You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me Composer(s): Jim Weatherly First release by: Danny Thomas - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
I've had my share of life's ups and downs But fate's been kind, the downs have been few I guess you could say that I've been lucky Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story For whatever reason there might be Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory 'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when times were hard But always somehow I made it, I made it through 'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story For whatever reason there might be Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory 'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
Canción De Cuna Costera
Composer(s): Ruben Manuel Martinez
Performer(s): Los Fronterizos
Noche calma sobre el rio sueño trabajo y querer ahi va el pescador curtido recogiendo el espinel Alla en el rancho la madre mece con tierna emoción una cunita de sauce entonando esta cancion Gurisito costero, duermase gurisito costero, duermase Si se duerme mi amor le dare chalañitas de ceibo collar de caracol collar de caracol El niño ya se ha dormido la luna salio a mirar hamacandose en las aguas por entre el camalotal La brisa juega y el canto parece que viene y va el eco oscuro se pierde por el rio Paraná Gurisito costero, duermase gurisito costero, duermase Duerma, duerma mi amor crecera junto al rio, mi cielo sera buen pescador sera buen pescador
Canción De Amor Para Francisca Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco; Bersuit Vergarabat
En una casa del barrio San Pedro Francisca muestra todo su cuerpo pone el dinero entre sus senos toma un vino negro y algunas ginebras
Viste de verde, viste de rosa y se desviste muy silenciosa
Los lunes que no trabaja Francisca con una canastita con flores y su hijita van a correr por el monte los caminos y los campos ella dice que los besos los gorriones y las flores los lunes tienen mas perfume Larala, larala, larara, laralala
En una habitación del fondo de la casa los hombres pasan, los hombres pasan Nadie le ofrece algún trabajo porque tienen miedo de quedarse sin ella Piel de canela, ojos de pasto cabellos largos y aliento a trigal
Los lunes que no trabaja Francisca con una canastita con flores y su hijita van a correr por el monte los caminos y los campos ella dice que los besos los gorriones y las flores los lunes tienen mas perfume Larala, larala, larara, laralala

Canción De Amor Mientras Tanto
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez
En medio de toda la gente yo voy a volarme la frente después prenderé un cigarrillo tal vez baile contigo hoy voy a salir a la calle y voy a incendiar tus ciudades no se lo que han hecho conmigo el menos permanezco vivo
Y marie no puede zafarse quedo encerrada en una cárcel y Danny solo piensa en Cristo por el quemo a sus cuatro hijos Canción de amor entre vos y yo canción de amor mientras tanto
Un loco juega con fantasmas mi barrio puede estar en calma santiago cruz a adivino violo las leyes del destino y Luca se dio por muerto por asco y por aburrimiento en Baires, en Londres o en Rusia todo es una pelea sucia Canción de amor entre vos y yo mientras tanto
Feed The Birds Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman Performer(s): Julie Andrews; and various other artists
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's The little old bird woman comes In her own special way to the people she calls "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs
Come feed the little birds, show them you care And you'll be glad if you do Their young ones are hungry Their nests are so bare All it takes is tuppence from you"
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag "Feed the birds," that's what she cries While overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles Look down as she sells her wares Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few Listen, listen, she's calling to you "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
The Best Of Times Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Styx
Tonight's the night we'll make history Honey you and I And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight)
I know you feel these are the worst of times I do believe it's true When people lock their doors, and hide inside Rumour has it it's the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world if the world just passed us by, baby I know I wouldn't have to cry
The best of times, are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find These are the best of times These are the best of times
The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times" I do believe it's true I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know You'd always be around
The best of times, are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find
(When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!)

The Best Of Times (George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish)

The best of times is now What's left of summer but a faded rose The best of times is now As for tomorrow, well, Who knows, who knows, who knows? So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times Is now, is now, is now
Now, not some forgotten yesterday Now, tomorrow is too far away So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times Is now, is now, is now
The best of times is now What's left of summer but a faded rose The best of times is now As for tomorrow, well, Who knows, who knows, who knows? So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times Is now, is now, is now

