Ha Roto El Alba


Ha Roto El Alba
(Adapted from: Morning Has Broken - 1971)
(German Version: Schön Ist Der Morgen)
Composer(s): Eleanor Farjeon; Efraín Herrera Hanson



Ha roto el alba cual la primera
Ha hablado urraca, ave inicial
Loores al canto, loores al alba
y a su principio trascendental

Dulce la lluvia, iluminada
como el rocío crepuscular
Loores al bello huerto mojado
donde el Divino deleita andar

Mía es el alba, mío este día
natos de luces que vio el Edén
Loores alegres, loores al alba
¡nueva jornada de Dios, amén!

Como Um Samba De Adeus


Como Um Samba De Adeus
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Gal Costa



Quanto tempo
Mina d’água do meu canto
Manso
Piano e voz
Vento
Campo
Dentro
Antro
Onde reside o lamento
Preto
Da minha voz
Tanto
Tempo
Como nunca mais, eu penso
Como samba de adeus
Com que jeito acenar
O meu lenço
Branco
Quanto tempo
Pode durar um espanto
Onde lançar a voz
Tempo
Tanto

H.O.

H.O.
Composer(s): J.L. Borges; Pedro Aznar
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



En cierta calle hay cierta firme puerta
Con su timbre y su número preciso
Y un sabor a perdido paraíso,
Que en los atardeceres no está abierta
A mi paso
Cumplida la jornada
Una esperada voz me esperaría
En la disgregación de cada día
Y en la paz de la noche enamorada
Esas cosas no son
Otra es mi suerte
Las vagas horas, la memoria impura
El abuso de la literatura
Y en el confín la no gustada muerte
Sólo esa piedra quiero
Sólo pido
Las dos abstractas fechas y el olvido

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
Ev'ry rose is covered with dew
And while the world is waiting for the sunrise
And my heart is calling you

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
Every little rose bud is covered with dew
And my heart is calling you
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you

Como Un Lobo


Como Un Lobo Composer(s): Giorgio Vanni - Michael Ogletree - Miguel Bosé Performer(s): Miguel Bosé and multiple other artists



Parece que
El miedo ha conquistado
tus ojos negros
profundos y templados
¿Qué va a ser de tí? ¿qué va a ser de tí?
Panteras son
vigilan mi destierro
me he condenado
y en ellos yo me encierro
¿Qué va a ser de mí? ¿qué va a ser de mí?
Miénteme y dí que no estoy loco
Miénteme y dí que sólo un poco
quién teme ... quién teme dí... si yo me
pierdo
Mi corazón
salvaje y estepario
lamo poemas caídos de tus labios
¿Que va a ser de mí? ¿que va a ser de tí?
Tu pecho es
tan cruel como bendito
tu cuerpo en fin
Babel y laberinto
¿Qué va a ser de mí? ¿qué va a ser de tí?
Miénteme y dí que no estoy loco
Miénteme y dí que sólo un poco
Miénteme y dí que no estoy loco
Miénteme y dí...
Mil años pasarán
y el duende de tu nombre
de luna en luna irá
aullando fuerte woh! woh! woh!
Miénteme y dí que no estoy loco
Miénteme y dí que sólo un poco
Y como un lobo voy detras de tí
paso a paso tu huella he de seguir
y como un lobo voy detras de tí
paso a paso... paso a paso...

It's lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right

The World Is A Ghetto


The World Is A Ghetto
Composer(s): Howard Scott - B.B. Dickerson - Lonnie Jordan - Harold Brown - Papa Dee Allen - Charles Miller - Lee Oskar
First release by: War - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

There's no need to search anywhere
Happiness is here, have your share
If you know you're loved, be secure
Paradise is love to be sure

