When You Walk In The Room
((Italian Versions: C'è Una Strana Espressione Nei Tuoi Occhi (The Rokes) - 1965; Ciò Che Fai (I New Dada) - 1965))
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
First release by: Jackie deShannon - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I can feel a new expression on my face I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I see a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room
Maybe it's a dream come true Walkin' right along side of you Wish I could tell you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room
Se juraron amor para toda la vida sobre el suelo mojado estación Puerto Montt la nariz en el vidrio empañó su sonrisa despedida con sonido de motor
Sebastián va tercero medicina en Valdivia y en el bus va primero justo atrás del chofer besos por la ventana y esa niebla maldita desvanece como un sueño a Maribel
Oh la carretera Oh la Luna nueva
Y en la inmensidad en la oscuridad hay luces que vuelan hay sombras que quedan siluetas que vagan al Norte del Sur en la noche azul es largo el camino extraño el destino al Norte del Sur
Maribel desayuna con la radio encendida los tejados murmuran un secreto vapor en el cable a las diez ella lee noticias no hay gaviotas en el cielo de Angelmó
Pocas horas al norte una silla vacía clase de anatomía alguien que no llegó sólo el ojo bohemio de una lechuza vio a un cometa que en el puente se quedó
When You Tell Me That You Love Me Composer(s): J. Bettis; A. Hammond Performer(s): Diana Ross
I wanna call the stars Down from the sky I wanna live a day That never dies I wanna change the world Only for you All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close Under the rain I wanna kiss your smile And feel the pain I know what's beautiful Looking at you In a world of lies You are the truth
And baby Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see Just what I was Show you the loneliness And what it does You walked into my life To stop my tears Everything's easy now I have you here
And baby Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you I would always hunger All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me
Al Niño Niño Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Cuando sea grande, mi niño niño Cuando sea grande, mi niño grande Cuando sea grande mi niño y ande la tierra respire el aire... no la tormenta Cuando sea grande cuide su estrella No es tanta la distancia entre usted y ella Cuando sea grande, sueñe calladito y así podrá encontrar el tiempo perdido Y baje lunas hasta la tierra porque el siglo que comienza camina al sur Y alégrese planeta confundido que el futuro es de los niños ... aún Cuando sea grande, mi niño, viva con la sabiduría de los delfines Cuando sea grande... más grande ame a los niños No sea esquivo con los humildes Cuando sea grande, mi niño, viva la simple geometría de una caricia Cuando sea grande, mi niño juéguese entero por lo que sienta que es verdadero Y baje soles hasta la tierra porque el siglo que comienza camina al sur Y alégrese planeta confundido que el futuro es de los niños ... aún
When You Say Nothing At All Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz Performer(s): Keith Whitley
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word, you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing
Chorus: The smile on your face let's me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd Try as they may could never define What's being said between your heart and mine
Time To Go Composer(s): Y. Alain - S. Frank - R. Getzov Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan
Time to go, lets have one cigarette Then Id better get started Guess Ive said all I have to say
Time to go, not a single regret Should have known wed be parted And that Id fall in love this way
I thought love was a thing to resist Till we kissed like Ive never been kissed Though I knew you were playing a game I fell madly in love just the same
Time to go, I am certain, and yet I am so broken hearted Maybe well meet again some day And if you feel a spark, Babe Then we can try it all over again But till then its time to go
When You Need A Laugh Composer(s): Hank Cochran Performer(s): Patsy Cline
You cant imagine how it hurts me
to have you treat me like you do Knowing that my love is just a joke to you But Ill take it just to see you and laugh as teardrops fall So when you need a laugh, give me a call
Everybody says I am crazy to let you treat me this way But I cant explain so what else can I say At least Im on your mind when youre laughing Somehow that breaks the fall So when you need a laugh, give me a call
Id gladly trade the laugh you get, for the making fun of me To be around the one I love and need so desperately So even if the laughs on me, I dont mind at all So when you need a laugh, give me a call So when you need a laugh, give me a call
Alabam Composer(s): Lloyd Estel Copas Performer(s): Cowboy Copas and multiple other artists
Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street The people down there are eatin' like wild geese So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time Eatin' up their chickens and drinkin' their wine I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam Some folks say that a tramp won't steal but I cought three in my corn field I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam Well one had a bushel and one had a peck one had a roast'near tied around his neck I'm on my way I'm a goin' back to Alabam
