    Manos Vacias
    Composer(s): Luis Bolin; E. Cid
    Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



    Hoy a vuelto a darme por pensar
    que el diablo vino a hablar
    hoy mi alma no es tan cara
    en las calles de esta ciudad
    no te pares a buscar
    los secretos de las despedidas

    No pensarias que iba a marcharme
    con las manos vacias por ti?
    No pensarias que iba a marcharme
    con las manos vacias por ti?
    No me acostumbro a perder
    pero juego por placer
    y es el juego el que me da la vida

    Puede que me canse del alcohol
    y que esta noche salga el sol
    pero quien lo necesita

    nunca sopla el viento a favor
    cuando se trata del amor
    y pretendes ir de prisa

    No pensarias que iba a marcharme
    con las manos vacias por ti?
    No pensarias que iba a marcharme
    con las manos vacias por ti?
    No me acostumbro a perder
    pero juego por placer
    y es el juego el que me da la vida
    No me acostumbro a perder
    pero juego por placer
    y es el juego, si... me da la vida

    Con las manos vacias por ti.....

    200 Years Old
    Composer(s): Frank Zappa
    Performer(s): Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart



    I was sittin' in a breakfast room in Allentown Pennsylvania,
    six o'clock in the morning, got up to early, it was a terrible
    mistake... sittin' there face-to-face with a 75 cent glass of
    orange juice about as big as my finger and a bowl of horribly
    foreshortened cornflakes, and I said to myself: "This is the
    life!"...

    She's 200 years old
    so mean, she couldn't grow no lips
    Boy, she'd be in trouble if she tried to grow a mustache

    She's two hundred years old
    Squattin' down & pockin' up
    In front of the juke box
    just like she had True Religion.. BOY!

    She's two hundred years old
    Hoy!, hoy!, in 200 years
    half of this, none of that
    one.. fifty.. oh squattin'
    Yeah-ah, ain't she got
    Oohhh, she got religion now, boy

    Oohhhh, ?? ?? ??
    Oohhhh, she's just mean
    she just, she just can't grow no lips
    Squat.. down, so mean she can't grow no lips
    200 years old, so mean she can't grow no lips

    2000 Ans Et Un Jour
    Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Michel Fugain
    Performer(s): Michel Fugain



    2000 ans et un jour
    On fait le bilan, il est lourd
    Sans perdre de temps, ça repart pour un tour
    Faut pas se miner, s'faire de bile
    Car, pour les années, paraît-il
    Ce sont toujours les premières deux mille les plus difficiles

    2000 ans et deux jours
    On rase les cons et les tours
    On voit mieux les gens, les couleurs, les contours
    On passe du venin au velours
    Et on rend la main à l'amour
    Et on voit que c'est bon, que c'est beau et on est plutôt pour

    C'est peut-être la dernière chance
    On n'a plus le droit de se planter

    2000 ans et trois jours
    On chasse le smog et, bonjour
    Il y a de nouveau du soleil dans la cour
    On met de l'ozone tout autour
    Et puis après, on fait l'amour
    Et ça va de mieux en mieux et on est de plus en plus pour

    2000 ans, quatre jours
    Fini Marignan, Pearl Harbour
    On jette les flingues et le fric n'a plus cours
    On a fait la peau aux tambours
    L'humeur de l'humain, c'est l'humour
    Et n'importe quand, n'importe où, n'importe qui fait l'amour

    C'est peut-être la dernière chance
    On n'a plus le droit de se planter

    2000 ans et cinq jours
    Y a tant de boulot à la bourre
    Qu'il y en aura bien pour tout l'monde, pour toujours
    Mais, du sixième au septième jour
    On baille et on bulle, on savoure
    Ce monde nouveau, pourvu qu'il dure un peu plus de huit jours

    Mano A Mano
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Meu pára-choque com seu pára-choque
    Era um toque
    Era um pó que era um só
    Eu e meu irmão
    Era porreta
    Carreta parelha a carreta
    Dançando na reta
    Meu irmão
    Na beira de estrada valeu
    O que era dele era meu
    Eu era ele
    Ele era eu

