Mi Jaca Composer(s): R. Perelló; J. Mostazo Performer(s): Raphael
El tronío, la guapeza, la solera Y el embrujo de una noche Sevillana No lo cambio por la gracia cortijera Y el trapío de mi jaca jerezana A su grupa va lo mismo que una reina Con espuelas de diamantes a los pies Que luciera por corona y como peina Que luciera por corona y como peina La majeza del sombrero cordobés Mi jaca galopa y corta el viento Cuando pasa por el puerto Caminito de Jerez La quiero lo mismo que a esa gitana Que me está dando tormento Por culpita de un querer Mi jaca galopa y corta el viento Cuando pasa por el puerto Caminito de Jerez A la grupa de mi jaca jerezana Va meciéndose altanera y orgullosa Como mece el aire por mi ventana Los geranios, los claveles y las rosas
Only The Good Die Young Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; and various other artists
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well, will be the one
Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Ah but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done
Only the good die young That's what I said Only the good die young Only the good die young
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud Ah but that never hurt me once
So come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal I'll throw you a line That stained glass curtain you're hiding behind Never lets in the sun
Darlin only the good die young I tell you only the good die young Only the good die young
You get a nice white dress And a party on your confirmation You've got a brand new soul Mm and a cross of gold But Virginia they didn't give you Quite enough information You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners Than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young I tell you only the good die young Only the good die young
You said your mother told you All I could give you was a reputation Ah she never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Come out, come out, come out Virginia Don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well, will be the one You know that only the good die young Tell you baby You know that only the good die young
Mi Hermano Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Mi hermano es diferente a mí Mi hermano sé que es mejor que yo Es todo bondad, es todo dulzura Sus ojos se nublan si me ve llorar Mi hermano es diferente a mí Que él quisiera seguir Jugando como ayer Con aquel caballo de cartón Con aquel castillo de papel Pero yo no sé ya jugar Porque empecé a querer Y el amor me roba su amistad Este amor me apartará de él Mi hermano da todo por mi bien Mi hermano va siempre junto a mí Y cuando la paz termina en mi vida Él hace que ría y olvide mi mal Mi hermano, mi hermano Mi hermano sé que es mejor que yo
Only Sixteen Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Barbara Campbell Performer(s): Sam Cooke; and various other artists
She was only sixteen, only sixteen I loved her so But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing And do the little things That made my heart glow But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know
Why did I give my heart so fast It never will happen again But I was a mere lad of sixteen I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen With eyes that would glow But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know
(Then why did you give your heart so fast) Oh, it never will happen again (But you were a mere lad of sixteen) I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen With eyes that would glow But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know
Only People Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon
Only people know just how to talk to people Only people know just how to change the world Only people realize the power of people Well, a million heads are better than one So come on, get it on!

Mi Gran Amor Composer(s): Augusto Algueró; De León; Rafael Performer(s): Nino Bravo
Mi gran amor has sido tú aurora, cielo y paraíso de juventud mi gran amor si no es por ti mi vida vacía sin luz estaría
Mi gran amor (mi gran amor) quisiera ser (quisiera ser) mendigo, rey y centinela de tu querer poder soñar sin despertar que soy tu alegría de noche y de día y siempre tuyo vida mía
Mi gran amor te conocí pues siglos antes de encontrarnos te presentí mi corazón por tu pasión sin darme yo cuenta se ha vuelto canción
Ya soy feliz (ya soy feliz) mi gran amor (mi gran amor) y el árbol seco de mi vida ya tiene flor y se cantar al despertar que soy tu alegría de noche y de día y siempre tuyo vida mía
y siempre tuyo vida mía (mi gran amor has sido tú mi gran amor)
Only One Woman Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): Marbles; and various other artists
Ten little Indians Standing around I bet there are many So how would I know
As she was only one woman only one woman And I've got a picture of the woman I love Who sees my lovely face? Who sees my shame Nobody in the place Can tell me her name
'Cause she was only one woman only one woman And I've got a picture of the woman I love Ten little Indians Now there are none I bet there are many And her love still goes on
'Cause she was only one woman only one woman And I've got a picture of the woman I love Well she was only one woman only one woman And I've got a picture of the woman I love ...
Vengo a cantarle mi despedida pa'que te acuerdes de un pobre amor quiero dejarte toda mi vida estre las notas de esta canción
Si estás durmiendo baja tu sueño hasta que a tu alma llegue mi voz te está cantando quien fue tu dueño que en esta noche te dice adiós te está cantando quien fue tu dueño que en esta noche te dice adiós
Ultima vez que yo te canto porque m e voy quizás pa'siempre quiero dejar en ti mi tristeza para llevarme tu dicha en mí
Fue tu cariño como una hoguera que sabe Dios como se encendió fue mi castigo que te quisiera y es mi destino decirte adiós
La luna brilla cada vez menos como si el sol ya fuera a salir y yo te canto casi llorando como si ya me fuera a morir y yo te canto casi llorando como si ya me fuera a morir

