Las Madres Del Amor Composer(s): León Gieco - Luis Gurevich Performer(s): León Gieco
Enarbolando dignidad sobre pueblos vencidos abriéndose caminos entre sueño y horror van pariendo mucha más vida de la que se truncó Por siempre joven nos mira la foto de ayer y hoy
Y mañana seguirán con fuego en los pies quemando olvido, silencio y perdón Van saltando todos los charcos del dolor que sangró Desparramando fe,las Madres del Amor
Muchos son los santos que están entre rejas de Dios y tantos asesinos gozando de este sol Todos los gritos rebotarán entre los años sin voz Silueta y catedral, campanas y reloj
Y mañana seguirán tapándole los ojos al cielo para que no vuelva a llorar Van cruzando este destino entre ignorancia y valor luz en la oscuridad las Madres del Amor
J'ai un Bébé Soleil
Dans le creux de mes nuits
Qui berce mon sommeil
Et qui luit
Frimousse ébouriffée
Qui monte à pas feutrés
L'escalier de la chambre l'été
J'ai un Bébé Soleil
Dans le ciel de ma vie
Qui vient dès qu'elle s'éveille
Dans mon lit
Me raconter ses rêves
Et chanter des chansons
Blottie contre mon cur et s'est bon
Petit câlin
Dès le matin
Pour bien entamer la journée
Petit bonheur
Mon cur voudrait éclater
À l'heure où les enfants
Se sont tous endormis
Un orage éclatait
Dans la nuit
Et mon Bébé Soleil
Cur battant sous la pluie
Est venue me rejoindre sans bruit
Des larmes de frayeur coulaient
Sur ses joues sans arrêt
C'est fou comme elle tremblait
Je lui ai conté les bagarres
De ces nuages noirs
Quand ils se rencontraient
Le jour était levé
Quand l'orage a cessé
Croissants crème de marrons
Pain grillé
Le ciel était tout clair
Au petit déjeuner
Il y avait des éclairs au café
Petit plongeon
Dans le savon
Les crèmes et la mousse à raser
Petit bonheur
La peur est vite oubliée
Petit bonheur
Mon cur voudrait éclater
Il me manquait trois mots
Pour finir un couplet
Tout seul à mon piano
Je cherchais
J'ai senti qu'elle entrait
Sur la pointe des pieds
C'est alors qu'elle s'est mise à danser
Ses pas volaient sur le tapis
Elle éclatait de vie
J'étais au Paradis
Elle connaissait déjà par cur
Cette chanson d'une heure
Et la chantait aussi ...
C'est un Bébé Soleil
Dans le creux de mes nuits
Qui berce mon sommeil
Et qui luit
Frimousse ébouriffée
Qui monte à pas feutrés
L'escalier de la chambre l'été ...
Bébé Requin
Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Jean-Michel Rivat - Frank Thomas
Performer(s): France Gall
Viens suis moi
Je connais une route d'émail
Qui mêne
Au pays de perles et de corail
Je suis un bébé requin
Au ventre blanc aux dents nacrées
Dans les eaux chaudes
Je t'entraînerai
Et sans que tu le sache
Avec amour avec douceur
Moi vois-tu bébé requin
Je veux te dévorer le cur
Bébé requin bébé velours
Bébé requin bébé d'amour
Bébé requin bébé velours
Bébé requin bébé d'amour
Et s'il le faut
Moi je me battrai avec mes surs
Je veux être la seule
À te manger le cur
Je suis un bébé requin
Au ventre blanc aux dents nacrées
Dans les eaux chaudes
Je t'entraînerai
Et sans que tu le sache
Avec amour avec douceur
Moi vois-tu bébé requin
Je veux te dévorer le cur
Bébé requin bébé velours
Bébé requin bébé d'amour
Bébé requin bébé velours
Bébé requin bébé d'amour
Las Hojas Verdes ((Adapted from: The Green Leaves of Summer (by The Brothers Four) - 1960)) Composer(s): Paul Francis Webster - Dimitri Tiomkin Performer(s): Dúo Dinámico
La voz de los campos llegó nuevamente Sentí su llamada, oí su cantar La canción del verano el hogar me recuerda Y el verdor de las hojas tu dulce mirar
Llegó la abundancia Nació la alegría Y el sol resplandece Igual mi querer
Nacerán hojas verdes Nacerán otra vez Y al cubrir la campiña Contigo estaré
Llegó la abundancia Nació la alegría Y el sol resplandece Igual mi querer
Nacerán hojas verdes Nacerán otra vez Y al cubrir la campiña Contigo estaré Contigo estaré
Beauty School Dropout
Composer(s): Warren Casey - Jim Jacobs
First release by: Frankie Avalon - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists
Your story's sad to tell A teenage ne'er do well Most mixed up young delinquent on the block Your futures so unclear now What's left of your career now Can't even get a trade in on your smile
Beauty school dropout No graduation day for you Beauty school dropout Missed your mid-terms and flunked shampoo Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix you nose up
Baby get moving (Better get movin) Why keep your feeble hopes alive What are you proving (What are you provin) You've got the dream but not the drive
If you go for your diploma you will join a steno pool Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) Hanging around the corner store Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) It's about time you knew the score
Well they couldn't teach you anything you think you're such a looker But no customer would go to you unless she was a hooker
Baby don't sweat it (Don't sweat it) You're not cut out to hold a job Better forget it (Forget it) Who wants their hair done by a slob?
