Yo No Permito Composer(s): Lito Nebbia Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Yo sé que no puedo morir, por ahora y la razón es que estoy muy ocupado pero suceden cosas diariamente que intentan liquidar mis sentimientos pero yo no hago caso Yo no permito que me impidan seguir yo los invito a que me vean seguir Y si lo intento es porque estoy convencido que para lograr algo hay que insistir Me encontré ayer con un pibe de quince me preguntó que cómo había hecho yo no quise aburrirlo con mi rollo de que aún sigo intentando y pensé que era mejor decirle Yo no permito que me impidan seguir yo los invito a que me vean seguir Y si lo intento es porque estoy convencido que para lograr algo hay que insistir
Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie) Composer(s): Pierre Kartner First performance by: Sieneke - 2010
Ik ben vergeten waar ik dit liedje heb gehoord, in de zomerzon Ik geloof dat het toen daar met jou op het strand was in Lissabon Of was het daar toen in Parijs Achter een coupe vers mokka-ijs? Het kan ook zijn dat het was met z'n tweeën boven zee in een luchtballon
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Het gaat niet uit m'n kop Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op Ik ben verliefd op jou, daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala zo gaat het ongeveer
Ik ben verliefd ik ben verliefd Ik ben verliefd, dat kun je zo zien
Het kan ook zijn dat ik samen met jou in een vliegtuig naar Oslo zat Of kwam het uit een café in zo'n straatje, we waren in Trinidad Of was het met een goed glas wijn Op dat terrasje in Berlijn? Of was het Moskou waar ik m'n eerste kus van jou heb gehad? Hoe kan ik dat, hoe kan ik dat Hoe kan ik dat, hoe kan ik dat Hoe kan ik dat nou vergeten?
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Het gaat niet uit m'n kop Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op
Ik ben verliefd op jou Daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Zo gaat het ongeveer
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Het gaat niet uit m'n kop Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op
Ik ben verliefd op jou Daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Zo gaat het ongeveer Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala Ja, ik weet het alweer
Yo Fui El Segundo En Tu Vida Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo; Andy Andy; Pedro Arroyo
De acuerdo que él fué el primero y que te amó antes que yo y que bebió de tu vida el primer sorbo de amor De acuerdo que conquistara por primera vez, tu piel pero fué sólo deseo y no te llegó a querer Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí pero el primero a la vez él se llevó tu inocencia pero yo te hice mujer Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí pero el primero en amor el que te abrió con caricias y el que más te conoció A él le faltó la ternura y fué torpe con tu amor por el deseo de saciarse jamás de ti, se acordó Yo te borré esa tristeza que al marcharse te dejó y te hice una paloma que por mi cuerpo voló Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí pero el primero a la vez él se llevó tu inocencia pero yo te hice mujer Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí pero el primero en amor el que te abrió con caricias y el que más te conoció
Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time Honey, they were hittin' close to home
And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time I'd sure like to spend the night with you
And she said - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you
Maybe you got all you got together Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise And leave you just a little more alone
Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you
Keep Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you
Yo Era El Capitan Composer(s): Roque Narvaja Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Recuerdo cuando era niño el verano familiar la vida era un partido muy facil de ganar los años trajeron las guerras que nos iban a salvar las promesas el futuro la derrota trajo la paz
Dondeesta mi alazán mi espada de madera yo era el capitan ganaba las batallas sin luchar y desfilaba frente a mi mama ella me hacia la veña yo llevaba la bandera
Ya se acabo el comunismo se acabo la era nuclear se acabaron las ideas se acabo la caridad los años trajeron impuestos para la prosperidad soy mayor para el trabajo pero no para pagar Donde esta la dignidad la risa de mis hijos yo era el capitan ganaba las batallas sin matar y merendabamos con mi mama ella me hacia la veña yo llevaba la bandera como les digo que no juego mas
Stranger Composer(s): Pete Sears - Jeanette Sears Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Raindrops falling Winter feels so gloomy Hear a knock upon my door Stranger calling Eyes that look like mine He said you know I've called before
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger Should I know your name Did we meet some time ago I feel uncertain Shadows whisper to me now Sudden wind begins to blow
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Darkened doorways Strangest things can happen Don't know who you're talking to Find yourself When lightning strikes you now You could be looking back at you
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger!
