Mirage Composer(s): Leon Patillo Performer(s): Santana
I am just a mirage Oh - I am just a mirage when you look at me thru your crystal glass you will see that I am now your past but you give your love to me In your life I wasn't meant to be Oh I am just a mirage Oh I am just a mirage Just a mirage fading away like water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I am just a mirage Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I am just a mirage I am just a mirage But until that day has come When you say I'll be your only one I will live the way it's meant for me With ups and downs and mystery
Over And Over Again Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart Performer(s): Doris Day; and various other artists
Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze At first youll fall, but then A year from now youll do it with ease Over and over and over again A star does not come out of the sky He starts to work at ten To reach the top, you gotta keep trying Over and over and over and over And over and over again
Its up in the morning and down in the ring Acrobat, rider and clown Queen of the wire and aerial king Work or youll forfeit your crown You stick to your trick And your trick will be art Artists are hard-working men After youre perfect, thats when you first start Over and over again, once again, and again Do it over and over again
(Choir) Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze At first youll fall, but then A year from now, youll do it with ease Over and over and over and over again To reach the top you gotta keep trying Over and over and over and over And over and over again Over and over again

Ouvre-Moi La Porte Composer(s): J. Demarny; E. Angulo Macias Performer(s): Enrico Macias
{Refrain:} Ouvre-moi la porte toi qui as la clef De la grande école du monde Ce n'est pas facile de te faire entrer Mais je vais quand même essayer
Tu devras d'abord choisir un bon métier Et le faire avec passion Vivre avec les gens, apprendre à les aimer Sans te faire trop d'illusions Protéger la vie de l'arbre et du ruisseau Te faire des amis parmi les animaux Vivre dans l'espoir et chanter quand il pleut Alors tu seras heureux
{Refrain}
Tu seras soldat non pas pour faire la guerre Du moins j'ose l'espérer Quand tu t'en iras, je suis sûr que ta mère Se cachera pour pleurer Tu découvriras qu'il y a sur la terre Deux hommes sur trois qui sont dans la misère Libre de partir, tu verras mon petit Que rien ne vaut ton pays
{Refrain}
A tous les instants il te faudra choisir Entre le bien et le mal Tu auras souvent l'occasion de souffrir Et d'oublier c'est normal Alors c'est l'amour que tu rencontreras Ce sont des beaux jours tu sais que ces jours-là Et puis un enfant qui te fera vieillir Tendrement viendra te dire
Miracle Of Love Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Eileen Rodgers
A whippoorwill awakens And she tells the golden morn That while the world was sleeping Some new whippoorwills were born Showing the lark and the dove Another miracle of love A bee begins a buzzin' Makin' honey out of dew And roses by the dozen Bloom where flowers never grew Warmed by the sun from above Another miracle of love Yes, I believe in miracles That miracles come true Dear, I believe in miracles Just look at me and you Two strangers in the morning Then two friends this afternoon Now strangers in the morning Are two sweethearts 'neath the moon Close as a hand in a glove Another miracle of love
Ouverts Ou Fermés Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Orchs Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient que toi vide ou occupée ma tête ne pense qu'à toi
à vivre prisonnier mon cur n'aime que toi seule à en pleurer car je ne veux que toi
ouverts ou fermés tes yeux ne me voient pas vide plus qu'occupée ta tête ne pense pas insouciant, léger ton cur s'en vient, s'en va trop sollicité qu'as-tu à faire de moi?
et qu'ai-je à faire de tout si c'est pour moi tout ça et qu'ai-je fait de tout si ce n'est pas pour nous?
