Canta Y Sé Feliz
First performance by: Peret - 1974



Alegría, si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si la canción que yo canto
no te llena de alegría
por más cosas que te diga
no sirve de ná'
Si no tienes quien te quiera
ni a quien decirle te quiero
buscar amor con dinero
no sirve de ná'
Si eres tan inteligente
que nadie puede entenderte
enfadarte con la gente
no sirve de ná'
Si al sol no puedes tumbarte
y en paz tomar una copa
decir que estás en Europa
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si para olvidar las penas
necesitas tomar vino
no lo hagas buen amigo
no sirve de ná'
Si le paras a una rubia
cuando vas por la autopista
y luego es un estopista
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Ay, si queréis tener, cantar
alegría sí, cantar
que para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Cantar y cantar

Playful Melody
Composer(s): Mel Leven



All of the bells in the town are ringin'
Say can't you hear all the people singin'
'Cause of the way the band can play that playful melody
Oh how your happy feet will wander
Onto the dancin' floor down yonder
When they play that playful melody
Happy as you are
find a little star
Place it in the sky above
Make it big and bright
and its shiny light
has to light the night 
For those who fall in love
You'll see a field full of leaf clover
Your happiness has to bubble over
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody

Slippers With Wings
Composer(s): Willy Dalton; Randall Hylton
Performer(s): Charlie Waller; James Easter; Sheri Easter



Susie was three when she first blessed our home 
We loved her as much as a child of our own
Her little legs were all twisted and frail
It was never meant for Susie to be well

In her little bed time prayers she would say
Lord I know you've been busy today
But if you get some time please pretty please 
Can I have some slippers with wings

She'd love to watch the kids in the playground nearby
They'd call Susie's name she would wave and say hi
Tiny teardrops would leave the window stained 
It was never meant for Susie to complain 

She would say to her brown puppy dog
Little Skippy I know it won't be long 
Till I run and play tag like my friends 
God sending me pretty slippers with wings

Susie turned four and her little legs turned weak
Pain took it's tole and the colour left her cheeks
Christmas eve came and we gathered around Susie's bed
And these are the last words she said

Mommy, mommy there's a man dressed in white 
Daddy look he is shinny and bright 
And he's holding some ribbons and some string 
Around a pretty pair of slippers with wings 

And if ever I am certain of one certain thing
Susie's wearing golden slippers with wings

You took their love for a game of joy Oh yeah
And tossed their hearts around as if it was a toy

'Cause this is one heart you won't destroy
'Cause I can't stand for what you're puttin down
Fooling around with every girl in town
Playboy

Well,you ain't saying nothing in my book
Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook
You left the others standing with their hearts in pain
And now you're coming round trying to do me the same

So Playboy I've seen your kind
Winning every girl with that same old line
So Playboy stay away from my door
I know about the lovers you had before
Playboy

Whoa you know you've got to
Watch out here comes that Playboy

Watch out here comes that Playboy
Oh you've got to

Watch out here comes that Playboy
Watch out for de Playboy
He's bringing you false joy

Watch out here comes that Playboy
Watch out here comes that Playboy

Long Live Love
Composer(s): Valerie Avon; Harold Spiro
First performance by: Olivia Newton-John - 1974



Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love

All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love

On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

Playboy
Composer(s): Gene Thomas
Performer(s): Gene & Debbe



Hey boy, to me you're just a playboy
Never mean a word you say, boy
I'm so afraid you'll go away and leave me lonely

Why, girl, do you believe a lie, girl
Why can't you see that you're my world
Believe me when I say to you, I love you only

I never knew that love could hurt me like this
Till you came along with your kiss

Then I fell under your spell
Knowing quite well that you would only hurt me

Gee, girl, why can't I make you see, girl
Just what you mean to me, girl
Then you would know I'd never go away without you

Oh, boy, I wish that I could know, boy
If what you say is so, boy
Then I would never care what they all say about you

I never knew that love could hurt me like this
Till you came along with your kiss

Then I fell knowing quite well
That someone would tell you I would only hurt you

Hey, now, does it matter what they say
Gonna love you anyway now

If you and I would fight together
I know we'll find love

Slip Slidin' Away
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Slip slidin' away 
Slip slidin' away 
You know the nearer your destination 
The more you're slip slidin' away 

I know a man 
He came from my home town 
He wore his passion for his woman 
Like a thorny crown 
He said Delores 
I live in fear 
My love for you's so overpowering 
I'm afraid that I will disappear 

Slip slidin' away 
Slip slidin' away 
You know the nearer your destination 
The more you're slip slidin' away 

I know a woman 
Became a wife 
These are the very words she uses 
To describe her life 
She said a good day 
Ain't got no rain 
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed 
And think of things that might have been 

Slip slidin' away 
Slip slidin' away 
You know the nearer your destination 
The more you're slip slidin' away 

And I know a father 
Who had a son 
He longed to tell him all the reasons 
For the things he'd done 
He came a long way 
Just to explain 
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping 
Then he turned around and headed home again 

Slip slidin' away 
Slip slidin' away 
You know the nearer your destination 
The more you're slip slidin' away 

God only knows 
God makes his plan 
The information's unavailable 
To the mortal man 
We work our jobs 
Collect our pay 
Believe we're gliding down the highway 
When in fact we're slip slidin' away

Playa Girón

Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Compañeros poetas
tomando en cuenta los últimos suceso
en la poesía, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de adjetivos se deben usar
para hacer el poema de un barco
sin que se haga sentimental, fuera de la vanguardia
o evidente panfleto
si debo usar palabras como
Flota Cubana de Pesca y
«Playa Girón»?

Compañeros de música
tomando en cuenta esas politonales
y audaces canciones, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de armonía se debe usar
para hacer la canción de este barco
con hombres de poca niñez, hombres y solamente
hombres sobre cubierta
hombres negros y rojos y azules
los hombres que pueblan el «Playa Girón»?

Compañeros de historia
tomando en cuenta lo implacable
que debe ser la verdad, quisiera preguntar
me urge tanto
¿qué debiera decir, qué fronteras debo respetar?
Si alguien roba comida
y después da la vida, ¿qué hacer?
¿Hasta donde debemos practicar las verdades?
¿Hasta donde sabemos?
Que escriban, pues, la historia, su historia
los hombres del «Playa Girón»

Keep Me Warm
First performance by: Carita Holmström - 1974



Oh... my friend, stay a little while
Something's happening to our lives
By the time it's Summer
Frightened minds are Winter

I will free from their icy spell
Bring you fragrance from nature's well
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm

I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me

Oh... my friend, stay and sit with me
The nights ahead could be warm and free
The morning winds - I give you
I won't disappoint you
Say you'll stay and keep me warm

I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me

Oh... my friend, when the Summer comes
We'll be younger, we'll have our fun
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm

Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm

Now the gypsy band rest their caravan
Where I hear concealed the song
Dusky magic falls, gypsy music calls
Oft to lovers one by one

A lover strums his fiddle while he hums his little song
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Play, fiddler play, play my loved one a melody
Sing to my love while the stars swing above
Play, fiddle play, sing my loved one a rhapsody
Play on the strings of her heart

The campfires are gleaming as red as the sun
And my heart keeps dreaming, just dreaming of one
So softly, croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love

Croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love

What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you would try to slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away, oh I need you so
Oh love oh love, how sweet it is
When you still involve it
Let me tell you how sweet it is
Now I know it's wrong 
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling 
I don't mean to hurt you
But can you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone
Baby we could meet somewhere
Somewhere we both are not known
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away-ay-ay-ay I need you so
Oh can you slip away baby
I'd like to see you right now darling
Can you slip away baby
Cause I got to, got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside
Oh I wish you could slip away ...

Play With Fire
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Nanker Phelge; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Well you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And your chaffeur drives your cars
You let everybody know

But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Your mother, she's an heiress
Owns a block in St. John's Wood
And your father would be there with her
If he only could

But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stedley
Not in Knightsbridge anymore

So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Now you've got some diamonds
And you will get some others
But you'd better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother

So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Sans Toi
Composer(s): Anne Gregory; Paul Koulak
First performance by: Martine Clémenceau - 1973



Tout le monde autour de chose parlait d'amour
Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour

J'attendais, je t'espérais, j'espérais, je te cherchais
Mais c'est fou, tu existais
L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà

Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi, sans toi

Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin
J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien

Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi

Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi

Sans toi

Play The Game Tonight
Composer(s): Phil Ehart; Danny Flower;
Rob Frazier; Kerry Livgren; Rich Williams
Performer(s): Kansas



You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again

Chorus:
Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight
Then play the game tonight

And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it all over again

Chorus

Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
White as snow
Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
Is white as snow
Tell it everywhere you go
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back
I know you're dying, baby
And I know you know it, too
I know you're dying
And I know you know it, too
Everytime I see you
I just don't know what to do

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go

All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game - yeah
Everybody play the game of love
Ooh yeah

My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins
Play the game

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

Spent his life growing flowers
Caring for the bees
Power to the bees

There's one old lady
Spent her days making wine
The wine tasted fine
Power to the vine

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before

Baby, power to you and me

There's one strong man
Ploughing in the valley
He's living off the land
Power to the land

There's some young girl
Laying down in Monte Carlo
Laying in the sun
Power to the sun

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends

Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet

Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me

To the music that never ends
Baby, power to all our friends

Hey do it now yeah hey

Yeah
There was a funky singer 
Playing in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah 
Burning down one night stands 
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feeling so low 
And I decided quickly
Yes I did
To disco down and check out the show 
Yeah they was 

Dancing and singing and moving to the groin' 
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted 
Play that funky music white boy 
Play that funky music right 
Play that funky music white boy 
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die 
Till you die , oh till you die

Changing Rock & Roll and minds 
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were..... 
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin' 
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted 
Play that funky music white boy

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die 
Till you die, oh till you die

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



If I were the type to play around
It wouldn't be so bad,
But I didn't know my way around
And what a time I had!

I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight

So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight

So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show

So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand

Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand

It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
