La Diuca
La Diuca
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara
Partimos para una fiesta
en mi lleguita rosilla
y le dije a mi negrita
agarrate cata linda
El perro de mi negrita
traia la salagarda
y para quedar tranquilo
echamos el filtro al agua
Dejamela diuca
dejala que cante
que no me la espanten
dejala volar
a mi pajarito le gusta cantar
Traia pa cocinar
una polluela gordita
y a la sombrita de un arbol
matamos la gallina
Pasamos el tinguiririca
pasamos el tinguiriraca
yo con mi negrita arriba
dale dale a la guaraca
Dejamela diuca
dejala que cante
que no me la espanten
dejala volar
a mi pajarito le gusta cantar
Y para cortar camino
tomamos camino de tierra
de tanto polvo que echamos
dejamos la polvareda
Para toda la compaña
oguollito de yerba seca
se le va a morir de frio
si tiene la diuca afuera
Dejamela diuca
dejala que cante
que no me la espanten
dejala volar
a mi pajarito le gusta cantar

Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. Thomas was a man
The Lord must have appointed
To live among us mountain folks
In eastern Tennessee
And he delivered more than half
The babies in those mountains
Among those babies
He delivered me
There was no way to drive along
The roads back in those mountains
But Dr. Thomas got there
Just the same
He often rode on horseback
To get where he was needed
But if he had to walk
He always came
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. Thomas was a friend
A neighbor and a doctor
Though he seldom got a dime
For all he'd done
And I remember lots of times
We sent for Dr. Thomas
But I don't recall a time
He didn't come
They say a man is judged
By the deeds he does while livin'
A judgement when he stands
Before the Lord
And I know heaven holds a place
For men like Dr. Thomas
And I know that he'll receive
His just reward
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him

La Dispute
La Dispute
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Un mot amène un autre
Et d'un incident futile
On fait une énorme faute
Qui met l'amour en péril
Tout nous remonte en mémoire
Le ton monte jusqu'au cri
Et de très vieilles histoires
Reviennent sur le tapis
Aveuglé par la colère
Ne pouvant se tenir
Chacun pleure sa misère
Chacun se dit un martyr
Et les choses s'enveniment
Nul ne veut faire un effort
Les deux se disant victimes
Hurlent de plus en plus fort
Quand soudain les larmes perlent
On se mouche bruyamment
Et l'on repart de plus belle
Les yeux injectés de sang
La dispute, la dispute
Atteint des points culminants
C'est la guerre, c'est la haine
Les mots portent des coups bas
Et vole la porcelaine
Et crie le voisin de en-bas
On marche de long en large
Prenant un plaisir malin
A commencer le partage
De tout ce qui nous revient
Au sommet de cette crise
En s'évitant du regard
On aligne ses valises
En vue de ce grand départ
Mais qu'il parle ou bien qu'il reste
Chacun veut, c'est évident
Le cadeau de l'oncle Ernest
Le chien et l'appartement
Affolés à bout de forces
De vaisselle et d'arguments
On ne voit que le divorce
Pour régler le différent
La dispute, la dispute
Soudain fait grincer des dents
Les assaillants face à face
S'inventent mille défauts
J'en oublie et puis j'en passe
Des reproches et des mots
Le jour peu à peu décline
Et les forces en même temps
les adversaires ruminent
Boudent silencieusement
Pour être enfin raisonnables
Et se quitter en bons amis
Les ennemis passent à table
Manger de bon appétit
N'ayant plus rien à se dire
Tête basse on reste là
Puis on baille et se retire
Et se glisse dans les draps
Dans le noir les doigts se touchent
Et les mots sont superflus
Ses lèvres trouvent sa bouche
Et l'amour prend le dessus
La dispute, la dispute
Tout à coup a disparu

Dr. Love (Tina Charles)
Dr. Love
Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu
Performer(s): Tina Charles
Callin' callin' Doctor Love
Callin' callin' Doctor Love
Mamma shouldn't 'a' called you
To come and treat me good
For the reason for my fever she never understood
But I've always had a weakness for a man in uniform
And when you took my heart
beats boy you turned me or
You said that I was better
And nothing was the matter with me.
Doctor Love please come running
Can't you see I'm in pain
You've broken my heart and you should be ashamed
Doctor Love please come running
Can't you see I'm in pain
My pulse is getting weaker please come back again
Temperature is rising
So you bring round a bottle of pills
But doctor can't you see it's my
heart that's really ill
So put away your medicine and your special therapy
'Cos the reason for my fever is very fond of me
You said that I was better
And nothing was the matter with me
Doctor Love please come running...

