Las Alturas De Machu Picchu Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Tu voz alguien la calló tu honor, la espada, humilló igual que a un cóndor preso así, se te encarceló Servir al conquistador creer en su mismo dios vivir sin tus raíces así, se te condenó Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar Aquí, adoraste al sol aquí, se acató tu ley aquí, no fuiste esclavo aquí, siempre fuiste rey Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez sube a aprender, sube a aprender, aquí, otra vez las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer ... Y el indio llora y al rezar mira al sol, mira al sol y se pregunta sin cesar si su dios le olvidó Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
You have all read the wonderful stories Of the countries far over the sea From whence came our ancestors To establish this land of the free There are some folk who still like to travel To see what they have over there But when they go look, it's not like the book And they find there is none to compare
With beautiful, beautiful Queensland Out where the wild flowers grow (flowers grow) We're proud of our beautiful climate Where we never see ice or snow You can live on the plains or the mountains Or down where the sea breezes blow And you're still in beautiful Queensland The most wonderful state that I know
An old timer called the ?...............? And the fiddle was playing three quarter I held your hand with a new wedding band While Nelly sang Alan Water And even now when we're older dear I still hold a sweet memory Of our wedding ball and the bridal waltz They played for you and me
Las Acacias Composer(s): Jorge Molina Performer(s): Silva Y Villalba and multiple other artists
Ya no vive nadie en ella A la orilla del camino silenciosa está la casa Se diría que sus puertas se cerraron para siempre Se cerraron para siempre sus ventanas Gime el viento en los aleros Desmoronándose las tapias Y en sus piedras cabecean Combatidas por el viento ¡Ay! que viento, las acacias Combatidas por el viento las acacias Dolorido ¡ay! dolorido Fatigado de este viaje Tan largo viaje que es la vida He pasado por las puertas de mi estancia Y una historia a mí me contaron las acacias Todo ha muerto, la alegría y el bullicio Los que fueron la alegría y el calor de aquella casa Unos muertos, muertos y otros vivos, vivos Que tenían muy muerta el alma Se marcharon para siempre de esta casa
Beautiful People
Composer(s): Kenny O'Dell
First release by: Kenny O'Dell - 1967
You've just got to be one of the most Beautiful people in the whole wide world It's true - it's true - it's true And I love you
You're so easy to make conversation with And nobody else can please me that way No one can say that you're a wallflower Cause you've always got something groovy to say
You've just got to be one of the most Beautiful people in the whole wide world It's true - it's true - it's true And I love you
Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition You oughta have a room full of ribbons And wear 'em in your hair every day of the week for me
People turn around they know we're the happiest People today in this whole town And it's no wonder that they kinda wonder If we're not the grooviest couple around
You've just got to be one of the most Beautiful people in the whole wide world It's true - it's true - it's true And I love you
You've just got to be one of the most Beautiful people in the whole wide world It's true - it's true - it's true I love you
I do - I do - I do Mmmm - I love ya
You've just got to be one of the most Beautiful people in the whole wide world It's true - it's true - it's true And I love you
L'artiste Composer(s): J.P. Calvet - C. Level Performer(s): Annie Cordy
Les jours de la s'maine Et tous les week ends Sur toutes les scènes J'existe Je fais des claquettes Je fais des pirouettes Et des galipettes En piste Un jour j'ai choisi Le rire à tout prix Et j'ai toujours pris Mes risques Je fais de mon mieux Mes sauts périlleux Je suis dans vos yeux L'artiste
Même si j'ai tremblé Avant mon entrée Les fameux soirs de première Devant le rideau J'ai un numéro Toujours rigolo Pour plaire Je dois ressembler À la blonde dorée Qui sourit sur mes affiches Le rire aux éclats C'est dans mon contrat Tant pis si l'artiste Est triste
Ma vie, mes amours Passeront toujours En supplément au programme J'n'en demande pas plus Je suis un gugusse Bien avant d'être une femme Mais ne croyez pas Que j'ai malgré ça Une vie meilleure ou pire J'aime ce que je fais Et je ne donnerais Pas ma place pour Un empire même si parfois ma maison, mon chien les fleurs du jardin me manquent c'est que j'ai choisi de risquer ma vie sur le fil des saltimbanques.
