I used to think that I was just a no-count I used to think that I would get nowhere But then I learned that when I'm feelin' low down I'm back up on my feet if I remember all my dreams
I used to get to feeling so downhearted I used to even hate the color green But every time I think I can't get started I think of all my dreams and then I'm right back on the beam
You've got to dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do Cause with your dreams and some perspiration Anything within your dreaming is within your reach
I used to think that I was nothing special That I was just another pretty face But now I know that I will be successful If I always do just what I really want to do
Dream of your secret wishes Dream of your highest hopes 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true
When you've fin'lly decided Things aren't as bad as they seem You just can't deny it Where there's a will there's a dream
Dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true You've got to dream, dream, dream
La Escalera Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Iba silbando mi trino por una calle cualquiera cuando a un lado del camino me encontré con la escalera Era una escala sencilla de rústico enmaderado desde la calle amarilla hasta el rojo de un tejado
¿Qué se verá desde el techo? dijo la voz de un extraño y sin meditar el trecho le puse afán al peldaño La brisa me acompañaba en el ascenso del alma y mi camisa volaba junto al sinsonte y la palma
Mientras más ganaba altura la calle me parecía más pequeña, menos dura como de juguetería Y sucedió de repente que después de alimentarme con la visión diferente sólo quedaba bajarme
Dejé la altura en su calma dejé el cielo en su horizonte siguió batiendo la palma siguió volando el sinsonte Me encontré con la escalera cuando a un lado del camino por una calle cualquiera iba silbando mi trino

La Era Está Pariendo Un Corazón Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Omara Portuondo
Le he preguntado a mi sombra a ver como ando para reírme mientras el llanto, con voz de templo rompe en la sala regando el tiempo
Mi sombra dice que reírse es ver los llantos como mi llanto y me he callado, desesperado y escucho entonces la tierra llora
La era está pariendo un corazón no puede más, se muere de dolor y hay que acudir corriendo pues se cae el porvenir en cualquier selva del mundo en cualquier calle
Debo dejar la casa y el sillón la madre vive hasta que muere el sol y hay que quemar el cielo si es preciso por vivir por cualquier hombre del mundo por cualquier casa
Dream Away Composer(s): John Williams - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
For the last time we have tasted love's sweet tears by the fire's glow If our hearts are strong there'll be no long good-byes when it's time to go But the strongest torch is sometimes broken As the deepest vows aren't always spoken And the greatest wounds, we hide inside ourselves Where they never show
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
When the Winter weds the Northern Wind The child they bear is snow And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids But the trees will grow Sun and Earth in time will come together God will give us back our summer weather But the mem'ries of that first sweet Taste of love pass away so slow
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
When there's no room left to live inside ourselves Do we dream away
Can ye no hush your weepin' all the wee lambs are sleepin' Birdies are nestlin' nestlin' together Dream Angus is hirplin' her the heather
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell Angus is here wi' dreams to sell Hush ye my baby and sleep without fear Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear
List' to the curlew cryin' Faintly the echos dyin' Even the birdies and the beasties are sleepin' But my bonny bairn is weepin' weepin'
La Enramada
Composer(s): Graciela Olmos
Performer(s): Vikki Carr
and multiple other artists
Las flores y la lluvia me acompañan
en mis horas de nostalgia y de tristeza
me arrebata el pensamiento la distancia
para hacer de mi vida una pavesa
Ya la enramada se secó
el cielo el agua le negó
así tu altivo corazón
no me escuchó
Como ave errante viviré
buscando alivio a mi dolor
con la añoranza de tu amor
yo moriré
Ya la enramada se secó
el cielo el agua le negó
Como ave errante viviré
buscando alivio a mi dolor
con la añoranza de tu amor
yo moriré
Dream Along With Me Composer(s): Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Perry Como; Mitchell Ayres
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!
On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!
(We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight...)
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!
La Enorme Distancia Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Estoy tan lejos de ti y a pesar de la enorme distancia te siento juntito a mi, corazon, corazon alma con alma y siento en mi ser tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos
Estoy pensando en tu amor y a lo loco platico contigo te cuento de mi dolor y aunque me hagas feliz, no te lo digo y vuelvo a sentir tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos
El cielo empiezo a clarear y mis ojos se llenan de sueno contigo voy a sonar porque quieran o no yo soy tu dueno y siempre tendre tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos

Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me youll miss me While Im alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss Im longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss Im longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this

La Edad De La Mujer Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara
La mujer que a los veinte esta soltera es porque se ha caido de la azotea La mujer que a los treinta no tiene novio es porque le ha puesto llave al escritorio
Esta tona me la enseño una tia mia que me decia: la esperanza es lo ultimo que se pierde y murio soltera fijense
La mujer que a los cuarenta no se ha casado es porque tiene el cuarto desalojado La mujer que a los cincuenta quiere estar sola es que se le ha enfriado la cacerola

