Imagínate
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Imagínate
que desde muy niño
te llevaba flores
te daba mi abrigo

Imagínate
que soy el amigo
de tu mismo barrio
que lleva tus libros

Imagínate
que soy de tu calle
que siempre pasé
por donde miraste

Imagínate
que hasta mi perro
me busca en tu puerta
cuando me le pierdo

Imagínate
que eres mi dama
mi último sueño
mi más roja flama

Imagínate
que somos nosotros
tú y yo para siempre
que no eres de otro

Imaginary Lover


Imaginary Lover
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; Dean Daughtry; Robert Nix
Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section; Nancy Sinatra



Imaginary lovers
Never turn you down
When all the others turn you away
They're around
It's my private pleasure
Midnight fantasy
Someone to share my
Wildest dreams with me
Imaginary lover you're mine anytime
Imaginary lovers, oh yeah

When ordinary lovers
Don't feel what you feel
And real-life situations lose their thrill
Imagination's unreal
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Imaginary lovers never disagree
They always care
They're always there when
You need satisfaction guaranteed
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine all the time
My imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Toen Jij Verdween


Toen Jij Verdween
(Adapted from: In Dreams - 1963)
Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Jan De Vuyst
Performer(s): Doran - 1998



'k Voel me opgesloten, 'k kan niet slapen
De warmte in de kamer zo benauwd
Het zingen van de zee drijft mij naar buiten
Haar geruis is voor mij zo vertrouwd

Ik zie jou weer
Ja, elke keer
Als ik mijn ogen sluit
Dan hoor ik weer

Jouw zachte stem
Die mij verwendt
Jouw lieve woordjes als
Ik hoor bij jou

Ik droom alleen van jou
Jouw wil vult mij geheel
Want jij gaf mij al wat ik wou
Ik leef, nee ik leefde voor jou, voor jou

Die dag toen jij verdween
Ik vergeet die dag nooit meer
Toen je wegging en ik doodging
Toen je zei 'ik wil weggaan, laat me weggaan, vaarwel'

En ik schreeuwde 'blijf bij mij'
Want ik begeer jou voor mij
Oh, blijf bij mij
Mijn leven ben jij

Imagina Só


Imagina Só
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Imagina só
Que eu desde pequena
Provava um bocado
Da tua merenda

Imagina só
Que eu sou da tua sala
Carregas meus livros
E eu te passo cola

Imagina só
Que eu sou da tua rua
Abri uma porta
De frente pra tua

Imagina só
Que o teu cão amigo
Só sabe o teu cheiro
Quando estás comigo

Imagina só
Que eu sou tua dama
Teu último sonho
A mais viva chama

Imagina só
Que eu sou tua garota
Nós dois para sempre
Que não és de outra

Hoje à noite
A gente se peder
Imagina
Imagina
Hoje à noite
A lua se apagar
Quem já viu a lua cris
Quando a lua começa a murchar
Lua cris
É preciso gritar e correr, socorrer o luar
Meu amor
Abre a porta pra noite passar
E olha o sol
Da manhã
Olha a chuva
Olha a chuva, olha o sol, olha o dia a lançar
Serpentinas
Serpentinas pelo céu
Sete fitas
Coloridas
Sete vias
Sete vidas
Avenidas
Pra qualquer lugar
Imagina
Imagina

Sabe que o menino que passar debaixo do arco-íris vira moça, vira
A menina que cruzar de volta o arco-íris rapidinho vira volta a ser rapaz
A menina que passou no arco era o
Menino que passou no arco
E vai virar menina

All Praise To Thee, Eternal God


All Praise To Thee, Eternal God
Composer(s): Martin Luther



All praise to Thee, eternal God
Who, clothed in garb of flesh and blood
Dost take a manger for Thy throne
While worlds on worlds are Thine alone
Hallelujah!

Once did the skies before Thee bow
A virgin's arms contain Thee now
While angels, who in Thee rejoice
Now listen for Thine infant voice
Hallelujah!

A little Child, Thou art our Guest
That weary ones in Thee may rest
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth
That we may rise to heaven from earth
Hallelujah!

Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light
To make us in the realms divine
Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine
Hallelujah!

All this for us Thy love hath done
By This to Thee our love is won
For this our joyful songs we raise
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise
Hallelujah!

Images - Paris Qui Va ...


Images - Paris Qui Va ...
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Paris qui chante et t'éclabousse
De la lumière

Tu connais bien Paris la faim
Paris qui meurt sur un trottoir
Ou sous un pont

Tu connais bien Paris le jour
Paris qui passe indifférent
De ta misère

Bien trop pressé tu le sais bien
Paris l'argent et les affair's
Et toi fauché

Tu connais bien Paris qui fum'
Ses cheminées couvert's de suie
Paris qui peine

Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Dans la prison dans le silence
Et dans le froid

Tu connais bien les jours sans fin
Les jours bizarr's sans horizon
Qui désespèrent

Tu connais bien l'eau qui sourit
Plein' de promess's qui vous attir'
Dans son sourire

Tu connais bien Paris meurtri
Paris en sang
Paris qui hurle de colère.