Mi Casa Ha Sido Tomada Por Las Flores Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Pasa poco pero pasa, compadre Es difícil de ligar Y a ese güije que lo inventa, comadre lo debieran diputar Te despiertan los aromas perdidos los que olvida la ciudad y de pronto ves tu hogar invadido por la luminosidad
Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores Traigan copas, traigan vasos al derrame de colores Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores Vengan almas y retazos voy a repartir canciones
Flores fulgurantes y discretas timoratas y coquetas inmutables y sin paz Flores que rebosan las ventanas que se vierten y encaraman sobre toda la ciudad
Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores Traigan copas, traigan vasos al derrame de colores Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores Vengan almas y retazos voy a repartir canciones

Only love can make a memory Only love can make a moment last You were there And all the world was young And all its songs unsung And I remember you then When love was all All you were living for And how you gave that love to me
Only then I felt my heart was free I was part of you and you were all of me Warm were the days and the nights of those years Painted in colors to outshine the sun All of the words and the dreams and the tears Live in my remembrance
Only love can make a memory Only love can make that moment last Life was new There was a rage to live Each day a page to live And I remember you then When love was all All you were living for And how you gave that love to me
Only then I knew my heart was free I was part of you and you were all of me

Mi Buenos Aires Querido Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Mi Buenos Aires querido cuando yo te vuelva a ver no habrá más penas ni olvido
El farolito de la calle en que nací fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor bajo su quieta lucecita yo la vi a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver ciudad porteña de mi único querer oigo la queja de un bandoneón ¡dentro 'e mi pecho pide rienda el corazón!
Mi Buenos Aires, tierra florida donde mi vida terminaré bajo tu amparo no hay desengaños vuelan los años, se olvida el dolor en caravana los recuerdos pasan con una estela dulce de emoción ¡Quiero que sepas, que al evocarte se van las penas del corazón!
La ventanita de mi calle de arrabal donde sonríe una muchachita en flor quiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar En la cortada, más maleva, una canción, dice su ruego de coraje y de pasión una promesa, y un suspirar borró una lágrima de pena aquel cantar
Mi Buenos Aires querido cuando yo te vuelva a ver no habrá más penas ni olvido
Only Heaven Can Wait (For Love) Composer(s): Roberta Flack; Eric Mercury Performer(s): Roberta Flack
We know that its all over still we havent said goodbye Pretending life is wonderful, pretending you and I
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait Waiting for love wont make it happen Crying for love dont mean you care oh no Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended Nevers too late, only heaven can wait
In horoscopes, in true romance and Playboy magazine We lie in bed at night and search the pages for our dreams
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait And waiting for love wont make it happen Crying for love dont mean you care oh no Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended Evers too late, only heaven can wait
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Talking So weve been together too long, you and I There were the children, shared interests, creative interests, business interests our In-laws, and then just plain old bad habits Now things have changed Youve changed, Ive changed and its time to move on So, my sweet, you kept doubting that I would understand what you meant when you said you needed your space Well, I do understand I have some more reasons another purpose to my life and Im ready to take my own space we both deserve it something real
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever Heavens too late, only heaven can wait
Slowly .. Why do we stay together, we cant wait forever
Shangri La Composer(s): Peter de Wijn First performance by: Gerard Joling - 1988
Leven, liefde Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La
In een nacht van neon en de geur van schralend bier Staat daar een kamerscherm van rijstpapier De wereld is wat niemand eigenlijk In een jungle van beton voel
Wie kan leven zonder liefde Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La Wie kan leven zonder liefde Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La
Ja, leef maar op gevoel Je dagen zonder doel Tot morgen weer voorbij is Langs ieder flatgebouw Zie ik een bamboetouw Leven zonder liefde Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La
Ja, leef maar op gevoel Je dromen zonder doel Tot morgen weer voorbij is Leven, liefde Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri la
Mi Buen Amor Composer(s): L. Estéfano Performer(s): Gloria Estefan and various other artists
Hay amores que se esfuman con los años Hay amores que su llama sigue viva Los inciertos, que son rosa y son espina Y hay amores de los buenos, como tú Hay amores que se siembran y florecen Hay amores que terminan en sequía Los que traen desengaños en la vida Y hay amores de los buenos, como tú
Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio No pretendas que te olvide así, no más Que tu amor fue mar cuando sedienta Me arrimé a tu puerto a descansar Que tu amor, amor, sólo el que un día en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad
Hay amores que nos llevan al abismo Hay amores que jamás se nos olvidan Los que dan toda ternura y fantasía Son amores de los buenos, como tú
Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio No pretendas que sea poco mi penar que tu amor fue luz de pleno día cuando todo era oscuridad Que tu amor, amor sólo el que un día en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad
