Pour Quelques Centimes ((Adapted from: Nickel Song (Melanie Safka) - 1971)) Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1971
On sait que je ne suis pas joueuse Pourtant on joue sur mon nom Pour quelques centimes Je leur chante une chanson Lalala... Pour quelques centimes Je leur chante une chanson
Oui, c'est comme une boîte à musique Un piano mécanique oui Si le jeu est illégal Dans mon état d'esprit tant pis J'aurais quelques centimes Chaque fois qu'on me fait du mal Je serais plus riche encore Que tout ce qui fait si mal
Chacun veut le plus possible En donnant le minimum Oui chacun veut le plus possible En donnant le minimum
Oui je ne sais pas beaucoup de choses Mais je suis sûre de dire vrai Nous donnons très peu de bon Pour être débarrassé du mauvais Nous aurions quelques centimes Chaque fois qu'on nous fait du mal Nous serions plus riche encore Que tout ce qui fait si mal
Chacun veut le plus possible En donnant le minimum Oui, chacun veut le plus possible En donnant le minimum
Lalala... Pour quelques centimes Je leur chante une chanson Lalala... Pour quelques centimes Je leur chante une chanson Lalala...
Cierta Historia De Amor Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Yo era un muchacho tranquilo Hasta que di con mi sueño más dorado Que era una mujer algo mayor que yo Ella tenía 35 y yo 18 para mi favor (Favor dudoso)
Empezó por regalarme Dos camisas y un vestido Para que yo se los diera a mi mamá A eso le siguió una lluvia de pequeños regalitos para mí (Para mí entierro)
Hasta me froté las manos Cuando supe que vivía sola Desde que por fin se divorcio Y en su casa hice meriendas, comidas y desayunos hasta engordar (Casi reviento, como verán)
Lo tenía todo, y me puse ocioso Me pasaba el día de la lectura al amor ¿Qué quiere mi dueño? ¿Qué quiere mi encanto? Me decía con voz azucarada si me iba a mover
Mi amigos comentaban Que yo si eran un bárbaro del diablo Y la fama de conquistador nació Las pepillas me buscaban, yo me pellizcaba el brazo para ver (Si era soñando)
Aprendí, de un buen amigo A pegarle a mi mujer A llevar los pantalones, como es la tradición Y ella iba a mi trabajo, para sorprenderme en algo ilegal (Era normal)
Me di cuenta que las cosas Ya no estaban es su sitio Cuando me empezó a coser la ropa encima, al salir Después vino la algazara, las denuncias y los llantos al dormir (Y pasó el tiempo)
Decidí dejarla cuando una noche Desperté y la vi que se lanzaba sobre mí Con unas tijeras de podar sus matas Mientras me juraba que no iba a ver a otra mujer jamás
Me puse las botas y salí corriendo Entre amenazas que no puedo repetir Me puse las botas y salí corriendo Sin sueños dorados, pero a salvo el honor
Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden Een home computer had gestaan Hij kon al dat ploeteren vermijden Hij deed gewoon het knopje aan Zelf riep hij even uit de keuken "Hee Hendrikje zet jij de zaak op print Ik wil wel iets met licht en donker Kijken wat m'n moeder daarvan vindt"
refrein: Terwijl hij onderuitgezakt de krant las Kreeg hij opeens een lumineus idee "Hee Stoffels, mijn pantoffels die ik kwijt was Die staan natuurlijk achter de TV"
Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden De omroep belt: zeg kom eens mee Dan kon hij praten in een panel Over kunst en sport en WVC Het stond onder leiding van Rien Poortvliet En hoeveel was zijn uitkoopsom En of hij zich wat vlot kon kleden Want zo'n baretje staat zo dom
refrein
Als dan bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden 's Avonds de buis wordt aangezet Ziet hij zich van de glijbaan glijden Zo in een modderbad ballet Ach, Rembrandt staat wat punten achter Frans Hals; die wint de eerste prijs Hij mag een wens doen Hij roept smachtend "Terug naar de Gouden Eeuw, een enkele reis!"
P.S.: hij woonde niet in Leiden Hij was een keer verhuisd naar Amsterdam Nee, Rembrandt was niet te benijden Dat was toch jammer voor zo'n man

Well you know that I'm not a gambler but I'm being gambled on they put in a nickel and I sing a little song da-da-da-da... they put in a nickel and I sing a little song

Well I don't know so many things but I know what's been goin' on We're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong and if we had a nickel for each time that we've been put on we'd all be their nickel man and we'd sing a nickel song
you know they're only putting in a nickel and they win a dollar song oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little, to get rid of a lot that's wrong oh, they're only putting in a nickel to win a dollar song

Cierro mis ojos Para que tú no sientas Ningún miedo Cierro mis ojos Para escuchar tu voz diciendo amor Para que digas hoy de verdad Lo mucho que me quieres Para que creas para que pienses Que ni te escucho yo Cierro mis ojos Para que tú me quieras libremente Para que tú me mires y no tiembles Y puedas darme tu amor Tal como es Cierro mis ojos Para que beses mis manos Y mi frente Para que corran tus dedos por mi piel Yo no te veré, yo no te veré Puedes hacer lo que quieras conmigo No te miraré, no te miraré Hasta que tú me lo pidas, amor

