Termination


Termination
Composer(s): Erik Braunn - Lee Dorman
Performer(s): Iron Butterfly



Fly blue sky, voices keep calling, bidding me welcome
Why maiden land, luring me closer, forbidden land

And as I'm standing closer, those natives step beyond

Release the mortal patterns, my mind I post beyond

Spinning in circles
Miracles happen
As lower life, life shows me in to my doom, spirit will striken, the end will come soon

This is termination, the outcome of your life

My Roommate


My Roommate
Composer(s): Henri Belolo; Jacques Morali; Victor Willis
Performer(s): Village People



My Roommate
I swear to you people, it must be my fate
The cards were against me, now there's no escape
I have this here problem, who keeps me up late
My roommate, my roommate

He thinks he's the greatest, dancer of all time
He never stops dancin', he's out of his mind
In the bathroom singing, a pitch out of time
My roommate, my roommate

I can't sleep the day, noon or night
I can't sleep the day, noon or night
I can't take much more
My roommate, my roommate, he's driving me insane
My roommate, my roommate, he plays so many games
My roommate, my roommate, he breaks all of the rules
My roommate, my roommate, he is a dancing fool

I go to the closet, to put on my coat
Instead on the hanger, I find pinned a note
"I went to the disco, I took your best coat"
My roommate, my roommate
I come home real early, thinking he's asleep
Instead I am greeted, by big ugly feet
"I've got this new dance step, five, six, seven, eight"
My roommate, my roommate

He's a dancin' fool, ya'll
Well, let me tell you about him
Well, talkin' 'bout my roommate
My roommate is the kind of guy
who likes his music playin' high
My roommate is the kind of guy
who likes his music playin' high
He dances all night, he dances all day
He dances all night, he dances all day

Teresinha


Teresinha
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



O primeiro me chegou
Como quem vem do florista
Trouxe um bicho de pelúcia
Trouxe um broche de ametista
Me contou suas viagens
E as vantagens que ele tinha
Me mostrou o seu relógio
Me chamava de rainha
Me encontrou tão desarmada
Que tocou meu coração
Mas não me negava nada
E, assustada, eu disse não

O segundo me chegou
Como quem chega do bar
Trouxe um litro de aguardente
Tão amarga de tragar
Indagou o meu passado
E cheirou minha comida
Vasculhou minha gaveta
Me chamava de perdida
Me encontrou tão desarmada
Que arranhou meu coração
Mas não me entregava nada
E, assustada, eu disse não

O terceiro me chegou
Como quem chega do nada
Ele não me trouxe nada
Também nada perguntou
Mal sei como ele se chama
Mas entendo o que ele quer
Se deitou na minha cama
E me chama de mulher
Foi chegando sorrateiro
E antes que eu dissesse não
Se instalou feito um posseiro
Dentro do meu coração

My Romance


My Romance
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
Originally performed by: Gloria Grafton & Donald Novis
Covered by various other artists



My romance doesn’t have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn’t need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hideaway, no soft guitars

My romance doesn’t need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dream come true
My romance doesn’t need a thing, but you

My romance

My romance

Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dream come true
My romance doesn’t need a thing, but you

'Bout this dance called the mess around
Baby dig what I'm puttin' down

Teresa


Teresa
Composer(s): Jack Hoffman - Babe Russin
Performer(s): Kay Kyser & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



Why am I always yearning for Teresa
When there is Peggy, Margarite and Mary Jane
Why does my heart keep burnin' for Teresa
When I know that lovin' her is all in vain
Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet
And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete
Nevertheless there's only one I dream of
Teresa, Teresa my love

Why is he always yearning for Teresa
When we have charms and we have arms to love him so, love him so
Why does his heart keep burning for Teresa
When we'd give all the world just to have him alone for our beau
Whenever we are near him our hearts begin to dance
For he looks at us so tenderly that we think we stand a chance
Nevertheless there's only one he dreams of
Teresa, Teresa his love

Why am I always yearning for Teresa
When there are other girls that I can be around

Oh how I hate to hear that name Teresa
What's she got that I have not I'd like to know

