Ooh Las Vegas


Ooh Las Vegas
Composer(s): Gram Parsons - Ric Grech
First release by: Gram Parson - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Well, the first time I lose a drink of whiskey
And the second time I lose a drink of gin,
Third time I lose a drink of anything
Cause I think I'm gonna win.

Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Well, the queen of spades is a friend of mine
The queen of hearts is a bitch
Some day when I clean up my mind
I'll think I'm gonna win.

Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Spend all night with a dealer
Just trying to get ahead,
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Just trying to get out of bed

Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Miami Beach Rhumba


Miami Beach Rhumba
Composer(s): Irving Fields; Albert Gamse
Performer(s): Xavier Cugat
and various other artists



I started out to go to Cuba
Soon I was at Miami Beach
There, not so very far from Cuba
Oh, what a rhumba they teach

Palm trees are whispering "yo te quiero"
What could I do but stay awhile
I met a Cuban caballero
We danced in true latin style

So I never got to Cuba
But I got all its atmosphere
Why even Yuba and his tuba
They played a night right here

I'll save Havana for mañana
Clip Miami Beach Rhumba

Meanwhile I've heaven in my reach
I found the charm of old Havana
In a rhumba at Miami Beach

Ooh La La


Ooh La La
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Ron Wood
Performer(s): Rod Stewart;
and various other artists



Poor old Grandad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again (joana)

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars

Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

Mi Vida Es Cantar


Mi Vida Es Cantar
Composer(s): Victor Daniel
Performer(s): Celia Cruz



Cantar para mi, es cómo ser
dueña del universo
poder expresar con mi voz
lo que llevo por dentro
Hacerles a ustedes sentir
sensaciones grandiosas
y en siete notas conjugar
cantando muchas cosas
Y cuando la magia de algún son
invade poco a poco el corazón
me envuelvo con su ritmo sabroson
y el sentimiento
Siento los cueros repicar
y mi cuerpo no cesa de bailar
dejándome llevar por el compás
que bien me siento

Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro
Cantando yo viajo al mundo
brindándole sentimiento
Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro
Tres amores tengo dentro
de mi alegre corazón
Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro
Cuba bella, el son la rumba
y mi cabecita de algodón
Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro
Lo que soy, es la gracia de Dios
Su amor me dio este talento
que te brindo con mi voz, con mi voz

Ooh I Do


Ooh I Do
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue



The high school dance began at eight
but mum and dad said don't be late
They never ever seem to understand,
I'm not the little girl they think I am
.....they think I am

Ooh, Ooh I Do
Oh yes I do
love you
Ooh, ooh I do
Oh yes I do
wo wo wo no no no no no no

I know for you it's just the same,
and if we're young we're not to blame
They don't believe in teenage love affairs
They'll never know how much we really care
.....we really care

Ooh, Ooh I Do
Oh yes I do
love you
Ooh, ooh I do
Oh yes I do
wo wo wo no no no no no no

Mi Vida Es Amor


Mi Vida Es Amor
Composer(s): Victor Rafael Cordero
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Mi vida es amor, amor que me devora el alma
mi vida es amor, calor, fulgor de la mañana
Pájaros, flores, montañas y nubes de plata
una carreta de paja perdida hacia allá

Mi vida es cantar, soñar con todas mis canciones
Reír y llorar de amor al ver caer el sol
Y en la noche a la orilla del mar
las estrellas ponerme a contar
Mi vida es amor, amor, amor

Y en la noche a la orilla del mar
las estrellas ponerme a contar
Mi vida es amor, amor, amor

Mi Vida (Raphael)


Mi Vida
French Title: Ma Vie
Composer(s): Alain Barrière; Don Diego
Performer(s): Raphael



Ma vie, el amor conocio
Ma vie, el amor desprecio
Quizas yo lo encuentre otra vez
No se como y donde a de ser

Ma vie, que empezaba a soñar
Dejo el amor escapar
Tal vez si volviera el ayer
Ya no lo dejara perder

Ma vie, el amor conocio
Ma vie, el amor desprecio
Mi vida, tu castigo mayor
Sera no encontrar el amor

'Cause I feel that one day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here I'm crying

