Sylvia's Christmas Song Composer(s): Karl Collan; Zachary Topelius
Och nu ar det jul i min alskade Nord ar det jul i vart hjarta ocksa? Och ljusen de brinna pa ragade bord och barnen i vantan sta Dar borta i taket dar hanger han an der bur, som har fangat min trognaste van och sangen har tystnat i fangelseborg o, vem har ett hjarta for songarens sorg? Och strala, du klaraste stjarna i skyn blicka ned pa min alskade Nord! Och nar du gar bort under himmelens bryn valsigna min fadernejord! I blommande varar pa gyllene strand var finnes ett land som mitt fadernesland? For dig vill jag sjunga on Karlek och var sa lange din Sylvias hjarta slar
Seamos Todos Caballos Composer(s): D.A.R. Performer(s): León Gieco
Hombre crea tu paz y entonces habrá flor hombre róbate la oscuridad y también las guerras que amanecer tan largo estamos viviendo sin pensamientos y el hombre dejo de serlo y el hombre dejo de serlo
Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra paz seamos todos caballos y habra libertad porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos porque los caballos son carceleros del campo y el hombre de sus hermanos
Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra flor seamos todos caballos y habra color verde porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos porque los caballos son carceleros del campo y el hombre de sus hermanos
Seamos Humanos Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Chelo
Aquí se nos acaba tristemente aquello que juramos cumplir con nuestro Dios aquí nos despedimos para siempre sabiendo que el olvido se impuso a nuestro amor
No vamos a insultarnos mutuamente ni vamos a decirnos de quién fue la traición no seamos tan vulgares ni tan bajos si vamos a dejarnos que no sea con rencor
Tan siquiera una vez en la vida seamos humanos por respeto al Señor de allá arriba dame tus manos
Abrázame como antes me abrazabas y mírame sonriendo al fin de la ilusión no importa que nos vean enamorados así de apasionados dígamonos adiós
Tan siquiera una vez en la vida seamos humanos por respeto al Señor de allá arriba dame tus manos
All Things Dull And Ugly Composer(s): Eric Idle Performer(s): Monthy Python
All things dull and ugly All creatures short and squat All things rude and nasty The Lord God made the lot Each little snake that poisons Each little wasp that stings He made their brutish venom He made their horrid wings All things sick and cancerous All evil great and small All things foul and dangerous The Lord God made them all Each nasty little hornet Each beastly little squid Who made the spikey urchin Who made the sharks He did All things scabbed and ulcerous All pox both great and small Putrid, foul and gangrenous The Lord God made them all Amen
Non dire no, che ti conosco e lo so cosa pensi non dirmi no os tempos vao foram-se os tempos e agora te calas tu jà nao falas se falo de amor se tens as malas prontas, nao finjas, tudo acabou porque jà nao se ve o teu sorriso ao amanhecer porque jà nao sou mais teu bem-querer se ami sia quando tutto finisce se ami sai come un brivido triste come in un film dalle scene già viste che se ne va oh no! se o amor acaba a ninguem cabe a culpa se o amor acaba nao cabe desculpa agora aperte as minhas maos, sim pra que reste o recordar, sim ananha e non si può chiudere gli occhi e far finta di niente come fai tu quando resti con me e non trovi il coraggio di dirmi che cosa c'è. sarà dentro di me come una notte d'inverno perchè sarà da oggi in poi senza di te sei que me amavas e agora è tao tarde sei que me amavas e agora è saudade non nosso filme o fim serà triste nao quero ver, oh nao! sabes que è chegada a hora das dores dores de quando se acabam os amores agora aperte as minhas maos, sim pra que reste o recordar, sim amanha nao estaras mais aqui
All These Things Composer(s): Naomi Neville First release by: Aaron Neville - 1962
The touch of your lips next to mine Gets me excited, makes me feel fine I've got it bad but that's all right Long as you're near me every night Your love so warm and tender Your thrill is so divine It is all these things that make you mine
If you would leave me, I surely would die When you started to go, I started to cry I've got it bad but that's all right Long as you're near me every night Your love so warm and tender Your thrill is so divine It is all these things that make you mine
If you would leave me, I surely would die When you started to go, I started to cry I've got it bad but that's all right Long as you're near me every night Your love so warm and tender Your thrill is so divine It is all these things that make you mine
Seamans Blues Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb and multiple other artists
On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low My good gals behind me, no loving for so long Im going back to Texas, for thats where I belong
Nights are so lonely on the ocean To much time to dream of yesterday If only I could carry out my notion And hit the trail for Texas right away
On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low My good gals behind me, no loving for so long Im going back to Texas, for thats where I belong
I never thought I was leaving I could get so blue out on the sea But Ill bet you after all this grieving Its that good old Texas soil for me
On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low My good gals behind me, no loving for so long Im going back to Texas, for thats where I belong
Suddenly It's Christmas Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III Performer(s): Loudon Wainwright III
Suddenly it's Christmas Right after Hallowe'en Forget about Thanksgiving It's just a buffet in between There's lights and tinsel in the windows They're stocking up the shelves Santa's slaving at the North Pole In his sweatshop full of elves
There's got to be a build-up To the day that Christ was born The halls are decked with pumpkins And the ears of Indian corn Dragging through the falling leaves In a one-horse open sleigh Suddenly it's Christmas Seven weeks before the day
Suddenly it's Christmas The longest holiday When they say "Season's Greetings" They mean just what they say It's a season, it's a marathon Retail eternity It's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree
Outside it's positively balmy In the air nary a nip Suddenly it's Christmas Unbuttoned and unzipped Yes, they're working overtime Santa's little runts Christmas comes but once a year And goes on for two months
Christmas carols in December And November, too It's no wonder we're depressed When the whole thing is through Finally it's January Let's sing "Auld Lang Syne" But here comes another heartache Shaped like a Valentine
Suddenly it's Christmas The longest holiday The season is upon us A pox, it won't go away It's a season, it's a marathon Retail eternity It's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree
No, it's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree It's still not over till it's over And you throw away the tree