Oh
Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet
And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete

In spite of it all there's only one he dreams of
Teresa

Teresa my love

I haven't found the answer, and chances are I might

If he knew the way to capture her, his future would be bright

Nevertheless there's only one we dream of

Teresa

No one but Teresa

Teresa, Teresa my love

My Rifle, My Pony And Me


My Rifle, My Pony And Me
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Dean Martin
and various other artists



The sun is sinkin' in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in her nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyon
That's where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, pony, and me

Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Comin' home sweetheart darlin'
Just my rifle, pony and me

(Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody)
Ridin' to (Ridin' to) Amarillo (Amarillo)
Just my rifle, pony, and me
No more cows (no more cows) to be ropin' (to be ropin')
No more strays will I see
Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin' (she'll be waitin')
For my rifle, pony, and me
For my rifle, my pony, and me

Green Grass & High Tides


Green Grass & High Tides
Composer(s): Hughie Thomasson
Performer(s): Outlaws



In a place you only dream of
Where your soul is always free
Silver stages, golden curtains
Filled my head, plain as can be
As a rainbow grew round the sun
All the stars I've love who died
Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see
These lovely people played just for me
Now if I let you see this place
Where stories all ring true
Will you let me past your face
To see what's really you
It's not for me I ask these questions
As though I were a king
For you have to love, believe and feel
Before the burst of tamborines take you there

(chorus)
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you

Those who don't believe me
Find your souls and set them free
Those who do, believe and love
As time will be your key
Time and time again I've thanked them
For a piece of mind
They helped me find myself
Amongst the music and the rhyme
That enchants you there

(repeat chorus)

Tercer Mundo


Tercer Mundo
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Hace algunos años un hombre soño
un imperio, un imperio muy grande
tenia buena cara y no paraba de hablar
con el hombre mas odiado y querido del lugar

Y soñaban tener un jardín florido
una patria de México al pie
con hermanos de toda calaña
y en el sueño gritaban
me hundo, me hundo, me hundo

Y nadie sabe como vine a parar yo...
La mona Gimenez con Mickey Rourke
mirando las chicas del puticlub
la banda de rock que mas chicas quiso
entrando muchachos al Caracas Hilton
Coca, Coca, Coca, Coca Sarli
Coca, Coca, Coca, Coca Cola
Coca, Coca, Coca, Coca Cola-inapetente estara Pinochet
el día que lo echen a palos

Seguí caminando llegue a una disco
Khadafi bailando con un ministro
pidieron petróleo y no les dieron
les dieron veneno que es un buen veneno
Fabi Cantilo hecho a Henry Miller
porque era muy tarde y por lo que escribe
a Henry nada de esto le importo
y termino en la cama con la Salomon
ahí van los Pimpinela por la quinta avenida
el Madison al palo, arde la Argentina
Caligula despierta de su hibernación
sube al escenario y los tira a los dos
el gordo Porcel canta rock
y fuma la yerba de Billy Bond
y siguen planeando algo en Bolivia
casar a Almodovar con una niña
y todo el mundo quiere llegar primero
se besan Pedrito con la Merelo
que sueño mas raro es el de esta Giunta (yunta)
las puertas aquí no terminan nunca
Batato jugando con Maradona
solitos, solitos en la de Boca
y sigo caminando y entro en un bar
y ya era de día y no era verdad
Andrés Calamaro y Lou Reed
pensando, pensando salir de aquí
afuera los pibes en la ciudad
creo que no sueñan, no sueñan mas
ya no quiero dólares Bounge & Born
nena, hoy vuelvo a casa a soniar con vos
y en casa yo grito
me hundo, me hundo, me hundo
y nadie sabe como vine a parar yo al tercer mundo
tercer mundo
tercer mundo

My Regular Gal


My Regular Gal
Composer(s): Bud Green; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Back Bay Ramblers



Now, if you see a dainty thing
with a big engagement ring
You’re seeing my regular gal
And if her eyes are baby blue
and they seem to smile at you
You’re seeing my regular gal
If she’s kind and if she’s sweet
all the little kiddies on the street
You’re seeing my regular pal
If you see that certain she
strolling arm in arm with me
You’re seeing my regular gal