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Como Un Gondolier


Como Un Gondolier
Composer(s): M. De la Calva; R. Arcusa; Miguel Gallardo; C. Toro
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Mi vida se parece, al alma de Venecia
y al corazón de un gondolier
viendo pasar amores, que quisiera alcanzarlos
y que quizás jamás tendré
Regalando a la noche, y a los enamorados
mi vida en cada canción
envidiando en el fondo, a esos locos amantes
que se dan todo por amor
Así vivo yo, y así viviré
velando en silencio, amores ajenos
como un gondolier
Así vivo yo, y así seguiré
creando en el fondo, sueños para otros
como un gondolier
Navego por canales, en góndolas de plata
que inventa mi imaginación
cantando a las parejas, historias de sus vidas
escritas con el corazón
A cambio tengo todo, o al menos no me quejo
pero lo tengo que pagar
la vida no perdona, te empuja hasta la cima
a cambio de la soledad
Así vivo yo, y así viviré
velando en silencio, amores ajenos
como un gondolier
Así vivo yo, y así seguiré
creando en el fondo, sueños para otros
como un gondolier
Así vivo yo, y así viviré
velando en silencio, amores ajenos
como un gondolier
Así vivo yo, y así seguiré
creando en el fondo, sueños para otros
como un gondolier

Habanera (Nathalie Choquette)


Habanera
Composer(s): Georges Bizet
Performer(s): Nathalie Choquette; and various other artists



L'Amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
S'il lui convient de refuser
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère
Il n'a rien dit; mais il me tient
L'Amour est un oiseau rebelle
L'Amour
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
L'Amour
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
L'Amour
S'il lui convient de refuser
L'Amour
L'Amour est enfant de Bohême
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
(Prends garde à toi)
Si tu ne m'aime pas si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
(Prends garde à toi)
Mais si je t'aime si je t'aime prends garde à toi!

The World I Used To Know


The World I Used To Know
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists



Some day some old familiar rain will come along and know my name
And then my shelter will be gone and I'll have to move along
But 'till I do I'll stay awhile and track the hidden country of your smile

Some day the man I use to be will come along and call on me
And then because I'm just a man, you'll find my feet are made of sand
But 'till that time I'll tell you lies and charter hidden bound'ries of your eyes

Some day the world I use to know will come along and bid me go
Then I'll be leaving you behind for love is just a state of mind
But 'till that day I'll be your man and love away your troubles if I can
And 'till that day I'll be your man and love away your troubles if I can

Como Tu Quieres


Como Tu Quieres
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Me voy, porque no soy, como tu quieres
me siguen demasiado las mujeres
tratando de envolverme en sus quereres

Me voy, porque no puedo vivir a tu manera
mi alma se siente prisionera, al ver que tu te encelas
con cualquiera

Pero no quiere decir, que no eres primero aquí en mi alma
primero aquí en mi ser, y también en mi corazón
No podré, no podré, volver contigo, como tu quieres

Me voy, porque no puedo vivir, con tus reproches
me siento tan culpable por las noches, al ver que
tu no me perdonas, eyyy

Pero no quiere decir, que no eres primero aquí en mi alma
primero aquí en mi ser, y también en mi corazón
No podré, no podré, volver contigo, como tu quieres

Me voy, porque no soy, como tu quieres
me siguen demasiado las mujeres
tratando de envolverme en sus quereres
y por eso me voy, eyyy
y por eso me voy, mmm
y por eso me voy, eyyy, eyyyy
me voy....

The Working Man


The Working Man
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival



Well, I was born on a Sunday; On Thursday I had me a job
I was born on a Sunday; By Thursday I was workin' out on the job
I ain't never had no day off since I learned right from wrong

Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head
And poppa threw me out, ooh, said, "I gotta earn my own way"

I ain't never been in trouble
I ain't got the time
I don't mess around with magic, child
What I got is mine

Whatever you say, Lord, well, that's what I'm gonna do
Whatever you say, well, that's what I'm gonna do
'Cause I'm the Working Man, Lord, and I do the job for you

I ain't never been in trouble
I ain't got the time
I don't mess around with magic, child
What I got is mine

Every Friday, well, that's when I get paid
Don't take me on Friday, Lord, 'cause that's when I get paid
Let me die on Saturday night, ooh, before Sunday gets my head

Como Todos


Como Todos
Performer(s): Nino Bravo



Si yo nací... como todos nacemos
llorando, llorando
si yo crecí... como todos crecemos
jugando, jugando
si yo viví como todos
soñando, soñando
y conseguí lo que tengo
luchando, luchando

