Adiviname Quien Soy Composer(s): Lissette - Willy Chirino Performer(s): Raphael
Adiviname Quien Soy Tu Conoces Mis Canciones Yo Soy Aquel Que Se Expone A Romperse La Garganta Y A Morirse En Lo Que Canta Hasta Tenerte A Tus Pies
Tu Me Has Visto Alguna Vez Subido En Un Escenario O Escuchaste Un Comentario Mientras Canto Mis Pasiones Mis Secretos Y Emociones Al Amor Y Al Desamor
Y Si Eres Observador Por Mi Ademan Y Mi Acento Sabras Que Soy Andaluz Español Ciento Por Ciento Y Armado De Un Corazon De Conquistas Y De Hazañas
No Es Facil Saber Quien Soy Si Solo Me Ves De Afuera Que Sabe Nadie Ni Quisieran Saber Los Que Me Investigan Porque Digan Lo Que Digan Yo Siempre Toco Madera
Por Ella, Mi Compañera Por Mis Hijos Y Mi Suerte Porque Sigo Siendo Fuerte Para Seguir Mi Camino Y Porque Fue Mi Destino Caminar De Frente Al Sol
Y Si Eres Observador Por Mi Ademan Y Mi Acento Sabras Que Soy Andaluz Español Ciento Por Ciento Y Armado De Un Corazon De Conquistas Y De Hazañas

The Mem'ry Of A Rose Composer(s): Richard Young - Jimmy Kennedy Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
The memry of a rose Is with me as I wander The memry of a rose She gave me long ago As evening comes and goes I dream she waits out yonder And so I take my way Day by day With the memry of a rose
One stolen hour, a promise broken carelessly A lovely bride once said "I will", but not to me...
The southwind when it blows Brings only recollection Theres nothing else to bring So I cling To the memry of a rose...
What Am I Here For? Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Frankie Laine Performer(s): Duke Ellington; and various other artists
What am I here for Living in mis'ry Now that you've gone from my heart? That was my fear for You were my future There was no reason to part
'Till I hope you change your mind And that somehow you will find You are meant to be my own I'll be lost if I'm alone
I know that you remember All that you told me Times when you hold me so tight How could you grieve me How could you leave me Knowing your love is my light
In your ear that should be Thoughts of your return to me I will be happy Patiently waiting Knowing then, that's why I'm here

Adios, Americano Composer(s): Sam Coslow Performer(s): Bob Crosby Orch.; Bob Cats
"Adios, Americano" don't stay away too long You make me to cry, you make me to sigh With what you call "Blue Song" "Adios, Americano" is all she keeps saying
"I save for you kiss, I save for you bliss Like heaven above I say no to Felipe and Pancho who promised a great big rancho I laugh in their face when they try to get big embrace"
"Adios, Americano" your baby she trust you But if you tell lie, she want for to die, goodbye!"
What About Me? Composer(s): Kenny Rogers; David Foster; Richard Marx Performer(s): Kenny Rogers; and various other artists
I see you here with me I've waited all my life for someone like you Someone to give my heart and soul to
I look into your eyes Your love for me was such a welcome surprise I think at last I've found forever
But what about me? (I'll always love you) What about me? (I'll always need you) You were my love before But I need so much more of you
Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind Or maybe this is what lovers must go through It never entered my mind We could be wasting our time What am I gonna do? But what about me?
No reason to pretend True love affairs don't have to come to an end The moment we don't have all the answers
I nearly go insane Each and every time I hear you whisper my name I feel the same when I'm around you
But what about me? (I'll always love you) What about me? (I'll always need you) This is so hard for me I wanted so much to be with you
Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind Or maybe this is what lovers must go through It never entered my mind We could be wasting our time What am I gonna do?
Adiós Muchachos ((English Version: I Get Ideas (by Tony Martin) - 1951)) Composer(s): Julio César Sanders - César Vedani Performer(s): Agustin Magaldi - 1927 Covered by multiple other artists
Adiós, muchachos, compañeros de mi vida barra querida de aquellos tiempos Me toca a mí hoy emprender la retirada debo alejarme de mi buena muchachada Adiós, muchachos. Ya me voy y me resigno... Contra el destino nadie la talla... Se terminaron para mí todas las farras mi cuerpo enfermo no resiste más...
Acuden a mi mente recuerdos de otros tiempos de los bellos momentos que antaño disfruté cerquita de mi madre santa viejita y de mi noviecita que tanto idolatré... ¿Se acuerdan que era hermosa más bella que una diosa y que ebrio yo de amor le di mi corazón mas el Señor, celoso de sus encantos hundiéndome en el llanto me la llevó?
Es Dios el juez supremo No hay quien se le resista Ya estoy acostumbrado su ley a respetar pues mi vida deshizo con sus mandatos al robarme a mi madre y a mi novia también Dos lágrimas sinceras derramo en mi partida por la barra querida que nunca me olvidó y al darles, mis amigos mi adiós postrero les doy con toda mi alma mi bendición...
What About Love? Composer(s): Brian Allen; Sheron Alton; Jim Vallance Performer(s): Heart
I've been lonely, I've been waitin' for you I'm pretending and that's all I can do The love I'm sending ain't making it through To your heart
You've been hiding, never lettin' it show Always tryin' to keep it under control You got it down and you're well on the way to the top But there's something that you forgot
What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you You might need it someday
I can't tell you what you're feelin' inside And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy Something's missin' and you got to look back on your life You know something here just ain't right
What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you
What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you
Oh, love Oh, oh, what about love, love Ooh...ooh...ooh... What about love, love, love, love What about, what about love Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...ooh...

