La Vida Es Una Moneda Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
La vida en una moneda quien la rebusca la tiene ojo que hablo de monedas y no de grueso billetes mi vida en una hoja en blanco un piano desafinado diez dedos largos y flacos y un manojo de palabras
Solo se trata de vivir / esa es la historia con la sonrisa en el ojal / con la idiotez y la locura de todos los dias / a lo mejor resulta bien La gente sueña que sueña la calle sigue que sigue el taxi gira que gira el cielo y la ancha avenida
Los dias cantan la historia / del hombre al borde del hombre los dias cantan mañana / los dias no tienen miedo Solo se trata de vivir / esa es la historia con un amor sin un amor / con la inocencia y la ternura que florece a veces / a lo mejor resulta bien Si nos inunda el asfalto de sensaciones profundas gocemos bien nuestro ahogo que es nuestra imagen fecunda
La vida en una moneda quien la rebusca la tiene ojo que hablo de monedas y no de grueso billetes Solo se trata de vivir / esa es la historia con la sonrisa en el ojal / con la idiotez y la locura de todos los dias / a lo mejor resulta bien
Solo se trata de vivir / esa es la historia con un amor sin un amor / con la inocencia y la ternura de todos los dias / a lo mejor resulta bien
Bad News From Home
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Randy Newman; Mathilde Santing
High on a cliff in Mexico Staring down at the rocks and the sea below I can hear the church bells ring I can hear the choir
I remember the night she left I drove to the station in the pouring rain Sat all night behind my big iron desk The oil on the water made a rainbow
At the end of this bone white gravel road They both lie sleeping on a feather bed And her hair is black as the sky at night But her eyes are gray like the moon You can run but you can't hide You can run but you can't hide You said you love me but I know you lied You said you love me but I know you lied
La Vida Es Un Mix Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Desnudos en el río mirando los planetas hablando y hablando Pisando los charcos con los Dioses en el aire dando y dando Yo puedo ver hacia adelante y lo que veo me gusta tanto que cruzaré el mar si me lo pides en la cresta de la ola surfeandolo
Pero no llores más nena no llores más trato y trato de hacerte entender La vida es un mix y todo está bien siempre y cuando vos lo quieras
Yo soy la mitad del hombre que debía ser pero justo la mitad que necesitas y aún así voy a parar la lluvia y te traeré el sol en un puño lleno de margaritas Yo puedo ver hacia adelante y lo que veo es lo que siento Y problema no es que la vida sea corta el problema es que estamos muertos demasiado tiempo
Pero no llores más nena no llores más trato y trato de hacerte entender La vida es un mix y todo está bien siempre y cuando vos lo quieras
trato y trato de hacerte entender La vida es un mix y todo está bien siempre y cuando
La vida es un mix todo está bien La vida es un mix todo está bien nena no llores más La vida es un mix

Well, bad news travels like wildfire Good news travels slow They all call me "wildfire" 'Cause ev'rybody knows I'm bad news, ev'rywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And a-leavin' little girls That hate to see me go
They tried to hang me in Oakland And they did in Francisco But I wouldn't choke, I broke the rope And they had to let me go 'Cause I'm bad news, ev'rywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And leavin' little girls That hate to see me go
Now, from North to South, to East to West The story is the same From one state to another I have to change my name 'Cause I'm bad news, ev'rywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And a-leavin' little girls That sure hate to see me go Well, now I picked peaches in Georgia I lumberjacked in Maine I've been hired, and fired, and jailed Any town you can name 'Cause I'm bad news, ev'rywhere I go Always gettin' into trouble And a-leavin' little girls That hate to see me go
La Vida Es Un Carnaval Composer(s): Victor Daniel Performer(s): Celia Cruz
Todo aquel que piense que la vida es desigual tiene que saber que no es así que la vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla Todo aquel que piense que está solo y que está mal tiene que saber que no es así que en la vida no hay nadie solo, siempre hay alguien
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval es más bello vivir cantando Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar que la vida es un carnaval y las penas se van cantando
Todo aquel que piense que la vida siempre es cruel tiene que saber que no es así que tan solo hay momentos malos, y todo pasa Todo aquel que piense que esto nunca va a cambiar tiene que saber que no es así que al mal tiempo buena cara, y todo pasa
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval es más bello vivir cantando Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar que la vida es un carnaval y las penas se van cantando Para aquellos que se quejan tanto Para aquellos que solo critican Para aquellos que usan las armas Para aquellos que nos contaminan Para aquellos que hacen la guerra Para aquellos que viven pecando Para aquellos nos maltratan Para aquellos que nos contagian La Vida es un Carnaval

