Te Quiero A Ti
Composer(s): R. Girado
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



No me importa saber que no he sido el primero
que tus labios besó y te dijo te quiero

No me importa saber que han habido ya otros
que pidieron tu amor y lo tuvieron todo

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
y al sabor de tus besos
te quiero a ti

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
estés cerca o muy lejos
te quiero a ti

No me importa saber que dirán de nosotros
si queremos vivir nuestro amor como locos

No me importa saber que hay escrito en tu vida
de quién fuiste mujer si hoy yo sé que eres mía

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
y al sabor de tus besos
te quiero a ti

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
estés cerca o muy lejos
te quiero a ti

My Cairo Maid
Composer(s): Bud De Sylva; G. Foster; Chris Schonberg



Dreaming, I am always dreaming 
When the stars are gleaming, of my Cairo maid 
I believe she wants me 
For her mem'ry haunts me
I sit and pine till skies are graying, saying

Smiling, I can see her smiling 
in her way beguiling, as the shadows fall 
For the moon above her 
Tells her that I love her 
And will return o'er desert, swinging, singing

I know a maid in Cairo 
In dreamy Cairo, beside the Nile 
I know she's yearning, her heart is burning for my returning 
so, for a while, I'll travel upon my camel 
o'er scorching gravel unto my shrine 
Which means, that I'll go to dreamy Cairo and make this Cairo maiden mine

Good Captain Clack
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Still scowling black
good Captain Clack
must eat his humble pie
His bed is made
the colours fade
his eyes once wet are dry

The naked muse
who sits and chews
tobacco off a tree
removes his shoes
gives way to booze
and searches endlessly

See the naked jumberlack
sip his aphrodisiac
Cotton-picking farmers three
Though I lost my weather vane
and of sense I have one grain
I'm content sipping lemon tea

Te Quiero
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



"Ah, pero no: la vida es una cosa
tan llena de salud maravillosa
es un regalo de placer tan fiero
es un juego tan útil, tan demente
que ya he vuelto a creer absurdamente
porque dijiste nada más: te quiero"
-Carilda Oliver Labra-
 
Te quiero
así, de pronto
así de tonto... pero
te quiero
Te quiero
así de claro
así de raro...
pero te quiero
Te quiero
así de burdo
así de absurdo... pero
te quiero
Pero esta noche tristeza obliga
más que a la amante quiero a la amiga
Más que tu pan, quiero tu miga

My Buddy
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Alvino Rey
Covered by various other artists



Life is a book that we study
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
There it was written by a buddy
That we must part, you and I

Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you

Your buddy misses you, yes I do

Good Bye, Rose
Composer(s): Herbet Ingraham; Addison Burkhart



Once a bird loved a rose
Chirp'd despondently 
"Oh! My love
From above
Your fading blush I see
But I cannot linger here
Winter's blasts are near 
Lovely flower, from your bower
I must fly I fear
Oh, Dear!

With the Springtime's sunny garb
Came the love sick bird
To the tree anxiously
But still no welcome heard
For the rose sighed in vain 
Cried till winter's snows 
Half in pity 
Froze the pretty
Broken hearted rose he chose

Good bye Rose, the Autumn leaves are falling
Winter blows her trumpets from the sky 
When the snows shall melt at Springtime's calling
We will meet again
Some day so good bye Rose

Te Prouver Mon Amour
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim



Pour te prouver mon amour
que veux-tu que je te donne?
Je te donnerai mes jours
chaque instant de ma personne
Je te donnerai mes jours
mes printemps et mes automnes
mon cœur, légèrement cœur lourd
pour te prouver mon amour

Pour te prouver, mon ami
pour te prouver que je t'aime
je te donnerai mes nuits
chaque instant de mes poèmes
Je te donnerai mes nuits
et le bonheur pour étrennes
pour te prouver, mon ami
que je t'aime à la folie

Pour te prouver ma folie
que veux-tu que je te donne?
Je te donnerai ma vie
sans regret je l'abandonne
Je te donnerai ma vie
avec une joie sans bornes
si vraiment ça te suffit
à te prouver ma folie

