The Chieftain's Daughter
The Chieftain's Daughter (aka Chief Bright Sky)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): George Vinton Graham
In autumn when evening was spreading
Her pinions of darkness o'er all
In numbers the Indians came treading
Approaching Niagara Falls
For the love of tradition had taught them
That one of their tribe every year
At the casting of lots should be chosen
To pass down the Falls without fear
The Chieftain had only one daughter
He loved her as loved he his life
Possessing the braveness he taught her
She fears not, though costing her life
They thought that the Chieftain would surely
Have them to cast lots o'er once more
But nothing unfair did he claim her
She left them and marched off to shore
A coffin, canoe and a paddle
Lie waiting for her to step in
Long farewell to pony and saddle
Long farewell to forest and kin
And just as a moonbeam was sparkling
To gather her in its bright beam
She quickly pushed out her boat light
And silently rowed down the stream
Now out from the banks of the river
A boat was seen skimming the tide
Oh, see how he loves his daughter
He takes of his place by her side
But one weeps alone in the moonlight
On the night comes a pitying cry
From a mother who makes her heart quiver
For daughter and Chieftain Bright Sky

Cantorcito De Contramano
Cantorcito De Contramano
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano
a la gente le costo mucho para verte triunfar
y mientras vos cantabas yo creo que tu mente
estaba en otro lado contando las entradas
Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste
ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte
Quien te dijo que la gente
se levanta alegre para ir a trabajar
lamento decirte pero estas equivocado
la gente solo rie si le dicen la verdad
La verdad no deberia ofender a nadie
el que no la acepta es porque mintiendo esta
Yo creo que sos bueno y sos un padre ejemplar
con eso no me meto te deseo lo mejor
de todo corazon te lo digo como hermano
porque a pesar de todo de la misma patria somos
La gente ya quiere escuchar otra cancion
se sienten impotentes si un cantor no los defiende
El indio hace vasija y artesania en barro
y luego van de aqum y se la compran por dos mangos
eso por ejemplo es decir una verdad
y quedan muchas mas que podrias vos cantar
La gente te pide que ahora pagues una entrada
ellos quieren verse alguna vez triunfar
Vamos ,vamos cantorcito que andas de contramano
tus letras siempre dicen que anda todo todo bien
te doy un consejo aporta un poquito mas
tu forma de pensar se quedo en el club del clan
Devolvele al pueblo la cancion que le sacaste
ellos siempre estan dispuestos a perdonarte

Canto Por Ti
Canto Por Ti
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Yo pensé que en esta noche cantaría
como otras noches he cantado por ahí
Sin saber que tú vendrías a escucharme
y a sentarte frente a mí
Como ves ahora yo soy un cantante
no soy nada de lo que te prometí
Mis canciones van quedando en cualquier parte
y ahora te buscan a ti
Canto por ti, porque aún tú tienes alas para vivir
Canto por ti, porque tú sabes cuál viento es para mí
Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad
Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más
Yo creí que con el tiempo olvidaría
lo que un día juntos nos tocó vivir
Nuestra mesa nuestro pan, nuestra alegría
Y la canción que te escribí
Canto por ti, porque tú puedes creer en lo irreal
Canto por ti, porque yo soy sólo un hombre y tu eres más
Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad
Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más
Canto por ti, porque aún tú tienes alas para vivir
Canto ti, porque tú sabes cuál viento es para mí
Canto por ti, porque sabes mi mentira y mi verdad
Canto por ti, porque el tiempo me enseñó que tú eres más
Canto por ti, porque tú puedes creer en lo irreal
Canto por ti, porque yo soy sólo un hombre y tú eres más

Chicken Cordon Bleus
Chicken Cordon Bleus
Composer(s): Paula Ballan - Steve Goodman - Tony Mandel
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
When I first met you baby
You fed me on chicken and wine
It was steak and potatoes and lobster
And babe I sure felt fine
But now all you ever give me
Is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts
And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts
You left me here with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
My stomach is empty and all I got is food for thought
I been up all nite thinkin'
'Bout the twenty pounds of groceries we bought
We bought ten pounds of brown rice
And five more of beans
And five pounds of granola
And you know what that means
I'm just a regular fella with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
I'm starved for affection
And I don't think I can stand no more
This stuff is so weird
That the cock roaches moved next door
Can you see that old dog out in the street
He's got a big smile on his face
'Cause they let him meat
Babe, I got the lemon and the Chicken Cordon Bleus
Yeah I'm goin' down to the baker and get me a cannoli
And maybe a chocolate eclair would be nice...

Canto Libre
Canto Libre
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Inti-Illimani; Francesca Ancarola
El verso es una paloma
que busca donde anidar
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar
Mi canto es un canto libre
que se quiere regalar
mi canto es un canto libre
A quien le estreche su mano
a quien quiera disparar
mi canto es un canto libre
Mi canto es una cadena
sin comienzo ni final
y en cada eslabon se encuentra
el canto de los demas
Sigamos cantando juntos
a toda la humanidad
Sigamos cantando juntos
que el canto es una paloma
que vula para encontrar
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar
Mi canto es un canto libre

Now 's your time burn your mind

dimmi che è vero

dimmi che noi non siamo stati mai
lontani

Scusa
credevo proprio che tu fossi sola
credevo non ci fosse nessuno con te
oh scusami tanto se puoi
signore chiedo scusa anche a lei
ma io ero proprio fuori di me
io ero proprio fuori di me quando dicevo
posso stringerti le mani
come sono fredde tu tremi
no, non sto sbagliando mi ami
dimmi che è vero

Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Composer(s): Gary Portnoy - Judy Hart Angelo
Performer(s): Gary Portnoy
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those night when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiancé didn't show
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came...