Mais vous êtes là Ce soir c'est gala Qui a dit que j'étais triste Mesdames et messieurs C'était pas sérieux Un p'tit bravo pour l'artiste!
Beautiful Pea Green Boat
Composer(s): Laurie Anderson - Edwin Lear
Performer(s): Laurie Anderson
I'm lying in the shade of my family tree I'm a branch that broke off What will become of me?
Dear Mom, I'm lying here in this queen-sized bed I'm thinking back To all the stories you read to me About the little animals who went to sea In their beautiful pea green boat But I can't remember now What happened then? Dear Mom, how does it end?
The owl and the pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat They took some honey and lots of money Wrapped in a five pound note The owl looked up to the stars above And sang to a small guitar O lovely pussy! Pussy my love! What a wonderful pussy you are
Let us be married Too long we've tarried But what shall we do for a ring? What shall we do for a ring? Hey! Hey!
They sailed away for a year and a day To the land where the bong tree grows And there in a wood a piggy wig stood A ring at the end of his nose A ring at the end of his nose
And hand in hand at the edge of the sand They danced by the light of the By the light of the, by the light of the moon
And hand in hand at the edge of the sand They danced by the light of the By the light of the, by the light of the moon The moon, the moon Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Laroo, Laroo, Lilli Bolero Composer(s): Sylvia Dee - Sidney Lippman - Elizabeth Moore Performer(s): Peggy Lee and multiple other artists
Laroo laroo lilli bolero That's a magic sayin' That I heard one day in Napoli When a fortune teller In a dim lit cellar said to me "You say laroo lilli bolero And just like that quick as an arrow You'll find the boy who's meant for you" and sure enough it all came true Laroo laroo lilli bolero
Beautiful Noise
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists
What a beautiful noise Comin' up from the street Got a beautiful sound It's got a beautiful beat It's a beautiful noise Goin' on everywhere Like the clickety-clack Of a train on a track It's got a rhytm to spare
It's a beautiful noise And it's a sound that I love And it fits me as well As a hand in a glove Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise Comin' up from the park It's the song of this kids And it plays until dark
It's the song of the cars On their furious flights But there's even romance In the way that they dance To the beat of the lights
It's a beautiful noise And it's a sound that I love And ist makes me feel good Like a hand in a glove Yes it does, yes it does What a beautiful noise
It's a beautiful noise Made of joy and of strife Like a symphony played By the passing parade It's the music of life
What a beautiful noise Comin' into my room And it's beggin' for me Just to give it a tune
L'arlecchino Gitano ((French & German Versions: L'arlequin De Tolède (by Dalida); Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida)) Composer(s): Ardiente - Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac Performer(s): Dalida
Quando un vibrar di chitarra Accorata e bizzarra Nasce cercando la luna Che risplende serena Un arlecchino gitano Arriva da lontano E canta la serenata Ai segni di Granata
E' primavera là nell'Estramadura Sboccia la gioventù che pero non dura Triste l'autunno già viene con la sera Meglio percio baciar ogni bocca che puoi trovar
Quell'Arlecchino gitano Che arrivo da lontano Desta un vibrar di chitarra Accorata e bizzarra E sotto un raggio di luna Rivede Colombina Che ascolta la sereneta Nel cielo di Granata
E'primavera là nell'Estramadura Lei lo lascio perchè mai l'amore dura E quando lo bacio non fu mai sincera Meglio dimenticar alla bianca luna cantar
Quando un vibrar di chitarra Accorata e bizzarra Nasce cercando la luna Che risplende serena Un arlecchino gitano Arriva da lontano E canta la serenata Ai sogni di Granata
E' primavera ancor nell'Estramadura Egli ha vent'anni in cuor e non si dipera Certo una bocca ancor troverà sincera Che gli farà scordar chi lo volle un giorno lasciar
Beautiful Morning Glory Composer(s): T. Texas Tyler Performer(s): T. Texas Tyler
Beautiful morning glory kissed and caressed by the dew Beautiful morning glory good morning glory to you
I've traveled all over the country I seldom sleep in a bed When my feet get tired of walking I simply stand on my (head) Beautiful morning glory...
