El Loco Y Las Golondrinas


El Loco Y Las Golondrinas
Composer(s): D.A.R. Performer(s): León Gieco



En el vientre de la noche
el loco vio a un muñeco
a una colmena abandonada
y de las estrellas sus gargantas
Ooooh...

En la espalda del invierno
vio llegar las golondrinas
y le contó la novedades
de los ciento ochenta días

Y mañana que te dirán
de tu enfermedad
quien sabe que te resistes
a la vulgaridad

Cuando la noche oscura invita
a la luna para ser vista
su locura busca un sueño
que se enamora del silencio

Cuando las aves buscan el sonido
de las campanas
su lenguaje busca unas palabras
para ser mas entendido

Tubby The Tuba At The Circus


Tubby The Tuba At The Circus
Composer(s): George Kleinsinger
Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer



Tubby:
When the buds begin to pop
And the robin takes a hop
Everybody says, "It's spring today!"
I suppose that may be so
But I'd like for you to know
I can always tell it's spring another way/
I can always tell it's spring
When the circus comes to town
It makes me want to sing
When I bump into a clown!
When the circus marches past
And the band goes tan-ta-ra
I know it's spring at last,
And my heart goes, "Oom-Pah!"

Tubby's Idea:
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
An acrobat you ought to be
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Alley-oop, Oom-Pah
Hey Tubby! You'd be a sight to see!

Elephant:
Be yourself, you can't be anybody else
Be yourself is my advice to you
Or else you'll always be a nobody
So be yourself, or else
A hippopotamus
Would look very curious
Flying like a butterfly
A fierce and hungry lion
Would look silly tryin'
To bake an apple pie
I think you'd get a laugh
If you saw a tall giraffe
Swinging by his tail from a tree
I think an octopus
Would look quite ridiculous
Knitting sweaters at the bottom of the sea
So be yourself, and do the things that you know best
Be yourself, I think that you'd be happiest
By being no one else but you

J'ai Été Fou D'aimer


J'ai Été Fou D'aimer
Adapted from: I Was A Fool To Care - 1975
Composer(s): James Taylor; Michel Delpech; Jean-Michel Rivat
Performer(s): Michel Delpech - 1979



J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou

Je suis encore amoureux
Si j'avais écouté les ragots j'aurai eu quelques doutes
Mais j'ai fait tout mon possible pour leur barrer la route
Car l'amour n'y voit rien
Et l'amour nous tient
Et il faut du temps à un fou qui rêve
Pour savoir ce que tout le monde sait

J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou

Je suis encore amoureux
J'imagine ton visage
Tu remplis presque tout l'espace devant moi
Et je vois tes yeux
Tes mensonges et tes jolis jeux
Oh oui
Je voudrais être un vieil homme qui n'a plus ces tourments
Je voudrais être un bébé sur les genoux de sa maman
Je voudrais être comme un train qui siffle où qu'il aille
Qui suit toujours ses rails
Sans mes souvenirs obsédants

J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou

Je suis encore amoureux
Oh oui, je le suis
J'aurai pu ouvrir les yeux
J'aurai pu voir dans ton jeu
J'aurai pu en avoir marre
J'aurai pu te dire au revoir
Mais

J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
J'ai été fou d'aimer
Mais je m'en fous
Même si j'ai été un fou

Décidement, j'ai été fou d'aimer

El Lazo


El Lazo
Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara; Francesca Ancarola



Cuando el sol se inclinaba
lo encontre
en un rancho sombrio
de Lonquen
en un rancho de pobres
lo encontre
cuando el sol se inclinaba
en Lonquen

Sus manos siendo tan viejas
eran fuertes pa' trenzar
eran rudas y eran tiernas
con el cuero'el animal
El lazo como serpiente
se enroscaba en el nogal
y en cada lazo la huella
de su vida y de su pan

