Tus Regalos Deberían De Llegar


Tus Regalos Deberían De Llegar
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Epifánico silencio a la hora del amar
tus ensueños ya se hicieron a la mar
un extracto del perfume del dolor
tus muñecas boca arriba y hacia el sol
tus regalos deberían de llegar
los elefantas locos, el vestido, el ajuar
caminando en la neblina
que disipa el corazón
los milagros en tu cuerpo ya serán
las violetas de tu sangre vivirán
sobre un río enamorado y en su andar

Tus regalos deberían de llegar
las velas, las vajillas y tu felicidad
y no sabes si detenerte o llover
y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
tu sonrisa que nos hace pensar
tiembla el mundo que no entiende al final
ese beso de la vida
la sutil melancolía
el momento cuando piras
los espacios donde miras
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
y otra vez en la secuencia
de los pétalos que caen
se descubren los misterios del azar
y las manos que se encuentran en la flor
la bestial naturaleza del amor
tus regalos deberían de llegar
si todo se termina
todo vuelve a empezar
la mañana que se viene
es una vieja sensación
que refleja los espejos del tiempo
y la niña acurrucada en el rincón
es la chica contra la furia de Dios
tus regalos deberían de llegar
no es mucho lo que tengo para darte, mira

Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
tiembla el mundo
que no entiende al final
ese beso de la vida
la sutil melancolía
el momento cuando piras
los espacios donde miras
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
y tus regalos deberían de llegar
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran

I Wish It Would Rain


I Wish It Would Rain
Composer(s): Roger Penzabene; Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
First release by: The Temptations - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
(Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain
I just wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby
Let it rain.
(Let it rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain

Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby

Let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain
Oh, yeah, yeah listen
I'm a man and I got my pride
Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside
Let it rain

(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

Knocking 'Round The Zoo


Knocking 'Round The Zoo
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor



Just knocking around the zoo
on a Thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows
and they're counting up the spoons
And if I'm feeling edgy
there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle
if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave

Now the keeper's trying to cool me says I'm bound to be alright
But I know that he can't fool me 'cause I'm putting him uptight
And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move
And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room

Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
'Cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the night

Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave

Tus Lágrimas


Tus Lágrimas
Composer(s): Cordova - José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; La Sonora Dinamita; Karu Nan



Tus lágrimas
o las pago con lágrimas
o mejor no las pago
si tú lloraste por mí
yo he de llorar por tí
o ver lo que hago

Mi corazón
está sembrado en una tierra
donde crecen puros desengaños
tú empiezas a vivir
no sabes elegir
yo tengo muchos años

Pero tu edad
no sabe del dolor
no te vas a encontrar
más adelante

Pero tu edad
tampoco va a saber
del eterno querer
que yo te canté

Por eso quiero
pagar con lágrimas tus lágrimas
y llorar por tu amor
como lloraste tu valientemente

Here is what I dream I'd like to be

Knock-Kneed Napua


Knock-Kneed Napua
Composer(s): Prince Kawohi; Steve Graham
Performer(s): Prince Kawohi



They call her knock-kneed Napua from Kailua
She's the talk of Lanikai
When she does the hula over in Kailua
You can hear them cheer in Molokai

She dances on the sands
And her hula hands just seem to say
Hold on to your kane and don't let him go
Or I might steal him away

So one day knock-kneed Napua from Kailua
Took a trip to Waikiki
Television beckoned, "This is it," she reckoned,
"Here's my chance to dance on TV"

She shook and rolled her eyes
Then they realized their big mistake
She ami'd here and she ami'd there
Ev'ry camera quivered and quaked

So they said "knock-kneed Napua from Kailua
Go back to dear old Lanikai
Then you can do your hula over in Kailua"
Underneath the blue Hawaiian sky
Underneath the blue Hawaiian sky

Ah, I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man, no good, no

He said he'd give me everything in sight
Once had a daddy

So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine
You take the stars out of the night
Come on and give 'em to me, babe, 'cause I want 'em right now"

Won't you invite me along, please
Oh, I'll be so good to ya babe, yeah!