What A World Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
Now it was Christmas Day in the jailhouse The old man sat in his cell "Put out your pudding, for treacle" He heard the warden yell "If you want treacle on your pudding Put it out without delay" The old man put out his pudding And the warden took it away
Chorus What a world, (what a world) what a place, (what a place) Ain't you glad you're a member of the human race
Now the folksinger came from America To sing at the Albert Hall He sang his songs of protest And fairer shares for all He sang how the poor were much too poor And the rich too rich by far Then he drove back to his penthouse In his brand new Rolls Royce car
[chorus]
Now Annie's a shorthand typist Working for the B.B.C. Her brother Jackie's in prison d Doing three years for forgery Her sister Josie's in Holloway In Dartmoor is her Uncle Jim And her dad runs a pirate radio ship But she never talks about him
[chorus]
Now three old maids had a she-cat Kept her indoors night and day Kept her away from the he-cats Thought she'd like it better that way Then one old maid went and got married The next morning she hastened to write A note to the others which simply said "Let kitty out tonight"
[chorus]
Now the button was pressed, the world destroyed Leaving just one solitary man And at the top of the Empire State Building His lonely existance began But his loneliness was too much so he jumped And he fell like a bird with one wing And as he passed the seventh floor He heard the telephone ring
Adiós Juventud No puedo esconder las canas Adiós Juventud las ganas De volver a salir A marcha camión A grapa y limón Me queda un verso por decir Antes de partir Adiós Corazón Adiós Carnaval (Adiós Barrio Sur) El tiempo no pasa en vano Adiós Barrio Sur la mano De unos cuantos fue cruel No les convenció El borocotó Un nuevo cementerio ven Les parece bien Adiós a Cuareim Adiós al talud (Adiós Corazón) El cuerpo ya no responde Adiós Juventud adónde Voy a ir si no estás Parezco un Pierrot Que triste quedó Con el recuerdo de un disfraz Que no sirve más Adiós Marabú Adiós Carnaval (Adiós Juventud) Prometo volver entero Adiós Carnaval espero Recorrerte otra vez Cantarle al rigor Un nuevo cuplé Hasta que el rulo del tambor Marque otro final Adiós Carnaval
Parece mentira las cosas que veo Por las calles de Montevideo

I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people goin' by I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?" They're really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world

Adios compadre, what must be must be Remember to name one muchacho for me I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend Adios amigo, adios my friend
Adios compadre, let us shed no tears May all your mañanas bring joy through the years Away from these memories, my life I must spend Adios amigo, adios my friend
