A Mi Próximo Amor Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
A mi próximo amor le daré lo mejor que me ha dado la vida mi sonrisa más fiel, mi infantil madurez y mis horas vividas A mi próximo amor le daré tanto amor como tenga conmigo y en sus ojos veré, y en sus manos veré como crece ante mí Le daré la inquietud de los años más bellos, que viví y jamás sentirá, la profunda maldad que aprendí junto a ti Ese próximo amor será tan de verdad como el fuego y el viento no tendrá que mentir, ni tendré que decir nunca más que lo siento será fuerte y capaz, será grande y audaz como las tempestades y pequeño a la vez, refrescante a la vez como lluvia de abril Y en su piel grabaré la venganza más dulce, para ti cuando te hablen de mi, y te duela saber que me siento feliz En mi próximo amor no habrá nunca rencor ni silencios que hieran y gritar será hablar, y el hablar será un mar de palabras sinceras sin dolor la veré junto a mi envejecer sin dejar de ser niños y hasta el último adiós, sentiremos los dos la alegría de vivir Yo sé bien que ese amor es un sueño que el odio, crea en mi pero quiero pensar, para herirte aún más en mi próximo amor En su piel grabaré la venganza más dulce, para ti cuando te hablen de mi y te duela saber, que me siento feliz Yo sé bien que ese amor es un sueño que el odio, crea en mi pero quiero pensar, para herirte aún más en mi próximo amor

Okay mijn tijd is om Dit wordt een lied van afscheidswoorden Ik zong mijn levenslied voor iedereen Die het graag hoorden Dat lied is net als ik Het wil aan u veel liefde geven Mijn lied, mijn levenslied Dat is mijn leven Al werd ik vaak verguisd Veel pijn doen die herinneringen Ik bleef mijn levenslied met hart en ziel Toch altijd zingen De weg die ik moest gaan Die ging beslist niet over rozen Maar toch, ik zette door Ik had gekozen Ik heb gebracht waar u van hield En voor kritiek nog nooit geknield Er zei een stem diep in mijn hart Geef het niet op, vergeet je smart Dus zong ik door, altijd maar door Dit was mijn leven Ik denk zo graag terug Met dankbaarheid in mijn gedachten Hoe vaak de mensen mij Spontaan en blij hun bloemen brachten De liefde en het applaus Die zij mij steeds hebben gegeven Die draag ik in mijn hart Mijn hele leven En breekt voor mij de tijd eens aan Dat ik voor altijd heen moet gaan Dan zal mijn laatste bede zijn Aan alle mensen groot en klein Vergeet me niet, ik had u lief Mijn hele leven

El final se hacerca ya Lo esperare serenamente Ya ves que yo he sido asi Te lo dire sinceramente Vivi la inmensidad Sin conocer jamas fronteras Jugue sin descansar Y a mi manera
Jamas vivi un amor Que para mi fuera, fuera importante Corte solo la flor Y lo mejor de cada instante Viaje y disfrute No se si mas que otro cualquiera Si bien, todo esto fue A mi manera
Tal vez llore o tal vez rei Tal vez gane o tal vez perdi Ahora se que fui feliz Que si llore tambien ame Puedo seguir hasta el final A mi manera
Quizas tambien dude Cuando yo mas me divertia Quizas yo desprecie Aquello que yo no comprendia Hoy se que firme fui Y que afronte ser como era Y asi logre vivir A mi manera
Porque sabras Que un hombre en fin Conoceras por su vivir No hay porque hablar ni que decir Ni recordar ni que fingir Puedo seguir hasta el final A mi manera
How Do You Do It That Way? Composer(s): Ruth Naomi Floyd; Victoria Spivey Performer(s): Victoria Spivey & Louis Armstrong
Have you ever had a feeling
that someone would come out leadin' you? If you had it's not so bad unless you found that it is all untrue Take a good girl to keep her man, some can't do it, others can I'm no chump but I would jump if I could find someone that's not unlike me too
Oh when the river runs, flowers are bloomin' in May And if you get good business, how do you do it that way?
Streetwalkin' women, they are happy and gay But I'm never happy, how do you get that way?
I want a man to be near, because he bring good care But the men don't like me, they don't seem to care
Now they can come and go, to and fro every day But I can't make 'em like me, how do you do it that way?
Now if you want somethin' good, you mustn't knock on wood Just get a good man to look up under your hood
And when the rooster and the hen go to the barn to play Oh the hen has chickens, how do they do it that way?
Hermano, amigo, hermano la noche me ha atrapado como en un sueño largo lanzándome al pasado Y recuerdo tu niñez... recuerdo mi niñez... de ayer
La radio nos decía: "llegó el hombre a la Luna" mientras que tú subías a un árbol de aventuras tratando de alcanzar a tu corta edad... el sol
Hermano, aquel tiempo se fue como un barquito de papel que al norte de nuestro jardín perdió su edén sin brújula y sin capitán un día tendrá que volver y llegaremos a esa edad con otra piel
Hermano, amigo, hermano compañero de patio pirata de los nidos duende de los manzanos, recuerdo tu niñez recuerdo mi niñez... de ayer
Mientras la radio hablaba de una guerra lejana tú me preguntabas si el mundo tiene alas para poder volar para poder llegar... al sol

