Goodbye Emil, my trusted friend We've known each other since we were nine or ten Together we climbed hills and trees Learned of love and ABC's Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye Emil, it's hard to die When all the bird's are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere I wish we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to show me right from wrong But too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die When all the bird's are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little kids are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Francoise, my trusted wife Without you I'd had a lonely life You cheated lots of times with them But I forgave you in the end Though your lover was my friend
Goodbye Francoise, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With your lovers everywhere Just be careful, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
Goodbye Michelle, my little one You gave me joy and helped me find the sun And every time when I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground
The Angel At The Top Of My Tree Composer(s): Buddy Cannon; Kenny Chesney; Dean Dillon Performer(s): Kenny Chesney
Slide on over, baby, underneath this mistletoe Here's a toast to us together Let me wrap you in this bow I'm in the Christmas spirit No, this one won't be blue Gonna be the best one ever And it's all because of you, baby
You're the angel at the top of my tree Best present anybody ever gave to me I got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath And you're the angel at the top of my tree
Let's put on that old movie "It's A Wonderful Life" 'Cause curled up by the fire It sure rings true tonight Let's make a little heaven Then a little later on We'll make a little Love To that old Bing Crosby song, baby
You're the angel at the top of my tree Best present anybody ever gave to me I got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath But you're the angel at the top of my tree
You're the angel at the top of my tree Best present anybody ever gave to me I got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath You're the angel at the top of my tree

Och nu ar det jul i min alskade Nord ar det jul i vart hjarta ocksa? Och ljusen de brinna pa ragade bord och barnen i vantan sta Dar borta i taket dar hanger han an der bur, som har fangat min trognaste van och sangen har tystnat i fangelseborg o, vem har ett hjarta for songarens sorg? Och strala, du klaraste stjarna i skyn blicka ned pa min alskade Nord! Och nar du gar bort under himmelens bryn valsigna min fadernejord! I blommande varar pa gyllene strand var finnes ett land som mitt fadernesland? For dig vill jag sjunga on Karlek och var sa lange din Sylvias hjarta slar
Seamos Todos Caballos Composer(s): D.A.R. Performer(s): León Gieco
Hombre crea tu paz y entonces habrá flor hombre róbate la oscuridad y también las guerras que amanecer tan largo estamos viviendo sin pensamientos y el hombre dejo de serlo y el hombre dejo de serlo
Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra paz seamos todos caballos y habra libertad porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos porque los caballos son carceleros del campo y el hombre de sus hermanos
Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra flor seamos todos caballos y habra color verde porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos porque los caballos son carceleros del campo y el hombre de sus hermanos
Seamos Humanos Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Chelo
Aquí se nos acaba tristemente aquello que juramos cumplir con nuestro Dios aquí nos despedimos para siempre sabiendo que el olvido se impuso a nuestro amor
No vamos a insultarnos mutuamente ni vamos a decirnos de quién fue la traición no seamos tan vulgares ni tan bajos si vamos a dejarnos que no sea con rencor
Tan siquiera una vez en la vida seamos humanos por respeto al Señor de allá arriba dame tus manos
Abrázame como antes me abrazabas y mírame sonriendo al fin de la ilusión no importa que nos vean enamorados así de apasionados dígamonos adiós
Tan siquiera una vez en la vida seamos humanos por respeto al Señor de allá arriba dame tus manos
All Things Dull And Ugly Composer(s): Eric Idle Performer(s): Monthy Python
All things dull and ugly All creatures short and squat All things rude and nasty The Lord God made the lot Each little snake that poisons Each little wasp that stings He made their brutish venom He made their horrid wings All things sick and cancerous All evil great and small All things foul and dangerous The Lord God made them all Each nasty little hornet Each beastly little squid Who made the spikey urchin Who made the sharks He did All things scabbed and ulcerous All pox both great and small Putrid, foul and gangrenous The Lord God made them all Amen
Non dire no, che ti conosco e lo so cosa pensi non dirmi no os tempos vao foram-se os tempos e agora te calas tu jà nao falas se falo de amor se tens as malas prontas, nao finjas, tudo acabou porque jà nao se ve o teu sorriso ao amanhecer porque jà nao sou mais teu bem-querer se ami sia quando tutto finisce se ami sai come un brivido triste come in un film dalle scene già viste che se ne va oh no! se o amor acaba a ninguem cabe a culpa se o amor acaba nao cabe desculpa agora aperte as minhas maos, sim pra que reste o recordar, sim ananha e non si può chiudere gli occhi e far finta di niente come fai tu quando resti con me e non trovi il coraggio di dirmi che cosa c'è. sarà dentro di me come una notte d'inverno perchè sarà da oggi in poi senza di te sei que me amavas e agora è tao tarde sei que me amavas e agora è saudade non nosso filme o fim serà triste nao quero ver, oh nao! sabes que è chegada a hora das dores dores de quando se acabam os amores agora aperte as minhas maos, sim pra que reste o recordar, sim amanha nao estaras mais aqui
