Stray Cat Strut Composer(s): Brian Setzer First release by: Stray Cats - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists
Oooooooh Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent I'm flat broke but I don't care I strut right by with my tail in the air Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat I'm a feline casanova hey man that's that Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man Get my dinner from a garbage can
Meow Yeah, don't cross my path! I don't bother chasing mice around I slink down the alley lookin' for a fight Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy" I wish I could be as carefree and wild But I got cat class and I got cat style
Yoga Is As Yoga Does Composer(s): Gerald Nelson; Fred Burch Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Gerald Nelson
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does there's no in-between Your either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled How can I even move, twistin' like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs Pull my arms a lot How did I get so tied up In this yoga knot You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall A simple yoga exercise done by one and all Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown Yoga's sure to catch you if you come falling down
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Across The Sky The Shades Of Night Composer(s): Nikolaus Decius - James Hamilton
Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's Eve are fleeting We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light In solemn worship meeting And as the year's last hours go by We raise to Thee our earnest cry Once more Thy love entreating
Before the cross subdued we bow To Thee our prayers addressing Recounting all Thy mercies now And all our sins confessing Beseeching Thee this coming year To keep us in Thy faith and fear And crown us with Thy blessing
And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us Safe home with Thee in Paradise Whose peace descendeth o'er us And beg of Thee, when life is past To reunite us all at last With those who've gone before us
We gather up in this brief hour The memory of Thy mercies Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power Our grateful song rehearses For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses
In many an hour when fear and dread Like evil spells, have bound us And clouds were gathering overhead Thy providence hath found us In many a night when seas ran high Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh Hath made all calm around us
Then, O great God, in years to come Whatever may betide us Right onward through our journey home Be Thou at hand to guide us Nor leave us till at close of life Safe from all perils, toil, and strife Heaven shall enfold and hide us

Mi voz puede volar, puede atravezar cualquier herida, cualquier tiempo cualquier soledad, sin que la pueda controlar toma forma de canción, así es mi voz que sale de mi corazón
Y volará, sin yo querer por los caminos más lejanos por los sueños que soñé será reflejo del amor de lo que me tocó vivir será la música de fondo de lo mucho que sentí
Oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
Y ahora vuelvo a recordar, aquel tiempo atrás cuando me fui buscando el cielo de la libertad cuantos a migos que dejé y cuantas lagrimas lloré yo viviré, para volverlos a encontrar y seguire, con mi canción bailando música caliente como bailo yo y cuando suene una huaracha y cuando suene un huahuancó en la sangre de mi pueblo en su cuerpo estaré yo
Oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
Sobreviviendo En esta vida lo que estoy haciendo Sobreviviendo Estoy sobreviviendo, estoy sobreviviendo Sobreviviendo Para que la gente me siga oyendo
Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Doy gracias a Dios por este regalo El me dió la voz y yo te la he dado ¡Con Gusto! Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Para ti mi gente siempre cantaré te daré mi azucar caramba y sobreviviré Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Yo viviré, Yo viviré y Sobreviviré

Yo Te Quiero Maria Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Penny Els Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Dit is nu mijn laatste brief Met die woorden Maria Neem ik afscheid van jou Yo te quiero Maria Je weet dat ik van je hou Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij was mijn lied Mijn wereld, mijn kleine gids Te samen iedere dag Doorheen zonnige straten Jij was een lach Wat vriendschap in een vreemd land Maar uit het oog, uit het hart De tijd blijft nooit staan
Yo te quiero Maria Dit is nu mijn laatste brief Met die woorden Maria Neem ik afscheid van jou Yo te quiero Maria Je weet dat ik van je hou Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij zal wel gauw Iemand vinden die van je houdt Die bij je blijft en nooit of nooit Meer hoeft weg te gaan
Always fighting Always fighting with yourself Be something Be happy If I were France And you were Germany What an alliance that would be
I dig laughter I dug up a few old dreams They couldn't make me happy They weren't pure They weren't real to me They weren't anything for you
So, look no further We're coming through We're not alone now There's room for you
Look now Hear it sounding Hear it ringing in my ears Their secrets sacred as sequins And weighing you down, down And platitudes that make you leave The weak at the wall Ask the questions But that's all for now now
Yo te quiero libre, libre y con amor libre de la sombra, pero no del sol Yo te quiero libre, como te vivi libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
La libertad tiene alma clara y solo canta cuando va batiendo alas vuela y canta, libertad La libertad nacio sin dueno y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre y con buena fe para que conduzcas tu preciosa sed Yo te quiero libre, libre de verdad libre como el sueno de la libertad
La libertad, nacio sin dueno y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre como te vivi libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
Yo Te Necesito Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís Performer(s): Los Bukis; and various other artists
(hablado) "Que grande es mi razón de estar contigo y cuanta falta le haces a este corazón que me hace sentir lo que hoy te pido regresa mi amor, regresa conmigo"
Yo te necesito a cada momento solo pienso en ti lo digo y lo grito tan solo eres tu lo que me hace feliz
Yo te necesito amor como este he sentido jamas te espera tu nido mi vida es vacía si tu aquí no estas
Si no estas conmigo me duele decirlo desde hace unos días no se de tu vida, no se mas de ti
Me siento perdido entre lo escondido se alargan mis horas mi alma te añora y me hace decir
Que te necesito que nada es posible en mi vida sin ti regresa te pido mis lágrimas faltan si lloro por ti....
