In A Monastery Garden Composer(s): Albert W. Ketèlbey Performer(s): Peter Dawson and multiple other artists
Through the misty twilight falling Voices from afar are calling Calling all the weary Homeward to their rest
The evening bell is softly peeling While from off the cloisters stealing A sweet prayer of mercy Peaceful and so blessed
I wandered alone in a strange land And the night seemed so dark and drear When the sound of a voice seemed to call me And brought to my mind a memory dear
It told of the joy and the gladness That comes from the one above Oh Lord, hear our prayers, take away all our care And fill our hearts with love
Joy will come again with morning Travels fast, a cloud is forming God is love and gives us All eternal rest
Nadie Me Ama Title In Portuguese: Ninguem Me Ama Composer(s): Fernando Lobo; Antonio María; M. Salina Performer(s): Nat King Cole; and various other artists
Nadie me ama Nadie me quiere Nadie me llama Nadie me es fiel
Triste es mi vida Sin un cariño Lloro en silencio Mi desventura
Voy por el mundo cruel De fracaso en fracaso Llamo a la puerta del cielo Que nunca traspaso
Vencido y cansado De tanto sufrir Yo ruego a Dios Que se apiade de mí
Triste es mi vida Lloro en silencio Mi desventura
Voy por el mundo cruel De fracaso en fracaso Llamo a la puerta del cielo Que nunca traspaso
Vencido y cansado De tanto sufrir Yo ruego a Dios Que se apiade de mí

In A Mansion Stands My Love Composer(s): Johnny Russell Performer(s): Jim Reeves and multiple other artists
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine And it looks down on this cabin of mine I had a love and I loved her true But along came a rich man and loved her too Now, on a mountain, in a mansion stands my love
Well, he promised he'd buy her diamond rings Yes, he promised fancy dresses and things He promised everything indeed But he can't buy the love that a poor heart needs On a mountain in a mansion so fine
Now, I know that she's not happy there And I know that she's got pain bad My only dream is that some day She'll come right back here and stay In the cabin, in the valley, with me
On a mountain stands a mansion so fine And it looks down on this cabin of mine I had a love and I loved her true But along came a rich man and loved her too Now, on a mountain, in a mansion stands my love....
Nadie Detiene Al Amor En Un Lugar Performer(s): Fito Paez
Ya está bien asi no ves lo que pasó pensamos que jamás iba a pasar... nadie detiene al amor en un lugar sólo recuerdo tu voz, pidiendo que acercara aquel metal sólo quedamos tu y yo en la inmensidad
No podré vivir sin ti, lo se quebrado en una celda en soledad nadie detiene al amor al lugar sólo recuerdo tu voz, pidiendo que golpeara sin piedad es que nadie detiene al amor en un lugar...
Sobre la madrugada te até con infinita calma la mañana disipó las aguas cuando despertaste no dijieste nada nada, nada, nada nada, nada más
In A Little Town Near By Composer(s): Florence Turner-Maley; Amy Ashmore Clark Performer(s): William Simmons
In mem'ry I see an old homestead rare That was heaven on earth to me It was plain and so humble, yet naugh can compare With that spot where I long to be
In a little house on a little street In a little town near by Where the roses climb o'er the garden wall And you hear the robins cry Where peace and rest make life seem blest When I'm weary how I sigh For that little house on a little street In a little town near by
In fancy I see the old fireplace And you, Mother mine, sitting there As the glow from your embers enlightened your face When you sat in your rocking chair
In a little house on a little street In a little town near by Where the roses climb o'er the garden wall And you hear the robins cry Where peace and rest make life seem blest When I'm weary how I sigh For that little house on a little street In a little town near by
In A Little Spanish Town (Dutch Version: Aan Het Spaanse Strand - 1974) Composer(s): Sam Lewis; Joe Young; Mabel Wayne First release by: Paul Whiteman & His Orch. - 1926 Covered by multiple other artists
In a little Spanish town, 'twas on a night like this Stars were peek-a-booing down, 'twas on a night like this I whispered "Be true to me" and she sighed "si, si" Many skies have turned to grey because we're far apart Many moons have passed away and she's still in my heart We made a promise and sealed it with a kiss In a little Spanish town, 'twas on a night like this

In a little Dutch kindergarten By the little old Zuiderzee There was started the sweetest romance That anyone could see She was dimpled and round and rosy There was mischief within his eyes But the teacher was never nosey So the teacher never got wise They would share their sweets Each day in the sweetest way That was twenty years ago And they do the same today Now they're married and they're so happy And they're sending their children three To that little Dutch kindergarten Down by the Zuiderzee
Nada Nos Separará Composer(s): Jean Felix; Francis Lalanne Performer(s): José Feliciano
Prométeme amor mío que si vives más que yo nunca sufrirás el frío de la ausencia que cayó si la muerte me programa en su gran computador no pienses que será un drama no piense en lo peor
Piensa en mí como te quiero nada nos separará piensa en mi cómo te quiero y eso nos protegerá piensa en mi cómo te quiero nuestra vida no se irá aunque me lleve la muerte con ella nada nos separará
En primavera el invierno siempre se convertirá y en paraíso el infierno si lo quieres cambiará si la muerte me programa en su gran computador sólo me sacará el alma no se llevará mi amor
In A Golden Coach (There's a Heart of Gold) Composer(s): Ronald Jamieson; Harry Leon Performer(s): Dickie Valentine; Billy Cotton
On a day in June, when the flowers are in Bloom That day will make history, yes, world history The warm, friendly sun will shine down on dear old London town And this wonderful picture you'll see
