Como Esperando Abril


Como Esperando Abril
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
las nubes de la mañana
son
una flor
que le ha nacido a un tren
Un reloj
se transforma en cangrejo
y la capa de un viejo
da
con una tempestad de comején

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
algodones jugaban
a ser un jardín
en espera de abril

Luego entro los ojos
chorreando esa luz de infinito
y es cuando necesito
un perro, un bastón, una mano, una fe
Y tú pasas tocando
el frío con suave silencio
y, ciego, te sentencio
a que nombres todo lo que ahora no sé

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
las nubes de la mañana
son
una flor
que le ha nacido a un tren
Un reloj
se transforma en cangrejo
y la capa de un viejo
da
con una tempestad de comején

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
algodones jugaban
a ser un jardín
en espera de abril
Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
mi esperanza jugaba
a una flor
a un jardín
como esperando abril

Romeo And Juliet


Romeo And Juliet
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits



Narrator:
A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says "hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
He's underneath the window she's singing "hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"

Romeo:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, both the streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes in the dream it was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks, like the talk on TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything, except be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the band company
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Narrator:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Romeo:
"You and me babe, how about it?"

The Wizard (Uriah Heep)


The Wizard
Composer(s): Ken Hensley - Mark Clarke
First release by: Uriah Heep - 1972



He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again

Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
‘Cause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

Como En Tahití­


Como En Tahití
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Esa guerra no es la mía
no pretendo ningún Potosí
qué hago yo con una espada
si me aterra ver un bisturí
Sácame de entre las fieras
que prefiero la clausura
de estar entre tus caderas
a partirme la figura
por ahí, por ahí

No quiero salir de ti
que hace mucho frío afuera
deja que me instale aquí
donde siempre es primavera
como en Tahití

Sálvame de la intemperie
que el Montaje me resulta hostil
no me arrojes a la calle
que es dama es una trampa vil
So no es mucha la molestia
déjame quedarme dentro
como la pequeña bestia
que, perdida, va al reencuentro
del redil, del redil

No quiero salir de ti...

Mécete lo imprescindible
que no hay que abordar ningún botín
navegando a la deriva
llegaremos al postrer confín
ese extraño paraíso
de invertidos catalejos
donde no hay más compromiso
que el deber de estar muy lejos
del motín, del motín

No quiero salir de ti...

Roméo


Roméo (Adapted from: Salome - 1961) (English Version: Romeo - 1961) Composer(s): Composer(s): Arthur Rebner - Robert Stolz - Jean Broussolle Performer(s): Petula Clark - 1961



Tant qu'on saura que Juliette était blonde Et Roméo fou d'amour Tant qu'on saura que notre terre est ronde Et qu'on en a fait le tour On verra s'en aller le cortège Des jolis rêves perdus Et tourne, tournera le manège Des amours défendues Roméo Ton prénom sent si bon l'amour Roméo Ton prénom chantera toujours Roméo Dans le cœur des filles des faubourgs Roméo Toi qui a su mourir d'amour Mais aujourd'hui tu irais en Ecosse Avec ta Juliette au bras Tu t'en irais sans habit ni carrosse Lui passer la bague au doigt Tu oublierais tes parents insensibles Mais toi, pauvre de toi Pour sauver un amour impossible Tu n'avais pas le choix Roméo Ton prénom sent si bon l'amour Roméo Ton prénom chantera toujours Roméo Dans le cœur des filles des faubourgs Roméo Toi qui a su mourir d'amour

The Wizard (Black Sabbath)


The Wizard
((Latin Version: Magus (Rondellus) - 2002)
Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward
First release by: Black Sabbath - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic

Como Dois E Dois


Como Dois E Dois
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Quando você me ouvir cantar
Venha não creia eu não corro perigo
Digo não digo não ligo
Deixo no ar
Eu sigo apenas porque eu gosto de cantar
Tudo vai mal
Tudo
Tudo é igual quando eu canto e sou mudo
Mas eu não minto não minto
Estou longe e perto
Sinto alegrias tristezas e brinco
Meu amor
Tudo em volta está deserto tudo certo
Tudo certo como dois e dois são cinco

Quando você me ouvir chorar
Tente não cante não conte comigo
Falo não calo não falo
Deixo sangrar
Algumas lágrimas bastam pra consolar
Tudo vai mal
Tudo
Tudo mudou não me iludo e contudo
A mesma porta sem trinco
O mesmo teto o mesmo teto
E a mesma lua a furar nosso zinco
Meu amor
Tudo em volta está deserto tudo certo
Tudo certo como dois e dois são cinco