    Ela era estrela
    Era flor do sertão
    Era pérola d'oeste
    Era consolação
    Era amor na boléia
    Eram cem caminhões
    Mas ela era nova
    Viçosa, matriz
    Era diamantina
    Era imperatriz
    Era só uma menina
    De três corações
    E então

    Atravessando a garganta
    Jamanta fechando jamanta
    Na curva crucial
    Era uma barra, era engano
    Na certa, era cano
    Na mão, mano a mano
    Pau a pau
    Na beira de estrada se deu
    Se o que era dele era meu
    Ou era ele ou era eu

    Ela era estrela
    Era flor do sertão
    Era pérola d'oeste
    Era consolação
    Era amor na boléia
    Eram cem caminhões
    Mas ela era nova
    Viçosa, matriz
    Era diamantina
    Era imperatriz
    Era só uma menina
    De três corações
    E então

    Então lavei as mãos
    Do sangue do
    Meu sangue do
    Meu sangue irmão
    Chão

    2000 Light Years From Home
    Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
    Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



    Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
    We're setting off with soft explosion
    Bound for a star with fiery oceans
    It's so very lonely, you're a hundred
    light years from home

    Freezing red deserts turn to dark
    Energy here in every part
    It's so very lonely, you're six hundred
    light years from home

    It's so very lonely, you're a thousand
    light years from home
    It's so very lonely, you're a thousand
    light years from home

    Bell flight fourteen you now can land
    See you on Aldebaran
    Safe on the green desert sand
    It's so very lonely, you're two thousand
    light years from home
    It's so very lonely, you're two thousand
    light years from home

    Mano A Mano
    Composer(s): Esteban Celedonio Flores
    Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



    Rechiflao en mis tristeza
    te evoco y veo que has sido
    en mi pobre vida paria
    sólo una buena mujer
    tu presencia de bacana
    puso calor en mi nido
    fuiste buena, consecuente
    y yo sé que me has querido
    como no quisiste a nadie
    como no podrás querer

    Se dio el juego de remanye
    cuando vos, pobre percanta
    gambeteabas la pobreza
    en la casa de pensión
    hoy sos toda una bacana
    la vida te ríe y canta
    los morlacos del otario
    los tirás a la marchanta
    como juega el gato maula
    con el mísero ratón

    Hoy tenés el mate lleno
    de infelices ilusiones
    te engrupieron lo otarios
    las amigas, el gavión
    La milonga entre magnates
    con sus locas tentaciones
    donde triunfan y claudican
    milongueras pretensiones
    se te ha entrado muy adentro
    en el pobre corazón

    Nada debo agradecerte
    mano a mano hemos quedado
    no me importa lo que has hecho
    lo que hacés y lo que harás
    Los favores recibidos
    creo habértelos pagado
    y si una deuda chica
    sin querer se me ha olvidado
    en la cuenta del otario
    que tenés, se la cargás

    Mientras tanto que tus triunfos
    pobres triunfos pasajeros
    sean una larga fila
    de riquezas y placer
    que el bacán que te acamala
    tenga pesos duraderos
    que te abrace en las paradas
    con cafichos milongueros
    y que digan los muchachos
    "¡es una buena mujer!"

    Y mañana, cuando seas
    descolado un mueble viejo
    y no tengas esperanza
    en el pobre corazón
    si precisás una ayuda
    si te hace falta un consejo
    acordate de este amigo
    que ha de jugarse el pellejo
    pa' ayudarte en lo que pueda
    cuando llegue la ocasión

    Well, my name is a number
    A piece of plastic film
    And I'm growin' funny flowers
    In my little window sill

    Dont you know I'm a 2000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

    Well my wife still respects me
    I really misused her
    I am having an affair
    With the random computer

    Don't you know I'm a 2000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy, proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy. proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin'
    Like it did when you were young
    Or do you come down crashin'
    Seeing all the things you'd done
    All was a big put on

    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy. proud of your son
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy. proud of your sun

    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy. proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet
    Oh mummy. proud of your sun

    And you know who's the 2000 man
    And your kids they just won't understand you at all

    New Mayfair Orch.; Daryl Sherman



    Why is it that civilized humanity
    Can make the world so wrong?
    In this hurly-burly of insanity
    Our dreams cannot last long

    We've reached a deadline
    A press headline
    Every sorrow
    Blues value
    Is news value
    Tomorrow

    Blues
    Twentieth century blues
    Are getting me down
    Blues
    Escape those weary
    Twentieth century blues

    Why
    If there's a God in the sky
    Why shouldn't He grin
    High
    Above this dreary
    Twentieth century din?

    In this strange illusion
    Chaos and confusion
    People seem to lose their way
    What is there to strive for
    Love or keep alive for
    Say, 'Hey, hey!'
    Call it a day?

    Blues
    Nothing to win or to lose
    It's getting me down
    Blues
    Escape those weary
    Twentieth century blues

    We've reached a deadline

    Manners Maketh Man
    Composer(s): Jeremy Clyde
    Performer(s): Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde



    When I walked in that café
    You turned and looked my way
    You knew that you were being rude
    To point and to stare
    So why should I smile
    When you put me on trial
    And your daughter wants an autograph
    And you don't like my hair

    Perhaps you resent
    A life that was spent
    In hating an enemy
    That you've never seen
    You believed them when they said
    There's a red beneath your bed
    Am I a living symbol of your youth
    That might have been?

    Does it become clear
    As you see me sitting here
    So well behaved
    And not like you expect
    And now do you see
    That you were once like me
    But you missed out on a lot of things
    By being too correct

    You gave a loud guffaw
    As I walked in the door
    And you loudly said, "Hey look at that kid,
    Will ya look at that kid, will ya?"
    Then remembering your girl
    You said, "Hey kid, sign for Merle"
    Did you notice I was eating
    And you didn't have the manners to say please

    Se lembra da fogueira
    Se lembra dos balões
    Se lembra dos luares dos sertões
    A roupa no varal
    Feriado nacional
    E as estrelas salpicadas nas canções
    Se lembra quando toda modinha
    Falava de amor
    Pois nunca mais cantei, ó maninha
    Depois que ele chegou

    Se lembra da jaquiera
    A fruta no capim
    O sonho que você contou pra mim
    Os passos no porão
    Lembra da assombração
    E das almas com perfume de jasmim
    Se lembra do jardim, ó maninha
    Coberto de flor
    Pois hoje só dá erva daninha
    No chão que ele pisou

    Se lembra do futuro
    Que a gente combinou
    Eu era tão crinça e ainda sou
    Querendo acreditar
    Que o dia vai raiar
    Só porque uma cantiga anunciou
    Mas não me deixe assim, tão sozinho
    A me torturar
    Que um dia ele vai embora, maninha
    Pra nunca mais voltar

    20th Century Promised Land
    Composer(s): J. Kerr
    Performer(s): Simple Minds



    Stories came like the wind
    Joining every bridge in the wind
    Ringing out footsteps
    Calling out stell-heels
    I give voice
    I give breath
    Count out evenings and stars
    How fast can these things move on
    Taking roots back to yourself
    And the reason for fear was moving on
    And on
    Some time
    Great times
    Troubled time
    Fire for the times
    Ringing out footsteps
    Calling out steel-heels

    Promised land
    Great times in commotion
    Here come every day
    It only lasts an hour
    Unhappy the land that has no heroes
    No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes

    And the reason for fear was moving on
    The speed of light was moving on
    Don't cry
    Tears are only wasted waters
    Some say God her only loves the proud
    Be damned on luck
    But not dishearted
    Nothing to prove
    And nothing to present
    I give voice
    I give breath
    Catching winds in my hand
    My hand

    Some times
    Great times
    Catching wind in my hand
    My hand
    Some times
    Great times
    Troubled times
    Fire for the times
    Ringing out footsteps
    Calling out steel-heels

    Promised land
    Great times in commotion
    Here comes every dat
    It only lasts an hour
    Unhappy the land that has no heroes
    No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes

    I'll call you out
    I'll scream you out
    And I don't care if you're afraid
    When city sounds invade the air

    Catch the wind in their hands
    Promised land
    Catch the wind in their hands
    Promised lands
    Promised lands
    Promised lands
    Great times in commotion

