
You know my baby is sweet as honey
Sweet from the honey bee

Jives on this song
Got love for ten women
But the one woman on my mind
She don't treat me like no stranger
She treat me nice and kind
She don't worry about the neighbors
'Cause they might not like what they see
She could care less about what they sayin'
She's a woman and she's absolutely free
I wish I was down there in Texas
Swingin' on a steady roll
I'd love that San Antonio woman
To satisfy my soul
I'd love that San Antonio woman
To satisfy my soul

I found her number, and the note she wrote
Deep in the pocket, of a real old coat
It just got by me some way
I'm having a real bad day
Said she was all moved in and her apartment,
sure looked fine
Suggested I come by, and see her some time
Said all her fixtures were new, and I'll turn them on for you
She said I get home at a quarter to six
I'll be waiting for your call
I'll fix you something, I'm sure your gonna love
but we don't have to, we don't have to eat at all
that's one of the problems, of life on the road
little notes like this ain't got no area code
I don't know what else to say
I'm having, a real bad day
I don't know what to say

You know my way girl, I've learned my lesson
Girl, I can see you cry
Don't tell me baby

Annie's lover was a big ol' man
He was a farmin' man
Never spent much time worry 'bout the peoples
In the big, big city
'Cause all he did know about was the cows and the chickens
The pigs and the horses and the sheeps and the goats and the ducks
They fly
Sat on the hillside, playin' his guitar
Watchin' the whole thing
Come down in a harmony
Well, Annie's lover was a big ol' man
He was a African man
He walked around and looked and saw and saw everything
That his eyes could see
'Cause all he did know about was the cows and the chickens
The pigs and the horses and the sheeps and the goats and the trees
And the water and the fields and the mountains
And the blue skies and the big clouds and the ducks they fly
He sat on the hillside, playin' his guitar
Watchin' the whole thing
Come down in a harmony
Oh, Annie's lover was a big ol' man
He was a farmin' man
Never spent much time worry 'bout the peoples
In the big, big, big city

The pigs and the horses and the sheeps and the goats
And the big, big mountains and the blue skies and the water
And the big trees and the grass and the ducks they fly
He sat on the hillside, playin' his guitar
Watchin' the whole thing

Oh, rollin' on, oh, rollin' on
I know the desert cant hold all the love
That I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet honey youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her
This country has a great history of railroads
You know, goin' from one place to another
And some of our country's finest citizens lived across the tracks
It was no big thing but the railroad had a lot to do with it
You probably wondering about what I'm talking right now
I'm talkin' about a lady named Elizabeth Cotton
She wrote this song a long time ago when she was a young girl
She's still playin' guitar today and I'm gonna sing a few lines for you
We love you Elizabeth, love you Elizabeth
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
Won't you tell me where I'm goin'?
When I die bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut street
Tell all the people that I've done gone
And where I've gone I just don't know
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
The woman I love, I took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
You better come on in my kitchen, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Looking for a good friend, none can be found
And the time's comin', it's goin' to be so
I know the desert could hold all the love that i feel in my heart for you
Just like the ocean that started to roll, my love it could be coming to you
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours, it wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better than indescribable
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you were, darling, they would shut up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is, they'd pack up and fly away
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
I'm itchy
And I don't know where to scratch
Come here baby, scratch my back
I know you can do it, so baby get to it

This little girl sho' knows how'd scratch
Now, you're doin' the chicken scratch
It's lookin' good baby
Just gettin' scratch

Follow the drinking gourd
When the great big river meets the little river
Follow the drinking gourd

If you follow the drinking gourd
When the sun comes back and the first quail cries
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

I was dreamin' 'bout my TV Mama, the one with the big, wide screen
She got great big eyes and little bitty feet and in the waist, she's so nice and neat
She's my TV Mama, one with the big, wide screen
Every time she loves me, man, she makes me scream
She just taste like candy, boys, I really go for sweets,

Yeah, she's my TV Mama, one with the big, wide screen
Every time she loves me, oh yes, I'm bound to scream

Well just I'm rollin' and tumblin', man, I'm talkin' all out of my head
I pulled out of Pittsburgh an I rolling down the eastern seaboard
I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like she never did before
There's a speed zone ahead all right, I don't see a cop in sight
Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight
I got ten forward gears and a sweet Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passing everything in sight
Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight
It seems like a month since I kissed my baby bye bye
I got a lot of woman but I'm not like some of the guys
Got my air horns running clear
Baby you oughta watch the way I shift my gears
Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight
ICC is checking on down the line
Honey you know I'm a little overweight and my log books way behind
But nothing bothers a soul at night, I can dodge them scales all right
Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight
My rigs a little old but it don't mean she's slow
There's a good flame coming from her smokestack and the smoke's black as coal
My home town coming in sight, if you think I'm happy baby baby baby your right
Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go, go, go
Leavin' just your picture behind, baby
I kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your fingers and wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to your apron string, baby
And there's nothing that I can't do
Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
Honey I'm not tryin', I've tried
But every time I see your face, baby
Oh, I get all choked up inside
When I call your name
Girl, it starts the flame
Burnin' in my heart, tearin' me apart
No matter how I try, my love I cannot hide
Sugarpie honeybunch
[Incomprehensible] I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugarpie honeybunch
Honey, I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
Well my room has got two windows
The sunlight never comes through
I'm so sad and lonely, baby
Since I broke off baby with you
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl, since you said you're through
Now I feel so sad and blue
It's all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
My pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to livin' alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Girl, since you said we're through
And I feel so sad and blue
You know it's all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I live on a lonely avenue
Though you failed at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will mend your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time its time its time you felt like that again
There is just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again and love at last
Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me with disbelief
You say for you there's no relief
But girl I swear it won't do you no harm
Don't sit there in your lonely room
Just looking back inside that gloom
Mama that's not were you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green
And everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen
Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind
Though you failed at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will mend your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time its time its time you felt like that again
There is just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again and love at last
Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

