Todo Es Mentira Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Me armé de corazas hasta los dientes y de eso que llaman valor de héroe Para no amainar el paso hacia una meta en la que nunca me empeñé Después de caer setecientas veces logré que el contrario perdiera un poco el pie y en vez de sentirme henchido por la hazaña me preguntaba "porqué" para responderme: no lo sé Todo es mentira menos tú y si lo fueras, te lo suplico, miénteme bésame y dime: todo es mentira menos tú Me quise creer algunas promesas que hablaban de cosas que había que cambiar la fe, que era escasa, apenas tuvo tiempo de acercarse a algún altar Cambiaron las cosas pero al contrario siguiendo las reglas del juego malabar salieron de la chistera gatos rosas grises, malvas, a cazar al primer ratón dispuesto a hablar Todo es mentira menos tú... No sé que sentido tiene la vida ni que coincidencia separa el bien del mal no sé si este cuerpo que me encierra nace de algo mas que un mineral De lo que no tengo ninguna duda es de que cometo el pecado original cuando cada noche el cuerpo que me ofreces no es una estatua de sal sino del paraíso terrenal Todo es mentira menos tú...
I Dreamed A Dream Adapted from: J'avais Rêvé D'une Autre Vie - 1980 Composer(s): Claude-Michel Schonberg; Alain Boublil; Jean-Marc Natel; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Patti LuPone - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
There was a time when men were kind Their voices were soft And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And that song was exciting
There was a time, and it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in days gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dreamed he'd come to me That we would live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be So diff'rent from this hell I'm living So diff'rent now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
Jesus, It's Me Again Composer(s): Dick Damron Performer(s): Charley Pride; and various other artists
Lately Lord, I almost feel like dyin' Wake up like a child slowly cryin' Sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' I can't find the strength to carry on
Jesus it's me again Down on my knees again Asking you please again Reach out your hand
Jesus it's me again Down on my knees again Asking you please again Reach out your hand
Time to time I try to find a reason To talk to you from time to time before But this time Lord Your Will is my command And I know I just can't take it anymore
Jesus it's me again Down on my knees again Asking you please again Reach out your hand
Jesus it's me again Down on my knees again Asking you please again Reach out your hand
Me desperté eran casi las 6 me di vuelta y quise besarte los pies di contra el suelo
Te fui a buscar en cada habitación me di cuenta que ya no estabas allí lo habías hecho de nuevo
Todo el mundo quieto y nadie saldrá herido devuélvanme a mi amor
Uno piensa que el amor es eterno que todo consiste en un poco de mimos palabras y juegos todo es tan fugaz, todo es tan virtual que lo que hoy vemos bien, mañana está mal y lo desconocemos
Todo el mundo quieto y nadie saldrá herido devuélvanme a mi amor
Todo el mundo... yo que creía ser tu perfecta droga yo era tu daga y tu flor devuélvanme a mi amor
Desayuné, saque el perro a pasear me propuse olvidar por un rato y todo, todo fue en vano
Empecé a correr me subí a la torre más alta de ésta ciudad y con fuego escribí con las manos
Todo el mundo quieto y nadie saldrá herido devuélvanme a mi amor devuélvanme a mi amor devuélvanme a mi amor...
I Dream Of You Composer(s): Marjorie Goetschius; Edna Osser Performer(s): Johnny Mathis and multiple other artists
You're completely unaware, dear, that my heart is in your hand So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?
