I'm A Fool To Want You Composer(s): Joel Herron; Frank Sinatra; Jack Wolf First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss the Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say
I'm a fool to want you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you
Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along
Desde hoy quisiera discutir Ya sabes que tienes plena libertad Lo ves, tengo yo siempre que decir Esto sí, esto no, por amor Oye mujer elige ahora tú Que quiero someterme alguna vez Me tocan a mí las cosas siempre más difíciles Esto sí, esto no, por amor Pero no, ahora tienes que elegir Si esto sigue o lo dejamos así El destino no soy sólo yo Lo tenemos que hacer entre dos Ahora siéntate y di sin temor Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, por amor Ya ves, es imposible Me toca a mí de nuevo disponer Y temo equivocarme sin tu decisión Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, esto no Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, esto no Esto no
Tú me recuerdas el prado de los soñadores El muro que nos separa del mar, si es de noche Tú me recuerdas sentada, ciertos sentimientos Qué nunca se sabe que traen en las alas Si vivos o muertos, si vivos o muertos
Me quito el rostro y lo doblo encima del pantalón Si no he de decir tu nombre, si ajeno se esconde No quiero expresión Suelen mis ojos tener como impresos sus sueños, risueños
Tú me recuerdas las calles de La Habana Vieja La Catedral sumergida en su baño de tejas Tú me recuerdas las cosas, no se, las ventanas Donde los cantores nocturnos cantaban Amor a La Habana, amor a La Habana
Esto no es una elegía, ni es un romance, ni un verso Más bien una acción de gracias Por darle a mis ansias razón para un beso Una modesta corona encontrada en la aurora
Tú me recuerdas el mundo de un adolescente Un seminiño asustado, mirando a la gente Un ángel interrogado, un sueño acostado La maldición, la blasfemia de un continente Y un poco de muerte, y un poco de muerte
I'm A Drifter Composer(s): Dolly Parton First release by: Dolly Parton - 1976
I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter Got no place to call my home no more I'm a wanderer, a wandering wanderer Got no one to call my own no more Got no strings to tie me down Got no cause to hang around What difference does it make which way i go Got an empty feelin' down inside Still i need to stay alive And who can tell what waits beyond this road I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter Got no one to call my own no more
Got no strings to tie me down Got no cause to hang around What difference does it make which way i go Got an empty feelin' deep inside Still i need to stay alive Who can tell what waits beyond this road I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter Got no one to call my own no more
Esto ya pasó Está pasando Pasará Y no pasó nunca (Aquí va un mensaje al futuro) Esto lo estoy tocando mañana
Soñadores sueñen hoy Que escuchan este grito del pasado Esto lo estoy tocando mañana
Narración: Julio Cortázar
Que a un señor lo sientan en una silla en un estudio de grabación y hay un gran silencio y luego sale una voz así como de la nada una voz que parece ya muerta y del otro lado habrá un día un señor que comprará el disco y lo escuchará en su casa y será un poco, también, como si él estuviera muerto cuando lo escucha
Todo es distante y diferente y parece inconciliable, y a la vez todo se da simultáneamente en este momento, que todavía no existe para mí y que es, sin embargo, el momento en que usted escucha estas palabras que yo grabé en el pasado, es decir en un tiempo que para mí, ahora, es el futuro Juegos de la imaginación, dirá el señor sensato que nunca falta entre los locos Como si eso fuera a decir algo
I'm A Drifter Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me to come over in the wee hours of the mornin'
I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin' and that is why I've givin' you fair warnin'
And though you might have loved me like I never ever have been loved before your front door is open and I've got to keep on movin'
So I will stay with you a while and then I'll let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for the dream that I've been seekin' since I left my home in Oklahoma
And who's to say but that I might not be back tomorrow if I find there's only sorrow you may see me from your windowsill next mornin'
