Grazing In The Grass


Grazing In The Grass
Composer(s): Harry Elston; Philemon Hou
Performer(s): The Friends Of Distinction;
and various other artists



Sure is mellow grazin' in the grass
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
There are too many groovy things to see while grazin' in the grass
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
Flowers with colours for takin', everything outta sight
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)

The sun peekin' out between the leaves
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?

The sun peekin' out between the leaves
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees
(grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
(repeat and fade)

Tengo Sed


Tengo Sed
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



"Tengo sed"
te oí decir con el aliento
apenas
Y te arrullé, como a un recién nacido
contra mis pechos ávidos
de labios tuyos
Te dí de beber
Y luego de saciarte, volviste
a repetir
"tengo sed"
sin aliento
apenas
Te arrullé, esta vez
entre mis muslos
y de nuevo
te di de beber
En la fuente de la vida
y de la muerte, sellaste
con un beso
el último suspiro

My Own


My Own
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin
and various other artists



My own, let me call you my own
Let me make you a part of the song in my heart
Alone, I’m just living in vain
Everything that I do is depending on you
Show me your sign of your longing for me
Say you are mine, and forever that you will be
My own, every dream I have known
Has been built of but one desire
Just to call you my own

Show me your sign of your longing for me
Say you are mine, and forever that you will be
My own, every dream I have known
Has been built of but one desire
Just to call you my own

Show me your sign of your longing for me
Say you are mine, and forever that you will be
My own, every dream I have known
Has been built of but one desire
Just to call you my own

Grazie, Prego, Scusi


Grazie, Prego, Scusi
Composer(s): Calabrese; Massara; Mogol
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



Al matinèe
del giovedì
ballo liscio
al Garden Blu
con l'orchestra Serenade
Spengono le luci
tacciono le voci
e nel buio senti sussurrar

Prego:
vuoi ballare con me?...
Grazie,
preferisco di no:
non ballo il tango col casquè
perciò...
grazie.
Prego, grazie, scusi...
tornerò

Al matinèe
del Garden Blu
richii premi
e cotillons,
fascia d'oro per la Miss
Spengono le luci
tacciono le voci
e nel buio senti sussurrar...

Non ballo il tango col casquè
perciò...
grazie.
Prego, grazie, scusi...
tornerò!

Aldrig Mer


Aldrig Mer
((Adapted from: Che Sarà (Ricchi E Poveri) - 1971))
((French Version: Qui Saura (Mike Brant) - 1972))
Composer(s): Jimmy Fontana - Nicola Greco - Franco Migliacci - Carlo Pes - Stig Anderson
Performer(s): Hootenanny Singers - 1971



Så lämnar jag den by som sett mej födas
snart sover den en evig törnrossömn
Ty borta är dess ungdom, blott de gamla lever kvar
i denna bygd som en gång blomstrat har

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer!
Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker
Aldrig mer hörs skratt från ängen
glada röster - Ingenting
Mörk och dyster ruvar skogen runtomkring

Här sprang det nakna barn i sommarns dagar
och klövern stod så saftig och så grön
Vi badade i viken och det hördes glada skratt
från ungdom i den ljusa sommarnatt

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer!
Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker
När de gamlas röster tystnat
då är stillheten total
Skulle någon minnas sen en öde dal?

Man måste alltid gå i takt med tiden
dum vore jag att ensam spjärna mot
Men ändå känns det som jag svikit någon gammal vän
Farväl, vi kanske aldrig ses igen

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer, aldrig mer!
Det finns ingen som kan ändra det som sker
Det finns ingen plats för tårar
ingen anledning till gråt
Det är ändå ingenting att göra åt

My Oriental Girl


My Oriental Girl
Composer(s): Edward Beck; Milton E. Schwarzwald



Far off where the lonely caravan winds on its way
In that distant land
Proud Sheik dreaming of his sweetheart who is waiting there
Far o'er the desert sands
He'll forget the deserts whirl
When he meets his Oriental Girl My

Night winds seem to whisper of his love so far away
Stars remind him of her eyes
Still he knows to meet her he must journey night and day
And that is why he sighs
But tho' deserts may be wide
Soon he'll see his Oriental Bride My

