He estado al alcance de todos los bolsillos
porque no cuesta nada mirarse para adentro
He estado al alcance de todas la manos
que han querido tocar mi mano amigamente
Pero, pobre de mi, no he estado con los presos
de su propia cabeza acomodada
no he estado en los que ríen con solo media risa
los delimitadores de las primaveras
No he estado en los archivos ni en las papelerías
y se me archiva en copias y no en originales
No he estado en los mercados grandes de la palabra
pero he dicho lo mío a tiempo y sonriente
No he estado enumerando las manchas en el sol
pues sé que en una sola mancha cabe el mundo
He procurado ser un gran mortificado
para, si mortifico, no vayan a acusarme
Aunque se dice que me sobran enemigos
todo el mundo me escucha bien quedo cuando canto
Yo he preferido hablar de cosas imposibles
porque de lo posible se sabe demasiado
He preferido el polvo así, sencillamente
pues la palabra amor aún me suena hueco
He preferido un golpe así, de vez en cuando
porque la inmunidad me carcome los huesos
Agradezco la participación de todos
los que colaboraron en esta melodía
Se debe subrayar la importante tarea
de los perseguidores de cualquier nacimiento
Si alguien que me escucha se viera retratado
sépase que se hace con ese destino
Cualquier reclamación que sea sin membrete
Buenas noches, amigos y enemigos

The Road And The Sky
The Road And The Sky
Performer(s): Jackson Browne
When we come to a place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was going to have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide
Well I spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well
And I can hear my dreams singing clear as a bell
I used to know where they ended and the world began
But now it's getting hard to tell
I could be just around the corner from Heaven or a mile from Hell
I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind a wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
I'm going to get a little higher
And see if I can hot-wire reality
Now can you see those dark cloud gathering up ahead?
They're going to wash this planet clean like the Bible said
Now you can hold on steady and try to be ready
But everybody's gonna get wet
Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet
I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
I'm going to get a little higher
And see if I can hot-wire reality

Restless Kid
Restless Kid
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Performer(s): Ricky Nelson; Waylon Jennings
I came in like a restless wind on a wagon train
But I'm gonna go like a July snow
Back to where I came from
Gonna leave this humdrum it's too slow and tame
None of your business where I've been
Don't ask me what I've done
Run your ranch and punch your cows
And stay behind my gun man
Colorado's right hand will put you on the run
I've got a gal in Denver town
That's crying over me
But I said goodbye and I let her cry
I miss her company but
I'll get out of this rut, Rio Bravo's killing me
They gotta man locked in a cell
That's a freer man than I
He's gonna laugh right in their face
When they lead him out to die and
He's gonna leave these badlands
And ride off in the sky
You're gonna see old Colorado
Headed for the door
You better believe I'm gonna leave
Like the 904 train
Gonna breathe some air again
That ain't been breathed before

The Road
The Road
Composer(s): Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago
If you'd like to get together
Then come right over to me
Ooh, We can do anything
That you like to do
If you'd like to give your love
Then please just feel free
Because I may be gone tomorrow
And not even know your name
Now please don't misunderstand my loneliness
Let's never ever talk of time
'Cause friends may fade away
And our hopes will say goodnight
And our friendship would be lost
It would be such a waste of time
So let's just
Let's have a good thing girl
And let's not worry
Let's do everything we want
And let's not cry
When it's over
When I leave
Our thing won't die
If you really understand
Then come right over to me
We can play together for a while
And still be free

Climb A Tree With Me
Climb A Tree With Me
Composer(s): Chas. K. Harris
I've come to see the little girl
I loved from year to year
I've come to watch each little curl
That made your head so dear
Let's go out to the orchard where, we roamed in childish glee
There's something I would tell you if, you'll climb a tree with me
I've left the noisy city with, its heart-aches and its strife
To make you happy sweetheart in
The noon time of your life
Success was hard to win my dear, at last it came to me
I'll tell you all about it if, you'll climb the same old tree
Oh come and climb a tree with me
As we climbed long years a-go
All the birds sang birdie words
And they meant "I love you so"
From care let's flee and climb a tree
If you slip I'll hold your hand
So let's climb a tree, you and me
And dream of baby land

Restless (Johnny Kidd & The Pirates)
Restless
Composer(s): Teddy Wadmore - Dale Stanley - Frederick Heath
First release by: Johnny Kidd & The Pirates - 1960
You don’t know how restless you’ve made me
Don’t know baby what a fool you’ve made out of me
Are you still to be my lovin’ baby?
Come and take a chance, a re-e-e-eal romance
You keep me waiting for a date
And when you do you turn up late
And try to play it cool
Not cool enough to make it stick
I knew it was another trick
To keep me waiting and keep me waiting
Ooh baby, you made me so restless
Yeah, well, I’m so restless
Now I’m through with love, maybe
I don’t want romance
I’ll never ever take another chance

The River's Too Wide
The River's Too Wide
Composer(s): Bob Morrison
First release by: Jim Mundy - 1973
The river's too wide now for crossin'
The water rushed too loud for talkin'
We never built bridges for walkin'
Now the river's too wide
A gentle stream once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
And made that stream a ragin' river
Come between you and me
The river's too wide now for crossin'
The water rushed too loud for talkin'
We never built bridges for walkin'
There's no getting' to the other side
The river's too wide for crossin'
The hurtin' goes too deep for mendin'
It looks like an unhappy endin'
`Cos the river's too wide
Good lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave up love to save our pride
Next time I'm faced with risin' water
I'll build a bridge of love and kindness
Reachin' to the other side
And the river's too wide now for crossin'
The water rushed too loud for talkin'
We never built bridges for walkin'
There's no getting' to the other side
The river's too wide for crossin'
The hurtin' goes too deep for mendin'
It looks like an unhappy endin'
`Cos the river's too wide

Covered by multiple other artists
Well I walked up to her window
I said, gimme a ticket please
She said, where to mister?
I said, that's all right with me honey
I'm just restless
I need to get on out of town
I need to go right now
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found
Huh-huh, right now
I said, honey tell that driver
To put his big foot on that gas
Run this old grey dog
Just as long as it might last
I'm just restless
I need to get on out of town
I need to go right now
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found
Huh-huh, right now
I said, honey tell that driver
Take me farther down the road
Just take this grey dog
Any place he wants to go
I'm travelling light
Because I might be going far
Takin' nothing but the clothes on my back
And my big red guitar
Honey, I'm just restless
I need to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found

River Of Life
River Of Life
Composer(s): Jonathan Butler
Performer(s): Jonathan Butler
Everyday, I see your face
Like a prayer, I pray each day
That my heart would be whole
And my soul be filled
And my mind nearing you, with you
With your arms open wide
I can see in my mind
Your letter just waiting for me
I run, I walk, I fly like a bird
(I run, I walk, I fly)
I swim to the sea like a [Incomprehensible]
(I swim to the sea)
But I'm drifting away
Yeah, to the river of life
Oh, to the river of life
You're my river of life
Like a tower, you're my grace
Like a shield, fear every place
Surrounding with angels, the millions above
I stand on the mountain top, you show me your love
The glory around you, is all on my head
Cleanse me from everything I've done
Everything I said
I walk, I run, I swim to the sea
(I walk, I run, I swim)
I fly like a bird, like the eagle with wings
(I fly)
And I fly to your arms, deep down inside
And I fly to your arms 'cos you're my river of life
(My river, my river, my river)
You're the river of life
(My river, my river, my river)
Yeah, I fly to the river
I run to the ocean sea
I know the flowing in me
All the sounds that I hear inside of me
River, yeah
So and I run to the ocean, I circle the sea
To the river of my destiny, to the place where I'll be
Safely in your arms tonight, 'cos you're the river of life
(The river, the river, the river)
Yeah, yeah, river of life
(The river, the river, the river)
To the river of life
(The river, the river, the river)
The river of, the river of, the river of life
(The river, the river)
Yeah, the river of life

