Thunder Road
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
>From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win

Cuando Voy Al Trabajo
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Carmen Prieto



Cuando voy al trabajo
pienso en ti
por las calles del barrio
pienso en ti
cuando miro los rostros
tras el vidrio empañado
sin saber quienes son, donde van
Pienso en ti
mi vida, pienso en ti
En ti compañera de mis dias
y del porvenir
de las horas amargas
y la dicha de poder vivir
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Cuando el turno termina
y la tarde baja
estirando su sombra
por el tijeral
y al volver de la obra
discutiendo entre amigos
razonando cuestiones
de este tiempo y destino
pienso en ti
mi vida, pienso en ti
En ti compañera de mis dias
y del porvenir
de las horas amargas
y la dicha de poder vivir
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Cuando llego a la casa
estas ahi
y amarramos los sueños
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Pour lui faire l'amour
Tout droit n'est pas le chemin le plus court
Son corps se mérite
En respectant nos rites
Signaux et fétiches
Petits détails dont nos désirs s'entichent
Dites à la police
Que nous sommes des complices
Mon coeur se bat pour
L'envie de nous qu'elle a toujours
Mon coeur se bat pour
Faire son amour
Chaque instant
De sa vie m'attire
Je l'aime comme
Je respire

Pour lui faire l'amour
Souvent je dois inventer des détours
Doucement s'incitent
Deux corps d'accord tacite
J'adore quand elle triche
Bizarre‚ où parfois le plaisir se niche
Ainsi sa peau lisse
Répond à mon caprice
Mon coeur se bat pour
L'envie de nous qu'elle a toujours
Mon coeur se bat pour
Faire son amour
Chaque instant
De sa vie m'attire
Je l'aime comme
Je respire

Thunder Island
Composer(s): Jay Ferguson
Performer(s): Jay Ferguson



Sha, la, la, la, la, la, my lady

In the sun with your hair undone
Can you hear me now callin' your name from across the bay
A summer's day laughin' and a hidin'
Chasin' love out on Thunder Island

Hey, hey, hey, hey

She was the color of the indian summer
And we shared the hours without number
Until one day when the sky turned dark and the winds grew wild
Caught by the rain and blinded by the lightning
We rode the storm out there on Thunder Island

I held her close
until the storm passed
And we fell down laughing in the wet grass
Both our bodies drying in the sunshine
sweet sunshine

So
Sha, la, la, la, la, la my lady
In the sun with your dress undone
Now every mile away and every day
Cuts a little bit deeper
I'll remember the nights in the cool sand
Makin' love out on Thunder Island

Goodbye Thunder Island

Cuando Vivas Conmigo
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



De mis ojos está brotando llanto
a mis años estoy enamorado
Tengo el pelo completamente blanco
pero voy  a sacar juventud de mi pasado
Y te voy a enseñar a querer porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender cuando vivas conmigo

De mis labios está brotando sangre
mi derrota la tengo sepultada
Hoy me entrego entre tus brazos como en nadie
porque sé que mi amor sin tu amor no vale nada
Y te voy a enseñar a querer porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender cuando vivas conmigo

Je L'Aime À Mourir
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel;
and various other artists



Moi je n'étais rien
Et voilà qu'aujourd'hui
Je suis le gardien
Du sommeil de ses nuits
Je l'aime à mourir
Vous pouvez détruire
Tout ce qu'il vous plaira
Elle n'a qu'à ouvrir
L'espace de ses bras
Pour tout reconstruire
Pour tout reconstruire
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a gommé les chiffres
Des horloges du quartier
Elle a fait de ma vie
Des cocottes en papier
Des éclats de rire
Elle a bâti des ponts
Entre nous et le ciel
Et nous les traversons
À chaque fois qu'elle
Ne veut pas dormir
Ne veut pas dormir
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
Pour être si forte aujourd'hui
Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
De la vie, et l'amour aussi
Elle vit de son mieux
Son rêve d'opaline
Elle danse au milieu
Des forêts qu'elle dessine
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle porte des rubans
Qu'elle laisse s'envoler
Elle me chante souvent
Que j'ai tort d'essayer
De les retenir
De les retenir
Je l'aime à mourir
Pour monter dans sa grotte
Cachée sous les toits
Je dois clouer des notes
À mes sabots de bois
Je l'aime à mourir

Je dois juste m'asseoir
Je ne dois pas parler
Je ne dois rien vouloir
Je dois juste essayer
De lui appartenir
De lui appartenir
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
Pour être si forte aujourd'hui
Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
De la vie, et l'amour aussi
Moi je n'étais rien
Et voilà qu'aujourd'hui
Je suis le gardien
Du sommeil de ses nuits
Je l'aime à mourir