tu dois t'en douter mais au fond, tu t'en fous ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient partout qu'à vivre prisonnier mon cur devenu fou cherche sans trouver quelqu'un qui te ressemble

"Mira que eres canalla éso no se hace a quien te quiere bien colegas tanto tiempo y ahora te fugas con esa mujer que soy el Tony, tronco a mí no me vas a enrollar no hay nada como piltra en soledad Juro que no te creo te estás quedando conmigo, ¿verdad? ¿qué te has enamorado? si éso no le pasa ni a un colegial mira que son muy raras, que para ellas el amor es lo que hizo Dalila con Sansón No te lo pienses dos veces haz lo que te pida el alma puede que cambie tu suerte mira que eres canalla La taquicardia, el miedo cuántos momentos de pasarlo mal fue una carnicería aquella guerra por la libertad Qué quieres que digamos, Charlie ni te quiere ver sólo me ha dicho que te folle un pez Después de todo aquello de estar entre la espada y la pared cómo olvidar de pronto aquellos años en Carabanchel... Cómo has caído, Luis, si tú eres un sentimental Serán los malos rollos de la edad No te lo pienses dos veces... Seguro que tu Elisa Es oro puro, macizo y legal molan sus ojos verdes no es cachondeo que son como el mar Lo que sucede es que aunque tenga un jopo a lo Mae West no es fácil que sigamos siendo tres Tu sabrás lo que haces Yo ahora me voy con Charlie al Alphaville que reponen "la huída" la de Sam Peckinpah con Steve McQueen Probablemente luego iremos, a eso de las 10 A ver al Aute que hay nuevo Lp" No te lo pienses dos veces...

Mio Commovente Amor English & French Titles: Quiet Love; Mon Émouvant Amour Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Bob Raggio Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tu vivi nel silenzio, della tua realta' Io guardo gli occhi tuoi, traduco i tuoi sorrisi Interpretando piano, mille discorsi accesi Col tuo linguaggio strano, balletto di una mano
Un ballo commovente, che regoli per me Gesti affascinanti, che sembrano ricami Poi quando con le punte scandisci che mi ami Capisco che mi piace vedere la tua voce
Per dialogare c'e', qualcosa che non va' Io stesso insieme a te, mi sento uno straniero Con l'aggravante che, non c'e' vocabolario Che in tre lezioni insegni, la lingua dei tuoi segni
Tu ridi un po' di me, mi sforzo ma chissa' Maldestro dove sono, le gaffe son cosa mia Non sono stato mai, forte in ortografia Ma ho fretta che parliamo, per dirti che ti amo
Outside Of Heaven Composer(s): Chester Conn; Sammy Gallop Performer(s): Eddie Fisher; Vera Lynn
I pass your house with misty eyes There stands the gate to paradise But you don't hear the heart that cries Outside of heaven
You're happy there with someone new Good luck to him, good luck to you I count the dreams that won't come true Outside of heaven
On your wedding day I stood in the crowd I could hardly keep from crying out loud There goes the kiss my lips have known There goes the love I called my own Why was I meant to walk alone Outside of heaven
(Outside of heaven)
(Outside of heaven)
On your wedding day I stood in the crowd I could hardly keep from crying out loud There goes the kiss my lips have known There goes the love I called my own Why was I meant to walk alone Outside of heaven

Minuit minuit faut qu'j'me sauve Qui peut Oh la la sauve Qui peut m'raccompagner Vous les barbus vous les chauves Qui peut Oh la la chauves Qui peut Qui veut
Pitié pitié J'rent'e chez moi Pauvre petite fille Au s'cours à moi République bastille Ram'nez-moi J'rent'e chez moi C'est tout droit J'rent'e chez moi L'autobus me grise Oui mais là C'est la grève surprise Help à moi C'est tout droit J'rent'e chez moi Oh la la Minuit minuit qui s'décide Personne Besoin que d'une Personne ne veut m'aider C'est un douzième coup d'acide Qui sonne Brûlure d'acide Qui peut Qui veut Qui qui veut Qui qui peut
{mélanger aux phrases de Françoise:} Une seule place dans une seule voiture J'suis pas si grande que ça je l'jure Je n'réclame ni baiser d'adieu Ni dernier verre vertigineux
Pitié pitié Plus J'rent'e chez moi République bastille C'est loin c'est froid Pour une petite fille Ram'nez-moi J'rent'e chez moi C'est tout droit Oh la la
