I Fall In Love Too Easily Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne First performance/First recording: Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett - 1945/1954 Covered by multiple other artists
There are those who can leave love or take it Love to them is just what they make it I wish that I were the same But love is my fav'rite game
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been burned in the past And still I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last

Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia
Tu eras principio y fin, de mi alegria
Yo te creia fiel como la luna
Que acude a protegernos cada dia
Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia
Tu eras mi perro fiel
Yo era tu guia
Hasta que desperte de mi locura
Y pude comprender que me mentias
Coro
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel
Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
De humo fue tu amor y de papel y de papel
Mira mis sueos como se queman
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Yo era feliz contigo vida mia
Tu eras mi perro fiel, yo era tu guia
Hasta que desperte de mi locura
Y pude comprender, que me mentias
Coro
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel
Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
De humo fue tu amor, y de papel y de papel
Mira mis sueos como se queman
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel me sabe a hiel
I Enjoy Being A Girl Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Doris Day and multiple other artists
When I have a brand new hairdo With my eyelashes all in curl I float as the clouds on air do I enjoy being a girl When men say I'm cute and funny And my teeth aren't teeth but pearl I just lap it up like honey I enjoy being a girl
I flip when a fella sends me flowers I drool over dresses made of lace I talk on the telephone for hours With a pound and a half of cream upon my face
I'm strictly a female female And my future I hope will be In the home of a brave and free male Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me
Y qué puedo decir sino reiterar una vez más que yo no estoy aquí porque nunca he pretendido estar sin o ser sin que ser tenga el sentido de entender lo que no sabe el latido
Y qué puedo decir que no sea un nuevo modo de volver a decir que queda todo, todo todo por sentir
Nada puedo añadir a los pleitos entre el bien y el mal solamente insistir en la paradoja que hay detrás de creer que son dos cosas opuestas y no ver que ambas se dan la respuesta
Y qué puedo decir que no sea un nuevo modo de volver a decir que queda todo, todo todo por sentir
I Drove All Night Composer(s): Tom Kelly; Billy Steinberg First recording/First release by: Roy Orbison - 1988/1989 Covered by multiple other artists
I had to escape The city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead Uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night, crept in your room Woke you from your sleep to make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night
What in this world keeps us from falling apart? No matter where I go I hear the beating of our one heart I think about you when the night is cold and dark Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do Nothing erases this feeling between me and you I drove all night to get to you Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room Woke you from your sleep to make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night, crept in your room Is that all right? I drove all night
Jet Airliner Composer(s): Paul Pena Performer(s): Steve Miller Band; Paul Pena; Sawtooth Bluegrass Band; The Wynners
Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane I've been thinkin' about my home But my love light seems so far away And I feel like it's all been done Somebody's tryin' to make me stay You know I've got to be movin' on
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home Goodbye to people I've trusted I've got to go out and make my way I might get rich you know I might get busted But my heart keeps calling me backwards As I get on the 707 Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes You know you got to go through hell Before you get to heaven
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touchin' down in New England town Feel the heat comin' down I've got to keep on keepin' on You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around And I'm goin' with some hesitation You know that I can surely see That I don't want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit goin' down in the city
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Carry me to my home Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's there that I belong
Todo O Sentimento Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Cristóvão Bastos Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists
Preciso não dormir Até se consumar O tempo Da gente Preciso conduzir Um tempo de te amar Te mando devagar E urgentemente Pretendo descobrir No último momento Um tempo que refaz o que desfez Que recolhe todo o entimento E bota no corpo uma outra vez
Prometo te querer Até o amor cair Doente Doente Prefiro então partir A tempo de poder A gente se desvencilhar da gente Depois de te perder Te encontro, com certeza Talvez num tempo da delicadeza Onde não diremos nada Nada aconteceu Apenas seguirei, como encantado Ao lado teu
I Drink French & Italian Titles: Je Bois; Io Bevo Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I drink to drive away all the years I have hated The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive I drink day after day to the chaos behind me Yes, I drink to remind me that still I'm alive
So I give you a toast to the endless confusions To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life Yes, I give you a toast to the wine and the roses To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife
I drink to catch a gleam of the love we degraded Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon I drink, as in a dream, to my waning desire To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon
I drink and I drown in the promise you made me All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite When you took on the town, when you looked for the action When you took satisfaction, like a whore in the night
I drink to make-believe that my life is worth living That the gods are forgiving at the end of the day I drink because I grieve for the dreams when we started For the innocent-hearted who got lost on the way
For the children unborn, for their dead, phantom faces For our sterile embraces in the tomb of your bed I drink, and I mourn for the harvest that failed For the ship that has sailed, for the hope that is dead
I drink to find a place where the darkness can hide me Till the terror inside me can at last disappear I drink to my disgrace, till oblivion claims me Till there's nothing that shames me, till I'm blind to my fear
Yes, I drink till I burst in my own degradation To the edge of damnation that is waiting below Yes, I drink with a thirst that destroys and depraves me And cuffs and enslaves me, and will never let go
I drink until I'm lost, and the street is my hideout Where I vomit my pride out till I'm gasping for breath I drink to count the cost of a life I despair for Until God hears my prayer for the compassion of death
So I spit out my bile at the gods who demean us At the silence between us, at the love none can save For a life that is vile, for a soul that is ailing For a body that's failing as it heads for the grave
I drink without a care? drink because I must? drink to my despair? I drink to your disgust? I drink, drink, drink? by God, I drink! Yes, I drink!

