Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero


Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Soy ciudadano del amor
llevo dogal de belleza
entre la hombrera y la cabeza
entre rodilla y cinturón
Haciendo crítica social
me perfumé de valiente
creyeron que era disidente
y no era más que natural

Martí me habló de la amistad
y creo en él cada día
aunque la cruda economía
ha dado luz a otra verdad

El mundo tiene la razón
puesta en el pan, en el diario
ese señor rudimentario
que nos dará la absolución

Ciega
la vida nueva es
como un verso al revés
como un amor por descifrar
como un Dios en edad de jugar
Trino
vete al destino, al punto que será final
juega a lo que no jugué
y canta que aunque sin rey mago
sigo en pie

Seguro estoy requete mal
debo sufrir algo extraño
pues ni la hiel ni el desengaño
me dan canción de funeral

El fin de siglo trae la sien
cebada de pudredumbre
como invitándome a una lumbre
que prenderá quien ame bien

Bendito el tiempo que me dio
una canción sin permiso
Bendito sea el paraíso
algo infernal que me parió

El día del Armagedón
no quiero estar tras la puerta
sino soñando bien alerta
donde esté a salvo de perdón

Ciega
la vida nueva es
como un verso al revés
como un amor por descifrar
como un Dios en edad de jugar
Trino
vete al destino, al punto que será final
juega a lo que no jugué
y canta que aunque sin rey mago
sigo en pie

Too Many Tears


Too Many Tears
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin
Performer(s): Dick Powell
and multiple other artists



To have a good old fashioned cry
Once in a while
Isn't so bad
For when you've had that little cry
Then you can smile
You can be glad
But when there's too much sorrow
You know that there is bound to be

Too many tears
Each night I go to bed
I lay awake and shed
Too many tears
Your memory
Is bringing me
Too many tears
Too many years
I wasted loving you
And you know I was true
Too many years
I cared a lot
What have I got?
Too many tears
I know I should have found a new love
And don't you think I didn't try
But I found out a "number two" love
Never seems to satisfy
I'll never learn
To smile again and sing
I gave you ev'rything
And in return
What did you leave for souvenirs?
Too many tears

I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You


I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Colin Hay; Wes Wingate



I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky
'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Juego Letal


Juego Letal
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Raphael



Sentir tus dedos tocar mis labios
Es sensacion que estremece mi piel
Y tu mirar enciende en mi pasion
Placer prohibido, voy a caer en el

Si te acercas a mi
Si yo escucho tu voz
Si mis ojos van hasta ti
Es locura de amor
Pierdo todo el control
No sabria sentir asi

Es la pura maldad
Es pecado mortal
Y cuidado con el
Es un juego letal

Es la vision de un sueño oscuro
Tan irreal que parece verdad
Extraño amor de cuento infantil
Adios princesa, ¿sabes a donde vas?

Echarás a correr, tal vez te quedaras
Que mas da, tu fin es perder
Solo se que no soy, olvide donde estoy
Pago el precio por un querer
¿A quien voy a culpar?
Es un crimen carnal
La verdad que mas da
Es un juego letal

No hables mas, ¿para que?
Bastara nuestro mirar
Nos dira de los dos
Lo que yo quiero escuchar

Si te acercas a mi
Si yo escucho tu voz
Si mis ojos van hasta ti
Es locura de amor
Pierdo todo el control
No sabria sentir asi

Es la pura maldad
Es pecado mortal
¿A quien puedo culpar?
Es un crimen carnal
Ten cuidado con el
Es un juego letal

Too Many Rivers


Too Many Rivers
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release: Claude Gray - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I wish I could come back to you, dear
'Cause I know that you want me to
But too much water run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you
There's too many rivers to cross, dear

Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights
That I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

Now don't think for a moment, I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

Yes, there's too many rivers to cross, dear
And there's too many dreams that have been lost
Oh there's too many long nights
That I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore


I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore
(aka Trucker's Lament) Composer(s): Sheb Wooley - Dick Feller Performer(s): Sheb Wooley and multiple other artists



I stepped outta the shower and I gotta good look at myself
Pot belly, bald head, man, I thought I was somebody else
I caught my reflection in the mirror on the back of my bathroom door
I just don't look good naked anymore

So, I'm goin' upstairs and turn the bedroom mirror to the wall
I hung it there when I was trim and tall
I'd stand there and smile, and strut and flex until my arms got sore
But I just don't look good naked anymore

Well, I used to go out with the girls
I loved them one and all
Now they don't get very close to me
They're afraid that I might fall

Well, I went to the Doctor for my annual medical exam
Stood there in the buff, suddenly he said "Man"
I said "What is it Doc, some fatal disease, I just gotta know the score"
He said "No, you just don't look good naked anymore

Well, me and my wife had a dance routine
Everybody said it was unique
Now it's only when we're back to back
That we're dancing cheek to cheek

Well, I went to a nudie beech to have some seaside fun
Stretched out in my birthday suit, soakin' up the sun
Somebody yelled, "Hey, there's an old white whale washed up on the shore
I just don't look good naked anymore

Yeah, my arches fell, my chest went to hell
And my butt's a-draggin' the floor
An' I just don't look good naked anymore
No, I just don't look good naked anymore

Judy's Turn To Cry


Judy's Turn To Cry
Composer(s): Edna Lewis; Beverly "Ruby" Ross
Performer(s): Lesley Gore



'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party (my party)
And came back wearing his ring,
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now, that was a foolish thing

'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together (together)
I felt like making a scene
Then, my tears just fell like raindrops
'Cause Judy's smile was so mean

But now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Oh, one night I saw them kissin' at a party (a party)
So, I kissed some other guy
Johnny jumped up and he hit him
'Cause he still loved me, that's why

So now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Yay, now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry........

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself


I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
French Title: Oui, Il Faut Croire - 1964
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach
First release by: Tommy Hunt - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you, I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do

Judy, Judy, Judy
Composer(s): Doc Pomus;
Mort Shuman; Johnny Tillotson
Performer(s): Johnny Tillotson



Judy's got the lips I love to kiss
And when she walks she's got the cutest twist
She's grown up before my eyes and all at once I realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

Judy's got the hands I love to touch
The way she wrinkles her nose, it's just too much
No more shirts and bright blue jeans, all at once she's seventeen
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore
'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for

Judy's gonna share my life some day
And in my heart I know she's gonna stay
When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore
'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for

Judy's gonna share my life some day
And I'll be true to her in every way
When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

Too Many Fish In The Sea


Too Many Fish In The Sea
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland
First release: The Marvelettes - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life

Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love & lose you must stand tall
'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)
My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you
They'll only mislead you, only grieve you
Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)

If a fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook & keep on tryin'
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)

I don't want nobody who don't want me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't need nobody who don't need me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody who don't want me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)...

Oui, Il Faut Croire


Oui, Il Faut Croire
Adapted from: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - 1962
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach; Michèle Vendôme, Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila - 1964



Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment
Que la chance nous attend
On doit la chercher

Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Apprendre à sourire quand on a du chagrin
Quand celui qu'on aimait bien
Vous a fait pleurer
On doit savoir oublier

Avec toi, je veux connaître le monde et découvrir
Toutes les joies et tous les espoirs
Qu'il vient m'offrir

Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Et se souvenir du geste de l'ami
Car les mots qu'il nous a dits
Pour nous consoler
On ne peut les effacer

Toi qui m'a appris à regarder autour de moi
Jamais mon coeur, je te le promets,
Ne t'oubliera !

Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!
Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!
Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment
Que la chance nous attend
On doit la chercher

Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!

A circus of horrors, yeah, well that's what you are

I Just Can't Wait To Be King


I Just Can't Wait To Be King
Composer(s): Elton John; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Elton John & London Community
and multiple other artists



I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my Roar

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
(You've rather a long way to go, young master
if you think...)