Romeo (Petula Clark)


Romeo (Adapted from: Salome - 1961) (French Version: Roméo - 1961) Composer(s): Composer(s): Arthur Rebner - Robert Stolz - Jimmy Kennedy Performer(s): Petula Clark - 1961



I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet

Now that I know him
I'm not really sure
boy you're as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me

Romeo
why am I so in love with you
Romeo
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy

You know I like you as my Romeo
that's how I want you to be
but if you're out on some other date
can you be true to me

Romeo
why am I so in love with you
Romeo
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

Magus

Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward - Kristiina Leinemann
Performer(s): Magus - 2002



Nebulosa, nubila dies
Repentino magus ambulans
inficit umbra, cantitat sic
Habet vestem tintinnantem

Nihil dieens
praetermeat
Tantae sunt vires

Malae vires fugiunt
Daemones timent, magus cum adest
Tristes mutat hilares
Omnes gaudent, donee magus adest

Nihil dicens
praetenneat
Tantae sunt vires

Sol lucescit, nubes absunt
hominesque-iaeti sunt nunc
Magus in nos notam fecit
iaetari nos praeferimus

Nihil dicens
praeterrneat
Tantae sunt vires

Como Dijo Cristo


Como Dijo Cristo
Composer(s): Ramón Ortega Contreras
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Perdona si te quito el tiempo
pero me urge mucho hablar hoy contigo
Quisiera aclarar un punto
muy interesante de nuestro cariño

Me dices que me quieres mucho
pero hay quienes dicen que no es verdad
que te has enamorado de otros labios
quiero que me digas hoy la realidad

Envidia yo no tengo envidia
yo no siento celos por ningún cariño
Y menos cuando estoy dudando
cuando no hay un lazo que nos tenga unidos

Al César lo que sea del César
como dijo Cristo te lo digo a ti
tú dale a todo el mundo lo que quieras
yo no más te pido lo que sea de mí

Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day)


Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day)
Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Beverly Prudhomme
Performer(s): Sam Cooke;
Arthur Conley; Johnnie Taylor



Chorus:
Don't, honey, don't go away, no no
Don't you hear, don't you hear what I say, what I say?
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day

Now you know that I love you, dear, with all my heart
I know that you didn't love me from the start
That I'm planting a little seed in your heart, I know
And it just needs time to grow, baby

(chorus)

Listen to me, honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard-to-get?
He would never let this bother him, this I know
Because where there's life, there's hope

(chorus)

Don't you hear me tellin' you that Rome wasn't built in a day?
Don't you realize that Rome wasn't built in a day?

Marie, Marie, da voodoo veau, she'll put a spell on you-ou
Marie, Marie, da voodoo veau, she'll put a spell on you

She's the witch queen (ahhhh) of New Orlea-eans
Of New Orlea-eans

I'm gonna tell you a story, strange as it now see-eems
Of zombie, voodoo, gris gris, and the Witch Queen of New Orleans
She lived in a world of magic, possessed by the devils skew-ew
From a shack near the swamplands, made of mud-pile brick
Marie stirred her witches brew-ew

Marie, Marie, da voodoo veau, she'll put a spell on you-ou

Dime or a nickel anyone could buy-uy, voodoo of any ki-ind
She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves
Guaranteed to blow your mi-ind
Early one mornin' into mucky swamp dew
Vanished Marie with hate in her eye-eyes
Though she'll never return, all the Cajuns knew-ew
A Witch Queen never die-ie-ies

Marie, Marie, da voodoo veau, she'll put a spell on you-ou
Marie, Marie, da voodoo veau, she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie, da voodoo ve

Como Boomerang
Composer(s): Emilio del Guercio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



A vos
te presto mi corazón
llevalo por otros mundos
y otras distancias y otros amores
llevátelo
A vos
te doy mi mejor canción
llevala para tu vida
para esa herida
para tu boca
llevátela
Yo la esperaré despierto otra vez
cuando ella quiera volver
trayéndome nuevas historias
para contar
A vos
te presto mi corazón
para ese amor de verano
beso por beso, mano por mano
llevátelo
A vos
te doy mi mejor canción
para una noche cualquiera
por la vereda, mirando el cielo
llevátela
Yo la esperaré despierto otra vez
cuando ella quiera volver
trayendome nuevas historias
para contar

Romanza De La Luna


Romanza De La Luna
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Vuela el mundo sobre el techo
dicen el búho que cantando
todo mira, todo busca
todo dice pregonando
pregonando, ay, pregonando

¿Dónde está la siempreterna
moraleja de la luna?
¿Dónde está que no la encuentro
yo, que no tengo ninguna
desde cuándo, ay, desde cuándo?