Green Grass


Green Grass
Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys;
and various other artists



Green grass 'round my window
Young leaves that the wind blows
Yes, it's springtime, golden sunshine
And we're glad, my little love and I
Now that summertime is nigh

Carefree kissin' couples
Dream away all their troubles
'cause it's springtime, golden sunshine
While the bluebirds sing their magic song
We will love the summer long

All the winter we've been waitin'
Girl and I anticipatin'
What we're gonna do with summer overdue
Now it's here, we're out together
So the weatherman had better
Do his best to make a show
And bring the sunshine out to grow the

Green grass 'round my window
Young leaves that the wind blows
Yes, it's springtime, golden sunshine
While the bluebirds sing their magic song
We will love the summer long

We will love the summer long

We will love the summer long

Terca Noche


Terca Noche
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Alguna vez ocurre
que nunca amanece
y la noche se queda enganchada
a mi colchón
la increpo: ¡fuera, noche
desaparece!
y ella, impávida, sigue en sus trece
"¡quiero pasión!"
Y van pasando noches
por dentro y por fuera
y ella crece y se crece y engorda
como un balón...
Le pongo tres cerrojos
a la nevera
y me voy al sofá que me esperea
en el salón
Terca noche, terca noche
no me conviertas en un avestruz
terca noche, terca noche
deja que vea algún rayo de luz...
Y mi obsesiva amante
va y se desparrama...
y desborda la cama e inunda
todo el salón...
Y cuando me descubre
se me encarama
y su mano me viola y derrama
consolación...
Y así, noche tras noche
su espacio me escora
no me queda ni un metro cuadrado
salgo al balcón...
Y la noche de afuera
mira la hora...
y la noche de adentro devora
mi corazón
Terca noche, terca noche...

My Reason


My Reason
Composer(s): H. Banks; C. Chalkitis; S.S. Vlavianos
Performer(s): Demis Roussos



Musique
Musique

I sing to you ma jeune fille
a sense of main is deep in me
I hope you like the sound of my musique
I saw you pass by on the walk
ink in and find the words to talk
so I will turn my feelings on musique

I give you des chansons d'amour
from ancient worlds and old folklore
with memories and sound of my musique
Just walk beside me hand in hand
to my mediterranean land
listen to the voice of my musique

I saw you smile inside and clear my way
your eyes reflecting sunlight in my heart
you look so happy, girlfriend, and so gay
so closed to me and yet so far apart
I felt if I could take your hand
that you were dreamy, understand
the reason I sing ma chanson d'amour

Green Fields


Green Fields
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson; Richard Dehr; Frank Miller
Performer(s): The Brothers Four;
and various other artists



Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?

I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see

Still I'll keep on waiting until you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again

Tequila Sunrise


Tequila Sunrise
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world
still looks the same
Another frame, mm...

Huil maar niet, kleine Eva
Schat we moeten scheiden gaan
Ik zal jou nooit vergeten
Onze liefde blijft bestaan

Huil maar niet, kleine Eva
Want je tranen doen me pijn
Ik blijf altijd aan je denken
Tot ik weer bij jou zal zijn

Neem deze ring van mij
Die zal jou zeggen dat ik trouw zal zijn
Dat kleine souvenir
Vertelt, mijn hart blijft altijd hier

Huil maar niet, kleine Eva
Schat we moeten scheiden gaan
Nog een zoen, mijn kleine Eva
Onze liefde blijft bestaan

Huil maar niet, kleine Eva
Schat we moeten scheiden gaan
Nog een zoen, mijn kleine Eva

Schat we moeten scheiden gaan
Nog een zoen, mijn kleine Eva
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Nog een zoen mijn kleine Eva
Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Eva, Eva...

