Pedro The Fisherman Composer(s): Harold Purcell - Harry Parr Davies Performer(s): Gracie Fields and multiple other artists
Pedro the fisherman was always whistling such a merry call Girls who were passing by would hear him whistling by the harbour wall But his sweetheart, Nina, who loved him true, always knew That his song belonged to her alone And in the evening when the lights were gleaming and they had to part As he sailed his boat away, echoing across the bay Came the tune that lingered in her heart
But days of dreaming quickly pass and life goes rushing on And one day from the harbour wall she found his boat had gone He'd sailed away to find the gold the sea could never bring To buy a dress, a cuckoo clock, a saucepan and a ring She kept her eyes on the blue horizon, but he didn't return She stopped her sighing and left off crying but he didn't return
One day her father said to her "Oh dearest daughter mine You'll never make a lot from fish, you make much more from wine Tho' Miguel is rather fat, his vineyard's doing well So marry him and let your dreams of Pedro go to hell" The organ peals, the choir boys sing The priest is ready with the book and ring So small and white here comes the bride And stands by the swarthy Miguel's side
Will you have this man to be your lawful wedded spouse eternally? And suddenly the church is still; they wait to hear her say "I will" When through the open doorway there a far off sound disturbs the air
Suddenly she found her man; from the church out she ran There he was upon the harbour wall Down rushed the wedding guests upon the quayside, but the bride had gone As with love she sailed away, echoing across the bay Came the happy ending to her song
Dream Of A Child Composer(s): David Forman
Performer(s): Burton Cummings
When I was a boy I dreamed of Phillip Marlowe He took me as his partner took me as his friend Gave me his fedora gave me shotgun fever Took me as his partner to the end
When I was a boy I dreamed I was a jeweler With a family business that was free and clear Selling golden earrings to Mrs Mickey Mantle Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear
The dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at his command
When I was a boy I dreamed I saved my sister From the Rosicrucians for the love of God I threw myself among them slaughtering their numbers Striking at their laughter crying so hard
The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at this command The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at his command
When I was a boy I dreamed that Elvis Presley Was standing on the corner kissing Brenda Lee Mama always told me love was made in Heaven Tell me how my best friend could steal my love from me I love Brenda Lee - Brenda Lee loves me
Nobody's Darlin' But Mine Composer(s): Jimmie Davis Performer(s): Jimmie Davis and multiple other artists
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love Be honest and faithful, be kind And promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine! (but mine)
You're sweet as the flowers in the Springtime fair as the roses that twine You're sure to be somebody's darlin' Be nobody's darlin' but mine! (but mine)

So this is goodbye little darlin' My heart breaks to leave you behind And promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine (mine, all mine)
A New Love Is Old Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Otto A. Harbach Performer(s): Jerome Kern; Georges Metaxa
She brings you a new smile For new lovers do smile She tends you a new smile A new love is told She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
When she makes signs at you and you realise that you adore her And when you understand sweet arms full of wonder stand before you Take what she offers and be gay Love hates a man who runs away! Hearts ache and lips can smile At thoughts that recall another day
She brings you a new smile For new lovers do smile She tends you a new smile A new love is told She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
Dream Lover ((French Version: J'ai Rêvé (Dalida))
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
First release by: Bobby Darin - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Every night I hope and pray A dream lover will come my way A girl to hold in my arms And know the magic of her charms 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you With a love, oh, so true? And I hand that can hold To feel you near as I grow old? 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea Some way, I don't know how She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do Till all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone I beg you don't make me dream alone
I used to think that I was just a no-count I used to think that I would get nowhere But then I learned that when I'm feelin' low down I'm back up on my feet if I remember all my dreams
I used to get to feeling so downhearted I used to even hate the color green But every time I think I can't get started I think of all my dreams and then I'm right back on the beam
You've got to dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do Cause with your dreams and some perspiration Anything within your dreaming is within your reach
I used to think that I was nothing special That I was just another pretty face But now I know that I will be successful If I always do just what I really want to do
Dream of your secret wishes Dream of your highest hopes 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true
When you've fin'lly decided Things aren't as bad as they seem You just can't deny it Where there's a will there's a dream
Dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true You've got to dream, dream, dream
La Escalera Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Iba silbando mi trino por una calle cualquiera cuando a un lado del camino me encontré con la escalera Era una escala sencilla de rústico enmaderado desde la calle amarilla hasta el rojo de un tejado
¿Qué se verá desde el techo? dijo la voz de un extraño y sin meditar el trecho le puse afán al peldaño La brisa me acompañaba en el ascenso del alma y mi camisa volaba junto al sinsonte y la palma
Mientras más ganaba altura la calle me parecía más pequeña, menos dura como de juguetería Y sucedió de repente que después de alimentarme con la visión diferente sólo quedaba bajarme
Dejé la altura en su calma dejé el cielo en su horizonte siguió batiendo la palma siguió volando el sinsonte Me encontré con la escalera cuando a un lado del camino por una calle cualquiera iba silbando mi trino