    Manifiesto
    Composer(s): Víctor Jara
    Performer(s): Víctor Jara
    and various other artists



    Yo no canto por cantar
    ni por tener buena voz
    canto porque la guitarra
    tiene sentido y razón

    Tiene corazón de tierra
    y alas de palomita
    es como el agua bendita
    santigua glorias y penas

    Aquí se encajó mi canto
    como dijera Violeta
    guitarra trabajadora
    con olor a primavera

    Que no es guitarra de ricos
    ni cosa que se parezca
    mi canto es de los andamios
    para alcanzar las estrellas

    Que el canto tiene sentido
    cuando palpita en las venas
    del que morirá cantando
    las verdades verdaderas
    no las lisonjas fugaces
    ni las famas extranjeras
    sino el canto de una lonja
    hasta el fondo de la tierra

    Ahí donde llega todo
    y donde todo comienza
    canto que ha sido valiente
    siempre será canción nueva

    2112 Overture
    Composer(s): Geddy Lee
    Performer(s): Rush



    "I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon
    City and sky become one, merging into a single plane
    a vast sea of unbroken grey.
    The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky
    I used to think I had a pretty good life here
    just plugging into my machine for the day
    then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening

    "My friend Jon always said it was nicer here
    than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets
    We have had peace since 2062
    when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation
    The less fortunate gave us a few new moons
    I believed what I was told
    I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy
    Then I found something that changed it all..."

    I. Overture

    And the meek shall inherit the earth...

    II. Temples of Syrinx

    ... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city
    I have always been awed by them
    to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within!
    Our books, our music, our work and play
    are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."

    We've taken care of everything
    The words you hear, the songs you sing
    The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
    It's one for all and all for one
    We work together, common sons
    Never need to wonder how or why

    We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
    Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
    We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
    All the gifts of life are held within our walls

    Look around at this world we've made
    Equality our stock in trade
    Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
    Oh, what a nice, contented world
    Let the banners be unfurled
    Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

    We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
    Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
    We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
    All the gifts of life are held within our walls

    III. Discovery

    ... "Behind my beloved waterfall
    in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it
    I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up
    holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful" ...

    ... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires
    and to turn the keys to make them sound differently
    As I struck the wires with my other hand
    I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music!
    How different it could be from the music of the Temples!
    I can't wait to tell the priests about it! ..."

    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    See how it sings like a sad heart
    And joyously screams out its pain
    Sounds that build high like a mountain
    Or notes that fall gently like rain

    I can't wait to share this new wonder
    The people will all see its light
    Let them all make their own music
    The Priests praise my name on this night

    IV. Presentation

    ... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing
    I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces
    Father Brown rose to his feet
    and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall" ...

    ... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected
    they were words of quiet rejection!
    Instead of praise, sullen dismissal
    I watched in shock and horror
    as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."

    I know it's most unusual
    To come before you so
    But I've found an ancient miracle
    I thought that you should know
    Listen to my music
    And hear what it can do
    There's something here as strong as life
    I know that it will reach you

    Yes, we know, it's nothing new
    It's just a waste of time
    We have no need for ancient ways
    Our world is doing fine
    Another toy will help destroy
    The elder race of man
    Forget about your silly whim
    It doesn't fit the plan

    I can't believe you're saying
    These things just can't be true
    Our world could use this beauty
    Just think what we might do
    Listen to my music
    And hear what it can do
    There's something here as strong as life
    I know that it will reach you

    Don't annoy us further!
    We have our work to do.
    Just think about the average
    What use have they for you?
    Another toy will help destroy
    The elder race of man
    Forget about your silly whim
    It doesn't fit the Plan!

    V. Oracle: The Dream

    ... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me
    Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle
    as he stood at the summit of the staircase" ...

    ... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities
    and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world
    I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding
    as I saw a completely different way to life
    a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago
    I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things ..."

    I wandered home though the silent streets
    And fell into a fitful sleep
    Escape to realms beyond the night
    Dream can't you show me the light?