Get in touch with that sundown fellow As he tiptoes across the sand He's got a million kinds of stardust Pick your fav'rite brand, and
Dream when you're feeling blue Dream, that's the thing to do Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air You'll find your share of memories there So, dream when the day is through Dream and they might come true Things never are as bad as they seem So dream, dream, dream Things never are as bad as they seem So dream, dream, dream
No Se Sabe Donde Suena Un Acordeon Ladra Un Perro Loco A Una Nube Gris Canta Un Marinero Que Anda Sin Timon Y Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi
Hay Un Olor Fuerte Que Llego Del Mar Con Su Andar Pesado, Torpe Y De Barril Sin Hombre Que Pueda De Nuevo Estrenar Pasa, Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi
La Dulce Mimi Manchon De Carmin Boca Desdentada La Dulce Mimi Amor De Serrin En Cama Sudada
La Noche Vendra Y Sola Estara Sola, Sin Hombre Y Sin Pan ¡ay¡ ¡ay Que Pena Me Da! La Dulce Mimi
Del Ayer Conserva Un Negro Manton Y Un Retrato Antiguo Que Alumbra Un Candil Igual Que Un Fantasma Por El Callejon Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi
Al Primer Borracho Que Encontro Al Pasar Se Ofrecio Lo Mismo Que Una Vieja Actriz Con Los Pies De Plomo Y La Soledad Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi
Dreadlock Holiday Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10cc - 1978
I was walkin' down the street concentrating on trucking right I heard a dark voice beside of me And I looked 'round in a state of fright
I saw four faces, one mad; a brother from the gutter They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other
I say, I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it
Don't you walk through my words You got to show some respect Don't you walk through my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
Well, he looked down on my silver chain He said: 'I'll give you one dollar' I said: 'You've got to be joking, man It was a present from me mother'
He said: 'I like it, I want it, I'll take it off your hands And you'll be sorry you crossed me You better understand That you're alone (a long way from home)
And I say, I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it
Don't you cramp me style Don't you queer me pitch Don't you walk through my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool sinking Pina Colada I heard a dark voice beside me say 'Would you like something harder?'
She said: 'I've got it, you want it, my harvest is the best And if you try it You'll like it and whollow in a Dreadlock holiday
And I say, don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her Don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her, oh yea
Don't you walk through her words You got to show some respect Don't you walk through her words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday) I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday) I don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her (Dreadlock holiday)
La Drôle De Fin ((English Version: Last Tango (by Raymond Vincent)) Composer(s): Raymond Vincent - Bruno Libert - Meakin - J.M. Rivat Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
On s'est connus C'était si bien Qui aurait vu Notre destin On n'a pas su Aller très loin Le beau début La drôle de fin
De plus en plus Tu prends le train Je ne sais plus Quand tu reviens Le beau début La drôle de fin
Où vont-ils donc? Les hommes quand ils s'en vont Ne saura-t-on jamais Quand ils nous abandonnent Ils sont bien quelque part Sur le quai d'une gare Dans un café anglais Un hôtel espagnol
Où vont-ils donc? Les hommes quand ils s'en vont Ne saura-t-on jamais Quand ils nous abandonnent Ils sont bien quelque part Sur le quai d'une gare Dans un café anglais Un hôtel espagnol
Ne pleure plus Laisse mes mains On est fichus On le sait bien Le beau début La drôle de fin
Où vont-ils donc? Les hommes quand ils s'en vont Ne saura-t-on jamais Quand ils nous abandonnent Ils sont bien quelque part Sur le quai d'une gare Dans un café anglais Un hôtel espagnol

Last Tango ((French Version: La Drôle De Fin (by Sylvie Vartan)) Composer(s): Raymond Vincent - Bruno Libert - Meakin Performer(s): Raymond Vincent
Rolling along Rue de la Paix Hearing a song, turn it away And all alone, killing the day Rolling along Rue de la Paix Drift in a park Picking the score Back in a car Call it a bore Call it a bore Call it a bore
For all the years he tried They said he wasn't right They left him in the night To win a bitter fight He knew they couldn't know They'd never seen his show And in a final throe He wrote his last tango For all the years he tried They said he wasn't right They left him in the night To win a bitter fight He knew they couldn't know They'd never seen his show And in a final throe He wrote his last tango
Back in his room Another tune The show begins But no one will win Got to be strong Well, it's been so long Back in the room Writing a tune
Turn on the light No time to hide Run down the street Hit on the side Isn't that neat? Isn't that neat?
For all the years he tried They said he wasn't right They left him in the night To win a bitter fight He knew they couldn't know They'd never seen his show And in a final throe He wrote his last tango
Those years he tried They said he wasn't right They left him in the night To win a bitter fight He knew they couldn't know They'd never seen his show And in a final throe He wrote his last tango
Those years he tried They said he wasn't right They left him in the night To win a bitter fight He knew they couldn't know They'd never seen his show And in a final throe He wrote his last tango
Dragonfly Composer(s): Frank Marino
Performer(s): Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
Well listen, someday You'll hear a rush of wings So distant, a sound of secret things There, look there, up in that rusty sky Yonder, sweeps the dragonfly So awesome, he blocks the setting sun He'll come to collect the souls of everyone Come dragon, come In from the sun He floats with an eerie grace A giant blue green sentinal From some distant time and space And because he'll come, he'll have no regrets Surely he'll come to lay this birth to rest I know one day you'll see him But please don't ask me why He will be a secret dragonfly Fly dragon fly, here from the sky So if you hear that sound I'm talkin' about When you know he's near When your times run out Well don't you fear There's nothing that you can say Cause he'll appear and take you to that special place He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you...
