If I'd Been The One Composer(s): Don Barnes; Jeff Carlisi; Larry Steele; Donnie Van Zant Performer(s): .38 Special
I've been lost inside, empty space in my heart And some things never change, no How it hurts me and how it's tearin' me apart And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind Take a good look at my face Could you take the time Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, look inside Can you read my mind? Oh oh
When I hear your name Feel so cold deep inside Still it's hard to explain, oh What your love meant to me They say time will heal the pain But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind Have you closed the door on love Can you be so blind Did you think I'd just give up
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside And it never fades away, Fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why Count my mistakes and the heartaches Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside And it never fades away, never fades away, no it don't fade away
El Problema Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El problema El problema no es si te buscas o no más problemas El problema no es ser capaz de volver a empezar El problema no es vivir demostrando a uno que te exige y anda mendigando El problema no es repetir el ayer como fórmula para salvarse El problema no es jugar a darse El problema no es de ocasión El problema señor sigue siendo sembrar amor
El problema no es de quien vino y se fue o viceversa El problema no es de los niños que ostentan papás El problema no es de quien saca cuenta y recuenta y a su bolsillo suma lo que resta El problema no es de la moda mundial ni de que haya tan mala memoria El problema no queda en la gloria ni en que falten tesón y sudor El problema señor sigue siendo sembrar amor
El problema no es despeñarse en abismos de ensueño porque hoy no llegó al futuro sangrado de ayer El problema no es que el tiempo sentencie extravío cuando hay juventudes soñando desvíos El problema no es darle un hacha al dolor y hacer leña con todo y la palma El problema vital es el alma El problema es de resurrección El problema señor será siempre sembrar amor
If I Were Your Woman Composer(s): Gloria Jones; Pam Sawyer; Clarence McMurray First release by: Gladys Knight & The Pips - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
If I were your woman and you were my man You'd have no other woman, you'd be weak as a lamb If you had the strength to walk out that door My love would overrule my sense and I'd call you back for more If I were your woman If I were your woman and you were my man
She tears you down darlin', says you're nothing at all But I'll pick you up darlin' when she lets you fall You're like a diamond, but she treats you like glass Yet you beg her to love you, but me, you don't ask
If I were your woman, if I were your woman If I were your woman, here's what I'd do I'd never no no stop loving you
Life is so crazy, a love is unkind Because she came first darlin' will she hang on your mind You're a part of me and you don't even know it I'm what you need, but I'm too afraid to show it
If I were your woman, if I were your woman If I were your woman, here's what I'd do I'd never no no stop loving you
El Pozo Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael
Tan cerca de mí te he tenido siempre Tan cerca de mí que no pude ver Que eras tú el amor, ese gran amor Que he buscado siempre y no encontré Yo buscaba amor con el mismo afán Que rescata el mar sus olas de la playa Y no lo encontré, y no lo encontraba Porque nunca en ti pensé Hay que aprovechar las horas que perdimos Y recuperar el tiempo que se fue Y querernos más que nadie se ha querido En un sólo día y una sola vez Cómo no pensé que tú me esperabas Ni escuché el amor que había en tus palabras Cómo si eras tú lo que yo buscaba Cómo no lo pude ver Que eras tú el amor, ese gran amor Que he buscado siempre y no encontré

If I Were A Rich Man (French Version: Si J'avais Des Millions - 1968) Composer(s): Jerry Bock; Sheldon M. Harnick First release by: Zero Mostel - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Tevye: "Dear God, you made many, many poor people I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor But it's no great honor either! So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"
If I were a rich man Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum If I were a biddy biddy rich Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen Right in the middle of the town A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below There would be one long staircase just going up And one even longer coming down And one more leading nowhere, just for show
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack" Would land like a trumpet on the ear As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"
If I were a rich man Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum If I were a biddy biddy rich Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife With a proper double-chin Supervising meals to her heart's delight I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock Oy, what a happy mood she's in Screaming at the servants, day and night
The most important men in town would come to fawn on me! They would ask me to advise them Like a Solomon the Wise "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong When you're rich, they think you really know!
