Alabam Composer(s): Lloyd Estel Copas Performer(s): Cowboy Copas and multiple other artists
Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street The people down there are eatin' like wild geese So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time Eatin' up their chickens and drinkin' their wine I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam Some folks say that a tramp won't steal but I cought three in my corn field I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam Well one had a bushel and one had a peck one had a roast'near tied around his neck I'm on my way I'm a goin' back to Alabam
Hey there comes Sal walkin' down the street with the run down shoes tied on her feet Mornin' honey I'm on my way to Alabam Hey hello Sal now how are you with the run down slipper and tore up shoe I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam When I get ready to leave this earth I'm a goin' back to my money's worth I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
As I was walking down by the Strand I met a young lady all dressed up so grand With features of finery and jewels set in gold Said she was a maiden, just nineteen years old
Her fingers were tapered, her neck like a swan Her head tipped a little, her voice not too strong In six weeks we were married, the wedding bells tolled I'd married that maiden, just nineteen years old
After the wedding we retired to rest I thought I would die when that female undressed A trunk full of cotton she first did unload I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old
She took off her left leg as high as her knee She took off her fingers, I countered but three While there on the carpet her glass eye did roll I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old
She took off her eyebrows, I thought I would faint Next from her mug came a carload of paint She took off her false wig, her old bald head told I thought it peculiar for a nineteen year old
She took out her teeth, I jumped up in terror Her chin and her nose fell right in together Now I'm telling you folks she was a sight to behold That fair little maiden just nineteen years old
Now all you young fella's when courting you go Make sure she is perfect from head to her toe You'll pay for your folly, like mine you you'll be sold To a patched up old maid about ninety years old
When You Lose The One You Love Composer(s): Rodd Arden; Jimmy Harper; Don Pelosi Performer(s): David Whitfield
When you lose the one you love How lonely life can be With just the memory Those loving souvenirs Will only bring you tears When you lose the one you love
Friends may smile at you and say That time can heal your pain You'll fall in love again But in your heart you know It never can be so When you lose the one you love
There was someone dear to me I lost through jealousy Now we're apart So will you take heed my friend A million tears won't mend A broken heart
Just close your eyes to jealousy And if you love her so Don't ever let her go Because I know, my friend Your happiness will end When you lose the one you love
Al Margen De La Vida Composer(s): P. Barouh - Francis Lai - R. de León Performer(s): Raphael
Yo tengo por misión cantar Y dejo en mi canción volar Y va mi corazón feliz Al margen de la vida Yo gozo con hacer el bien Y siempre sin mirar a quien Pues donde vi un pesar Mi voz logró la paz llevar Tal vez al final llegué a recoger Del mundo traiciones Más yo sin dudar siempre seguiré Sembrando canciones He visto por amor vivir Dos seres y después reñir Y luego cuando les canté Llorando se buscaron Me gusta ser así, no sé Tal vez un día cambiaré Os puedo asegurar Que no hay razón para cambiar A mí por quitar penas al amor Mil gracias me han dado Con ver sonreír a mi alrededor Me siento pagado Yo gozo con hacer el bien Y siempre sin mirar a quien Pues donde vi un pesar Mi voz logró la paz llevar Y así, tan feliz, voy con mi canción Por tierras y mares Me iré cuando ya en mi corazón No queden cantares, no queden cantares Cantares en mi corazón
When You Look In The Heart Of A Rose Composer(s): Marian Gillespie; Florence Methven
Deep in my heart I hold for you A tender thought, so sweet and true Nobody knows but this little rose, I give you
I give my love sweetheart to you Hid in a rose, so safe, secure Trusting you'll know, for ever and aye 'Twill endure
Dear little rose, with your heart of gold Dear little rose, may your petals fold My secret sweet I will trust you to keep Deep in your heart 'twill repose No one will know what your leaves conceal No one will guess what they could reveal You will know then, that I love you dear When you look in the heart of a rose
