Quiero Apurar Cada Grano De Arena Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Quiero apurar cada grano de arena y el aire exacto que vaya quedando para que deje de ser una espera muda cadena de sueño y engaño carne de prisa, demora la grieta frágil del tiempo pasando, pasando
Quiero vivir esa breve comedia bajo el latido del último acto ruido de brasas sentir en las venas frías de tanto morir cotidiano quieto camino de huella reseca deja que queme el andar en el paso
Quiero beber de un golpe la fuerza tenue que apenas me sigue empujando y alimentar olvidadas quimeras nubes dormidas, juguetes primarios oso de trapo, levántate y peca desde tu polvo curado de espantos
She Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Ethridge First release by: Gram Parsons - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
She ... She came from the land of the cotton A land that was nearly forgotten By everyone And she ... She worked and she slaved so hard A big ol' field was her backyard In the delta sun Oh, but she sure could sing Yes, yes She sure could sing
Then he ... Looked down and he took a little pity The whole town swore he decided He help her some And he Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one Oh, but she sure could sing My, my she sure could sing She had faith and she had believin' She led all the people together in singin' And she prayed very night To the Lord up above Singin' hallelujah Oh, hallelujah
They ... Would walk singin' songs by the river Even when she knew for sure She had to go away And she Never knew what her life had to give her And never had to worry about it For one single day Oh, but she sure could sing Yes, yes she sure could sing
Quiero Cantarte Un Beso Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Quiero cantarte un beso mas todo se confunde entre un millón de huesos y derrumbes Así que el beso huye con ojos de reproche mientras la sangre fluye por las noches
La muerte se ha regado por toda la pradera A aquel que la ha sembrado ¿qué le espera? Dicen que el responsable nunca ha gastado cuernos sino un traje impecable en los infiernos
Y vuelve la necesidad de repasarme dónde estoy si existe o no la humanidad y si se ha visto hoy
La esfera agonizando todos los días explota y nadie está mirando que está rota Treinta y cinco mil niños mataron ese día La tele no hizo un guiño todavía
Y vuelve la necesidad de repasarme dónde estoy si existe o no la humanidad y si se ha visto hoy
Grandes ilusionistas con hazañas de alarde
dicen que son altruistas los cobardes. Mientras el poderoso más ordena y más traga y el pequeño ripioso siempre paga
Y vuelve la necesidad de repasarme dónde estoy si existe o no la humanidad y si se ha visto hoy
Creí que nadie estaba que nada respondía pero el amor velaba todavía Y el viejo centinela en medio del desierto prendió infinitas velas por los muertos

She May be the face I can't forget A trace of pleasure I regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She may be the song that Solomon sings May be the chill that autumn brings My be a hundred tearful things Within the measure of the day
She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dream A smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside, a shell
She Who always seems so happy to crow Whose eyes can be so private and so proud No one' s allowed to see them when they cry She may be the love that can and hope to last May come to me from shadows of the past That I remember till the day I die
She May be the reason I survive The why and where for I'm alive The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years Me I'll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I got to be The meaning of my life is

Mi madre lloraba y mi madre reia Y el tiempo pasaba y ella envejecia Cogido a sus faldas aprendi a quererla Pero ella lloraba su cama vacia No tuve mas padre que un simple apellido Y fue mi madre, padre y madre, todo sola Y luego triste en su cama sentada, mi madre cantaba
Yo quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amigo Quiero una vida De la que no pueda avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero De todo el barrio que quiere espiarme Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa De la que no tenga que ocultarme
Tal vez ahora es tarde para comprenderla Pero me doy cuenta, no debi acusarte No supe entender que te sintieras sola En las noches frias al ir a acostarte Perdona, perdona Tu cancion es buena, es limpia y la debi cantar contigo
Yo quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amigo Quiero una vida De la que no deba avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa De la que no pueda ocultarme De la que no deba avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme Quiero un amor para no ocultarme Que quiero un amante Yo quiero un amante Necesito un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amor Quiero una vida

