    If I Were A Rich Man
    (French Version: Si J'avais Des Millions - 1968)
    Composer(s): Jerry Bock; Sheldon M. Harnick
    First release by: Zero Mostel - 1964
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Tevye:
    "Dear God, you made many, many poor people
    I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor
    But it's no great honor either!
    So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"

    If I were a rich man
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
    If I were a wealthy man
    I wouldn't have to work hard
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    If I were a biddy biddy rich
    Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

    I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
    Right in the middle of the town
    A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
    There would be one long staircase just going up
    And one even longer coming down
    And one more leading nowhere, just for show

    I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
    For the town to see and hear
    And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
    Would land like a trumpet on the ear
    As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"

    If I were a rich man
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
    If I were a wealthy man
    I wouldn't have to work hard
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    If I were a biddy biddy rich
    Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

    I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
    With a proper double-chin
    Supervising meals to her heart's delight
    I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
    Oy, what a happy mood she's in
    Screaming at the servants, day and night

    The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
    They would ask me to advise them
    Like a Solomon the Wise
    "If you please, Reb Tevye..."
    "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
    Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
    And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong
    When you're rich, they think you really know!

    If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
    To sit in the synagogue and pray
    And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
    And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day
    That would be the sweetest thing of all

    If I were a rich man
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
    If I were a wealthy man
    I wouldn't have to work hard
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    If I were a biddy biddy rich
    Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

    El Poeta
    Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqu Performer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui and multiple other artists



    Tú piensas que eres distinto
    porque te dicen poeta
    y tienes un mundo aparte
    más allá de las estrellas

    De tanto mirar la luna
    ya nada sabes mirar
    Eres como un pobre ciego
    que no sabe adónde va

    Vete a mirar los mineros
    los hombres en el trigal
    y cántales a los que luchan
    por un pedazo de pan

    Poeta de tiernas rimas
    vete a vivir a la selva
    y aprenderás muchas cosas
    del hachero y sus miserias

    Vive junto con el pueblo
    no lo mires desde afuera
    que lo primero es ser hombre
    y lo segundo, poeta

    De tanto mirar la luna
    ya nada sabes mirar
    Eres como un pobre ciego
    que no sabe adónde va

    If I Were A Moose
    Composer(s): Fred Small
    Performer(s): Fred Small



    If I were a moose and you were a cow
    Would you love me anyhow?
    Would you introduce me to your folks
    Would you tell your friends "No moose jokes!"
    If I were a moose and you were a cow

    Would you invite me to your club
    And risk a cruel bovine snub
    Would you lead me down the receiving line
    And boldly boast "This moose is mine!"

    Would your parents watch us graze
    Shake their heads, "It's just a phase"
    Or would they thank the stars above
    Their precious heifer's found her love?

    Would your grandparents change their will?
    They'd really expected a Holstein bull
    "For this we toiled before the plow
    You bring home someone who's not even a cow

    There's lot's of proper stock around
    Like that nice young Guernsey at Farmer Brown's
    Or that last one we ridiculed and cursed
    On second thought you could do worse

    But if you think this thing will last
    Could he learn to moo and eat our grass
    Shed his antlers in the dirt
    Could you persuade him to convert?"

    If our anatomies did not quite fit
    Would you make the best of it
    Would you nuzzle up so near
    And hum sweet cow tunes in my ear?

    Or would you sadly break it off
    When all the hillside sneered and scoffed
    "You know those moose are all the same
    They're lazy, they're stupid, they come from Maine"

    It's true things slip a moose's mind
    That cows remember all the time
    Bulbous nose and knobby knees
    A coat that harbors ticks and fleas

    But a moose can be a handy thing
    When hungry wolves come visiting
    In icy gust of winter storm
    Our fur is deep and dry and warm

    And someday should your milk run dry
    And farmer stare with baleful eye
    In dead of night I'd slip your noose
    And lead you home to the land of moose
    If I were a moose and you were a cow

    If hunters came to do me harm
    Would you hide me in the barn
    Would all the herd come on the run
    And glare until they dropped their guns?

