Desden


Desden Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Mario Battistella Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Rozenda Bernal; Mayel Varrera



El día que comparezcas
ante el tribunal de Dios
a dar cuenta de mi vida
que me complicaste vos
el día que francamente
tenga yo que declarar
la verdad pura y palpable
que a Dios no puede escapar
y le digas que he faltado
a su Ley de mala fe
al hacer de vos mi culto
al amarte más que a Él
que robé por tu cariño
que maté ciego de amor
¡Pueda ser que el Dios piadoso
quiera darme su perdón!

Desdeñé mi vida entera
en la hoguera de tu amor
esperando lo que fuera
sin decirte ni siquiera
que es mi pena y mi dolor
Sin embargo ante el Eterno
será el mismo mi desdén
y en mi amor profundo y tierno
por seguirte hasta el Infierno
yo despreciaré el Edén

Pero el día de tu juicio
yo no sé qué le dirás
cuando sepan que has pecado
por capricho y vanidad
cuando sientas la mirada
penetrante del Señor
que te llegará hasta el alma
como un rayo escrutador
y te acuse tu conciencia
al mirar aquel puñal
que vos misma tan cobarde
le entregaste a mi rival
que, no contenta con eso
me mandaste a la prisión
¡Por más que vos te arrepientas
no podrás tener perdón!

Anything Goes


Anything Goes
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Ethel Merman - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



Times have changed
And we’ve ofter rewound the clock
Since the puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth rock
If today any shock they might try to stem
’stead of landing of Plymouth rock
Plymouth rock would land on them

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now God knows
Anything goes

Good authors to
Who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose
Anyhting goes

If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Why nobody will oppose

When every night
The set thats smart
Is intruding on nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes

When Mrs. Ned McClean God bless her
Can get Russian reds to yes her
Than I suppose
Anything goes

When Rockafeller still can hoard
Enough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows
Anything goes

The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And days night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once owned several châteaux

When folks
Who still can ride in Jitney’s
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney’s
Lack baby clo’es
Anything goes

When Sam Goldwyn
Can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction
Than Anna shows
Anything goes

When you hear that
Lady Mendl standing up
Now turns a handspring landing up
On her toes
Anything goes

Just think of those shocks you’ve got
And those knocks you’ve got
And those blues you’ve got
From those news you’ve got
And those pains you’ve got
(if any brains you’ve got)
From those little radios

So Mrs. R.
With all her trimmin’s
Can broadcast a bed from Simmon’s
Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes

Desde Tu Corazón


Desde Tu Corazón
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco



Dudo que se pierda aquel viejo recuerdo
me prendo en su cola en cualquier momento
dime si voy me doy una baño y me voy
hacia tu invitacion

Mi vida siente que palpita tu amor
en aquel pueblo chico del sol
justificando mi cabeza perdida
quiza siempre te diga que todo ya paso

Es que a cierta edad hay una inmensa pared
que a veces es preciso volve-e-e---er
a saltar, desde tu corazon nuevamente
uh, uh, uy

Dudo si alguna vez yo me pregunte
sobre que mundo he parado mis pies
dime por que viejo recuerdo por que
me haces girar atras

Presiento que todas mis fuerzas no estan
cabalgando hacia el mismo lugar
suelta mi brazo que me estan esperando
no me hagas morir solitario

Desde La Lluvia


Desde La Lluvia
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Llueve, tras la ventana
y yo en la cama
sin poder dormir
Llueve, de madrugada
sobre mi almohada
llueve por ti
Llueve, llueve, llueve
sobre mi...
y en mi corazón
porque no estás aquí
Siempre llueve, llueve
Llueve...
y no podré esperar el sol
porque hay nubes de dolor
aquí...
Y en tu ventana sentirás
la lluvia
y no te acordarás
de mí
Cae la lluvia de invierno
y canta en los techos
sobre Madrid
una canción de silencios
de agua y de viento
que viene a mí
Llueve, llueve, llueve
sobre mí

Anything For You


Anything For You
From the show : A Dangerous Maid - 1921
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Vinton Freedley



I've one aim in life
And that is winning you
If you'll be my wife
There's nothing I won't do
To bring you joy, dear
Yes, I'm the boy, dear
Who'd do the darndest all he
Could to be your Walter Raleigh

Just tell me what to do
I'll more than see it through
Dear, I'll do anything for you
I'll buy insurance from your brother
I'll even learn to like your mother
With you I'll always brave
The bargain sales you crave
I'll be your everlasting slave
And if the cook should get too frisky
Although the task is rather risky
You'll find that I, myself
Will tell her she is through
Dear, I'll do anything for you

I'll let you choose my hats
And pick out my cravats
You'll be my connoisseur of spats
I'll even smoke cigars you buy me
And always pay your bills when they eye me
You'll order all you see
You'll charge it C.O.D.
And never hear a word from me
Then what is more, dear, for good measure
All your father's jokes I'll treasure
I'm going to laugh at them
Until I'm black-and-blue
Dear, I'll do anything for you

