Ooh La La Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Ron Wood Performer(s): Rod Stewart; and various other artists
Poor old Grandad I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways They'll trap you then they use you before you even know For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger
The can-can such a pretty show Will steal your heart away But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey They come on strong and it ain't too long For they make you feel a man But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again (joana)
When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are If you want some more then she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way, ooh la la
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger
Mi Vida Es Cantar Composer(s): Victor Daniel Performer(s): Celia Cruz
Cantar para mi, es cómo ser dueña del universo poder expresar con mi voz lo que llevo por dentro Hacerles a ustedes sentir sensaciones grandiosas y en siete notas conjugar cantando muchas cosas Y cuando la magia de algún son invade poco a poco el corazón me envuelvo con su ritmo sabroson y el sentimiento Siento los cueros repicar y mi cuerpo no cesa de bailar dejándome llevar por el compás que bien me siento
Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro Cantando yo viajo al mundo brindándole sentimiento Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro Tres amores tengo dentro de mi alegre corazón Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro Cuba bella, el son la rumba y mi cabecita de algodón Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro Lo que soy, es la gracia de Dios Su amor me dio este talento que te brindo con mi voz, con mi voz
Ooh I Do Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue
The high school dance began at eight but mum and dad said don't be late They never ever seem to understand, I'm not the little girl they think I am .....they think I am
Ooh, Ooh I Do Oh yes I do love you Ooh, ooh I do Oh yes I do wo wo wo no no no no no no
I know for you it's just the same, and if we're young we're not to blame They don't believe in teenage love affairs They'll never know how much we really care .....we really care
Ooh, Ooh I Do Oh yes I do love you Ooh, ooh I do Oh yes I do wo wo wo no no no no no no
Mi Vida Es Amor Composer(s): Victor Rafael Cordero Performer(s): Javier Solís
Mi vida es amor, amor que me devora el alma mi vida es amor, calor, fulgor de la mañana Pájaros, flores, montañas y nubes de plata una carreta de paja perdida hacia allá
Mi vida es cantar, soñar con todas mis canciones Reír y llorar de amor al ver caer el sol Y en la noche a la orilla del mar las estrellas ponerme a contar Mi vida es amor, amor, amor
Y en la noche a la orilla del mar las estrellas ponerme a contar Mi vida es amor, amor, amor

Ooo la la la la I did you wrong my heart went out to play But in the game I lost you What a price to pay, hey I'm crying

Oh, You Crazy Moon Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey and multiple other artists
When they met, the way they smiled I saw that I was through Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do? And when they kissed, they tried to say that it was just in fun Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done
Once you promised me, you know, that this could never end You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend There they are -- they fell in love I guess you think you're smart Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
It was just a night like this when it happened I was such an unsuspecting soul And I couldn't quite believe that it happened Til it got beyond control
Well, there they are, they fell in love; I guess you think you're smart Oh, you crazy moon, oh, you crazy moon Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
Mi Vida Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Si algo tengo de valor, es mi vida mi parcela de ilusión, mi vida porque siento y sé soñar porque ya aprendí a volar y es, mi vida, yo la viviré Bailaré al son que dé, mi vida y daré por la verdad, mi vida Seré pobre o soñador, vagabundo o vividor y es, mi vida, yo la viviré No quiero promesas ni a quien las aplica yo vivo tan solo, mi vida solo grito, solo lucho porque necesito, mi vida todo lo que siento y soy, es mi vida todo lo que tengo hoy, es mi vida Seré pobre o soñador, vagabundo o vividor y es, mi vida, yo la viviré
Ooga Sha La Bango Composer(s): Glenn Burtnick; Marshall Crenshaw Performer(s): The Sides