Lei il viso che non scorderai Lorgoglio ed il coraggio lei Come un tesoro loro dentro gli occhi suoi Lei l'estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che può insegnarti solo lei
lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che che non perderai lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei, uguale a lei
Lei l'estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che può insegnarti solo lei
lei regala i suoi sorrisi senza mai svelare al mondo quando non ne ha privando il suo dolore libertà lei forse è l'amore che non ha pietà che ti arricchisce con la povertà di un gesto semplice che eternità
lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che che non perderai lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei esattamente come lei lei....lei.....lei.....
Quiero Vivir Contigo Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Quiero vivir contigo como vive el planeta en la esfera y la luna en el mar como el destino en el camino y así siendo distintos en la misma identidad seré el deseo tuyo dentro de mi voluntad, quiero vivir quiero vivir contigo Quiero vivir contigo como vive la llama en el centro de la claridad como en el texto vive el pretexto así yo quiero ser palabra en tu conversación como la voz es música cuando se hace canción quiero vivir quiero vivir contigo quiero vivir contigo como vive el todo la nada y el bien en el mal como el espejo en su reflejo así ya quiero ser la luz de tu contradicción y verme como imagen de tu propia reflexión quiero vivir quiero vivir contigo

Titles In Other Languages: 1974 - She 1987 - Waar Ik Voor Leef
Lei, forse sara' la prima che Io non potro' dimenticar La mia fortuna o il prezzo che, dovro' pagar Lei, la canzone nata qui Che ha gia' cantato chissa' chi L'aria d'estate che ora c'e' Nel primo autunno su di me.. Lei, la schiavitu' la liberta' Il dubbio la serenita' Preludio a giorni luminosi oppure bui Lei, sara' lo specchio dove io Riflettero' progetti e idee Il fine ultimo che avro', da ora in poi
Lei, cosi' importante cosi' unica Dopo la lunga solitudine Intransigente e imprevedibile Lei, forse l'amore troppo atteso che Dall'ombra del passato torna a me Per starmi accanto fino a che vivro' Lei, a cui io non rinuncerei Sopravvivendo accanto a lei Ad anni, combattuti ed avversita' Lei, sorrisi e lacrime da cui Prendono forma i sogni miei Ovunque vada arriverei A passo a passo accanto a lei Lei, lei, lei
Quiet Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Christine Collister
I am heading for a time of quiet When my restlessness is past And I can lie down on my blanket And release my fists at last
I am heading for a time of solitude Of peace without illusions When the perfect circle Marries all beginnings and conclusions
And when they say That you're not good enough Well the answer is You're not But who are they Or what is it That eats at what you've got With the hunger of ambition For the change inside the purse They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends Handcuffs on the soul And worse
I am heading for a place of quiet Where the sage and sweetgrass grow By a lake of sacred water From the mountain's melted snow

Toi, par tes mille et un attraits Je ne sais jamais qui tu es Tu changes si souvent de visage et d'aspect Toi quelque soit ton âge et ton nom Tu es un ange ou le démon Quand pour moi tu prends tour à tour Tous les visages de l'amour
Toi, si Dieu ne t'avait modelé Il m'aurait fallu te créer Pour donner à ma vie sa raison d'exister Toi qui est ma joie et mon tourment Tantôt femme et tantôt enfant Tu offres à mon cur chaque jour Tous les visages de l'amour
Moi, je suis le feu qui grandit ou qui meure Je suis le vent qui rugit ou qui pleure Je suis la force ou la faiblesse Moi, je pourrais défier le ciel et l'enfer Je pourrais dompter la terre et la mer Et réinventer la jeunesse
Toi, viens fais moi ce que tu veux Un homme heureux ou malheureux Un mot de toi je suis poussière ou je suis Dieu Toi, sois mon espoir, sois mon destin J'ai si peur de mes lendemains Montre à mon âme sans secours Tous les visages de l'amour Toi! tous les visages de l'amour
Quiet Life Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): Ray Davies
Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye. If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies Can't communicate with minds that are small With some people it's like talkin' to the wall And a fellow who walks away lives to battle another day And I've really got no appetite for a fight Not tonight
All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life No ambition to rock the boat When I can just stay afloat
Be content with a quiet life All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all
I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind Than aggravation every time I speak my mind Keep schtum and have a quiet life Anything for a quiet life
I could easily blow my top Start a row But why start now?
Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life
(instrumental section)
Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all