Oriental Girl Oriental Girl
A face that's so entrancing
And eyes with fire dancing
A form that keeps you glancing all the while
O'er the desert wide
Come to my side
Let me protect you
So no one will get you
Be my Oriental Bride

Grazie Roma


Grazie Roma
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti



Dimmi cos'è
che ci fa sentire amici anche se non ci conosciamo
dimmi cos'è
che ci fa sentire uniti anche se siamo lontani
dimmi cos'è cos'è
che batte forte forte forte in fondo al cuore
che ci toglie il respiro e ci parla d'amore
Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora
Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora
una persona nuova
Dimmi cos'è cos'è
quella stella grande grande in fondo al cielo
che brilla dentro di te e grida forte forte dal tuo cuore
Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora
Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora
una persona nuova
Dimmi chi è
che me fa sentì 'mportante anche se nun conto niente
che me fa Re quando sento le campane la domenica mattina
Dimmi che è chi è
che me fa campà sta vita così piena de problemi
e che me da coraggio se tu non me voi bene
Grazie Roma che ci fai piangere abbracciati ancora
Grazie Roma, grazie Roma che ci fai vivere e sentire ancora
una persona nuova

Tengo Que Parar


Tengo Que Parar
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



(Me encanta cantar este tema)
Como un estúpido bajo la lluvia
corriendo taxis sin saber qué hacer
nadie tiene fuego, ni siquiera un cospel
Necesito hacer esa llamada
necesito un poco de control
La cosa viene mal, la tengo que parar

Tengo que parar, tengo que parar
¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!

Alguien me sigue, doy vuelta en la esquina
hay sueños que no puedo borrar
veo un negrito con un diccionario
que le cura las heridas
con la lengua a un millonario
Veo misiles en la 9 de Julio
apuntándole a mi oso peluche
Lo veo a Reagan, Jimi Hendrix y Evita
en una mesa del Sheraton
deshojando margaritas

Tengo que parar, tengo que parar
¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!

Uno, dos y tres; uno, dos y tres
desnudo en el espejo
me miro una vez, me miro otra vez
y no descubro nunca quién es
¿Quién soy? ¿Quién es? ¿Quién soy? ¿Quizás?

Me desperté con la TV al mango
sin cigarrillos, ni pastillas, ni alcohol
quiero café con leche
nena no me eches

Esta noche incendiaré mi auto
tendrás que darme refugio
nadie sabrá dónde estamos
será señal que paramos

Tengo que parar, tengo que parar
¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que! ¡Tengo que parar!

Todo va mejor, todo va mejor
con un poco de amor
todo va mejor, todo va mejor
con un poquito así, así de amor
Amor...! amor...!
I love you...
Ti voglio bene...
Je t'aime...
Amor...!
I love you... oh! oh!
She loves you ¡Yea, yea, yea!
All you need is love

Tengo que parar
y tengo que empezarte a amar

Grazie Perché


Grazie Perché
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti;
Marc Giacomelli; Bob Seger
Performer(s): Gianni Morandi



Grazie perché
mi eri vicina
ancora prima di essere mia
e perché vuoi
un uomo amico
non uno scudo
vicino a te
grazie che vai
per la tua strada
piena di sassi come la mia
grazie perché
anche lontano
tendo la mano
e trovo la tua
Io come te
vivo confusa
favole rosa...
non chiedo più
Grazie perché
mi hai fatto sentire
che posso anch'io volare
senza di te
io mi riposo
dentro i tuoi occhi
io coi tuoi occhi
vedo di più
grazie perché
anche lontano
tendo la mano
e trovo la tua
con te ogni volta
e' la prima volta
non ho paura vicino a te
Grazie perché
non siamo soli
non siamo soli
grazie perché
vivere ancora
non fa paura
solo con te
grazie perché
oh oh oh oh
anche lontano...
tendo la mano
e trovo la tua
tendo la mano
e tu ci sei...

