Wondering Where The Lions Are Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn; and various other artists



Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay The world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun (Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...

Yo seré el viento que va

Amanhã, Ninguem Sabe


Amanhã, Ninguem Sabe
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Maria Farinha



Hoje, eu quero
Fazer o meu carnaval
Se o tempo passou, espero
Que ninguém me leve a mal
Mas se o samba quer que eu prossiga
Eu não contrario não
Com o samba eu não compro briga
Do samba eu não abro mão

Amanhã, ninguém sabe
Traga-me um violão
Antes que o amor acabe
Traga-me um violão
Traga-me um violão
Antes que o amor acabe

Hoje, nada
Me cala este violão
Eu faço uma batucada
Eu faço uma evoluçao
Quero ver a tristeza de parte
Quero ver o samba ferver
No corpo da porta-estandarte
Que o meu violão vai trazer

Amanhã ninguém sabe
Traga-me a morena
Antes que o amor acabe
Traga-me uma morena
Traga-me uma morena
Antes que o amor acabe

Hoje, pena
Seria esperar em vão
Eu já tenho uma morena
Eu já tenho um violão
Se o violão insistir, na certa
A morena ainda vem dançar
A roda fica aberta
E a banda vai passar

Amanhã, ninguém sabe
No peito de um cantador
Mais um canto sempre cabe
Eu quero cantar o amor
Eu quero cantar o amor
Antes que o amor acabe

Wonderful! Wonderful!


Wonderful! Wonderful!
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer; Ben Raleigh
Performer(s): The Supremes;
Ray Burns; Johnny Mathis; The Tymes



Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and stars
I turn to you and melt in your arms
There we are, darling, only you and I

What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own

And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Amanecí En Tus Brazos


Amanecí En Tus Brazos
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Amanecí otra vez entre tus brazos
desperté llorando de alegría
me cobijé la cara con tus manos
para seguirte amando todavía

Despertaste tú casi dormida
y me querías decir no sé qué cosa
pero callé tu boca con mis besos
y así pasaron muchas, muchas horas

Cuando llegó la noche
apareció la luna
y entró por la ventana

Qué cosa más bonita
cuando la luz del cielo
iluminó tu cara

Yo me volví a meter entre tus brazos
tú me querías decir no sé qué cosa
pero callé tu boca con mis besos
y así pasaron muchas, muchas horas

Refrain:

Eh---yeah

You and your girl things could be pretty

Amanecer


Amanecer
Composer(s): Domínguez - Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Qué musa maravillosa
habrá bajado a besarte
y qué delicia tortuosa
habrá sentido al dejarte

Tú te diste a musicarla
con violines de ambrosía
y a la hora de guardarla
viste tus manos vacías

Pobre insensato pintor
paleta en mano tinta de amanecer
rompiendo sombras, inventando el color
que sólo tú podías, sólo tú creías ver

Así voló tu memoria
aún más allá que tus años
Siempre es noticia una historia
de besos y desengaños

Desde que hallaste la musa
que te llevó a la locura
canta tu línea inconclusa
la misma recta sin cura

Wonderful World Of Sex


Wonderful World Of Sex
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): Steve Goodman



I could learn to understand Swahili by myself
I could even teach it to my good dog, Ralph
I could learn to read you every book up on the shelf
I could learn to tell your fortune like the oracle of Delphi

I could learn to tell you every flower by its color
I could learn to swim as fast as Johnny Weissmuller
But I couldn't never learn to get along without you
Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex

You can get love from your papa or your mama
You can get warm from a Turkish or a sauna
You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna
But you get all three when you neck with me

I really must confess it gets me in the solar plexus
When I think about the differences there are between the sexes
Peanut butter sandwiches are really neat
But when you get right down to it you can't compete with
Good old double S - E - double X is
Camper than batman, bigger than Texas
You're concave and I'm convex
Welcome to the world of sex

Do I love you, is the Pope Catholic?
Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic?
Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic?
Let's us be heterosexually entwined, we fit like a tailored suit dear

I dig you more than I dig root beer
Green Giant peas need a big green pod
I spend a lot of time needing your bod
Walking around through fields of clover
Can't we lie down and talk things over?
You never know whats coming off next
In the wonderful world of sex

Amando Sobre Os Jornais


Amando Sobre Os Jornais
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia



Amando noites afora
Fazendo a cama sobre os jornais
Um pouco jogados fora
Um pouco sábios demais
Esparramados no mundo
Molhamos o mundo com delícias
As nossas peles retintas
De notícias

Amando noites a fio
Tramando coisas sobre os jornais
Fazendo entornar um rio
E arder os canaviais
Das páginas flageladas
Sorrimos, mãos dadas e, inocentes
Lavamos os nossos sexos
Nas enchentes

Amando noites a fundo
Tendo jornais comno cobertor
Podendo abalar o mundo
No embalo do nosso amor
No ardor de tantos abraços
Caíram palácios
Ruiu um império
Os nossos olhos vidrados
De mistério

Don't know much about history

Don't know much about a science book

But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me, too

Don't know much about algebra

But I know that one and one is two
and if this one could be with you
what a wonderful world this would be

I don't claim to be an 'A' student
but I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby
I can win your love for me

don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you

Amanda (Don Williams)


Amanda
Composer(s): Bob McDill
First release by: Don Williams - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

Well the measure of people
Don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding thirty
And still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

Wonderful World (Elvis Presley)


Wonderful World Composer(s): Guy Fletcher - Doug Flett Performer(s): Elvis Presley