Green Eyes


Green Eyes ((Spanish Version: Aquellos Ojos Verdes (by Gloria Jean)) Composer(s): Nilo Menéndez - Eddie Rivera - Eddie Woods Performer(s): Jane Froman and multiple other artists



Well, Green Eyes with their soft lights
Your eyes that promise sweet nights
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes
A pool wherein my love lies
So deep that in my searching for happiness
I fear that they will ever haunt me
All through my life they'll taunt me
But will they ever want me?
Green Eyes, make my dreams come true

Well, Green Eyes with the soft lights
And eyes that promise sweet nights
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes
A pool wherein my love lies
So deep that in my searching for happiness
I fear that they will ever haunt me
All through my life they'll taunt me
But will they ever want me?
Green Eyes, I love you

Tequila Sheila


Tequila Sheila
Composer(s): Mac Davis - Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Bobby Bear; Bob Gibson



Pour me another tequila, Sheila
Take off that red satin dress.
'Cause I crossed the border
And I beat the dealer for all of that gold in Juarez
I feel just like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila
And I've got the pesos to spend
So pour me another tequila, Sheila
And lay down and love me again

No I can't tell you about it
Don't mind the gun by my bed
But I feel kind'a naked without it
And it eases the fears in my head
I never have trusted in woman
But Sheila I trust you tonight
So pass me the salt and a lemon
Bend down and blow out the light

Pour me another tequila, Sheila
Take off that red satin dress
'Cause I crossed the border
And I beat the dealer for all of that gold in Juarez
I feel just like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila
And I've got the pesos to spend
So pour me another tequila, Sheila
And lay down and love me again

Sheila I'm hearin' your heartbeat
But I'm hearing footsteps outside
The courtyard is crawlin' with them Federales
And Sheila, there's no place to hide
Now I don't know who could have tipped 'em
Nobody knew it but you
But I never have trusted the women
Sheila here's what I'm going to do
Yeah!

Pour me another tequila, Sheila
Take off that red satin dress
'Cause I crossed the border
And I beat the dealer for all of that gold in Juarez
I feel just like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila
And I've got the pesos to spend
So pour me another tequila, Sheila
And lay down and love me again

Pour me another tequila
I'm goin' ta put on your red satin dress
You put on my clothes
And you go out and face the dealer
And Sheila I wish you the best
I never trusted in women
Sheila I trusted you tonight
So pour me another tequila Sheila
And I'll run for the border again

Yeah! Pour me another tequilla, Sheila
As I ride for the border tonight

Kom Uit De Bedstee Mijn Liefste


Kom Uit De Bedstee Mijn Liefste
Composer(s): Peter Koelewijn; E. Andersen
Performer(s): Egbert Douwe



Kom uit de bedstee mijn liefste
Weet je niet je bent al veel te laat
Het hele dorp is al komen kijken
Naar de bruidegom die in zijn hemdje staat

Kom uit de bedstee mijn liefste
’t is vandaag toch onze huwelijksdag
De koster luid al uren lang de klokken
Hij zweet zich rot en de kippen zijn van slag

De kerk zit al een tijdje vol familie
De orgelist die speelt zijn vingers blauw
De kachel van de kerk is ook bezweken
En ieder zit te barsten van de kou

De misdienaartjes worden zo ballorig
Ik zag er eentje met een pijl en boog
Ze speelden indiaantje op de kansel
En je moeder kreeg een pijltje in der oog

Kom uit de bedstee mijn liefste
De hele zaak loopt vreselijk uit de hand
Voor een tientje gaven de getuigen
Een interviewtje aan de ochtendkrant

De taxi-jongens wilden geld van vader
Ze gingen want de bruid kwam niet in zicht
Uiteindelijk is alles nog geregeld
Alleen zit vaders rechteroog nu dicht

De koster zei heel hijgend onder 't luiden
Waar blijft ze nou zo gaat toch alles mis
De zaak moet rond zijn over tien minuten
Want buiten wacht weer een begrafenis

Kom uit de bedstee mijn liefste
We hebben nu al lang genoeg gewacht
Er komt nog tijd genoeg om uit te slapen
Want na vandaag komt er een lange nacht

Kom uit de bedstee mijn liefste