I stopped at a house for a handout I didn't go there to beg And I'd jumped the great big ol' bulldog and took her bite out off my (leg) Beautiful morning glory...
I once had a bald headed girl friend I knocked her wig off at a dance And when I stooped over to get it she kicked me right in my (ass) Beautiful morning glory... Good morning glory to you
L'arlequin De Tolède ((German & Italian Versions: Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida); L'arlecchino Gitano (by Dalida)) Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac Performer(s): Dalida
Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres Le blanc d'un rayon de lune jouant sur sa peau brune Un Arlequin de Tolède passe dans la nuit tiède Il chante la sérénade des amants de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure Que le temps d'un instant car la vie est dure Pour les jeunes amants qui veulent croire aux serments
Et l'Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède En caressant sa guitare trouve un accord bizarre Un écho de mandoline il revoit Colombine Vibrante à la sérénade d'un Pierrot de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure Hier c'était lui l'amant mais cela ne dure Que le temps d'un serment d'un je te le jure Avec cette leçon il a fait une chanson
Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres Un Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède Entend sous la lune blonde tous les amants du monde Qui chantent la sérénade des amants de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure Que le temps d'un instant pour une âme dure Aujourd'hui c'est l'été et vive la liberté
Beautiful Maria Of My Soul
((Spanish Version: Bella Maria de Mi Alma (by Antonio Banderas))
Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher
Performer(s): Los Lobos - 1987
and multiple other artists
In the sunlight of your smile In the summer of our life In the magic of love Storms above scattered away
Lovers dreaming in the night Reaching for paradise But as the dark shadows fade Love slips away
On an empty stretch of beach In the pattern of the waves Drawing pictures with my hand In the sand, I see your face
Skipping pebbles on the sea Wishing for paradise Sand castles crumble below The restless tides ebb and flow Listening to a shell Hoping for your voice Beautiful Maria of my soul
Though we'll always be apart Locked forever in a dream If I ever love again Even then, nothing will change
And the taste of you remains Clinging to paradise But as the distance from you grows All that my heart ever knows Hunger for your kiss Longing for your touch Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights Haunting all my days Beautiful Maria of my soul
Beautiful Love

Beautiful love You are a mystery Beautiful love What have you done to me I was content till you came along Thrilling me with your song
Beautiful love I've ruined your paradise Searching for my dream to realize Reaching for heaven depending on you Beautiful love Will my dreams come true
Reaching for heaven depending on you Beautiful love Will my dreams come true
C'est incroyable Chaque fois que nous partons en vacances On prend toujours trop d'affaires Mais cette fois-ci pas question Même si mes enfants me disent
Les animaux n'ont pas de chemise Pas de robe, pas de valises Ils nous ont vus faire nos bagages Ils voudront être du voyage Qu'est-ce qu'on fait?
On va décider
La chouette et ses lunettes Quel regard elle a! - On la prend, dis, maman? Le lièvre aux grandes oreilles Gambade déjà - On le prend, dis, maman? Le canari qui s'est blessé On n'peut pas le laisser Prends-le si tu veux - On le prends dis maman? Il guérira mieux Et ton petit chien Framboise Frétille déjà - On le prend, dis maman? L'agneau plein de bouclettes Qui dort près de toi - Prends-le, prends-le maman!
Et sur la route on va penser C'est l'Arche de Noë Enfin ça ira - La plus belle c'est maman On se serrera
On trouve toujours de la place Pour ceux qu'on aime Et si en chemin tombe la pluie Ce sera comme au Déluge aussi
Le chat et la souris blanche Qui ne se quittent pas - On les prend, dis, maman? Et le canard sauvage, qui le nourrira? - On le prend, dis maman?