Quiet Love French Title: Mon Émouvant Amour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli
Charles: Tu vis dans un silence éternel et muet Je traduis tes regards et lis dans tes sourires Interprétant les mots que tes mains veulent dire Dans ton language étrange qui semble être un ballet
Un émouvant ballet que tu règles pour moi De gestes fascinants qui sont jamais les mêmes Et quand du bout des doigts tu murmures je t'aime J'ai l'impression parfois comme entendre ta voix
Liza: You see, my lover makes no sound His language is his hands I watch his fingers dance and try to understand I try to understand his elegant ballet In my heart I can hear the words he longs to say
And so I've learned to speak a language he can hear To tell him how I feel whenever he his near He lives around the block, it's just a little walk We'll meet tonight at eight At eight tonight, we'll talk
Oh my love, oh my love Quiet love, quiet love I am calm whenever you are near And somehow I can hear what your heart wants to say
Both: Comme pour te parler I have a small surprise Je manquais de moyens To spring on you tonight Me trouvant près de toi I'm learning how to sign Comme en terre étrangère Please God I get it right Ne pouvant me servir It's something that you do D'aucun vocabulaire With confidence and ease À mon tour j'ai appris I'm clumsier than you Le langage des mains This might come out Chinese Tu ris un peu de moi But come and fill my heart Quand tu vois mes efforts Its never danced this way Car je suis maladroit I'm nervous and it's hard Et fais souvent des gaffes I have so much to say Je n'ai jamais été I've always been afraid Très fort en orthographe My dream seemed so unreal Mais j'ai tant à te dire But now I bless this world Et je t'aime si fort For how you make me feel
Mon amour Oh, my love Mon amour Oh, my love Mon amour You are shy Mon amour So am I Mon amour But if you would tell me that it's true Mon émouvant amour You feel the way I do Mon merveilleux amour Then tomorrow can start Mon déchirant amour As we are, together we'll grow old Mon amour, mon émouvant amour For wise men always say Mon merveilleux amour That in silence Mon déchirant amour There's gold

Quiet nights and quiet stars Quiet chords from my guitar Floating on the silence that surrounds us Quiet nights and quiet dreams Quiet walks by quiet streams And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely This is where to be Here with you so close to me Till the final flicker of life's ember I who was lost and lonely Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love This is where to be Here with you so close to me Till the final flicker of life's ember I who was lost and lonely Believing life was a only a tragic joke Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

Quiet Storm Composer(s): Rose Ella Jones; Smokey Robinson) Performer(s): Smokey Robinson; CrossTown; Johnny Hammond; Chip Shelton; Gerald Veasley; Mobb Deep
Soft & warm, a quiet storm Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn A power source of tender force Generatin', radiatin', turn me on, turn me on Ah you short-circuit all my nerves Promisin' electric things You touch me & suddenly there's rainbow rings Quiet storm blowin' through my life, uh huh Quiet storm blowin' through my life, ah Blow, baby
A windy sigh, weak am I Butterfly caught up in the hurricane, hurricane Lucky me, I'm barely free Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain Ah shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons Let it pour & never stop Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life You're just like a Quiet storm blowin' through my life
(instrumental)
Ah shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons Let it pour & never stop Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life You're just like a Quiet storm blowin' through my life Blow, baby
