Piero E Cinzia


Piero E Cinzia
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti



Cinzia cantava le sue canzoni
e si scriveva i versi sul diario per sentirli veri
e proprio nell'ora di religione
quando tutto il mondo sembra buono, anche il professore
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
Piero suonava solo la musica reggae
e i suoi capelli erano serpenti neri di medusa Marley
sposati di fretta e con un figlio in arrivo
un figlio nuovo di zecca da crescere bene
partirono insieme, destinazione san Siro
con tutto quello che avevano in tasca, un indirizzo sicuro
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
E si che Milano quel giorno era Giamaica
con quelle palme immense sulle strade vuote, e 41 all'ombra
e quando gli idranti spararono sul cielo
qualcuno disse 'guarda verso il palco, c'e' l'arcobaleno'
e venne la notte da centomila fiammelle
la musica correva come un filo su tutta la mia pelle
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
e lo stadio era pieno, Cinzia il suo veleno
dai Cinzia torna a casa, dai Cinzia torna a casa

Jack In The Box


Jack In The Box
First performance by: Clodagh Rodgers - 1971



Stop - don't say you'll put me down
Love - don't go away
Drop my feet back on the ground
Open your arms, let me stay

Hold me like you know you should
Don't leave me on the shelf
Like a doll you throw away
So sad and lonely all by myself

I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I'd do anything

Who just keeps my heart around?
Loves to pull the strings?
You - and when it's upside down
Look at the way that it swings

I can't help the way I feel
It's you and no one else
Comes the tune, but all too soon
I'm just a doll put back on the shelf

I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I'd do anything

La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la la la la...

Hey, hear what I say
You'll find someday that I walked away from you
So say I've got to stay
And from today it's love that's gonna break through

I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
You know whenever love knocks
I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I'm just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I'd do anything

Hey hey...

Piénsalo Bien


Piénsalo Bien
Composer(s): Agustín Lara
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
and various other artists



Piénsalo bien mulata, piénsalo bien
mira que mi alma se atormenta sin tu amor
Mira que sufro mira cómo lloro
mira que solamente Dios sabe lo que paso yo

Di que tus rosales florecieron para mí
dame la sonrisa que dibuja la esperanza
dime que no te perdí, dame el sosiego del alma

Ven que mi cabaña con la luna pintaré
contando las horas de la noche esperaré
Piensa mujer que te quiero de veras
piénsalo, piénsalo bien

Piensa mujer que te quiero de veras
piénsalo, piénsalo bien

Sixty Forty


Sixty Forty
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico; Human Drama



Will there be another time
Will there be another time
Another year, another wish to stay?

Will there be another time
Will there be another time
Another year, another wish to stay?

When the evening light wants to be so bright
And the morning sound is out of sight
Can there be another word to say
Or do we have to give it all away?

Many moons have to be found
At certain times you'll hear them pound
You can hear the hell bells praying

Many moons have to be found
At certain times you'll hear them pound
You can hear the hell bells praying

It is for granted hear their saying
We are all enchanted staying
Focussing on running down the drain
When those tears are carved inside your brain

New York Lower East Side fame
In a golden circle game
New York Lower East Side frame
New York Lower East Side fame
In a golden circle game
New York Lower East Side frame
Standing everywhere around
The fastest way to be found
At least I've given it away
To keep it only would have made me stay

Will there be another time?
Will there be another time?

Piénsalo


Piénsalo
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Llegará una vez que nuestro amor
No sea tan intenso como es hoy
Que tu corazón no tiemble igual
Con este gran amor que te doy
Llegará una vez que tu ilusión por este amor
La llegues a perder, piénsalo
Piénsalo puede suceder
Piénsalo, piénsalo, puede suceder
Todo termina algún día en el amor
Nada es eterno jamás
Si ayer sin mi amor no vivías
Mañana te puede sobrar
Piénsalo, piénsalo, puede suceder
Piénsalo, piénsalo, puede suceder
Llegará una vez que sentirás
Tan sólo indiferencia por mi amor
Y te besaré y no hallarás
En estos labios míos emoción
Llegará una vez que oirás mi voz
Igual que en el invierno oyes llover
Piénsalo, piénsalo, es la realidad
Piénsalo, piénsalo es la realidad

