La Canción Del Trabajo ((Adapted from: Work Song (by Nathaniel Adderley) - 1960; (by Oscar Brown Jr.) - 1960)) Composer(s): Nathaniel Adderley - Oscar Brown Jr. - Manuel Clavero Performer(s): Raphael - 1966
Arrastrar la dura cadena Trabajar sin tregua y sin fin Es lo mismo que una condena Que ninguno puede eludir El trabajo nace con la persona Va grabado sobre su piel Y ya siempre le acompaña Como el amigo más fiel Trabajar con nieve y con frío Con la fe del que ha de triunfar Porque el agua que lleva el río No regresa nunca del mar El trabajo nace con la persona Va grabado sobre su piel Y ya siempre le acompaña Como el amigo más fiel Vale más tener confianza Y luchar por algo mejor Trabajar con fe y esperanza Por lograr un mundo de amor

El camino que lleva a belén baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió los pastorcillos quieren ver a su rey le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón al redentor, al redentor ha nacido en un portal de belén el niño dios Yo quisiera poner a tus pies algún presente que te agrade, señor más, tú ya sabes que soy pobre también y no poseo más que un viejo tambor viejo tambor, viejo tambor en tu honor frente al portal tocaré con mi tambor El camino que lleva a belén yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor nada mejor hay que yo pueda ofrecer su ronco acento es un canto de amor al redentor, al redentor cuando dios me vió tocando ante el me sonrió
Don't You Lie To Me
Composer(s): Tampa Red
First release by: Tampa Red - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
Let's talk it over babe before we start I heard you had a way of over playing your part But don't lie to me Don't you lie to me You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be
Well there's two kinds of people that I just can't stand That's a sneakin' woman and a lyin' man Now don't lie to me Don't you lie to me You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be
I'm gonna love you 'til the cows come home But don't let me catch you out on your own And don't lie to me Don't you lie to me You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be
Here's a proposition that I'll give to you I'm gonna give you my love, won't you give me yours too But don't lie to me Don't you lie to me You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Don't You Know What The Night Can Do? Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Hear the night music playing? Don't you know what it's saying? We should feel it together For forever
Feel the beat and just hold on To the sweet midnight flowing Feel the music inside you I'll be there too
Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true Feels so good we're crying Now's the time when it's down to me and you Spread these wings - we'll be flying
Don't you know what the night can do? Don't you know when it's touching you? Don't you know what the night can do?
Time to show all your feeling All the night is revealing Let the rhythm enfoled you Let me hold you
Now we turn into music Now we never will lose it When the rhythm and night ride No heart can hide
There are times that never ever come again Mem'ries there for making When the night calls, we better let it in All this love for the taking
Don't you know what the night can do? Don't you know when it's touching you? Won't you help me to let it through? Don't you know what the night can do?
La Canción Del Elegido Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Tania Libertad
Siempre que se hace una historia se habla de un viejo, de un niño o de se sí pero mi historia es difícil no voy a hablarles de un hombre común Haré la historia de un ser de otro mundo de un animal de galaxia Es una historia que tiene que ver con el curso de la Vía Láctea Es una historia enterrada Es sobre un ser de la nada
Nació de una tormenta en el sol de una noche el penúltimo mes Fue de planeta en planeta buscando agua potable quizás buscando la vida o buscando la muerte eso nunca se sabe
Quizás buscando siluetas o algo semejante que fuera adorable o por lo menos querible besable, amable
El descubrió que las minas del rey Salomón se hallaban en el cielo y no en el África ardiente como pensaba la gente Pero las piedras son frías y le interesaban calor y alegrías Las joyas no tenían alma sólo eran espejos, colores brillantes y al fin bajo hacia la guerra ¡perdón! quise decir a la tierra
Supo la historia de un golpe sintió en su cabeza cristales molidos y comprendió que la guerra era la paz del futuro lo más terrible se aprende enseguida y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida La última vez lo vi irse entre humo y metralla contento y desnudo iba matando canallas con su cañón de futuro

La Camisa Composer(s): Chabuca Granda Performer(s): Raphael
¿Quién recogió mi camisa del agua? Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa La agité muriendo a la orilla De mi vida abierta en hoguera ¿Quién vino hasta el río para recogerla? Mi sangre antigua cuando me moría Volvía tan dulce mientras se marchaba Que olvidé el recuerdo y la muerte Olvidé de donde venía Tendí mi camisa a morir conmigo Al recogerla con tu bayoneta Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río Lavó la camisa, lavo la memoria Era una garganta de luz en el agua Al recogerla con tu bayoneta Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río Lavó la camisa, lavó la memoria Y yo sé soldado que usas mi camisa Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa Yo sigo viviendo dentro tu camisa Vestido de limón debajo de un río