Vous pouvez détruire
Tout ce qu'il vous plaira
Elle n'aura qu'à ouvrir
L'espace de ses bras
Pour tout reconstruire
Pour tout reconstruire
Je l'aime à mourir

Thumbalina
Performer(s): Danny Kaye



Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall

Though you're no bigger than my thumb
Than my thumb, than my thumb
Sweet Thumbalina don't be glum
Now now now, ah ah ah, come come come

Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall

Though you're no bigger than my toe
Than my toe, than my toe
Sweet Thumbalina keep that glow
And you'll grow and you'll grow and you'll grow 

Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall 

Cuando Vengas A Verme
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Cuando vengas hoy a verme
me devuelvas roto el corazón
verás pintada en rojo las paredes
y en el baño una bomba molotov...

Esperar y esperar para nunca, nunca tener nada
nena, nena, nena el primer mundo no anda bien
tener un trabajo y una cerveza asegurada
y las manos limpias para tocarte el alma...

Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme, oh no!
Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...

Y con la noche arrodillada
volaremos sobre la guerra
hasta el ghetto y su violenta madrugada
arrojando panes de oro y música...

Volverá, volverá la ternura a estar de nuestro lado
y haremos el amor desnudos sobre vidrios rotos
"un pueblo callado es un pueblo dominado"
recuérdamelo cuando te diga que te amo...

Hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...
verme, verme, verme...
Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...

Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...
verme, verme, verme...

I Act As If
French Title: Je Fais Comme Si
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour


Each day I wake up with a song
A million new ideas before me
As if I'd centuries to spend

And yet I savour deep and long
The many pleasures life has for me
As if tomorrow it might end

I say because of loving you
I can forget all pain and sorrow
As if the world was only good

I say the golden age is due
And brotherhood of man will follow
As if I still believed it could

And though the world is as it is, I make believe
And though the world is as it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

I make my childrens' dreams come true
Nothing so hard to do, but trying
As if I ruled the Universe

But sometimes when I'm feeling blue
Each day would dry the tears I'm crying
As if our roles were in reverse

I want to give them faith to see 
That they will move the mountain ranges
As if the choice was mine by right

And I prepare them fervently 
For futures free of fears and dangers
As if I felt no doubt or fright

And though the world is as it is, I make believe
And though the world is as it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

I tell myself there's not a thing 
Can break apart a love enduring
As if death were an unknown word

I say no force on earth 
Can bring a change from loving to abhoring
As if that never had occurred

And yet I savour deep and long
The many pleasures life has for me
As if tomorrow it might end

Each day I wake up with a song
A million new ideas before me
As if I'd centuries to spend

And though the world is at it is, I make believe
And though the world is at it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

Cuando Vendrás
Composer(s): Gil Rivera
Performer(s): Raphael



Cuando vendrás
A vestirme de amor
A decirme de nuevo
Te quiero

Cuando tendre
Tu presencia en lugar
De una carta leida
En silencio

Cuando entrara
Por mi puerta el amor
Esperado de ti
Tanto tiempo

Cuando estaras a mi lado
Cuando estaras en mi lecho
Cuando estaras en mis brazos
Cuando estaras en mi cuerpo

Cuando vendrás
A traer la mitad que me falta
Cuando vendrás
A llenarme los ojos y el alma

Cuando vendrás
Ya me duele el amor de no verte
Cuando vendrás
Sin que tenga despues que perderte

Cuando entrara
Por mi puerta el amor
Esperado de ti
Tanto tiempo

I (Who Have Nothing)
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; 
Mike Stoller; Carlo Donida
Performer(s): Ben E. King;
and various other artists


I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh
I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I
Who loves you

I love you
I love you
I love you

Throwing Stones
Composer(s): Bob Weir - John Barlow
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free 
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea 
Call it home for you and me

A peaceful place or so it looks from space 
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face 
But afraid, we may our home to waste

There´s a fear down here we can´t forget hasn´t got a name just yet 
Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down 
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls 
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls 
By and by again, the morning sun will rise 
But the darkness never goes from some men´s eyes 
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets 
Stalking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me 
Click, flashblade in ghetto night
Rudies looking for a fight
Rat cat alley roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that jones 
And the politicians throwing stones 
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice 
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price 
Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today 
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones 
While the politicians throwing stones 
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think 
If the spirit´s sleeping, then the flesh is ink
History´s page, it is thusly carved in stone 
The future´s here, we are it, we are on our own 
If the game is lost then we´re all the same 
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone 
Or this shinning ball of bule we can call our home 
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones 
While the politicians are throwing stones 
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth 
Singing ´black goes south while white comes north´ 
And the whole world full of petty wars 
Singing ´I got mine and you got yours´ 
And the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace 
And the radical he rant and rage
Singing ´someone got to turn the page´ 
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing ´Just leave well enough alone´ 
But his pants are down, his cover´s blown 
And the politicians are throwing stones 
So the kids they dance they shake their bones 
'Cause it's all too clear we´re on our own 
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free 
It´s dizzying, the possibilities 
Ashes, Ashes all fall down