I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain, the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town searchin' all around Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow
Let's make the most of time before the break of day but don't try to make me stay if I don't want to
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for that dream and you can't bind me with the simple words I love you
But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin' for is waitin' here behind your door then I'll come back to stay if you still want me to
I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town searchin' all around Lookin for the answer to my sorrow And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow
I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town searchin' all around Lookin for the answer to my sorrow And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow
I'm A Dreamer That's Chasing Bubbles Composer(s): George A. Little; Frank Magine
Dreams of my heart you're a wonderful dream Although you never come true But still I cherish in fond memory The hours I spent with you
Dream of my heart if you would but come true I'd see the sunshine again But dear it seems I'll forever be blue My heart's always filled with pain
I'm a dreamer that's chasing Bubbles and the world knows that I'm in love I have wandered along still I drift alone While I look at the sky above And I beg every star just to guide me Where each one in love should go But I dream and the world's like a bubble When it breaks, no one knows where it goes
Este Mundo Va Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - M. Grilli
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
El tiempo pasa y no de largo y hay quien no se entera que somos los mismos envueltos en novedad Me dices: "Cambias.. sin embargo tu entusiasmo sigue ahí no me has preguntado si me da igual o no Oh! No
Amor, te escribo y soy testigo de lo que se pierde y voy a acostumbrarme aunque me cueste...
Dáme al menos tiempo y que respire no es un arte fácil prometer dáme al menos tiempo de despedirme
Porque en un mundo que va a la velocidad del rayo aguanto el vuelo más si me agarro de tu mano acompáñame hasta donde pueda llegar en este mundo que va como la luz del pensamiento el mérito está en no quedarme en el intento y aunque no lo quiera ¿Que duda cabe ya? Que este mundo va
Me primavero y me otoño me estío y me invierno me adapto con seriedad... Dáme al menos dos oportunidades y tus ojos me verán crecer dáme al menos un par de posibilidades...

I'm A Caterpillar Of Society (Not A Social Butterfly)
I'm A Caterpillar Of Society (Not A Social Butterfly) From "Who Killed Cock Robin?" (1979) Composer(s): Peter Wesley-Smith; Martin Wesley-Smith
I'm a Caterpillar of Society Not a Social Butterfly I can run, jump, fight, wheel a barrow, ride a bike Let me explain the reason why I have a very healthy appetite And I eat up all my greens Such as cabbage, lettuce, peas and celery Cucumbers and beans Here I go: Munch, crunch, ah, delicious! Chomp chomp and so nutritious! Munch crunch Here's a bean about to be a has-been In you go! You see, it's succulently juicy, ah, magnifico! See the dribble - it only takes a nibble I'm red, black and yellow A fine-looking fellow All because I eat my greens
I'm a Caterpillar of Variety I can juggle and sing and joke As well as run, jump, fight, wheel a barrow, ride a bike I am a clever kind of bloke As a dancer I am dynamite When I don my dancing shoes I can disco, tango, jive and rock'n'roll Just read my reviews Here I go It's a beautiful waltz on tippy-toe! It's beautiful schmaltz, what a show! I can do somersaults, magnifico! I can tap, I'm a clever kind of chap! I'm red, black and yellow A fine-looking fellow All because I eat my greens
I'm a Caterpillar of Anxiety For I am hunted like a thief Though I can run, jump, fight, wheel a barrow, ride a bike I have to hide beneath a leaf It's because I'm so delectable All the birds want me to eat I have to watch out - Slurp!!
In fact he was a Caterpillar of Adversity He was getting iller ev'ry day No longer could he run, jump, fight, wheel a barrow, ride a bike For him the skies were always grey It was because of all the pesticides That were sprayed on all his greens Such as DDE, DDA, DDD, and DDT ...

