Es Inútil


Es Inútil
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Es inutil
no me quieres, no me quieres
como todas las cosas
que se van acabando
se acabó tu cariño

Es inutil
no comprendes, no comprendes
hoy tan sólo me queda
preguntar a los cielos
cuál será mi destino

Yo te quise
yo te quiero, yo te adoro
per tú y tus caprichos
me insultaban por todo
mientras yo te seguía idolatrando

Yo no quise
yo no pude ser tu dueño
y una noche de tantas
que me diste tu olvido
te agarré la palabra llorando

I'll Be There, Mary Dear


I'll Be There, Mary Dear (aka Mary Dear or "Goodbye, Mary Dear")
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Roy Harvey
and multiple other artists



"Goodbye, Mary
I must go"
Said a lad, "Now don't grieve so
For it's duty calls me far across the sea"
"Take this autumn leaf of gold"
Said the maid, "'Twill ne'er grow old
Always wear it next to your heart and think of me"

"Meet me yonder down the lane
When I come back home again
'Neath the tree where this golden leaf once grew
Kiss me, Mary, then we'll part"
Said the lad with a broken heart
"When the leaves begin to fall, I'll be with you"

"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there
When the fragrance of the roses fills the air
'Neath that old tree grand and tall
When the leaves begin to fall,
I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"

See the lad with empty sleeve
Of his comrades taking leave
They were home again, the transport had come back
"If she loved you long ago,
She won't love you less, I know
But one arm will do to hold her to you, Jack"

It was autumn time again
As he wandered down the lane
There beneath that old oak tree he found a grave
So he knelt in silent prayer
For the one he loved slept there
As the tears fell on the golden leaf she gave

"I'll be there, Mary dear, I'll be there
When the fragrance of the roses fills the air
'Neath that old tree grand and tall
When the leaves begin to fall
I'll be there, yes, I'll be there, sweet Mary dear"

Es Gibt Tage, Da Wünscht' Ich, Ich Wär' Mein Hund


Es Gibt Tage, Da Wünscht' Ich, Ich Wär' Mein Hund
Performer(s): Reinhard Mey



Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund
Ich leg faul auf meinem Kissen und seh' mir mitleidig zu
Wie mich wilde Hektik packt zur Morgenstund'
Und verdrossen von dem Schauspiel legt ich mich zurück zur Ruh

Denn ich hätte zwei Interessen
erstens Schlafen, zweitens Fressen
Und was sonst schön geistige Dinge angeht
Währe ausschließlich Verdauung
der Kern meiner Weltanschauung
Und der Knochen um den dieser welt sich dreht

Ja allein meiner Meditationen Grund
Es gibt tage da wünscht ich ich wär' mein Hund

Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund
Und ich hätte seine keilförmige Nase den es schien
mir die Umwelt vor ganz neuem Hintergrund
und ich ordnete sie ein in ganz anderen Kategorien
die die aufrecht gehen, die kriechen
die die wohl, die übel riechen
und die Typen die mir stinken könnt' ich dann
Hose oder Roch zerreißen und sie in den Hintern beißen
was ich heut' nur in extremen Fällen kann
Denn ich kenn" meinen zahnärtstlichen Befund
Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund

Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund
Dann kümmerte mich kein Besuch, kein Klatsch, keine Affairen
Redete mir nicht mehr Fuseln an den Mund
um irgendwelchen Strohköpfen irgend etwas zu erklären
Denn anstatt zu diskutieren legte ich mich stumm auf ihren Schoß
und sie kraulten mir zwangsläufig den bauch
Und Solls an der Haustür schellen
würd' ich hingehen, würde bellen
froh daß ich niemandem reinzulassen braucht
Und ich sagte tut mir leid aber zur Stund'
ist der Boß nicht da und ich bin nur der Hund

Es gibt Tage, da wünscht' ich ich wär' mein Hund
Denn mir scheint das ich als er beträchtliche Forteile hät'
Denn ich lebte wie ich leb' weiter im grund'
Esse zwar unter dem Tisch, doch schlief ich noch in meinem Bett
Sparte aber ungeheuer, zahlte nur noch Hundesteuer
Nur in einem bin ich als Mensch besser dran
darum mag er mich beneiden, denn ich bin der von uns beiden
der die Kühlschranktür allein aufmachen kann
Und das sind Momente die genieße ich
Denn ich weiß dann wünscht mein Hund er wäre ich
Denn ich weiß dann wünscht mein Hund er wäre ich

I'll Be There For You


I'll Be There For You
(Dutch Version: Altijd Tijd Voor Jou - 2001)
Composer(s): David L. Crane; Marta Fran Kauffman; Michael Jay Skloff; Philip Solem; Danny C. Wilde; Alta Sherral Willis
First release by: The Rembrandts - 1995
Covered by multiple other artists



So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA (Dead on arrival)
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, week, your month or even your year, but...