Cuanto tiempo hay en sus manos
y en su apagado mirar
Y nadie ha dicho: esta bueno
ya no debes trabajar
La sombra viene laceando
la ultima luz del dia
el viejo trenza unos versos
pa' maniatar la alegria

Sus lazos han recorrido
sur y norte, cerro y mar
pero el viejo la distancia
nunca la supo explicar
Su vida deja en los lazos
aferrados al nogal
despues llegara la muerte
y tambien lo laceara
Que importa si el lazo es firme
y dura la eternidad
laceando por algun campo
el viejo descanzara

Cuando el sol se inclinaba
lo encontre
en un rancho sombrio
de Lonquen
en un rancho de pobres
lo encontre
cuando el sol se inclinaba
en Lonquen

Tubby The Tuba


Tubby The Tuba
Composer(s): George Kleinsinger - Paul Tripp
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists



There once was a band, best in the land
Everybody said oh my, they're grand
But oh, how they laughed when the tuba went by
With an oompah pah, and a great big sigh
Tubby the tuba puffing away never had a tune to play
Always dreamed he'd sing a song instead of puffing all day long
With his oompah, oom pah pah, oom pah, oompah pah pah
Tubby said oh, gosh oh, gee, wish I had a melody
I'd be better off I know if I didn't have to blow
This oompah, oom pah pah, oompah, oom pah pah
Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry
Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade
Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band
He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody
Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don't you cry
Take my bullfrog serenade and you'll be the star of the big parade
Tubby sang the song so grand, now he's leader of the band
He's as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba's melody
Tubby the tuba's melody

I Was A Fool (To Let You Go)


I Was A Fool (To Let You Go)
Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
and multiple other artists



After I've had my last cigarette
When the night is as black as the night's gonna get

Well, I'm still wide awake cause I still can't forget
I was a fool to let you go
And after I've closed the bar with the boys
Though I can't stand the drinks and I can't stand the noise
When I know I'll be back 'cause there's no other choice
I know I was a fool to let you go

I was a fool to think
That I could sleep a wink
In this big empty bed by myself
And I was a fool to wait
Until it was too late
To tell you just how I felt
And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true
I know I was a fool to let you go
And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true
When I see what it cost and what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go

El Jinete


El Jinete
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Por la lejana montaña
va cabalgando un jinete
vaga solito en el mundo
y va deseando la muerte

Lleva en el pecho una herida
va con su alma destrozada
quisiera perder la vida
y reunirse con su amada

La queria mas que a su vida
y la perdio para siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte

Con su guitarra cantando
se pasa noches enteras
hombre y guitarra llorando
a la luz de las estrellas

Despues se pierde en la noche
y aunque la noche es muy bella
el va pidiendole a Dios
que se lo lleve con ella

La queria mas que a su vida
y la perdio para siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte
por eso lleva una herida...

Tubas In The Moonlight


Tubas In The Moonlight
Performer(s): Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band



Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon (mm-mm)
For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon
And, although I've never smiled
Winter, summer, autumn too
Now here's one tune to remind me why I feel so blue-oo...

Tubas in the moonlight, playing for me all night
Tell me what I want to hear
Am I only dreaming?
Am I only scheming?
Stars above me, shining brightly
Why can't she be sitting here beside me?
Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home

Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home

Outbound Plane


Outbound Plane
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith; Tom Russell
First release by: Nanci Griffith - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't want to be standing here
With this ticket for this outbound plane
Oh, I've been here before
Somehow this doesn't feel the same
Talk is cheap
So we could talk all night long
And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong

'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

The old folks say
Love is not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away from love alone
To pace the floor
Young or old
I say that love is still the same
You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heel again

'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But, if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

That frown you're wearing's
Just your halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found?
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground
You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out

'Cause I don't want to be standing here
Don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

El Jibarito


El Jibarito
Composer(s): Raphael Hernández
Performer(s): Enrique Chia
and multiple other artists



