Eldorado


Eldorado
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Gens de partout
Sages et fous
écoutez bien la ballade
De celui-là
Qui s'en alla
Pour trouver l'Eldorado

Comme autrefois
Princes et rois
S'en allaient pour les croisades
Il a laissé
Tout son passé
Pour trouver l'Eldorado

Crinière au vent
Le mors aux dents
En folle cavalcade
Que cherchait-il
Vers cet exil
Là-bas en Eldorado?

Sur mon cheval
Sous les étoiles
Et le soleil en cascade
Pour que demain
Brille en nos mains
Tout l'or de l'Eldorado

Il a traîné
Comme un damné
De mirage en mirage
Il a vieilli
Jour après nuit
Sans trouver l'Eldorado

Mais la mort
Qui l'avait suivi
En fidèle camarade
Lui a dit: "Viens
Je connais bien
La terre d'Eldorado"

On l'a trouvé
Le front brûlé
Par le soleil et le sable
Sur le chemin
Qui va sans fin
Là-bas, en Eldorado

La nuit, parfois
Chante une voix
C'est son âme en ballade
Qui cherche encore
La poudre d'or
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado

If You Come Back


If You Come Back
Composer(s): Lee Brennan; Formescu; Ishama Hope; Ruffin
Performer(s): Blue



C'mon c'mon
Yeah
Can you feel me?
(Baby can you feel me?)
I got something to say
Check it out

For all this time
I've been lovin' you girl
Oh yes I have
And ever since the day
You left me here alone
I've been trying to find
Oh, the reason why

So if I did something wrong please tell me
I wanna understand
'Cos I don't want this love to ever end

And I swear
If you come back in my life
I'll be there 'til the end of time
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side
'Cos baby you're the one I want
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
Oh yes you are

I watched you go
Takin' my heart with you
Oh yes you did
Every time I try to reach you on the phone
Baby you're never there
Girl you're never home

So if I did something wrong please tell me
I wanna understand
'Cos I don't want this love to ever end
No, no, no, no

And I swear
If you come back in my life
I'll be there 'til the end of time
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side
'Cos baby you're the one I want
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
Oh yes you are

Maybe I didn't know how to show it
(How to show it)
Maybe I didn't know what to say
(What to say)
This time I won't disguise
(Won't disguise)
Then we can build our lives
And we can be as one (be as one)

I swear
If you come back in my life
I'll be there 'til the end of time
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
Oh yeah
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side
(By my side)
'Cos baby you're the one I want
(Back to me, back to me, baby come back)
Oh yes you are, by my side

And I swear
If you come back in my life
Baby, 'til the end of time
(Back to me, back to me, back into my life)
Oh yeah
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side...

Elaeudanla Téïtéïa


Elaeudanla Téïtéïa
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
First release: Serge Gainsbourg - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Sur ma remington portative
J'ai écrit ton nom Laetitia
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

Laetitia les jours qui se suivent
Hélas ne se ressemblent pas
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

C'est ma douleur que je cultive
En frappant ces huit lettres-là
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

C'est une fleur bien maladive
Je la touche du bout des doigts
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

S'il faut aller à la dérive
Je veux bien y aller pour toi
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

Ma raison en définitive
Se perd dans ces huit lettres là
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

Sur ma remington portative
J'ai écrit ton nom Laetitia
Elaeudanla Téïtéïa

If You Can't Get A Girl In The Summertime (You'll Never Get A Girl At All)


If You Can't Get A Girl In The Summertime (You'll Never Get A Girl At All)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Tierney



The cold, cold winter has gone
It passed away, Hurray!
And now the summer is on
It's time to play Hurray!
Boys get together and choose your mate
Now's the time to get them
They all want love in the summer time
Your chances then are great

Just look 'em straight in the eye
Then heave a sigh, Oh my!
And tip your hat to the sky
Another sigh Oh my!
She'll smile a little bit acting shy
When she does it's over
Don't waste your time in the summer time
'Cause summer soon goes by

