I'm A Man Composer(s): Jimmy Miller; Steve Winwood Performer(s): Chicago
Well, my path is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win I ain't got no time for loving 'cause my time is all used up Just sitting 'round creating all that groovy kind of stuff
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter showing where our minds are at And relating to each other just how strong our will can be In resisting all involvement with each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone And I've never had no problems and my toilet's trimmed with gold
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo en una estúpida manía circular
En el ojos sucio del espejo un rostro exhausto me consuela con un gesto familiar Junto a tu fotografía se amontonan las colillas en el centro residual Huele a besos todavía la almohada que dormía sueños de algodón y celofán
Leo el libro de poemas que robamos en un arrebato de infección sentimental Una fina lluvia va rompiendo en los cristales largas lágrimas que empiezo a tutear Los zapatos que dejaste calzan pasos en el aire que el silencio me obliga a escuchar Viene un coche por la calle pero no lleva equipaje, tal vez sea el que venga detrás
Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo en una estúpida manía circular
I'm A Loser Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost there is one love I should never have crossed She was a girl in a million, my friend I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown My tears are falling like rain from the sky Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate I realize I have left it too late And so it's true, pride comes before a fall I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar Ao meio dia no silêncio de um lugar Sozinho e sozinho esperou Que a noite trouxesse a esperança de um sonho E a companhia do lugar Sabe o tamanho da estrada que há na frente Desaparece num mato sem fim Sem jamais entender o que alguém perdeu E perdeu e ficou assim
Assim eu sei felicidade Não posso te encontrar Eu te quero, eu te espero Mas sou eu que não posso voltar
Não não não passo a estrada velha de Santana Não não não quero o cemitério do Alecrim Cada braço de riacho engana Traz na água uma cantiga assim Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar...

Ai, ai, que bom Que bom, que bom que é Uma estrada e uma cabocla uma gente andando a pé Ai, ai, que bom Que bom, que bom que é Uma estrada e a lua branca No sertão de Canindé Artomove lá nem se sabe sié homi ou sié muié Quem é rico anda em burrico Quem é pobre anda a pé
Mas o pobre vê nas estrada O orvaio beijando as fulô Vê de perto o galo-campina Que quando canta muda de cor
Vai moiando os pés no riacho Que água fresca, Nosso Sinhô Vai oiando coisa a grané Coisas que pra mode vê O cristão tem qui andar a pé
I'm a little teapot, short and stout Here is my handle (hand on hip) Here is my spout (other arm out straight) When I get all steamed up, hear me shout Tip me up and pour me out! (as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout)
Estoy tan lejos, lejos No sabes como yo te extraño Las horas al no estar contigo Parece que se hicieran años Estoy tan lejos, lejos Con tantas ganas de tenerte Alimentando la esperanza Soñando con volver a verte Pero no habrá distancia Que nos aleje en pensamiento Se pueden separar los cuerpos Pero jamás el sentimiento Pero no habrá distancia Que pueda colocar barreras En un cariño como el nuestro No pueden existir fronteras Estoy tan lejos, lejos De aquel perfume que te pones Que cuando pasas a mi lado Me dice lo que te propones Estoy tan lejos, lejos De tu sonrisa y tu mirada Tan lejos de mis intenciones Que solo nunca dan en nada
Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
Dejaré la cocaína dejaré el alcohol me pudriré en una oficina pero conseguiré tu amor conseguiré tu amor ya lo vas a ver haré lo que sea pero yo sé que lo conseguiré
Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
El aire está cargado de injusticias smog represión para el poeta libertad para el ladrón qué gran manipulación en esta tarde sin sol compraré un traje de spandex y saldré a correrte por la ciudad
Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
Cada vez más tienen menos cada vez menos tienen más pero mi amor es verdadero nada pide sólo da
Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy Estoy tan bien que no me doy ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy

Estoy hablando solo Estoy hablando solo Y sin embargo ciento que estás conmigo No puedo acostumbrarme No puedo acostumbrarme Y sin embargo es cierto que te has ido Estoy llorando hoy por ti Después de tanto tiempo Que a veces te maldigo sin querer Y luego me arrepiento Estoy llorando hoy por ti Ya ves qué tontería Pasaron tantos años y otra vez Volví a pensar en ti Recuerdo aquella tarde La lluvia se durmió serenamente Detrás de la ventana Hacía tanto frío que al filo de la noche Se quedaron heladas las miradas Nacía por primera vez La palabra silencio Creímos en el sueño del amor Y luego no era cierto
I'm A Gigolo Composer(s): Cole Porter First release by: Leslie Hutchinson - 1929
I should like you all to know I'm a famous gigolo And of lavender, my nature's got just a dash in it As I'm slightly undersexed You will always find me next To some dowager who's wealthy rather than passionate Go to one of those night club places And you'll find me stretching my braces Pushing ladies with lifted faces 'round the floor But I must confess to you There are moments when I'm blue And I ask myself whatever I do it for
I'm a flower that blooms in the winter Sinking deeper and deeper in snow I'm a baby who has No mother but jazz I'm a gigolo Ev'ry morning, when labor is over To my sweet-scented lodgings I go Take the glass from the shelf And look at myself I'm a gigolo I get stocks and bonds From faded blondes Ev'ry twenty-fifth of December Still I'm just a pet That men forget And only tailors remember Yet when I see the way all the ladies Treat their husbands who put up the dough You cannot think me odd If then I thank God I'm a gigolo
Estoy Ciego Composer(s): Miguel Mateos

Nena, estoy ciego por mas que quiera no te veo no veo el sol, no veo el mar me pierdo en la ciudad yo amo la oscuridad hasta el aire que respiro me esta haciendo mal la comida que como sabe artificial tu amor en cápsulas sigámonos amando en la oscuridad en la oscuridad
Nena, estoy ciego por mas que quiera no te veo Polución, mutación, contaminación nos ciegan el corazón Talan todo el Amazonas y yo no lo veo hay un agujero en cielo y yo no lo veo el mar lleno de gas-oil sigámonos amando en la oscuridad en la oscuridad
C.I.A., F.B.I. todo lo que dicen es bullshit hay que patear, gritar, esto se va acabar porque sino la bomba va a estallar
hasta el aire que respiro me esta haciendo mal la comida que como sabe artificial tu amor en cápsulas sigámonos amando en la oscuridad en la oscuridad
Baby, I'm blind I want to tell you who I am Baby, I'm blind I want to tell you who I am Baby, I'm blind por mas que quiera no te veo
I'm A Fool To Want You Composer(s): Joel Herron; Frank Sinatra; Jack Wolf First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss the Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say
I'm a fool to want you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you
Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along