Canto Arena
Canto Arena
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Word of Mouth
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región
tomando señas, descifrando encrucijadas
mi cuerpo sigue practicando su cuestión
cruje mi hueso y se hace la palabra
Hoy continué domesticando la razón
llena de asombro ante el día sucedido
proyecto un rápido boceto de la acción
trazo versiones que capturo del olvido
Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
He puesto filo al anhelante corazón
arrojo estrellas a mecharse contra vientos
el sueño ha desencadenado la canción
y la canción de hoy me sabe a juramento
La prisa lleva maravilla y lleva error
pero viajamos sobre rueda encabritada
he despertado en el ojo del ciclón
cuento millones de agujeros en el alma
Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región
con dulce látigo de abeja en la conciencia
hoy me perdí amar con planificación
pero gane a lo que partió con la prudencia
Hoy continué dándole cuerda a mi reloj
con timbre atado sobre número invisible
poco me importa donde rompa mi estación
si cuando rompe está rompiendo lo imposible
Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna

Fiorellino
Fiorellino
French & Spanish Titles:
Petite Fleur; Florecita
Performer(s): Sidney Bechet
L'ho nascosto meglio che in un qualsiasi
altro posto
nel grande giardino del mio cuore
fiorellino
Questo fiore più grazioso di un bouquet
custodisce un segreto
Tutti i miei sogni d'infanzia
l'amore dei miei genitori
e tutte quelle albe
fatte di lieti ricordi lontani
Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito
tu resti la mia fortuna (o portafortuna)
fiorellino
Sui miei 20 anni
io mi fermo un momento
per respirare
il profumo che ho tanto amato
Dentro il mio cuore
tu fiorirai sempre
nel grande giardino dell'amore
fiorellino....
Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito

Sui miei 20 anni

Clémentine Et Léon
Clémentine Et Léon
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Clémentine et Léon Barentin
Qui vendaient des pendules à Pantin
Se sont connus un jour en prenant leur journal
À côté du café du Canal
Et le jour de la St-Valentin
Ils se sont mariés sans parents ni parrains
La fanfare avait joué des musiques de Chopin
Clémentine et Léon étaient bien
Pendant qu'elle attendait les clients
Clémentine astiquait les cadrans
Et Léon tout au fond dans son beau tablier
Réparait les horloges du quartier
À côté du cahier, des tampons
Il y avait sur la caisse une corbeille de bonbons
Les coucous qui sonnaient du matin jusqu'au soir
Donnaient l'heure, la demie et le quart
Clémentine eut deux fils de Léon
Il fallut agrandir la maison
On reprit pour pas cher sa boutique au voisin
Jusque-là les affaires marchaient bien
Mais la guerre est venue tout défaire
Clémentine a pleuré pour ses fils et leur père
Les pendules ont cessé d'égayer la maison
Quand Léon s'en alla pour le front
Clémentine a vendu ses bijoux
Accrocché son alliance à son cou
Les enfants qui donnaient du travail à foison
Lui faisait oublier les saisons
Les horloges arrêtées sur une heure
Attendaient le retour du soldat de son cœur
Quand Léon apparut dans la porte un beau soir
Elle a dû se pincer pour y croire
Clémentine et Léon Barentin
Pour le jour de la St-Valentin
Ont rouvert la boutique et l'ont rebaptisée
On entendit les bruits des baisers
Il avait fabriqué de ses mains
Un carillon qui jouait sur un air de Chopin
Ils avaient invité pour l'inauguration
Les amis, les voisins
Les enfants, les cousins
La fanfare, et même tout l'orphéon
Clémentine et Léon

Canto Al Sol
Canto Al Sol
Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti
Performer(s): Raphael
Amanecer en la tierra
Que esta junto a la colina
Ver despertar una encina
Que en el dia reverdece
Con amor ya le agradece
El calor que el sol envia
Cantan su melancolia
Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol
Yo canto a la madre naturaleza
Amanecer en la tierra
Que esta junto a una colina
Cantando la golondrina
Dice que el frio se muere
Ella en sus alas no quiere
Tocar esta tierra fria
Cantan su melancolia
Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol
Yo canto a la madre naturaleza

Fiona And Shane
Fiona And Shane
Performer(s): Anne Byrne
The swaying pines of eventide
The blue sky up above
All voices hushed and silent now
Fiona dreams of love
Her heart is filled with grief and fear
Her dreams they are all in vain
She listens to the westwind's sigh
And dreams that it speaks to her of Shane
Chorus:
Fiona, oh Fiona
the westwind whispers plain
Fiona, oh Fiona
I bring love greetings from Shane
Shane is betrothed to another love
He tries to be true and kind
He'll not look in Fiona's pale green eyes
His love for her he just can't seem to hide
One day she went to the forest green
she could not longer bear to stay
in silence now she roams the woods
and the green pines sing all the way
Chorus
One day he went to the forest green
in search of wild deer and game
a young girl smiling with pale green eyes
starts to speak to young Shane
His heart remembered his love so true
he tried but he failed to explain
in silence now he roams the woods
and the westwinds speak to Shane
Last chorus:
Fiona, oh Fiona
her love was without a stain
Fiona, oh Fiona
oh you never love another, poor Shane
Fiona, Fiona, Fiona
