Ahora ((aka Ahora, Ahora (by Yolandita Monge) - 1987; Ahora, Ahora (by Mónica Naranjo) - 2000)) ((Adapted from: Ancora Ancora Ancora (by Mina) - 1978)) Composer(s): Cristiano Malgioglio - Giampietro Felisatti - José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael - 1980
Me pregunto si te quiero Y mi boca te esta diciendo si Si decido al fin perderte La respuesta es simplemente no
Tus caricias eran mias En tus noches me dormia asi El amor que ayer creamos Se escapo de nuestras manos ¿por que?
Si yo te quiero ahora Quiero tu boca ahora Quiero tus manos ahora Y abrazarte ahora Y amarte ahora Y sentirte ahora O morirme ahora Porque te amo ahora
Amanece lentamente Y te sueño dulcemente, si Tu recuerdo esta conmigo Y tu amor esta perdido ¿por que?
Los Días De Actemio Composer(s): Lito Nebbia Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Los Gatos
¿A dónde caerás esta noche? Muy lejos, muy lejos, tal vez ¿Qué tren pasará a cargar tu tristeza? Ninguno, ninguno, tal vez Tú eres como el tiempo jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves Tú eres como el tiempo jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves Tú eres como el tiempo jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves Tú eres como el tiempo jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves
Ahora Si, Ahora No Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Ana Belén
Fue toda una vida entre muerto y muerto intentando respirar toda una vida que nos fueron matando haciéndonos callar Qué difícil es ahora cuando ya es al fin la hora y el lugar fin y principio son una misma cosa y es cosa de empezar
Ahora si, ahora no ahora es un instante dentro de un reloj Ahora sí, ahora no mañana es tarde, hoy es pronto y ayer pasó
A las frases hechas y palabras grandes que prometen libertad hay que temer como se teme al espejo que oculta una mitad Son quizá los años que no en vano pasan desnudando la verdad quienes avisan que muere la revuelta cuando es mayor de edad
Ahora si, ahora no ahora es un instante dentro de un reloj Ahora sí, ahora no mañana es tarde, hoy es pronto y ayer pasó

Los Chicos De La Calle Composer(s): Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Los chicos de la calle dónde viven, nadie sabe sus historias nunca nadie guardará con el viento volarán
Los chicos de la calle se imaginan desde el márgen que en el centro de la hoja alguien podrá escribir "felicidad"
Andando entre los autos nadie acierta con su edad Sus ojos, piedra como la ciudad
Los chicos de la calle no eligieron lo que hacen ni el futuro les permitirá elegir quiénes ser o adónde ir
Andando entre los autos lo que esperan no es piedad apenas enfrentar un día más Los chicos de la calle dignidad en rotos trajes pobre dios en carne viva y sin altar no los baja de su cruz sólo rezar
Los chicos de la calle no tendrán adulto el talle más de veinte casi nadie cumplirá rara vez algunos más
Los chicos de la calle son un grito aunque los callen ya son tantos que serían un país donde nadie fue feliz
Los chicos de la calle dignidad en rotos trajes pobre dios en carne viva y sin altar no los baja de su cruz sólo rezar no los libra de su cruz sólo rezar no los salva de su cruz sólo rezar
Ai Garimasu (There Is Love) Composer(s): Grace Slick Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane & Jefferson Starship
Ai child you are timeless and I love you Child that I see And I see you tryin' to lean towards kindness Now that's what I like to see
That's what I like to see I want to see your love And I want to feel I want to feel your love
Ai Garimasu, sometimes loving in the rain Some feel like steel, some taste like candy Ai Garimasu, the same in any language The same in any name Call it what you feel Call it whatever's handy We don't have to know the name We don't have to have the same name We don't have to have any name at all All 'cause you gave me your love And now I know just exactly who to call
That's what I like to see I like to see your love And I want to feel I want to feel your love
We don't have to know the name We don't have to have the same name We don't have to have any name at all ('Cause you gave me your love And now I know just exactly who to call

Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did Get so out of hand You'd have managed better If you'd had it planned Now why'd you choose such a backward time And such a strange land?
If you'd come today You could have reached the whole nation Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Los Chacareros De Dragones Composer(s): D.A.R. Performer(s): León Gieco
Alla donde todo aquel septiembre no alcanzo para llevarse la tempestad Alla donde mil poesias gritaron cuando le cortaron al poeta sus manos Uy, uy, uy si hasta el condor lloro
Alla donde muchos pensamientos no tienen palabras ni gritos ni silencios Alla donde quedo estrellada la raiz de un pueblo con sus profetas muertos Uy, uy, uy si hasta el condor lloro
Ai No Corrida Composer(s): Charles Jeremy Jankel - Chas Jankel - Kenny Young - James Kennith Young Performer(s): Quincy Jones
I hold you I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray You see girl that's what I go through every day Is this the way it should feel? Pinch me I'm dreaming But if it is don't let me know I'm drowning don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go You see girl you thrill me
Half kill me that's what you do Ai no corrida that's were I am
You send me there Your dream is my command Ai no corrida I find myself no other thought
Jusa you and nothing else you and nothing else Before my heart saw you Each day was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just came then blow away You know girl
Everything was come what may until you fell in my life This spell that I'm under has caught me I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze. You see girl you thrill me
Half kill me that's what you do Ai no corrida that's were I am
Superstar ((Adapted from: Superstar (by Murray Head) - 1970)) Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice - Herbert Pagani Performer(s): Flora Fauna Cemento - 1970
Lei non c'è, lei non c'è esce con tutti ma non con te
Non ho chiesto che lei fosse pazza di me non ho chiesto che mi desse niente di sé non ho chiesto niente niente niente però il diritto di vederla almeno ce l'ho
So che dietro alla sua bocca c'è il paradiso e sto fuori a chiedere uno straccio di sorriso
non te lo darà si me lo darà ma che pazzo sei amo solo lei
Lei non c'è, lei non c'è esce con tutti ma non con te vieni al bar, vieni al bar e lascia perdere Superstar Superstar credimi, ama far piangere gli uomini Superstar credimi, gode a far piangere gli uomini
(schitarrata)
Ha paura di volermi bene chissà? Ma di un cuore senza amore che se ne fa? E stavolta deve dirmi perché il più brutto dei cretini è meglio di me So che dietro alla sua bocca c'è il paradiso e sto fuori a chiedere uno straccio di sorriso
non te lo darà si me lo darà ma che pazzo sei amo solo lei
Lei non c'è, lei non c'è esce con tutti ma non con te vieni al bar, vieni al bar e lascia perdere Superstar Superstar è così, a chi non l'ama lei dice sì anche tu l'ami un po', ti fa morire, poi dice no
Superstar credimi, ama a far piangere gli uomini Superstar credimi, gode a far piangere gli uomini
Lei non c'è, lei non c'è esce con tutti ma non con te vieni al bar, vieni al bar e lascia perdere Superstar
Los Cazabrujas De Dores Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Los cazadores salen los cazadores bailan los cazadores sueñan con un planeta de brujas por quemar Los cazadores miran los cazadores buscan los cazadores prenden una candela para salvar a Dios
Ahora sale una niña bien correcta y aunque la niña se ha cortado las trenzas los cazadores tiemblan ante aquella belleza Pero uno tiene cara de aberrado y grita dónde está su cinturón de castidad y se le tiran para quemarla en la hoguera -por brujita- para quemarla en la hoguera -pobrecita- para quemarla en la hoguera -ay-
Pero entra nuestro héroe seguido de una pila de mujeres que le dicen canciones y poemas viejos, niños, todos agradecidos El héroe está a la moda pantalones con pliegues zapatos de dos tonos la patilla cortada y el pelito bien corto Y se ríe al ver los cazadores con sus pelos tan largos y sus mallas estrechas arrastrando a la niña a morir en la hoguera en nombre de Dios
Entonces los cazadores enfurecidos sueltan a la niña y se abalanzan sobre nuestro héroe que ya espera en guardia y desarmado Nuestro héroe se mueve rápido, esquiva los espadazos y responde con sus puños limpios y les da uno, dos, tres, cuatro cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve diez piñazos bien dados y todos se derrumban
Mientras todos lo aclaman como es natural va y recoge a la niña que ya está desmayada de un beso la despierta y se van muy felices sabiendo que no quedan cazadores de brujas
Los cazadores salen los cazadores bailan los cazadores sueñan con un planeta de brujas por quemar Los cazadores miran los cazadores buscan los cazadores prenden una candela para salvar a Dios

Los Campos Verdes Del Mar Composer(s): Victor Heredia Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Yo sabía que era verde verde como el saucedal que era inmenso como el cielo agua plena en soledad pero yo no conocía los campos verdes del mar Aquella tarde de estío el sol jugaba en mi piel y descubrí las arenas primeras antes que el mar El gusto dulce y salado Las brisas que el viento trae Corrí por las playas solo todo quería tocar cabalgar sus altas cumbres la espuma blanca besar ser caracol y olvidarme del mundo y quise ser mar Ser verde dentro del verde ser una ola al romper ser calma, ser mar en furia ser alga rojo coral ser vela en el horizonte ser viento que peina el mar Cuando tuve que volverme nada de mí se volvió quedaron todos mis sueños prendados de su color Y un pedazo de mi vida Siempre a la orilla del mar
Darkest of night With the moon shining bright There's a set goin' strong Lotta things goin' on The man of the hour Has an air of great power The dudes have envied him for so long
Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha
Hard to understand What a hell of a man This cat of the slum Had a mind, wasn't dumb But a weakness was shown 'Cause his hustle was wrong His mind was his own But the man lived alone
Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha
The game he plays he plays for keeps Hustlin' times and ghetto streets Tryin' ta get over (That's what he tryin' to do, y'all) Taking all that he can take Gambling with the odds of fate Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Woo, Superfly
The aim of his role Was to move a lot of blow Ask him his dream What does it mean? He woudn't know "Can't be like the rest" Is the most he'll confess But the time's running out And there's no happiness
Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha
Superfly Superfly Superfly Superfly
Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over Tryin' ta get over