I see the bad moon arising I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightnin' I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes ablowing I know the end is coming soon I fear rivers over flowing I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise All right!
Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye
Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise
Bad Man's Blunder
Composer(s): Lee Hays - Cisco Houston
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; White Mountain Singers
Well early one evenin' I was rolling around I was feelin' kinda mean I shot a deputy down Strolled along home and I went to bed Well I laid my pistol up under my head
(He strolled along home) I took my time (And he went to bed) Thought I'd sleep some (Laid his pistrol) Big 22" (Up under his head) I keep it handy
Well early in the mornin' bout the break of day I figured it was time to make a getaway Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico
(Well he was steppin' right along) I were a hot-footin' it (But he was steppin' too slow) It was a sultry day (Got surrounded by a sheriff) Boxed in (In Mexico) I didn't even have a chance to see the country
When I was arrested well I didn't have a dime The sheriff said, 'Son you're riding free this time 'Where you're going you won't need a cent 'Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent'
('Cause where you're going) I think he means jail (You won't need a cent) Well he knows I'm broke ('Cause the great state of Texas) Yippee! (Gonna pay your rent) I'm mighty grateful fellas
Well I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file Naturally I stayed around until my trial Judge was an old man, Ninety-three And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
(Well the judge was an old man) Too old (Ninety-three) Entirely too old I didn't like the way..the jury looked at me I think they were suspicious
(The judge and jury they did agree) (They all said murder in the first degree) (The judge said same) 'Well I dunno whether to hang you or not but this here killin' of deputy sheriffs has just naturally got to stop' [You gotta point there judge]
It was a most unsatisfactory trial They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground And all I ever did was shoot a deputy down
(Ninety and nine) It could have been life (On the hard rock pile) They might-a hung me (And all he ever did...was shoot a deputy down...) This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me [Bang! You're dead!]

La Verónica Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
No se filmó en Portugal eso no estaba en su plan ella deshizo valijas prendió un cigarrillo y bajo a la ciudad Roma no estaba tan mal debo admitir nada mal algo mantiene el hechizo penso y se dejo llevar por un tipo que bajaba solo por la calle del calvario
plano secuencia real solo debo caminar si de algo estaba segura era que su Verónica no iba a llorar tarde de crucifixión clavan al hijo de Dios guarda el guión en un bolso amarillo y se tira al sol a bailar
Todas las vidas cayeron al mar es tan suave verlas todas las vidas cayeron al mar y se van, y se van, y se van ella quiso hacerlo tan feliz Exterior - día - toma 22 y el sudor de Cristo dibujado sobre un manto
Todas las vidas cayeron al mar es tan suave verlas todas las vidas cayeron al mar y se van, y se van, y se van ella quiso hacerlo tan feliz el quiso un amor y no una actriz ella quiso hacerlo tan feliz
El y su coraza de marfil diseminada a resistir los encantos del jazmín yo no se porque eligió su dulce piel fue quizás que la vio tan sola yo no se ni porque eligió aquella mujer no hizo mas que volverse loca y el sudor de Cristo dibujado sobre un manto todas las vidas...