Al Lado Del Camino Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Me gusta estar al lado del camino fumando el humo mientras todo pasa Me gusta abrir los ojos y estar vivo Tener que vérmelas con la resaca entonces navegar se hace preciso en barcos que se estrellen en la nada Vivir atormentado de sentido, creo que esta, sí esta es la parte mas pesada
En tiempos donde nadie escucha a nadie En tiempos donde todos contra todos En tiempos egoístas y mezquinos En tiempos donde siempre estamos solos Habrá que declararse incompetente en todas las materias del mercado Habrá que declararse un inocente o habrá que ser abyecto y desalmado Yo ya no pertenezco a ningún ismo me considero vivo y enterrado Yo puse las canciones en tu walkman el tiempo a mi me puso en otro lado Tendré que hacer lo que es y no debido Tendré que hacer el bien y hacer el daño No olvides que el perdón es lo divino Y errar a veces suele ser humano
No es bueno nunca hacerse de enemigos que no estén a la altura del conflicto Que piensan que hacen una guerra y se hacen pis en la cama como chicos Que rondan por siniestros ministerios haciendo la parodia del artista Que todo lo que brilla en este mundo tan solo les da caspa y les da envidia
Yo era un pibe triste y encantado de Beatles, Caña legui y maravillas los libros, las canciones y los pianos el cine, las traiciones, los enigmas mi padre, las cervezas, las pastillas, los misterios, el whisky malo los óleos, el amor los escenarios el hambre, el frío, el crímen, el dinero y mis 10 tías me hicieron este hombre enreverado si alguna vez me cruzas por la calle regalame tu beso y no te aflijas
Si ves que estoy pensando en otra cosa no es nada malo es que paso una brisa la brisa de la Muerte enamorada que ronda como un ángel asesino Mas no te asustes siempre se me pasa es solo la intuición de mi destino
Me gusta estar al lado del camino fumando el humo mientras todo pasa Me gusta regresarme del olvido para acordarme en sueños de mi casa El chico que jugaba a la pelota del 49585 nadie nos prometio un jardín de rosas hablamos del peligro de estar vivos
No vine a divertir a tu familia mientras el mundo se cae a pedazos Me gusta estar al lado del camino Me gusta sentirte a mi lado Me gusta estar al lado del camino Dormirte cada noche entre mis brazos Al lado del camino Al lado del camino Al lado del camino Es mas entretenido y mas barato Al lado del camino Al lado del camino
When You Know You're Not Forgotten By The Girl You Can't Forget
When You Know You're Not Forgotten By The Girl You Can't Forget Composer(s): J. Fredric Helf; Ed Gardenier Performer(s): Frank C. Stanley; and various other artists
Gently the breeze sighs thro' the trees Two sweethearts strolling alone She heard him say at dawn of day "Far from your side I must roam" Dear ere I go, just let me know You won't forget when we part One who loves you fondly and true It cheers a sad lonely heart
When you know you're not forgotten by the girl you can't forget When you find the girl you left behind is thinking of you yet `Round your heart a feeling stealing Comes to drive away regret When you know you're not forgotten By the girl you can't forget
"Roses may fade" answered the maid "Clouds may turn sunshine to gloom But in my heart, tho' we're apart Love for you ever will bloom Thro' weary years, thro' smiles and tears You'll find me faithful and true Dear Heart you'll learn when you return, that I'm still waiting for you"
When you know you're not forgotten by the girl you can't forget When you find the girl you left behind is thinking of you yet `Round your heart a feeling stealing Comes to drive away regret When you know you're not forgotten By the girl you can't forget
Al Horizonte De Un Suburbio Composer(s): Jorge Luis Borges - Victor Proncet Performer(s): Valeria Munarriz & Jorge Luis Borges
Pampa: Yo diviso tu anchura que ahonda las afueras yo me estoy desangrando en tus ponientes
Pampa: Yo te oigo en las tenaces guitarras sentenciosas y en altos benteveos y en el ruido cansado de los carros de pasto que vienen del verano
Pampa: El ámbito de un patio colorado me basta para sentirte mía
Pampa: Yo sé que te desgarran surco y callejones y el viento que te cambia Pampa sufrida y macha que ya estás en los cielos no sé si eres la muerte. Sé que estás en mi pecho
When You Hear Big Ben Composer(s): Harry Leon; Mark Malloy; Jack Scott Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Josef Locke
When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home, dear, where you belong Though youre far away each night and day Youll cry when you hear his song He stands by the river that flows to the sea His hands are together like ours used to be When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home in my arms sweetheart