I guess I'm just like a turtle
That's hidin' underneath its horny shell
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hard-ass shell
But you know I'm very well protected
I know this goddamn life too well

Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah
I've been called much worser things around
Honey, don't ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
I've been called much worser things, all things around
Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah
Honey, ain't no one gonna dog me down
Alright, yeah

I Wish I Weren't In Love


I Wish I Weren't In Love
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Jerry Landis (aka Paul Simon)



I've got a problem
The girl I love doesn't love me at all
In fact she won't even answer my call
I wish I weren't in love

I can't do my homework
I write her name on my notebook all night
The way she treats me, it just isn't right
I wish I weren't in love

What can I do, what can I say
How can I make her stop, hurting me this way
I'm so unhappy, you just don't know
Oh, how I love that girl
Guess I'm the loneliest boy in this world
I wish I weren't in love

Knokke-Le-Zoute


Knokke-Le-Zoute
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Les soirs où je suis argentin
Je m'offre quelques argentines
Quite à cueillir dans les vitrines
Des jolis quartiers d'Amsterdam
Des lianes qui auraient ce teint de femme
Qu'exporte vos cités latines
Ces soirs-là je les veux félines
Avec un rien de brillantine
Collé aux cheveux de la langue
Elles seraient fraiches comme des mangues
Et compenseraient leur maladresse
À coups de poitrine et de fesses

Ah mais ce soir
Y a pas d'argentines
Y a pas d'espoir
Y a pas de doute
Non ce soir
Il pleut sur Knokke-le-Zoute
Ce soir comme tous les soirs
Je me rentre chez moi
Le cœur en déroute
Et la bitte sous l'bras

Les jours où je suis espagnol
Petites fesses grande bagnole
Elles passent toutes à la casserole
Quite à pourchasser dans Hambourg
Des carmencitas de faubourg
Qui nous reviennent de vérole
Je me les veux fraiches et joyeuses
Bonnes travailleuse sans parlotes
Mi andalouses mi anguleuses
De ces femelles qu'on gestapote
Parce qu'elles ne savent pas encore
Que Franco est tout à fait mort

Mais ce soir
Y a pas d'espagnoles
Y a pas de casseroles
Y pas de doute
Non ce soir
Il pleut sur Knokke-le-Zoute
Ce soir comme tous les soirs
Je me rentre chez moi
Le cœur en déroute
Et la bitte sous l'bras

Les soirs depuis Caracas
Je panama je partaguasse
Je suis l'plus beau
Je pars en chasse
Je glisse de palace en palace
Pour y dénicher le gros lot
Qui n'attend que mon coup de grâce
Je la veux folle comme un travelo
Découverte de vieux rideaux
Mais cependant "dévanescente"
Elle m'attendrait depuis toujours
Cerclée de serpents et de plantes
Parmi les livres de Dufour

Mais ce soir
Y a pas de Caracas
Y a pas de dévanescentes
Y a pas de doute
Mais ce soir
Il pleut sur Knokke-le-Zoute
Ce soir comme tous les soirs
Je me rentre chez moi
Le cœur en déroute
Et la bitte sous l'bras

Demain oui
Peut être que ...
Peut être que demain je serai argentin ... oui
Je m'offrai des argentines
Quite à cueillir dans les vitrines
Des jolis quartiers d'Amsterdam
Des lianes qui auraient ce teint de femme
Qu'exporte vos cités latines
Demain je les voudrai félines
Avec ce rien de brillantine
Collé aux cheveux de la langue
Elles seront fraiches comme des mangues
Et compenseront leur maladresse
À coups de poitrine et de fesses

Demain je serai espagnol
Petites fesses grande bagnole
Elles passeront toutes à la casserole
Quite à pourchasser dans Hambourg
Des Carmencitas de faubourg
Qui nous reviendront de vérole
Je les voudrai fraiches et joyeuses
Bonnes travailleuses sans parlotes
Mi andalouses mi anguleuses
De ces femelles qu'on gestapote
Parce qu'elles ne savent pas encore
Que Franco est tout à fait mort

Les soirs depuis Caracas

Turquoise


Turquoise
Composer(s): Donovan
First release: Donovan - 1965



Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing
And the leaves dance and play after you
Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower
Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass

Your eyes feel like silence resting on me
And the birds cease to sing when you rise
Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted
Take care how you ride, my precious, you might fall down

In the pastel skies a sunset I have wondered
With my eyes and ears and heart stained to the full
I know I tasted the essence in the few days
Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know

I Wish I Were In Love Again


I Wish I Were In Love Again
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Grace McDonald & Rolly Pickert - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punched - drunk

The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again

The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: "I love you - 'til the day I day"
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heals
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care - no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be punch-drunk

Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - of a him and her
I don't like quiet - and I wish I were
In love again - in love again - in love again

