Lejana Tierra Mia Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel and multiple other artists
Lejana tierra mìa bajo tu cielo , bajo tu cielo quiero morirme un dìa con tu consuelo, con tu consuelo y oir el canto de oro de tus campanas, que tanto añoro no sè si al contemplarte al regresar sabrè reir o llorar Silencio de mi aldea que sòlo quiebra, la serenata de un ardiente romeo bajo una dulce, luna de plata en un balcòn florido se oyò el murmullo, de un juramento que la brisa llevò con el rumor de otras cuitas de amor
Siempre està, el balcòn con su flor, y su sol tu no estàs, faltas tù ¡oh mi amor! lejana tierra mìa de mis amores, ¡como te nombro! en mis noches sin sueños con las pupilas, llenas de asombro dime estrellita mìa que no son vanas, mis esperanzas que tu sabes que pronto he de volver, a mi viejo querer
Boire Un Petit Coup C'est Agréable Composer(s): Valbonne; Félix Boyer
Boire un petit coup c'est agréable Boire un petit coup c'est doux Mais il ne faut pas rouler dessous la table Boire un petit coup c'est agréable Boire un petit coup c'est doux
Allons dans les bois ma mignonette Allons dans les bois du roi! Nous y cueillerons la frîche violette Allons dans les bois ma mignonette Allons dans les bois du roi!
Non Firmin, tu n'auras pas ma rose Non Firmin, tu n'l'auras pas Car Monsieur le curé a défendu la chose Non Firmin, tu n'auras pas ma rose Non Firmin, tu n'l'auras pas
J'aime le jambon et la saucisse J'aime le jambon c'est bon! Mais j'aime encore mieux le lait de ma nourrice J'aime le jambon et le saucisse J'aime le jambon c'est bon!
Leïla Et Les Chasseurs Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Leïla, si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs Leïla, si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs Pas la peine de mentir Leïla sait ce que veut dire Ce feu sous les paupières blanches Qui fixe le dessous de ses hanches Des mots humides de pluie Qui meurent aussitôt dits Des corps tendus immobiles Après les éclairs faciles Leïla, elle les connaît trop Faux nez et faux numéros Même par terre même morts Et quand même les plus forts Les phrases pleines de détours Qui craignent la lumière du jour Ils cachent tous quelque chose Ils chassent tous quelque chose
Leïla, si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs Leïla, si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs Y a ceux qui pleurent de joie En ajoutant une croix Ceux qui l'aiment à tout jamais Qui ont un avion juste après Ceux qui ont des barques sur la Seine Trop loin pour que je t'y emmène Ceux qui ont de l'or plein les châteaux Ceux qui ont des ports pleins de bateaux Ils parlent tellement fort Ils sont tellement nombreux Qu'un soir de fatigue elle s'endort Contre la peau de l'un d'eux Pour peu qu'il soit d'une autre sorte Un peu moins menteur que les autres Elle aura le gris du matin Et les fleurs du papier peint
Leïla si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs Leïla, si tu savais les yeux qu'elle a Quand elle voit s'approcher les chasseurs, les chasseurs Leïla n'y peut pas grand chose Si elle a la fraîcheur des roses Elle est la cible de vos flèches Mais c'est pas vous qu'elle cherche Elle rêve d'un fragile, d'un fou Qui l'embrasse au quinzième rendez-vous Qui tremble en lui prenant la main Et surtout qui ne dise rien Leïla, elle les connaît trop Faux nez et faux numéros Même par terre même morts Et quand même les plus forts Ils cachent tous quelque chose Ils chassent tous quelque chose

Lei Composer(s): Umberto Tozzi Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi
Esco con lei, mi trucco un po', lentamente t'aspetterò' fischietto un po', dolcemente fuori città nell'omertà' l'amerò' sognando
ha gli occhi blu e non lo fa chiaramente chiede di più ma mi amerà veramente ci penso un po' "ti amo o no" e sento finalmente le sue mani e lei...