    Might you permit a goodnight kiss
    Could you learn to love wet moose lips?
    If I were a moose and you were a cow
    If you were a cow and I were a moose

    El Podér De Los Sueños
    Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
    Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner



    Hay una luz, en algún lugar adonde van los sueños de la humanidad
    Hay una luz dentro de ti adonde van los sueños que van a venir
    para volver a despertar
    no te olvides: nunca dejes de soñar, nunca dejes de soñar
    Hay una luz que no se ve, brilla desde adentro desde la niñez
    hay una luz en algún lugar, allí donde los sueños se hacen realidad
    Más allá del sol, más allá del mar, más allá del tiempo sé que hay un lugar
    donde quiero ir, donde quiero estar, hoy la fantasía se hace realidad...

    If I Were A King
    Composer(s): Joe Bataan; Nitollano
    Performer(s): Joe Bataan



    If I were a king (if I were a king)
    I'd tear me crown
    And if I were a millionaire, oh baby (oh baby)
    You'd own all that I own
    Just tell me that you care
    And you're going where I want to

    If you say you love me (tell me you love me)
    I'll give you that as ???? girl
    Just whisper that you want me
    And you'll be me girl
    And, you can have pearls in your hand
    Just as long as I'm your man

    Darling, there is gonna be no rule in the whole wide world
    That's gonna stop this guy from walking against you
    There's gonna be no river deep enough baby
    That I can't swim, to be beside you
    (If I were a king ) (If I I were a king)

    And if that's all to ????, I write a song to you
    I'll climb the last mountain top
    And shout up there that I love you, you

    If I were a pet, girl
    I ???? for you ?????
    And if I were a poor boy, I'd offer you a toy
    But, nothing's gonna stop me, yeah
    To try to get next to you, oh
    Just as long as I can, I'm your man

    That's right darling
    There"s gonna be no rule long enough in the whole wide world
    That's gonna stop this guy from getting to you
    Believe me, you found a king
    And if all the riches and all the treasures in the whole wide world
    Aren't enough to satisfy you, darling
    But you can have my heart
    And believe me, yes you better believe
    With my heart you can go a long, long way
    I'm telling you
    All it's gonna take, all it's gonna take
    Is for you to be my queen

    Let this daddy here be your king

    El Pintor De Las Mujeres Soles
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    El pintor de las mujeres soles
    abandonado en su empecinada claridad
    Hizo su último viaje ya muy solo
    sobre el Atlántico
    y fue sepultado cuando llegó

    El pintor brilloso como la Luna
    con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo
    Escupió al cangrejo desde un dibujo
    y le puso fecha a su despedida
    Y siguió queriendo aunque no fue amado
    ni como ser humano
    Y siguió aprendiendo el camino de la soledad
    en todo momento

    Y se fue entre ceras alucinantes
    con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo
    Descargando gritos sobre las armas
    mientras los beatos se persignaban
    y el no tuvo iglesias
    pero algo de altares al amor
    hubo entre sus lienzos
    Y en la fantasía iba platicando su viaje
    hacia el universo

    El pintor de las enredaderas de luz escribió
    sus últimos signos con triste desesperación
    Y dejó sus restos a los amigos
    y dejó sus restos a los amigos
    pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos
    pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos

    followin' behind me

    Save my love through loneliness
    Save my love for sorrow
    I'm given you my onliness
    Come give your tomorrow

    If I worked my hands in wood
    Would you still love me?
    Answer me babe, "Yes I would
    I'll put you above me"

    If I were a miller
    at a mill wheel grinding

    Y si no he de encontrarte porque tú ya no existas
    que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios

    Voy a morirme solo
    sin molestar a nadie
    voy a morirme lejos
    cuando mi amor se acabe

    Desesperadamente
    sin ley y sin destino
    le contare a la gente
    que fuimos dos amigos

    Entre mi amor y el tuyo
    dentro de nuestras vidas
    hay algo que aunque quiera
    no puedo remediarlo

    Por eso me despido
    llevandome conmigo
    este cariño grande
    que tengo que matarlo

    Voy a morirme solo
    sin molestar a nadie
    voy a morirme lejos
    cuando mi amor se acabe

    Escogere del mundo
    el peor de los caminos
    y le dire a la gente
    que no nos conocimos

    Entre mi amor y el tuyo...