La Dicha Mia
La Dicha Mia
Composer(s): Johnny Pacheco
Performer(s): Celia Cruz
and multiple other artists
Lucky me, to perform in Havana
And there, I became a singer of songs
They led me to the great Mamboleros
In all of Cuba, the toast of the town
Singing at the Tropicana
My fantasies finally came true
Imagine, going to New York
Seeing the great ones, in my heart untold
We saw Arsenio with his swinging band
And Señor Rodríguez, that magical man
I took this earthquake to El Barrio
Got hugs and kisses from mi gente
Lucky me, I saw my Tito
Ay Dios Mío, El Excelente
Listening to my Machito, dancing, drinking vino
Machito was for us El Count Basie Latino
Made it up to the Palladium
It didn't disappoint at all
At the ball, with Tito Puento
Tito Puento the king of them all
With Tito Puente, you'd be so glad to dance
El rey Tito Puente created a trance
When Tito finished playing
How could anything feel so low
Surprise came Tito Rodríguez
With his conjunto, to top it all
Better two Titos, than only one
Better for dancing, and also for fun
El Señor Me Dio La Dicho de grabar
Con Tito Puente Y Cantar Con Tito Rodríguez
(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)
Ven A Gozar Con La Dicha, A Gozar Con La Dicha
(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)
(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)
Ay Yo Le Canto a Yemaya a Oshun y a Obatala
(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)
Y Al Que Dios Se Lo Dio San Pedro Se Lo Bendiga
La Dicha Mia me la dio El Señor

Dr. Love (First Choice)
Dr. Love
Composer(s): Allan Felder - Norman Harris - R. Tyson
Performer(s): First Choice
He's got the potion and emotion
When I'm feeling low, when my love starts to glow
He's got the power every hour
He's the reason why my face is all aglow
Just one kissin' his lips as I'm taking Vitamin C
Oh you can imagine what the doctor does to me
Doctor Love, he can kill my every pain
He can make me well again
Doctor Love, he ain't got no competition
Only he writes smart prescription
Doctor Love, Doctor Love, hu... Doctor Love
I needed a major operation
Never thought that I'd survive from my broken heart
He took me in anticipation
You better believe, he knew where to start
There's no need for me to need an apple everyday
Oh, he saw enough in me to take the pain away
Dr. Love, he don't need no office life
'Cause he operates at night
Dr. Love, what he does is keep me well
What he does I'll never tell
Dr. Love, sweet Dr. Love
Dr. Love, Dr. Love, Dr. Love, Dr. Love, Dr. Love
He ain't got no competition

Encontré la dicha del amor
Sin buscar, el hasta mi llegó
El azar y la locura van
Juntos y más allá
Cruzando el mar y el tiempo
Si escribí, páginas que borré
Algo que para mi se fué
Nada habrá que me haga recordar
Porque puede más la dicha del amor
Y si mi vida ahora es amarte
Y mis caminos son felicidad
Soy como un pájaro alegre que vuela
Como un niño feliz
Encontré la dicha del amor
Sin buscar, el hasta mi llegó
El azar y la locura van
Juntos y más allá
Cruzando el mar y el tiempo
Escribí, páginas que borré
Todo lo que viví, olvidé
Va no hay lluvias ni temporal
Porque puede más la dicha del amor
Encontré la dicha del amor
Sin buscar, el hasta mi llegó
El azar y la locura van
Juntos y más allá
Cruzando el mar y el tiempo

Dr. Livingstone, I Presume
Dr. Livingstone, I Presume
Composer(s): Ray Thomas
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Doctor Livingston, I presume
Stepping out of the jungle gloom
Into the midday sun
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
"I've seen butterflies galore
I've seen people big and small
I've still not found what I'm looking for"
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
Captain Scott, you were so bold
Now you're looking rather cold
Out there in the snow
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
"I've seen polar bears and seals
I've seen giant Antarctic eels
I've still not found what I'm looking for"
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
Columbus, where are you bound?
So you think the world is round
Sailed off in the blue
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
"There are Indians by the score
In many places that I saw
I've still not found what I'm looking for"
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone

O con me, da tanto tempo fa
questo amor, come un'eredità
Le follie leggere volano
oltre l'oceano ed attraverso il tempo
e io ne ho sfogliato pagine
prima di scriverne da me
Perchè il mio regalo unico è l'amor in me
come un'eredità
E se traduco la vita in ti amo e che la sola certezza che ho
dice che quando si ama, viviamo, sopravvivi se no
E così da tanto tempo fa o con me come un'eredità
la follia che vola libera oltre l'oceano
ed attraverso il tempo e io ne ho
studiato pagine prima di scriverne da me
prima di capire in ultimo che l'amore in me
come un'eredità
E così da tempo fa
o con me come un'eredità
La follia che vola libera
oltre l'oceano ed attraverso il tempo
e io ne ho studiato pagine prima di scriverne da me
prima di capire in ultimo che l'amore in me
come un'eredità

Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive
Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work
Dr. Heckyll works late at the laboratory
Where things are not as they seem
Dr. Heckyll wishes nothing more desperately
Than to fulfill all of his dreams
Letting loose with a scream in the dead of night
As he's breaking new ground
Trying his best to unlock all the secrets
But he's not sure what he's found
Dr. Heckyll is his own little guinea pig
'Cos they all think he's mad
Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime
And he's never, never sad
Whoa oh, it's off to work he goes
In the name of science and all its wonders
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
Not long now till the ultimate experiment
He's breaking all the rules
He wants to cure all matter of imbalance
In this world of fools
He locks the door and he looks around nervously
He knows there's no one there
He drinks it down and waits for some reaction
To all his work and care
Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say
He loves the wo except for all the people
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
Whoa oh, it's out at night he goes
He slips easily into conversation
Hey hey, he's cool in every way
Sometimes he loves to sing that old black magic
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive

La Despedida
La Despedida
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Algo se detuvo en punto muerto
y fue tan grande ese silencio, fue tan grande el desamor
restos de un navío que encallaba
yo te quise, yo te amaba
no se bien lo que pasó
Cuando los jazmines no perfuman
cuando solo vemos bruma
cuando el cuento terminó
todo nos parece intrascendente
no es cuestión de edad o de suerte
de eso se trata el amor
Tengo que correr
Tienes que correr
a toda velocidad
A toda velocidad...
Veo tus pupilas descubriendo algún Chagall
en el invierno, creo del '83
Yo estoy a tu lado revolviendo, ordenando libros viejos que leí pero olvidé
Besos de tu madre en el teléfono
Y la lluvia en un espejo que me ayuda a verte bien
Oigo tu sonrisa que ilumina el estudio y la cocina
entre las copas y el café
Tengo que correr
Tienes que correr
a toda velocidad
A toda velocidad...
Sabe amargo el licor, de las cosas queridas
Se acabó lo mejor, quien nos quita esta herdia
tu me pierdes a mi, yo te doy por perdida
es la hora de huir, la despedida
la despedida...
Tengo que correr
Tienes que correr
a toda velocidad
A toda velocidad...

Dr. Getúlio
Dr. Getúlio
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edu Lobo
Performer(s): Simone
Foi o chefe mais amado da nação
Desde o sucesso da revolução
Liderando os liberais
Foi o pai dos mais humildes brasileiros
Lutando contra grupos financeiros
E altos interesses internacionais
Deu início a um tempo de transformações
Guiado pelo anseio de justiça
E de liberdade social
E depois de compelido a se afastar
Voltou pelos braços do povo
Em campanha triunfal
Abram alas que Gegê vai passar
Olha a evolução da história
Abram alas pra Gegê desfilar
Na memória popular
Foi o chefe mais amado da nação
A nós ele entregoui seu coração
Que não largaremos mais
Não, pois nossos corações hão de ser nossos
A terra, o nosso sangue, os nossos poços
O petróleo é nosso, os nossos carnavais
Sim, puniu os traidores com o perdão
E encheu de brios todo o nosso povo
Povo que a ninguém será servil
E partindo nos deixou uma lição
A Pátria, afinal, ficar livre
Ou morrer pelo Brasil
Abram alas que Gegê vai passar
Olha a evolução da história
Abram alas pra Gegê desfilar
Na memória popular

La Desilusión
La Desilusión
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Como monedas
tintineó su tema
la desilusión
Con boca roja
y grandes mamas flojas
la desilusión
Fumando rubios
y exhalando alcohol
bordado el dueño de la cama
en la ropa interior
Qué delirio en interrogación
qué suicidio en investigación
brillante exposición de modas
la desilución
Abrió un negocio
reanimando el ocio
la desilusión
Como turismo
inventó el abismo
la desilusión
Tocó el diamante
y lo volvió carbón
y al atorrante
lo sembró en la administración
Qué delirio en interrogación
qué suicidio en investigación
brillante exposición de modas
la desilusión