Hey there comes Sal walkin' down the street with the run down shoes tied on her feet Mornin' honey I'm on my way to Alabam Hey hello Sal now how are you with the run down slipper and tore up shoe I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam When I get ready to leave this earth I'm a goin' back to my money's worth I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
As I was walking down by the Strand I met a young lady all dressed up so grand With features of finery and jewels set in gold Said she was a maiden, just nineteen years old
Her fingers were tapered, her neck like a swan Her head tipped a little, her voice not too strong In six weeks we were married, the wedding bells tolled I'd married that maiden, just nineteen years old
After the wedding we retired to rest I thought I would die when that female undressed A trunk full of cotton she first did unload I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old
She took off her left leg as high as her knee She took off her fingers, I countered but three While there on the carpet her glass eye did roll I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old
She took off her eyebrows, I thought I would faint Next from her mug came a carload of paint She took off her false wig, her old bald head told I thought it peculiar for a nineteen year old
She took out her teeth, I jumped up in terror Her chin and her nose fell right in together Now I'm telling you folks she was a sight to behold That fair little maiden just nineteen years old
Now all you young fella's when courting you go Make sure she is perfect from head to her toe You'll pay for your folly, like mine you you'll be sold To a patched up old maid about ninety years old
When You Lose The One You Love Composer(s): Rodd Arden; Jimmy Harper; Don Pelosi Performer(s): David Whitfield
When you lose the one you love How lonely life can be With just the memory Those loving souvenirs Will only bring you tears When you lose the one you love
Friends may smile at you and say That time can heal your pain You'll fall in love again But in your heart you know It never can be so When you lose the one you love
There was someone dear to me I lost through jealousy Now we're apart So will you take heed my friend A million tears won't mend A broken heart
Just close your eyes to jealousy And if you love her so Don't ever let her go Because I know, my friend Your happiness will end When you lose the one you love
Al Margen De La Vida Composer(s): P. Barouh - Francis Lai - R. de León Performer(s): Raphael
Yo tengo por misión cantar Y dejo en mi canción volar Y va mi corazón feliz Al margen de la vida Yo gozo con hacer el bien Y siempre sin mirar a quien Pues donde vi un pesar Mi voz logró la paz llevar Tal vez al final llegué a recoger Del mundo traiciones Más yo sin dudar siempre seguiré Sembrando canciones He visto por amor vivir Dos seres y después reñir Y luego cuando les canté Llorando se buscaron Me gusta ser así, no sé Tal vez un día cambiaré Os puedo asegurar Que no hay razón para cambiar A mí por quitar penas al amor Mil gracias me han dado Con ver sonreír a mi alrededor Me siento pagado Yo gozo con hacer el bien Y siempre sin mirar a quien Pues donde vi un pesar Mi voz logró la paz llevar Y así, tan feliz, voy con mi canción Por tierras y mares Me iré cuando ya en mi corazón No queden cantares, no queden cantares Cantares en mi corazón
When You Look In The Heart Of A Rose Composer(s): Marian Gillespie; Florence Methven
Deep in my heart I hold for you A tender thought, so sweet and true Nobody knows but this little rose, I give you
I give my love sweetheart to you Hid in a rose, so safe, secure Trusting you'll know, for ever and aye 'Twill endure
Dear little rose, with your heart of gold Dear little rose, may your petals fold My secret sweet I will trust you to keep Deep in your heart 'twill repose No one will know what your leaves conceal No one will guess what they could reveal You will know then, that I love you dear When you look in the heart of a rose
Al Lado Del Camino Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Me gusta estar al lado del camino fumando el humo mientras todo pasa Me gusta abrir los ojos y estar vivo Tener que vérmelas con la resaca entonces navegar se hace preciso en barcos que se estrellen en la nada Vivir atormentado de sentido, creo que esta, sí esta es la parte mas pesada
En tiempos donde nadie escucha a nadie En tiempos donde todos contra todos En tiempos egoístas y mezquinos En tiempos donde siempre estamos solos Habrá que declararse incompetente en todas las materias del mercado Habrá que declararse un inocente o habrá que ser abyecto y desalmado Yo ya no pertenezco a ningún ismo me considero vivo y enterrado Yo puse las canciones en tu walkman el tiempo a mi me puso en otro lado Tendré que hacer lo que es y no debido Tendré que hacer el bien y hacer el daño No olvides que el perdón es lo divino Y errar a veces suele ser humano
No es bueno nunca hacerse de enemigos que no estén a la altura del conflicto Que piensan que hacen una guerra y se hacen pis en la cama como chicos Que rondan por siniestros ministerios haciendo la parodia del artista Que todo lo que brilla en este mundo tan solo les da caspa y les da envidia