I dream of you more than you dream I do How can I prove to you this love is real? You mean to me more than you mean to be You just can't seem to see the way I feel
When I am close to you the world is far away The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so more than you'll ever know More than you dream I do, I dream of you
I want you so more than you'll ever know More than you dream I do, I dream of you
Jesus Was A Capricorn Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; and various other artists
Jesus was a capricorn He ate organic food He believed in love and peace And never wore no shoes
Long hair, beard and sandles And a funky bunch of friends Reckon we'd just nail him up If he came down again
Chorus: 'cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on Who they can feel better than at any time they please Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
Eggheads cussing rednecks cussing Hippies for their hair Others laugh at straights who laugh at Freaks who laugh at squares
Some folks hate the whites Who hate the blacks who hate the klan Most of us hate anything that We don't understand
Todo Acabó Composer(s): Fernando Z. Maldonado Performer(s): Javier Solís
Qué soledad ha dejado en mi alma tu amor comprendiendo que no puede ser ni debe seguir así Tanto vivir en tus brazos un mundo de amor más la cruel realidad ya llegó y todo se terminó
Es inútil no te puedo hacer feliz pues las leyes me lo exigen sin piedad el destino se interpone entre tú y yo triste verdad Todo acabó, en mi pecho se ahogó mi penar ya mi alma se muere sin ti y digo este adiós: amor
Es inútil no te puedo hacer feliz pues las leyes me lo exigen sin piedad, el destino se interpone entre tú y yo triste verdad Todo acabó, en mi pecho se ahogó mi penar ya mi alma se muere sin ti y digo este adiós: amor
I Dream Of Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair (aka Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair) Composer(s): Stephen Foster Performer(s): Glenn Miller and multiple other artists
I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air I see her tripping where the bright streams play Happy as the daisies that dance on her way
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er Oh! I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair Floating, like a vapor, on the soft, summer air
I long for Jeannie with the day dawn smile Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile I hear her melodies, like joys gone by Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain Wailing for the lost one that comes not again Oh! I long for Jeannie, and my heart bows low Never more to find her where the bright waters flow
I sigh for Jeannie, but her light form strayed Far from the fond hearts round her native glade Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone
Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore While her gentle fingers will cull them no more Oh! I sigh for Jeannie with the light brown hair Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air
Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley (Traditional) Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Andy Griffith
You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself
Now mother walked that lonesome valley Now mother walked, she walked it by herself Well there ain't nobody else could ever walk it for her She had to walk it, she had to walk it by herself
You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself
Now father walked that lonesome valley Now father walked it, he walked it by himself Nobody else could walk it for him Well he had to walk it, he had to walk it by himself
You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself
Now John was a baptist He was some folk say he was a Jew He wrote that holy holy bible The bible tells you, it plainly tells you That he was, that he was a preacher too
You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself
You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself
Todo A Pulmón Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner and multiple other artists
Que difícil se me hace mantenerme en este viaje sin saber a dónde voy en realidad si es de ida o de vuelta si el furgón es la primera si volver es una forma de llegar
Que difícil se me hace cargar todo este equipaje se hace dura la subida al caminar esta realidad tirana que se ríe a carcajadas porque espera que me canse de buscar
Cada nota cada idea cada paso en mi carrera y la estrofa de mi última canción cada fecha postergada la salida y la llegada y el oxígeno de mi respiración y todo a pulmón todo a pulmón
Que difícil se me hace mantenerme con coraje lejos de la transa y la prostitución Defender mi ideología buena o mala pero mía tan humana como la contradicción
Que difícil se me hace seguir pagando el peaje de esta ruta de locura y ambición un amigo en la carrera una luz y una escalera y la fuerza de hacer todo a pulmón
I Dream Of Brownie With The Light Blue Jeans Composer(s): Stephen Foster; Sol Meyer; Spike Jones Performer(s): Spike Jones