Cleopatterer
Cleopatterer
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; P.G. Wodehouse
Performer(s): Dorothy Greener
and various other artists
In days of old beside the Nile
A famous queen there dwelt
Her clothes were few
But full of style
Her figure slim and swelt
On every man that wandered by
She pulled the Theda Bara eye
And every one observed with awe
That her work was swift
But never raw
I'd be like Cleopatterer
If I could have my way
Each man she met she went and kissed.
And she'd dozens on her waiting list
I wish that I had lived there
Beside the pyramid
For a girl today don't get the scope
That Cleopatterer did
And when she tired as girls will do
Of Bill or Jack or Jim
The time had come, his friends all knew
To say goodbye to him
She couldn't stand by any means
Reproachful, stormy farewell scenes
To such coarse stuff she would not stoop
So she just put poison in his soup
When out with Cleopatterer
Men always made their wills
They knew there was no time to waste
When the gumbo had that funny taste
They'd take her hand and squeeze it
They'd murmur "Oh you kid!"
But they never liked to start to feed
Til Cleopatterer did
She danced new dances now and then
The sort that make you blush
Each time she did them, scores of men
Got injured in the rush
They'd stand there gaping in a line
And watch her agitate her spine
It simply use to knock them flat
When she went like this and then like that
At dancing Cleopatterer
Was always on the spot
She gave these poor Egyptian ginks
Something else to watch besides the spinx
Marc Antony admitted
That what first made him skid
Was the wibbly, wobbly, wiggly dance
That Cleopatterer did

Restera-T-Il Un Chant D'Oiseau
Restera-T-Il Un Chant D'Oiseau
Composer(s): Claude Delecluse
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Que restera-t-il sur la terre
Dans cinquante ans
On empoisonne les rivières
Les océans
On mange des hydrocarbures
Que sais-je encore
Le Rhône charrie du mercure
Des poissons morts
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau
Le monde a perdu la boussole
Qu'a-t-il gagné
Des plages noires de pétrole
Pour se baignier
L'atome va régner sur terre
Comme un Seigneur
Qu'en ferons-nous c'est une affaire
Qui me fait peur
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau
A peine le malheur des hommes
Est-il moins grand
Que déjà pourrissent les pommes
Des nouveaux temps
Enfants enfants la terre est ronde
Criez plus fort
Pour que se réveille le monde
S'il n'est pas mort
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau

The River Of Jordan
The River Of Jordan
Composer(s): Hazel Houser
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers
and multiple other artists
To the River Of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John The Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air
I'm on my way to the River Of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down to the River Of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman "go dip yourself in Jordan"
And let the cool waters wash your spots away
So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
He waded right in the rushing waters
He dipped himself in the River Of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River Of Jordan that will be

Cleopatra
Cleopatra
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Resbalando los dedos por el agua
al pie de su ciudad vieja y caída
sin esclavos ni antonios, junto al Nilo
vi un día a Cleopatra compungida
Qué puede hacer un trovador entonces
sino inmediatamente enamorarse
cantar una canción, hablar un poco
tratar de hacerse ver: fingir ahogarse
Por más que quise hacer menos salía
canté y hablé quizas exagerando
pero ningún sonido le alzó el rostro
y comprendí lo que estaba pasando
Sucedía que la reina y el paisaje
que yo creía ver, había sido
la húmeda versión que me dio el rio
puesto que me encontraba sumergido

Quand les hommes se déchirent
Rien qu'un mot, un sourire
Et je suis bien

Sur le ciel, sur ma vie
Reste ici
Je t'en prie, je t'en supplie
Reste ici
Oh! Reste avec moi

The River Of Dreams
The River Of Dreams
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And its too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down in the evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesnt take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Smething so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Cleo
Cleo
Composer(s): Lee S. Roberts - J. Will Callahan
Pale moonlight!
A wondrous night!
My fancy takes its flight to Rainbow Isle
Swaying trees a truant breeze
All bring you to me just for a while
Some June night love's magic light
May guide your boat a right to Rainbow Isle
O'er the sea of memory
Some time, in the golden
After while
Cleo, I see only you
And the dream makes me lonesome and blue
Brings back that moment divine
When I fancied your heart answered mine
Cleo, 'twill be only you
And I'd give all this world if you knew
Just how I'm yearning, and wait for your returning
Come back to me
My Cleo, do!
