La Canzone Di Marinella ((French Version: La Romance De Marinelle (by Roberto Ferri) - 2003)) Composer(s): Fabrizio De André First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Questa di Marinella è la storia vera che scivolò nel fiume a primavera ma il vento che la vide così bella dal fiume la portò sopra una stella Sola senza il ricordo di un dolore vivevi senza il sogno di un amore ma un re senza corona e senza scorta bussò tre volte un giorno alla tua porta Bianco come la luna il suo cappello come l'amore rosso il suo mantello tu lo seguisti senza una ragione come un ragazzo segue un aquilone E c'era il sole e avevi gli occhi belli lui ti baciò le labbra ed i capelli c'era la luna e avevi gli occhi stanchi lui pose le sue mani suoi tuoi fianchi Furono baci e furono sorrisi poi furono soltanto i fiordalisi che videro con gli occhi delle stelle fremere al vento e ai baci la tua pelle Dicono poi che mentre ritornavi nel fiume chissà come scivolavi e lui che non ti volle creder morta bussò cent'anni ancora alla tua porta Questa è la tua canzone Marinella che sei volata in cielo su una stella e come tutte le più belle cose vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose E come tutte le più belle cose vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose
Doo Dah Blues Composer(s): Fred Rose - Eddie White
What will become of me what will become of me something it's plain to see is wrong with me yes wrong with me I'm always sighing I'm always crying Sad am I here's the reason why Just only yesterday my sweetie went away I thought t'was all in play but when I heard her say "Doo Dah, good-bye to you Doo Dah, that means that I'm thru" Oh! Lordy
You've heard my tale of woe and now I know you know just why I'm worried so Yes worried so and flurried so I loved her only that's why I'm lonely and I miss most of all her kiss maybe if she could see Just what she did to me sorry perhaps she'd be and set my poor heart free but I suppose she's thru there's nothing else I can do
Oh! those Doo Dah Blues I want to lose those Doo Dah Blues for all night long till early dawn they seem to come and never leave me Lordy but they grieve me Do they, they do I'll say they do Oh! I know those Doo Dah Blues will sure refuse poor me to lose I've got 'em now and oh! somehow I know that if you'd had 'em you'd a long to lose the Doo Dah Blues
La Canzone Dell'amore Perduto Composer(s): Fabrizio De André First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Ricordi sbocciavano le viole con le nostre parole "non ci lasceremo mai mai e poi mai" Vorrei dirti, ora, le stesse cose ma come fan presto, amore ad appassire le rose così per noi L'amore che strappa i capelli é perduto ormai Non resta che qualche svogliata carezza e un po' di tenerezza E quando ti troverai in mano quei fiori appassiti al sole di un aprile ormai lontano li rimpiangerai Ma sarà la prima che incontri per strada che tu coprirai d'oro per un bacio mai dato per un amore nuovo E sarà la prima che incontri per strada che tu coprirai d'oro per un bacio mai dato per un amore nuovo
Don't You Worry, Dearie Composer(s): Al. W. Morse - Percy Wenrich
A winsome little maid in an everglade With her soldier boy in blue Maiden softly sighs lovelight in her eyes For she loves him fond and true Boy has come to tell girl he loves so well Duty calls him far away Maiden is in tears for his life she fears Then she hears him softly say
The war is over now boy has kept his vow Nothing can their love destroy They are not alone in their little home There's a bouncing baby boy Happy is their lot, trouble they forgot As they stand behind his bed Oft when stars shine bright they recall the night When to her he softly said
Don't you worry Dearie Dearie don't you sigh See the moon is smiling In the deep blue sky Soon I'll be returning Then I'll claim my own Wedding bells will gaily ring And the birds will sweetly sing Little girlie when I come back home
La Canzone Del Sole Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Le bionde trecce gli occhi azzurri e poi le tue calzette rosse e l'innocenza sulle gote tue due arance ancor più rosse e la cantina buia dove noi respiravamo piano e le tue corse, l'eco dei tuoi no,oh no mi stai facendo paura Dove sei stata cosa hai fatto mai? Una donna, donna dimmi cosa vuol dir sono una donna ormai Ma quante braccia ti hanno stretto, tu lo sai per diventar quel che sei che importa tanto tu non me lo dirai purtroppo Ma ti ricordi l'acqua verde e noi le rocce, bianco e il fondo di che colore sono gli occhi tuoi se me lo chiedi non rispondo O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne... tu eri chiaro e trasparente come me O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne... tu eri chiaro e trasparente come me Le biciclette abbandonate sopra il prato e poi noi due distesi all'ombra un fiore in bocca può servire, sai più allegro tutto sembra e d'improvviso quel silenzio fra noi e quel tuo sguardo strano ti cade il fiore dalla bocca e poi oh no, ferma, ti prego la mano Dove sei stata cos'hai fatto mai? Una donna, donna donna, dimmi cosa vuol dir sono una donna ormai Io non conosco quel sorriso sicuro che hai non so chi sei, non so più chi sei mi fai paura oramai purtroppo Ma ti ricordi le onde grandi e noi gli spruzzi e le tue risa cos'è rimasto in fondo agli occhi tuoi la fiamma è spenta o è accesa? O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne... Il sole quando sorge,sorge piano e poi la luce si diffonde tutto intorno a noi le ombre dei fantasmi della notte sono alberi e cespugli ancora in fiore sono gli occhi di una donna ancora pieni d'amore

