Dicey Reilly
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners
and multiple other artists
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up It's off each morning to the pop And then she's in for another little drop Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air And then it's down by Summerhill and as the people stare She says it's nearly half past one and it's time I had another little one Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up It's off each morning to the pop And then she's in for another little drop Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong Or lovely Becky Cooper or Maggie's Mary Wong One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name And the name of that dame was Dicey Reilly
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up It's off each morning to the pop And then she's in for another little drop Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
But time went catching up on her like many pretty whores It's after you along the street before you're out the door Their balance vague, their looks all fade, but out of all that great brigade Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up It's off each morning to the pop And then she's in for another little drop Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Aqualung Composer(s): Jennie Anderson - Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent Snot running down his nose greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run Feeling like a dead duck spitting out pieces of his broken luck Sun streaking cold an old man wandering lonely Taking time the only way he knows Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog-end he goes down to the bog and warms his feet Feeling alone the army's up the rode salvation `a la mode and a cup of tea Aqualung my friend don't start away uneasy you poor old sod, you see, it's only me Do you still remember December's foggy freeze when the ice that clings on to your beard is screaming agony And you snatch your rattling last breaths with deep-sea-diver sounds and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring

Heeey, Tommy uit Tennessee I I I love you Heeey Tommy uit Tennessee Yes I I I love you
Das Wunder Aller Wunder Ist Die Liebe Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Das Wunder aller Wunder ist die Liebe Ich sehe in allen Farben Blumen blühen Ich sehe die Sonne neu an jedem Morgen Ich sehe bei Nacht den Sternenhimmel glühen
Das Wunder aller Wunder ist die Liebe Sie kam zu mir und nie soll sie vergehen Der Himmel ist so nah, denn Du bist für mich da Das Wunder aller Wunder ist geschehen Nie soll es vergehen Nie soll es vergehen
Das Wunder aller Wunder ist die Liebe Ich schaue Dich an und glaube es noch kaum Von heute an beginnt für mich das Leben Und jeder Tag vorher war nur ein Traum
Das Wunder aller Wunder ist die Liebe Sie kam zu mir und nie soll sie vergehen Der Himmel ist so nah, denn Du bist für mich da Das Wunder aller Wunder ist geschehen Nie soll es vergehen Nie soll es vergehen
Dice El Inmigrante
Composer(s): D.A.R.
Performer(s): León Gieco
Guarda la risa entre los dientes marcha del sur para el este lleva la sombra que sostiene todo el peso de la gente que mas quiere
Lleva incertidumbre y la risa postergada lleva un libro, eso es bastante dice el inmigrante Lleva la cruz del marginado lleva otro idioma lleva su familia, eso es bastante dice el inmigrante
Lleva en sus ojos toda la mezcla de la rabia, de la duda y la tristeza tiene que pagar con el olvido lágrima de puerto y de destierro
De Winter Was Lang Composer(s): G. den Braber - J. Gluck - B. Raleigh Performer(s): Willy Alberti & Willeke Alberti
De winter was lang zonder jouw liefde De winter was koud zonder jouw lach Al sinds de herfst ben jij weg van mij zo ver hier vandaan Zeg wanneer kom je weer, dan is het zomer voortaan
De winter was lang zonder jouw liefde De winter was koud zonder jouw lach Kom in de lente en geef mij je warmte zolang als ik leef De winter was lang, eenzaam en koud
Kom in de lente en geef mij je warmte zolang als ik leef De winter was lang, eenzaam en koud De winter was lang, eenzaam en koud
Apriti Cuore Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
In questa notte calda di ottobre, apriti cuore non stare li in silenzio senza dir niente non ti sento, non ti sento, da troppo tempo non ti sento e ti ho tenuto lontano dalla gente quanti giorni passati senza un gesto d'amore con i falsi sorrisi e le vuote parole Ho perfino pensato in questa notte di Ottobre di buttarti via......di buttarti via ah lo so il cuore non e' un calcolo freddo e matematico lui non sa dov'e' che va sbaglia si ferma, e riprende e il suo battito non e' logico e' come un bimbo libero appena dici che non si fa lui si volta e si offende non lasciarlo mai solo come ho fatto io lascia stare il potere, il denaro non e' il tuo Dio o anche tu rimarrai senza neanche un amico Cambierò, Cambierò apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire Cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente...di niente anche davanti a questo cielo nero di stelle, e ce ne sono stanotte di stelle, forse miliardi, cuore non parli? o sono io che non sento e per paura di ogni sentimento cinico e indifferente faccio finta di niente ma non ho più parole in questa notte di ottobre sento solo lontano un misterioso rumore e' la notte che piano si muove, e tra poco esce il sole