e' tutto quello che vorrei...e' lei che riempie tutti i giorni miei...e' lei che sogno tante verità...e' lei che sola da' felicità...e per lei finché vivrò non avrò no, e l'amerò'
esco da lì se non e' così come un pazzo me ne andrò (via via via via) lontano
ma ha gli occhi blu (ha gli occhi blu) e lo farà chiaramente e vorrò di più (vorrò di più), se mi amerà veramente ci pensa un po' (ci pensa un po') dice di no (dice di no), e dolcemente sento le (le le le le ) sue mani
lei, e' tutto un mare di trofei e' lei, che copre tanti sbagli miei e' lei che sa inventarti come sei per lei, io aspetto l'anno che vorrei e per lei, finché vivrò non avrò no e l'amerò'
ci pensa un po', dice di no e dolcemente sento (le le le le) sue mani ...
Bohemian Rhapsody Composer(s): Freddie Mercury Originally performed by: Queen Covered by various other artists
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go A little high, little low Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooo Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody - I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come easy go - will you let me go Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go Will not let you go - let me go (never) Never let you go - let me go Never let me go - ooo No, no, no, no, no, no, no - Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh baby - can't do this to me baby Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah Nothing really matters Anyone can see Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Boga Boga Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Por el día o por la noche el pescador sale a la mar La mar no le ha puesto horario aún de navegar
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Por el día o por la noche el pescador y su piel llevan red, llevan anzuelo y más llevan deber
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Pasan las horas, pasan días y se cuentan por meses Y su alegría y su tristeza la conocen los peces De entre sus manos ve venir cada rincón del porvenir el rostro de la novia, la mamá o el que nació el mismo día en que él partió
Entonces jura que ahora sí que va a vivir entonces jura que más nunca va a salir que esta vez sí es la última en el mar Y pasa el tiempo y no ve el día de volver Y pasa el tiempo entre peligros, sin mujer Y pasa el tiempo que no deja respirar
Pero la tierra se acaba cuando vuelve el pescador por eso regresa siempre al mar su gran amor
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Y va de océano en océano con su anzuelo, con su red Caiga el rayo o sople el viento, allí es donde se ve
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Nadie sabe cómo sueña cómo sueña un pescador cada vez que cobra presa, allí viene su amor
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
El pescador lleva a bordo una palma y un amor El amor lo hala del fondo, la palma del corazón
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Il existe, dans les landes Le château des Quatre-Vents Et la fort belle légende Pour les petits et les grands... Il paraît, quand minuit sonne On entend dans les couloirs Les bruits de pas qui résonnent Et des sanglots dans le noir J'ai voulu savoir la cause De tous ces morts sans repos On m'a raconté des choses Qui m'ont fait froid dans le dos... Dès que minuit a sonné Le bois se met à craquer Le vent sanglote au dehors Le chiens hurlent à la mort Alors, parmi tous ces bruits Une plainte monte, monte... Une plainte qui raconte l'histoire d'amour qui suit
Il y avait 'y a longtemps Que s'aimaient deux amants Ne vivant que pour lui Respirant que pour elle Là, dans ce même lit Oh Dieu, qu'elle était belle... Mais on ne voulut pas de moi Je n'étais pas le fils d'un roi On fit tout pour m'éloigner d'elle Jamais n'ai pu revoir ma belle À la fin d'un beau jour Elle est morte d'amour Dieu n'a jamais permis De supprimer sa vie Elle est morte pour moi Moi, je suis mort pour elle Il ne le fallait pas, il ne fallait pas C'est en vain que j'appelle Chaque nuit, je l'entends pleurer Seule dans son éternité Christine, Christine... je t'aime Christine, Christine... je t'aime Mais elle ne m'entend pas Et je ne la vois pas Christine!... Christine!... Christine!!!
Et l'irréel disparaît Aussitôt que l'aube apparaît Est-ce un rêve, ou la réalité? Là, ma légende est terminée...