    I stand atop a spiral stair
    An oracle confronts me there
    He leads me on light years away
    Through astral nights, galactic days
    I see the works of gifted hands
    That grace this strange and wondrous land
    I see the hand of man arise
    With hungry mind and open eyes

    They left the planet long ago
    The elder race still learn and grow
    Their power grows with purpose strong
    To claim the home where they belong
    Home to tear the Temples down...
    Home to change!

    VI. Soliloquy

    ... "I have not left this cave for days now
    it has become my last refuge in my total despair
    I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now
    I can no longer live under the control of the Federation
    but there is no other place to go
    My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream
    and know peace at last"

    The sleep is still in my eyes
    The dream is still in my head
    I heave a sigh and sadly smile
    And lie a while in bed
    I wish that it might come to pass
    Not fade like all my dreams...

    Just think of what my life might be
    In a world like I have seen!
    I don't think I can carry on
    Carry on this cold and empty life

    My spirits are low in the depths of despair
    My lifeblood...
    ...spills over...

    VII. The Grand Finale
    Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
    Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
    Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
    We have assumed control
    We have assumed control
    We have assumed control

    Maniculitanteo
    Composer(s): Willy Chirino
    Performer(s): Willy Chirino



    Hay hombres que se las pasan
    Manoseando a las mujeres
    Yo no entiendo cómo pueden
    Disfrutar esos placeres
    Si bailan con una chica
    Buscan posición
    Con las manos sueltas
    Y en la confusión
    Entre todo el movimiento
    Y en el ajetreo
    Es el preciso momento ¿para qué?
    Maniculitanteo, aprovechan del meneo
    Maniculitanteo, eso yo no lo deseo
    Maniculitanteo, la fiesta está en su apogeo
    Maniculitanteo, ya me está dando mareo
    Hay hombres que se las pasan
    Manoseando a las mujeres
    Qué manera tan grosera
    La que tienen esos seres

    Buscan los lugares buenos
    Donde hay mucha gente
    Se van deslizando
    Como una serpiente
    Estudian el elemento
    Y hacen un sondeo
    Porque ya llegó el momento ¿para qué?

    Maniculitanteo, se aprovechan del meneo
    Maniculitanteo, ten cuidado con Doroteo
    Maniculitanteo, esto se está poniendo feo
    Maniculitanteo, se puede formar un peo'

    21st Century Man
    Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
    Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



    A penny in your pocket
    Suitcase in your hand
    They won't get you very far
    Now you're a 21st century man

    Fly across the city
    Rise above the land
    You can do 'most anything
    Now you're a 21st century man

    Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow (tomorrow)
    You still wander the fields of your sorrow
    What will it bring?

    One day you're a hero
    Next day you're a clown
    There's nothing that is in between
    Now you're a 21st century man

    You should be so happy
    You should be so glad
    So why are you so lonely
    You 21st century man?

    You stepped out of a dream
    Believing everything was gone
    Return with what you've learned
    They'll kiss the ground you walk upon

    Things ain't how you thought they were
    Nothing have you planned
    So pick up your penny and your suitcase
    You're not a 21st century man

    Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
    You still wander the fields of your sorrow (sorrow)
    Tomorrow, 21st century man
    21st century man
    21st century man…

    Manic Depression
    Originally performed by: Jimi Hendrix
    Performer(s): The Jimi Hendrix Experience



    Manic Depression's touching my soul
    I know what I want
    but I just don't know how to go about getting it

    Feeling, sweet feeling
    drops from my finger, fingers
    Manic Depression's captured my soul

    Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain
    you make love
    you break love
    it's-a all the same when it's...
    when it's over

    Music sweet music
    I wish I could caress, caress, caress
    Manic Depression's a frustrating mess
    Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' go on down

    Really ain't no use me hanging around
    Oh, I gotta see you

    Composer(s): Robert Fripp
    Performer(s): King Crimson



    Cat's foot iron claw
    Neuro-surgeons scream for more
    At paranoia's poison door
    Twenty first century schizoid man

    Blood rack barbed wire
    Polititians' funeral pyre
    Innocents raped with napalm fire
    Twenty first century schizoid man

    Death seed blind man's greed
    Poets' starving children bleed
    Nothing he's got he really needs
    Twenty first century schizoid man
