Sophisticated Lady Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Irving Mills - Duke Ellington First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
They say into your early life romance came And in this heart of yours burned a flame A flame that flickered one day and dies away Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes You learned that fools in love soon grow wise The years have changed you somehow I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow Nonchalant Diamonds shining, dancing, dining With some man in a restaurant Is that all you really want
No. Sophisticated lady I know You miss that love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh, you cry You cry, you cry
Hail! Hail! The Gang's All Here! Composer(s): D.A. Estron; Theodore Morse; Arthur Sullivan Performer(s): Irving Kaufman
A gang of good fellows are we (are we) Are we (are we) are we (are we) With never a worry you see (you see) You see (you see) you see (you see) We laugh and joke, we sing and smoke And live life merrily No matter the weather When we get together We have a jubilee
[Chorus]
We love one another we do (we do) We do (we do) we do (we do) With brotherly love and it's true (it's true) It's true (it's true) it's true (it's true) It's one for all, the big and small It's always me for you No matter the weather When we get together We drink a toast for two
[Chorus]
When out for a good time we go (we go) We go (we go) we go (we go) There nothing we do that is slow (is slow) Is slow (is slow) is slow (is slow) Of joy we get our share you bet The gang will tell you so No matter the weather When we get together We sing this song you know
Hail To The Chief! Composer(s): James Sanderson; Walter Scott Performer(s): The Chestnut Brass Company; and various other artists
Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander This you will do That's our strong, firm belief Hail to the one we selected as commander Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
Sophia's Lullaby Composer(s): Bob Lind Performer(s): Bob Lind
"You'll make a journey over water" The Chinese fortunes used to say Not many trust those sunny proverbs anymore But sometimes love still finds a way
Out there, this wounded world is struggling We turn our backs and let it die But you will sleep tonight, protected and secure 'Cause some one cared enough to try
These tiny whispers promise peace As daylight moves in from the East
Your little bed is made and waiting Your golden future's waiting too Some gracious hand reached through a billion hopeful dreams And chose that this one would come true
Tonight the dangers are behind you Your guiding star is bright above You came a long way over water to be here Some day you'll know how much you're loved
Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee our state so dear Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear Thy sons and daughters true Will proclaim thee near and far They shall guard thy fame And adore thy name Thou shalt be their Northern Star
Like the stream that bends to sea Like the pine that seeks the blue Minnesota, still for thee Thy sons are strong and true From thy woods and waters fair From thy prairies waving far At thy call they throng With their shout and song Hailing thee their Northern Star
Mon Cur L'aime First performance by: Kathy Leander - 1996
Seule aujourd'hui, je regarde ma vie Qui défile au gré de mes nuits Parfois je me sens égoïste et perdue Eperdument triste
Je lui ai dit qu'il s'en aille Comme une longue bataille Que je voulais gagner J'ai cru bon de tenir De ne pas le retenir Aujourd'hui me manquent les larmes
Mon cur l'aime, quand j'y pense J'ai beau me fier aux apparences Qu'il m'emmène même loin Je lui donnerai la main
Il m'a volé trop de larmes En échange il m'a laissé son âme Mais j'attendrai qu'il revienne Pour tout recommencer
Et j'ai cru que tout était rose Comme le bleu de son regard magique Qu'il n'y avait qu'à lui sourire Et lui mentir pour lui appartenir
Je lui ai dit qu'il s'en aille Comme une longue bataille Que je voulais gagner J'ai cru bon de tenir De ne pas le retenir Aujourd'hui me manquent les larmes
Mon cur l'aime, quand j'y pense J'ai beau me fier aux apparences Qu'il m'emmène même loin Je lui donnerai la main
Il m'a volé trop de larmes En échange il m'a laissé son âme Mais j'attendrai qu'il revienne Pour tout recommencer
Mon cur l'aime, quand j'y pense J'ai beau me fier aux apparences Qu'il m'emmène même loin Je lui donnerai la main
Il m'a volé trop de larmes En échange il m'a laissé son âme Mais j'attendrai qu'il revienne Pour tout recommencer
Mon cur l'aime, quand j'y pense J'ai beau me fier aux apparences Qu'il m'emmène même loin Je lui donnerai la main
Hail Caesar Composer(s): Angus Young; Malcolm Young Performer(s): AC/DC
He be the count of Monte Cristo
Could be a quake any day Maybe somebody from Siam Begin the era of a new rage Keeps lickin' all the honey Chewin' up the fat he rakes Instead of sending to the lions They cover him with praise
All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail! All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!
