Reino De Todavía


Reino De Todavía
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Viene girando un ángulo planetario
golpeando las paredes del infinito
descascarando el nácar del inventario
violentando el remanso de lo prescrito

Ciertas presiones altas vienen girando
en los celajes arremolinaciones
travesuras del tiempo traspapelando
vienen antecedentes de los ciclones

Lloran viejos obscenos, moralizantes
almas crucificadas en los cincuenta
con las lenguas sumidas en anhelantes
saliveos al sexo de los noventa

Lloran niños dormidos, bien arropados
en la eterna ilusión de salir mejores
pero nadie se salva del pie forzado
hay que crecer bailando con sinsabores

Balseros, navidades, absolutismo
bautismos, testamentos, odio y ternura
Nadie sabe qué cosa es el comunismo
y eso puede ser pasto de la censura
Nadie sabe qué cosa es el comunismo
y eso puede ser pasto de la ventura

De entre todo lo triste y lo perdido
se aproximan girando las estrellitas
Nadie las ve avanzando por sobre el ruido
de las tiendas legales y las proscritas

El sistema invisible tendrá su precio
su frontera y tamaño, su analogía
Dios le llaman algunos, otros Comercio
mas para mi es el Reino de Todavía

Balseros, navidades, absolutismo
bautismos, testamentos, odio y ternura
Nadie sabe qué cosa es el comunismo
y eso puede ser pasto de la censura
Nadie sabe qué cosa es el comunismo
y eso puede ser pasto de la ventura

The Needle And The Spoon


The Needle And The Spoon
Composer(s): Ronnie Van Zant - Allen Collins
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; The Ramblers; Pickin' On



Thirty days, lord and thirty nights
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight
Mama waitin' at the ticket line
Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'

It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away

I've been feelin' so sick and tired
Got to get better, lord before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit, son before your dead

It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away

Quit the needle
Quit the spoon
Quit the trip to the moon
We gonna take you away
Lord, we gonna take you away

It was the needle and the spoon

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools
Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say
You'll have your chance to hit it some day

It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away

Don't mess with the needle or a spoon
Or any trip to the moon
It'll take you away

Lord, their gonna bury you boy
Don't mess with the needle
Now I know, I know, I know...

Ciao Mon Coeur


Ciao Mon Coeur Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Waldir Calmon



Ciao mon coeur, ciao
On s'aime un jour et le suivant
L'amour repart tout simplement
Comme il était venu

Ciao mon coeur, ciao
Lorsque le lit n'est plus qu'un lit
Ne servant qu'à dormir la nuit
C'est qu'on ne s'aime plus

Souviens-toi
Lorsqu'ici un printemps se meurt
Il explose et fleurit ailleurs
Ce qui semble mourir
Renaît en souvenir

Ciao mon coeur, ciao
Ce qu'on s'est aimé en un an
Les autres pour en faire autant
On besoin d'une vie

Ciao mon coeur, ciao
On a brûlé par les deux bouts
Tous les plaisirs, tous les tabous
Et fait mille folies

Tu sais bien
Que ça fait très mal au dedans
On n'a pas vécu tout ce temps
Ensemble tous les deux
Sans s'attacher un peu

Ciao mon coeur, ciao
Voici la croisée des chemins
Chacun de nous reprend le sien
Un dernier signe de la main

Et ciao, ciao, ciao, adieu

Reginella Campagnola


Reginella Campagnola
((English Version: The Woodpecker Song (Glenn Miller))
Composer(s): Eldo Di Lazzaro
Performer(s): Carlo Buti
and multiple other artists



All' alba quando spunta il sole
La nell' Abruzzo tutto d'or
Le prosperose campagnole
Discendono le valli infior

O campagnola bella tu sei la Reginella
Negli occhi tuoi c'e il sole il colore
Delle viole delle valli tutte in fior
Se canti, la tua voce
E' un armonia di pace
Che si diffonde e dice
"Se vuoi viver felice devi vivere quassu!

Quand' a la festa dal paesello
Con la sua cesta se ne va
Trotterellanlo l'asinello
La porta verso la citta

Ma poi la sera al tramontare
Con le sue amiche se ne va
E tutte intenta a raccontare
Quel che ha veduto la' in citta

The Needle And The Damage Done


The Needle And The Damage Done
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



I caught you knocking at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Oh the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
milk-blood to keep from runnin' out

I've seen The Needle And The Damage Done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun

Ciao Come Stai


Ciao Come Stai ((French Version: Ne Lui Dis Pas (Dalida)) Composer(s): Lana Sebastian - Paul Sebastian - R. Arnaldi Performer(s): Dalida



Ciao come stai
Non sei cambiato sai
Dal giorno che non so
Perchè ti dissi no

Da una do io
No vivo più con lui
Fra il suo corpo e il mio
Il mio respiro e il suo
Bruciavi sempre tu

Ciao come stai
Ma parlami di te
Ciao come stai
Di te senza di me
Ciao come stai
Come ti va che fai, come si chiama lei

