If You Live Composer(s): Mose Allison First release by: Mose Allison Covered by multiple other artists
If you live your time will come I say if you live your time will come So child don't mess with that cotton sack It will scratch your knees and bend your back And if you live your time will come
If you live your day will come If you live your day will come So child don't play with those pots and pans They will soon enough ruin your pretty hands And if you live your time will come
If you live a day will come If you live a day will come When the sun will shine And the crops will grow And you think you're not gonna worry no more But if you live, your time will come
Ella es como el agua se desliza entre los dedos Ella es como el agua escapa a un puño cerrado
Arena en mis zapatos sigo tus huellas en silencio Arena en mis dos ojos rompen mis sueños tranquilos Carreteras estrechas nada me impide que estés a mi lado porque cierro los ojos y veo paisajes y un mar transparente
Juego con tu pelo la pesadumbre tiene el color de tus cejas Y te veo desnuda y limpia cuando ahuyentas mis sombras
Ella es de sonidos no dejes de hablarme en silencio porque tus palabras perfuman la noche y abren mis sentidos
Ella es como el aire que abrió cuatro puertas cerradas que yo pasé como un niño perdido que encuentra a su madre
Carreteras estrechas nada me impide que estés a mi lado porque cierro los ojos y veo paisajes y un mar transparentes
Juego con tu pelo la pesadumbre tiene el color de tus cejas Y te veo desnuda y limpia cuando ahuyentas mis sombras
Ella es como el agua Ella es de sonido Ella es como el agua Ella es como el aire
If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry Composer(s): Harold Mooney; Gerald Sanford Performer(s): Jerry Wallace; Loretta Lynn
(If you leave, take my heart, take my heart) If you leave me tonight I will cry Though you say we will soon meet again For the hours I've spent here with you Are like words from a poet's pen Words like love, and truth, and goodness Words like till death us do part I will never love another Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart (Take my heart)
Yes, the hours I've spent here with you Are like words from a poet's pen Words like love, and truth, and goodness Words like till death us do part I will never love another Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart Take my heart (take my heart)
Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla Ella, ella ya me olvido Y yo la recuerdo ahora Era como la primavera Su anochecido pelo Su voz dormida un beso Y junto al mar la fiebre Que me llevo a su entraña Y soñamos con hijos Que nos robo la carma
Ella, ella ya me olvido Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla No, que no puedo olvidarla
Ella, ella ya se olvido De aquellas caminatas Junto a la cosatnera Y al chico que miraba
Ella, ella ya me olvido Y yo, yo no puedo olvidarla Que no, que no puedo olvidarla
Ella, ella ya me olvido Y yo, yo la recuerdo ahora Como no recordarla Si en cada primavera Me llega con la brisa Que la lleva la arena
A mi ella, ella ya me olvido Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla No, yo no puedo olvidarla No, que no puedo olvidarla
If You Leave Me Now Composer(s): Peter Cetera First release by: Chicago - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me No baby please don't go If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me No baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find How could we let it slip away We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way When tomorrow comes we'll both regret Things we said today
Ella Composer(s): Luis Fierro
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Ella se marcho, con otro hombre y su huella, dejo en mi piel martirizándome Tuve a otra mujer, para olvidarla pero aún sigo, en mi habitación emborrachándome Ella, me falta ella si ella, perderé la razón Ella, me acuerdo de ella que cruel, a veces es el amor Ella me dejo, por otro hombre y entre trago y trago sueño que está esperándome Pensará que ya, la abre olvidado pero ignora, que su ausencia está matándome Ella, me falta ella si ella, perderé la razón Ella, me acuerdo de ella que cruel, a veces es el amor Ella, me falta ella si ella, perderé la razón Ella, me acuerdo de ella que cruel, a veces es el amor Ella... Sin ella Ella
If You Leave Composer(s): Martin Handsley Cooper; Paul David Humphreys; Andy McCluskey First release: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
If you leave, don't leave now Please don't take my heart away Promise me just one more night Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our sides Now it's fading fast Every second every moment We've got to--we've gotta make it last
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day But if you leave don't look back I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge Like time standing still Heaven knows what happens now You've got to--you've gotta say you will
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd meet again
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd still be friends
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd meet again someday
If you leave Oh if you leave Oh if you leave Don't look back Don't look back
If You Know What I Mean Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond and multiple other artists
When the night returns just like a friend When the evening comes to set me free When the quiet house that wait beyond the day Make peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette Took a drink from a glass of old wine I closed my eyes, and I could make it real And feel it one more time
Can you hear it, babe Can you hear it, babe From another time From another place Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room When we gave it away for the sake of a dream In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean
Here's to the songs we used to sing And here's to the times we used to know It's hard to hold them in our arms again But hard to let them go
Do you hear it, babe Do you hear it, babe It was another time It was another place Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room When we gave it away for the sake of a dream In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean!