Familiar stranger Should I know your name Did we meet some time ago Are you someone I should know Did we meet some time ago

Yo Composer(s): Villarrojas; J.L. Armenteros Performer(s): Raphael
Yo, que vivia tranquilo En este mismo lugar Yo, que miraba las rosas En primavera brotar Yo, que soñaba despierto Con el sol, con el aire y el mar
Yo, que veia los dias Tras los cristales pasar Yo, que vivia tranquilo Sin conocer que era amar Se que era un mundo distinto Al que tu me quisiste mostrar
Siempre vivire del recuerdo, si Y siempre soñare con tu pelo, si Y siempre pensare que estas cerca Aunque no estes aqui
Nunca te tendre ya en mis brazos, no Y nunca volvere a acariciarte, no Y nunca besare mas tu boca Nunca, nunca jamas
Yo, ahora vivo en la sombra Tu sabe dios donde estas Yo me quede aqui vacio Tu te has marchado sin mas Ya me conformo tan solo Con soñar que algun dia vendras
Strange World Composer(s): Steve Harris First release by: Iron Maiden - 1980
The only place where you can dream living here is not what it seems Ship of white light in the sky nobody there to reason why Here I am, I'm not really there smiling faces ever so rare A let's walk in deepest space living here just isn't the place Stalks of light come from the ground when I cry there isn't a sound All my feelings cannot be held I'm happy in my new strange world Shades of green grasses twine girls drinking plasma wine A look at love, a dream unfolds living here, you'll never grow old Don't you hear me call? Ooh
Yo Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; and various other artists
Ando borracho, ando tomando porque el destino cambio mi suerte Ya tu cariño nada me importa mi corazon te olvido pa' siempre
Fuiste en mi vida un sentimiento que destrozo toditita mi alma Quise matarme por tu cariño pero volvi a recobrar la calma
Yo...yo que tanto llore por tus besos yo...yo que siempre te hable sin mentiras hoy...solo puedo brindarte desprecio yo...yo que tanto te quise en la vida...
Una gitana leyo en mi mano que con el tiempo me acordaria esa gitana ha adivinado pero tu vida ya no es la mia
Hoy mi destino lleva otro rumbo tu corazon se quedo muy lejos si ahora me quieres, si ahora me extrañas yo te abandono pa' estar parejos
My Dream Composer(s): Jason Cassar - Sunny Aquilina First performance by: Thea Garrett - 2010
We used to say that dreams could be so true Where am I? What will I be? It's my dream which I could share with you A new day for you and me Just a smile with warmth in my heart and go all the way There's so much in life and I'll sing
This is my dream, I want to make it really happen And make my dream come true This is my dream, I'll make it if I just believe it In a fairytale I'll live it, just like a new born star
Fly above like a seagull on the waves And the sun will shine upon your face Just believe, follow your heart and make it happen Grow much brighter and we'll say
This is my dream, I want to make it really happen And make my dream come true This is my dream, I'll make it if i just believe it There is nothing that could stop me I just want the world to know
This is my dream, and I know that I'll be strong It will come true because I know I'll make it happen This is my dream

Here we are on a summer night, staring at the sea Tell me is there something wrong? You know you can talk to me I can hear it in your voice, I can see it in your eyes There's a stillness in the air that makes me wanna cry
Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather for you and I
We've been through so much together, But nothing quite like this Something's come between us now, I can't feel it in your kiss So tell me girl what's in your heart, Just put your hand in mine I feel the storm is coming soon And we're running out of time
Strange weather, somehow we'll survive Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather for you and I
So think it over one last time, don't say this is the end Cause I remember how it use to be, And it can be that way again
Strange weather, somehow we'll survive Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather, for you and I

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Ik weet (Ik Kan Niet Zonder Jou) (Corry Brokken) 1965 - Y Por Tanto (Charles Aznavour)
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know