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before
I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten, your work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far: things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before
I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you
Yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, week, your month or even your year

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before
I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too

I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before
I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too

Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen


Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen
((French & Italian Versions:
Une Larme Aux Nuages (Salvatore Adamo); Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento (Salvatore Adamo))
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen
sie geht auf die Reise zu mir
der Wind bringt sie mir mit den Wolken
und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir

Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen
die unsere Trennung beklagt
und heißt es auch, man soll niemals weinen
kommt es vor daß man gar nicht fragt

Es war so schön, an deiner Hand zu gehn
es war so schön, dich immer anzusehn
uns schien sogar der Regen rosarot
sind nun für uns all diese Wunder tot

Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen
du schickst sie rund um diese Welt
ich wünsch mir, daß sie schon heut' Abend
von dem Himmel auf meine Lippen fällt

Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen
die Träne macht uns beiden klar
wir brauchen keinen Rat kluger Leute
daß wir uns lieben ist ganz offenbar

Es geht eine Träne auf Reisen
sie geht auf die Reise zu mir
der Wind bringt sie mir mit den Wolken
und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir
und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir
und ich weiß, sie kommt nur von dir

Es El Viento


Es El Viento
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Nino Bravo



Es el viento
que te habla
que acaricia tu corazón
es el viento
que te pesa
es el viento que soy yo

Si no estoy junto a ti
pero crees sentir
que acarician tus manos
Si no estoy junto a ti
pero crees sentir
que alguien besa tus labios
Si tú escuchas mi voz
mis palabras de amor
y no estoy a mi lado
no te asustes mi amor
te lo voy a explicar
no te asustes mi amor

Es el viento
que te habla
que acaricia tu corazón
es el viento
que te pesa
es el viento que soy yo

Si no estoy junto a ti
pero crees sentir
el calor de unos brazos
si no estoy junto a ti
pero crees sentir
lo que sientes amando
y si tu alguna vez
te despiertas y ves
que alguien vela tu lado
no te asustes mi amor
te lo voy a explicar
no te asustes mi amor

Es el viento
que te habla
que acaricia tu corazón
es el viento
que te besa
es el viento que soy yo

la, ra, la, la, la, ra, la, ra
umm, ummm, ummmm, ummmm
es el viento
que te besa
es el viento que soy yo

Altijd Tijd Voor Jou


Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
(Adapted from: I'll Be There For You - 1995)
Composer(s): David L. Crane; Marta Fran Kauffman; Michael Jay Skloff; Philip Solem; Danny C. Wilde; Alta Sherral Willis; Bart Herman
Performer(s): Wim Leys - 2001



Hoe kon je weten dat het leven zo kon zijn
Je houdt van heel de wereld en toch doen ze je pijn
Laat je niet zomaar doen en pak de telefoon
Kom in actie - bel een taxi
Je weet toch waar ik woon

Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
(Die kan ik voor je stil doen staan)
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
(dat krijg ik zo voor je gedaan)
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
Omdat ik zomaar van je hou

Je blijft in bed terwijl je op moet voor half acht
Voor de bus - de metro - de trein die op je wacht
Je hebt geen zin meer in je snel ontbijt
Want alles wat voor jou nu telt
Is de pijn die je verbijt

Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
(Die kan ik voor je stil doen staan)
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
(dat krijg ik zo voor je gedaan)
Altijd Tijd Voor Jou
Omdat ik zomaar van je hou

Niemand hoeft mij te kennen
Er valt niets te bekennen
Je bent de enige die weet dat ik er voor je ben
Iemand geheim voor jou
Om er te zijn voor jou
Die je nooit vergeten zou
Zelfs mijlenver ben ik dicht bij jou - yeah