Me quiero enamorar Poder volver a amar Dejar que me domine una pasión Mis labios ofrecer Y un sí dejar correr Hacer lo que me diga la razón Sentir bajo mi piel Que sigo siendo aquel Que puedo seducir como el mejor Vestuario preparar Salir a conquistar Volver a ser don Juan en el amor Y siempre que lo intento es un fracaso más No hay forma de arrancarte del lugar que estás Yo sigo siendo aquel, que sufre de dolor Aquel que está muriendo por tu amor Y aquí me ves amor Tratando de arrancarte de mi corazón Haciendo lo imposible por sobrevivir Luchando para no pensar en ti Y aquí me ves amor Mintiéndome olvidarte para no sufrir Un lado de mi cuerpo que me dice no Y el otro que me esta gritando sí Me quiero enamorar De nuevo despertar Sintiendo que a mi lado está el amor Volver a ser feliz Haciendo cicatriz La herida que tu ausencia me dejó
Outra Vez Composer(s): Isolda Performer(s): Roberto Carlos; and various other artists
Você foi o maior dos meus casos De todos os abraços o que eu nunca esqueci Você foi dos amores que eu tive O mais complicado e o mais simples pra mim Você foi o melhor dos meus erros A mais estranha história que alguém já escreveu E é por essas e outras que a minha saudade Faz lembrar de tudo outra vez
Você foi a mentira sincera Brincadeira mais séria que me aconteceu Você foi o caso mais antigo O amor mais amigo que me apareceu Das lembranças que eu trago na vida Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim Outra vez
Esqueci de tentar te esquecer Resolvi te querer por querer Decidi te lembrar quantas vezes eu tenha vontade Sem nada perder
Você foi toda felicidade Você foi a maldade que só me fez bem Você foi o melhor dos meus planos E o maior dos enganos que eu pude fazer Das lembranças que eu trago na vida Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim Outra vez
On My Own
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager
First release by: Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
So many times Said it was forever Said our love would always be true Something in my heart always knew I'd be lying here beside you On my own On my own On my own
So many promises never should be spoken Now I know what loving you cost Now we're up to talking divorce And we weren't even married On my own Once again now One more time By myself
No one said it was easy But it once was so easy Well I believed in love Now here I stand I wonder why
I'm on my own Why did it end this way On my own This wasn't how it was supposed to be On my own I wish that we could do it all again
So many times I know I should have told you Losing you it cut like a knife You walked out and there went my life I don't want to live without you On my own On my own On my own
I'm on my own Why did it end this way On my own This wasn't how it was supposed to be On my own I wish that we could do it all again
This wasn't how it was supposed to end I wish that we could do it all again I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone On my own, I've got to find where I belong again I've got to learn how to be strong again I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone By myself by myself I've got to find out what was mine again My heart is saying that it's my time again And I have faith that I will shine again I have faith in me On my own On my own On my own
La vida no me tomó nunca en serio Yo por eso me sonrío sin cesar Y debe ser de sabios mi criterio Pues todos me lo quieren ya copiar Sobre todo en amor me resulta mejor Reír, reírme siempre que poder llorar Mentir también me gusta a cada paso Y miento con tan rara perfección Que no tuve hasta ahora ni un fracaso Pues es un novelón mi corazón Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida Que alcanzas la flor del amor Sonriendo pude alejar la tristeza de ti Y mintiendo pude besar tus labios Desde el día en que te conocí Te sonreí y te mentí Decir una mentira con talento, sí Y más de una diablura es un placer Yo pongo tanta verdad cuando las cuento Que a veces me las llego hasta creer El saber engañar, es preciso estudiar Si quieres en el juego del amor ganar Lo malo es que mintiendo tan deprisa, sí Un día yo me llegue a enamorar Y pierda para siempre mi sonrisa Y entonces no lo quiero ni pensar Mintiendo y riendo me paso la vida Mintiendo y riendo el tiempo se olvida Mintiendo y riendo es cosa sabida Que alcanzas la flor del amor Mentir es mejor