I have got a sweetie known as Susie In the words of Shakespeare she's a "wow" Though all of you may know her, too I'd like to shout right now
Suzie has a perfect reputation No one ever saw her on a spree Nobody knows where Susie goes Nobody knows but me
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl There's none so classy As this fair lassie Oh! Oh! Holy Moses, what a chassis We went riding, she didn't balk Back from Yonkers I'm the one that had to walk If you knew Susie, like I know Susie Oh! Oh! What a girl!
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl She wears long tresses And nice tight dresses Oh! Oh! What a future she possesses Out in public How she can yawn In a parlour, you would think the war was on If you knew Susie, like I know Susie Oh! Oh! What a girl!

If You Keep On Composer(s): Goddard; Kevin Rowland Performer(s): Adam Ant
I'll take it round Round by round And I will pay if you don't mind So just say hello Or even stare But don't talk about me When I'm standing there
So you run your life And I'll run mine Don't ask how I am You're no friend of mine I've made my own bed It suits me fine I don't know your name But you sure know mine
I'm not hard to get on with You'd try the patience Of a saint
If you keep on talking to me With all of your crude advice I'll talk to you my friend And it won't be nice If you keep on doing what you're doing I'm gonna vexed with you If you keep on doing what you're doing You're gonna be next
I'll take it round Round by round Don't want to hear bells when I hit the ground After awhile you get used to pain If you knock me down I'll just get up again Now these things I say Sound hard for you Well that's just because You've got no point of view Some people talk and never do And that's the big difference Between me and you
Hay quien mantiene la convicción de que la vida es la partida entre el azar y la comunión con el destino entre la ley y la invocación del destino
Quien mira no ve ni una mitad es evidente que es diferente Entre mirar con la claridad de la cordura y ver con la luminosidad de la locura
Ante esa coyuntura de la claridad y lucidez con sensatez elijo la locura, aleluya elijo la locura...
Ante el intento de construir la convivencia en la apariencia opongo el reto de destruir toda la historia las estrategias, el porvenir y la memoria
No sólo no me quiero atener a ser comparsa de esta otra farsa sino, además, rechazo el deber del raciocinio esa otra trampa que usa el Poder para el dominio
Ante esa coyuntura de la claridad y lucidez con sensatez elijo la locura, aleluya elijo la locura...

If you hadnt asked me to dance Would my heart be broken tonight Im sorry you held me so close in your arms Im lonely for only the thrill of your charms You made me believe in romance But you never gave it a chance And if you hadnt spoken Would my heart be broken If you hadnt asked me to dance

I guess you noticed there is only eleven roses I chose them from our garden where they grew Take the roses and look into the mirror And the twelfth rose will be looking back at you There's just something about a spray of roses To a woman they say more than man can say After what I've done you may not keep the roses But I just thought I would sent them anyway

Si Tu Dois Partir - 1969 (aka Maintenant Ou Jamais - 1966) (Adapted from: If You Gotta Go, Go Now - 1965/1991) (Italian Version: Non Sperarlo Più - 1966) Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Fairport Convention - 1969
C'est pas que je te demande Que faire que tu ne jamais fais C'est seulement qu'il fait trop tard Et il fait trop noir pour trouver la porte
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Si non, tu dois rester la nuit
C'est pas que je te demande De prendre part dans ce jeu C'est seulement je n'ai pas de montre Comme toujours faire le par contre
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Si non, tu dois rester la nuit
Tu sais j'aurais des cauchemars Et aussi mauvaise conscience Si je t'empêche de faire Ce que vraiment tu espère
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en Si non, tu dois rester la nuit

Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - Eleanor Rigby (Finnish Version) (Topmost) 1986 - Ma Come Fa La Gente Sola (Adriano Celentano)
Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul
Eleonor Rigby Etait la femme que j'ai le plus aimé dans ma vie Je vous le dis
Quels beaux souvenirs Ces promenades avec elle au fond de son jardin Nous étions bien
Tout me semble triste Moins doux qu'auparavant
Tout me semble triste Moins doux dorénavant
Soudain le malheur Frappa chez elle une nuit, c'était en plein hiver Je ne pus rien faire
Quand le jour maudit Est arrivé, elle a fermé les yeux pour toujours Mon pauvre amour
Tout me semble triste Moins doux qu'auparavant
Tout me semble triste Moins doux dorénavant
Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul
Eleonor Rigby Repose ici près de chêne où l'on venait s'aimer C'était l'été
Aujourd'hui encore Je vais prier sur cette tombe où un nom est inscrit Eleonor Rigby