Canción Consumo Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Desde Santurce A Bilbao Blues Band
Rezan las leyes básicas de una curiosa estética que el hombre es una máquina consumidora intrépida Compre electrodomésticos dicen los nuevos místicos es el gran signo de éxito del "homo sapientísimo"
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Queda un último término lo del salario mínimo con el Madrid-Atlético y el juego quinielístico La corrida benéfica hoy televisan íntegra es la moderna técnica de crear alienígenas
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Este mensaje estúpido tan saturado en tópicos hay que venderlo al público como un jabón biológico así dispone el código mafioso-discográfico y así se explota al prójimo prójimo y primo práctico
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Federico Garcia Lorca Composer(s): Jean Ferrat; C.H. Vic Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Les guitares jouent des sérénades Que j'entends sonner comme un tocsin Mais jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade "Bien que j'en sache le chemin"
Dans ta voix Galopaient des cavaliers Et les gitans étonnés Levaient leurs yeux de bronze et d'or Si ta voix se brisa Voilà plus de vingt ans qu'elle résonne encore Federico García
Voilà plus de vingt ans, Camarades Que la nuit règne sur Grenade
Il n'y a plus de prince dans la ville Pour rêver tout haut Depuis le jour où la guardia civil T'a mis au cachot
Et ton sang tiède en quête de l'aurore S'apprête déjà J'entends monter par de longs corridors Le bruit de leurs pas
Et voici la porte grande ouverte On t'entraîne par les rues désertées Ah! Laissez-moi le temps de connaître Ce que ma mère m'a donné
Mais déjà Face au mur blanc de la nuit Tes yeux voient dans un éclair Les champs d'oliviers endormis Et ne se ferment pas Devant l'âcre lueur éclatant des fusils Federico García
Les lauriers ont pâli, Camarades Le jour se lève sur Grenade
Dure est la pierre et froide la campagne Garde les yeux clos De noirs taureaux font mugir la montagne Garde les yeux clos
Et vous Gitans, serrez bien vos compagnes Au creux des lits chauds Ton sang inonde la terre d'Espagne O Federico
Les guitares jouent des sérénades Dont les voix se brisent au matin Non, jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade "Bien que j'en sache le chemin"
Best Of My Love Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey - J.D. Souther First release by: Eagles - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Every night I'm lyin' in bed holdin' you close in my dreams thinkin' about all the things that we said and comin' apart at the seams We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places look at the way that we live Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love O-O- Sweet Darlino-Oh' You get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream it was a quiet night and I would be alright if I could go on sleeping
But every mornin' I wake up and worry what's gonna happen today You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slippin' away You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-OH Sweet Darlin' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you got it You get the best of my love...
Canción A Mi Padre Composer(s): Sacramento Ramirez Performer(s): Los Razos
A mi ser que más quiero en mi vida yo le quiero cantar mi canción A mi padre que me dió mi vida y diario el me da su bendición y le pide a mi Dios que me cuide dónde quiera que siempre yo voy
A ti padre te doy yo las gracias que me hiciste un hombre de bien con tu ejemplo y buenos consejos yo mi vida logré componer Hoy yo me siento de ti orgulloso y en los vicios no vulevo a caer
A mi madre ya no la tenemos Dios la quiso tener a su lado pero siento que allá en el cielo nos bendice a mi y a mis hermanos y a ti padre te manda la calma pa' que siempre estes a nustro lado
Hoy me siento un poquito triste por que un beso no te puedo dar 'toy tan lejos papá de la casa que hay momentos que quiero llorar yo quisiera tenerte a mi lado y en mis brazos poderte estrechar
Dios te pido que cuides mi padre porqué yo quiero volverlo a ver solo Tu puedes darme licencia de estar juntos de nuevo otra vez también quiero mirar mis hermanos y a mis hijos que son mi querer
Yo te pido mi padre querido que siempre me des tu bendición y le pidas a mi madrecita que me cuide 'onde quiera que voy que me guié por el mejor camino y me cuide de alguna traición
En la sombra de un rosal y escondida entre las ramas estaba la niña esperando mi llegada y la brisa del mar acrecentó su nostalgia y el canto de la cigarra le anunció que llegaba
Y en el vientre presintió que la semilla palpitaba y su fatiga se posó en el lecho de unas ramas y un jilguero le contó que la espera no es larga que cuando llega un hijo nace la esperanza
Y la espera se marchitó una mañana de Febrero y la savia se quedó en el fruto del madero y la niña comprendió que ya no tenía miedo y su vientre dio una flor y mi voz quedó en el viento