Si no estas conmigo me duele decirlo...(se repite)
Strangers In The Morning Composer(s): Ron Dante - Greenfield Performer(s): The Archies
Strangers in the morning Why must it always end this way? Strangers in the morning Love never lives to see the light of day I always make my mind up This time I'll stay but then we wind up
Strangers in the morning You never make it through the night Love goes with no warnin' And though I try, it never turns out right Strangers, always strangers We wind up strangers in the mornin' (In the mornin')
When will I find somebody to love? There must be someone somewhere Each night I ask the stars up above "Let tomorrow come and find us there Together"...
Maybe one sweet mornin' I'll wake up like I always do And when day is dawnin' I'll turn to her and whisper "I love you" Not like the times before when I headed for the door We won't be strangers in the mornin' any more
Not like the times before when I headed for the door We won't be strangers in the mornin' any more
Yo Te Amo Titles In Other Languages: Helwa Ya Baladi; Comment L'Oublier Composer(s): C. Cantelis; Jeff Barnel; B. Liamis; C. Sinoue; A. Marco Performer(s): Dalida
Tres palabras nada màs Io t'amero No me atrevo a pronunciar Io t'amero Pues la vida ne perdona La promesa decepcion Y los juramentos se abandonan Oh, oh
Hoy diré una vez màs Io t'amero Y después no habrà otra vez Io t'amero No seras ni sol ni tierra, ni reposo, ni galera Un buen companera y nada màs
Porque el amor ha de ser algo positivo Y es absurdo imaginar definitivo Si nos deja mal sabor es negativo Y es un camino para él morir Oh, oh
Otra vez pronunciaré Io t'amero Otra vez intentaré Io t'amero Ahora ya sabràs que quiero Caminar por un sendero Que nos deje al menos la amistad
Porque el amor ha de ser algo positivo Y es absurdo imaginar definitivo Si nos deja mal sabor es negativo Y es un camino para él morir Oh, oh
Tres palabras nada màs Io t'amero No me atrevo a pronunciar Io t'amero Pues la vida ne perdona La promesa decepcion Y los juramentos se abandonan Oh, oh oh, oh io t'amero Io t'amero oh, oh oh, oh
Stranger Things Have Happened Composer(s): Levine - Rudetsky Performer(s): Peter Tork
Who says it's impossible? Maybe it's just hard to get But if I were the last man on earth I would not relent
Ooh, and maybe I know better But I'll fight fire with fire You, you must believe We can have our hearts' desire
Stranger things have happened Stranger things than you can imagine Stranger things have happened Stranger things than love
The crime of the century Has just been solved tonight Here in the shelter of my arms I will make it right Ooh, the Long March is beginning And the river shows the Way I, I must be crazy To believe in what remains
Stranger things have happened Stranger things than you can imagine Stranger things have happened Stranger things than love
Yo Te Ame En Nicaragua Composer(s): Fito Paez Performer(s): Fito Paez
Yo te ame en Nicaragua con el cielo en el mar ardió todo Managua no recuerdo mas una chica en la Habana no para ba de hablar fue amante de Guevara una amante mas
Nicaragua es ese sitio donde vamos a parar donde ya no pasa nada nada mas que reventar es la cama de una chica a quien vos no conoces ves tu poster en el cuarto y no sabes donde correr
Yo te ame en Nicaragua con el cielo en el mar ardió todo Managua no recuerdo mas una chica en la Habana no para ba de hablar fue amante de Guevara una amante mas
Ella dijo que del cielo una estrella bajara y nadie sabe donde vive y nadie sabe donde va
Yo te pido que esta noche no me dejes en el mar que ya no duermo por las noches siento que algo va a estallar
The Stranger Song ((French Version: L'étranger (by Graeme Allwright) - 1968)) Composer(s): Leonard Cohen First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1967
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another He was just some Joseph looking for a manger He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
And then leaning on your window sill he'll say one day you caused his will to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger
But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams as though they were the burden of some other O you've seen that man before his golden arm dispatching cards but now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter
Ah you hate to see another tired man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker And while he talks his dreams to sleep you notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder
You tell him to come in sit down but something makes you turn around The door is open you can't close your shelter You try the handle of the road It opens do not be afraid It's you my love, you who are the stranger It's you my love, you who are the stranger
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for I think it's time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter When he talks like this you don't know what he's after When he speaks like this you don't know what he's after
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose upon the shore, beneath the bridge that they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or someplace later
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind ...