Hello Josephine, how do you do?
Do you remember me baby?
Like I remember you
You used to laugh at me and holler
Woo, woo, woo
I used to walk you home
I used to hold your hand
You used to use my umbrella
Every time it rained
You used to cry so much
It was a cryin' shame
You used to live over yonder
By the railroad track
When it rained you couldn't walk
I used to tote you on my back
Now you try to make believe
It was a thrill at that
Hello Josephine, how do you do?
Do you remember me baby?
Like I remember you
You used to laugh at me and holler
This next song is a funny little song
About snow in the desert
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You can ride a great big pink Cadillac to church on Sunday
You can hang around the house with your old lady on Monday
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Man I don't care what in the world that you do
As long as you do what you say you going to
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, I know some of you cuties
You real fine cuties, you go stepping downtown
Just to hang around
Standing on the corner
So the fellows will stare and say
"Oh, ain't she sweet?"
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You can walk downtown in your birthday suit
I can see you coming out of the Bank Of America with a whole lotta loot
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, you know that cocaine's for horses now it ain't for men
The doctors said it'll kill me but they didn't say when
Ain't nobody's business but your own
Now, you know sometime I put on my straw hat
And my stripe pants, my spanz baby
You know I'm not going trucking downtown
Standing on the corner so the fellas can stare and say
Hey man, ain't you the brother in the '57 mercury
With the turnpike skirts and the chrome reverse wheels
The white wall tires and lights running the skirts
Was painted lime green with reversible lights in place
With windows that you can see out, can nobody see in
With four on the floor, 745 horsepower and a big stereo
Listening to Wolfman Jack say, "Ain't this X C I B, baby"
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but your own, but my own
Come on now let's try it, one, two, three
Now, champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Sing it now
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Once again
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Gonna move up to the country
Paint my mailbox blue
Gonna move up to the country

And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand
In the welfare line
I've got your love

And we're gonna make it
We may not have a home
To call our own
But we're gonna make it

The car may be old
Our two rooms cold

Brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all of the time

You're a mighty mean woman, to do me this a way

When I leave this town, pretty mama, I'm going away to stay
While I loved a woman, better than even I'd ever seen

Sort of a three way story

All I was gettin' over
Havin' both cakes and eatin' them too

If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up
If you were a good woman
I would never have to roam
If you were a good woman
I would never have to roam
I'd give up drinking whiskey and I would always stay at home
River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea
Why you ain't no good woman
A mystery to me
River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea
And like a fish has got to swim, you've got to make a fool out of me
If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bull dog bark
He was barkin' at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore that he threw an eight
Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat
Stagger Lee went home
And he got his forty four
Said, I'm gonna to the bar
Just to pay that debt I owe
Blew them, six
Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee
Stagger Lee went to the bar room
And he stood across the bar room door
Said, now, nobody move
Then he pulled his forty four
Stagger Lee, cried Billy
Ohh, please don't take my life
I've got three little children
And a very sickly wife
Well, Stagger Lee shot Billy
Ohh, he shot that poor boy so bad
So the bullet came through Billy
And it broke the bartender's glass
Hate that thing on most hands
Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee

Strong enough for me to be realer train
Or a bus or a plane, to me they all the same
Building my own lane, couldn't knock it down with a crane
I'm from a place where homicides are achievements
And even though gun violence can cause a little grieving
Niggas look up to it like it's the pleasure reagent
Hand over your heart like red fox, stanching working they socks
Hiding off from the cops,
Just to escape poverty for that house in that drop
We all trap, tryina find a way
On the corner moving yay all day and all night
So cold, jesus piss on my chain got frostbite
Veo con ojos soberbio
No hay verbo artículos o
Adjetivos no tengo Proverbios
No hay palabras que describan tan imponente
Fuerza amor profundo esta presente
Es todo lo que humildemente puedo ofrecerte
Capto canales voy trasgrediendo rayos catódicos
Elemento entre a través de la pantalla
Voy desvaneciendo.
Esta canción es para ti
Este lugar también.
Para ti que me mantienes en el espacio
Poco a poco estallando este palacio
Cada piedra cada columna
Cada pieza impregnada de tu ardiente belleza
La mano del destino señala mi camino
No presumiré es sencillo este castillo es poco
Pero llevo trabajo duro tiene sentimiento grande
Simplemente puro che.
Esta canción es para ti
Este lugar también
Espejo de agua reflejan lo que ciento
En menté, cuerpo, corazón, cien por ciento
Nunca lo he dudado en ningún momento
Late el iluminadle sentimiento
Puedo verlo en tus ojos complacientes
Grande maravilla eternamente
Por siempre…