Quand je t'aurai tout donné
quand j'aurai vidé mes poches
je pourrai enfin t'aimer
d'un amour sans anicroches
Nous pourrons nous adorer
mais ton appétit féroce
n'aura plus rien à croquer
quand je t'aurai tout donné

Pour te prouver mon amour
là vraiment il y a maldonne
J'ai donné mes nuits, mes jours
et je n'ai plus rien en somme
Tu m'as pris mes jours, mes nuits
mon cœur, mon corps sans vergogne
Tu m'as pris jusqu'à l'envie
de te prouver mon amour 
de te prouver mon amour

Self Portrait 
Composer(s): Richard Blackmore; Ronald Padavona
First release by: Rainbow - 1975



Paint me a picture and hang it on the wall
Cover it darkly, the lines must start to crawl
Down, down, down
Spin me around and around
Draw me away to the night from the day
Leave not a trace to be found
Down, down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

Paint me a picture of eyes that never see
With flashes of lightning that burn for only me

Hey hey hey
There's only the devil to pay
I'm ready to go
Pull me down from below
Give me a place I can lay

Hey hey
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

Hey hey
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down
Down, down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down

Good Biscuits
Composer(s): Memphis Minnie
Performer(s): Memphis Minnie



Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Don't let no outside woman make no biscuits for your man

I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
Why I'm a single woman today by letting other women feed my man

So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
Ain't gonna have him going around eating biscuits, whoo, whoo, made 
up with your nasty hands

I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I don't get no one buddy, I have too many a-doggone friends

You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
But if I catch you feeding my man, whoo, whoo, Lord, I'm going to the pen

Te Perdre
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Aide-moi à t'aider
Fais pas semblant d'essayer d'essayer
Je n'ai ni Dieu ni Maître
J'sais plus rêver
Il ne me reste qu'une peur
Te perdre
Aime comme je veux t'aimer
Si j'peux entendre alors je rêve
D'écouter maintenant
Tu sais je n'ai qu'une peur
Te perdre, te perdre
Vieillir en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Je joue pas j'suis sincère
Si j'me r'refais pas j'te perd
Cherche pas à trouver
Tous ces mots si durs à cicatriser
Fais pas semblant de tenter pour tenter
Une seule chose me blesse
Te perdre
Juste pour m'éprouver
Si tu me regardes alors je reste
Peut-être mieux vouloir c'est vrai
Je n'ai qu'une peur te perdre
Te perdre
Et vivre en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Oh, je joue pas j'suis sincère
Si j'me r'refais pas j'te perd
Perdre, te perdre
Vieillir en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Perdre...
Perdre...
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre...

My Brother's Will
Composer(s): Ken Nelson
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers



My brother and I were out hunting
A stray bullet made him its mark
I carried him back to the cabin
His life nothing more than a spark

He whispered to me very softly
Dear brother, I'm going away
So listen and come to me closely
There's so much that I have to say

My sweetheart, her dear name is Sally
Her mother and father have died
She's waiting alone in the valley
When I left her, oh how she cried

I promised to bring her my fortune
Return to the valley and wed
But I've had a call from my maker
So I'll have to go there instead

He gave me the ring he had bought her
And told of the plans they had made
He spoke of how long she had waited
And for his return, how she prayed

He gave me a small piece of paper
The will he had made for this day
I promised to do as he wanted
The Good Lord would show me the way

He gave me his home in the valley
And all of the money he had
He asked me to marry his Sally
And promise she'd never be sad

But once long ago we were rivals
For I loved her too from the start
I'd made up my mind to stay single
For Sally had broken my heart

My dear brother went up to heaven
And I went to our valley home
But Sally had married another
So what's left for me but to roam?