Yo era un pibe triste y encantado de Beatles, Caña legui y maravillas los libros, las canciones y los pianos el cine, las traiciones, los enigmas mi padre, las cervezas, las pastillas, los misterios, el whisky malo los óleos, el amor los escenarios el hambre, el frío, el crímen, el dinero y mis 10 tías me hicieron este hombre enreverado si alguna vez me cruzas por la calle regalame tu beso y no te aflijas
Si ves que estoy pensando en otra cosa no es nada malo es que paso una brisa la brisa de la Muerte enamorada que ronda como un ángel asesino Mas no te asustes siempre se me pasa es solo la intuición de mi destino
Me gusta estar al lado del camino fumando el humo mientras todo pasa Me gusta regresarme del olvido para acordarme en sueños de mi casa El chico que jugaba a la pelota del 49585 nadie nos prometio un jardín de rosas hablamos del peligro de estar vivos
No vine a divertir a tu familia mientras el mundo se cae a pedazos Me gusta estar al lado del camino Me gusta sentirte a mi lado Me gusta estar al lado del camino Dormirte cada noche entre mis brazos Al lado del camino Al lado del camino Al lado del camino Es mas entretenido y mas barato Al lado del camino Al lado del camino
When You Know You're Not Forgotten By The Girl You Can't Forget
When You Know You're Not Forgotten By The Girl You Can't Forget Composer(s): J. Fredric Helf; Ed Gardenier Performer(s): Frank C. Stanley; and various other artists
Gently the breeze sighs thro' the trees Two sweethearts strolling alone She heard him say at dawn of day "Far from your side I must roam" Dear ere I go, just let me know You won't forget when we part One who loves you fondly and true It cheers a sad lonely heart
When you know you're not forgotten by the girl you can't forget When you find the girl you left behind is thinking of you yet `Round your heart a feeling stealing Comes to drive away regret When you know you're not forgotten By the girl you can't forget
"Roses may fade" answered the maid "Clouds may turn sunshine to gloom But in my heart, tho' we're apart Love for you ever will bloom Thro' weary years, thro' smiles and tears You'll find me faithful and true Dear Heart you'll learn when you return, that I'm still waiting for you"
When you know you're not forgotten by the girl you can't forget When you find the girl you left behind is thinking of you yet `Round your heart a feeling stealing Comes to drive away regret When you know you're not forgotten By the girl you can't forget
Al Horizonte De Un Suburbio Composer(s): Jorge Luis Borges - Victor Proncet Performer(s): Valeria Munarriz & Jorge Luis Borges
Pampa: Yo diviso tu anchura que ahonda las afueras yo me estoy desangrando en tus ponientes
Pampa: Yo te oigo en las tenaces guitarras sentenciosas y en altos benteveos y en el ruido cansado de los carros de pasto que vienen del verano
Pampa: El ámbito de un patio colorado me basta para sentirte mía
Pampa: Yo sé que te desgarran surco y callejones y el viento que te cambia Pampa sufrida y macha que ya estás en los cielos no sé si eres la muerte. Sé que estás en mi pecho
When You Hear Big Ben Composer(s): Harry Leon; Mark Malloy; Jack Scott Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Josef Locke
When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home, dear, where you belong Though youre far away each night and day Youll cry when you hear his song He stands by the river that flows to the sea His hands are together like ours used to be When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home in my arms sweetheart
(Chorus)
When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home, dear, where you belong Though youre far away each night and day Youll cry when you hear his song
(Doreen) He stands by the river that flows to the sea His hands are together like ours used to be
(All) When you hear Big Ben, youre home again Home in my arms sweetheart
Al Final De La Segunda Luna Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Esta va a ser mi canción mas sencilla Que no hablará de nada, que hablará de todo No es necesario mencionar la vida Para que se sienta su presencia en los ojos Al final de la segunda luna Empecé a no hacer nada con las manos Sólo por un momento Y entonces tuve ganas De hablar al ancho justo De la palabra humana De la palabra humana
Como si no tuviera ningún nombre Y no existiera historia de los hombres Mas allá del atávico pasado Del presente y futuro deseado Sin ningún compromiso con el mundo Como si todo fuese este segundo Cual si todo naciera con mis labios Cual si todo muriera con mis labios
Ay otra dimensión desconocida Más fuerte que la muerte y que la vida Más sustancial que el mundo y su belleza Que nace y muere siempre donde empieza Estar como se está, como se siente Es más claro y más negro que decirlo Que tratar de explicarlo Por eso ya no sigo Sólo quise decir Que es tremendo estar vivo Que es tremendo estar vivo
When You Dance Composer(s): Andrew Jones Performer(s): The Turbans; and various other artists
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
When you dance you'll feel the warmth of her embrace Then you'll know this feeling, yeah is no disgrace Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
You may do a rhumba or a tango Mambo, calypso or a strand Lights are turned down low You go hand in....
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you Well, hold her tight when you dance
