Zoological Gardens (Traditional) Performer(s): The Dubliners; Tom Donovan; The Rising Pints
Thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin City is in the dark So if you've any money, go up to the park And view the Zoological Gardens
We went up there to see the zoo We saw the lion and the kangaroo There was he-males and she-males of every hue Up in the Zoological Gardens
We went out there by Castleknock Says she to me "Sure, we'll court on the lock" Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock From outside the Zoological Gardens
Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin City is in the dark So if you've any money, go up to the park And view the Zoological Gardens
We went up there on our honeymoon Says she to me "If you don't come soon I'll have to get in with the hairy baboon" Up in the Zoological Gardens
Says she to me "It's seven o'clock And time for me to be changin' me frock For I'd love to see that old cockatoo" Up in the Zoological Gardens
Says she to me "Me lovely Jack Sure I'd love a ride on the elephant's back If you don't get out of that I'll give you such a crack" Up in the Zoological Gardens
Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin City is in the dark So if you've any money go up to the park And view the Zoological Gardens

Yo paso por la vida Con las manos abiertas Acariciando el aire Tocando las estrellas Llevándome conmigo Todas las cosas bellas Todas las cosas dulces Todas las cosas buenas Yo paso por la vida Con las manos abiertas Por eso al conocerte He querido retenerte Y con mis manos Ofrecerte lo mejor Un poco de alegría Una alegre melodía Y los sueños que latían En mi corazón Yo, yo paso por la vida Con las manos abiertas Acariciando el aire Tocando las estrellas Pero si tú me quieres Las cerraré con fuerza Y en mis manos cerradas Guardaré nuestro amor

Zo jong en mooi Meisje jij bent jong en mooi Maar denk eraan Dat gaat snel voorbij Want voor, jij, want voor jij het beseft Zijn je jaren, je jonge jaren al voorbij
En morgen, wacht niet meer tot morgen Want morgen, is misschien te laat Kom gauw, bij, kom maar gauw dicht bij mij Voor de liefde, onze liefde overgaat
Eén keer in je leven Komt zo iets toch voor Oh, ik hou van jou, en jij van mij Oh my darling blijf bij mij
Zonder jou, ik kan niet meer zonder jou Want zonder jou, voel ik mij alleen Kom gauw ,bij, kom maar gauw dicht bij mij Voor de liefde, ja onze liefde overgaat
Eén keer in je leven Komt zo iets toch voor Ik hou van jou en jij van mij Oh my darling blijf bij mij
Zonder jou, ik kan niet meer zonder jou Want zonder jou ,voel ik mij alleen Kom gauw, bij, kom maar gauw dicht bij mij Voor de liefde, ja onze liefde, overgaat
Nació cerca del potrero donde no había ni un caballo recibió la luz del cielo con relámpagos y rayos
El no conoció la escuela donde fueron sus hermanos porqué él ya tenía la fuerza en el puño de sus manos
Un hermano de su padre boxeador ya retirado le regaló el par de guantes con los que él había ganado y no le quedaron grandes cuando tumbó al diablo Vega el campeón de todo barrio
Llegó a ser el campeón del mundo no había quien lo enfrentara hasta luego llegó el valiente y peleó en Guadalajara
Salió a ganar como siempre desde la primer campana le pegó hasta que la muerte se le dibujó en la cara
El lloró con la victoria y maldijo su destino porque conquistó la gloria pero se sintió asesino después aventó los guantes y salió de las cuerdas a buscar cualquier camino