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack To sit in the synagogue and pray And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day That would be the sweetest thing of all
If I were a rich man Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum If I were a biddy biddy rich Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
If I Were A Moose Composer(s): Fred Small Performer(s): Fred Small
If I were a moose and you were a cow Would you love me anyhow? Would you introduce me to your folks Would you tell your friends "No moose jokes!" If I were a moose and you were a cow
Would you invite me to your club And risk a cruel bovine snub Would you lead me down the receiving line And boldly boast "This moose is mine!"
Would your parents watch us graze Shake their heads, "It's just a phase" Or would they thank the stars above Their precious heifer's found her love?
Would your grandparents change their will? They'd really expected a Holstein bull "For this we toiled before the plow You bring home someone who's not even a cow
There's lot's of proper stock around Like that nice young Guernsey at Farmer Brown's Or that last one we ridiculed and cursed On second thought you could do worse
But if you think this thing will last Could he learn to moo and eat our grass Shed his antlers in the dirt Could you persuade him to convert?"
If our anatomies did not quite fit Would you make the best of it Would you nuzzle up so near And hum sweet cow tunes in my ear?
Or would you sadly break it off When all the hillside sneered and scoffed "You know those moose are all the same They're lazy, they're stupid, they come from Maine"
It's true things slip a moose's mind That cows remember all the time Bulbous nose and knobby knees A coat that harbors ticks and fleas
But a moose can be a handy thing When hungry wolves come visiting In icy gust of winter storm Our fur is deep and dry and warm
And someday should your milk run dry And farmer stare with baleful eye In dead of night I'd slip your noose And lead you home to the land of moose If I were a moose and you were a cow
If hunters came to do me harm Would you hide me in the barn Would all the herd come on the run And glare until they dropped their guns?
Might you permit a goodnight kiss Could you learn to love wet moose lips? If I were a moose and you were a cow If you were a cow and I were a moose
Hay una luz, en algún lugar adonde van los sueños de la humanidad Hay una luz dentro de ti adonde van los sueños que van a venir para volver a despertar no te olvides: nunca dejes de soñar, nunca dejes de soñar Hay una luz que no se ve, brilla desde adentro desde la niñez hay una luz en algún lugar, allí donde los sueños se hacen realidad Más allá del sol, más allá del mar, más allá del tiempo sé que hay un lugar donde quiero ir, donde quiero estar, hoy la fantasía se hace realidad...
If I Were A King Composer(s): Joe Bataan; Nitollano Performer(s): Joe Bataan
If I were a king (if I were a king) I'd tear me crown And if I were a millionaire, oh baby (oh baby) You'd own all that I own Just tell me that you care And you're going where I want to
If you say you love me (tell me you love me) I'll give you that as ???? girl Just whisper that you want me And you'll be me girl And, you can have pearls in your hand Just as long as I'm your man
Darling, there is gonna be no rule in the whole wide world That's gonna stop this guy from walking against you There's gonna be no river deep enough baby That I can't swim, to be beside you (If I were a king ) (If I I were a king)
And if that's all to ????, I write a song to you I'll climb the last mountain top And shout up there that I love you, you
If I were a pet, girl I ???? for you ????? And if I were a poor boy, I'd offer you a toy But, nothing's gonna stop me, yeah To try to get next to you, oh Just as long as I can, I'm your man
That's right darling There"s gonna be no rule long enough in the whole wide world That's gonna stop this guy from getting to you Believe me, you found a king And if all the riches and all the treasures in the whole wide world Aren't enough to satisfy you, darling But you can have my heart And believe me, yes you better believe With my heart you can go a long, long way I'm telling you All it's gonna take, all it's gonna take Is for you to be my queen
El pintor de las mujeres soles abandonado en su empecinada claridad Hizo su último viaje ya muy solo sobre el Atlántico y fue sepultado cuando llegó
El pintor brilloso como la Luna con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo Escupió al cangrejo desde un dibujo y le puso fecha a su despedida Y siguió queriendo aunque no fue amado ni como ser humano Y siguió aprendiendo el camino de la soledad en todo momento
Y se fue entre ceras alucinantes con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo Descargando gritos sobre las armas mientras los beatos se persignaban y el no tuvo iglesias pero algo de altares al amor hubo entre sus lienzos Y en la fantasía iba platicando su viaje hacia el universo
El pintor de las enredaderas de luz escribió sus últimos signos con triste desesperación Y dejó sus restos a los amigos y dejó sus restos a los amigos pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos
El Perdido Composer(s): Adán Moreno H.