Et sur la route on va penser C'est l'Arche de Noë Enfin, ça ira - La plus belle, c'est maman On se serrera
La la la la ... - La plus belle, c'est maman La la la la ... - La plus belle, c'est maman
Et sur la route on va penser C'est l'Arche de Noë Enfin, ça ira - La plus belle, c'est maman Va chercher ton papa
Beautiful Loser
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger; The Spiny Anteaters
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
You realize you just cant have it all
Hes your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, hell be there again
Hes always willing to be second best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser, read it on the wall
And realize, you just cant have it all
... you cant have it all, you cant have it all
Oh, oh, ... cant have it all
Hell never make any enemies
He wont complain if hes caught in a freeze
Hell always ask, hell always say please
Beautiful loser, never take it all
cause its easier, faster when you fall
You just dont need it all
Oh, oh, ... you just dont need it all
L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Cet arc-en-ciel qui nous étonne Quand il se lève après la pluie S'il insiste, il fait monotone Et l'on se détourne de lui L'adage a raison: la meilleure Chose en traînant se dévalue L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Personne ne l'admire plus L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Est superflu
Celui que l'aura populaire Avait mis au gouvernail quand Il fallait sauver la galère En détresse dans l'ouragan Passé péril en la demeure Ne fut même pas réélu L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Personne ne l'admire plus L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Est superflu
Cette adorable créature Me répétait: "je t'aime tant Qu'à ta mort, sur ta sépulture Je me brûle vive à l'instant!" À mon décès, l'ordonnateur(e) Des pompes funèbres lui plut L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Personne ne l'admire plus L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Est superflu
Ce cabotin naguère illustre Et que la foule applaudissait À tout rompre durant trois lustres Nul à présent ne sait qui c'est Aucune lueur ne demeure De son étoile révolue L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Personne ne l'admire plus. L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure Est superflu
I don't know why I call you my dear I don't know why I feel so sincere Why do I want you why am I glad Why am I happy, why am I sad Why do I smile when I ought to cry Why do you say good-bye Why am I yearning, my heart is burning I know the reason why
You are the dearest you are the best You are so different from all the rest I love to gaze in those tender eyes, A world of wealth is no greater prize You have a charm that seems to be new It thrills me thru and thru Don't leave me lonely I want you only Nobody else but you
Beautiful girl I love you, beautiful girl, I love you I loved you truly for many a day There's only one thing that my heart seems to say Beautiful girl You haunt me, beautiful girl I want you I love your eyes Your smile, your sighs You beautiful, beautiful girl
L'arbre Va Tomber Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
L'arbre va tomber Les branches salissaient les murs Rien ne doit rester Le monsieur veut garer sa voiture Nous, on l'avait griffé Juste pour mettre des flèches et des curs Mais l'arbre va tomber Le monde regarde ailleurs L'arbre va tomber Ça fera de la place au carrefour L'homme est décidé Et l'homme est le plus fort, toujours C'est pas compliqué Ça va pas lui prendre longtemps Tout faire dégringoler L'arbre avec les oiseaux dedans! Y avait pourtant tellement de gens Qui s'y abritaient Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore Toujours sur nous penché Quand les averses tombaient Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors L'arbre va tomber L'homme veut mesurer sa force Et l'homme est décidé La lame est déjà sur l'écorce Y avait pourtant tellement de gens Qui s'y abritaient Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore Toujours sur nous penché Quand les averses tombaient Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors L'arbre va tomber On se le partage déjà Y a rien à regretter C'était juste un morceau de bois Un bout de forêt Avancé trop près des maisons Et pendant qu'on parlait L'arbre est tombé pour de bon! Y avait pourtant tellement de gens Qui s'y abritaient Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver Quand les averses tombaient T'as dû en voir passer Des cortèges de paumés Des orages, des météores Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver Quand les averses tombaient Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors À perdre le nord À coucher dehors... à coucher dehors
Beautiful Daughter Composer(s): Roy Wood Performer(s): The Move
Well it's nice in its way, "Yes", you know, some of it, not uh, not when they go naked Uh, you are obviously not British people, where are you from? "I'm British You're British, you were born in Britain Where is you, where? "Stepney" Stepney. Nice, um, what are your favorite British pop artists? Um, well I don't have one anyway Do you like reggae? It's my music
There we go, running before we can walk again Can you imagine the hours I keep Learning to sleep again, see her face again Blast the world, fruits of the morning... Carry the weight of the heart in a storm Suffer the dawn today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay
Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share Wanting you there today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay
Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep Can you imagine the hours I keep Learning to sleep again, again
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak The pillow where she lay ...