Someday I hope I wake up feeling differently And find at last that you and I are through I'll be free of the love that has chained me to you Yet I know, Yet I know You won't believe that I am really leaving you And that I'll take back my heart with no regrets Not a tear, not a sigh, I'll just say "Goodbye" Then I'll turn and walk out of your life And forget
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know
I'll find two arms, two other lips to welcome me And you'll become a faded memory Out of site, out of mind and my heart will be free Yet I know, yet I know You'll think I'm weak and I'll come running back to you So you'll be strong and play the waiting game Don't wait too many years when I dry my tears And I'll almost forget how you look And your name
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yet I know
What For? Composer(s): Janis Lusens - Guntars Racs First performance by: Aisha - 2010
I've asked my angels why, but they don't know What for do mothers cry and rivers flow? Why are the skies so blue and mountains high? What for is your love always passing by?
I've asked my uncle Joe, but he can't speak Why does the wind still blow and blood still leaks? So many questions now with no reply What for do people live until they die?
What for are we living? What for are we crying? What for are we dying? Only Mr God knows why
What for are we living? What for are we dreaming? What for are we losing? Only Mr God knows why
But his phone today is out of range
The sun in colour black is rising high The time is turning back, I wonder why So many questions now with no reply What for do people live until they die?
What for are we living? What for are we crying? What for are we dying? Only Mr God knows why
What for are we living? What for are we dreaming? What for are we losing? Only Mr God knows why
(What for are we living?) What for we're living? (What for are we crying?) Crying (What for are we dying?) Dying (Only Mr God knows why) Mr God knows why
(What for are we living?) (What for are we dreaming?) Dreaming (What for are we losing?) (Only Mr God knows why) Only God knows why

What happened to the world we knew When we would dream and scheme And while the time away Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Where did it go that yester glow When we could feel The wheel of life turn our way Yesterme yesteryou yesterday I had a dream so did you life Was warm and love was true Two kids who followed all the rules Yester folls and now Now it seems those yester dreams Were just a cruel And foolish game we used to play Yesterme yesteryou yesterday When I recall what we had I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but The memory of yester love and now Now it seems those yester dreams Were just a cruel And foolish game we had to play Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Sing with me Yesterme yesteryou yesterday One more time.....
Strange Street Affair Under Blue Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley
Just for you with your open hands Waiting for the touch of man Clutching with your blackened gloves You try to capture all the doves That flee into The forest before you
You wish to catch and cage me now I wonder if you remember how Hard it was to say the names Of mirror dreams and cheated games And on the wall You framed your first lover
Your form intrigues me with the glow I'll remember you I know Though I forgot to lock the chain Around you with a prayer for rain To bring the call To drive you back into my bed
Ahhh.... She turns away Telling me to follow for a while Ahhh.... She waits
You'd be touched if you would touch But you only reach and taunt Will my taste stay grey and blue If I try to turn from you
Yesterday's Winner Is A Loser Today Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Jimmie Skinner; Jesse Rodgers Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; James King; Jimmie Skinner
The world loves a winner but someone must lose There's bound to be someone left with the blues
So why should I worry when you go away Yesterday's winner is a loser today Now I know that I find this heart to play fair But somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear, or just foolish play Yesterday's winner is a loser today
Instrumentals Guitar & Steel
Now I know there was someone in your life before And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way Yesterday's winner is a loser today
So goodbye little darlin I'm sorry we met It's easy to love but so hard to forget Just remember my story here's all I can say ... Yesterday's winner is a loser today