Down at the epicenter Things started heatin' up Rockin' on the richter scale [Rockin' up the richter scale] Swinging in the chariot Around and around we go The senators rehearse the tale Starring in the coliseum Tied upon the rack Up comes the thumb of Caesar To stab you in the back
All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail! All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!
Down at the epicenter Things started heatin' up Rockin' on the richter scale Swingin' in the chariot Around and around we go the Senators rehearse the tale
Watch out Caesar, watch out Caesar
[I said hail, I said hail! I said Hail, I said Hail!
Hail Hail Hail Hail Hail Hail Hail Hail Hail]
[All hail Caesar, hail, hail! All hail Caesar, hail, hail! All hail Caesar, hail, hail! All hail Caesar, hail, hail!
You need eyes in the back of your head boy, or you're dead]
Hagamos El Amor Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Tiempos buenos tiempos malos tiempos de aprender caminar con libros bajo el brazo
Tiempos duros tiempos blandos tiempos de crecer viviendo con el miedo de un soldado
Hoy no hubo viento nada llegó hasta mí es que, mi ventana, está cerrada no puedo volar alguien me esta usando las alas
Y es muy raro, que te vea llorando de pie como una muñequita en la escalera Te engaño la tarde te dio la llave rota
Por favor, mira a tu alrededor el mundo no para de girar Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor, solo el amor
Se ha llegado muy, muy lejos en el juego atroz del héroe y su venganza organizada
No hay triunfos porque, no hay combates yo ya me cansé de andar mostrando el alma siempre en guardia Es a todo o nada siempre lo será
Tiempos negros tiempos blancos te buscaré volando en mi planeta de segunda no te pruebes no otro cuerpo no te esperaré goloso como un lobo en la penumbra. Podes vaciar la bolsa no hay mucho que llevar
Por favor, mira a tu alrededor el mundo no para de girar Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor, solo el amor
Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor Ay, Ay, dame tu dolor y hagamos el amor, solo el amor

Hafa Café Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
La luna sobre Tánger velaba la noche de Alá cuando nos encontramos en el cabaret del Chellah Cruzamos las miradas te dije: "Salam alekom" pero el recepcionista nos dijo: "At this moment, no room"... Te recordé desnuda bajo el ciclo protector tomando té adormecida sobre tu chador cuando te amé en las terrazas del Hafa Café Hafa Café No había ningún taxi La Kasbah olía a el m'ra y un par de policías corrían tras Alí Babá Subimos monte arriba por sendas de flores de azahar... el Hafa, en la colina miraba, a lo lejos, el mar Te recordé desnuda bajo el cielo protector tomando té adormecida sobre tu chador cuando te amé en las terrazas del Hafa Café Hafa Café El Hafa era un aroma de cuero a la menta con hasch En un rincón, Míck Jagger Te vio y su mirada fue un flash! Se acerco a nuestra mesa con ojos de vil seductor y te cantó: "Marhaba We'll do it right here on the floor" Te recordé desnuda bajo el ciclo protector tomando té adormecida sobre tu chador cuando te amé en las terrazas del Hafa Café Hafa Café
Had To Cry Today Composer(s): Steve Winwood Performer(s): Blind Faith; and various other artists
It's already written that today will be one to remember The feeling is the same as being outside of the law Had to cry today Well I saw your sign and I missed you there I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes While I listen You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free Had to cry today Well I saw your sign and I missed you there And I missed you there Its already written that today will be one to remember The feeling is the same as being outside of the law Had to cry today Well I saw your sign and I missed you there I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes While I listen You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free Had to cry today Well I saw your sign and I missed you there Had to cry today (repeated five times)
In A Woman's Heart Composer(s): Paul Abela - Alfred C. Sant First performance by: Miriam Christine - 1996
Like a circle goin' round in my mind Forever searchin' an answer I can't find Strange attraction man, you weave it so well Pure fascination, I'm under your spell
Here I go again ignoring my senses Nothing stops this love, and only a fool will tell
In a woman's heart, a dream is for life any day In a woman's heart, together's an evening prayer As I think of you, I'm wonderin' what halved us apart There you go again forsakin' a woman's heart