Laat je niet zomaar doen en pak de telefoon
Kom in actie - bel een taxi
En vlieg naar waar ik woon

Es Difícil Morir De Amorr


Es Difícil Morir De Amor
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Cabe mucho dolor en cualquier hombre
Mucho más que el que piensa mucha gente
Que no somos ni el vidrio que se rompe
Ni la flor que se troncha de repente
Cabe mucho dolor en cualquier hombre
Que de arcilla y de barro estamos hechos
No se puede morir en un momento
Ni siquiera de amor aunque sea enorme
Que es difícil morir de amor
Es más fácil vivir sufriendo
Como vivo sufriendo yo
Que es igual que vivir muriendo

Es Demasiado Tarde Para Mí­


Es Demasiado Tarde Para Mí
Composer(s): José Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Hace tiempo que olvidé tu nombre
todo el daño que sentí desapareció
de repente esta noche me llamas
y escucho en el teléfono tu voz
Me saludas mientras siento que lloras
y nerviosa me repites que me quieres ver
que me amas y te equivocaste
y no soportas más vivir con él
Amor, por qué no me dijiste eso ayer
por qué no me llamaste alguna vez
cuando necesitaba más de ti
Ya vez, la vida ha jugado contra ti
y ahora que das todo por volver
es demasiado tarde para mí
Mientras hablas mi mente se imagina
cada instante que te di al hacer el amor
cada hora que te tuve conmigo
creyendo que era el mundo de los dos
Sólo quedan unos cuantos recuerdos
que se mueren hoy en mí para no volver
y la promesa de llamarte mañana
sabiendo que jamás te llamaré
Amor, por qué no me dijiste eso ayer
por qué no me llamaste alguna vez
cuando necesitaba más de ti
Ya vez, la vida ha jugado contra ti
y ahora que das todo por volver
es demasiado tarde para mí
Sólo quedan unos cuantos recuerdos
que se mueren hoy en mí para no volver
y la promesa de llamarte mañana
sabiendo que jamás te llamaré
Amor, por qué no me dijiste eso ayer
por qué no me llamaste alguna vez
cuando necesitaba más de ti
Ya vez, la vida ha jugado contra ti
y ahora que das todo por volver
es demasiado tarde para mí
Amor, por qué no me dijiste eso ayer
por qué no me llamaste alguna vez
cuando necesitaba más de ti

I'll Be There (Charles Aznavour)


I'll Be There ((French & Italian Versions: Ça Passe (by Charles Aznavour); Poi Passa (by Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



I’ll be there
When all this hurt has gone from me
I’ll be there
When you are just a memory
I’ll be there
Beyond the ridge of heart break
Beyond its winter chill
Believe me
I’ll be there still

I’ll be there
The storm and shadow come my way
I’ll be there
To see another summer day
I’ll be there
With all my grieve behind me
Will love again may find me?
I’ll be there
Allthough I feel defeated now
I’ll be there
And if I still feel cheated now
I’ll be there
For those our songs completed now
I’ll sit on
I’ll claim on

I’ll be there
I live to fight another day
I’ll be there
I’ve got to make it all the way
And be there
No matter what the world may say
I’ll hold on
I’ll stay on
I’ll play on
And someday I’ll learn to say to someone new
I love you
I love you

I’ll be there
Though I may suffer on my way
I’ll be there
To live and laugh for one more day
And be there
No matter what the world may say
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

I’ll be there
Though I may suffer on my way
I’ll be there
To live and laugh for one more day
And be there .....

Es Demasiado Tarde


Es Demasiado Tarde
Composer(s): Ana Gabriel Performer(s): Ana Gabriel and multiple other artists



Tú, quisiste estar allá
dijiste que quizá, ese era tu destino
después que todo te fallo, hoy quieres regresar
y ser feliz conmigo

Pero tu, no piensas que mi amor
por siempre te olvido, y exiges mi cariño
de veras lo siento no podré
volverme a enamorar
de ti ya no es lo mismo

Solo espero que entiendas que un amor
se debe de cuidar y no jugar con nadie
porque yo te daba mi querer y aun sin merecer
no te dolió dejarme

Ahora vuelves, buscando mi calor
diciendo que jamas lograste olvidarme
pero yo te aclaro de una vez
lo debes de entender
es demasiado tarde