I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans She is as sweet as liquorice jelly beans I dream of Brownie and with passion I burn For of all the smiles I've seen there's none like her'n When my nights are lonely and go from bad to worse Brownie sings to me and I thrill to her verse She makes me happy and she makes me feel merrier Brownie is my favour-ite black haired terrier
I love Brownie better than Jeannie, Jeannie I love Brownie better than Jeannie without the hair I will not forget, forget the night I called I looked for Jeannie's light brown hair And found that she was bald
I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell) She is so (pop) that I could almost (car horn) I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell) Ev'ry time I look at her I (grunt, grunt, grunt) Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I could almost (car horn) Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I (gil-ulp, gil-ulp, gulp) I dream of Jeannie with the (bell, ascending whistle, Neigh) Jeannie is my queenie, for I love her so
Jesus The Missing Years Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine
It was raining it was cold West Bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old So he packed his bags and he headed out To find out what the world's about He went to France he went to Spain He found love he found pain He found stores so he started to shop But he had no money so he got in trouble with a cop
Kids in trouble wiht the cops from Israel didn't have no home So he cut his hair and moved to Rome It was there he met his Irish bride And they rented a flat on the lower east side Of Rome Italy that is Music publishers, book binders, bible belters Swimming pools, orgies and lots of pretty Italian chicks
Charley bought some popcorn Billy bought a car Someone almost bought the farm But they didn't go that far Things shut down at midnight At least around here they do Cause we all reside down the block inside At 23 skidoo
Wine was flowing so were beers So Jesus found his missing years He went to a dance and said, "This don't move me" So he hiked up his pants and he went to a movie On his thirteenth birthday he saw 'Rebel Without a Cause' He went straight on home and invented Santa Claus Who gave him a gift And he responded in kind He gave the gift of love and went out of his mind
You see him and the wife wasn't getting along So he took out his guitar and he wrote a song Called 'The Dove Of Love Fell Off The Perch' But he couldn't get divorced in the Catholic Church At least not back then anyhow Jesus was a good guy he didn't need this shit So he took a pill with a Coca-Cola and he swallowed it He discovered the Beatles He recorded with the Stones Once he even opened up a three way package For old George Jones
The years passed by like sweet little days With babies crying pork chops and Beaujolais When he woke up he was seventeen The world was angry the world was mean Why the man down the street and the kid on the stoop All agreed that life stank all the world smelled like poop Baby poop that is the worst kind
So he grew his hair long and threw away his comb And headed back to Jerusalem to find mom, dad and home But when he got there the cupboard was bare Except for an old black man with a fishing rod He said, "Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?" Jesus said "God" Oh my God what have I gotten myself into? I'm a human corkscrew and all my wine is blood They're gonna kill me Mama, they don't like me Bud
So Jesus went to heaven and he went there awful quick All them people killed him and He wasn't even sick So come and gather around me my contemporary peers And I'll tell you all the story Of Jesus ... the missing years
Todo A Mi Favor Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Siempre preocupado, como sin destino igual que un marinero recién embarcado siento como cantan el Ave María las viejas del barrio allá en las casillas cara de ladrón, ropa muy antigua como un extranjero en su propia quinta abre la ventana la rubia lijera pero ella solo invita a los que tienen tela perdedor por muchas cabezas ganador de la sutileza mientras que otros persiguen el oro solo me contendo por durar un poco sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía solo la defensa de mi pobre vida tengo esperanzas, no las pierdo porque soy un ganador pero creo que este año me irá peor Por eso la otra tarde con ánimo de lucha yo me fuí p'al centro como quien disfruta pero en el 59 aunque iba muy atento una mano amiga me rapiñó el vento no importa me dijo, vamos pa' adelante sin tener en cuenta que andaba cesante y por andar pensando en esas cosas distraído no vi ni la sombra de ese colectivo Perdedor por muchas cabezas ganador de la sutileza mientras que los otros persiguen el oro solo me contento por durar un poco sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía solo la defensa cuando estaba en vida ahora vivo en una nube que no para de llover pago al día mis impuestos más el alquiler los diarios de aquí arriba son todos oficialistas traen las hojas en blanco con la cara del barbita aquí arriba se comenta que hasta el cielo está empeñado que levanten ese muerto, San Pedro y sus asociados tengo esperanza, no las pierdo porque soy un ganador pero creo que este año me irá peor