Ooo baby baby
Ooo baby baby

Oh, You Crazy Moon


Oh, You Crazy Moon
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
and multiple other artists



When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do?
And when they kissed, they tried to say that it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done

Once you promised me, you know, that this could never end
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend
There they are -- they fell in love
I guess you think you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart

It was just a night like this when it happened
I was such an unsuspecting soul
And I couldn't quite believe that it happened
Til it got beyond control

Well, there they are, they fell in love; I guess you think you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon, oh, you crazy moon
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart

Mi Vida (Miguel Gallardo)


Mi Vida
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Si algo tengo de valor, es mi vida
mi parcela de ilusión, mi vida
porque siento y sé soñar
porque ya aprendí a volar
y es, mi vida, yo la viviré
Bailaré al son que dé, mi vida
y daré por la verdad, mi vida
Seré pobre o soñador, vagabundo o vividor
y es, mi vida, yo la viviré
No quiero promesas
ni a quien las aplica
yo vivo tan solo, mi vida
solo grito, solo lucho
porque necesito, mi vida
todo lo que siento y soy, es mi vida
todo lo que tengo hoy, es mi vida
Seré pobre o soñador, vagabundo o vividor
y es, mi vida, yo la viviré

Ooga Sha La Bango


Ooga Sha La Bango
Composer(s): Glenn Burtnick; Marshall Crenshaw
Performer(s): The Sides



When I first saw my baby she was dancing hot and fast
But I was in a corner with my leg in a cast
When I met her I impressed her
Said, "I'm a heavy dancin' guy once my leg isn't so broken", even tho it was a lie
She just said

Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya

1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get

Well, anyway, I watched her through the night
Then I gave her a ride and we stopped in at a diner
Before I got her home we had fallen in love and it couldn't have felt any finer

My baby likes to boogie to the dancin' sounds. I was born with two left feet
She thinks I can swing to the disco thing but I just can't get it
She keeps saying

Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya

1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get

I wanted to keep my cast on longer but the doctor said it was time
Now I watch Soul Train and American Bandstand but I just ain't got no rhythm
I can't keep time

(girl):
What will you say when you learn the day
there's no way you can live to be the man of her dreams

(answer):
I'll just say
Ooga sha la bango cooco mungoo yeah
Koko gris gris gumbo naya

1. And it didn't make no sense
2. I just hope the girl forgets
3. This is all you're gonna get

Mi Vedevo Già


Mi Vedevo Già
English & French Titles:
It Will Be My Day; Je M'voyais Déjà
Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



A diciott'anni la mia provincia grigia
Abbandonai deciso ad arrivar
Portavo via più sogni che valigie
Deciso a conquistar la gran città
Presi così dal sarto più di nome
L'abito blu, ch'era una novità
E tra foto, canzoni ed orchestrazioni
I miei risparmi son finiti là
Mi vedevo già sopra ai manifesti
Col mio nome grande
Più grande di chi non importa chi
Mi vedevo già, grande fra i modesti
E firmavo foto, stringevo mani
Di qua e di là
Il più grande dei grandi fantasisti
Ed ogni successo la gente in piedi
Acclamava me
Mi vedevo già elencare in liste
Chi poteva a turno per una sera
Abbracciarsi a me
Certo sto invecchiandomi
Sempre in questi panni
Ma la voce è là, frutto d'esperienza
E di capacità
Sono inacidito un po'
Col passar degli anni
Però del mestiere ho tante idee
Che non tradirò
Non domando che di calcar la scena
Ogni volta il cuore
Davanti aL pubblico batterà
Non ho avuto mai un po' di fortuna
Non han mai capito
Che ho del talento
Ma io ne ho
L'abito blu
Trent'anni che lo porto
Le mie canzoni far ridere solo me
Ogni scrittura mi butto a corpo morto
E sopravvivo chi lo sa com'è
Conosco solo trionfi raccontati
Viaggi di notte e dame demodè
Miserabili paghe, valigie e tourné
Con pasti magri e scalcinati hotel
Mi vedevo già in fotografia
In inverno ai monti, l'estate al mare
Con qualche star
Raccontare già la mia biografia
Per i debuttanti con l'aria magica
Di chi sà
Ogni mia prémiére era una marea
Mille telegrammi dal temutissimo
Tout Paris, superato il crac
Di quella platea, ritornavo in scena
Fra i proiettori a cantare il bis
Ho tentato tutto ormai
Per venire avanti
Ho provato il serio, ho provato il comico
E l'éclaqué, se ho sbagliato tutto
E resto in mezzo ai tanti
Non è colpa mia, è colpa di
Chi non mi ha capito mai
L'occasione a me l'hen negata in tanti
Altri son riusciti, avranno i soldi
Ma voce no. Ero troppo bravo
Ho vent'anni avanti, ma verrà
Quel giorno che il mio talento
Dimostrerò