If you can't get a girl in the summer time
You'll never get a girl at all
Peaches are ripe in the summer time
And that's the time they fall
At the beaches there's a raft of them
Lovely peaches go right after them
You'll hear the wild waves saying
Go get them, go pet them
Don't miss a kiss in the summer time
Or you'll never kiss a Miss in the Fall
And if you can't get a girl in the summer time
You'll never get a girl at all

Ela E Sua Janela


Ela E Sua Janela
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ela e sua menina
Ela e seu tricô
Ela e sua janela, espiando
Com tanta moça aí
Na rua o seu amor
Só pode estar dançando
Da sua janela
Imagina ela
Por onde ele anda
E ela vai talvez
Sair uma vez
Na varanda

Ela e um fogareiro
Ela e seu calor
Ela e sua janela, esperando
Com tão pouco dinheiro
Será que o seu amor
Ainda está jogando
Da sua janela
Uma vaga estrela
E um pedaço de lua
E ela vai talvez
Sair outra vez
Na rua

Ela e seu castigo
Ela e seu penar
Ela e sua janela, querendo
Com tanto velho amigo
O seu amor num bar
Só pode estar bebendo
Mas outro moreno
Jogo um novo aceno
E uma jura fingida
E ela vai talvez
Viver duma vez
A vida

If You Can Want


If You Can Want
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & The Miracles; The Dirtbombs



Oh you may not love me now, but I'm stayin' around
'Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
And it's my philosophy that...

If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

Whenever you want me, I'll be there

Oh now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me, call any time at all
And for sure I'll be right there, 'cause...

If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

(I'll be there) whenever you want me

I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your heart give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until I abfiducate
When you want me all the time, 'cause...

(repeat):
If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

(I'll be there) whenever you want me

Ela É Dançarina


Ela É Dançarina
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



O nosso amor é tão bom
O horário é que nunca combina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Quando pego o ponto
Ela termina

Ou: quando abro o ghichê
É quando ela abaixa a cortina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Abro o meu armário
Salta serpentina

Nas questões de casal
Não se fala mal da rotina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Quando caio morto
Ela empina
Ou quando eu tchum no colchão
É quando ela tchan no cenário
Ela é dançarina
Eu sou funcionário
O seu planetário
Minha lamparina

No ano dois mil e um
Se juntar algum
Eu peço licença
E a dançarina, enfim
Já me jurou
Que faz o show
Pra mim

Ela é dançarina
Eu sou funcionário
Quando eu não salário
Ela, sim, propina

No ano dois mil e um
Se juntar algum
Eu peço a Deus do céu uma licença
E a dançarina, enfim
Já me jurou
Que faz o show
Pra mim

If You Came Back From Heaven


If You Came Back From Heaven
Composer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Richard Landis
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan



I wouldn't know what to say
I wouldn't know what to do
If you came back from Heaven
And I could look at you
Would I fumble for the words?
Would I be a little shy?
Would I bust right out with laughter?
Or break right down and cry?

Oh, if you came back from Heaven
Would it be like it was then?
Could we just pick up, where we left off
And try it all again?
Oh, if you came back from Heaven
It would freeze me in my tracks
And I hope God knows, if he let you go
I'd never send you back

Do your kisses feel the same?
Do you still have the same touch?
And will you whisper softly
'Cos you've missed me so much?
Have you heard all my prayers
When I lay down at night?
And did you feel my body
When I held your pillow tight?

Oh, if you came back from Heaven
Would it be like it was then?
Could we just pick up, where we left off
And try it all again?
Oh, if you came back from Heaven
It would freeze me in my tracks
And I hope God knows, if he let you go
I'd never send you back

And if, God forbid
You leave this Earth again while I see
I hope he knows, if you go
You'll be bringing me

Oh, if you came back from Heaven
Would it be like it was then?
Could we just pick up, where we left off
And try it all again?
Oh, if you came back from Heaven
It would freeze me in my tracks
And I hope God knows, if he let you go
I'd never send you back

I hope God knows, if he let you go
I'd never send you back

Ela Desatinou


Ela Desatinou
Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Ela desatinou
Viu chegar quarta-feira
Acabar brincadeira
Bandeiras se desmanchando
E ela inda está sambando