Cuando Uno Ama En Serio
Performer(s): Zas



Si me río es para que te rías
si te amo es para que existas
si te miro casi no puedo ni hablar
si lo hago así de cualquier modo
es que ya he perdido casi todo
sólo tu polenta me podrá salvar

Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley
porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

Si te escucho es para que sepas
que comparto todos tus secretos
si te guiño el ojo es para que avances
Qué pasará conmigo si te esfumas
quién volverá a usar mis pantalones
quién limpiará mis discos y mi corazón

Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley
porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

Performer(s): Bill Medley;
and various other artists


Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you ...
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretely

So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because ...

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go

Don't be afraid to loose control.
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say "Stay with me tonight.
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because ...

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you

(chorus)

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found ...

Through With Buzz
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Troglodytes



He takes all my money
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh
He’s not very funny
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh

I remember when he stole my girl
Drug her all around the world
You know I’m cool, yes I feel alright
’cept when I’m in my room and it’s late at night

Maybe he’s a fairy
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh, all right

Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



No se si el mundo es el de siempre
Pero yo lo veo diferente
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brillan las estrellas
Pero yo me encuentro entre tiniembas
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Cuando tu no estas
No tengo nada
No me queda mas que mi dolor
Por eso envidio al mar que tiene agua
Y al amanecer que tiene al sol

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

No se si es todo como antes
Pero a mi me falta como el aire
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brilla igual la luna
Pero yo la noche veo oscura
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Yo te busco a ti bajo las hojas
Que cayendo estan cerca de mi
Al otoño gris lleno de sombras
Le preguntare que fue de ti

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

Sin Laura
Sin su amor

(I've Got) Beginner's Luck
From the film "Shall We Dance" 
Composer(s): George & Ira Gershwin
Performer(s: Fred Astaire;
and various other artists


I've got beginner's luck 
The first time that I'm in love 
I'm in love with you 
Gosh, I'm lucky 

I've got beginner's luck 
They told me beginners win
Now I know it's true
Gosh, I'm fortunate 

The thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime 
For this time is the one 
Where the first time is the last time 

I've got beginner's luck
Lucky through and through
'Cause the first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you 

At any gambling casino 
From Monte Carlo to Reno
They tell you that a beginner 
Comes out a winner 

Beginner fishing for flounder
Will catch a seventeen pounder 
That's what I've always heard 
And always thought absurd, 
But now, I believe every word  

I've got beginner's luck 
The first time that I'm in love 
I'm in love with you 

I've got beginner's luck 
There never was such a smile 
Or such eyes of blue 

This thing we've begun 
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one 
Where the first time is the last time 

'Cause the first time that I'm in love 
The very first time that I'm in love 
The first time that I'm in love 
I'm in love with you 

Thru These Walls
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



I can hear through these walls 
I can hear it when they're fooling around 
I can hear through these walls 
And I hear every sign, every sound 
I can hear through these walls 
In the dark with the shades pulled down 
Every word that they say 
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way 
My favourite moment 
Putting the glass up next to the wall 
Imagination 
Though I see nothing, I hear it all 
Putting my sign up 
Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out 
Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out 
I can see through my windows 
I can see the girls and the boys 
I can see through my windows 
And I can imagine the noise 
I can see through my windows 
I can see them playing with toys 
Oh I hope it won't end 
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend 
Life is so lonely 
I don't get high off just being me 
I like pretending 
Wanting to touch them, wanting to see 
It's only normal 
Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright 
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight 
Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage 
No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely 
Am I really asking a lot 
Just to reach out and touch somebody 
'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door 
I can feel it all around me 
I can hear through these walls 
I can hear it when they're fooling around 
I can hear through these walls 
And I hear every sight, every sound 
I can hear through these walls 
In the dark with the shades pulled down 
Every word that they say 
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way 

Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Mario Battistella - Carlos Gardel - M. Lattes - Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
and multiple other artists



Solo en las rutas de mi destino
sin el amparo de tu mirar
soy como un ave que en el camino
rompió las cuerdas de su cantar

Cuando no estás, la flor no perfuma
si tú te vas, me envuelve la bruma
El zorzal, la fuente y las estrellas
pierden para mí su seducción
Cuando no estás, muere mi esperanza
si tú te vas, se va mi ilusión
¡Oye mi lamento, que confío al viento
todo el dolor cuando tú no estás!

Nace la aurora resplandeciente
clara mañana, bello rosal
brilla la estrella, canta la fuente
ríe la vida porque tú estás