Performer(s): Emmanuel
and multiple other artists



Enséñame, enséñame
A ser feliz como lo eres tú
A dar amor como me lo das tú
A perdonar como perdonas tú
Sin recordar el daño nunca más, nunca más
Anda, enséñame, enséñame
A consolar como consuelas tú
A confiar como confías tú
A repartir sonrisas como tú
Sin esperar a cambio nada más, nada más
Tengo mucho que aprender de ti, amor
Tengo mucho que aprender de ti, amor
Tu dulzura y fortaleza, tu manera de entregarte
Tu tesón por conquistarme cada día
Tengo mucho que aprender de ti, amor
Tengo mucho que aprender de ti, amor
Como olvidas los enfados
Como cumples las promesas
Como guías nuestros pasos cada día
Enséñame, enséñame
A no mentir como no mientes tú
A no envidiar como no envidias tú
A ahogar las penas como lo haces tú
A compartir la dicha como tú, al igual que tú

My One And Only Love


My One And Only Love
Composer(s): Robert Mellin; Guy Wood
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you’re in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my aching heart with such desire
Every kiss sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

Gray Morn


Gray Morn
Composer(s): George O'Neil;
J. Morris Ward; Clinton Standish



Slowly the shadows fail
slowly a silver veil floats above the hills and a robin trills

Lighter the heaven glows
brighter the morning's rose thru'
the failing gloom trembles into bloom

Gray morn has come and the sun is ascending but in the robin's
song of glad notes, sad notes blending, tell of a longing, and
hope never ending echo my heart that is still, Gray Morn

Tengo Miedo De Volver


Tengo Miedo De Volver
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Su sensación, su calidez
su corazón, mi palidez
Sólo una vez se puede amar
como esa vez
Sólo una vez, cerca del mar

Su sensación, mi soledad
su corazón, mi vanidad
No sé qué fue, no sé
lo que pasó
ahora yo vuelvo a ese lugar
con temor
de no sentirte una vez más
una vez más, cerca del mar
una vez más
Tal vez, pueda entender
que nuestro amor, fue sólo el mar

La sensación al regresar
Ese temor de no encontrar
su corazón, su voz, su claridad
un beso suyo junto al mar
Su sensación, su calidez
su corazón, mi palidez
No sé qué fue, no sé, lo que pasó
ahora yo vuelvo a ese lugar
con temor
de no sentirte una vez más
una vez más, cerca del mar
una vez más
Tal vez pueda entender
que nuestro amor
fue sólo el mar

My One And Only Highland Fling


My One And Only Highland Fling
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
and various other artists



Fred:
Though we're called a people of serious mind
'Tis often we dance, 'tis often we sing

Ginger:
And bein' as human as all human-kind
We arrren't superior to havin' a fling

Fred:
I'm taking the fling of a lifetime

Ginger:
The fling of a husband and wife-time

Fred:
A-when I a-went rrromancing
I a-gave no thought to any wedding rrring
Every bonnie lassie was
My highland fling

A-no chance was I chancing
I' a-m not the man ya dangle on a strrring
I was canny waitin' for the
Rrreal, rrreal thing

A-though I danced each girrrl in a twist and a-twirrrl
Ney one would do
And I went a-my way 'til the fatal day
In the fling I was flung a-with you
Ohhhh....

Now my hearrrt is prancin'
A-gay as a larrrk and happy as a king
The yearrrs I'll weatherrr, in the hame on the heatherrr
With my one and only highland fling

I thought you werrre fallin' for Andy MacPherson

Ginger:
Ney, ney. He became an impossible person
But what about you and that Connie MacKenzie?

Fred:
She talked when I putted and drrrove me to frenzie
But what of the lad known as Bobby MacDougal?

Ginger:
It pays to be thrifty, but he was too frugal
And werrren't ya daft about Megan McDerrmot?

Fred:
I tasted her cooking
T'would make me a hermit
How jealous I was of McDonald McCutcheon

Ginger:
His neck had a head on, but therrre wasn't much in

Fred:
And what about Sandy?

Ginger:
His hands were too handy
And wasn't therrre a Jenny?

Fred:
I'm not wantin' any...
I'm not wantin' any but you

Ginger:
When I went a-dancin'
No special lad I was encourrragin'
Every lackly laddie was
My highland fling

No glance I was glancin'
Well, nothin' rrreally worth a-mentionin'
Hopin', watchin', waitin' for the
Rrreal, rrreal thing

Though they spoke me soft in the moonlit oft'
Ney one would do
'Til it came to pass to this lucky lass
In a fling I was flung with you
Ohhh....

