La Collina Dei Ciliegi Composer(s): Lucio Battisti Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Audio 2
E se davvero tu vuoi vivere una vita luminosa e più fragrante cancella col coraggio quella supplica dagli occhi troppo spesso la saggezza e' solamente la prudenza più stagnante e quasi sempre dietro la collina è il sole! ma perché tu non ti vuoi azzurra e lucente? ma perché tu non vuoi spaziare con me volando intorno a una tradizione come un colombo intorno a un pallone frenato e con un colpo di becco ben aggiustato forarlo e lui giù, giù, giù... e noi ancora ancor più su planando sopra boschi di braccia tese un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre senza limiti e confini ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini e più in alto, e più in là se chiudi gli occhi un istante ora figli dell'immensità Se segui la mia mente, se segui la mia mente abbandoni facilmente le antiche gelosie ma non ti accorgi che e' solo la paura che infine uccide i sentimenti le anime non hanno sesso nei sogni e no, non temere, tu non sarai preda dei venti ma perché non mi dai la tua mano perché potremmo correre sulla collina e dai ciliegi veder la mattina...è già là! E dando un calcio ad un sasso residuo d'inferno farlo rotolar giù giù giù e poi ancor più su planando sopra boschi di braccia tese un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre senza limiti e confini ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini e più in alto, e più in là ora figli dell'immortalità
La Colina Sobre El Terciopelo Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Aunque venga el invierno y se robe las hojas y la flor siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la coli--i--na de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron, te llevare
Aunque siga la ciudad con sus gritos y sus quejas siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Aunque vendan flores de papel sin perfumes ni color siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Nota: La version original se toca con dos guitarras, estos acordes fueron adaptados para acompañar la melodia basica solamente
Down By The Zuiderzee (aka In A Little Dutch Kindergarten)
Composer(s): Herre De Vos - Al Bryan - L. Rosenstock
Performer(s): Barron Blue; Bobby Breen
In a little Dutch kindergarten By the little old Zuiderzee There was started the sweetest romance That anyone could see She was dimpled and round and rosy There was mischief within his eyes But the teacher was never nosey So the teacher never got wise They would share their sweets Each day in the sweetest way That was twenty years ago And they do the same today Now they're married and they're so happy And they're sending their children three To that little Dutch kindergarten Down by the Zuiderzee
La Colina De La Vida Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero, todo prende de mi sueños y se acopla en mi espalda y asi subo, muy tranquilo la colina de la vida Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria, eso es un gran fantasma creado por generaciones pasadas, atascado en el camino de la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Tengo de todo para ver y creer, para odiar o no creer y muchas veces me encuentro solitario, llorando en el umbral de la vida Busco hacer pie en el mundo al reves, busco algun buen amigo para que no me atrape algun dia, temiendo hallarla muerta a la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Composer(s): Bruce Belland - Glen Larson
Performer(s): The Four Preps
Down by the station early in the morning Met a little girl about as cute as she could be I turned on my charms and told her that I loved her I said that she would always be the number one for me She'd always be my number one girl I said there'd be no number two or three
Down in the malt shop shortly thereafter Met another girl about as cute as she could be I looked for number one and when I didn't see her I told number two she was the only girl for me
Went to the drug store and nearly lost my life There I saw my girlfriends, one and two Standing there together, I knew I was in trouble But I'm a clever guy I knew what to do
I went on down by the station early in the morning I was wooing women as cute as they could be But then I saw another girl lookin kinda pretty I said I'm through with one and two I love you number three I said I love you number three And here's what she said to me
Just head on down by the station early in the morning Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea I want a love that's true sir, not a love like you sir You weren't true to one and two You won't be true to me
Down by the station early in the morning See the little puffer-bellies all in a row See the station master pull the little handle Chug, chug, woo, woo, off they go
Cuchilla de palo platillo y loza ollita de barro Si le he comprado a mi cosinera Si le he comprado a mi cosinera Y con mi caja vengo cantando porque ya estamos porque ya estamos
en medio del carnaval Planta de aji, planta y tomate onde estara mi cocinertia hay, tomando mate
Down By The Seaside
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Down by the seaside, see the boats go sailin' Can the people hear, what the little fish are sayin'? Oh, oh, the people turned away, oh, the people turned away Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin' No time left, to pass the time of day The people turned away, the people turned away So far away, so far away See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run Do you still do the twist? Do you find you remember things that well? I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell Out in the country, hear the people singin' Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin' Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away Yes, the people turned away Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain And show your love for Lady Nature, and she will come back again The people turned away The people turned away
La Cloche Composer(s): B. Bower Performer(s): France Gall
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Je tape à tour de bras On se moque des doubles croches Quand mes deux frères jouent avec moi
On met tous les disques à succès Puis on essaie de les imiter Ma cloche donne la cadence Croyez-moi une cloche ça balance
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Oui ça fait du bruit Pour faire danser tous les amis
Toutes les chansons qu'on joue ensemble Ont toutes un air qui se ressemble On n'est pas toujours modestes On est fiers fiers, de notre orchestre
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Nous, ça nous suffit Pour faire danser tous les amis Pour faire danser tous les amis

Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va, no volverá jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va, no volverá jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Yo te dejo mi canción arrulladora y me llevo tu mirar de gran señora Tu mirada fascinante y misteriosa a través del antifaz color de rosa
Si recoges el rumor de mis querellas temblarán en nuestro idilio las estrellas Mis alondras a tu voz despertarán y mis noches de dolor con tus ojos se iluminarán
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú
Se va la clave azul se va la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú

Covered by multiple other artists
Be on my side, I'll be on your side There's no reason for us to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride She could drag me over the rainbow And send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead
You take my hand, I'll take your hand Together we may get away This much madness is too much sorrow It's impossible to make it today She could drag me over the rainbow And send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead
Be on my side, I'll be on your side There's no reason for us to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride

La Ciudad Del Nómada
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero - Suso Saiz
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Aquí los girasoles no conocen la niebla
aquí los árboles te dan sombras y calma
aquí el mar sabe lo que hemos olvidado
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Aquí los sabios son los que gobiernan
aquí amamos el orden del azar de la vida
aquí un sueño tiene tu mismo nombre
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Desde todos los siglos
llegan las caravanas a la ciudad del nómada
Aquí la muerte dice nunca, nunca
aquí los ángeles consuelan a los tristes
aquí en los campos crecen amapolas
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Aquí son bienvenidos los desesperados
Aquí es nuevo el sabor del pan y el vino
Aquí son espontáneos el trabajo y el día
Aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Desde todos los siglos
llegan las caravanas a la ciudad del nómada

Down By The Millside Alongside The Hillside (You Made All My Dreams Come True) Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry D. Kerr
Dearie today is the day we were wed Just twenty five years ago let's take a trip to the old home today I know that you love it so, we'll wander
I'm going to dress in my new Sunday clothes you wear your new gingham gown We'll get old Dobbin and hitch up the shay for he knows the road from town the old road
Down by the millside, alongside the hillside where I told love's story to you night shades were falling, and song birds were calling as you vowed you'd ever be true (and I sighed as I stood by your side) those were our school days, our old golden rule days today we will live them all through for down by the millside, alongside the hillside you made all my dreams come true
La Città Vecchia Composer(s): Fabrizio de André First release by: Fabrizio de André - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Nei quartieri dove il sole del buon Dio non dà i suoi raggi ha già troppi impegni per scaldar la gente d'altri paraggi una bimba canta la canzone antica della donnaccia quello che ancor non sai tu lo imparerai solo qui tra le mie braccia
E se alla sua età le difetterà la competenza presto affinerà le capacità con l'esperienza dove sono andati i tempi di una volta per Giunone quando ci voleva per fare il mestiere anche un po' di vocazione
Una gamba qua, una gamba là, gonfi di vino quattro pensionati mezzo avvelenati al tavolino li troverai là, col tempo che fa, estate e inverno a stratracannare a stramaledire le donne, il tempo ed il governo
Loro cercan là, la felicità dentro a un bicchiere per dimenticare d'esser stati presi per il sedere ci sarà allegria anche in agonia col vino forte porteran sul viso l'ombra di un sorriso tra le braccia della morte
Vecchio professore cosa vai cercando in quel portone forse quella che sola ti può dare una lezione quella che di giorno chiami con disprezzo pubblica moglie Quella che di notte stabilisce il prezzo alle tue voglie
Tu la cercherai, tu la invocherai più di una notte ti alzerai disfatto rimandando tutto al ventisette quando incasserai delapiderai mezza pensione diecimila lire per sentirti dire "micio bello e bamboccione"
Se ti inoltrerai lungo le calate dei vecchi moli In quell'aria spessa carica di sale, gonfia di odori lì ci troverai i ladri gli assassini e il tipo strano quello che ha venduto per tremila lire sua madre a un nano
Se tu penserai, se giudicherai da buon borghese li condannerai a cinquemila anni più le spese ma se capirai, se li cercherai fino in fondo se non sono gigli son pur sempre figli vittime di questo mondo

Il primo pane caldo del mattino l'inchiostro del giornale sulla mano un caffè di fretta e una sigaretta il treno non aspetta La notte sbianca e il buio si colora le case han gli occhi gialli nell'aurora la città degli altri suona il suo richiamo e conta attenta quanti siamo Non so, se un po' più su dei tetti c'è Dio se c'è, è tanto che non passa di qui sta lassù, non sa che in queste strade il cielo non si vede Il giorno è una moneta appena spesa il treno sfonda l'aria verso casa la città degli altri, la città di rabbia scompare in fretta nella nebbia Non so se sopra il mio paese c'è Dio se c'è, l'incontrerò stasera al bar gli dirò, bevendo insieme al banco "Signore, sono stanco!"
Down By The Henry Moore
Composer(s): Murray McLauchlin
First release by: Murray McLauchlin - 1974
I walked down to Kensington Market Bought me a fish to fry I went to the Silver Dollar Looked a stranger in the eye A friend of mine says That he don't think this town's so out of sight But he's got shades 'round his soul And he thinks he's seen the light
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving Don't you want to get undone Don't you want to change from losing Don't you want to have some fun
I went down to the Palm Grove I was jumpin' around the room I was wearing my sneakers down And castin' away my gloom This fat girl come up and grabbed me She sat me on her knee She said you wrote that Farmer's Song And she spilled a drink on me
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving Don't you want to get undone Don't you want to change from losing Don't you want to have some fun
I went down to the Henry Moore Skated all in the Square The moon above my shoulder And the ice was in my hair Alone but never lonely That's how I like to be If you want to have fun Like a rock'n roll bum Don't think the worst of me
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving Don't you want to get undone Don't you want to change from losing Don't you want to have some fun
