God Blessed America For Me


God Blessed America For Me
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie



This land is your land, this land is my land
From the Californias to the Staten Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
God blessed America for me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And saw above me that endless skyway
And saw below me the golden valley, I said
God blessed America for me

I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me, a voice was sounding
God blessed America for me

Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: Private Property
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
God blessed America for me

When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
God blessed America for me

One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the Relief Office I saw my people
As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if
God blessed America for me

Tant D'amour


Tant D'amour
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc; Anne Clark



Là, c'était la fenêtre
Où ell' se faisait prendre
Avec son air d'attendre
Un autre paysage

La moitié du visage
Comme à l'ombre d'ell' même
L'autr' ne laissant paraître
Qu'une pâleur extrêm

... Là le jardin d'hiver
Où j'aimais qu'elle danse
Sans musique, au contraire
Son corps dans le silence

Là c'était la terrasse
Et là... c'était la chambre
Où un soir de septembre
Ell' me quitte à voix basse...

Tant d'amour
Tant d'amour
Un jour le cœur se casse
Et c'est en un instant

Là le jardin superbe
Où je l'entendais rire
Et là les hautes herbes
Où je la vois courir

Là-bas, c'était son arbre
Le jeune et beau qui tremble
Mais la première alarme
C'est ailleurs, il me semble

... On prenait ce couloir
Voyageurs dans le noir
Quand sa petite main
Habitait dans ma main

Et là c'était ce lit
Où se levait le jour
Ici elle faisait
Et défaisait l'amour...

Tant d'amour
Tant d'amour
Un jour le cœur se casse
Et c'est en un instant

Nos pas perdent leurs traces
Les miroirs se glacent

Tant d'amour
Et déjà
... Cette couleur d'ivoire
Que le temps donne au temps...

Muchacha bonita, bonita bonita
con todas las fuerzas que tengo en el alma
con toda mi vida te voy a adorar

Por eso te quiero

God Bless The U.S.A.


God Bless The U.S.A.
Composer(s): Lee Greenwood
Performer(s): Lee Greenwood



If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife

I'd thank my lucky stars
to be livin here today
`Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
`Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart
and its time we stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
`Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

And I'm proud to be and American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
`Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

Tankas


Tankas
Composer(s): Jorge Luis Borges - Pedro Aznar
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar; Jorge Luis Borges



Alto en la cumbre
Todo el jardín es luna
Luna de oro
Más precioso es el roce
De tu boca en la sombra

La voz del ave
Que la penumbra esconde
Ha enmudecido
Andas por tu jardín
Algo, lo sé, te falta

La ajena copa
La espada que fue espada
En otra mano
La luna de la calle
¿Dime, acaso no bastan?

Bajo la luna
El tigre de oro y sombra
Mira sus garras
No sabe que en el alba
Han destrozado un hombre

Triste la lluvia
Que sobre el mármol cae
Triste ser tierra
Triste no ser los días
Del hombre, el sueño, el alba

No haber caído
Como otros de mi sangre
En la batalla
Ser en la vana noche
El que cuenta las sílabas

Muchacha Bonita (Javier Solís)


Muchacha Bonita
Composer(s): Aramando Manzanero; Mario Molina Montes
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Muchacha bonita acabas tu vida
esperando al hombre que te haga feliz
Tu cara de rosa se torna marchita
y a través del tiempo tu pelo es más gris

Muchacha bonita de anhelos eternos
mil noches de luna te han visto tejer
el blanco vestido y el velo de novia
que nunca en la vida te habrás de poner

Muchacha bonita de anhelos eternos
mil noches de luna te han visto tejer
el blanco vestido y el velo de novia
que nunca en la vida te habrás de poner

God Bless The Child


God Bless The Child
Composer(s): Arthur Herzog Jr.; Billie Holiday
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
(Repeat)

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own
Yes he's got his own

Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - Harold Spiro - Valerie Avon

