Feel The Breeze Composer(s): Graham Russell Performer(s): Air Supply
Since I met you How can I notice if the sky is blue or grey But here I am Standing outside looking into a cloudy day This must be the time for reflection My direction is not quite clear Now I feel the air is colder Now I feel that winter's here
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
I feel the breeze, I feel dejected I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong Winter's here, and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold Brother sun, you cast a shadow now I need my lonely role
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter

Canción Del Adios Composer(s): Horacio Guarany Performer(s): Horacio Guarany and multiple other artist
Te digo adiós y acaso te quiero todavía no sé si he de olvidarte pero te digo adiós no sé si me quisiste no sé si te quería o tal vez nos quisimos demasiado los dos Este cariño mío apasionado y loco me lo sembré en el alma para quererte a ti no sé si te amé mucho no sé si te amé poco pero sí sé que nunca volveré a amar así Me queda tu sonrisa grabada en el recuerdo y el corazón me dice que no te olvidaré pero al quedarme solo sabiendo que te pierdo quizás comience a amarte como jamás te amé Te digo adiós y acaso con esta despedida mi más hermoso sueño muera dentro de mi pero te digo adiós para toda la vida aunque toda la vida siga pensándo en ti
Feel The Benefit Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart Performer(s): 10 cc
You went out on the street without your shoes on You didn't listen to what your momma said She said you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit And if we all went out without our shoes on Tell me where would we be, where would we be
If all the people in the world lost their reason What would we see, where would we be If all the entertainers in the world lost their music What would they play, what could they say To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves Won't feel the benefit
You're like a cloud behind the sun Like the face behind the clown You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown And you can never look back A leaf that's borne upon the wind A cardboard suitcase in your hand The wanderer soon returns And finds the colour of the grass is just the same On the other side of the tracks, oh no
A Latin Break
Ooh when you smile it's like a holiday Ooh pack your bags and we can get away We'll float on a Queen down to Rio There's no need to shave We'll be stinking like rum in a punch
You can walk on the water You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo You can smoke a little ganja Float like a cloud over Rio, Rio You can ride with the Gauchos Swinging your bolas in a red bandana You can run with the devil Taking your chances with Señorita
You can drink a lot of coffee in Brazil But the bill is gonna make you ill
Feel The Benefit
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances But if you do, you better do it right Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit Spin the wheel and take your chances And your number might come up Though the odds may be in favour of the house
If all the people in the world would say together We're all black and white, we're all day and night If all the people in the world could sing together How would it sound, what would we feel
The Big Blue Sky Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David Performer(s): Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain Gonna fly fly away over the sea Gonna keep flying around and never never come down 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee One thing they got in common they want no part of me Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth So I'll leave them all behind yesiree
(Gonna fly fly away over the mountain) (DM) Mountain (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet And we'll harmonize a barbershop too
(Both) Gonna fly fly away over the mountain (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain Gonna fly fly away over the sea Gonna keep flying around and never never come down 'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be Gonna fly away over the sea Yes the big blue sky is the place for me
Canción De Navidad
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El fin de año huele a compras enhorabuenas y postales con votos de renovación y yo que sé del otro mundo que pide vida en los portales me doy a hacer una canción La gente luce estar de acuerdo maravillosamente todo parece afín al celebrar Unos festejan sus millones otros la camisita limpia y hay quien no sabe qué es brindar
Mi canción no es del cielo las estrellas, la luna porque a ti te la entrego que no tienes ninguna
Mi canción no es tan sólo de quien pueda escucharla porque a veces el sordo lleva más para amarla
Tener no es signo de malvado y no tener tampoco es prueba de que acompañe la virtud pero el que nace bien parado en procurarse lo que anhela no tiene que invertir salud
Por eso canto a quien no escucha a quien no dejan escucharme a quien ya nunca me escuchó al que su cotidiana lucha me da razones para amarle a aquel que nadie le cantó
Mi canción no es del cielo las estrellas, la luna porque a ti te la entrego que no tienes ninguna
Mi canción no es tan sólo de quien pueda escucharla porque a veces el sordo lleva más para amarla
Feel So Good Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Baby mine feel so good all the time if you would
the girl knows how to love both night and day she knows how to feel so fine all over in every way
ain't no lie if you go I won't die sure won't grow
sit 'round running numbers sit 'round with my friends wasting time now, watching the sky waiting for the story to end until she sets me free with her motion rolls me 'round
like the ocean I can't wait to get some more of what the girl's got to give living without her's like loving a wall and that ain't no way to live
The Big Beat Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew - Fats Domino Performer(s): Fats Domino; The Del Vikings; Jimmy Cavallo
The big beat keep you rocking in your seat The big beat keep you rocking in your sleep Clap your hands and stomp your feet You got to move when you hear this beat The big beat keep you rocking in your seat
Old grandpa, just made eighty years old Man he's crazy 'bout this rock 'n' roll The big beat get in your soul Make you jump and make you roll Old grandpa, just made eighty years old
Peg-Leg Joe threw his crutches away The big beat make you act this way Come on gang, let's swing and sway The big beat make you act this way Peg-Leg Joe threw his crutches away
The big beat keep you rocking in your seat The big beat keep you rocking in your sleep Clap your hands and stomp your feet You got to move when you hear this beat The big beat keep you rocking in your seat
La Canción De Los Horneros Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui - Romildo Risso Performer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
En la cumbrera'e mi rancho anidaron dos horneros y yo parezco un extraño y el rancho parece de ellos Dentro solo, salgo solo siempre solo voy y vengo juntos los hallo en el campo y el campo parece de ellos
Juntos trabajan y cantan y tuito lo hacen contentos yo no sé si a mi me miran con lástima o con desprecio
Ni se asustan cuando paso como si yo fuera un perro que ni estorbo ni hago daño y me dejan andar suelto
Ansina vivo en mi rancho dende que solo me veo enantes otro era el nido y el mundo parecía nuestro
¡Rogále a Dios, hornerito que no te pase lo mesmo!

