The Charm Of You Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys With little girls and boys when first they see the tree The thrill of you is comparable to the thrill I felt when I first learned the heart could sigh And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have never met I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get, and So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do Because they add up to the charm of you
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do Because they add up to the charm of you
Cantar, Cantar, Cantar Composer(s): J. Ordaz Aguilera Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
¡Qué bueno ha sido regresar a la cosecha después que el tiempo mejoró las madrugadas! ¡Qué bueno ha sido el despertar sobre la almohada que soñé cuando el amor y la canción nos esperaban Hay que cantarle un homenaje a la sonrisa de aquel ancestro soñador que, en la garganta dejó su pétalo mejor para que hiciera florecer, alguna vez el corazón y la esperanza
Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz
Cuando sabe a realidad la maravilla de aventurarse a ser canción y a ser guitarra late la prisa por amar y el corazón se vuelve un mágico volcán que arranca el grito de esperanza Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz

Cantando No Toro Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar o tom Quase rodando, caindo de boca A voz é rouca mas o mote é bom Sambando na lama e causando frisson
Mas olha só Um samba de cócoras em terra de sapo Sapateando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar lição Quase rodando, caindo de boca Mas com um pouco de imaginação Sambando na lama sem tocar o chão
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem fazer fé Quase rodando, caindo de boca Aba de touca, jura de mulher Sambando na lama e passando o boné
Mas olha só Por fora filó, filó Por dentro, molambo Cambaleando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar o que tem e o que não tem Tocando a bola no segundo tempo Atrás de tempo, sempre tempo vem Sambando na lama, amigo, e tudo bem
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que estar feliz Sambando na lama de salvando o verniz
Mas olha só Em terra de sapo, sambando de cócoras Sapateando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que estar tranchã Sambando na lama, amigo, até amanhã
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé

The Chamber Of 32 Doors Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks Performer(s): Genesis
At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people running around to all the doors They try to find themselves an audience their deductions need applause
The rich man stands in front of me The poor man behind my back They believe they can control the game but the juggler holds another pack
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can He'll smile through his guard Survival trains hard I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands He looks at you once, you know he understands Don't need any shield When you're out in the field
But down here I'm so alone with my fear With everything that I hear And every single door, that I've walked through Brings me back here again I've got to find my own way
The priest and the magician Singing all the chants that they have ever heard They're all calling out my name Even academics, searching printed word
My father to the left of me My mother to the right Like everyone else they'er pointing But nowhere feels quite right
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound If I chose a side He won't take me for a ride
Back inside This chamber of so many doors I've nowhere to hide I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me Find a door That doesn't lead me back again - take me away

Fingerprint File Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Fingerprint file, you get me down You keep me running Know my way around Yes, you do, child Fingerprint file, you bring me down Keep me running You keep me on the ground Know my moves Way ahead of time Listening to me On your satellite
Feeling followed Feeling tagged Crossing water Trying to wipe my tracks
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
You better watch out On your telephone Wrong number They know you ain't home
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
Who's the man on the corner; that corner over there I don't know Well, you better lay low Watch out
Keep on the look out Electric eyes Rats on the sell out Who gonna testify You know my habits Way a head of time Listening to me On your satellite
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down It gets me down
Hello, baby, mm-hmm Ah, yeah, you know we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone Who's listening? Well I don't really know But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight 'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy Shoot first, that' s right... you know Bye bye Right now somebody is listening to...... you Keeping their eyes peeled...... on you Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay All right Good night, sleep tight

Listen to the wind blow Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies
And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain
List to the wind blow Down comes the night
Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies
Break the silence Damn the dark Damn the light
And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain
Canta Ragazzina
Composer(s): Labati Donida - Iller Pattacini - Claudio Pepperdrini
Performer(s): Bobby Solo; Connie Francis; Mina
Tu sei come me quando ero un bambino sei bella e non sai tutto quello che hai
Canta ragazzina che il giorno dura solo poche ore e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu
Canta ragazzina e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore Ed alla fine resti solo tu non fare come me non fare come me che oramai non vivo più
Un giorno vale una anno e la vita vale un attimo ti svegli un mattino e ti trovi già donna
Canta ragazzina che il giorno dura solo poche ore e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu
Canta ragazzina e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore Ed alla fine resti solo tu non fare come me non fare come me che oramai non vivo più

Yes, we take each other Forsaking all others Together, till death do us part

Finestra Chiusa Composer(s): Renee Bracchi; D'Anzi Performer(s): Carlo Buti
Perchè mhai fatto piangere? Perché non mami più? Lo so che le mie lacrime ti fan sorridere, lhai detto tu Perché tu non vuoi credere che non so vivere lontan da te?
Finestra chiusa al mio cuore innamorato Questa notte son tornato per restar vicino a te Finestra chiusa senza luce e senza amor Se fai piangere il muio cuor tu non hai pietà di me
Ritorna ancora! Ma tu non mi ascolti più Ritorna ancora senza te non vivo più! Finestra chiusa forse un vento di follia si portò la donna mia e non la vedrò mai più
Lo so ti debbo perdere lo so ma nel mio cuor lamor non posso uccidere mi devi credere, non so mentir Così non posso vivere e debbo piangere per non morir
The Cat Crept In Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn Performer(s): Mud
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes When she starts moving you sure can tell When she starts shaking she's raising hell I said hey you guys, look who's waiting ouside
You remember how she left that floor on a Saturday night The cat's footloose and she darned near started a fight Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
I said hey you guys, can you hear that alley cat cry She aint superstitious but she's hanging on to life number nine Well you may not show it but she hides in the light And she may not show it but this cat can bite I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Okay, let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again...

Canta gallito canta gallo compañero ¡Los gallos que no son gallos andan por el gallinero! Gallito de la montaña gallito de monte y río que no se callen los gallos que canten el canto mío
Fine On My Mind Composer(s): Jerry Reed Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time Fine on my mind all the time I never met a woman quite like you And all the sweet things you do
Stay fine on my mind all the time
My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind You'll lose your appetite and won't be able to sleep at night For thinkin' bout some woman all the time
Well girl you're fine...
Well if papa could just see me Lord I know how tickled he'd be To know some woman got me talkin' to myself And it's been like this since it came first time we kissed I can't seem to think about nothin' else
Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice He said, "Leave the kitty here She can help me with the mice"
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West He would take the cat along as a special honored guest The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Can't You Take It Back And Change It For A Boy
Composer(s): Thurland - Chattaway
Performer(s): Rex Allen
From the nursery creepin', a little boy came peepin' Shyly peepin' through a golden curl At a tiny bundle, such a funny bundle Was a tiny, little baby girl Came to town that mornin', as the day was dawnin' Mother thought t'would fill his heart with joy But he shook his little head and to his Mammy said Gee I wish that you had bought a boy
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me For it ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
Now ain't it awful funny? Did it cost much money? Won't it be an awful lot of care It t'ain't a good one Mother, you'll have to get another Can't you see it hasn't any hair Don't its teeth come with it? Will its nose grow, will it? Don't it make an awful lot of noise Take it back today, take it right away And buy one where they only sell just boys
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me It ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