This is a wonderful day
It's as bright as a day's ever been
There is a big yellow sun looking down
On a wonderful scene

Up in the blue sky birds fly
And sing our cares away
And out of each throat each note
Greets a wonderful day

There is the sound of a symphony
Carried along on the breeze
Even the flowers are swaying in time
With the leaves on the trees

Heaven is found right here on the earth
It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around
In this wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful world

This is a wonderful day
It's as bright as a day's ever been
There is a big yellow sun looking down
On a wonderful scene

Heaven is found right here on the earth
It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around
In this wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful world
Wonderful world, this wonderful world
Wonderful world, this wonderful world
Wonderful world, this wonderful world

Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's somethin' I just have to say
I don't think I could hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Another day

Do you wanna be free
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya

So it may be too soon I know
The feelin' takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you

And make you realize

Wonderful Wino


Wonderful Wino
Composer(s): Jeff Simmons; Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa;
The Muffin Men; Jeff Simmons



L.A. in the summer of '69
I went downtown and bought me some wine
I wasted my head on a bottle of juice
And now the grapes won't cut me loose
Well I'm a wino man
Well, don't you know I am?
Great god almighty, don't you know I'm a wino man

36, 24, hips about 30
Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty
She looked at me and then she raised the thumb
And said: "Jam down the road, you funky ass bum"
Well I'm a wino man
Well, don't you know I am?
Great god almighty, don't you know that I'm a wino man

I went to the country
And while I was gone
I lost control of my body functions
On a roller-headed lady's front lawn
I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino man
And I can't help myself

I've been drinkin' all night till my eyes got red
Stumbled on the gutter and busted my head
Bugs in my zoot suit, have been scratchin' like a dog
Can't stand no water, and I stink like a hog
Give me a five dollar bill
And an overcoat too
Give me a five dollar bill
And an overcoat too
A five dollar bill and an overcoat too
A five dollar bill and a Florsheim shoe

Ámame Ahora, No Mañana


Ámame Ahora, No Mañana
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Ella sólo buscaba un lugar donde anclar
y en su ropa llevaba los gritos del mundo
Por favor, déjame pasar!
que la gente en las calles lastima por nada

Sácate el reloj
Ámame ahora, no mañana
Ámame ahora, no mañana

Y las manos son bestias tocando un rosal
y los besos son tiros que rompen los vidrios
no me des, tatuajes de tu amor
porque hay tanta mentira y tan poco tiempo

Sácate el reloj
Ámame ahora, no mañana
Ámame ahora, no mañana

Tengo mis remos clavados
en la arena gris
no puedo volver, ni puedo seguir
por favor no me dejes dormir

Ámame ahora, no mañana
Ámame ahora, no mañana

Tengo mis remos clavados
en la arena gris
no puedo volver, ni puedo seguir
por favor no me dejes...

Ámame ahora, no mañana
Ámame ahora, no mañana.
no mañana, solo ahora, hacelo ahora

Wonderful Tonight


Wonderful Tonight
French & Spanish Titles:
Merveilleuse Ce Soir; Eres Maravillosa
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Michael Kamen
Originally performed and made famous by: Eric Clapton
Covered by various other artists



It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"

Amame


Amame
Composer(s): José Luis Perales
Performer(s): Raphael



Dime por que hoy tu mirada vuela atravesando la noche
Te siento lejos de mi, quiero saber por que

Tu me diras: "no te preocupes no es nada
Mis pensamientos estaban junto a ti"

Besame, ya sabes que por ti daria hoy la vida
Mirame, que vuelvan tus miradas a encender las mias
Amame y luego repiteme hasta enloquecer "te quiero"

Besame, ya sabes que por ti daria hoy la vida
Mirame, que vuelvan tus miradas a encender las mias
Amame y luego repiteme hasta enloquecer "te quiero"

Sonreiras y volvera de nuevo ese silencio que duele
Y tras la noche tendra un nuevo amanecer
Se perdera esa pregunta en el aire
Y cuando muera la tarde volvera

Besame, ya sabes que por ti daria hoy la vida
Mirame, que vuelvan tus miradas a encender las mias
Amame y luego repiteme hasta enloquecer "te quiero"

Besame, ya sabes que por ti daria hoy la vida
Mirame, que vuelvan tus miradas a encender las mias
Amame y luego repiteme hasta enloquecer "te quiero"

Wonderful Summer


Wonderful Summer
Composer(s): Gil Garfield; Perry Botkin Jr.
Performer(s): Robin Ward



I want to thank you for giving me
The most wonderful summer of my life
It was so heavenly
You meant the world to me
And anyone could see that I was so in love

I want to thank you for giving me
The most wonderful summer of my life
I never will forget
That summer day we met
You were so shy and yet you stole my heart away

We strolled along the sand
Walking hand in hand
Then you kissed me and I knew
That I would love you my whole life through

I want to thank you for giving me
The most wonderful summer of my life
And though it broke my heart
That day we had to part
I'll always thank you for giving me
The most wonderful summer of my life

Este amor que tu me has dado
amor que no esperaba
es aquel que yo soñe
va creciendo como el fuego
la verdad
es que a tu lado
es hermoso dar amor

Y es que tu amanda amante
das la vida en un instante
sin pedir ningun favor
este amor siempre sincero
sin saber lo que es el miedo
no parece ser real
que me importa haber sufrido
si ya tengo lo mas bello
y me da felicidad
en un mundo tan ingrato
solo tu amada amante
lo das todo por amor...