The Big Battle Composer(s): Johnny Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash
I think sir the battle is over And the young soldier laid down his gun I'm tired of running for cover I'm certain the bottle is done For see over there where we fought them It's quiet for they've all gone away All left is the dead and the dying The Blue laying 'long side the Gray
So you think the battle is over And you even lay down your gun You carelessly rise from your cover For you think the battle is done Now boy hit the dirt, listen to me For I'm still the one in command Get flat on the ground here beside me And lay your ear hard to the sand
Can you hear the deafening rumble Can you feel the trembling ground It's not just the horses and wagons That make such a deafening sound For every shot fired had an echo And every man killed wanted life There lies your friend Jim McKenney Can you take the news to his wife
No, Son, the battle's not over The battle has only begun The rest of the battle will cover The part that has blackened the sun The fight yet to come's not with cannon Nor will the fight be hand to hand No one will regroup the forces No charge will a general command
The battle will rage in the bosom Of mother and sweetheart and wife Brother and sister and daughter Will grieve for the rest of their lives Now go ahead, rise from your cover Be thankful that God let you live Go fight the rest of the battle For those who gave all they could give
I see, Sir, the battle's not over The battle has only begun The rest of the battle will cover This part that has blackened the sun For though there's no sound of the cannon And though there's no smoke in the sky I'm dropping the gun and the sabre And ready for battle am I
Canción De Invierno Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Es día de frío y llegas a casa vienes de la tarde cansada de un jueves los muebles tu perro y millones de ojos están como siempre esperando tu vuelta en la que presientes que nada ha cambiado te espera lo mismo, el sueño a pasado
Recoges tu pelo tan libre en la tarde quizás porque alguien nunca lo vio preso te sientas y cenas y todas las culpas te dan con un peso mayor que tus fuerzas y pugnan tus ojos y esta tarde loca hasta que eres débil y tapas tu boca
Cuando todo pasa te crees segura mientras con tus horas revuelves cenizas presientes muy dentro pasiones prohibidas no importa mentirse para ser felices hasta que un deseo se meta en tu lecho mas ¿qué estás pensando? te tapas el pecho
Pero necesitas quedar bien con todo todo que no sea bien contigo misma la angustia es el precio de ser uno mismo mejor ser felices como nuestros padres y hacer de la lástima amores eternos hasta que a la larga te tape el invierno

Canción De Cuna Para Un Hombre Viejo Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Ya tiene la voz de bronce Ya tiene las manos viejas Ya fueron muchos caminos Caminos que dejan huella Ya es hora que usted descanse Ya es hora que yo le duerma Con una nana, nanita Duérmase tranquilo Tranquilo, tranquilo Duérmase mi viejo Que ya su hijo Le está durmiendo Le está durmiendo Ya fueron muchos los días De luchas, de amor y ausencia Ya fueron muchas las noches Con el corazón alerta Ya es hora que usted descanse Ya es hora que yo le duerma Con una nana, nanita Duérmase tranquilo Tranquilo, tranquilo Duérmase mi viejo