Tu connais bien Paris qui rêv'
Paris qui dit des mots d'amour
Paris qui aime

Tu connais bien Paris qui va

All My Heart This Night Rejoices


All My Heart This Night Rejoices
Composer(s): Johann Georg Ebeling; Paul Gerhardt
Performer(s): The Cambridge Singers;
and various other artists



All my heart this night rejoices
As I hear Far and near
Sweetest angel voices
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
Till the air Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing

Forth today the Conqueror goeth
Who the foe, Sin and woe
Death and hell, o'erthroweth
God is man, man to deliver
His dear Son Now is one
With our blood forever

Shall we still dread God's displeasure
Who, to save, Freely gave
His most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, He hath given
His own Son From the throne
Of His might in heaven

Should He who Himself imparted
Aught withhold From the fold
Leave us broken-hearted?
Should the Son of God not love us
Who, to cheer Sufferers here
Left His throne above us?

If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men, Would He then
Be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted
Would He bear All the care
Of our race benighted?

He becomes the Lamb that taketh
Sin away And for aye
Full atonement maketh
For our life His own He tenders
And our race, By His grace
Meet for glory renders

Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet, Doth entreat
"Flee from woe and danger
Brethren, from all ills that grieve you
You are feed; All you need
I will surely give you"

Come, then, banish all your sadness
One and all, Great and small
Come with songs of gladness
Love Him who with love is glowing
Hail the Star, Near and far
Light and joy bestowing

Ye whose anguish knew no measure
Weep no more; See the door
To celestial pleasure
Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross, Pain, or loss
Can again betide you

Hither come, ye heavy-hearted
Who for sin, Deep within
Long and sore have smarted
For the poisoned wound you're feeling
Help is near, One is here
Mighty for their healing

Hither come, ye poor and wretched
Know His will Is to fill
Every hand outstretched
Here are riches without measure
Here forget All regret
Fill your hearts with treasure

Let me in my arms receive Thee
On Thy breast Let me rest
Savior, ne'er to leave Thee
Since Thou hast Thyself presented
Now to me, I shall be
Evermore contented

Guilt no longer can distress me
Son of God, Thou my load
Bearest to release me
Stain in me Thou findest never
I am clean, All my sin
Is removed forever

I am pure, in Thee believing
From Thy store Evermore
Righteous robes receiving
In my heart I will enfold Thee
Treasure rare, Let me there
Loving, ever hold Thee

Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish
Though my breath Fail in death
Yet I shall not perish
But with Thee abide forever
There on high, In that joy
Which can vanish never

All I Want Is You This Christmas


All I Want Is You This Christmas
Composer(s): Martin Briley; Dana Calitri
Performer(s): *Nsync



Snowy night
Where it's warm here by the fire
Here with you (here with you)
I have all that I desire
It's been a long year
But somehow we got by
Now it's Christmas Eve
And love is on our side

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree (the tree)
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me?
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas this Christmas)

Children sing (Children sing)
Christmas carols at our door (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Spreading joy (Spreading joy)
That's what Christmas time is for
Though we don't have much
You've got me and I've got you
And with a little faith
Miracles come true!

I don't want the love of any other girl
I want only one thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)

Cheek to cheek
The lights are low
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire's glow
That's all I want tonight

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree (the tree)
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me?
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Yes

I'm Your Toy (Hot Burrito Number 1)


I'm Your Toy (Hot Burrito Number 1) (aka Hot Burrito N°1)
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Ethridge
Performer(s): Elvis Costello
and multiple other artists



You may be sweet and nice
But that won't keep you warm at night
'Cause I'm the one who showed you how
To do the things you're doing now

He may feel all your charms
He may hold you in his arms
But I'm the one who let you in
I was right beside you in the end

Once upon a time
You let me feel you deep inside
But nobody knew, nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried

I'm your toy, I'm your old boy
But I don't want no one but you to love me
No, I wouldn't lie
You know I'm not that kind of guy

Once upon a time
You let me feel you deep inside
But nobody knew, nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried

I'm your toy, I'm your old boy
But I don't want no one but you to love me
No, I wouldn't lie
You know I'm not that kind of guy

All I Want For Christmas Is You (Vince Vance & The Valiants)


All I Want For Christmas Is You
Composer(s): Troy Powers; Andy Stone
Performer(s): Vince Vance & The Valiants;
Flash Cadillac; Frankie Ford



Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on string
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings and bows
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need

Underneath the Christmas tree

More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is

Underneath the mistletoe

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You baby

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so brightly yea)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing (oh yea)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You (You) baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby...
All I want for Christmas is you baby...

Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now, days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Or am I all alone

If you return me, to my home port
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
So, please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger
And it's tightening, around my throat
Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat

Although I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth


All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Composer(s): Donald Gardner
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists



Every body stops
and stares at me
These two teeth are
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could with you
"Merry Christmas"
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
if I could only whistle (thhhh)

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"
