Si Lloras, Si Ries
(Adapted from: Se Piangi, Se Ridi - 1965)
(English Version: If You Cry, If You Laugh)
Composer(s): G. Marchetti; Mogol Audio 2; Roberto Satti
Performer(s): Mina
Si lloras, mi vida
yo lloro por ti
porque formas parte de mi
Sonríe siempre
si en tu querer
no puedes verme jamás feliz
Si ríes, mi vida
yo río por ti
porque formas parte de mi
Recuerda siempre
con lo que harás
mi vida toda la llenarás
No estarás solo
aún cuando tu
tu te halles lejos de mi
Cada momento
donde estas
cerca de ti tu me tendrás
Si lloras, si ríes
contigo estoy
porque formo parte de ti
Recuerda siempre
con lo que harás
mi vida toda la llenarás
Si El Amor Se Acaba Me Voy (French Version: Quand Je N'aime Plus Je M'en Vais) Composer(s): Henri Belolo; C. Cantelis; A. Marco Performer(s): Dalida
La rutina no llegará jamás a invadir nuestro amor Y si ves que ya no estoy aquí, deja pues de pensar en mí No te empeñes en llorar y verás que muy pronto me olvidarás Yo soy así Oh ooooooh, así
Si el amor se acaba me voy No vale la pena me voy Si el amor se va me voy con él Odio las mentiras me voy Todo se termina siempre Siempre, siempre digo la verdad
Imagina un aeropuerto espacial y una nave que despega Nadie sabe cuando volverá quizá ya nunca más
Es imposible saber nadie puede alcanzarla en la eternidad Yo soy así Oh ooooooh, así
Si el amor se acaba me voy No vale la pena me voy Si el amor se va me voy con él
Odio las mentiras, me voy Todo se termina siempre Siempre, siempre digo la verdad
Si el amor se acaba me voy No vale la pena me voy Si el amor se va me voy con él
Odio las mentiras, me voy Todo se termina siempre Siempre, siempre digo la verdad
Si el amor se acaba me voy No vale la pena me voy Si el amor se va me voy con él
He Had Refinement Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Dorothy Fields Performer(s): Shirley Booth and multiple other artists
If I ever seen a Prince, my Harry was him Always smelled from peppermints, his person was trim His voice was passionate, soulful his face was He never took no liberties, he knew what his place was
He'd say, "Pardon my glove", politely when he shook my hand And he'd pass me the evenin' paper after his soup got fanned He only used four-letter words I didn't understand He had refinement
He would never sit down to the table, but what his shirt was on Or come out of the bathroom drippin' like a dyin' swan Or call a visitor a slob until the slob had gone He had refinement.
One time he said "May I suggest you call a lady's chest a chest instead of her points of interest" Dainty....ain't he?
He was shy and awful modest, 'cause he was so high bred When the wind blew up my bloomers, did his face get red He undressed with all the lights off....until we was wed He had refinement.
He would walk next to the gutter, so I shouldn't get hit With a pillow he'd kill mosquitoes, so I shouldn't get bit Only certain kind exertions for me he'd permit He had refinement
In the water at Coney Island was our first embrace When my water wings flew off and hit 'im in the face He introduced himself before he put 'em back in place He had refinement.
At Luna Park all night we sat Our food got cold, our beer got flat I saw what he was driving at I should've forbid it....but I did it
He had such respect and feelin's all our married life Just the thought that he might hurt me cut 'im like a knife And so he never told me that he had another wife He had refinement
Refinement! A gentleman to his fingernails was he!
Si El Amor Alguna Vez Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Si el amor alguna vez fuera algo más que dos espejos frente a frente o el miedo al tiempo que no vuelve que se escapa, victorioso sin pedir perdón no sería el ave que voló Si el amor alguna vez fuera algo más que encuentro de almas solitarias en el rechazo de ser nada que no es nada sino toda la desolación no sería la más pesada de las cadenas el pozo seco de la tristeza ni la herida que nunca cicatriza Si el amor alguna vez fuera algo más que la necesidad urgente de que los cuerpos se alimenten con los cuerpos perpetuando su contradicción no sería sustento del dolor Si el amor alguna vez fuera algo más que dos verdugos inconscientes jugando al juego de la muerte con la vida que se entrega a la inmolación no sería la más pesada de las cadenas el pozo seco de la tristeza ni la herida que nunca cicatriza
Si Les Femmes Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Aux côtés d'Eve Je m'imagine Perdu dans mes rêves Si les femmes Changeaient le monde... De nouvelles valeurs Avant que nos mômes Ne subissent nos erreurs Si les femmes changeaient le monde...
Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent Un peu d'chaleur humaine De la douceur de vivre Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent De nos moments de haine De toutes nos dérives
Ecoutez l'histoire De celles qui donnent La vie et l'espoir Si les femmes changeaient le monde... Elles ont du courage Moins égoïstes et souvent plus sages Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...
Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent Un peu d'chaleur humaine De la douceur de vivre Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent De nos moments de haine De toutes nos dérives
La violence, c'est tellement banal Et l'argent donne tout les droits L'indifférence nous laisse les mains sales Qui de nous a voulu cela C'est pas vous C'est pas moi C'est pas moi
Révolution douce C'est l'idéal féminin que j'épouse Si les femmes, changeaient le monde... Aux côtés d'Eve Partir en cavale Poursuivi par ce rêve
Si les femmes, changeaient le monde... Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...

I Don't Think About Her No More (aka Poison Red Berries) Composer(s): Mickey Newbury Performer(s): Don Williams and multiple other artists
I dont think much about her no more Seldom if ever does she cross my mind Yesterday's gone, its better forgotten Like the poison red berries to die, on the vine
This morning at dawn Lord I pulled into town Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine Laughing at the good times they remembered Then I remembered a time
Lord I can still see the bright lights back in Dallas As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind I didnt suppose that Id ever forget her And you know it took such a long time
But I dont think much about her no more Seldom if ever does she cross my mind Yesterday's gone, Lord its better forgotten Like the poison red berries that cling, to the mind
With Bells On Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers; Michelle Visage
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the trees and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
I've traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives It's Christmas time again another year has come and gone And I can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright And the kids are singing jingle bells around the Christmas lights As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on There ain't nothing going to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home
I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
Si Le Bon Dieu L'avait Voulu Composer(s): Paul Fort; Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Si le Bon Dieu l'avait voulu - lanturette, lanturlu - j'aurais connu la Cléopâtre, et je t'aurais pas connue J'aurais connu la Cléopâtre, et je ne t'aurais pas connue Sans ton amour que j'idolâtre, las! que fussé-je devenu?
Si le Bon Dieu l'avait voulu j'aurais connu la Messaline, Agnès, Odette et Mélusine, et je ne t'aurais pas connue J'aurais connu la Pompadour, Noémi, Sarah, Rebecca la Fille du Royal Tambour, et la Mogador et Clara
Mais le Bon Dieu n'a pas voulu que je connaisse leurs amours je t'ai connue, tu m'as connu - gloire à Dieu au plus haut des nues! - Las! que fussé-je devenu sans toi la nuit, sans toi le jour? Je t'ai connue, tu m'as connu - gloire à Dieu au plus haut des nues!