Todo Está Bien Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Zas
Todo está bien así nos lo hemos creído Uno puede pasear al perro por la vereda soleada Uno puede creer que la libertad es un picnic También se puede tener placer en ver T.V. un sábado a la noche
Más de vos más de mí más de los que están allí
Uno puede encontrarse una lata en la calle meter y sacar la mano sin temor a cortarse Si uno y uno son dos por qué lo ignora Dios
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien
Quisiera saber quién reparte el pan y el vino qué enseñanza le podré dar a mi hijo el hilo que aún me sostiene se está a punto de romper
Uno puede pensar que el mundo se arma para defenderse pero de quién? Uno puede amar la naturaleza pero comer un buen churrasco cerca del río Uno puede estar tan loco como para mirarse en el espejo y amarse de una vez por todas
Polución, frustración congestión, represión Qué suerte que te encuentro dormida y que la música aún nos una
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien A quién le importa ya si el mal o el bien existen con tanta gente sola y que resiste Si ellos lo dicen, todo está bien
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien
I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Composer(s): Michael Balfe; Alfred Bunn; Michael McGlynn Performer(s): Larry Clinton and multiple other artists
I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls With servant and slaves by my side And of all who assembled within those great walls That I was the hope and the pride I had rubies to play with and money to count My name was renowned with fame But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me, you loved me still the same
I had rubies to play with and money to count My name was renowned with fame But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me, you loved me still the same
Jésus Christ Composer(s): Philippe Labro; Eddie Vartan Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
S'il existe encore aujourd'hui Il doit vivre aux Etats-Unis Il doit jouer de la guitare Et coucher sur les bancs des gares Il doit fumer de la marijane Avec un regard bleu qui plane
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Poncho mexicain sur le dos Autour de son front, un bandeau Il est barbu et chevelu Il s'est battu à Chicago Il aime les filles aux seins nus Il est né à San Francisco
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Dans les parcs et le long des docks Il vit dans un sac de couchage On n'arrête pas de l'arrêter Pour délit de vagabondage Au grand festival de Woodstock C'est lui qui soignait les blessés
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Son père s'appelait Jo, je crois Sa mère s'appelait Mary, je crois Il a trente-trois ans, je crois Le FBI lui court après, je crois Et s'ils arrivent à le coincer Ils mettront notre ami en croix
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie Jésus-Christ est un hippie Jésus-Christ est un hippie

I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Hal Sothern Performer(s): Tex Ritter
(Wah, wah, wah, waaahhhh) I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven And you know who greeted me at the gate? The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers He said to me, he said "Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to kinda show you around Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole compadres" My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls Then he said, "Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know you'll want to see, they're waitin' for you" There they were standin' side by side and smilin' at me -- Hank Williams and Johnny Horton
I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a star-studded night}
Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred years? He handed me a large book covered with star dust Will called it the Big Tally Book In it were many names and each name was branded in pure gold I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter (Whaaaatttt???) Tex Ritter? Oh, well, that's when I woke up, and I'm sorry I did, because
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
Jesus, Lover Of My Soul Composer(s): Charles Wesley; S.B. Marsh Performer(s): Henry "Rubberlegs" Williams
Jesus, lover of my soul Let me to Thy bosom fly While the nearer waters roll While the tempest still is high Hide me, O my Savior! hide Till the storm of life be past Safe into the haven guide Oh! receive my soul at last!
Other refuge have I none Hangs my helpless soul on Thee Leave, ah! leave me not alone Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed All my help from Thee I bring Cover my defenceless head With the shadows of Thy wing!
Todo Es Mentira Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Me armé de corazas hasta los dientes y de eso que llaman valor de héroe Para no amainar el paso hacia una meta en la que nunca me empeñé Después de caer setecientas veces logré que el contrario perdiera un poco el pie y en vez de sentirme henchido por la hazaña me preguntaba "porqué" para responderme: no lo sé Todo es mentira menos tú y si lo fueras, te lo suplico, miénteme bésame y dime: todo es mentira menos tú Me quise creer algunas promesas que hablaban de cosas que había que cambiar la fe, que era escasa, apenas tuvo tiempo de acercarse a algún altar Cambiaron las cosas pero al contrario siguiendo las reglas del juego malabar salieron de la chistera gatos rosas grises, malvas, a cazar al primer ratón dispuesto a hablar Todo es mentira menos tú... No sé que sentido tiene la vida ni que coincidencia separa el bien del mal no sé si este cuerpo que me encierra nace de algo mas que un mineral De lo que no tengo ninguna duda es de que cometo el pecado original cuando cada noche el cuerpo que me ofreces no es una estatua de sal sino del paraíso terrenal Todo es mentira menos tú...
I Dreamed A Dream Adapted from: J'avais Rêvé D'une Autre Vie - 1980 Composer(s): Claude-Michel Schonberg; Alain Boublil; Jean-Marc Natel; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Patti LuPone - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
There was a time when men were kind Their voices were soft And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And that song was exciting
There was a time, and it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in days gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dreamed he'd come to me That we would live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be So diff'rent from this hell I'm living So diff'rent now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