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Se terminó el camino y no logré encontrarte las sombras del recuerdo se agigantaron más Y yo desesperado perdido en lo perdido con los ojos marchitos de llorar y llorar
Te busqué entre las sombras te busqué en el pecado te busqué entres las almas te busqué en el dolor Y si no he de encontrarte porque tú ya no existas que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios
Te busqué entre las sombras te busqué en el pecado te busqué entres las almas te busqué en el dolor Y si no he de encontrarte porque tú ya no existas que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios

Se io fossi un falegname e tu una signora tu credi davvero che mi vorresti ancora avresti negli occhi la stessa dolcezza oppure sarebbe soltanto tristezza
No non mi rispondere forse non lo sai preferisco non crederlo non rispondermi mai
Se tu amassi un povero dimmi saresti tu o saresti un'altra che vorrebbe di più e quello che ti offro é importante per te o vivi soltanto veramente per me
No non mi rispondere...
Se io fossi un falegname e tu una signora tu credi davvero che mi vorresti ancora avresti negli occhi la stessa dolcezza oppure sarebbe soltanto tristezza
If I Were A Blackbird Composer(s): Arthur Darley; Delia Murphy Performer(s): Ronnie Ronalde and multiple other artists
If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest And pillow my head on her lily white breast
El Pecador Composer(s): Alejandro Fuentes Roth
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists
Reconozco Señor
que soy culpable
se que fui
pecador imperdonable
Hoy te pido Señor
me vuelvas bueno
porque tengo un amor
limpio y sincero
Y si voy a seguir
siendo igual que antes fui
no la dejes venir
a llorar junto a mí
Quítame su amor
porque soy un pecador
pero a ella, pero a ella
no la dejes sufrir
no la dejes sufrir
no la dejes sufrir
De lo malo de ayer
hoy me arrepiento
es por eso que vengo
hasta tu templo
Hazme bueno Señor
te pertenezco
soy tu hijo también
y lo merezco
Y si voy a seguir
siendo igual que antes fui
no la dejes venir
a llorar junto a mí
Quítame su amor
porque soy un pecador
pero a ella, pero a ella
no la dejes sufrir
no la dejes sufrir
no la dejes sufrir
If I Were A Blackbird Composer(s): Alister Armstrong; Judson Armstrong Performer(s): Helen Creighton
I once knew a maiden, a maiden so rare Fell in love with a sailor, a young sailor beau She courted him dearly, by night and by day Til at length this young sailor, he sailed far away
And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast
My true love is handsome in every degree My parents despise him because he loves me Well, let them despise him, or say what they will While there's life in my bosom, I'll love the lad still
And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast
If I were a scholar, I could handle a pen One long, loving letter unto him I'd send I'd tell him my sorrow, my grief and my woes If I could but find him I'd crown him with gold
And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast
Im just a young sailor and my story is sad For once I was happy and a brave sailor lad I courted a lassie by night and by day But now she has left me and gone far away
And pillow my head on her lily white breast Whistle and sing, whistle and sing Ill follow the ship that my true love sails in
El Paso City Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins; David Allan Coe; Meat Puppets
From thirty thousand feet above The desert floor, I see it there below A city with a legend The west Texas city of El Paso Where long ago I heard a song About a Texas cowboy and a girl And a little place called Rosa's Where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl
I don't recall who sang the song But I recall the story that I heard And as I look down on the city I remember each and ev'ry word The singer sang about a jealous cowboy And the way he used his gun To kill another cowboy Then he had to leave El Paso on the run
El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e The cowboy lived and rode away But love was strong he couldn't stay He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e I try not to let you cross my mind But still I find there's just a mystery In the song that I don't understand
My mind is down there somewhere As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico I can't explain why I should know The very trail he rode back to El Paso Can it be that man can disappear From life and live another time And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think That you yourself lived in that other time
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts Familar scenes and memories unfold These wild and unexplained emotions That I've had so long but I have never told Like every time I fly up thru the heavens And I see you there below I get the feeling sometime In another world I lived in El Paso
El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e Could it be that I could be The cowboy in this mystery That died there in that desert sand so long ago El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e A voice tells me to go and see Another voice keeps tellin' me Maybe death awaits me in El Paso
