Sable Chino
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Toma Coca Cola a las tres 
y cualquier cosa toma a cualquier hora 
y como se hartó de tocar 
pintó sus ojos de amarillo alfombra 
y ya, cerraron los subterráneos. 
Ya no quiero verte llorar 
cualquier motivo te parece justo 
no hay edades para vivir 
ni para nada estás solo en el mundo. 
ya no entiendo a quién le hablo 
él y yo vivimos aquí 
él se enamora y yo le hago preguntas 
una luna en el corazón 
y un sable chino afilado en la punta. 
Ya no me importa quien soy 
si un mal parido, esquizofrénico de hoy 
o un guerrillero, militante de qué...? 
 
El y yo quienes somos 
El escribe y yo estorbo 
y el saxo le chorrea de odio

Henry Had A Merry Christmas
Performer(s): Walter Brennan



My Dad used to raise turkeys for Christmas
And about a week before, he'd take 'em into town
He always kept the biggest one 'specially for us
And Mom'd cook it to a golden brown

One year he brought the usual batch home
Just hatched, with lots of growin' to do
There was one awful skinny like, he put in my care
He never figured he'd pull through

I named him Henry and with a young boy's touch
I finally got him to grow
Now, I know'd what'd happen if he'd grow'd too much
I remember, I used to tell him so

Henry, you're growin' a-way too fast
Dad's got his eye on you
And Christmas Day's gonna be your last
Eatin' the way you do

Course I never thought about the ones Dad sold
How they'd wind up in the oven too
But I'd seen what'd happen when the ones he'd choose
What him and that axe could do

Early one mornin' Dad took 'em to town
And sure enough, Henry was left
And by Christmas Eve, the way I moped around
They all know'd how bad I felt

After supper Dad left the house
An' ev'rything was quiet, 'cept the old hall clock
It was a long, long wait.....
Henry jumped straight up when that axe hit the choppin' block

We shot out the back door to where Dad was
All of us a-runnin' around
And Dad just stood there, grinnin' at us
Then we hear'd a gobblin' sound

No, we didn't have turkey that Christmas Day
But that was all right with us
And there weren't a one of us that didn't want it that way
And you know, Henry had a Merry Christmas

Sabiá
Composer(s): Chico Buarque de Hollanda; A.C. Jobim
Performer(s): Chico Buarque 



Vou voltar
Sei que ainda vou voltar
Para o meu lugar
Foi lá e é ainda lá
Que eu hei de ouvir cantar
Uma sabiá

Vou voltar
Sei que ainda vou voltar
Vou deitar à sombra
De um palmeira
Que já não há
Colher a flor
Que já não dá
E algum amor Talvez possa espantar
As noites que eu não queira
E anunciar o dia

Vou voltar
Sei que ainda vou voltar
Não vai ser em vão
Que fiz tantos planos
De me enganar
Como fiz enganos
De me encontrar
Como fiz estradas
De me perder
Fiz de tudo e nada
De te esquecer

Vou voltar
Sei que ainda vou voltar
Para o meu lugar
Foi lá e é ainda lá
Que eu hei de ouvir cantar
Uma sabiá

Heirlooms
Composer(s): Brown Bannister; Bob Farrell; Amy Grant
Performer(s): Amy Grant;
and various other artists



Up in the attic
Down on my knees
Lifetimes of boxes
Timeless to me
Letters and photographs
Yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
Some bringing tears

Time never changes
The memories, the faces
Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me

Wisemen and shepherds
Down on their knees
Bringing their treasures
To lay at His feet
Who was this wonder
Baby yet King?
Living and dying
He gave life to me

Time never changes
The memory, the moment
His love first pierced through me
Telling all that I came from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious Savior
Is more than an heirloom to me

My precious Jesus
Is more than an heirloom to me

Sabes
Composer(s): P. Andión
Performer(s): Raphael



Te Voy A Explicar Porque
Hoy Me Marchare De Aqui
Y Dejare Mi Lugar ¿sabes?
Abierto De Par En Par