When I first saw my baby she was dancing hot and fast But I was in a corner with my leg in a cast When I met her I impressed her Said, "I'm a heavy dancin' guy once my leg isn't so broken", even tho it was a lie She just said
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense 2. I just hope the girl forgets 3. This is all you're gonna get
Well, anyway, I watched her through the night Then I gave her a ride and we stopped in at a diner Before I got her home we had fallen in love and it couldn't have felt any finer
My baby likes to boogie to the dancin' sounds. I was born with two left feet She thinks I can swing to the disco thing but I just can't get it She keeps saying
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense 2. I just hope the girl forgets 3. This is all you're gonna get
I wanted to keep my cast on longer but the doctor said it was time Now I watch Soul Train and American Bandstand but I just ain't got no rhythm I can't keep time
(girl): What will you say when you learn the day there's no way you can live to be the man of her dreams
(answer): I'll just say Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah Koko gris gris gumbo naya
1. And it didn't make no sense 2. I just hope the girl forgets 3. This is all you're gonna get
Mi Vedevo Già English & French Titles: It Will Be My Day; Je M'voyais Déjà Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
A diciott'anni la mia provincia grigia Abbandonai deciso ad arrivar Portavo via più sogni che valigie Deciso a conquistar la gran città Presi così dal sarto più di nome L'abito blu, ch'era una novità E tra foto, canzoni ed orchestrazioni I miei risparmi son finiti là Mi vedevo già sopra ai manifesti Col mio nome grande Più grande di chi non importa chi Mi vedevo già, grande fra i modesti E firmavo foto, stringevo mani Di qua e di là Il più grande dei grandi fantasisti Ed ogni successo la gente in piedi Acclamava me Mi vedevo già elencare in liste Chi poteva a turno per una sera Abbracciarsi a me Certo sto invecchiandomi Sempre in questi panni Ma la voce è là, frutto d'esperienza E di capacità Sono inacidito un po' Col passar degli anni Però del mestiere ho tante idee Che non tradirò Non domando che di calcar la scena Ogni volta il cuore Davanti aL pubblico batterà Non ho avuto mai un po' di fortuna Non han mai capito Che ho del talento Ma io ne ho L'abito blu Trent'anni che lo porto Le mie canzoni far ridere solo me Ogni scrittura mi butto a corpo morto E sopravvivo chi lo sa com'è Conosco solo trionfi raccontati Viaggi di notte e dame demodè Miserabili paghe, valigie e tourné Con pasti magri e scalcinati hotel Mi vedevo già in fotografia In inverno ai monti, l'estate al mare Con qualche star Raccontare già la mia biografia Per i debuttanti con l'aria magica Di chi sà Ogni mia prémiére era una marea Mille telegrammi dal temutissimo Tout Paris, superato il crac Di quella platea, ritornavo in scena Fra i proiettori a cantare il bis Ho tentato tutto ormai Per venire avanti Ho provato il serio, ho provato il comico E l'éclaqué, se ho sbagliato tutto E resto in mezzo ai tanti Non è colpa mia, è colpa di Chi non mi ha capito mai L'occasione a me l'hen negata in tanti Altri son riusciti, avranno i soldi Ma voce no. Ero troppo bravo Ho vent'anni avanti, ma verrà Quel giorno che il mio talento Dimostrerò

Onze Wereld Composer(s): Jimmy Frey Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Een herfst met kracht, een wintersterk Een lentelied, een zomernacht Een hart dat klopt, een kind dat lacht Een hand die reikt, een moederhart Een boom die groeit, een bloem die geurt Het gras is groen, een tuin die bloeit Een zee die bruist, de branding tiert Een meeuw die roept, een storm die giert
Dit is dan de kracht die de wereld biedt Een hemelse kracht, nee verloochen het niet
Een donderslag - een bliksemschicht En kijk de regen valt uit 't felle licht Een berg gekleed in sneeuwtapijt Een waterval die naar rivieren glijdt Een zon die gloeit, een ster die wacht Op 't maanlicht dat de nacht verzacht
En dan een hemel blauw Een gouden strand Waar jij en ik Lopen hand in hand
Mi tierra Tiene palmeras Como la tierra caliente ¡Mi tierra!
Mi tierra Tiene montañas Mitad fuego, mitad nieve ¡Mi tierra!
Mi tierra tiene su sol El mismo sol que tu tierra Mi tierra tiene su voz Que ruge si se la encierra ¡Mi terra! ¡Mi terra!
Dime de qué tierra vengo Dímelo tú, buen amigo Tierra de la que no tengo Más que polvo del camino Más que polvo del camino
Mi tierra Tiene naranjos y tres mares que la besan ¡Mi tierra!