Desde Dónde


Desde Dónde
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany



Desde dónde el tiempo se hace macho
Desde dónde las manos quedan ciegas
de tanto hachar y hachar el monte ajeno
Desde dónde no queda ni un solo juez
o Comisario amigo
Desde dónde no queda ni una lagrima
que salga al alba a despertar lo humano
Desde dónde la tierra es malparida
que sólo da algodón que nunca abriga!
Dónde los niños quedan ciegos
para no ver el llanto de la madre
Dónde las hembras malparen bajo un techo
se sacuden la sangre y nuevamente al yugo
Desde dónde La Forestal te arranca con sus garfios
de hambre en hambre, el intestino
Donde la boca reseca de tabaco amargo
vomita el odio en cuajaron de sangre
Desde allí
Desde el remoto trajinar del Chaco
me viene arando este canto hecho alarido!

Anyone's Daughter


Anyone's Daughter
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple



Well I stood under your bedroom window throwing up a brick
No one came, I threw one more, that really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head, he said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl? he threw me in the can
You're a farmer's daughter, you're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get the kinda girl I didn't oughta get?
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter

Imagine I was a full-grown man and I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here and do this every night?
Wham! The door comes crashing down, your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum, I'll put you in my jail
You're a judge's daughter, you're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get the kinda girl I didn't oughta get?
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cos I made the judge's daughter
Yes I did! It was nice!

It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter

Woman I should like some peace and daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright when I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies, you say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is your daughter's baby's daddy
She's a lucky daughter, such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get the kinda girl I didn't wanna get?
Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cos I've married a rich man's daughter
Ha! What d'ya think of that?

Descendimiento


Descendimiento
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Arráncame la corona de espinas
que por ti padezco
y lávame con tus lágrimas la herida
que por ti sangra en mi costado
Consúmame el dolor
hasta la muerte y abandóname
en tus brazos, por piedad
Luego, al enterrarme, hazlo
en lo más profundo de tu vientre
allí donde resucitar sea un delito
castigado con la pena
capital

Ceux Qui Ont Un Cœur
((Adapted from: Anyone Who Had A Heart (Dionne Warwick) - 1963))
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach - Ralph Bernet
Performer(s): Petula Clark - 1964



À tous ceux qui ont aimé
Je veux montrer à quel point je t'aime
À tous ceux qui ont rêvé
Je veux montrer que de toi je rêve
Et que je t'aime trop !

Et tous ceux qui ont un cœur
Me prendraient dans leurs bras et m'aimeraient
Mais tu peux bien avoir un cœur
Et pourtant m'abandonner comme une inconnue
Qui serait perdue

Chaque fois que tu t'en vas
Mon cœur se dit "Finie, cette chance"
Car vraiment je t'aime trop
Vivre sans toi n'est plus l'existence
Non, ne me quitte pas !

Car tous ceux qui ont un cœur
Me prendraient dans leurs bras et m'aimeraient
Mais tu peux bien avoir un cœur
Et pourtant m'abandonner comme une inconnue
Qui serait perdue

Non, ne me quitte pas !
Car tous ceux qui ont un cœur
Me prendraient dans leurs bras et m'aimeraient
Mais tu peux bien avoir un cœur
Et pourtant m'abandonner comme une inconnue

Et tous ceux qui ont un cœur me comprendront
Oui, tous ceux qui ont un cœur pleureront
S'ils ont pleuré rien qu'une seule fois comme moi

Et tous ceux qui ont un cœur me comprendront
Et tous ceux qui ont un cœur pleureront
S'ils ont pleuré rien qu'une seule fois comme moi

Desamor


Desamor
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Para el desamor
no hay nada
curan lo peor
no encuentran pócima mejor
para el desamor
contra el desamor...

Contra el desamor no hay nada
la desilusión también gana
nada cura el dolor, el dolor del alma
no hay remedio a la traición, ni calma
un poco de calma...

Para el desamor
no hay nada
curan lo peor
no encuentran pócima mejor
para el desamor
contra el desamor

Un consuelo ya para el desconsuelo
cuando el amor pierde vuelo
un alivio ya para el desaliento
el auxilio de un fiel sentimiento
algún invento....

Para el desamor
no hay nada
curan lo peor
no encuentran pócima mejor
para el desamor
contra el desamor

Descubran algo que ya
acabe con el mal
un antídoto del odio...