Yo Se Bien Que No Soy
Todo Lo Que Esperas Tu
Pero Es Que Yo Soy Asi ¿sabes?
No Soy Tu Principe Azul

Por Esto, Solo Por Esto
Vuelvo La Espalda Y Dejo Esta Casa
Porque No Soy De Esta Acera
Soy Casi Todo, Soy La Arleba

Yo Se Que Te Gustaria
Vestirme Como Un Señor
Y Que Dejara De Hablar ¿sabes?
De Penas Y De Dolor

Pero Es Que Naci De Un Vientre
Maltratado Y Con Sudor
Y A Mi Me Salieron Los Dientes ¿sabes?
Luchando Por Ser Mejor

Estoy Huyendo De Ti Y De Mi
Tienes Razon, Es Verdad, Si
Pero He Llegado Al Final ¿sabes?
Esto Ha Tocado A Su Fin

Para De Hoy En Adelante
Por Si Me Quieres Buscar
Ve Y Pregunta Donde Haya Gente ¿sabes?
Esa Que Nunca Es Valiente ¿sabes?
Y Alli Cantando Seguro
Alli Me Vas A Encontrar ¿sabes?

Ivy, Ivy, way down on South Car'lina
You're a heart entwiner Ivy, Ivy
Will you be waiting for me like you said you'd be

And when you see the load of love I am bringing
Around my heart again I know you'll be clinging

And when you see the load of love I am bringing
Around my heart again I know you'll be clinging
Ivy, come on cling I'll bring a wedding ring Oh
Ivy won't you come and wrap yourself
all around my heart

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Come down, come down from your ivory tower
Let love come into your heart
Don't lock yourself in an ivory tower
Don't keep us so far apart

I love you, I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?

Come down, come down from your ivory tower
You'll find true love has its charms
It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower
And warm, so warm in my arms

I love you, I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?

Come down, come down from your ivory tower
You'll find true love has its charms
It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower
And warm, so warm in my arms

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Composer(s): Felix Mendelssohn; Charles Wesley
First performance by: Waltham Abbey Choir - 1855
Covered by multiple other artists



Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th' angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the favoured one
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail, th'incarnate Deity
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Hail! the heaven-born
Prince of peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the son of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!"

I've Waited So Long
Composer(s): Jerry Lordan
Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Cal Tjader



(So long, I've waited so long
So long, I've waited so long)

I've waited so long, a lifetime it seems
For someone to step right out of my dreams
All that an angel could be
And meant for only me

Play me a tune, haunting and blue
Tell me of dreams that never come true
Sing me a lonely song
Till she comes along

It will be so wonderful
When love comes my way
No more lonely hours
They'll just fade away

Some day we'll meet, somewhere I know
We'll kiss and say "I love you so"
Darling, surely I can't be so wrong
For I've waited, yes I've waited
So very lo-o-ong

So long, my darling
So long, my darling, darling

Hark! Hark! What News The Angels Bring
Composer(s): William Sandys



Hark, Hark! what news the Angels bring
Glad tidings of a new-born King
Who is the Saviour of mankind
In whom we may salvation find

This is the day, the blessed morn
The Saviour of mankind was born
Born of a maid, a Virgin pure
Born without sin, from guilt secure

Hail, blessed Virgin, full of grace!
Blessed above all mortal race
Whose blessed womb brought forth in one
A God, A Savior, and a Son

A perfect God, a perfect man
A mystery which no man can
Attain to, tho' he's e'er so wise
Till he ascent above the skies

Arise, my soul, and then, my voice
In hymns of praise early rejoice
His fame extol and magnify
Upon those errands Angels fly

As Angels sung at Jesus' birth
Sure we have greater cause for mirth
For why, it was for our sake
Christ did our human nature take

Dear Christ, thou didst thyself debase
Thus to descent to human race
And leave thy Father's throne above
Lord, what could move thee to this love?