La Dernière Valse
La Dernière Valse
Composer(s): Hubert Ithier
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu; Petula Clark; Ginette Reno
Le bal allait bientôt se terminer
Devais-je m'en aller ou bien rester?
L'orchestre allait jouer le tout dernier morceau
Quand je t'ai vu passer près de moi...
C'était la dernière valse
Mon cœur n'était plus sans amour
Ensemble cette valse
Nous l'avons dansée pour toujours
On s'est aimé longtemps toujours plus fort
Nos joies nos peines avaient le même accord
Et puis un jour j'ai vu changer tes yeux
Tu as brisé mon cœur en disant "adieu"
C'était la dernière valse
Mon cœur restait seul sans amour
Et pourtant cette valse, aurait pu durer toujours
Ainsi va la vie, tout est bien fini
Il me reste une valse et mes larmes...
La la la la la la la la la la
C'était la dernière valse
Mon cœur restait seul sans amour
Et pourtant cette valse, aurait pu durer toujours
La la la la la la la la la la

Hi, this is Doctor C.C.
At the sound of the tone
Leave me your name
And your telephone number
And I'll call you back
I'm Doctor C.C
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
I don't work in the daytime
I do all of my doctoring at night
And I don't have an office
But my van deserves all right
I can't afford to get caught
So I don't take house calls
I like to meet on a lonely street
Were there's hardly any traffic at all, yeah
I'm Doctor C.C.
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
I specialize in lovology
And I'd be happy to take your case
But you can't afford to fall in love
Cause that's strictly out of place
I can make you hotter than the Fourth of July
And I work with a slow hand
When you need your prescription filled
You can come back and see me again, yeah
I'm Doctor C.C.
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Then you'll say,
Mmm, I love it (I love it)
Sing it again,
Mmm, I love it (I love it)
Then you'll say,
Mmm, I love it (I love it)
One more time,
Mmm, I love it (I love it)
Mmm (I love it, I love it)
Uuh (I love it)
I'm Doctor C.C.
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me
Get your medicine from me

La Dernière Séance
La Dernière Séance
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
La lumièr' revient déjà
Et le film est terminé
Je réveille mon voisin
Il dort comme un nouveau-né
Je relèv' mon strapontin
J'ai une envie de bailler
C'était la dernièr' séquence
C'était la dernière séance
Et le rideau sur l'écran est tombé
La photo sur le mot fin
Peut fair' sourire ou pleurer
Mais je connais le destin
D'un cinéma de quartier
Il finira en garage
En building supermarché
Il n'a plus aucune chance
C'était sa dernière séance
Et le rideau sur l'écran est tombé
Bye Bye les héros que j'aimais
L'entr' acte es terminé
Bye Bye rendez-vous à jamais
Mes chocolats glacés, glacés
J'allais rue des solitaires
A l'école de mon quartier
A cinq heures j'étais sorti
Mon père venait me chercher
On voyait Gary Cooper
Qui défendait l'opprimé
C'était vraiment bien l'enfance
Mais c'est la dernière séquence
Et le rideau sur l'écran est tombé
Bye bye les fill's qui tremblaient
Pour les jeunes premiers
Bye bye Rendez-vous à jamais
Mes chocolats glacés, glacés
La lumière s'éteint déjà
La salle est vide à pleurer
Mon voisin détend ses bras
Il s'en va boire un café
Un vieux pleure dans un coin
Son cinéma est ferm,
C'était sa dernière séquence
C'était sa dernière séance
Et le rideau sur l'écran est tombé

Doze Annos
Doze Annos
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Moreira da Silva
Ai, que saudades que eu tenho
Dos meus doze anos
Que saudade ingrata
Dar bandas por aí
Fazendo grandes planos
E chutando lata
Trocando figurinha
Matando passarinho
Colecionando minhoca
Jogando muito botão
Rodopiando pião
Fazendo troca-troca
Ai, que saudades que eu tenho
Duma travessura
O futebol de rua
Sair pulando muro
Olhando fechadura
E vendo mulher nua
Comendo fruta no pé
Chupando picolé
Pé-de-moleque, paçoca
E, disputando troféu
Guerra de pipa no céu
Concurso de piroca