Fu colpa tua
Forse solo mia
Ma lasciati guardar
Mi sembra di sognar

Ciao come stai
Non ti ho scordato mai
E adesso che sei qui
ll tempo fermerei

Toccarti e poi
Chiudere gli occhi e poi
Sentirti ancora in me
Che mi rifugio in te
Cercando solo noi

Ciao come stai
Ma che pazza io
Ciao come stai
Averti detto addio
Ciao come stai
Che cosa non darei
Per tornar con te

Fu colpa tua
Forse solo mia
Ma lasciati guardar
Mi sembra di sognar

"Ma si che lo so , ora esiste lei
no temere, non faccio storie la tua vita adesso è accanto a lei"

Fu colpa tua
Forse solo mia
Che cosa importa ormai
Visto che te ne vai

Ciao come stai
Ma parlami di te
Ciao come stai
Di te senza di me
Ciao come stai
Che cosa non darei

Ciao come...

The Nearness Of You


The Nearness Of You
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Ned Washington
First performance: Gladys Swarthout - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Mille violons chantent leur mélodie
Un arc-en-ciel dans le ciel se déplie
Mais il me semble être encore sous la pluie
Si malheureuse quand il m'a dit

Tchao Tchao Bambina
Dis-moi je t'aime
Pour la dernière, dernière fois
Bientôt petite
Je vais te perdre
J'ai de la peine
Embrasse-moi
Tchao Tchao Bambina
Un jour on s'aime
Et l'on se quitte
L'amour c'est ça...
Dans tes yeux tristes
Tout le ciel pleure
Et moi je pleure
Pleure avec toi!

Tchao Tchao Bambina
Dis-moi je t'aime
Pour la dernière, dernière fois
Bientôt petite
Je vais te perdre
J'ai de la peine

Crois'ra la tienne
Peut-être un jour
Mais le ciel même
Ce soir en douce
Il pleure pleure
Sur notre amour!

The Navy Gets The Gravy, But The Army Gets The Beans


The Navy Gets The Gravy, But The Army Gets The Beans
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
Performer(s): Jerry Lewis



In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cooking means
In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Send a salami, to your boy in the army
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans beans
beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Nothing but beans
Navy service is ideal, printed menus ev'ry meal
And they decorate your plate with parsley greens
In the Army we get chow that you wouldn't feed a Chow
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans
Send a baloney `cause I'm skinny and boney
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, nothing but beans)
Loving those beans, loving those beans, liking those beans
Know what I mean, mammy I love you
Nothing but beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Oh, I was born at the age of three, as might' as I could be
Sure it takes a great mentality to dish out all the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Oh, it seems bell bottomed pants are conducive to romance
They are wined and dined and loved by movie queens
But you wear a khaki frame and you get a wacky dame
Oh, the Navy gets the, the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
I hit the jackpot, but it's always a crackpot
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Did you know that the Navy gets all of the gravy
Did you know that the Army gets all of the beans
Oh, a soldier's a coward if he doesn't lick the platter clean
Oh, a soldier's a coward if he leaves a solitary bean
Oh, it isn't the fighting that will make a soldier cross and mean
It is only the beans!
You can grab a marine and you show him a bean
He says: "what does it mean, that I never have seen"
So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify
So I say to you: "why do we got to have beans?"
Multiple beans, ??? beans, succulent beans
Nothing but beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans
beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

La solita strada
Bianca come il sale
Il grano da crescere
I campi da anane
Guardare ogui giorno
Se piove o c'è il sole
Per saper se domani
Si vive o si innore
E un bel giorno dire basta e andare via

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Andare via lontano
Cercare un altro mondo
Dire addio al cortile
Andarsene sognando

E poi mille strade
Grige come il fumo
In un mondo di luci
Sentirsi nessuno
In un giorno solo
Soltare cent'anni
Dai carri dei campi
Agli aerei del cielo
E sentirsi soli e ner voglia di tornare da te

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore

Non saper fare niente in un mondo che sa tutto
E non avere un soldo nemmeno per tornare

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

The Naughty Little Flea


The Naughty Little Flea
Composer(s): Norman Thomas
Performer(s): Miriam Makeba
and multiple other artists



Where did the naughty little flea go
Nobody know, nobody know
Where did the naughty little flea go
Nobody know, nobody know

A naughty flea he came to town
Started searching up and down
Looking for a place to nest
Where he can get some food and rest

He saw a lady round and fat
He smiled a smile and tipped his hat
He said oh yes I’m goin’ have a ball
Man look at all that cholesterol

The naughty flea went to the beach
He saw such tasties in his reach
He said hurrah and thank you Lord
That’s what I call a small guest bug

The naughty flea went to the zoo
Saw a skunk and bit him too
He bit him in the usual place
And said Holy Macro what a taste

Sum up friends well can you see
The big advantage of being a flea
Just remember what ever you do
That what you bite is what you chew

Ein tag voller sonne
So hat es begonnen
Die nacht war voll tränen
Das glück ist zerronnen
Ich wollte ja bleiben
Ich lebe so gerne
Doch der Zug fahrt weiter
In die dunkle ferne
Und ich will leben, leben, leben
Schön ist die Liebe