Man that was made out of the dust
He found a paradise at first
But see the God of Heaven and earth
Laid in a manger at his birth

Surely the manger where he lies
Doth figure out his sacrifice
And by his birth all men may see
A pattern of humility

Stupendous Babe! my God and King
Thy praises I will ever sing
In joyful accents raise my voice
And in my praise of God rejoice

My soul, learn by thy Saviour's birth
For to debase thyself on earth
That I may be exalted high
To live with him eternally

I am resolved whilst here I live
As I'm in duty bound, to give
All glory to the Deity
One God alone in persons three

I've told every little star
Just how sweet I think you are
Why haven't I told you

I've told ripples in a brook
Made my heart an open book
Why haven't I told you

Friends ask me am I in love
I always answer yes
Might as well confess
If I don't they guess

Maybe you may know it too
Oh my darling if you do
Why haven't you told me

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear 

War is over!
If you want it
War is over!

Johnny boy
Take it slow
Don't you know
Don't you know

She may kiss you like I do
She may hold you like I do
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do

She may whisper you're her only
That without you she is lonely
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do

She may sigh, you may fall
And she'll never be at home when you call
Can't you tell by her smile
She just wants your heart to play with for awhile

Take it slow
Take it slow
Don't you know
Don't you know

She may kiss you like I do
She may hold you like I do
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do

Johnny boy
Take it slow
Don't you know
Don't you know

She may kiss you like I do
She may hold you like I do
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never never never never never love you like
I ... do

Another year is almost through
It's new year's eve and I'm with you
Happy happy new year baby
It's been a year I won't forget
 
So many things I recall
The joy of spring, the thrill of fall
Happy happy new year baby
It's been a year I won't forget
 
Tick tock, two lovers watch the clock
As the old year slowly slips away
I pray, one year from today
We'll be embracin' in the same old way
 
Now's the time, dim the light
It's twelve o'clock so hold me tight
Happy happy new year baby
It's been a year I won't forget
 
Now's the time, oh dim the light
It's twelve o'clock, so hold me, hold me tight
Happy happy new year baby
It's been a year I won't forget

I've Taken A Liking To You
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr; W.C. Powell



Since we first met, my heart's been set in winning your love some day
your eyes of blue, show you'll be true, if cupid will lead the way
Your golden hair, 'tis not rare, seems different from all the rest 
I've liked a score, but I think more and more that you're by far the best

'Tis true, they say, that some fine day, your fate you will meet at last 
now if that's so, then I will know that day has come for me just passed 
For I can see, you have won me, and wouldn't it be right fine
if I but knew I could only win you, to tell me you'll be mine

I've taken a liking to you, yes you, that's true
there's something about you that charms, your smile, your style
in all this wide world there's but few, like you, to woo
so tell me you may learn to like me someday, for I've taken a liking to you

Happy New Year
Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists



The snow makes teardrops on my window
The wind blows memories through my hall
And I am all alone on New Year's eve 
The time I need you most of all

The gay ones don their silly paper hats 
And blow their stupid little horns
At midnight they will all be singing Auld Lang Syne 
But the sad ones sit alone before the fire and sip a glass of lonely wine

I wish you a Happy New Year darling 
May your new love be bright and fair
I hope he'll do those special things for you 
That I would do if I were there.

I love the days we spent together
Before the old year lost it's shine
I'll keep that memory locked within my heart
That Happy New Year you were mine

I've Seen That Face Before
(Adapted from: Libertango - 1974)
Composer(s): Astor Piazzolla; Nathalie Delon; Barry Reynolds; David Wilkey
First release by: Grace Jones - 1981



Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard
Parisian music, drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort
Tu te prends pour qui, toi aussi tu detestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

Happy New Year	
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA;
and various other artists



No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
