Did You Hear John Hurt?
Composer(s): Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Tom Paxton
and multiple other artists
It was a frosty night, it was beginning to snow And on the city streets,the wind began to blow We all came to the cellar we all emptied the bar To hear a little fellow play a shiny guitar
Did you hear John Hurt play the Creole Bell? Spanish Fandango? That he loved so well? And did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand? Did you hear him play his Candy Man?
On a straight back chair, with his felt hat on He tickled our fancy with his "Avalon" And everyone passing down on Toulouse Street Would cock their heads and listen to the tapping feet
Did you hear John Hurt play the Creole Bell? Spanish Fandango? That he loved so well? And did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand? Did you hear him play his Candy Man?
Aquí Me Quedo Composer(s): Patricio Castillo - Victor Jara - Pablo Neruda Performer(s): Victor Jara
Yo no quiero la Patria dividida ni por siete cuchillos desangrada quiero la luz de Chile enarbolada sobre la nueva casa construida yo no quiero la Patria dividida ni por siete cuchillos desangrada
Yo no quiero la Patria dividida cabemos todos en la tierra mia y que los que se creen prisioneros se vayan lejos con su melodia Siempre los ricos fueron extranjeros que se vayan a Miami con sus tias yo no quiero la Patria dividida se vayan lejos con su melodia
Yo no quiero la Patria dividida cabemos todos en la tierra mia yo me quedo a cantar con los obreros en esta nueva historia y geografia en esta nueva historia y geografia
Did You Ever Want To Cry Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
Did you ever want to cry But you didnt know just why? Did you ever sit up all night long Just listening to that same old song The one they played when she said nothin could go wrong? Right, I know you did; oh, you kid Did you really think that shed be true? Wasnt that rather naive of you? And now shes dropped you like a worn-out shoe
Shes got you drinking gin And you know thats a sin You go honky-tonky every night You get drunk and then you start a fight I know that you think that its alright Wrong, its not the way to live; you only get what you give! You can live your life just as you please But, when you lie with foes, you better get free And now shes brought you down to your knees Arms that used to hold you tight You miss them in the middle of night You burned a candle at both ends Now its too late... too late to make amends Youve even lost your old time friends...
Enemies glad to see you down People, they dont want you hangin round Did you ever want to cry But you didnt know just why? Right, I know you did Wrong, its not the way to live Did you ever want to cry...
Ein Schlafsack Und Eine Gitarre Performer(s): Renate Leismann & Werner Leismann
Hinter uns liegt das steinerne Meer der großen Stadt liegt der Asphalt und endloser Straßenstaub wir wollen hinaus weil jeder von uns nur Frohsinn hat und Freude am blauen Himmel am gold'nen Laub. Wir schlafen nur unter Sternen und der Mond hält treue Wacht und Reh und Fuchs und Hase wünschen alle uns Gut' Nacht
Ein Schlafsack und eine Gitarre olala das herz am rechten Fleck und eine Mundharmonika so zieh'n wir hinaus in die weite weite Welt weil uns das am Leben so gefällt
Wir singen wenn der tag beginnt weil wir mit jedem Tag auf's Neue glücklich sind Brennt nachts das Lagerfeuer dann fangen wir erst recht zu singen an
Wir kennen Täler die vor uns nur der Westwind sah kennen das Lied der Pampas und der Prärie Die Fälle des Niagara war'n zum Greifen nah Wir sah'n auch in Arizona die Wüste blüh'n und führt uns der lange Weg dann schließlich doch zurück nach Haus wissen wir daß der Frühling kommt und wieder geht's hinaus
Ein Schlafsack und eine Gitarre olala das herz am rechten Fleck und eine Mundharmonika so zieh'n wir hinaus in die weite weite Welt weil uns das am Leben so gefällt

Did you ever see a dream walking? Well, I did Did you ever hear a dream talking? Well, I did

Aquello Composer(s): Jaime Roos Performer(s): Hugo Fattoruso
En la noche fría Se ha perdido aquello Se extravió su alma En el vendaval Tanta hermosura Que alegró las tardes Que encendió las luces De nuestra ciudad
En la noche oscura Se ha perdido aquello En los diarios viejos Se apagó su voz La ropa tendida Sobre los alambres Saluda al ausente Prolonga el adiós
Dicen que se fue Dicen que está acá Dicen que se ha muerto Dicen que volverá
En las avenidas Limpian las vidrieras Se abren los balcones Para que entre el sol La gente retoma Su tenso camino Retumba el trabajo Sobre el hormigón
En la melodía Que tocan a veces Pidiendo tijeras A la población El barrio respira Los tiempos de antes Las nubes de otoño Aquella ilusión
Dicen que se fue Dicen que está acá Dicen que se ha muerto Dicen que volverá
Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Did you ever have to make up your mind Pick up on one and leave the other behind It's not often easy and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind
Did you ever have to finally decide Say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide
Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny With hair down to here, and plenty of money And just when you think she's that one in the world You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl
And then you know you'd better make up your mind...
Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you a line And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind"

I come home in the morning light My mother says when you gonna live your life right Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones And girls they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have fun