Ela desatinou
Viu morrer alegrias
Rasgar fantasias
Os dias sem sol raiando
E ela inda está sambando

Ela não vê que toda gente
Já está sofrendo normalmente
Toda cidade anda esquecida
Da falsa vida da avenida onde

Ela desatinou
Viu morrer alegrias
Rasgar fantasias
Os dias sem sol raiando
E ela inda está sambando

Quem não inveja a infeliz
Felia no seu mundo de cetim
Assim debochando
Da dor, do pecada
Do tempo perdido
Do jogo acabado

If You Belong To Me


If You Belong To Me
Composer(s): Steve Lukather; Stan Lynch; David Paich
Performer(s): Toto



I left you crying on that angry morning
You know I lied
I’ll always run from anything that loves me to my safe side
My world circles ’round a different sun
That’s all burned away
I know that you’re the only one
Now I’m walking down some distant street
And I know your touch is out of reach

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

Everybody has a lonely moment
They can’t explain
And everybody wants to feed their hunger
Without the pain

There’s no shadows in my hiding place
I’m so locked away
Now I wish that I could see your face
I know I hurt you when you say we’re through
I never really will get over you ’cause...

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

Girl you belong to me I know

And it was wrong of me to ever let you go

El Vuelo


El Vuelo
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Levanta el ave el vuelo
y aspira la infinita inmensidad
en ella no manda dueño
ni tormenta ni trueno

Levanta el ave el vuelo
y a veces yo la quisiera imitar
sabiendo que no puedo
no he de impedir su vuelo

If You Believe


If You Believe
From the film "There's No Business Like Show Business" (1954)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray



Brothers And sisters
Listen You non-believers, listen, you better start to believe
All you doubters, be "hallelujah shouters", or else you're going to grieve
There's no time to wait, you may be too late, so listen
You don't know what you're missin' until you start to believe

If you believe that there's a heaven
You'll get to heaven, if you believe
If you believe that there are angels
You'll see the angels, if you believe
I'm not making promises to the doubting Thomases
But if you believe the Lord can help you
The Lord will help you, if you believe
(We do, we do, we do)
Do you believe?
(We do, we do, we do)
Do you believe?
(We do, we do, we do)
Well, Jonah went out one night in a gale
Do you believe that?
(We do, we do, we do)
Soon, he was swallowed up by a whale
Do you believe that?
(We do, we do, we do)
Daniel lay down with lions that roared
Noah was on his ark when it poured
Moses looked up and he spoke to the Lord
Do you believe that? Do you believe that?
(We do, we do, we do)

El Vino Aquel


El Vino Aquel
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany



Quiero beber de nuevo el vino aquel
el que bebí en tu boca y me embriagué
tela sutil de la imaginación
que me devuelve el paraíso azul
noche sin luz para la tentación
cuando olvidé los dioses del perdón
y arrojé al mar la ropa del pudor
bailaban diablos de la seducción
Y eché a correr la sangre en rededor
y un alarido mordía el corazón
violé las puertas de la corrección
murió la vida en brazos del amor
y soportar de nuevo el vendaval
del que se va y ya no vuelve más
y anochecer de nuevo en soledad
seca la boca hambrienta de humedad
Será nomás que hay que callar
cuando el dolor no aguanta más
y regresar y recordar
hasta volverse experto en olvidar
y enmudecer mordiéndose
clavándose las uñas hasta sangrar
y abofetear la depresión
mientras Jesús solloza en un rincon...
Quiero beber de nuevo el vino aquel
el que bebí de tu boca y me embriagué
tela sutil de la imaginación
que me devuelve el paraíso azul
toda de gris la noche ya murió
viuda violando el luto que perdió
estoicamente el sol no amaneció
porque comprende porque no duermo yo...

If You Asked Me To


If You Asked Me To
Composer(s): Diane Warren
First release by: Patti Labelle - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists



Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believe in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

(But if you asked me to ...)

Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to, I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to ...