Knots

Phil Shulman; Raymond Shulman
Performer(s): Gentle Giant; Steel Wind



All in all each man in all men
All men in each man
He can see she can't, she can see
she can
see whatever, whatever
You may know what I don't know
but not that
I don't know it and I can't tell you
so you will
To tell me all man in all men
All men in each man
He can see she can't, she can see
she can
see whatever, whatever
You may know what I don't know
but not that
I don't know it and I can't tell you
so you will have to tell me all
It hurts him to think that she is
hurting her by him being hurt to think
that she thinks he is hurt by making her
feel guilty at hurting him by her thinking
she wants him to want her
Her wants her to
want him to get him to want him to get
him to want her she pretends
He tries to make her afraid by not
being afraid
You may know what I don't know, but not
that I don't know it and I can't
tell you so you will have to tell
me all
I get what I deserve
I deserve what I get
I have it so I deserve it
I deserve it for I have it
I get what I deserve
What I deserve - what I deserve what I get
I have it so I deserve
He tries to make her afraid by not being afraid

Turning Away


Turning Away
Composer(s): Tim Krekel
First release: Crystal Gayle - 1984



None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because your turning away
Turning away from love

Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your heart's become jagged
And you're turning away
Turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But you're turning away
Turning away from love

Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
You're turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
You're turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love

Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
You're turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
You're turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But you're turning away
Turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
No, no, no turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love...

I Wish I Were A Princess


I Wish I Were A Princess
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore; Hugo Peretti; George David Weiss
Performer(s): Little Peggy March; Sara Hickman



I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince

I wish I were a princess
so beautiful to see
I'd pass the greatest law in history
A lovely little law
that I hope you'll never break
and it would make you fall in love with me

And if I were a princess
the next thing I would do
is plan a celebration in the land
Oh, what a happy day
when the people hear you say,
"My princess, I'm asking for your hand!"

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I'd have you sit beside me
so handsome, so bold
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince
Oh, we'd live happily ever after
as in days of old

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I'd have you sit beside me
so handsome, so bold
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince
Oh, we'd live happily ever after
as in days of old!

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess

Yes, I wish...

Know By Now


Know By Now
Composer(s): Robert Palmer
Performer(s): Robert Palmer



You ought to know by now

Baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we hoped
Little did we know

Darling all the time we spent
Ignoring all the consequences
And hiding from big evidence
Hoping things would change

But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day
Keeping me alive till your rescue came

Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

Wishful thinking spent in vain
What to loose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain seemed to come away
And baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we spoke
Little did we know
But the hope was there
like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility to the only way
Love can conquer all
And its here to stay

Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now

I Wish I Was In Glasgow


I Wish I Was In Glasgow
Composer(s): Billy Connolly
Performer(s): Iain MacKintosh



Oh I wish I was in Glasgow
With some good old friends of mine
Some good old rough companions
And some good old smooth red wine
We could talk about the old days
And the old town's sad decline
And drink to the boys on the road

Oh I was born in Glasgow
Near the center of the town
I would take you there and show you
But they've torn the building down
And when I think about it
It always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

My granny was a cleaner
My grandad drove a tram
My father an engineer
Made me all I am
They have seen the city come and go
Still they give a damn
There's so much to learn along the road

And Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

Know One Knows

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel

Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel

Keep it moving, keep it bright
And guide me with your body light
Come in closer with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly

[Mika's Japanese cooing over guitar solo (Pete Ham):
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it show

No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it flow]

Keep on feeling, keep it whole
And lead me with your body soul
Take me higher with each sigh
Knowing you can make me fly

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

Turn Your Love Around


Turn Your Love Around
Composer(s): Bill Champlin - Jay Graydon - Steve Lukather
Performer(s): George Benson



You've got the love
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love

I'm trying to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love

I remember
When you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
Away
When all I need's a taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
All they get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Oh girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
We're gonna take it
Back where we belong

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how...

I Wish I Was Eighteen Again


I Wish I Was Eighteen Again
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
and multiple other artists



At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in
And I thought he was out of his his head
Just being a young man, I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said

He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
Or go running off into the wind
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
And I wish I was eighteen again

I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again

Now time turns the pages and oh, life goes so fast
The years turn the black hair all grey
I talked to some young folks, hey they don't understand
The words this old man's got to say

I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again

Lord, I wish I was eighteen again!