Si Chiamava Gesù Composer(s): Fabrizio de André Performer(s): Fabrizio de André
Venuto da molto lontano a convertire bestie e gente non si può dire non sia servito a niente perché prese la terra per mano vestito di sabbia e di bianco alcuni lo dissero santo per altri ebbe meno virtù si faceva chiamare Gesù
Non intendo cantare la gloria né invocare la grazia e il perdono di chi penso non fu altri che un uomo come Dio passato alla storia ma inumano è pur sempre l'amore di chi rantola senza rancore perdonando con l'ultima voce chi lo uccide fra le braccia di una croce
E per quelli che l'ebbero odiato nel getzemani pianse l'addio come per chi l'adorò come Dio che gli disse sia sempre lodato per chi gli portò in dono alla fine una lacrima o una treccia di spine accettando ad estremo saluto la preghiera l'insulto e lo sputo
E morì come tutti si muore come tutti cambiando colore non si può dire non sia servito a molto perché il male dalla terra non fu tolto Ebbe forse un po' troppe virtù ebbe un nome ed un volto: Gesù Di Maria dicono fosse il figlio sulla croce sbiancò come un giglio
I Miss A Lot Of Trains Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Dick Curless
When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track Your havin' trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back But that old train will roll on by, you'll know I never came While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
Your standin' in the station I can see you in my mind You think that I'll forgive again but your so wrong this time Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waitin' there in vain While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains

Titles In Other Languages: 1978 - Et Vinterhvidt Vidunderland 2000 - Au Royaume Du Bonhomme Hiver
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say are you married We'll so no man, But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we made Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Si La France Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Dalida
Si la France se mariait avec elle-même Si un jour elle se disait enfin je t'aime Elle inventerait la ronde qui épouserait le monde Si la France s'embrassait un jour qui sait
Pour la rose et le lilas en harmonie La main gauche et la main droite enfin unies Le bleuet près du muguet ce bouquet est jeune et gai Qui marie toutes les couleurs en quelques fleurs
Il faudra bien apprendre à vivre ensemble Dans le besoin et les baisers Avec tes voisins, tes cousins, tes gendres Tes enfants de curs opposés
Toi l'éternelle maman célibataire Qui voudrait dormir avec toute la terre Que de serments éternels avec des lunes de miel Pour finir en coup de tête après la fête
Pauvre Jeanne, la lorraine et Henri quatre Vercingétorix par qui t'es-tu fait battre Où sont cachés les amis c'est la saint Barthélémy Et la France en plein été décapitée
Femme qui tourne contre toi tes armes Au cur des combats de quartier Il ne te reste parfois que les larmes Pour retrouver ton amitié
Si la France se mariait avec elle-même Si un jour elle se disait enfin je t'aime Elle inventerait la ronde qui épouserait le monde Si la France s'embrassait un jour qui sait
Will Santy Come To Shanty Town? Composer(s): Eddy Arnold; Steve Nelson; Ed Nelson Jr. Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Will Santy come to Shanty Town to a poor littly boy like me? Will he bring me some toys like the other girls and boys? Will Santy come to Shanty Town if he sees our Christmas tree? Mommy said he would if I promised to be good.
For we don't have a fireplace or a chimney on our shack Like the other lucky children have who live across the track Now, if I say my pray'rs each day, when Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
Will Santy come to Shanty Town to a poor little boy like me? Will he bring me some toys like the other girls and boys? Will Santy come to Shanty Town if he sees our Christmas tree? Mommy said he would if I promised to be good
He didn't stop last Christmas Eve, doesn't he know we live here? Will my mommy have to paint my toys the way she did las year? Now, if I say my pay'rs each day, when Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
Idle On Parade Composer(s): Len Praverman Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Blue Cats
This is a camp that is a-mighty tough Were the marchin' men are made But I am a guy who doesn't dig that stuff And I'm idle on parade
There is a man, a Sergeant-Major Lush And he has got to be obeyed (Yeah!) And in a voice just like a little thrush He says I'm idle on parade
Now, when they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on parade
When they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on para-a-a-a-a-ade (Idle on paraa-a-a-ade)
Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit You can't fire me, I quit since I don't fit in Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit Just because my nose glows why don't I fit in?
Whos Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year Composer(s): Byron Baker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Weve spent so many Christmass together And our love filled them all with cheer But now Im spending Christmas without you So Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Whos gonna put those gifts beneath your Christmas Tree? Whos gonna pay the bills for your Christmas shopping spree? And on this Christmas Eve, whos gonna hug you close and near? Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Ah Leon
We use to sit beside the fire together And wait for the dawn of Christmas to appear But on this Christmas Eve I have to wonder Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Whos gonna put those gifts beneath your Christmas Tree? Whos gonna pay the bills for your Christmas shopping spree? And on this Christmas Eve, whos gonna hug you close and near? Honey, Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
'Cause it's been so long since I held you tight When we said goodnight It's been so long, honey, can't you see What you've done to me?
I've been in a kind of daze For days and days and days Feelin' blue, missin' you In, oh, so many ways
'Cause it was so nice when we had that date Every night at eight, it was so nice Then we said goodbye, what a fool was I Let me get back in your arms where I belong