I pray the good Lord up above me
To keep Brother's faith in me still
His Sally was fickle, unfaithful
That's why I broke my brother's will

Good As I Was To You
Composer(s): Billy Livsey; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan;
Mindy McCready; Sister Valentina



She drove up the restaurant 
Where they used to dine
He was sitting at the table 
With someone new this time
She walked up right beside him 
Her face did not turn red
She looked at him so calmly 
And this is what she said

Good as I was to you 
Is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared 
So easy to forget?
Does this mean that you've won? 
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good 
But she won't ever be 
As good as I was to you 

The room got awfully quiet 
And everybody stared
Finally the waiter said, 
"Should I bring another chair"
She said, "No, I was just leaving" 
But as she walked out the door
She said, "Honey, you can have him 
I don't want him anymore"

Good as I was to you 
Is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared 
So easy to forget?
Is this the way it's done? 
Looking out for number one?
Did you think it through?
She sure looks good 
But she won't ever be 
Good as I was to you

does this mean that you've won? 
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good 
But she won't ever be 
As good as I was to you

As good as I was to you

Ya no voy ni a trabajar
ya no salgo amor de aquí
solamente sé esperar
solamente sé pensar en ti
Veo la cama y pienso en ti
veo la puerta y pienso en ti
si respiro pienso en ti
si te olvido te necesito

Ven, estoy vencido
ven, estoy cansado
ven, estoy herido
ven, te necesito

Solamente sé seguir
solamente sé luchar
solamente sé vivir
para verte regresar amor

Todo muere y espero aquí
todo es lento y espero aquí
todo es cruel y espero aquí
todo absurdo y aún te espero

Ven, me siento solo
ven, me siento viejo
ven, me vuelvo loco
ven, te necesito

Ven, por lástima amor
ven, por lo que fuimos
ven, por lo que quieras
ven, te necesito

Ven, seré tu sombra
ven, seré tu perro
ven, seré tu amante
ven, te necesito

Ven, por una noche
ven, por una hora
ven, por un segundo
ven, te necesito

Ven, aunque me hieras
ven, aunque me mientas
ven, aunque me odies
ven, te necesito

Ven, seré tu sombra
ven, seré tu perro
ven, seré tu amante
ven, te necesito

I'm a-gonna type a letter to you
Bye-bye-bye-bye, Baby we're through
Well, on every date you teased me so
I can't take it no more, I'm a-gonna go
Gonna go, Honey I'm a-gonna go

Every word in black and white
Baby, you know you didn't treat me right
Through the alphabet A to Z
Baby you were wrong to me
Wrong to me, baby you were wrong to me

I'm a-gonna leave you high and dry
You made a-me lonesome, you made a-me cry
Ain't a-gonna kiss you
Ain't gonna miss you, goodbye!

I don't type much, but I guess it will do
Baby, you made a-me cry for you
I don't type much, but I'll give it my way
Baby I'm a-going far away
Far away, far away, a-Baby going far away

I'm a-gonna leave you high and dry
You made a-me lonesome, you made a-me cry
Ain't a-gonna kiss you
Ain't gonna miss you, goodbye!

I'm a-gonna leave this very day
Well, Honey I'm a-going far away
You messed a-me 'round and you made a-me sore
Oh Baby, I don't a-care no more
Don't a-care, don't a-care
Baby, don't a-care no more
Don't a-care, don't a-care
Baby, don't a-care no more!

Te necesito como las rosas necesitan del rocío

Te necesito como si fuera un huerfanito ya perdido
Soy como un barco que en la espesura de la niebla no ve un faro
y por eso es que te grito y te repito que yo a ti te necesito

Te necesito como las aves necesitan de su nido
Te necesito como si fuera un huerfanito ya perdido
Soy como un barco que en la espesura de la niebla no ve un faro

Gonna Take A Lot Of River

Composer(s): Mark Henley; John Kurhajetz
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and nothing's going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Well, I wish I was a tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Is she in New Orleans, is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her, she's got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Te Hablo
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Te hablo desde el corazón
yo se lo que es vivir en las tinieblas
parece que el alma se queda
sin salir a escena
Te hablo desde mas aca
sigo buscando lo imposible
hacer que la vida sea vivible
y no engañar

Habra pasado mucho tiempo largo
habra quedado tanto en el costado
habra llegado un tiempo tan distinto
seguro te habras enamorado
Si esto es la vida
no se que hacer para que creas
te han confinado te han lastimado con mentiras
no puedo prometerte nada
no puedo decirte nada
mas que vivas

Te hablo desde el corazón
no vale ya vivir arrepentido
no hay deudas posibles, ni culpas
te matan pero te dejan vivo
Habra pasado …
Si esto es la v ida …
mas que vivas
mas que sigas
mas que vivas
mas que sigas
