Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Y yo que estaba de vuelta de todas las idas con el cima herida te quiero, ya ves Seré lo que tú prefieras tu luz o tu sombra o acaso una alfombra besando tus pies Ay de ti, ay de mí ni tú ni yo somos culpables infelices locos que caímos en este amor que es un error imperdonable ay de ti, ay de mí Y tú que siempre decías ser inteligente no como esa gente que muere de amor Así sabrás que la rosa es rosa por bella y no porque en ella respire una flor... Ay de ti, ay de mi.. la vida es la consentida, feroz dictadura de una criatura que juega a mandar Ni tú ni yo somos nadie, ni hacemos historia pues somos la escoria que aun puede quemar Ay de ti, ay de mí...
Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me) Composer(s): John C. Fogerty First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969
Who will take the coal from the mine? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me Who will work the field with his hands? Who will put his back to the plough? Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin' Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too
Who will make the shoes for your feet? Who will make the clothes that you wear? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin' Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too
Who will take the coal from the mines? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Ay Catamarca Composer(s): Victor Heredia Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Ay Catamarca, madre del canto por estas venas arde tu sol por estas venas arde tu sol Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban los ojos míos poderte ver poderte ver... Fuiste la cuna de mis abuelos tu claro cielo los vio renacer los vio renacer Y allí mi madre, gracioso mimbre moreno pelo, se hizo mujer moreno pelo, se hizo mujer Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban los ojos míos poderte ver poderte ver... Ay Catamarca, ay Catamarca catamarqueño debiera ser catamarqueño debiera ser catamarqueño debiera ser...
Don't Look In My Eyes
Composer(s): Brian Potter - Frank Wildhorn
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
All my memory is safely packed And my dreams are neatly folded away Ive got nothing to show To a love that might have told okay All the tables and chairs Theyre standing empty and bare And there isnt any sign You were here So jsut walk out of the door Try not to get too near
You might look in my eyes And see all the pain And sadness deep inside Dont look in my eyes Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide If youve just gone, itll be alright I know Ill get through the night And I even smile As we say our goodbyes Just dont look in my eyes
All our photographs are stored away And our letters are there burned in the fire Theres nothing left here That make me believer We had nights of tender love and desire If this seems to be gray Id like to hide away Theres nothing to remind me of you When you walk out of the door Just be sure whatever you do
Dont look in my eyes And see all the pains And sadness deep inside Dont look in my eyes Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide If youve just gone, itll be alright I know Ill make it through the night And I even smile As we say our goodbyes Just dont look in my eyes

Don't Look Down
Composer(s): Colin Allen - Mick Ronson
Performer(s): Mick Ronson
Don't know what I'm doing here, but I say it again Don't know what I'm doing here, but you might know my name Room full of faces laughing, I'm so alone Feel a little strange, 'cause I'm so far from home
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Yeah, don't look down
Had a woman's love, but she sent me away Can't live with a broken heart, but there's no place to stay I won't be crying, I don't have the time Better keep my head on straight, 'cause I'm walking the line
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't look down
Getting kinda scared but you see, I'm here just the same Gonna face the day, 'cause there's no one else I can blame I got my trouble, I'll get it over and done I'll never get too far if I keep trying to run
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't look down Don't look down
Away From You Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick - Richard Rodgers - Steve Walsh Performer(s): Sarah Brightman
Away from you There is no music There is no sunlight The world is gray Away from you The clocks are frozen And time's a traveller Who's lost his way
The people I meet Might as well be statues The words we exchange Might as well be Greek The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful But to me It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive Until the moment The door swings open And you walk through Now my world starts to glow Like a stained-glass window And what was old and cold Is warm and new And so you see Why I can never be Away from you
Away from you The world is lifeless As though creation Has gone awry The trees are bare There are no flowers The fields are thirsty The streams are dry
We live, you and I For a breath of sunlight So brief an escape From a world of gray Our moments of warmth Have been touch and go, love But tonight, we'll touch And stay
The people I meet Might as well be statues The words we exchange Might as well be Greek The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful But to me It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive Until the moment The door swings open And you walk through Now my soul is afloat On a wave of music That I could feel such joy I never knew And so you see Why I can never be Away from you
Don't Look Back Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
Don't look back A new day is breaking It's been too long since I felt this way I don't mind where I get taken The road is calling Today is the day I can see It took so long to realise I'm much too strong Not to compromise Now I see what I am is holding me down I'll turn it around I finally see the dawn arriving I see beyond the road I'm driving Far away and left behind It's a new horizon and I'm awaking now Oh I see myself in a brand new way The sun is shining the clouds are breaking 'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play I can tell There's no more time left to criticise I've seen what I could not recognise Everything in my life was leading me on but I can be strong I finally see the dawn arriving I see beyond the road I'm driving Far away and left behind
Don't Look Away Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who
Don't go and hide Yesterday you were my girlfiend If you do My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind
There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away
I once heard you say If I ever was down you would help me Now my head's being chewed up You pretend that you don't see
There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away
I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away
Polly In A Porny Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Haha I kissed Polly goodnight Haha as we stood at her front door Now she's quite a proper lady So I didn't ask for anything more But haha I was feeling oh so groovie That I went down to the movie And I sat down and guess just what I saw
I saw Polly in a porny Down at the dirty flicks I saw Polly in a porny I didn't know she knew them tricks What I seen nearly struck me blind I never knew she was the artically inclined I saw Polly in a porny with a pony And I've nearly blowed my mind Was she gallopin' (no no no) Oh was she trottin' (no no no) Oh was she riding across the country with some tall dark handsome person Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat Haha well not exactly that But at least I recall she had her spurs on I love ol' Polly in a porny I keep on going back Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low With my coat bouncin' in my lap Ooh I spend each dime I can afford I swear she's gonna win an academy award I saw Polly in a porny with a pony And the pony seemed a little bored Ooh oh ride Polly ride slide Polly slide
Don't Look At Me That Way
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Irene Bordoni
and multiple other artists
Oh, Im so mad about a lad It's too deep to express And when he tries to use his eyes They have instant success So full of passion, these pupils are That girls forget what their scruples are So when he turns them on me I murmur tenderly.....