La Era Está Pariendo Un Corazón Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Omara Portuondo
Le he preguntado a mi sombra a ver como ando para reírme mientras el llanto, con voz de templo rompe en la sala regando el tiempo
Mi sombra dice que reírse es ver los llantos como mi llanto y me he callado, desesperado y escucho entonces la tierra llora
La era está pariendo un corazón no puede más, se muere de dolor y hay que acudir corriendo pues se cae el porvenir en cualquier selva del mundo en cualquier calle
Debo dejar la casa y el sillón la madre vive hasta que muere el sol y hay que quemar el cielo si es preciso por vivir por cualquier hombre del mundo por cualquier casa
Dream Away Composer(s): John Williams - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
For the last time we have tasted love's sweet tears by the fire's glow If our hearts are strong there'll be no long good-byes when it's time to go But the strongest torch is sometimes broken As the deepest vows aren't always spoken And the greatest wounds, we hide inside ourselves Where they never show
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
When the Winter weds the Northern Wind The child they bear is snow And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids But the trees will grow Sun and Earth in time will come together God will give us back our summer weather But the mem'ries of that first sweet Taste of love pass away so slow
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries might claim you Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild Or the years and the tears shed might claim you
When there's no room left to live inside ourselves Do we dream away
Can ye no hush your weepin' all the wee lambs are sleepin' Birdies are nestlin' nestlin' together Dream Angus is hirplin' her the heather
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell Angus is here wi' dreams to sell Hush ye my baby and sleep without fear Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear
List' to the curlew cryin' Faintly the echos dyin' Even the birdies and the beasties are sleepin' But my bonny bairn is weepin' weepin'
La Enramada
Composer(s): Graciela Olmos
Performer(s): Vikki Carr
and multiple other artists
Las flores y la lluvia me acompañan
en mis horas de nostalgia y de tristeza
me arrebata el pensamiento la distancia
para hacer de mi vida una pavesa
Ya la enramada se secó
el cielo el agua le negó
así tu altivo corazón
no me escuchó
Como ave errante viviré
buscando alivio a mi dolor
con la añoranza de tu amor
yo moriré
Ya la enramada se secó
el cielo el agua le negó
Como ave errante viviré
buscando alivio a mi dolor
con la añoranza de tu amor
yo moriré
Dream Along With Me Composer(s): Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Perry Como; Mitchell Ayres
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!
On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!
(We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight...)
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!
La Enorme Distancia Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Estoy tan lejos de ti y a pesar de la enorme distancia te siento juntito a mi, corazon, corazon alma con alma y siento en mi ser tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos
Estoy pensando en tu amor y a lo loco platico contigo te cuento de mi dolor y aunque me hagas feliz, no te lo digo y vuelvo a sentir tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos
El cielo empiezo a clarear y mis ojos se llenan de sueno contigo voy a sonar porque quieran o no yo soy tu dueno y siempre tendre tus besos no importa que estes tan lejos

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss Im longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss Im longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this

La Edad De La Mujer Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara
La mujer que a los veinte esta soltera es porque se ha caido de la azotea La mujer que a los treinta no tiene novio es porque le ha puesto llave al escritorio
Esta tona me la enseño una tia mia que me decia: la esperanza es lo ultimo que se pierde y murio soltera fijense
La mujer que a los cuarenta no se ha casado es porque tiene el cuarto desalojado La mujer que a los cincuenta quiere estar sola es que se le ha enfriado la cacerola

Get in touch with that sundown fellow As he tiptoes across the sand He's got a million kinds of stardust Pick your fav'rite brand, and
Dream when you're feeling blue Dream, that's the thing to do Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air You'll find your share of memories there So, dream when the day is through Dream and they might come true Things never are as bad as they seem So dream, dream, dream Things never are as bad as they seem So dream, dream, dream