Onze Wereld


Onze Wereld
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Een herfst met kracht, een wintersterk
Een lentelied, een zomernacht
Een hart dat klopt, een kind dat lacht
Een hand die reikt, een moederhart
Een boom die groeit, een bloem die geurt
Het gras is groen, een tuin die bloeit
Een zee die bruist, de branding tiert
Een meeuw die roept, een storm die giert

Dit is dan de kracht die de wereld biedt
Een hemelse kracht, nee verloochen het niet

Een donderslag - een bliksemschicht
En kijk de regen valt uit 't felle licht
Een berg gekleed in sneeuwtapijt
Een waterval die naar rivieren glijdt
Een zon die gloeit, een ster die wacht
Op 't maanlicht dat de nacht verzacht

En dan een hemel blauw
Een gouden strand
Waar jij en ik
Lopen hand in hand

Mi tierra
Tiene palmeras
Como la tierra caliente
¡Mi tierra!

Mi tierra
Tiene montañas
Mitad fuego, mitad nieve
¡Mi tierra!

Mi tierra tiene su sol
El mismo sol que tu tierra
Mi tierra tiene su voz
Que ruge si se la encierra
¡Mi terra!

Dime de qué tierra vengo
Dímelo tú, buen amigo
Tierra de la que no tengo
Más que polvo del camino
Más que polvo del camino

Mi tierra
Tiene naranjos
y tres mares que la besan
¡Mi tierra!

Mi tierra tiene una flor
Como cualquier tierra tiene
La flor de la libertad
que no se pudre ni muere
¡Mi terra!
¡Mi terra!

Dime de qué tierra vengo
Dímelo tú, buen amigo
Tierra de la que no tengo
Más que polvo del camino
Dime de qué tierra vengo
Dímelo tú, buen amigo
Dime de qué tierra vengo
Yo, si quieres te lo digo
Yo, si quieres te lo digo

Coro

Dime de qué tierra vengo
Dímelo tú, buen amigo

Voz

Si sientes lo que yo siento
¡Ven y canta conmigo!
¡Ven y canta conmigo!

Only You Know And I Know (Phil Collins)


Only You Know And I Know
Composer(s): Phil Collins; Daryl Stuermer
Performer(s): Phil Collins



We know you really only want to hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you please don't do it
You do it anyway
Sometimes I know, we got to be cruel
Be cruel to be kind
When I ask you, what you see in me
You say our love is blind
Cause only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
I open up and give you everything
Then you say, OK what else
And when I run away you always cry
You always over react
But I don't know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back
Cause only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Just try to remember
Now I'm the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
I'm the one you're always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday
Cause only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say, yes
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know...

Mi Tenampa


Mi Tenampa
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
and various other artists



Cuál cariño es el que dices
que te dí con toda el alma
cuando abriste tú conmigo
la persiana del Tenampa
Tú que sabes de parrandas
tú que entiendes por pasiones
tú cuando oyes un mariachi
ni comprendes sus canciones
Parranda y Tenampa
mariachi, canciones
así es como vivo yo
Tú que sabes de la vida
de la vida entre las copas
tu pa'ser mi consentida
necesitas muchas cosas
Yo me paro en la cantina
y a salud de las ingratas
hago que se sirva vino
pa'que nazcan serenatas
Y una vez yo bien servido
voy al rumbo del Tenampa
ahí me agarro a mi mariachí
y a cantar con toda el alma
Parranda y Tenampa
mariachi, canciones
así es como vivo yo