(Chorus)
When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home, dear, where you belong Though youre far away each night and day Youll cry when you hear his song
(Doreen) He stands by the river that flows to the sea His hands are together like ours used to be
(All) When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home in my arms sweetheart
Al Final De La Segunda Luna Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Esta va a ser mi canción mas sencilla Que no hablará de nada, que hablará de todo No es necesario mencionar la vida Para que se sienta su presencia en los ojos Al final de la segunda luna Empecé a no hacer nada con las manos Sólo por un momento Y entonces tuve ganas De hablar al ancho justo De la palabra humana De la palabra humana
Como si no tuviera ningún nombre Y no existiera historia de los hombres Mas allá del atávico pasado Del presente y futuro deseado Sin ningún compromiso con el mundo Como si todo fuese este segundo Cual si todo naciera con mis labios Cual si todo muriera con mis labios
Ay otra dimensión desconocida Más fuerte que la muerte y que la vida Más sustancial que el mundo y su belleza Que nace y muere siempre donde empieza Estar como se está, como se siente Es más claro y más negro que decirlo Que tratar de explicarlo Por eso ya no sigo Sólo quise decir Que es tremendo estar vivo Que es tremendo estar vivo
When You Dance Composer(s): Andrew Jones Performer(s): The Turbans; and various other artists
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
When you dance you'll feel the warmth of her embrace Then you'll know this feeling, yeah is no disgrace Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
You may do a rhumba or a tango Mambo, calypso or a strand Lights are turned down low You go hand in....
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
Al Final De Este Viaje En La Vida Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Al final de este viaje en la vida quedarán nuestros cuerpos hinchados de ir a la muerte, al odio, al borde del mar Al final de este viaje en la vida quedará nuestro rastro invitando a vivir Por lo menos por eso es que estoy aquí Somos prehistoria que tendrá el futuro somos los anales remotos del hombre Estos años son el pasado del cielo estos años son cierta agilidad con que el sol se dibuja en el porvenir son la verdad o el fin son Dios Quedamos los que puedan sonreír en medio de la muerte, en plena luz
Al final de este viaje en la vida quedará una cura de tiempo y amor una gasa que envuelva un viejo dolor Al final de este viaje en la vida quedarán nuestros cuerpos tendidos al sol como sábanas blancas después del amor Al final del viaje está el horizonte al final del viaje partiremos de nuevo al final del viaje comienza el camino otro buen camino que seguir descalzos contando la arena Al final del viaje estamos tu y yo intactos Quedamos los que puedan sonreír en medio de la muerte, en plena luz
When You Dance (Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes)
When You Dance Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen; Steven Van Zandt Performer(s): Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes
When you dance I hear the music rocking everywhere When you dance I see the lights shining through your hair When you dance The band was blowing like a hurricane When you dance You look so fine but you don't know my name
Come near baby, don't be afraid Just one taste won't do I can't hold back one more day Sugar I know I got to dance with you
When you dance Your smile ain't hiding what you're thinking of When you dance Your body trembles like you're making love When you move, baby My soul is aching and my blood runs hot Run into me now My heart is breaking, shaking what you got
Come near baby, don't ne afraid Just one taste won't do I can't hold back one more day Sugar I know I got to dance with you
Shake'em down now
Come near baby, don't be afraid Just one taste won't do I can't hold back one more day Sugar I know I got to dance with you
Oh yeah baby When you dance I hear the music rocking everywhere When you dance baby This time you tumble, honey I don't care When you dance
When You Believe Composer(s): Babyface; Stephen Schwartz Performer(s): Whitney Houston
Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood
Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long Before we knew we could (Oh yes)
There can be miracles when you believe Though hope is frail its hard to kill Who knows what miracles you can achieve When you believe, somehow you will You will when you believe (oh yeah)