Rose Coloured Glasses Composer(s): Scott McCarl Performer(s): The Raspberries
I'm an ivory tower boy Never quite put down the toys I always made the best of them all I see only sunny skies With the world in my eyes I never seem to find the crack or the fault
I see it all through rose-coloured glasses And I only see what matters to me I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah The one that I chose Is coloured rose
It's a funny sort of haze All full of dreams of yesterdays And the dreams are so real you could cry And you know the grass is green On the side you've never seen And the thought is what helps you get by
Chorus
As I grow a little more And wonder what this all is for And the brass ring is slipping away I will keep the glasses near Maybe shed a quiet tear Maybe smile inside as I say
I see it all through rose-coloured glasses And I only see what matters to me I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah The one that I chose Is coloured
Con Il Nastro Rosa Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Inseguendo una libellula in un prato un giorno che avevo rotto col passato quando già credevo d'esserci riuscito, son caduto una frase sciocca un volgare doppio senso mi ha allarmato: non e' come io la penso ma il sentimento era già un po' troppo denso e son restato chissà, chissà chi sei chissà che sarai, chissà che sarà di noi lo scopriremo solo vivendo comunque adesso ho un po' paura, ora che quest'avventura sta diventando una storia vera spero tanto tu sia sincera un magazzino che contiene tante casse alcune nere, alcune gialle, alcune rosse dovendo scegliere e studiare le mie mosse sono all'impasse mi sto accorgendo che son giunto dentro casa con la mia cassa ancora con il nastro rosa e non vorrei aver sbagliato la mia spesa o la mia sposa chissà, chissà chi sei chissà che sarai, chissà che sarà di noi lo scopriremo solo vivendo comunque adesso ho un po' paura, ora che quest'avventura sta diventando una storia vera spero tanto tu sia sincera
Rose And The Thorn Composer(s): Stacy Sutherland Performer(s): 13th Floor Elevators
A brand new smile on a brand new angel's face It won't change, it won't change You're here to stay until your last living breath is complete It' won't change, it won't change Here she comes, my love with the earth beneath her feet my love she comes She cares I do not ask her why she cares she cares And this is not untold within her eyes spoken by her soul The dawn of truth will rise! Liberty will find us Grown cold, and make him stoned The canon stops it's firing the unknown soldier will come home Faith cannot remain wicked words have been confirmed false A single drop of the rain the rose and and thorn... The Rise and the Fall!
The Yip! Song Composer(s): Robyn Hitchcock Performer(s): Robyn Hitchcock
The old man, he was flesh - they wheeled him in upon a trolley Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn Draw a window on his skin
This old man, he was next - blindfolded to face the volley Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn Love will come of all our sins Painted on my tail fin now Vera Lynn
This old man preserved - in his mind he lay with Molly Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn Septicemia always wins Cleanse us with your healing grin now Vera Lynn
Coma high, coma low Blood is precious, yes or no? I believe in surgery - and that's a fact I believe in making it easy I believe in surgery, but I never act I believe in making it easy
Easy...
This old man, he was gone-he was gone and I was sorry Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn Down I spiral, down I spin Forces sweetheart, I'm your twin now Vera Lynn
Con El Sol De La Mañana Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti Performer(s): Raphael
Hoy quiere llorar mi amor Este es mi dolor por ti Grita con mi corazón tu voz Por volver a aquel ayer Y así siento con mi ansiedad tu piel Jugar con la soledad y yo Sin poderte olvidar Sin lograr ser como fui Que vagaba sin pensar Que reía del amor y de la vida Si con el sol de la mañana Llega el día y tengo ganas de vivir Ya no canto viejas melodías Que contigo compartí Y yo no sé mirar lo hermoso de este mundo Si conmigo tú no estás Porque tu recuerdo a mí me lastima Y por ti quiero llorar

Con Diez Años De Menos Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Si fuera diez años más joven, qué feliz y qué descaminado el tono de decir cada palabra desatando un temporal y enloqueciendo la etiqueta ocasional
Los años son, pues, mi mordaza, oh mujer sé demasiado me convierto en mi saber Quisiera haberte conocido años atrás para sacar chispas del agua que me das para empuñar la alevosía y el candor y saber olvidar mejor
Esta mujer propone que salte y me estrelle contra un muro de piedras que alza en el cielo y como combustible me llena de anhelos de besos sin promesa y sentencias sin leyes
Esta mujer propone un pacto que selle la tierra con el viento, la luz con la sombra invoca los misterios del tiempo y me nombra Esta mujer propone que salte y me estrelle sólo para verle sólo para amarle sólo para serle sólo y no olvidarle
Con diez años de menos, no habría esperado por sus proposiciones y hubiera corrido como una fiera al lecho en que nos conocimos impúdico y sangriento, divino y alado
Con diez años de menos, habría blasfemado con savia de su cuerpo quemaría los templos para que los cobarde tomaran ejemplo Con diez años de menos, hubiera matado sólo para verle sólo para amarle sólo para serle sólo y no olvidarle
The Yellow Rose Of Texas/The Eyes Of Texas Composer(s): Wise - Starr - Sinclair - Lance Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Oh the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl I love Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go I'll remember her forever because I love her so
There are so many roses that bloom along the way But my heart's in Amarillo and that's where it will stay With the yellow rose of Texas so I'd better get there fast 'Cause I know I was her first love and I want to be her last
Oh the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl I love Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go I'll remember her forever because I love her so
The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn The eyes of Texas are upon you 'til Gabriel blows his horn
The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn The eyes of Texas are upon you 'til Gabriel blows his horn
The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn The eyes of Texas are upon you 'til Gabriel blows his horn
Comunque Bella Composer(s): Mogol-Battisti Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Tu vestita di fiori o di fari in città con la nebbia o i colori cogliere le rose a piedi nudi e poi con la sciarpa stretta al collo bianca come mai ma eri bella bella comunque bella quando l'arcobaleno era in fondo ai tuoi occhi quando sotto al tuo seno l'ira avvelenava il cuore tuo tu vedevi un'altra donna avvicinarsi a me prima ancora che io capissi e riscegliessi te tu eri bella bella comunque bella anche quando un mattino tornasti vestita di pioggia con lo sguardo stravolto da una notte d'amore "siediti qui" "non ti chiedo perdono perché tu sei un uomo" coi capelli bagnati "so che capirai" con quei segni sul viso "mi spiace da morire, sai" coi tuoi occhi arrossati mentre tu mentivi e mi dicevi che ancor più di prima tu amavi me tu eri bella bella, comunque bella