Now my hearrrt is prrrancin'
Nothin' about ya I'd be alterin'
The yearrrs I'll weatherrr, in the hame on the heatherrr
With me one and only highland fling

Gravy Waltz


Gravy Waltz
Composer(s): Ray Brown; Steve Allen
Performer(s): Joe Williams;
and various other artists



Pretty mamma’s in the kitchen this glorious day
Smell the gravy simmerin’ nearly half a mile away
Lady morning glory, I say good morning to you
Chirpy little chickadee told me that my baby was true

Well, she really ran to get her frying pan
When she saw me coming
Gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
This honeybee’s humming
Mister Weeping Willow, I’m through with all of my faults
‘cause my baby’s ready to do the ever new gravy waltz

Well, she really ran to get her frying pan
When she saw me coming
I’m gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
This honeybee’s humming
Mister Weeping Willow, I’m through with all of my faults
‘cause my baby’s ready to do the ever new gravy waltz

Mr Weeping Willow, I’m through with all of my faults
‘cause my baby is ready to do the ever new gravy
Mmm, nice gravy dear, waltz

Tengo Los Pies De Viento
Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Tengo los pies de viento
y el corazón de cielo
para andar los caminos
por donde va mi pueblo
Mil cosas me detienen
pero otras mil me empujan
y elevo mi guitarra
llena de primaveras
para cantar con ella
las coplas de mi gente
Cómo explicarte a ti
Antonia Jesús Heredia
cómo explicarte a ti
a ti madre querida
si eres pura simpleza
simple como mi pueblo
sangre de mi semilla
Que tengo pies de viento
y corazón de cielo
para andar los caminos
por donde va mi pueblo
Cómo explicarte a ti
mi padre querido amigo
cómo explicarte a ti
lo que siento y escucho
cómo explicarte a ti
si eres lo que yo canto
lo que me duele y grito
sangre de mi semilla
Que tengo pies de viento
y corazón de cielo
para andar los caminos
por donde va mi pueblo
Cómo explicarte a ti
mi dulce compañera
cómo explicarte a ti
si tú ya me conoces
cómo explicarte a ti
si eres la luz del día
donde ilumino el canto
sangre de mi semilla
Que tengo pies de viento
y corazón de cielo
para andar los caminos
por donde va mi pueblo
por donde va mi pueblo
mi pueblo, mi pueblo, mi pueblo...

My One And Only (Fred Astaire)


My One And Only
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and various other artists



My one and only
What am I gonna do if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

I'd be so lonely
Where am I gonna go if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue

I tell you I'm not asking any miracle
It can be done, it can be done
I know a clergyman who will roll lyrical
And make us one, and make us one

So my one and only
There isn't a reason why you should turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

To show affection in your direction
You know I'm fit and able
I more then merely love you sincerely
My cards are on the table

Say there must be lots of other men you hypnotise
All of a sudden I've begun to realise
As follows....

My one and only
...if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you
I'd be so lonely
...if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue

I tell you I'm not asking any miracle
I know a clergyman who will roll lyrical

Oh my one and only
...if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

Tenez-Vous Bien


Tenez-Vous Bien
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Pour une fois je m'étais décidé à semer mes principes
Pour une fois je m'étais écrié ce soir je m'émancipe
Très sûr de moi j'avais mes beaux souliers j'suis entré dans la danse
Y avait pas d'quoi être maître de ballet pour garder la cadence

Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je suis plein d'idées folles
Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je prends la parole

Là devant moi y avait une de ces filles comme on colle aux affiches
Au fond de moi y avait comme un génie qui me criait: chiche!
Et c'est ainsi que bravant la fumée je lui lance une œillade
Je suis verni car la belle subjuguée tombe dans l'embuscade

Crénom de nom! fallait-il que je l'aime pour suer de la sorte
Sacré démon qui faisait rimer je t'aime avec va vers la porte

Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je suis plein d'idées folles
Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je prends la parole

Il est trois heures je suis seul dans mon coin garçon encore un, vite!
Ayez bon cœur ce n'est si bien je veux vivre la suite
Remontez donc cette fichue machine à fabriquer les rêves
J'ai d'quoi payer, je travaille à l'usine encore un et j'me lève

Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je suis plein d'idées folles
Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je prends la parole
Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je suis plein d'idées folles
Tenez-vous bien les poupées car ce soir je prends la parole...