That's all they really want Some fun When the working day is done Girls - they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl And hide her away from the rest of the world I want to be the one to walk in the sun Oh girls they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want Some fun When the working day is done Girls - they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have fun They want to have fun They want to have fun ...
Did You Ever Have A Dream Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie
Did you ever have a dream or two Where the hero is a guy named you And the things he does are just too much Does he fly like Mr. Superman, speak Chinese, French and Dutch? And did you ever have a dream or two?
Have you ever woken up one day With the feeling that you'd been away? If the girl that you dreamed of last night Had the same dream, in the very same scene With the very same boy, hold tight
It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend You can travel anywhere with anyone you care It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend You can walk around in New York while you sleep in Penge
I will travel round the world one night On the magic wings of astral flight If you've got the secret, tell me do Have you ever had a dream or two? Have you ever had a dream or two?
Aquela Mulher Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Se você quer mesmo saber Por que ela ficou comigo Eu digo que não sei Se ela ainda tem seu endereço Ou se lembra de você Confesso que não perguntei
As nossas noites são Feito oração na catedral Não cuidamos do mundo Um segundo sequer Que noites de alucinação Passo dentro daquela mulher Com outros homens, ela só me diz Que sempre se exibiu E até fingiu sentir prazer Mas nunca soube, antes de mim Que o amor vai longe assim Não foi você quem quis saber?

Performer(s): Perry Como

Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight That wonderful feeling that you want to be kissed You're strolling through the park, the stars so bright above You'd love to love somebody, but there's nobody there to love
Did you ever get that longing on a June night That wonderful longing you can never resist Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight That feeling that says you want to be kissed
(Tell me honestly ... did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight) (Wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed) (You're strolling in the park, stars so bright above) (You'd love to love somebody, but there's no one to love)

Dein letzter Brief kam über viele Meilen zu mir Ich hatte mich so sehr gesehnt danach Ich las ihn nur und sah' nach ein paar Zeilen wie eine Welt für mich zusammenbrach
Dein letzter Brief sagt mir nur es wär' herrlich gewesen doch daß es besser wär', auseinander zu geh'n Den letzten Brief hundertmal hab' ich ihn schon gelesen doch fürcht' ich sehr ich werd' ihn nie versteh'n
Dein letzter Brief: "Gib' mich frei!" hast du darin geschrieben daß du von mir dich trennst und auch dir fiel es schwer
Eins kannst du nicht Mir verbieten dich weiter zu lieben Bis du erkennst, so liebt dich keiner mehr Bis du erkennst, so liebt dich keiner mehr

Ahhh, do you remember the first time you started to date
and the places you had to go just to be alone with your number one?
Well, I hope this song brings back a whole lot of beautiful memories for you
(Flash)
Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go
And when the lights went way down low
Did you forget about the picture show
Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
Hey, little girl was it so long ago
We'd take a walk just to be alone
And hey little girl if it should rain or snow
Remember where we would go
Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go
And when the lights went way down low
Did you forget about the picture show
Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
Hey, little girl was it so long ago
We'd take a walk just to be alone
And hey little girl if it should rain or snow
Remember where we would go
(Wolfman)
Sometimes I get to thinkin' there's not enough love and romance left in our lives today
And that's why I'd like to reminisce and to relive that first feeling of love
and do it all over again
(Flash)
Hey little girl why not come over here
and set beside me and make believe
and say, little girl, why not stay over here
we'll have a party for two
Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go
And when the lights went way down low
Did you forget about the picture show
Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show
Hey, little girl was it so long ago
We'd take a walk just to be alone
And hey little girl if it should rain or snow
Remember where we would go

When you find yourself alone And when going out is coming home Well, you can count on "the kid" 'Cause there's nobody waiting around Oh oh if you're not an easy mark It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart And I know, I know, I know, I know When it's coming (I thought so anyway) Some things stay the same And some are due for change I thought I had them all nailed down But you turned it around
Oh you did it You did it, you did it, you did it You did it in a minute I know you did it You did it, you did it, you did it You did it in a minute
Well I still can't say I know When a love is real or touch and go And if two can be one Who is the one two becomes oh oh Am I quick enough to see When I'm ready and it's right for me I say, I say, I say, I say that I want it (I think so anyway) Everybody always laughs at love But what they want is to be proven wrong Then you came along
Oh you did it You did it, you did it, you did it You did it in a minute I know you did it You did it, you did it, you did it You did it in a minute
Aquel Atardecer Composer(s): José Luis Armenteros - Pablo Herrero Performer(s): Nino Bravo
Las palabras de amor se pierden como el viento sobre el mar tus promesas bajo el sol quedaron sin valor cuando dijiste adiós no bastaban para ti mis besos preferiste otra aventura y en aquel atardecer te fuiste para no volver
Nuestra casa se quedó vacía solo guarda tu recuerdos desde aquel atardecer que solo me quedé sin ti uooooooh.. sin ti
I don't want to be the one to say I'm gonna miss you but I will I don't want to say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby but I will I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really love you so Cuz it was such a thrill And just remember when you're gone there'll be that someone sad who loves you still
You will look at him and see me smiling back at you I know you will (You will) And you will find yourself repeating things we used to do I know you will (You will)
Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me And let me feel that thrill Cuz I'm the one who told you I would love you dear forever and I will
Oh, I will... Yes, I will...
Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me And let me feel that thrill Cuz I'm the one who told you I would love you dear forever and I will Cuz I'm the one who told you I would love you dear forever and I will (I will)
Did I Ever Love You? Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro
Did I ever ever love you Did I ever really care All the times that I cried for you Did I really want you there Wiser men than I have wondered About love and never knew And if I ever loved you I guess I still do
All the nights that I spent crying All those lonely, lonesome times Was it my imagination Was it only in my mind Wiser men than I have wondered About love and never knew And if I ever loved you I guess I still do
Is it here today and gone tomorrow This love that no one can explain Can it begin a thing of beauty Then undergo a dreadful change Wiser men than I have wondered About love and never knew And if I ever loved you I guess I still do