En tu calle estoy sin saber por qué Sin pensar camino y llego junto a tu balcón Es el corazón quien me trae aquí Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Por primera vez me parece ver Que los arboles florecen en invierno igual Que al llegar aquí ha salido el sol Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Sentir que tú estás muy cerca Y saber que vives aquí Pensar que si abro la puerta En un momento tu sonrisa encontraré
Al amanecer y al anochecer Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué Es aquí donde vive mi amor
Al amanecer y al anochecer Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué Es aquí donde vive mi amor

Don't you know
I have fallen in love with you
For the rest of my whole life through
Don't you know
I was yours from the very day
That you happened to come my way
Can't you see
I'm under your spell
By the look in my eyes
Can't you tell, can't you tell
Now, don't you know
Every beat of my heart keeps crying out
I love you so
Don't you know
Don't you know
Every beat of my heart keeps crying out
I love you so
Don't you know

Don't you deserve someone, baby Don't you deserve true love Don't you deserve a chance at true romance Baby come take a chance with me
I gotta be the one you want I gotta be the one you need I gotta be the one you're looking for Don't you deserve a chance At true romance Baby come take a chance with me
Baby don't blame yourself How could you really tell Baby don't take it quite so hard Lay all your thoughts to bed Get tehm all out your head
I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear I love you so good I should be the one you love
Don't you deserve a chance At true romance Baby come take a chance with me

La Cabane Du Pêcheur Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Le soir tombait de tout son poids Au dessus de la rivière Je rangeais mes cannes On ne voyait plus que du feu Je l'ai vu s'approcher La tête ailleurs dans ses prières Il m'a semblé voir trop briller ses yeux Je lui ai dit
Si tu pleures pour un garçon Tu seras pas la dernière Souvent, les poissons sont bien plus affectueux Va faire un petit tour, respire le grand air! Après, je te parlerai de l'amour Si je me souviens un peu Elle m'a dit
Elle a dit justement c'est ce que je voudrais savoir Et j'ai dit viens t'asseoir dans la cabane du pêcheur C'est un mauvais rêve, oublie-le! Tes rêves sont toujours trop clairs ou trop noirs Alors, viens faire toi-même le mélange des couleurs Sur les murs de la cabane du pêcheur Viens t'asseoir Je lui ai dit
Le monde est pourtant pas si loin On voit les lumières Et la terre peut faire Tous les bruits qu'elle veut Y a sûrement quelqu'un qui écoute Là-haut dans l'univers Peut-être tu demandes plus qu'il ne peut? Elle m'a dit
Elle a dit justement c'est ce que je voudrais savoir Et j'ai dit viens t'asseoir dans la cabane du pêcheur C'est un mauvais rêve, oublie-le! Tes rêves sont toujours trop clairs ou trop noirs Alors, viens faire toi-même le mélange des couleurs Sur les murs de la cabane du pêcheur Viens t'asseoir Elle m'a dit
Elle a dit finalement, je brûle de tout savoir Et j'ai dit viens t'asseoir dans la cabane du pêcheur Y a sûrement de la place pour deux! Cette route ne mène nulle part Alors... Viens faire toi-même le mélange des couleurs Sur les murs de la cabane du pêcheur On va comparer nos malheurs Là, dans la cabane du pêcheur Partager un peu de chaleur Là, dans la cabane du pêcheur Moi, j'attends que le monde soit meilleur Là, dans la cabane du pêcheur
Don't You Care?
Composer(s): Gary Beisbier - Jimmy Holvay
First release by: The Buckinghams - 1967
If you don't love me Why don't you tell me Instead of runnin' around With all the other guys in town
Can't you see You're hurtin' me Don't you care (don't you care), don't you care
If you don't want me Why don't you tell me Instead of tellin' lies And makin' me cry
Chorus
Whatever happened to all the good times we used to have The times we cried and laughed I wanna know, I wanna know Will you ever love me again Or will I find out that this is the end Don't you care
You said that you'd believe me Then why'd you ever leave me I'm standin' here all alone Without a girl of my own Don't you care (don't you care) don't you care (repeat)