No one saying do this
(Now when I said that, I -)
No one saying be there
(What I meant was...)
No one saying stop that
(Look, what you don't realize...)
No one saying see here
(Now see here!)

Free to run around all day
(Well, that's definitely out...)
Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

Not yet!

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

Judy
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



You came down out of Heaven to make me happy, dear
To smile away my sorrows and kiss away my tears
Seems that I have loved you though we've never met before
But now you're in my heart, love, to stay for evermore

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

The nights were dark and lonely the days were lonely too
But now they're all so bright, love, cause all I see is you
You came into my heart, love, from out of empty space
With a song upon your lips, dear, with a smile upon your face

You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin'
You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew
My arms could never hold another
'Cause my love is only for you

Too Long Out/Too Long In


Too Long Out/Too Long In
Performer(s): Jorma Kaukonen



"Well movin' down to Lousisiana, gonna leave this life behind
Bye-bye California, said I finally changed my mind
This restless way of livin' bout to drive a man insane
To leave the sleepy village, tired of playin' those waitin' games

Well hello New York City, hope you're waitin' on my call
Babe since I've been here you're the greatest one of all
Well hello big time city, come on and have a ball
Tired of hibernatin', let's go cruising for a fall

Well I spent some time in Wichita
Thought it was the pits
This life of superstratum just ain't all it's cracked up to be

To California, where the people let you be
Well good morning Albuquerque
Lord I must have gone insane
Looking out the window
Gotta catch a train
Seems like lost horizons just ain't comin' up the same
I hear California callin'
I better take a plane
Well
Gotta to tell Virginia that they better let it shine
This life that I've been living
Street sore failure on my mind
Well bye bye the old Grand Canyon
California way behind"

I Just Can't Stop Loving You


I Just Can't Stop Loving You
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
Performer(s): Michael Jackson



I just want to lay next to you for a while
You look so beautiful tonight
Your eyes are so lovely
Your mouth is so sweet
A lot of people misunderstand me
That's because they don't know me at all
I just want to touch you
And hold you
I need you
God, I need you
I love you so much

Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call I hear harps
And Angels sing
You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you

I just can't hold on
I feel we belong
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
'Cause I just can't stop loving you

At night when the stars shine
I pray in you I'll find a love so true
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

You know how I feel
I won't stop until I hear
Your voice saying I do
(I do)
This thing can't go wrong
This feeling's so strong
Well, my life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
(If I don't)
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
I just can't stop loving you

We can change all the world tomorrow
We can sing songs of yesterday
I can say,'Hey, farewell to sorrow'
This is my life and I
Want to see you for always

I just can't stop loving you
(Oh, baby)
(Oh)
I just can't stop loving you
(If I can't stop)
And if I stop
(Oh)
Then tell me just what will I do
(Oh)
(What will I do)
(Oh)
I just can't stop loving you
(Why do, girl)
I just can't stop loving you
(And nobody but'you)
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do

Judy (Frankie Vaughan)


Judy
Performer(s): Frankie Vaughan



If her voice can bring
Every hope of Spring
That's Judy
My Judy

If her eyes say "yes"
But you're wrong in your guess
That's Judy
My Judy

If you hear her call
In a soft, southern drawl
"Hi! Stranger!"
That's danger

If you're smart; watch your heart
She'll upset 'most any fellows apple cart!

In a hundred ways
You'll be shouting her praise
She'll let 'ya
She'll get 'ya

When she sees you fall
She will will tell you "That's all,..."
"You wrtech 'ya!"
You betcha

Then you'l know all the heartaches
Of a fool just like me

If she seem a saint
And you'll find that she ain't
That's Judy
Sure as you're born!

Too Long At The Fair


Too Long At The Fair
Composer(s): Joel Zoss
First release: Bonnie Raitt - 1972



Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well I went down to Chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well, you can give my soul to Aabraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My feet they don't hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