I think you're great, I think you're grand And I don't mind if you hold my hand But don't look at me that way
Your kisses, too, are heavenly And oh, so full of variety But don't look at me that way
When you tell me sweetly you're mine completely I always give a long cheer But those sudden flashes behind your lashes Are nobody's business, dear
Since you began to play your role I've lost my heart and I've lost my soul But as for losing my self-control Don't look at me that way
I just adore your loving arms In fact, they're two of your greatest charms But don't look at me that way
I'm very mild, I'm very meek My will is strong, but my won't is weak So don't look at me that way
When that strange expression of indiscretion Begins to show in your stare There's a hocus-pocus about your focus That gives me a terrible scare
I feel a thrill when you arrive And while you're near I simply thrive But if you want to get home alive Don't look at me that way
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Composer(s): Ernest Gold - Mack David
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world In France the girls wear scanties While on lamb chops they put panties I'm telling you it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
A Japanese named Luey Says the Chinese hate chop suey Without a doubt It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
The only thing you are sure of Is that nothing is sure Have a ball, live it up, only fools give it up Toujours the amour, but toujours
So be a happy gaffer Be a screamer, be a laugher Let boys be gay and say, "What the hey" It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
My dear old Uncle Herman Says that French Toast should be German Jawohl, that's right It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
I know it may sound jerky But in Turkey who eats turkey Yes, yes, confess It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
Out traffic is so congested Mass confusion on wheels But Detroit is adroit, what they'll do in Detroit Is make bigger automobiles
So be a happy fellow Be a clown, boy, Punchinello Get off the shelf and enjoy yourself It's a mad, mad, mad, mad It's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad world!
Don't Like Goodbyes
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Truman Capote
Performer(s): Pearl Bailey
and multiple other artists
Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs I'm not too good at leavin' time I got no taste for grievin' time No, no, not me
You've been my near one's, always my dear one's I never thought that I would find Another love, a diff'rent kind But it came to be
Well, if you think I'm telling you lies Go try your luck and look into his eyes But remember, you must remember he's mine And my world overhead has a clear new shine
Have I found the answer Yes, he's the only answer Guess I won't have to guide him, jus' walk beside him Can't you see it clearly that I love him dearly
Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you It's trav'lin' time and I must move on Found the man to lean upon, and if I could arrange it Oh, would I care to change it Not me!
Mary's Vineyard Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson - Bob Wilkins Performer(s): Claude King
The grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine Old man Oscar Dill lived back in the Tennessee hills He's got him two or three stills and he makes heavy water Oh I worked for him one time runnin' sour mash across the line And he warned me to pay no mind to his three daughters Yeah one was eighteen and one was twenty two one was just my age One by one I opened the door to the gilded cage (yes I did now) He don't know and I ain't gonna tell him what I've done one time Cause he thinks he raised three little angels ah I think that's fine I made love to his sweet Martha and pretty little Caroline But the grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Now old man Oscar Dill said he wouldn't hesitate to kill Anybody messin' round his stills or his three daughters But even so late at night when the moon wasn't shining too bright I'd sneaked around get brave all right sippin' his heavy water Yeah one was eighteen... I made love to his sweet Martha...
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find, oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
Away From You Composer(s): Gerry Marsden - John Chadwick First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963
When I'm away from you No wonder I feel blue Without your love (without your love) Without your charms Want you in my arms
I dream about you every night Hopin', waitin' for you to write Until at last (until at last) I find, can't get you off my mind (off my mind, can't get you off my mind)
If you only knew How my poor heart yearns for you Then darling you'll be Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side Please remember how I cried For your love (for your love) For your charms Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)
If you only knew How my poor heart yearns for you Then darling you'll be Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side Please remember how I cried For your love (for your love) For your charms Want you in my arms
Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin' (Gerry & The Pacemakers)
Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin'
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers
Don't let the sun catch you crying The night's the time for all your tears Your heart may be broken tonight But tomorrow in the morning light Don't let the sun catch you crying
The nighttime shadows disappear And with that go all your tears, baby For the morning will bring joy For every girl and boy Don't don't don't don't let the sun catch you crying Oooo baby
You know that crying's not a bad thing But stop your crying when the birds sing Oh no no no
Oh yeah Oooo oooo
Just don't forget that love's just a game And it can always come again So don't let the sun catch you crying Don't let the sun catch you crying, baby
Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right (repeat)