In this time of fear When prayers so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here With heart so full I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles when you believe (when you believe) Though hope is frail its hard to kill Who knows what miracles you can achieve (you can achieve) When you believe, somehow you will You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask And its easy to give in to your fears (oh) But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see your way straight though the rain a small but still, resilient voice Says love is very near (yeah yeah)
There can be miracles (miracles) when you believe (lord when you believe oh ho) Though hope is frail (though hope is frail) it's hard to kill (it's haaaard to kill oh oh) Who knows what miracles you can achieve When you believe, (oohooh) somehow you will somehow you will You will when you believe
You will when you believe Just believe Just believe (oh yeah) You will when you believe
Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón ((French & German Versions: Mais Il Y A L'accordéon (Dalida); Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon (Dalida)) Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Don Diego Performer(s): Dalida
Yo sé nuestro mundo es una obsesión Yo sé que la guerra es una invención Y que la tierra rueda como un balón Y que el hombre no frena su ambición Yo sé nuestro mundo es todo ficción Y que el cielo es una constelación Que sea rosa o azul como la ilusión Que la tierra es roja como la pasión
Pero al oír mi acordeón Con su cantar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Me hace latir el corazón Al escuchar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Al recordar con emoción Mi dulce Francia
Porqué los senderos que sigue el amor Porqué van sembrados de llanto y dolor Y al girar la rueda de tu destino La felicidad no cruza tu camino
Pero al oír mi acordeón Con su cantar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Me hace latir el corazón Al escuchar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Al recordar con emoción Mi dulce Francia
En un cafetín del viejo Montmartre Allí encontré un viejo pintor Y también artistas hablando de su arte Y en el mostrador un poeta soñador
Y en un rincón mi acordeón Con su cantar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Me hace latir el corazón Al escuchar mi acordeón Me hace soñar mi acordeón Al recordar con emoción Mi dulce Francia
When You Are A King Composer(s): Roger Hill; Johnny Hill Performer(s): White Plains; Jackie Lee
Parting in your hair, it's hardly ever there Wash your face Shabby in your dress, always look a mess Don't you care? Mummy's there to see you always look your best Change your dirty vest
When you grow to be a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king Everywhere you go, people bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king
Tore your shirt again, fighting in the rain With whats-his-name Shoe-black on your face, you're really a disgrace Mummy smiles and all the while Because she loves you She will worry so And if you're good you know
That when you grow to be a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king Everywhere you go, people bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king
When you are a king Never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king. Everywhere you go, people bowing low Carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't ever touch a thing When you are a king
When Yankee Doodle Learns To "Parlez Vous Français"
When Yankee Doodle Learns To "Parlez Vous Français" Composer(s): Will Hart; Ed. Nelson
When Yankee Doodle came to Paris town Upon his face he wore a little frown To those he'd meet upon the street he couldn't speak a word To find a Miss that he could kiss it seemed to be absurd But if this Yankee should stay there awhile Upon his face you're bound to see a smile
Soon Yankee Doodle he left Paris town Upon his face there was a coat of brown For every man of Uncle Sam was fighting in a trench Between each shell, they learned quite well to speak a little French When Yankee Doodle gets back to Paree He'll break a million hearts take it from me
When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français Parlez vous Français, in the proper way He will call each girlie "Ma Chérie" To every Miss that wants a kiss he'll say Wee, Wee On Ze Be, On Ze Bou, On Ze Boule, Boulevard With a girl, with a curl, you can see him promenade When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français "Oo La La, Sweet Papa" he will teach them all to say