Por qué no puedo encontrar un amor
como tú o como aquel
si yo soy igual
por qué no puedo obtener felicidad
por qué no puedo encontrar un amor
como tú o como aquel
si yo soy igual

Si yo nací... como todos nacemos
llorando, llorando
si yo crecí... como todos crecemos
jugando, jugando
si yo viví como todos
soñando, soñando
y conseguí lo que tengo
luchando, luchando

Por qué no puedo encontrar un amor
como tú o como aquel
si yo soy igual
por qué no puedo obtener felicidad
Por qué no puedo encontrar un amor
como tú o como aquel
si yo soy igual

(Heart) Stop Calling Her Name

(Heart) Stop Calling Her Name
Composer(s): Kaufman; Travis; Harris
Performer(s): Ron Dante



Heart stop calling her name
Heart stop playin' this game
She doesn't love you anymore

I'm tryin' to lead a life of my own now
But you don't wanna let me alone now
You keep reminding me of her kiss
But How can I go on like this?

Heart stop calling her name
Heart stop playin' this game
She doesn't love you anymore

I wanna go out and enjoy the sights
I wanna forget about those lonely nights
I wanna meet and love someone new
But I can't because of you

Heart stop calling her name
Heart stop playin' this game
She doesn't love you anymore

Heart stop beatin' so fast
you knew it wouldn't last
She doesn't love you anymore

The Work Song (Maria Muldaur)


The Work Song
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur



Back before the blues were blues
When the good old songs were new
Songs that may no longer please us
'Bout the darkies, A-bout Jesus
Mississippi minstrels, the color of molasses
Strumming on their banjos to entertain their massahs
Some said garbage, some said art
You couldn't call it soul
You had to call it heart

Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds
The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds
Put mud in the stove and water in the cup
You work so hard you died standing up

Como Todo El Mundo


Como Todo El Mundo
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Yo hablo sencillo como todo el mundo
Puedo repetir
si hay alguien que no ha entendido bien

Me gusta enamorarme, y, como todo el mundo, salgo
por la puerta que da al fondo de las casas
Procuro no pisar flores
cruzo por las esquinas de la calle
y saludo si me quieren saludar
No tengo aún despertador, pero ya lo tendré
-mientras que me despierten los vecinos-
Debajo de la almohada no escondo armas de hielo
que ni en sueños he aprendido a disparar

Yo hablo sencillo, como todo el mundo
Puedo repetir
si hay alguien que no ha entendido bien

Me gusta casablanca, tambien el chocolate
y fumar cuando termino de comer
Me gusta la cerveza fría, que no haya ruido si trabajo
y aún me gustaría patinar
Prefiero andar en ropa de la calle, porque
así puedo juntarme a las aceras mejor
Me gustan las peliculas de Bergman
los poemas de Vallejo
y las canciones de Pablo Milanés

Yo hablo sencillo, como todo el mundo
Puedo repetir
si hay alguien que no ha entendido bien

Room At The Cross For You


Room At The Cross For You
Composer(s): Ira F. Stanphill
Performer(s): The Cathedrals; Randy Travis



The cross upon which Jesus died
Is a shelter in which we can hide
And its grace so free is sufficient for me
And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea

There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Tho millions have come
There's still room for one
Yes, there's room at the cross for you

Tho millions have found Him a friend
And have turned from the sins they have sinned
The Savior still waits to open the gates
And welcomes a sinner before it's too late

There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Tho millions have come
There's still room for one
Yes, there's room at the cross for you

The hand of my Savior is strong
And the love of my Savior is long
Through sunshine or rain, through loss or in gain
The blood flows from Calvary to cleanse every stain

There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Tho millions have come
There's still room for one
Yes, there's room at the cross for you

The Work Song (Jim MacDonald)


The Work Song
Composer(s): Mack David - Al Hoffman - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Jim MacDonald



Cinderella, Cinderella
All I hear is Cinderella, from the moment I get up
till shades of night are falling
There isn't any letup, I hear them calling, calling
"Go up and do the attic and go down and do the cellar, you can do them
both together
Cinderella."
How lovely it would be
if I could live in my fantasy
But in the middle of my dreaming
they're screaming
at me
Cinderella