How Deep Is Your Love Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees
I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave And it's me you need to show ....
How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?) I really need to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me
I believe in you You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall And you may not think I care for you When you know down inside That I really do And it's me you need to show ....
How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?) I really need to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me
How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?) I really need to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me
How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?) ......

How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? How many times in a day Do I think of you? How many roses are Sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel Just to be where you are? How far is the journey From here to a star? And if I ever lost you How much would I cry? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

I just got your letter baby Too bad you can't come home I swear Im goin' crazy Sittin' here all alone Since your gone I got a mess of blues
I ain't slept a week since Sunday I can't eat a thing all day Every day is just blue Monday Since you've been away Since your gone I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop Rollin' down my face If you cry when you're in love It sure ain't no disgrace
Whoops there goes a teardrop Rollin' down my face If you cry when you're in love It sure ain't no disgrace
I gotta get myself together Before I lose my mind I'm gonna catch the next train goin' And leave my blues behind Since your gone I got a mess of blues I got a mess of blues
How Cruel Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
Some people want to see my blood gush out And others want to watch while I cry I heard somebody say once I was way too black And someone answers she's not black enough for me
I bite my tongue and it bites me back I bought a house and the neighbours moved I had a dog but it was stolen
Some people say that it's coming And I'll get it It must be something I have no control of They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground And I'll slip and fall
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry Oh how cruel to make a girl cry Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
I have no hope in hell and I want to get to heaven Too many lies or not enough sinnin'
Some people say that it's coming And I'll get it It must be something I have no control of They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground And I'll slip and fall
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry Oh how cruel to make a girl cry Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
A Memory Like I'm Gonna Be Composer(s): Jerry Laseter - Roger Murrah Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
I can hear you smilin' on the 'phone Bet you thought that I'd be cryin' Go on, tell yourself I done you wrong But we both know you'd be lyin' We don't have to have a reason If your heart is set on leavin'
To remember on some rainy day A little simple word or thought Or a birthday card I bought Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away You never can be free From a memory like I'm gonna be
That greener grass you think you see Hah, is just a high-heeled illusion Better count the cost of bein' free Is it worth all that you're losin'? It may be over, but it's not ending 'Cause there's one thing you're forgetting
An' you'll remember on some rainy day The little things we used to do Like that night in Baton Rouge Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away You never can be free From a memory like I'm gonna be
When it all comes back someday You'll be surprised on some lonely night When you close your eyes
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away You never can be free From a memory like I'm gonna be
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(From a memory)
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away You never can be free From a memory like I'm gonna be

A Memory Away Composer(s): Warren Robb - David Kirby Performer(s): Gene Watson
I woke up this morning Thinking 'bout those times You and love and I were more Only on my mind
I let myself go drifting Way back in my dreams Let my memory bring you back to me
Your love is just a memory away I can count on yesterday I can have you, antyime I want to You're always just a memory away
Love can change a beggar Make a poor man king Love can build a castle Out of almost anything
Minds can still work miracles That even I can see When my memory brings you back to me
Your love is just a memory away I can count on yesterday I can have you, anytime I want to You're always just a memory away You're always just a memory away
How Could I Love Her So Much? Composer(s): Hugh Moffatt Performer(s): Johnny Rodriguez; Hugh Moffatt
I went over to him, said you may not know me But I sure do know who you are Don't worry my anger was spent long ago And only the memory remains But Lord, how I suffered, sometimes I still wonder And maybe now you can explain
Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How did you know how to hold her and please her How did you know what to do
After all of the time I spent learning to love her And be what she needed me to Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
He said, Friend let me buy you a drink And I'll tell you a story that's sad, but it's true How I loved her and held her till some licker stole her From me, like I stole her from you
I guess no one can own her, her heart's like a soldier Of fortune, her love's like the wind Till all I can think of is finding a new love And asking this question again
How could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How did you know how to hold her and please her How did you know what to do
After all of the time I spent learning to love her And be what she needed me to Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
How could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
