Predicción De La Fiesta Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Enciende amigo tu alegría y tu hoguera que se acerca el tiempo de la vida Quemad, quememos las palabras antiguas las palabras del miedo y de la muerte
Y ven, mira que la fiesta empieza ven Sobre los muros, los estanques, las plazas sobre el viento y la roca escribiremos la poesía que asalte con payasos y pólvora la ciudad del agobio y la costumbre
Y ven, mira que la fiesta empieza ven Instituciones alambradas y leyes hombres de estado y otras antigüedades serán recuerdos, pesadillas lejanas que estudiará algún sabio bajo los árboles
So You Think You've Got Troubles Composer(s): Marvin Rainwater Performer(s): Marvin Rainwater
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
My car sounds like an old tin can My wife went off with another man And I strained a muscle of my fishing hand My income tax is due
Now I lost my money in a poker game And I think my left leg is a-goin' lame My brother asked if I'd change my name And that's what I think I'll do
My doctor told me not to smoke Drink nothing stronger than a coke I'm not even supposed to hear dirty jokes For I'd laugh and strain my heart I had every ailment known to man From the African mumps to a dishpan hands I lost every race that I ever ran
I didn't even get a start
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
Now some people call me a pessimist They say that I oughta make the best of this Well, maybe I am a pessimist That's something that I wouldn't know But one thing I do know, I'll tell you right now
I'm a-milkin' the wrong end of this old cow There's to many wrinkles in this boy's brow That stuff has got to go
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
So I put me a bar in the back of my car And drive myself to drink!
Precisamente, Tú Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Me dicen que has hablado mal de mi No lo comprendo Me dicen que tu has dicho no se que Me habran mentido Pues no concibo que seas tu Precisamente, tu
Tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu Que tanto me has amado
Tu, que si el mundo me hubieses pedido Lo hubiera robado por dartelo a ti Y que si pena veia en tus ojos Hacia el payaso por verte reir
Tu, tu, tu, tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu No puede ser verdad
Y aunque el sol y la luna me digan Que si que te oyeron de mi murmurar Yo dire que no, que es mentira Tu no puedes hablar mal de mi
Tu, que si el mundo me hubieses pedido Lo hubiera robado por dartelo a ti Y que si pena veia en tus ojos Hacia el payaso por verte reir
Tu, tu, tu, tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu No puede ser verdad
Y aunque el sol y la luna me digan Que si que te oyeron de mi murmurar Yo dire que no, que es mentira Tu no puedes, tu no puedes Tu no debes hablar mal de mi
Johnny Blue First performance by: Lena Valaitis - 1981
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder Blue Blue Blue Jhonny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu
Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde, denn keiner wollt'spielen mit einem der blind war wie er, und er saß meist zu Hause die Jungen dort draußen, die riefen bloß hinter ihm her
Sie riefen Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne? Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - Kinder können grausam sein
Auf der alten Gitarre, die ihm jemand schenkte da spielte er - sie war sein Freund, seine Lieder die klangen nach Hoffnung und Freude und manchmal als ob jemand weint
Und er sang Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - und die Kinder hörten zu
Und bald spielte keiner so wie er seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz und er malte Farben aus Musik und vergaß all seinen Schmerz
Und bald kamen zehntausend zu seinen Konzerten denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft an die Zukunft zu glauben im Dunkel des Lebens, er hatte es selber geschafft
Oh, Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und sie kamen immer wieder Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, keiner spielt so schön wie du Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu
Precious Love Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Bob Welch
You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby You got a head on your shoulders, you know what I mean You got legs so long like you could walk on air For you darlin', I'd go anywhere
(chorus) For your love, your precious love I'd do anything, yes I would I want your love, your precious love I've been too lonely too long
You got a kind of walk that's just so fine The way you fill those blue jeans baby, my my my Yes and when you smiled at me like you did just now All I want is just to get to you somehow
(repeat chorus)
Yeah those big dark eyes that flash at me It's just your precious love that I want, you to see
So Wrong Composer(s): Danny Dill - Carl Perkins - Mel Tillis Performer(s): Patsy Cline and multiple other artists
I've been so wrong, for so long Thought I could live without the love that you give I was wrong, oh, so wrong I've been so wrong, for so long I didn't know that I loved you so I was wrong
Well, I never knew I could want you darlin' Oh, so much Now that you're gone, I dream of you And your sweet touch I was so wrong, for so long But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right I was wrong
Well, I never knew I could want you darlin' Oh, so much Now that you're gone, I dream of you And your sweet touch I was so wrong, for so long But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right I was wrong
Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered Way deep in the grave lies the gal that I love She was called from this earth a jewel for heaven More precious than diamonds more precious than gold
A jewel here on earth a jewel in heaven She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne May the angels have peace God bless her in heaven They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam
When a girl of sixteen we courted each other She promised someday to become my sweet wife I bought her the ring to wear on her finger But the angels they called her in heaven one night
This world has left its wealth its trials and troubles The earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold But they can't hold the soul of one precious jewel She's resting in peace in the heavenly fold
Precious And Few Composer(s): Walter Nims Performer(s): Climax
Precious and few are the moments we two can share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Baby, it's you on my mind, your love is so rare Being with you is a feeling I just can't compare And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
And if I can't find my way back home it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
Precious and few are the moments we two can share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
The One That Got Away Composer(s): Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Out with someone new almost ev'ry day People look at me, I can hear them say He's so lucky, he has everything going his way
I can't let them know that I really don't I'm not with the one that I really want And I'm still in love with the one that got away
The one that got away took all my love, not just a part The one that got away, got away with my heart
If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Prayers On Fire Composer(s): Nick Cave Performer(s): The Birthday Party
This place is hell to me With the devil in my bed And the devil in this bottle And the devil in my head I'll meet you in heaven again If you wear that dress again (I'll have one more drink, my friend) Where my heart is kept on ice And prayers burst into flames Prayers on fire
Pick Me Up On Your Way Down (French Version: J'attendrai Le Prochain Train - 1975) Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release by: Charlie Walker - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
You were mine for just a while Now you're puttin' on the style And you've never once looked back At your home across the track You're the gossip of the town But my heart can still be found Where you tossed it on the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When their glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude Made you haughty and so rude Your new friends can take the blame Underneath you're still the same When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you As you tumble to the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When the glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): Kay Kyser; and various other artists
Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate Down went the gunner, then the gunner's mate Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look And manned the gun himself as he laid aside The Book, shouting...
"Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"
Praise The Lord, and swing into position Can't afford to sit around a-wishin' Praise The Lord, we're all between perdition And the deep blue sea"
Yes, the sky pilot said it You've got to give him credit For a son-of-a-gun of a gunner was he Shouting...
"Praise The Lord, we're on a mighty mission All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin' Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"

T'aimer Follement (English, German, & Italian Versions: Makin' Love; So Verrückt; T'amero' Dolcemente) Composer(s): Floyd Robinson - André Salvet - Jacques Plait Performer(s): Dalida
Tout autour de nous Les gens sont jaloux Ils me reprochent surtout D'avoir pour toi des yeux trop doux Et de t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Ça n'est pas gentil Mais ça m'est égal Je me moque de ce qu'on dit Car moi je trouve que c'est normal De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Je pense à chaque instant Que tout peut m'arriver Mais mon cur ne peut changer Il sera toujours vraiment content De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Un jour si tu veux On peut partir tous deux Partir en se moquant De ceux qui enragent en nous voyant Nous aimer follement Mon amour Nous aimer follement Nuit et jour
Ah que la vie est douce Quand on est amoureux Un rien me rend heureux Le ciel est plus bleu et tout me pousse À t'aimer follement Mon amour À t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Mais quand tu n'es pas là Je pense encore à toi Car je sais que tu reviendras Et personne au monde ne m'empêchera De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Power Play Composer(s): John Kay Performer(s): Steppenwolf; Etta James
What gives you the right hey you To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from living like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in
Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
This never ending power play "between Jealous greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let them know that we're awake
Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breaking from your strangle hold on their minds Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushing round They just might find you obsolete
Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