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Einsam fliehen die tage
Ein traum verweht im winde
Einsam bleibt meine frage
Ob ich dich wiederfinde

Die glücklichen lieder
Die einst wir gesungen
Erklingen nie wieder
Das glas ist zersprungen

Ich suche vergebens
Wohin ich mich wende
Und der zug fahrt weiter
Ohne ziel, ohne ende
Doch ich will leben, leben, leben
Schön ist die liebe

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Einsam fliehen die tage
Ein traum verweht im winde

Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane


Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane
Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers; Dean Martin; Alma Cogan



The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Has hit the town like a bomb
The back-fence gossip ain't been this good
Since Mabel ran off with Tom
Our town was peaceful and quiet
Before she came on the scene
The lady has started a riot
Disturbin' the suburban routine

The naughty lady of Shady Lane has the town in a whirl
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl

You should see how she carries on
With her admirers galore
She must be givin' them quite a thrill
The way they flock to her door
She throws those come-hither glances
At every Tom, Dick, and Joe
When offered some liquid refreshment
The lady never never says "no"

The naughty lady of Shady Lane has the town in a whirl
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl

The things they're trying to pin on her
Won't hold much water, for sure
Beneath the powder and fancy lace
There beats a heart sweet and pure
She just needs someone to change her
And she'll be nice as can be
If you're in the neighborhood, stranger
You're welcome to drop in and see

The naughty lady of Shady Lane
So delightful to hold
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
So delectable
Quite respectable
And she's only Nine Days Old!!!

((German Version: Ciao Amore, Ciao (Dalida) - 1967))
Composer(s): Luigi Tenco - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida - 1969



Nous sommes deux ombres
Et deux solitudes
Un grand amour sombre
Dans les habitudes
Et l'on ose à peine
Rompre le silence
Mieux vaudrait la haine
Que l'indifférence
Mais je veux vivre vivre
Je veux qu'on m'aime

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Nous vivons dans du rose
Dans du gris monotone
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Que d'un chat qui ronronne

Je veux voir le monde
Qu'il soit gai ou triste
Qu'il chante ou qu'il gronde
Pourvu qu'il existe
Je veux voir des villes
Qu'elles soient blanches ou rouges
Et des yeux qui brillent
Et des gens qui bougent
Moi je veux vivre vivre
Comme ceux qui s'aiment

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Je te laisse tes livres
La cloche de l'église
La tiédeur de vivre
Dans cette maison grise

Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao
Ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao amore, ciao

Ciao amore...

Regarde-Toi Paname


Regarde-Toi Paname
Composer(s): Pierre Frachet; Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Ne crâne donc pas tant Paname
Je n'voudrais pas te faire de peine
Mais on peut voir couler la Seine
Ailleurs qu'au pied de Notre-Dame

De Châtillon à l'estuaire
Elle baigne bien d'autres lieux
Grâce en soit rendue au Bon Dieu
Y'a pas que Paris sur la terre

Paname si tu te crois belle
C'est que tu n't'es pas regardée
Du côté du quai de Grenelle
Ou de Maubert/Mutualité

Paris le soir Paris la nuit
Tu bois tu gambilles tu t'empiffres
Et tu noies dans le son des fifres
Ta solitude et ton ennui

Paris tu vas paumer ta ligne
A force de mordre au gâteau
Tu prends du ventre à Rambuteau
T'es moins jeune et tu te résignes

Paname tu te crois mariolle
Mais tu ne t'es pas regardée
Sur le vieux pont des Batignolles
Y'a longtemps qu'on n'va plus danser

Tu trouves la misère importune
Mais tu portes tes beaux quartiers
Comme leurs bagues et leurs colliers
Les vieilles cocottes sans fortune

Mais à trois pas de tes beaux marbres
En face du quai de Passy
Y'a des mômes de par ici
Qui n'ont jamais grimpé aux arbres

Va rhabiller tes faux poètes
Paname t'as perdu la main
T'es plus bonne qu'aux Américains
Qui viennent se soûler à tes fêtes

Troupeau de toi fleuve tranquille
Ciel généreux pavé têtu
Grande gueule et petite vertu
Paname t'es quand même ma ville

Y'a des revers à tes médailles
Des rimes pauvres à tes poèmes
Pour cent palais pour cent ripailles
Combien de taudis de carêmes

Et pourtant je n'ai pas l'envie
De traîner ailleurs mes souliers
C'est là qu'j'ai commencé ma vie
C'est là que je la finirai

The Narrow Way


The Narrow Way
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



Following the path
As it leads towards the Darkness in the North
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
And if you want to stay
For a little bit
Rest your aching limbs
For a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aging eyes
Be on your way

Mist is swelling
Creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay
For a little bit
Rest your aching limbs
For a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aging eyes
Be on your way

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as on that morning
And if you want to stay
For a little bit
Rest your aching limbs
For a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aging eyes
Be on your way