They cut down on smokin' [Cut down on smokin']
We have to cut down on dreamin' [Cut down on dreamin']
`Cause early one morning I got me a paper, huh
I sat down on my living room floor
Opened it up [Opened it up], opened it up [Opened it up]
Guess, what I saw, huh?
Saw the President of the United States, huh
The man said he was gonna give it up
He's giving us high hopes
But he still turned around and left all us poor folks behind
They say they got another man to take his place
But I don't think they need to satisfy the human race
Bad luck, huh
Bad luck, bad luck, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
The only the thing that I got that I can hold on
Is my God, huh, my God, huh
Jesus be with me, Jesus
Give me good luck, huh, good luck
Help me Jesus, huh
Everybody needs
La Vérité Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Guy Béart
Le premier qui dit se trouve toujours sacrifié D'abord on le tue Puis on s'habitue On lui coupe la langue on le dit fou à lier Après sans problèmes Parle le deuxième Le premier qui dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté
J'affirme que l'on m'a proposé beaucoup d'argent Pour vendre mes chances Dans le Tour de France Le Tour est un spectacle et plaît à beaucoup de gens Et dans le spectacle Y a pas de miracle Le coureur a dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté
À Chicago un journaliste est mort dans la rue Il fera silence Sur tout ce qu'il pense Pauvre Président tous tes témoins ont disparu En chur ils se taisent Ils sont morts les treize Le témoin a dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté
Le monde doit s'enivrer de discours pas de vin Rester dans la ligne Suivre les consignes À Moscou un poète à l'Union des écrivains Souffle dans la soupe Où mange le groupe. Le poète a dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté.
Combien d'hommes disparus qui un jour ont dit non Dans la mort propice Leurs corps s'évanouissent On se souvient ni de leurs yeux ni de leur nom Leurs mots qui demeurent Chantent "juste" à l'heure L'inconnu a dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté
Un jeune homme à cheveux longs grimpait le Golgotha La foule sans tête Etait à la fête Pilate a raison de ne pas tirer dans le tas C'est plus juste en somme D'abattre un seul homme Ce jeune homme a dit la vérité Il doit être exécuté
Bad Love Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Mick Jones Performer(s): Eric Clapton
Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you You take my heart into everything you do And it makes me sad for the lonely people I walked that road for so long Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people Your love is making me strong
I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love
And now I see that my life has been so blue With all the heartaches I had till I met you But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me With you here by my side And there's no more memories to remind me Your love will keep me alive
I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love
I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love
I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love
La Vergüenza Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Tengo una mesa que me alimenta que a veces tiene hasta de fiesta Mas si tuviera sólo una araña burlona en mi despensa tendría la vergüenza ¿A qué más?
Tengo zapatos tengo camisa tengo sombrero tengo hasta risa Mas si tuviera en mi ropero sólo las perchas vacías la vergüenza tendría ¿A qué más?
Tengo billetes como de octava clase pero así viajo: contento de ir de viaje pues para un viaje me basta con mis piernas viajo si equipaje Más de una mano en lo oscuro me conforta y más de un paso siento marchar conmigo pero si no tuviera, no importa sé que hay muertos que alumbran los caminos
Tengo luz fría y lavamanos cables, botones casi humanos Pero si fuera ay, mi paisaje sólo de ruinas intensas tendría la vergüenza ¿A qué más?
Bad Liver And A Broken Heart
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits
Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart
yea I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
and I don't have a drinking problem
'cept when I can't get a drink
And I wish you'd a known her
we were quite a pair
she was sharp as a razor
and soft as a prayer
so welcome to the continuing saga
she was my better half
and I was just a dog
and so here am I slumped
I been chippied I been chumped
on my stool
so buy this fool, some spirits and libations
it's these railroad station bars
with all these conductors and the porters
and I'm all out of quarters
and this epitaph is the aftermath
yea I choose my path
hey come on Cath, he's a lawyer
he ain't the one for ya
and no the moon ain't romantic
it's intimidating as hell
and some guy's trying to sell
me a watch
And so I'll meet you at the
bottom of a bottle of
bargain Scotch
I got me a bottle and a dream
it's so maudlin it seems
you can name your poison
go on ahead and make some noise
I ain't sentimental
this ain't a purchase it's a rental
and it's purgatory, hey
what's your story, well
I don't even care
'cause I got my own double-cross to bear
and I'll see your Red Label
and I'll raise you one more
and you can pour me a cab
I just can't drink no more
'cause it don't douse the flames
that are started by dames
It ain't like asbestos
it don't do nothing but
rest us assured
and substantiate the rumors
that you've heard
Bad Life

Performer(s): John Lydon; Public Image Ltd.
Call me up after midnight
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
What do you want, what do I get?
Did you just need the argument?
Well, bad life
Cockroach city, lucky for some
Richest island in the sun
That's life
Name of the game, it's competition
Top of the pile, net demolition
This is what you want
This is what you get
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad life
Bad life
Now, this machine is on the move
Now, looking out for number one
The open road and getting gasoline
Well, bad life
Bad, bad, bad life
(missing lyrics for this line)
Well, that's life! (Well, that's life)
