Susan When She Tried Composer(s): Don Reid First release by: The Statler Brothers - 1974 and multiple other artists
I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson Lord they done me wrong I took it hard with Peggy Harper She hurt me bad, but not for long There's just one I remember Makes me feel funny down inside I'd trade 'em all for just one hour Of Susan when she tried
No, there's never been a woman Who could make me weak inside And give me what I needed Like Susan when she tried
It gets worse in the summer When the nights are hot and long And it's bad in December When they play those Christmas songs So if you ask me and I don't tell you Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied 'Cause there's never been one better Than Susan when she tried
Sus Ojos Se Cerraron Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando su boca que era mía ya no me besa más Se apagaron los ecos de su reír sonoro y es cruel este silencio que me hace tanto mal Fue mía la piadosa dulzura de sus manos que dieron a mis penas caricias de bondad y ahora que la evoco hundido en mi quebranto las lágrimas trenzadas se niegan a brotar y no tengo el consuelo de poder llorar
¿Por qué tus alas tan cruel quemó la vida? ¿Por qué esta mueca siniestra de la suerte? Quise abrigarla, y más pudo la muerte ¡Cómo me duele y se ahonda mi herida! Yo sé que ahora vendrán caras extrañas con su limosna de alivio a mi tormento Todo es mentira, mentira ese lamento ¡hoy está solo mi corazón!
Como perros de presa las penas traicioneras celando su cariño galopaban detrás y escondida en las aguas de su mirada buena la muerte agazapada marcaba su compás En vano yo alentaba febril una esperanza clavó en mi carne viva sus garras el dolor y mientras en las calles en loca algarabía ¡el carnaval del mundo gozaba y se reía! ¡Burlándose el destino me robó su amor!
Surrender To Me Composer(s): Richard Marx - Ross Vannelli Performer(s): Ann Wilson & Robin Zander and multiple other artists
Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong Yet now we're giving up without a fight But I know when you're gone I'll wish I held on
So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight
I don't want our love to cause you so much pain If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye Let's forget about the past and who's to blame 'Cause when this is all gone We'll wish we'd held on
So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight
How could this love be in danger That used to be so good, so right? To think that fate could make us strangers Has thrown me in your arms tonight!
So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight So, baby, surrender ...
À Ma Femme ((Italian Version: A Mia Moglie (by Charles Aznavour) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quand le soc de roc de saisons Sue nos visages et sur nos fronts Aura creusé de lourds sillons De rides Quand nos enfants ayant grandi Auront abandonné le nid Laissant nos curs affaiblis Le vide Quand nos gestes seront plus lents Que nous verrons passé le temps Avec un air étrangement Lucide Quand nous n'aurons plus d'avenir Nous remuerons des souvenirs Terre qui ne peut devenir Aride
Quand à pas lents et incertains Nous visiterons des jardins Qui comme nos fronts seront peints De givre Quand au prix de milliers d'effort Nous chercherons sans doute encore À tuer le temps déjà mort De vivre Quand nous ne serons désormais Que deux vies liées sans projet Nous ouvrirons avec regret Le livre Que nous aurons au fil des ans Écrit sur les pages du temps Ou deux mots manqueront pourtant À suivre
Quand enfin la vie parcourue Prêt a entrer dans l'inconnu Je te regarderai perdue Et blême Quand dans ton regard je verrai Que sans notre amour désormais Tes jours ne seront plus jamais Les mêmes Quand mes yeux ne verront plus rien Que ma main cherchera ta main À l'heure où parler sera un Problème Après avoir accepté Dieu Juste avant de fermer les yeux Encore une fois si je peux Je te dirai comme un adieu
Surrender ((aka I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (by MxPx) - 2009)) Composer(s): Rick Nielsen First release by: Cheap Trick - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you She also told me, stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Father says, your mother's right, she's really up on things Before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the Philippines Now, I had heard the wacs recruited old maids for the war But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year? Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear? When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my kiss records out
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Guarda il mare com´e bello! Spira tanto sentimento Come il tuo soave accento Che me desto fa sognar Senti come illeve salle Dai giardini odor d´aranci Un perfumo non v´ha eguale Per chi palpita di amore E tu dice parto addio T´allontani dal mio core Questa terra del amor´ Hai la forza di lasciar Ma non mi fuggir Non dar mi piu tormento Torna a Surriento Non farmi morir

They're really rocking in Boston in Philadelphia PA deep in the heart of Texas on down the Frisco Bay All over Saint Louis and down in New Orleans All the cats want to dance with sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen she's just got to have about half a million framed autographs Her wall is filled with pictures she gets them one by one Becomes so excited oh watch her at the run boy. Oh mommy, mommy please may I go You know it's such a sight to see somebody steal the show Oh daddy, daddy I beg of you Please say it to mommy it's alright with you
Sweet little sixteen she's got the grown up blues Tight dresses and lipstick she's sporting in high-heeled boots Oh but tomorrow morning she'll have to change her trend become sweet sixteen and back in class again
They're really rocking in Boston in Philadelphia PA deep in the heart of Texas and down the Frisco Bay All over Saint Louis on down in New Orleans All the cats want to dance with sweet little sixteen

Surfer Joe Composer(s): Bob Berryhill - Pat Connolly - Jim Fuller - Ron Wilson Performer(s): The Surfaris and multiple other artists
Down in Doheny where the surfers all go There's a big bleach blondie, named Surfer Joe He's got a green surfboard and a Woody to match And when he's ridin' the freeway's Man, is he hard to catch
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
I saw him one day flyin' down the road With tenty-six surfboards And a hundred pound load I knew where he was headin' Tryin' to reach the playground Of the surfer's, Doheny Beach
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
He went down to Huntington Beach one week For the annual surfer's convention meet Hangin' five and walkin' the nose And when the meet was over The trophy was Joe's
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
Okay let's go!
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's Marines today They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away They cut off his big blonde locks, I'm told And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
Now, no, that didn't stop him Or keep him away When the surf was up He still had his day They caught him at the trestle Down by the sea And now, poor Joe is doin' KP
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