Cambierò, Cambierò apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente Cambierò, Cambierò apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente Cambierò, Cambierò apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente
Días Y Flores Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Si me levanto temprano fresco y curado claro y feliz y te digo: «voy al bosque para aliviarme de ti» sabe que dentro tengo un tesoro que me llega a la raíz Si luego vuelvo cargado con muchas flores (mucho color) y te las pongo en la risa en la ternura, en la voz es que he mojado en flor mi camisa para teñir su sudor Pero si un día me demoro, no te impacientes yo volveré más tarde Será que a la más profunda alegría me habrá seguido la rabia ese día la rabia simple del hombre silvestre la rabia bomba la rabia de muerte la rabia imperio asesino de niños la rabia se me ha podrido el cariño la rabia madre por dios tengo frío la rabia es mío eso es mío, sólo mío la rabia bebo pero no me mojo la rabia miedo a perder el manojo la rabia hijo zapato de tierra la rabia dame o te hago la guerra la rabia todo tiene su momento la rabia el grito se lo lleva el viento la rabia el oro sobre la conciencia la rabia coño paciencia paciencia
La rabia es mi vocación
Si hay días que vuelvo cansado sucio de tiempo sin para amor es que regreso del mundo no del bosque, no del sol En esos días compañera ponte alma nueva para mi más bella flor
Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst ((Adapted from: You Better Move On (Arthur Alexander) - 1961)) Composer(s): Arthur Alexander Performer(s): Drafi Deutscher
Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst Immer wieder sagst Du zu mir bitte geb' sie frei Du glaubst dass ich nicht für sie der Richt'ge sei doch wer bis Du und was geht Dich das an ich liebe sie, so sehr ich lieben kann es ist besser Du gehst
Du bist reich und bei Dir da hätt' sie ne Menge Geld doch unser Glück das ist ihr viel mehr auf dieser Welt denn ich lass' sie nie mals im Stich und darum gibt's nur eins für Dich Es ist besser Du gehst
Tut mir leid Boy, dass Du sie liebst doch sie gehört nur mir mir alleine und nie, nie, nie, würd sie zu einem andere'n gehn nein nie, nie, nie, wird das geschehn
Oh ich rate Dir mein Boy, lass die Finger weg von Ihr schick ihr keine Rosen und spiel nicht den Kavalier und glaube mir, Du bist ihr ganz egal ich sage Dir zum letzten Mal Es ist besser Du gehst Es ist besser Du gehst Es ist besser Du gehst
Hay días que siento que las horas se me escapan y tu boca no me basta para estar
Vuelan allá afuera las gaviotas, las ideas y murmura en mi cabeza sólo el mar
Y me pides el sol y me pides amor
Y siento nostalgia por la vida por la escarcha por las manos que no supe acariciar
Toda la tristeza del planeta me atraviesa y el futuro es una sombra que se va
Y me pides el sol y me pides y yo te doy la tarde gris café sin hablar el televisor un ojo de huracán siglos horas sombras en el mar hay días así que pasan de mí aquí.
Hay días que busco y doy vuelta los cajones intentando hallar razones para estar
Cierro las ventanas y doy vuelta los espejos y en los ojos solamente queda el mar
Y me pides el sol y me pides amor
Y me voy adentro al jardín de los silencios donde un fuego primitivo alumbrará
Y me acuerdo del sol y me acuerdo que hoy te di la tarde gris café sin hablar el televisor un ojo de huracán siglos horas sombras en el mar hay días así que pasan de mi aquí
April Showers Bring May Flowers Composer(s): Leo Wood - Nat Shilkret - Jack Shilkret
When the whole world seems so drear And above dark clouds appear And your heat seems filled with fear Don't feel sad and blue Think how nice it soon will be When the sun shines cheerfully Try it and I know you'll see What I say is true!
Happiness was meant for you Seek it and you'll find it too Then your life will start a new Wonderful 'twill be Sorrow was not meant to stay Just to come and go away Tho' it finds us all some day Still you'll surely see
April showers bring May flowers And sweet bowers, where roses twine Now I know too, I can show you That it's so too all the time If the sunshine came at one time All the fun time would soon be through April showers bring May flowers So just wait 'till love comes to you
Diary
Composer(s): David Gates
First release by: Bread - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
I found her diary underneath a tree and started reading about me The words she's written took me by surpise you'd never read them in her eyes They said that she had found the love she waited for Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
When she confronted with the writing there simply pretended not to care I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air and though she tried to hide the love that she denied wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife all the sweet things that I can find
I found her diary underneath a tree and started reading about me The words began stick and tears to flow. Her meaning now was clear to see The love she'd waited for was someone else not me Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife all the sweet things that she can find all the sweet things they can find