El Vigía


El Vigía
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Agua me pide el retoño
que tuvo empezar amargo
va a hacer falta un buen otoño
tras un verano tan largo

El verde se está secando
y el viento sur se demora
pero yo sigo esperando
que lleguen cantando
la lluvia y mi hora

Yo soy de un oficio viejo
como el arrollo y el viento
como el ave y el espejo
como el amor y el invento

yo solo soy un vigía
amigo del jardinero
con la pupila en el día
que llegará el aguacero
yo solo soy un vigía
amigo del jardinero

Agua me pide el retoño
que tuvo empezar amargo
va a hacer falta un buen otoño
tras un verano tan largo

El verde se está secando
y el viento sur se demora
pero yo sigo esperando
que lleguen cantando
la lluvia y mi hora

If You And I Could Be As Two


If You And I Could Be As Two
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Them



Was on a Sunday
And the autumn leaves were on the ground
I kicked my heart
When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through

What is this feeling, a-what can I do?

If you an' I, could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all
And more I would do, oh yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

And baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together?
A-walkin' through the park
A-baby then, then we could sing

Give ya' all my money
Ev'rything in the world that I had
You told me, "That don't mean a thing"

If still in darkness we could run
Together, there in that mornin' sun
I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you
Whoa-yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

Could be as two
Could be as two

Could be as two
Baby

El Viento, El Tiempo


El Viento, El Tiempo
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



No se trata de hallar un culpable
las historias no acaban porque alguien
escriba la palabra "fin"
No siempre hay un asesino
algunas veces toca morir...
lo que viene se va
como suele pasar
el viento, el viento
Márchate si ha llegado la hora
date prisa que, como ya sabes
es muy impaciente el amor...
No malgastes ni un segundo
después de daría cuerda al reloj
que un cumplido de más
no te vaya a robar
el tiempo, el tiempo
Y no queda nada
las espinas, las rosas
se las llevó
el viento, el tiempo...
Ahora sólo la vida te espera
con los brazos abiertos y el firme deseo
de hacerte feliz
Puedes irte cuando quieras
no hay muros que te impidan salir...
y no mires atrás
que te ya a despeinar
el viento, el viento
Qué difícil decirte "hasta luego'
cuando no es el terror de perderte
este miedo a no verte jamás
Ya no hay puntos suspensivos
llegó el rotundo punto final...
cuando la soledad
sólo espera matar
el tiempo, el tiempo
Y no queda nada...

If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')


If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')
Composer(s): Tommy Collins
Performer(s): Faron Young
and multiple other artists



If you got a Cadillac, boy
And a forty room shack, boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or muggin'
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on a gravy train
'Stead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hay, boy
You're goin' the wrong way, boy
You gotta get a little honey
It's better than money
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If they called you a big man
'Cause you got a lotta "bottom land"
If you're kin to the president
And you help run the government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If you got a string of long cars
And you're smokin' them four-bit cigars
Well you ain't so well to do
That you got a little koo-chi-koo
Takes a little bit of smackin'
All your life's a-lackin'
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Well, brother, then you ain't livin'

El Viento Eres Tú


El Viento Eres Tú
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Santiago Feliú; Silvio Rodríguez



A veces entra en el bosque un silbido veloz
que recorre fugaz la penumbra y la luz
y los árboles fríos del bosque soy yo

Todas las copas se postran a fin de existir
de no hacerlo, deshechas habrían de morir
y ese viento que trae la muerte eres tú

Eres la llama que abraza la flor
y la violencia del fiero huracán
la sombra oscura que sigue mi amor
Por qué, por qué tú sigues, di
matando este amor que hoy dejas

If We Try


If We Try
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter



I've been living memories
Lost in the warm of your smile
Driftin' through the dreams we used to share
Thinkin' 'bout the times we
spent in love without a care
And wishin' you were there

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

Summer time was feelin' good
Holdin' the world in our hands
Seemed like what we had was growin' strong
Never even crossed our minds that
love would soon be gone
I guess that we were wrong

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight,
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
(I'll be by your side)
'Cause we've got all those memories to guide us
And we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try