Now your bangs are curled your lashes whirled but still the world is cruel Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school
Baby don't blow it Don't put my good advice to shame Baby you know it Even Dear Abby'd say the same
Now I've called the shot, get off the block, I really gotta fly Gotta be going to that malt shop on the sky
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) Go back to high school Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) Go back to high school Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) Go back to high school
The Green Leaves Of Summer ((Spanish Version: Las Hojas Verdes (by Dúo Dinámico)) Composer(s): Paul Francis Webster - Dimitri Tiomkin Performer(s): The Brothers Four - 1960 and multiple other artists
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin' The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home 'Twas so good to be young then, in a season of plenty When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin' A time to be courtin' a girl of your own 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin' The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home 'Twas so good to be young then, with the sweet smell of apples And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin' A time just for livin', a place for to die 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home
Beauty Is Under The Skin Composer(s): Tom Fogerty Performer(s): Tom Fogerty and multiple other artists
There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And they call it Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay Goin' down to Lonesome Town To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget
Beauty is under the skin, I say Beauty is under the skin Don't wanna hear it, but I know it's true Beauty is under the skin
Cover is holdin' the book, I say Cover is holdin' the book Don't wanna hear it, but I know it's true Cover is holdin' the book
A pretty face is gone in space A beautiful lady has got my place
Beauty is under the skin, I say Beauty is under the skin Don't wanna hear it, but I know it's true Beauty is under the skin
A pretty face is gone in space A beautiful lady has got my place
Beauty is under the skin, I say Beauty is under the skin Don't wanna hear it, but I know it's true Beauty is under the skin
Beauty is under the skin Beauty is under the skin Beauty is under the skin Beauty is under the skin
Las Cuatro Y Diez Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Luis Eduardo Aute
Fue en ese cine, te acuerdas en una mañana al este de Edén James Dean tiraba piedras a una casa blanca, entonces te besé Aquélla fue la primera vez tus labios parecían de papel y a la salida en la puerta nos pidió un triste inspector nuestros carnets Luego volví a la academia para no faltar a clase de francés tú me esperaste hora y media en esta misma mesa, yo me retrasé
Quieres helado de fresa o prefieres que te pida ya el café Cuéntame como te encuentras aunque sé que me responderás: muy bien Ten, esta foto es muy fea el más pequeño acababa de nacer Oiga, me trae la cuenta calla, que fui yo quien te invitó a comer No te demores, no sea que no llegues a la hora al almacén Llámame el día que puedas date prisa que ya son las cuatro y diez
Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Norman Whitfield
First release by: The Temptations - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
So in love, sad as could be 'Cause a pretty face got the best of me Suddenly you came into my life And gave it meaning and thrill and delight Now good looks I've learned to do without 'Cause now I know it's love that really counts 'Cause I know (Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah) I know that beauty's only skin deep (Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah)
Now you speak your words warm and sincere It lets me know that your love is dear A pretty face you may not possess But what I like about you is your tenderness A pretty face may sometimes taste But I'll take lovin' in it's place 'Cause I know (Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah) I know that beauty's only skin deep (Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah) (Oh yeah) (Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah) (Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah)
My friends ask what do I see in you But it goes deeper than the eye can view You have a pleasing personality And that's an ever-livin' rare quality Now, show me a girl, a girl who looks fine And I'd choose the one with true lovin' every time 'Cause I know (Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah) And I believe you know that beauty's only skin deep (Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah)
So if you're lookin' for a lover Don't judge a book by its cover She may be fine on the outside But so untrue on the inside...
Las Cosas Tienen Movimiento Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Muchas veces me pregunto que estamos haciendo aca dejo de pensar y ve- o que al final siempre estaras siempre estaras en mi He llegado a no escucharte tocar fondo tanta inmensidad, perdidos de verdar aqui y es que siempre estaras siempre estaras, en mi
Una voz, como un sentimiento o una cancion algo mas que me ayude a despertar a seguir, a no bajar la guardia siempre a seguir no esperes no te enseñaré a vivir
Movimiento, las cosas tienen movimiento la oportunidad de estar en libertad es que siempre estaras siempre estaras en mi Como un soplo como una lluvia como un rayo una luna oxigenaras, mi vida hasta estallar es que siempre estaras siempre estaras en mi Una voz

When I first came here, just a month ago Brought in by a little girl who loved me so She began to cry, 'til they told her I Could be taken home Christmas Day
Christmas Eve is drawing nearer, and I'm getting scared Wish I could see in a mirror, how I've been repaired I'll be called for soon, but I'm worried so Will she love me like she did a month ago
Are My Ears On Straight, I can hardly wait To be taken home Christmas Day

Las Cosas Que Uno Quiere Composer(s): Rubén Goldin Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Yo tengo para mis amigos la libertad de dejarlos solos cuando quieran matarse en un recuerdo Yo quiero para mis amigos la mejor tierra un mate calentito en el invierno y una triguena que les quite el sueño
Y en las tardes mansas una nueva cancion que hable de ellos de la gente que uno quiere de la gente que uno quiere de la gente que uno quiere No puedo ver esos muchachos en la derrota parados en el medio de la vida sin saber que hacer
Yo quiero que juntemos nuestras fuerzas y mueran los miedos creciendo para arriba sin veneno como crece el maiz Esto no es un juego, lo sabemos muy bien la vida no es una novela levantamos los brazos hacia el sol Y en las tardes mansas una nueva cancion que hable de ellas de las cosas que uno quiere
Beautiful World
Composer(s): Paul Carrack - T-Bone Wolk
Performer(s): Paul Carrack
Beautiful World, you taught me to remember All the feelings, I lost along the way I was afraid, alone in my confusion Running and hiding `stead of living from day to day When we were walking, we touched the summer flowers And I saw the wonder, oh in a young child`s eye Well I looked around and saw how truly grateful That I should be for all the love I`ve found
Beautiful World well you shook me to my senses And opened my eyes to the love inside of me It`s up to me, if I can always believe In the way I see it now, what a Beautiful World It would always be