Everybody's got a thing But some don't know how to handle it Always reachin' out in vain Accepting the things not worth having but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama 'Cause I'll be standing in the wings When you check it out

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too
Don't, don't you want me You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back Or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me baby Don't you want me Don't you want me baby Don't you want me
I was working as as waitress in a cocktail bar That much is true But I always knew I'd find a much better place Either with or without you The five years we have had have been such good times I still love you But now I think it's time I live my life on my own I guess it's something I must do

Arrastrar la dura cadena Trabajar sin tregua y sin fin Es lo mismo que una condena Que ninguno puede eludir El trabajo nace con la persona Va grabado sobre su piel Y ya siempre le acompaña Como el amigo más fiel Trabajar con nieve y con frío Con la fe del que ha de triunfar Porque el agua que lleva el río No regresa nunca del mar El trabajo nace con la persona Va grabado sobre su piel Y ya siempre le acompaña Como el amigo más fiel Vale más tener confianza Y luchar por algo mejor Trabajar con fe y esperanza Por lograr un mundo de amor

Let's talk it over babe before we start I heard you had a way of over playing your part But don't lie to me Don't you lie to me You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Don't You Know What The Night Can Do? Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Hear the night music playing? Don't you know what it's saying? We should feel it together For forever
Feel the beat and just hold on To the sweet midnight flowing Feel the music inside you I'll be there too
Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true Feels so good we're crying Now's the time when it's down to me and you Spread these wings - we'll be flying
Don't you know what the night can do? Don't you know when it's touching you? Don't you know what the night can do?
Time to show all your feeling All the night is revealing Let the rhythm enfoled you Let me hold you
Now we turn into music Now we never will lose it When the rhythm and night ride No heart can hide
There are times that never ever come again Mem'ries there for making When the night calls, we better let it in All this love for the taking
Don't you know what the night can do? Don't you know when it's touching you? Won't you help me to let it through? Don't you know what the night can do?
La Canción Del Elegido Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Tania Libertad
Siempre que se hace una historia se habla de un viejo, de un niño o de se sí pero mi historia es difícil no voy a hablarles de un hombre común Haré la historia de un ser de otro mundo de un animal de galaxia Es una historia que tiene que ver con el curso de la Vía Láctea Es una historia enterrada Es sobre un ser de la nada
Nació de una tormenta en el sol de una noche el penúltimo mes Fue de planeta en planeta buscando agua potable quizás buscando la vida o buscando la muerte eso nunca se sabe
Quizás buscando siluetas o algo semejante que fuera adorable o por lo menos querible besable, amable
El descubrió que las minas del rey Salomón se hallaban en el cielo y no en el África ardiente como pensaba la gente Pero las piedras son frías y le interesaban calor y alegrías Las joyas no tenían alma sólo eran espejos, colores brillantes y al fin bajo hacia la guerra ¡perdón! quise decir a la tierra
Supo la historia de un golpe sintió en su cabeza cristales molidos y comprendió que la guerra era la paz del futuro lo más terrible se aprende enseguida y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida La última vez lo vi irse entre humo y metralla contento y desnudo iba matando canallas con su cañón de futuro

¿Quién recogió mi camisa del agua? Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa La agité muriendo a la orilla De mi vida abierta en hoguera ¿Quién vino hasta el río para recogerla? Mi sangre antigua cuando me moría Volvía tan dulce mientras se marchaba Que olvidé el recuerdo y la muerte Olvidé de donde venía Tendí mi camisa a morir conmigo Al recogerla con tu bayoneta Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río Lavó la camisa, lavo la memoria Era una garganta de luz en el agua Al recogerla con tu bayoneta Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río Lavó la camisa, lavó la memoria Y yo sé soldado que usas mi camisa Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa Yo sigo viviendo dentro tu camisa Vestido de limón debajo de un río

En tu calle estoy sin saber por qué Sin pensar camino y llego junto a tu balcón Es el corazón quien me trae aquí Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Por primera vez me parece ver Que los arboles florecen en invierno igual Que al llegar aquí ha salido el sol Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Sentir que tú estás muy cerca Y saber que vives aquí Pensar que si abro la puerta En un momento tu sonrisa encontraré
Al amanecer y al anochecer Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Al amanecer y al anochecer Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué Es aquí donde vive mi amor