Once you promised, seemed so true and sincere Like rhymin' verses, sweet words rang in my ear It ain't easy on tough moments like these No pride can save me, I'm down on my knees
I can't free myself, I wasted my chances Knockin' on your door, just let me in, hear my plea
In a woman's heart, a dream is for life any day In a woman's heart, together's an evening prayer As I think of you, I'm hopin' once more for a start Every now and then you're breakin' a woman's heart
'Cause I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin') Mmm, out of a woman's heart Just keep right on heavin' Beatin' for love that fell apart Woman's heart
Ooh, whooh There you go again Woman's heart
In a woman's heart, a dream is for life any day Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (In a woman's heart) As I think of you, I'm hopin' once more for a start Every now and then you're breakin' a woman's heart, heart, heart (In a woman's heart) Woman, woman (In a woman's heart) Woman's heart
Sooner Or Later Composer(s): Mitchell Bottler - Ted McNamara - Ekundayo Paris - Adenyi Jacob Paris - Gary Zekley Performer(s): The Grass Roots
Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl you got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win
It's just a matter of time Before you make up your mind To give all that love that you've been hiding It's just a question of when I've told you time and again I'll get all the love you've been denying
Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl you got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win
You say you'll never be mine But darling they'll come a time I'll taste all that love that you've been hiding It's just a question of time Before you make up your mind And give all that love you've been denying
You've been looking for love In all the wrong places You've been looking for love All the wrong faces Gotta get ya girl On this illusion Gonna save your heart From all this confusion
Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl you got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win Love is gonna win
It's just a matter of time Before you make up your mind And give all the love that you've been hiding It's just a question of when Told you time and again I'll get all the love you've been denying
Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl you got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl you got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Had Je Niet Die Mooie Blauwe Ogen Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
Meisje, wat heb jij op je geweten Meisje, wat heb jij me aangedaan Ik kan niet meer werken, niet meer eten Al mijn levenslust is naar de maan
Dat ik jou, mijn schat, heb leren kennen Was heel treurig voor ons allebei Ik ging van je houen Maar ik kan je niet vertrouwen Meisjelief, je bent geen vrouw voor mij
refr.: Had je niet die mooie blauwe ogen Had je niet dat ravenzwarte haar Dan was ik er nimmer ingevlogen Was er nimmer voor mijn rust gevaar
Maar als jij me aankijkt met die kijkers Is het alsof ik in de diepte glijd Dan vergeef ik alles, je zonden en je fouten En alles is weer voorbij
Waarom ben je toch zo wispelturig Meisje, dat doet mij zoveel verdriet Zijn we samen, wordt jij ongedurig Voel je dan mijn hartepijnen niet
Ik heb geprobeerd je te vergeten Omdat dat voor mij het beste is Ik probeer al weken Voorgoed met je te breken Maar als ik je zie is het weer mis
refr.
Maar als jij me aankijkt met die kijkers Is het alsof ik in de diepte glijd Dan vergeef ik alles, je zonden en je fouten En alles is weer voorbij
Meisjelief, ik wou dat ik je kon haten Jij bent wel lichtzinnig maar niet slecht Zou je maar je streken kunnen laten Dan kwam alles wel voorgoed terecht
Waarom doe je al die malle dingen Heb je aan 1 jongen niet genoeg Kan je dan niet trouw zijn Een degelijke vrouw zijn Het was toch niet zo veel wat ik je vroeg
refr.
Maar als jij me aankijkt met die kijkers Is het alsof ik in de diepte glijd Dan vergeef ik alles, je zonden en je fouten En alles is weer voorbij
Hacia El Porvenir Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Hacia el porvenir partieron sombras Rumbo a mañana algo de oscuridad fue a sobrevivir, porque el sol de hoy no pudo más
No estarán completas las auroras Quejas de mí lucirá la claridad porque lo que yo tanto pretendí demorará
Por más que quise bendecirme y más purificarme yo era carne yo era yo Lo que con amor hacía una mano lo rompía con otra el desamor Yo no creo que haya sido en vano pero pudo ser mucho mejor
Hacia el porvenir partieron sombras Cuando no alcance, sólo podré alertar Si alguien me oye allí, no se olvide pues de iluminar