Sale loco de contento
Con su cargamento para la ciudad
Lleva en su pensamiento
Todo un mundo lleno de felicidad
Piensa remediar la situación
Del hogar que es toda su ilusión
Y alegre el jibarito va cantando así
Diciendo así, pensando así por el camino
Si yo vendo mi carga mi Dios querido
Un traje a mi viejito le voy a comprar
Y alegre también su yegua va
Al presentir que aquel cantar
Es todo un himno de alegría
En esto le sorprende la luz del día
Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad
Piensa remediar la situación
Del hogar que es toda su ilusión

Tua Moglie


Tua Moglie
((French Version: Ta Femme (Dalida) - 1974))
Composer(s): Pascal Sevran - S. Lebrail - Pascal Auriat - Arnaldi
Performer(s): Dalida



Son già le otto e devi andare
Anche stavolta tarderai
Aggiusta il nodo alla cravatta
C'è un moi capello sulla giacca
Son sempre qui quando mi vuoi
Non far quell'aria triste dai
Potrebbe anche farne un dramma
Tua moglie

Lei in cucina e tu di là
Sedato in faccia alla TV
Dopo sei anni spesi in due
Tu la sopporti e lei ci stà
Non far vedere che sei giù
Porta ogni tanto qualche fior
Anche se a volte lei ti pesa
Tua moglie

Accanto a me vieni a cercar
Una rivalsa ai tuoi tabù
Ma non appena sei nei guai
E solo a lei che lo dirai
Questo legame di ogni di
E un'altra forma dell'amor
Non dirmi che non conta niente
Tua moglie

D'accordo non lo ammeetti mai
Ma quanti pregindizi hai
Appena via dalle mie braccia
Ritorni il piccolo borghese
Per ritrovar fiducia in te
Non è che in fondo non va
Vederla arrendersi in silenzio
Tua moglie
Tu vieni qui per soddisfar
Il tuo amor proprio il tuo piacere
Io invece mi accontenterei
D'esser la madre dei figli tuoi

Se c'è chi invidia il posto moi
E lei che dorme accanto a te
A questo punto io mi domando
Se non è meglio ch'io ti renda
A tua moglie

I Wants To Be The Leadin' Lady


I Wants To Be The Leadin' Lady
Composer(s): George Totten Smith; George Fairman



Miss Arabella Snow, upon the stage would go, a man engaged her
'cause she was good looking, at fifteen dollars "per"
said she "Excuse me sir, for leading roles of course with you I'm booking"
"The leading lady, eh?" said he "well in this play
you'll lead the march and say, the coach is waiting"
to Arabella Snow, it was an awful blow but she replied with smile most captivating

She quickly won his heart, and got the leading part
to star her in the piece was his intention, until one day he met
a frolic-some soubrette, and straight away he paid her marked attention
he gave her every song, he made her parts so strong
that Arabella's part was just a "feeder," then Arabella Snow said
"That soubrette must go we've got one leading lady so don't need her"

I wants to be the leading lady, I wants to play the real star parts
make no mistake man, I knows how to act if you give me a chance
you will see it's a fact, I'll make Bernhardt look like thirty cents
I wants to be the leading lady, I don't want no thinking part that's shady
I've got to have all the comedy lines
and the center of the stage where the calcium shines
I wants to be the leading lady"

El Jardín Tranquiloo


El Jardín Tranquilo
Performer(s): Santiago Feliú



El jardín tranquilo
el hogar ya esta frío
ya no hay nadie en casa
tengo que empezar
y ya ves, solo y sin ti

El rumor del viento
se llevó tu silencio
solo queda el eco
triste de tu voz
y ya ves, solo y sin ti

Yo no se qué será sin ti mi vida vacía
un invierno más largo, más gris

Buscaré la estrella
que brillaba en tus ojos
le daré mi mano
y le pediré que su luz
me lleve a ti

Tua Cugina Prima (Tutti A Venezia)


Tua Cugina Prima (Tutti A Venezia)
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte



Vieni, facciamo ancora un'altra foto
col colombo in man'
così, sorridi bene senza smorfie
lo sguardo fisso su di me
mentre conto fino a tre
sarai contento quando poi
tua cugina lo vedrà
che a Venezia siamo stati anche noi

Tua cugina prima è stata a Roma
e ce lo fa pesar
e sì viaggiar si deve disse un giorno
e sbottonandosi il paltò
tutto il viaggio raccontò
quando descrisse anche il bidet
ci siam sentiti come due pezzi da piè

Vieni, facciamo ancora un'altra foto
col colombo in man'
così, sorridi bene senza smorfie
lo sguardo fisso su di me
mentre conto fino a tre
sarai contento quando poi
tua cugina lo vedrà
che a Venezia siamo stati anche noi

El Jardin Donde Vuelan Los Mares


El Jardin Donde Vuelan Los Mares
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Yo se que pudiste conocerme mejor
no se que pensaste fue una horrible decepción
no lo hagas, no lo hagas
cuando me caí me diste todo tu amor
cuando me solté no me tuviste compasión
no lo hagas, no lo hagas

Esta es una triste canción
sigue dando vueltas el sol
si escuchas esto por ahí
quiero saber de vos
si escuchas esto por ahí...

Yo también dejé mis fotos en un cajón
todos somos presas del asombro y el terror
no lo hagas
baby baila, baby ven
deja el rencor
si no quieres o debes, solo dímelo
no lo hagas, no lo hagas

Este es mi jardín, donde vuelan los mares
este es mi jardín, estate aquí ni hay dos iguales
entra a mi jardín, cuando entras no sales
entra a mi jardín esa nena no es un ángel
entones vas a ver...

Este es mi jardín, toma un baño de sales
este es mi jardín, ella es Bibi, el es Pier Paolo
entra a i jardín, nadie tiene la llave
entra a mi jardín, las parejas son impares
entonces vas
y vas a ver

Esta es una triste canción
sigue dando vueltas el sol
si escuchas esto por ahi
quiero saber de vos
si escuchas esto por ahi...

Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start

Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more
I thought I could live without romance
Before you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

El Infierno


El Infierno
Composer(s): Mario DeJesús
Performer(s): Julio Jaramillo; Héctor Lavoe



Tú que cambiaste la ruta de mi vida
tú que curaste el dolor de aquella herida
tú que juraste quererme con locura
me estás causando ya tanta amargura

Tú que me hiciste sentir como en la gloria
tú que inventaste por mí lindas historias
Tú que me diste calor y amor tan tierno
me estás llevando hoy hacia el infierno

¿Qué cosa te hice yo que pueda merecer tu gran desprecio?
Que me castigue Dios si te llegué a ofender alguna vez

Tú que me hiciste sentir como en la gloria
tú que inventaste por mí lindas historias
Tú que me diste calor tantos inviernos
¿por qué me arrastras hoy hacia el infierno

Tu Y Las Nubes


Tu Y Las Nubes
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
and multiple other artists



Ando volando bajo
mi amor esta por los suelos
y tu tan alto, tan alto
mirando mis desconsuelos
sabiendo que soy un hombre
que esta muy lejos del cielo

Ando volando bajo
nomas porque tu no me quieres
y estoy clavado contigo
teniendo tantos placeres
me gusta seguir tus pasos
habiendo tantas mujeres

Tu y las nubes me tienen loco
tu y las nubes me van a matar
yo pa'rriba volteo muy poco
tu pa'bajo no sabes mirar

Yo no naci pa'pobre
me gusta todo lo bueno
y tu tendras que quererme
o en la batalla me muero
pero esa boquita tuya
me habra de decir "te quiero"

Arbol de la esperanza
que vives solo en el campo
tu dime si no la olvido
o dime si no la aguanto
que al fin y al cabo mis ojos
se van a llenar de llanto

Tu y las nubes me tienen loco
tu y las nubes me van a matar
yo pa'rriba volteo muy poco
tu pa'bajo no sabes mirar