The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer Composer(s): Johnny Cash - June Carter Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash; The Carter Family
John Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight He said 'fore the sheriff comes I want to tell you Listen boy he said, learn to ball a jack learn to lay a track Learn to pick and shovel too and take my hammer It'll do anything you tell it to
John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies John Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen times The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money He said I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrow That's pay for a steel driver on this line
Then the section foreman said hey hammer swinger I see you brought your own hammer boy But what else can all them muscles do And he said I can turn a jack, I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too (can you swing a hammer boy) Yes, well I'll do anything you hire me to
(Now ain't you something so high and mighty with your muscles Just go ahead boy and pick up that hammer pick up that hammer) He said get a rusty spike and swing it down three times I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to Go on and do what you say you can do
With a steep nased hammer on a four foot switch handle John Henry raised his back till it touched his heels And the spike went thru the crosstie and split it half in two 35 cents a day for driving steel (Swing, swing it boy swing you owe me two more swings) I was born for drivin' steel
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain He'd give a grunt and give a groan with every swing The women folks from miles around heard him and come down To watch him make cold steel ring Lord what a swinger, just listen to the cold steel ring
But the bad boss come up laughing at John Henry Said you full of vinegar now but you 'bout through We're gonna get a steam drill to do your share of drivin' And what's all them muscles gonna do, ha John Henry Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you
John Henry said I feed four little brothers And baby sister's walking on her knees Did the Lord say that machines oughta take the place of living And what's a substitute for bread and beans, I ain't seen it Do engines get rewared for their steam
John Henry hid in a coalmine for his dinner nap Had thirty minutes to rest before the bell The mine boss hollered get up whoever you are and get a pick-ake Give me enough coal to start another hell And keep it burning, mine me enough to start another hell
John Henry said to his Captain a man ain't nothin' but a man But if you bring that steam drill round And I'll beat it fair and honest I'll die with my hammer in my hand, but I'll be laughing 4ause you can't replace a steel drivin' man
There was a big crowd of people at the mountain John Henry said to the steam drill how is you Pardon me Mr Steam Drill, I suppose you didn't hear me I said how I are you ha Well can you turn a jack, can you lay a track can you pick and shovel too Listen this hammer swinger's talkin' to you
Two thousand people hollered (go John Henry) Then somebody hollered (the mountain's cawing in) John Henry told the Captain tell the kind folks don't worry It ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind, it keeps me breathing This steel driver's muscle, I ain't tin
Captain tell the people move back further I'm at the finish line and there ain't no drill It's so far behind and yet it ain't got the brains to quiet it When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord Lord When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills
Well John Henry had a little woman I believe the lady's name was Polly Ann Yes that was his good woman John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on home He lay down to rest his weary back and early next morning he said Come here Polly Ann come here sugar You know I believe this is the first time I ever watched the sun come up that I couldn't come up Take my hammer Polly Ann and go to that railroad Swing that hammer like you seen me do it And when you're swinging with the lead man they'll know They'll know you're John Henry's woman But tell them that ain't all you can do tell them I can hoist a jack, I can lay a track, I can pick and shovel too Ain't no machine can, that's been proved to you
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house The section hands laid him in the sand Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid They slow down and take off the hats the men do When you've come to the place where John Henry's layin' restin' his back Some of 'em say morning streel driver, you sure was a hammer swinger Then they go by pickin' up a little speed Clickety-clack clickety-clak clickety-clack clickety-clak (Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord, yonder lies a steel drivin' man Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord, yonder lies a steel drivin' man)

The Legend Of Alcatraz Composer(s): Tom Fogerty Performer(s): Tom Fogerty and multiple other artists
In the days of 1890 lived an Indian boy, I'm told He sat upon the rock to prophecy And he spoke of golden bridges And a black cloud up above And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky
And he went down to the valley And he went down through the trees And he went down to the people Telling everyone he'd meet But no would would believe him No one would believe him
In the year of 1970 lived an Indian boy, I'm told He sat upon the rock to criticize And he saw the golden bridge And the black cloud up above And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky
And he went down to the valley And he went down through the trees And he went down to the people Telling everyone he'd meet But no would would believe him No one would believe him
No one would believe him No one would believe him Why don't you tell me who is the winner Tell me who is the winner ...