The Next Time I'm In Town Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler
Now it's been somethin' seein' you again In this time we've had to spend You've been so good to be around I thank you for that special thrill Keep me going on until The next time I'm in town
Though I won't be back here for a while Or hear your laughter, see you smile And I'll remember what went down I can't tell you how or when But I'll be seeing you again The next time I'm in town
Now the faces and the places range 'cross the bridge of time and change Once again I'm homeward bound There's one thing I promise you And that's another rendezvous The next time I'm in town
Now it's been something seeing you again And in this time we've had to spend You've been so good to be around And I thank you for that special thrill Keep me goin' on until The next time I'm in town 'Til the next time I'm in town 'Til the next time I'm in town

The Next Time Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Philip Springer Performer(s): Cliff Richard
They say I'll love again some day a truer love will come my way, the next time But after you, there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness in someone else's warm caress, the next time I'll soon forget your kiss and heartache such as this will just be ancient history
They say that I'm a fool to weep that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time That someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time when I'm still so very much in love with you?
They say that I'm a fool to weep that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time That someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time when I'm still so very much in love with you?

Relight My Fire Composer(s): Dan Hartman Performer(s): Dan Hartman; and various other artists
Help me escape this feeling of insecurity I need you so much but I don't think you really need me But if we all stand up in the name of love And state the case of what we're dreamin' of I've got to say I only dream of you But like a thief in the night You took away the love that I knew
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Turn back the time till the days when our love was new, do you remember No matter what was happenin I was there with you, aha But if we all stand up for what we believe And maybe live within our possibilities The world would be wild for the dream So baby don't turn away Listen to what I gotta say
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Yeah, you gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night (yeah) There's a new day on the other side(yeah) You gotta have hope in your soul Just keep on walkin Just keep on walkin
Strong enough to walk on through the night There's a new day on the other side Cos I got hope in my soul And I'll keep walking baby Keep on walking baby
The Next Man That I Marry Composer(s): Terry Cashman - Gene Pistilli - Tommy West Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce
The last face that I looked on Can't recall too much about The image of it left me Each time the lights went out The last mind that I wandered I remember how I ran Just to find the road had ended Just where it began
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much
The next hands that I hide in Will be warm and dry as smoke Just as satisfied to hold me As to dust my winter coat The next soul that I sleep in Will be soft as summer rain And when I need more lovin' He'll love me once again
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much Just like you

De la Sierra Morena Cielito lindo, vienen bajando Un par de ojitos negros Cielito lindo, de contrabando
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Pajaro que abandona Cielito lindo, su primer nido Si lo encuentra ocupado Cielito lindo, bien merecido
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ese lunar que tienes Cielito lindo, junto a la boca No se lo des a nadie Cielito lindo que a mi me toca
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Si tu boquita, morena Fuera de azucar, fuera de azucar Yo me lo pasaría Cielito lindo, chupa que chupa
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
De tu casa a la mía Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso Ahora que estamos solos Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
'Cause up in Newcastle They have very strange mating habits All the young women of Newcastle Walk down the main street Which is called Hunter Street (for reasons which will become obvious later on in the song) And all the young men of Newcastle Drive down Hunter Street In their hot FJ Holdens With chrome-plated grease nipples and double reverse twin cam door handles Sitting eight abreast in the front seat And they would lean out the window And say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath
Like uhhh.... 'G'day' And every now and then of course One of the young ladies thinks to herself uuum, uuuuuum
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
Anyway there was this mob of blokes driving down Hunter Street In the front seat of their hot FJ With chrome-plated grease nipples and twin overhead foxtails And the cooolest of them all Who got to sit near the window Was young Normie
They pulled up outside the Parthenon milkbar And standing outside the Parthenon Was this beautiful looking sheila 'Oooohh'... 'Oooooohh'... said young Normie Who'd come top of his class in English 'Ooooohh'... he said So he leaned out the window and he said real suave like he said... 'Uh, G'day'
This nine foot tall Hells Angel Came out of the Parthenon milkbar He looked at Norm and said 'Oh what are ya!' Norm said 'What are you?' The bloke on the footpath said 'Do you wanna go do ya mate, eh' Norm said 'yeah, do you wanna go, mate' The bloke on the footpath said 'Yeah, I'll have a go' Norm said, 'Do you know who ya pickin'' The bloke on the footpath said 'Nooo, who am I pickin'' Norm said, 'You find out!'
And all of a sudden there was a break in the traffic As any young Newcastle lad knows When you are getting monstered by a nine foot tall Hells Angel And there's a break in the traffic...
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by

The New Soft Shoe
Composer(s): Gram Parsons
Performer(s): Gram Parsons
It was forty or fifty years ago
A big shot played with time
Mister Walker held the door
And both kept Cord and line
Watched and checked on every single day
Building his own special cars
His very special way
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
And then walking through a southern road
I saw a shoeshine stand
A man was talking to a crowd
Holding slippers in his hands
Don't you know the same thing happens
Each and every day?
Did you ever hear a song
That's hard to even play?
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Then a color TV broadcast
Snuck from New Orleans
Showed me one more man who spoke
and wore bright blue and green
When you saw him talk his way
Was when he showed his claws
And spoke to people every day
Just to get applause
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe...