Yo no te guardo rencor
pero tampoco amor, de ti ya nada queda
no niego fue mucho mi dolor
pero eso ya paso
mejor ya nunca vuelvas

Solo espero que entiendas que un amor
se debe de cuidar y no jugar con nadie
porque yo te daba mi querer y aun sin merecer
no te dolió dejarme

Ahora vuelves, buscando mi calor
diciendo que jamas lograste olvidarme
pero yo te aclaro de una vez
lo debes de entender
es demasiado tarde

Porque tu, quisiste estar allá

Errol Flynn


Errol Flynn
Composer(s): Gordon Hunt - Amanda McBroom Performer(s): Amanda McBroom and multiple other artists



In a hall, on a wall, in a house in Rosita
A poster's held up by two nails and a pin
It's her Daddy, the actor, 'bout to die with his boots on
He's the man standing up there, beside Errol Flynn

He got third or fourth billing at the end of each picture
"And that don't mean much", he would say with a grin
But he'd hold her hand tight as he pointed his name out
Only four or five names down below Errol Flynn

Fame, it is fleeting and stars, they keep falling
And staying right up there, that's the business of art
And luck kisses some and she passes by others
Disappointment and bourbon are hard on the heart

Oh, the women and beers, and the years with old Errol
They took their toll, they took her from his side
And he kissed her goodbye at the old Union Station
It's the last time she saw him, the last time she cried

Now she's sitting alone in that house in Rosita
Watchin' the Late Show as the moonlight shines in
And up on the screen, yippee, here comes her Daddy
It's a sad, funny feeling, now she's older than him

Oh, you daddies and daughters, you sons and your mothers
Remember life's over before it begins
Love one another and stand close together
As close as her Dad stood to old Errol Flynn

Fame, it is fleeting, and stars, they keep falling
And staying right up there, that's the business of art
And luck kisses some and she passes by others
Disappointment and bourbon are hard on the heart

Oh, you daddies and daughters, you sons and your mothers
Life seems to be over before it begins
Love one another and stand close together
As close as her Dad stood to old Errol Flynn

I'll Be The One


I'll Be The One
Composer(s): Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; Jim Conroy



Tired of seeing some play thing acting like a toy
Tired of watching some fool trying to be your boy
And I don't like being the one seeing you in tears
Standing in the shadows staring out at love again

But I'll be the one

I'm the one reminding you that you've got a choice
I'm the one to let you know that I hear your voice
Time and again I catch you smiling from within
But standing empty hearted standing in the wings again

I'll be the one

Now I can't be the one to catch you everytime you fall
I ain't the one to answer everytime you call
But maybe I'm gonna to be the one
One to see you through it all

Errol
Composer(s): Glen McDonough - James Reyne Performer(s): Australian Crawl; James Reyne



Convict state
It just don't rate
He want to get higher
Apple Isle, the inbred smile
He's going to get by'a
His mother's hand
He could not stand
He left for the islands
To fish and hunt
He take a punt
The New Guinea Highlands

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him

He had to go
The Sirocco
He's sailin the high seas
Hollywood, Captain Blood
He's billing the Nazi's
Took a rebel stand
Contraband
Coast of Mexico
He want to pounce
Like an animal
To girls he just can't say no

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him

He had them all
Screamin for more
He play the wild scene
Ah scandalise, no compromise
He's down on his knees
Swashbuckling
He was the King
The toast of Tinseltown
They build him up
They took it all
And then they just cut him down

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him

First performance by: Tamara - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small café, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

Just a kiss, just a smile
Hold my hand, baby

True love makes me know I won't forget you
When you're around me, it makes me feel
Life is worth living, baby, love is so forgiving!

Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)


Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)
Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill



You could hear the hoof beats pound
as they raced across the ground
And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round
And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest
His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue
She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22
They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic
But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week

They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart"
And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart
He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best"
She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest"

That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man
Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread
And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head

She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right
You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night"
He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way
And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door
It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four
And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course
And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse

Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr)
And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west

Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand
He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man"
"Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied
"And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side"

Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun
They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun
But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned
And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand

Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart
And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart
And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die
And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky
Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned
And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land

But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted
But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed
Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate?
Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?

They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