Cantar y cantar
las lunas se van y se van
Mas otras vendrán
porque éstas no están
ya no están

Subo un monte en la mañana
bajo un río por la tarde
voy con tu mirada a cuestas
sobre mi mente que arde
desde cuándo, ay, desde cuándo

The Winner Takes It All


The Winner Takes It All
Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Bjorn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1980 - A Ty Se Ptáš, Co Já (Helena Vondrácková)
1981 - Bravo Tu As Gagné (Mireille Mathieu)
1981 - Allora Prendi E Vai (Wilma Goich)
1995 - De Wereld Draait Maar Door... (Wendy Van Wanten)
2005 - Va Todo Al Ganador (Nina)



I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

Como antes, más que antes, te amaré
por la vida yo mi vida te daré
Será un sueño para mí si vuelves conmigo

Cada día, cada instante, dulcemente te diré
como antes, más que antes, como antes
más que antes, te amaré

Espinhos, esporas
Sobre a renda labirinto
Pedras no meu peito
Aberto em chaga amor

Ai ferraduras de prata
Cascos tinindo a aurora
Que cavaleiro castanho
Come teu pelo moreno

Breu e cal manchas de sangue
Gavião cara-donzela
Cachorro que não se aqueta
Sobre a cama camarinha

Espinhos, esporas...

Lençol cheiro de alfazema
Falas, copos de aguardente
Facas rasgando o corpete
Suspiros parto criança

Hoje eu ví toque a defunto
Das dores doido de estrada
Eu d’olhos solto nos ares
Conheço a morte e a paixão

Ya no quiero hablar, ya se dijo todo
Duele aun mover cosas del ayer
Hice igual que tu, me quede sin cartas
Ya no hay vuelta atras, no reparten mas

Va todo al ganador, a quien jugó mejor
Me toca a mi perder, que le voy a hacer
Quise ver en ti, un lugar seguro
Un muro alrededor, ese fue mi error

No debi soñar un amor tan puro
Que inocente fue, ir de buena fe
Los dioses por placer, elijen sin querer
Sus dados al rodar, marcan nuestro azar

Va todo al ganador
Te deja su dolor es como debe ser
Hoy igual que ayer

Y dime como es, como son sus besos
Si al llamarte amor, es mejor su voz
Algo en tu interior sabe que te añora para que mentir
Yo no se fingir y no importa que juez sentencie cada vez

El fallo se cumplio nadie se quejo el juego
Sigue igual actues bien o mal lo bueno
Y lo mejor va todo al ganador...
Ya no quiero hablar, ya no me apetece
Gracias por venir no hay nada que añadir
Siento estar asi, si eso te entristece
Llena de ansiedad de inseguridad ya lo ves
Va todo al ganador va todo al ganador el juego
Sigue igual actues bien o mal lo bueno
Y lo mejor va todo al ganador...
Va todo al ganador

Como Amo Yo

Si alguna vez has visto atardecer
cuando la voz del viento
es como un pequeño sin hogar
llorando tras el trebolar
Si has visto al sol caer tras el pinar
ardiendo como un tronco en el mar
y entre las sombras sin querer
lloraste en un atardecer
es que has amado alguna vez
como amo yo su desnudez
Como amo yo

Romantica Moscu


Romantica Moscu
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Una dulce musica
Una luz palida
Y una sombra antigua
Un violin quejandose
Una voz zingara
Y un sabor a lagrimas
Un camino inmensamente blanco
Que no acabara
Y un castillo viejo recordando
Tiempos que se van
Un temblor de citaras
Una culta oracion
Y una noche sin final

Oh, oh, moscu
Oh, oh, moscu
Romantica moscu

Una hermosa fabula
Bajo un sol timido
Y una blanca luna
Un millon de cupulas
Y en un lago una flor
Solitaria y unica
Un camino inmensamente blanco
Que no acabara
Y un castillo viejo recordando
Tiempos que se van
Un temblor de citaras
Una culta oracion
Y una noche para amar