Mi tierra tiene una flor Como cualquier tierra tiene La flor de la libertad que no se pudre ni muere ¡Mi terra! ¡Mi terra!
Dime de qué tierra vengo Dímelo tú, buen amigo Tierra de la que no tengo Más que polvo del camino Dime de qué tierra vengo Dímelo tú, buen amigo Dime de qué tierra vengo Yo, si quieres te lo digo Yo, si quieres te lo digo
Coro
Dime de qué tierra vengo Dímelo tú, buen amigo
Voz
Si sientes lo que yo siento ¡Ven y canta conmigo! ¡Ven y canta conmigo!
Only You Know And I Know Composer(s): Phil Collins; Daryl Stuermer Performer(s): Phil Collins
We know you really only want to hear The things we like to say But if I said to you please don't do it You do it anyway Sometimes I know, we got to be cruel Be cruel to be kind When I ask you, what you see in me You say our love is blind Cause only you know and I know The things we mean to say Only you know and I know The things we mean to say Whenever I think I know you better Better than I know myself I open up and give you everything Then you say, OK what else And when I run away you always cry You always over react But I don't know if you know how you really feel But you better know before I get back Cause only you know and I know The things we mean to say Only you know and I know The things we mean to say Just try to remember Now I'm the one you love You told me, ooh try to remember I'm the one you're always thinking of You told me, please try to remember Before I walk away Remember It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday Cause only you know and I know The things we mean to say Only you know and I know The things we mean to say Only you know and I know The things we mean to say, yes Only you know and I know The things we mean to say Only you know and I know...
Mi Tenampa Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez and various other artists
Cuál cariño es el que dices que te dí con toda el alma cuando abriste tú conmigo la persiana del Tenampa Tú que sabes de parrandas tú que entiendes por pasiones tú cuando oyes un mariachi ni comprendes sus canciones Parranda y Tenampa mariachi, canciones así es como vivo yo Tú que sabes de la vida de la vida entre las copas tu pa'ser mi consentida necesitas muchas cosas Yo me paro en la cantina y a salud de las ingratas hago que se sirva vino pa'que nazcan serenatas Y una vez yo bien servido voy al rumbo del Tenampa ahí me agarro a mi mariachí y a cantar con toda el alma Parranda y Tenampa mariachi, canciones así es como vivo yo
Only You Know And I Know Composer(s): Dave Mason Performer(s): Delaney & Bonnie; and various other artists
Only you know and I know All the love that we've got to show So don't refuse to believe it By reading too many meanings
Cos you know that I mean what I say So don't go and ever take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way Cos if you do it's gonna get you someday
I appear to be pleasin' Oh no no not deceivin' But it's hard to believe it Aw, yeah when you been so mistreated
Cos you know that I mean what I say So don't go and ever take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way Cos if you do it's gonna get you someday
If I seem to mislead you It's just my craziness comin' through But when it comes down to just two Aw I ain't no crazier than you
Cos you know that I mean what I say So don't go and ever take me the wrong way You know you can't go on gettin' your own way Cos if you do it's gonna get you someday
Mi Sombra En La Pared Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos; Porque No
Llegando a casa estoy y sé que todo será igual Ir a mi habitación subir la radio hasta explotar soñar estar tocando en una banda de rock'n roll soñar que todo el mundo está escuchando, menos vos
Bailo, bailo hasta caer con mi sombra en la pared nada que perder bailo con mi sombra en la pared
Puedo no ser feliz lo que no admito es no intentarlo, serlo veo en el porvenir tu chicle aún pegado en mí Soy como un bebé de Hiroshima como un Rolling Stone Puedo perder todo en un día por amor
Bailo, bailo hasta caer con mi sombra en la pared nada que perder bailo con mi sombra en la pared
Cuando no pueda más voy a salir de aquí para empezar de nuevo sin dejar de bailar no me voy a entregar volver a entrar en el juego
Bailo, bailo hasta caer con mi sombra en la pared nada que perder bailo con mi sombra en la pared
Bailo con mi sombra Bailo con mi sombra Bailo con mi sombra en la pared