Para el desamor
no hay nada
curan lo peor
no encuentran pócima mejor
para el desamor
contra el desamor

Anyone For Tennis


Anyone For Tennis
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Martin Sharp
Performer(s): Cream



Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
An auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent Christmas cheer
And the Bentley-driving guru is putting up his price
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too
And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

Desalento


Desalento Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Vinícius de Moraes Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Sim, vai e diz
Diz assim
Que eu chorei
Que eu morri
De arrependimento
Que o meu desalento
Já não tem mais fim
Vai e diz
Diz assim
Como sou
Infeliz
No meu descaminho
Diz que estou sozinho
E sem saber de mim

Diz que eu estive por pouco
Diz a ela que estou louco
Pra perdoar
Que seja lá como for
Por amor
Por favor
É pra ela voltar

Sim, vai e diz
Diz assim
Que eu rodei
Que eu bebi
Que eu caí
Que eu não sei
Que eu só sei
Que cansei, enfim
Dos meus desencontros
Corre e diz a ela
Que eu entrego os pontos

Anyone Can Whistle


Anyone Can Whistle
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Stephen Sondheim
and multiple other artists



Fay:
Anyone can whistle
That's what they say
Easy
Anyone can whistle
Any old day
Easy
It's all so simple
Relax, let go, let fly
So someone tell me why
Can't I?
I can dance a tango
I can read Greek
Easy
I can slay a dragon
Any old week
Easy
What's hard is simple
What's natural comes hard
Maybe you could show me
How to let go
Lower my guard
Learn to be free
Maybe if you whistle
Whistle for me

I can slay a dragon
Any old week
Easy
What's hard is simple
What's natural comes hard
Maybe you could show me
How to let go
Lower my guard
Learn to be free
Maybe if you whistle
Whistle for me

Desafio Do Malandro


Desafio Do Malandro
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Você tá pensando que é da alta sociedade
Ou vai montar exposição de souvenir de gringo
Ou foi fazer a fé no bingo em chá de caridade
Eu não sei não , eu não sei não
Só sei que você vem com five o'clock, very well, my friend
A curriola leva um choque, nego não entende
E deita e rola e sai comentando
Que grande malandro é você
Você tá fazendo piada ou vai querer que eu chore
A sua estampa eu já conheço do museu do império
Ou mausoléu de cemitério, ou feira de folclore
Eu não sei não
Só sei que você vem com reco-reco, berimbau, farofa
A curriola tem um treco, nego faz galhofa
E deita e rola e sai comentando
Que grande malandro é você
Você que era um sujeito tipo jovial
Agora até mudou de nome
Você infelizmente continua igual
Fala bonito e passa fome
Vai ver que ainda vai virar trabalhador
Que horror
Trabalho a minha nega e morro de calor
Falta malandro se casar e ser avô
Você não sabe nem o que é o amor
Malandro infeliz
Amor igual ao seu, malandro tem quarenta e não diz
Respeite uma mulher que é boa e me sustenta
Ela já foi aposentada
Ela me alisa e me alimenta
A bolsa dela tá furada
E a sua mãe tá na rua
Se você nunca teve mãe, eu não posso falar da sua
Eu não vou sujar a navalha nem sair no tapa
É mais sutil sumir da Lapa
Eu não jogo a toalha
Onde é que acaba essa batalha?
Em fundo de caçapa
Eu não sei não, eu não sei não
Só sei que você perde a compostura quando eu pego o taco
A curriola não segura, nego coça o saco
E deita e rola e sai comentando
que grande malandro é você

Anyone At All


Anyone At All
Composer(s): Carole King - Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Jane McDonald; Carole King



Funny how I feel more myself with you
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You've become the memory I can't erase

You could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of blue
I'm so glad it was you

Wasn't in the plan not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within your arms I can say what's true
Nothing in the world I would keep from you

You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of blue
I'm so glad it was you

Words can hurt you if you let them
People say them and forget them
Words can promise words can lie
But your words make me feel like I can fly

You could have been anyone at all
And let that catches me when I fall
I'm so glad it was you

Slightly Out Of Tune


Slightly Out Of Tune
((Adapted from: Desafinado (João Gilberto) - 1958))
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim - Newton Mendonça - James Cavanaugh - Jon Hendricks
Performer(s): Julie London - 1963
and multiple other artists



Love is like a never ending melody
Poets have compared it to a symphony
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
But our song of love is slightly out of tune...

Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing
Like the bossa nova love should swing...

We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon
What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?

Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long
There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!

Anyone (Could Fall In Love With You)


Anyone (Could Fall In Love With You)
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - Sol Markus - Louis A. DeJesus
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1964



Anyone could fall in love with you
Anyone who knows you as I do
Anyone could fall in love with you
And I love you my darling

Anyone could lose his heart like me
Anyone who has eyes that can see
Anyone could fall in love like me
And I love you my darling

You're the star I reached for
You're a dream so rare
You're my greatest treasure
Nothing can compare

Anyone could want you for his own
Anyone not only mine alone
Anyone could fall in love with you
And I love you my darling
Anyone could fall in love with you
And I love you my darling