I'm A Boy Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who and multiple other artists

Down In The Meadow Composer(s): Lionel Newman - Ken Darby Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
When Mr South Wind sighs in the pines old Mr Winter whimpers and whines Down in the meadow, under the snow April is teaching green things to grow When Mr West Wind howls in a glade old Mr Summer nods in the shade Down in the meadow, deep in the brook catfish are waiting for the hook Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow scarecrow is waving at the moon Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump with the magic of June When Mr East Wind shouts over head then all the leaves turn yellow and red Down in the meadow corn stocks are high pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow scarecrow's waving at the Moon Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump with the magic of June When Mr North Wind rolls on the breeze old father Christmas trims over trees Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dreams
Est-Ce Par Hasard
((Adapted from: Let's Fall In Love (by Art Jarrett) - 1933))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ted Koehler - Patrick Loiseau
Performer(s): Dave - 1977
Est-ce par hasard si j'ai suivi une étoile Qui m'a conduit cette nuit jusqu'ici Où tu te trouves aussi Est-ce par hasard si j'ai croisé ton regard Pourrais-tu m'expliquer pourquoi ce soir Va se jouer ma vie Qui a guidé nos pas dans l'ombre? Mais qui a tout fait pour que l'on se rencontre?
Est-ce par hasard si cette nuit une étoile Brille au-dessus de nous comme un espoir Est-ce par hasard?
Est-ce par hasard s'il a le cur qui s'égare Si ce n'est pas le hasard c'est la chance Laissons-la nous sourire Est-ce par hasard si les violons jouent ce soir Cet air ancien qui revient de si loin Du fond de ma mémoire Qui nous a mené l'un vers l'autre? Surpris on se découvre faits l'un pour l'autre
Est-ce par hasard si cette nuit une étoile Brille au-dessus de nous comme un espoir Est-ce par hasard?
I'm A Big Girl Now Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Milton Drake; Jerry Livingston Performer(s): Sammy Kaye; Gertrude Niesen
Me and my childhood sweetheart Have come to the parting of the ways He still treats me like he did In our baby days I'm a little bit older And a little bit bolder Since both of us were three I'm a little more padded Something new has been added He oughtta take one good look at me ....
I'm a big girl now I wanna be daring like a big girl now When daddy tells those certain jokes it isn't fair He tells me I'm too young and makes me take the air But I could tell a couple that would curl his hair I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now I wanna be handled like a big girl now I'm tired of being babied like a kid of three I'm tired of having chaperones to follow me I wanna have some secrets in my diary I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now I wanna be cuddled like a big girl now I'm through with going to movies with my Uncle Tim Through with going to picnics with my old Aunt Min I wanna go to Mexico with ... you know him I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now I wanna be wanted like a big girl now I'm tired of staying home each evening after dark Tired of being dynamite without a spark I wanna learn what fellows do in Central Park I'm a big girl now
Maar Met Jou Composer(s): Garvarentz; Charles Aznavour; Jimmy Frey Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Maar met jou Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou, met jou, zo is het nooit geweest Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou
In 't leven gaat het niet altijd zoals men wil En soms denkt men 't geluk is niet voor mij Maar sinds die zomerdag Toen ik zei met een lach Maar met jou Ja met jou Vaak stond ik op En dacht wat wordt het nu vandaag Een dag vol hoop of wordt alles weer grijs Maar toen viel ik op jou Alles veranderde gauw En een heerlijk gevoel van geluk Kwam in mij
Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou, met jou, zo is het nooit geweest Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou
Een slechte dag op school op 't werk of waar dan ook Het kan niet altijd feest of zondag zijn Maar te weten dat jij straks weer bij me zal zijn Maar met jou, ja met jou Als na de nacht vol passie en ook tederheid De ochtend komt die ons naar het afscheid leidt Blijf ik denken aan jou, blijf ik houden van jou Met een heerlijk gevoel van geluk zing ik nu
Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou, met jou, zo is het nooit geweest Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Maar met jou
Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou, met jou, zo is het nooit geweest Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou
Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou, met jou, zo is het nooit geweest Maar met jou, met jou is leven als een feest Ja met jou Alleen met jou