Tänk va' skönt att vakna upp en söndagmorgon
Och att känna sommarns vind
Att få väcka dig och viska ett god morgon
Och att röra vid din kind

Tänk va' skönt att gå till sängs och kunna sova
Och att bara vara din
Att få glädjas åt vår underbara gåva
Jag är din och du är min

Allt som var kallt och allt som var grått
Förändrades när du kom
Och blev till soliga dar, härliga dar
Jag älskar dig du är så underbar

Tänk va' skönt att vakna upp en söndagmorgon
Och att känna sommarns vind
Att få väcka dig och viska ett god morgon
Och att röra vid din kind

Och att bara vara din
Att få glädjas åt vår underbara gåva
Jag är din och du är min

Allt som var kallt och allt som var grått
Förändrades när du kom
Och blev till soliga dar, härliga dar
Jag älskar dig du är så underbar

Så skönt att vakna upp
När du är här
Att få ha dig intill
Och att röra vid din kind

Tänk va' skönt att gå till sängs och kunna sova
Och att bara vara din
Att få glädjas åt vår underbara gåva
Jag är din och du är min

Så skönt att gå till sängs
När du är här...

Come a little closer, then a little closer
Don't go way my little mu-cha-cha
The dance is through, cha cha

Now, cha cha, let's have some chow, cha cha
He:
Then, cha cha, we'll dance again, cha cha
She:
Closer and closer
He:
And closer and

Tania
Performer(s): John Rowles



Tania our song will go on forever
sweet Tania my song is for you
The shadows they fade into yesterday
my girl I see her smiling there
I turn back the years that we live again
the moments when we had our love song to share

Tania our song will go on forever
just like a clear sky of blue
Tania our hearts make music together
sweet Tania my song is for you

We stand hand in hand on the silver shore
tomorrow my ship sails away
I fly with the summer wind, so wild and free
please wait for me and soon we will be together again

Tania our song will go on forever
just like a clear sky of blue
Tania our hearts make music together
sweet Tania my song is for you
Tania our song will go on forever
sweet Tania my song is for you

Composer(s): Frank Zappa

I got a girl with a little rubber head
Rinse her out every night just before I go to bed
She never talk back like a lady might do
An' she looks like she loves it every time I get through

And her name is
P-i-n-k-y
P-i-n, no lie
K-y, me-oh-my
She's $69.95
Give her a try

P-i-n-k-y
P-i-n, I cry
K-y don't be shy
$69.95, boy
Give her a try

Her eyes is all shut in an ecstasy face
You can cram it down her throat, people, any old place
Throw the little switch on her battery pack
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back

And her name is P-i-n-k-y
P-i-n, I cry
K-y, don't be shy

You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back

God


God
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon



God is a concept
By which we can measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we can measure
Our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
The dream is over

Tango Italiano


Tango Italiano
Performer(s): Caterina Valente



Lalalila...

De tango Italiano
De mooiste tango
Klonk heel zacht op een maanlichte nacht
Aan het meer van Lugano
Die tango Italiano
Speelt door mijn dromen
Want daardoor is het liefdesgeluk
In mijn leven gekomen
Dit lied heeft toen op die nacht
Onverwacht ja met mij de zorg gebracht
Ik heb na die keer telkens weer
Dag en nacht slechts aan jou nog net gedacht

De tango Italiano
De mooiste tango
Heeft mijn wens in vervulling doen gaan
Ik wil met jou nu het leven voortaan
Dat heeft alles die tango gedaan
Tango Italiano

Par le boulevard Ghan-Ghis-Khan
Vers la cité mandarine
Est passé dans New-Beijing
À bord d'une flying-o-Nine
Une ombre en qui l'on devine
Troublante et longue et divine

Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, money woman, wan shang hao, come in...
Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, devil woman, ni-hao, get in

Vous bénirez votre sort
De n'être pas la victime
De son fascinant holding
Le parfum des dragons d'or
Et les passions clandestines
Sont à l'honneur du standing

De Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, money woman, wan shang hao, come in...
De Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, evil woman, ni-hao, get in

Elle ne laissera dans le ciel
Dessous la lune sanguine
Que son image assassine
Cent mille étoiles en pixels
D'une vidéo-mangazine
Qui tourne au long des buildings

Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, money woman, wan shang hao, come in...
Mrs. Wan, Suzy-lee-wan, devil woman, ni-hao, get in

Tango Do Covil


Tango Do Covil
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Garganta Profunda



Ai, quem me dera ser cantor
Quem dera ser tenor
Quem sabe ter a voz
Igual aos rouxinóis
Igual ao trovador
Que canta os arrebóis
Pra te dizer gentil
Bem-vinda
Deixa eu cantar tua beleza
Tu és a mais linda princesa
Aqui deste covil

Ai, quem me dera ser doutor
Formado em Salvador
Ter um diploma, anel
E voz de bacharel
Fazer em teu louvor
Discursos a granel
Pra te dizer gentil
Bem-vinda
Tu és a dama mais formosa
E, ouso dizer, a mais gostosa
Aqui deste covil

Ai, quem me dera ser garçom
Ter um sapato bom
Quem sabe até talvez
Ser um garçom francês
Falar de champinhom
Falar de molho inglês
Pra te dizer gentil
Bem-vinda
És tão graciosa e tão miúda
Tu és a dama mais tesuda
Aqui deste covil

Ai, quem me dera ser Gardel
Tenor e bacharel
Francês e rouxinol
Doutor em champinhom
Garçom em Salvador
E locutor de futebol
Pra te dizer febril
Bem-vinda
Tua beleza é quase um crime
Tu és a bunda mais sublime
Aqui deste covil

Mrs. Thursday


Mrs. Thursday
Composer(s): Davies; Dymond; Harman
Performer(s): Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich



Shall I return at six o'clock as usual my lady?
Yes James, that would be lovely

Mrs. Thursday came to tea at the same locality
as she did last week, and the week before
There was a band who were grand on the stand playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Have you heard that misses Payne is expecting once again
How man' is that now?
I think it's seven
Seven? Seven?
And the band who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
And the band who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Who's that knockin at the door?
It's the reverend of the law, he's late as usual, but just in time
to hear the band who were grand on the stand, keep on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Tea and cottage on the lawn, Mrs. Thurday gives a yawn and thinks sadly
It's time to go but the band who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Talked and talked and talked ...

Go, Mississippi

States may sing their songs of praise
With waving flags and hip-hoo-rays
Let cymbals crash and let bells ring
'Cause here's one song I'm proud to sing

Go, Mississippi, keep rolling along

Go, Mississippi, we're singing your song
M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i

Go, Mississippi, and this is a fact
Go, Mississippi, you'll never look back

Go, Mississippi, ev'rything's fine

Go, Mississippi, let the world know
That our Mississippi is leading the show

Tango Delle Rose


Tango Delle Rose
Composer(s): Aldo Bottero - Carol Raven - Filippo Schreier
Performer(s): Connie Francis
and multiple other artists



Là, là tra le rose e i fior
l'idillio incominciò
e furon baci
carezze audaci
poi le follie della passion
"T'amo", ella sussurra
e un bacio ardente la fa tremar
Ed al suo dolce amor
sussurra ognor così

"Amami! Baciami con passione!
Prendimi! Stringimi con ardor!
Coglimi! La mia vita è come un fiore
presto fiorisce e presto muore
E'sol per te il mio cuor!"

Ma, ma venne un triste dì
e il loro amor finì
come una rosa
dal gelo uccisa
la sua bellezza presto sfiorì
Folle, nel giardin di rose
si strugge invano nel suo dolor
Piange e come allor
canta al perduto amor

"Amami! Baciami con passione!
Prendimi! Stringimi con ardor!
Coglimi! La mia vita è come un fiore
presto fiorisce e presto muore
E'sol per te il mio cuor!"