In a golden coach, there's a heart of gold Driving through old London town With the sweetest Queen the world's ever seen Wearing her golden crown As she drives in state through the palace gate Her beauty the whole world will see In a golden coach there's a heart of gold That belongs to you and me
In a golden coach, there's a heart of gold Driving through old London town She's the sweetest Queen the world's ever seen Wearing her golden crown. As she drives in state through the palace gate Her beauty the whole world will see In a golden coach there's a heart of gold That belongs to you and me
Heridas como manos enlazadas con nudos de una silenciosa trampa temores que deforman las palabras sonidos de mortal ineficacia intentan una equívoca jugada gratuita como el aire de las jaulas enferma la razón tiene morada haciendo de saliva a las montañas
Qué pasa, que no hay nada más que nada nada de nada nada más que nada
El frío del pasado a las espaldas construye espejos tras cada ventana la luz, cuando una vela está apagada tropieza con su llama imaginaria Se agrieta una canción en la guitarra regando sus latidos en voz baja y así, inexorable, el tiempo pasa inmóvil, detenido en su mortaja
Qué pasa, que no hay nada más que nada nada de nada nada más que nada
In A Country Churchyard Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people Gathered all around to join a man and woman Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard And over the hill, where the river meets the mill A lovely girl is coming down To give her hand upon her wedding day...
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair Music as she walks slowly to the altar And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her "Will you take this man to be your wedded husband to honour and love in the eyes of God above Now let the people sing with me The words to live forever in your heart...
Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly away"
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves And suddenly it seemed to me I heard the words like singing in the trees...
Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly...
Let your love shine on For we are the stars in the sky Let your love shine strong Until the day you fly, fly away...
Tu amor es un karma Es parte de la red Pero me hace bien
Tu amor es una danza Y volvemos a caer En la trampa Muy bien, hombre rana No te fíes de mí, voy siguiéndote Ya sé mis entrañas También hay flores para tí esperándote
Nada más preciado para mí
Salvando las entrañas Apenas toco tu piel Voy abriéndome Si calmo mis ansias Podré pasar de ser un pez a un demente
La verdad es que no me importa Sólo trato de hacerlo bien Como un loco perdido en la lluvia mi amor Descalzo
In A Big Country Composer(s): Stuart Adamson; Mark Brzezicki; Tony Butler; Bruce Watson First release by: Big Country - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
Come up screaming Come up screaming I've never seen you look like this without a reason Another promise fallen through Another season passes by you I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look For someone who is still a child In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Stay alive So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floorcome up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Stay alive Stay alive
Im in the lock-up 20 days, just 20 days ago I met the judge, the kind old judge, who was feeling fine and so He gave me just a year in jail A sociable sort of gink All on account of a gallon of beer that I thought I could drink
In 11 more months and 10 more days Ill be out of the calaboose In 11 more months and 10 more days Theyre going to turn me loose
The other day, the warden said Wed like to bring you cheer And give you lots of different sports While you are stopping here Now just what athletics do you think that you would you like? I said - if its all the same to you Id like to go on an ike
In 11 more months and 10 more days Ill be out of the calaboose In 11 more months and 10 more days Theyre going to turn me loose
Now we play football once a week And you should see the score Every player steals a goal Hes stolen things before Theres lots of folks Whod like to see us when we play But they built a wall around the place To keep the crowds away
In 11 more months and 10 more days Ill be out of the calaboose In 11 more months and 10 more days Theyre going to turn me loose
One dreary winters evening When the place was covered in gloom There came an ominous rumbling From the prisoners dining room Oh, the food is simply atrocious here I much prefer Sing-Sing There were shouts and roars And banging of doors And bells began to ring (Thats enough!) It was mutiny in the prison a terrible sin The warden ran to the dining room To try and stop the din And what do you think he saw there When at last he did get in? A man was on top of a table Doing a song and a dance He shouted to the warden Here I won the Treble Chance The wardens face turned purple And he bellowed out: Oh heck You cant leave here for another year So how will you cash the cheque?
In 11 more months and 10 more days Ill be out of the calaboose In 11 more months and 10 more days Theyre going to turn me loose
Nada Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Nada, nada de lo tuyo necesito Nada, nada, ni tu amor que ya no es mio Nada, nada, yo de ti ya no quiero nada Llevate los libros que leias Y el sillon en que tu te sentabas Y aquel vaso gris en que bebias Llevate el aroma de tu cuerpo Que a mi no me quede nada por la casa Ni siquiera el eco de un recuerdo Nada, nada, nada, nada
Nada, nada de lo tuyo me hace falta Nada, nada, ni siquiera tus palabras Nada, nada, yo de ti ya no quiero nada Llevate las noches de cariño Las paredes blancas que nos vieron Y las cosas que nos prometimos No te dejes nada por favor Que no quede nada de este amor Que no queda nada, nada