    If I Were A Blackbird
    Composer(s): Alister Armstrong; Judson Armstrong
    Performer(s): Helen Creighton



    I once knew a maiden, a maiden so rare
    Fell in love with a sailor, a young sailor beau
    She courted him dearly, by night and by day
    Til at length this young sailor, he sailed far away

    And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing
    I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in
    And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest
    And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast

    My true love is handsome in every degree
    My parents despise him because he loves me
    Well, let them despise him, or say what they will
    While there's life in my bosom, I'll love the lad still

    And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing
    I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in
    And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest
    And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast

    If I were a scholar, I could handle a pen
    One long, loving letter unto him I'd send
    I'd tell him my sorrow, my grief and my woes
    If I could but find him I'd crown him with gold

    And if I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing
    I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in
    And on the top rigging I'd there build my nest
    And I'd fly like a seagull to his lily white breast

    I’m just a young sailor and my story is sad
    For once I was happy and a brave sailor lad
    I courted a lassie by night and by day
    But now she has left me and gone far away

    And pillow my head on her lily white breast
    Whistle and sing, whistle and sing
    I’ll follow the ship that my true love sails in

    El Paso City
    Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins; David Allan Coe; Meat Puppets



    From thirty thousand feet above
    The desert floor, I see it there below
    A city with a legend
    The west Texas city of El Paso
    Where long ago I heard a song
    About a Texas cowboy and a girl
    And a little place called Rosa's
    Where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl

    I don't recall who sang the song
    But I recall the story that I heard
    And as I look down on the city
    I remember each and ev'ry word
    The singer sang about a jealous cowboy
    And the way he used his gun
    To kill another cowboy
    Then he had to leave El Paso on the run

    El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e
    The cowboy lived and rode away
    But love was strong he couldn't stay
    He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand
    El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e
    I try not to let you cross my mind
    But still I find there's just a mystery
    In the song that I don't understand

    My mind is down there somewhere
    As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
    I can't explain why I should know
    The very trail he rode back to El Paso
    Can it be that man can disappear
    From life and live another time
    And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think
    That you yourself lived in that other time

    Somewhere in my deepest thoughts
    Familar scenes and memories unfold
    These wild and unexplained emotions
    That I've had so long but I have never told
    Like every time I fly up thru the heavens
    And I see you there below
    I get the feeling sometime
    In another world I lived in El Paso

    El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e
    Could it be that I could be
    The cowboy in this mystery
    That died there in that desert sand so long ago
    El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e
    A voice tells me to go and see
    Another voice keeps tellin' me
    Maybe death awaits me in El Paso

    El Paso Cit-y

    If I Was The Priest
    Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
    Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen; Allan Clarke



    Well there's a light on yonder mountain
    And it's calling me to shine
    There's a girl over by the water fountain
    And she's asking to be mine
    And ain't that Jesus, he's standing in the doorway
    With a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs, so really fine
    He says "We need you up in Dodge City, son
    'Cause there's oh so many bad boys (just too many outlaws)
    Tryin' to work the same line"

    Well now if Jesus was the sheriff and I were the priest
    If my lady was an heiress and my mama was a thief
    Oh and Papa rode shotgun for the Fargo line
    There's still too many outlaws
    Tryin' to work the same line

    Now old sweet Virgin Mary
    She runs the Holy Grail saloon
    Where for a nickel they'll give you whisky
    And the personally blessed balloon
    And the Holy Ghost, he's the host with the most
    He runs the burlesque show
    Where they let you in for free
    But oh hit you for your soul when you go
    And Mary serves Mass on Sunday
    And then she sells her body on Monday
    To the bootlegger who will pay the highest price
    But he don't know he got stuck with a loser
    Mary's a stone junkie, what's more she's a boozer
    And she's only been made once or twice
    By some kind of magic

    Well things ain't been the same in Heaven
    Ever since big bad Bobby came to town
    He's been known to down eleven
    And then ask for another round
    And me I got scabs on my knees
    >From kneeling way too long
    I gotta take a stand, be the man, up where you belong
    And forget about the old friends and the old times
    Because there's just too many new boys
    Tryin' to work the same line

    Well now if Jesus was the sheriff and I were the priest
    If my lady was an heiress and my mama was a thief
    Oh and Papa rode shotgun for the Fargo line
    There's still too many bad boys
    Tryin' to work the same line

    Now there's a light on yonder mountain
    And it's calling me to shine
    There's a girl by the water fountain
    And she's asking to be mine
    And Jesus, he's standing in the doorway
    With his six-guns drawn, and ready to fan
    He says "We need you son, up in Dodge City"
    But I'm already overdue in Cheyenne

    El Paso
    ((Dutch Version: De Derde Straat Links Op Het Nummer 15 (Wendy Van Wanten) -1996)) Composer(s): Marty Robbins First release: Marty Robbins - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists



    Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was deep for this Mexican maiden I was in love but in vain, I could tell One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind Dashing and daring A drink he was sharing With wicked Felina The girl that I loved So in anger I Challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the Foul Evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied I caught a good one It looked like it could run Up on its back And away I did ride Just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everything's gone in life; nothing is left It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death I saddled up and away I did go Riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow A bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this Pain in my heart And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me I have to make it to Rosa's back door Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side Though I am trying To stay in the saddle I'm getting weary Unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen Though I am weary I can't stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for One little kiss and Felina, good-bye

    If I Was A Boy
    Composer(s): James Alan Shelton
    Performer(s): Eartha Kitt



    If I was a boy I'd know the things a girl shouldn't know
    I'd go where girls shouldn't go
    So, oh so girls shouldn't, so

    If I was a boy, I'd had come of age a long time ago
    It would be a joy, if I was a boy

    If I was a boy, I'd do so much a girl can't explain
    I'd pack and catch me a train
    Go out and raise me some cain

    If I was a boy, there'd be some use in having a brain
    It would be a joy, just to be a boy

    There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with
    There are times I think I'm busting at the seams

    But as long as I have something left to hope with
    I still have my dreams

    If I was a boy, I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout
    Learn things that girls seem to doubt
    Spread my activities out

    If I was a boy, I'd know what all the shouting's about
    It would be a joy, just to be a boy

    There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with
    There are times I think I'm busting at the seams

    But as long as I have something left to hope with
    I still have my dreams

    If I was a boy, I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout
    Learn things that girls seem to doubt
    Spread my small activities out

    If I was a boy, I'd know what all the shouting's about
    It would be a joy, just to be a boy

    Doggone it, if I was only a boy, the things I wouldn't do
    I'd take a trip to .....

    If I Was
    Composer(s): D. Mitchell; Midge Ure
    Performer(s): Midge Ure



    If I was a better man

    Would fellow men take me to their hearts?
    If I was a stronger man
    Carrying the weight of popular demand

    Tell me
    would that alarm her?
    I'd never harm her at all

    If I was a soldier
    captive arms I'd lay before her
    If I was a sailor
    seven oceans I'd sail to her

    If I was a wiser man

    Would other men reach out and touch me?
    If I was a kinder man
    Dishing out love for a hungry world

    Tell me
    would that appease her?
    I want to please her again

    If I was a painter

    I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
    If I was a leader

    On food of love from above I would feed her
    If I was a poet

    All my love and burning words I would show it
    If I was a lover

    Her eyes in kisses I would cover

    Come here
    my baby
    oh
    they can't touch you now

    I'll keep you safe and warm
    I'll never leave you at all
    Come here
    my baby
    oh
    they won't touch you

    Dishing up love for a hungry world
    tell me
    would that appease you?
    I want to please you again

    If I was a soldier
    captive arms I'd lay before her
    If I was a sailor
    seven oceans I'd sail to her
    If I was a painter
    I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
    If I was a leader
    on food of love from above I would feed her

    El Organillero
    Composer(s): Agustín Lara Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists



    Cantando por el barrio del amor
    se cansa mi organillo de llorar
    se mete en las orejas su rumor
    y se oye por todita la ciudad

    Cantando por el barrio del amor
    se cansa mi organillo de llorar
    se mete en las orejas su rumor
    y se oye por todita la ciudad

    Ya se va el organillero con su tema juguetón
    es olvido y es amor
    y se aturde todo el barrio y se salta el corazón
    cuando canta su canción

    En sus quejas dolorosas cuántas cosas me contó
    sonecito callejero, lastimero y juguetón

    Ya se va el organillero nadie sabe dónde va
    dónde guarda su canción
    Pobrecito organillero si el manubrio se cansó
    dale vuelta al corazón

    Ya se va el organillero nadie sabe dónde va
    donde guarda su canción
    Pobrecito organillero si el manubrio se cansó
    dale vuelta al corazón

    If I Steal A Kiss
    Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Edward Heyman
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



    If I steal a kiss, dear
    I’ll surely return it some day
    If I steal your dreams, dear
    I’ll bring them back some way
    And if I take your moonlight
    I’ll bring it back more divine
    But if I steal your heart, dear
    I’ll keep it close to mine

    And if I steal your moonlight
    I’ll bring it back more divine
    But if I steal your heart, dear
    I’ll keep it close to mine
    I’ll keep it close to mine