Pomme, Pomme, Pomme


Pomme, Pomme, Pomme
Composer(s): Pierre Cour; Hubert Giraud
First performance by: Monique Melsen - 1971



Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Tapis, tapis rouge
Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Moi, je vais croquer la pomme
Pomme, pomme et puis
Quand j'aurai fini
Je recommencerai

Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Tapis, tapis vert
Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Il paraît que dans la pomme
Pomme, pomme, il y a
Des tas de pépins
Tant pis, je verrai bien

Ho ho, c'est le printemps
C'est le printemps
Et je n'ai pas encore vingt ans

Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Tapis, tapis bleu
Bleu, bleu comme le ciel
Avant de croquer la pomme
Pomme, pomme d'api
Je voudrais savoir
Ce qu'il y a dedans

Est-ce que c'est l'amour
Le prince charmant
Au milieu des bois
Qui est caché dans la pomme
Pomme, pomme? Dis-moi
Est-ce que c'est l'amour
L'amour ou le serpent?

Ho ho, en attendant
C'est le printemps
Et je n'ai pas encore vingt ans

Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Tapis, tapis blanc
Si c'est le serpent
Je n'ai pas mangé
Ma pomme, pomme, pomme dorée
Et j'ai tout l'été
Pour courir dans les prés

Pomme, pomme, pomme jolie
Tapis, tapis gris
Mais si c'est l'amour
Je lui dirai tout bas "Viens
Viens, viens chez moi
Viens, je t'attendais
Viens, je comptais les jours"

Ho ho, c'est le printemps
C'est le printemps
Et je n'ai pas encore vingt ans

Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Tapis, tapis rouge
Pomme, pomme, pomme d'api
Moi, je vais croquer la pomme
Pomme, pomme et puis
Quand j'aurai fini
Je recommencerai

Ho ho, c'est le printemps
Ho ho, c'est le printemps

Piel Canela


Piel Canela
Composer(s): Bobby Capo
Performer(s): Raphael



Que se quede el infinito sin estrellas
O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad
Pero el negro de tus ojos que no muera
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual
Si perdiera el arco iris su belleza
Y las flores su perfume y su color
No sería tan inmensa mi tristeza
Como aquella de quedarme sin tu amor
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
Y nadie más que tú, y tú, y tú
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
Y nadie más que tú
Ojos negros, piel canela
Que a mí llegan hasta desesperar
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
Y solamente tú, y tú, y tú, y tú
Me importas tú, y tú, y tú
Y nadie más que tú

Sixteen Tons


Sixteen Tons
Composer(s): Merle Travis
First release by: Merle Travis - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1956 - Seize Tonnes
1986 - L'ascensore



Some people say man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the store-boss said the "Well-a bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
Cain't no a high-tone woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't git ya, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Piedra Y Camino


Piedra Y Camino
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto;
and various other artists



Del cerro vengo bajando
camino y piedra
tengo enrredada en el alma, vida
una tristeza

Me acusas de no quererte
no digas eso
tal vez no comprendas nunca, vida
por que me alejo

Es mi destino
piedra y camino
de un sueño lejano y bello
soy peregrino

Por mas que la dicha
vivo penando
y cuando debo quedarme, vida
me voy andando

A veces soy como el rio
llego cantando
sin que nadie lo sepa, vida
me voy llorando

Seize Tonnes


Seize Tonnes
(Adapted from: Sixteen Tons - 1947)
(Italian Version: L'ascensore - 1986)
Composer(s): Merle Travis; Jacques Larue
Performer(s): Armand Mestral - 1956
and multiple other artists



Si l'homme est de la boue pour des tas de gens
Il est pour moi fait de chair et de sang
De muscles de fer et d'un coeur trop bon
Et de deux épaules pour charger le charbon

T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi?
Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?

Quand ta mère a déjà cinq gosses à nourrir
Un de plus n'est pas pour lui faire plaisir
Alors toi, tu bosses comme un lion
Mais le chef a beau dire que t'es un champion

T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi?
Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?

Quand pendant toute la semaine, tu t'crèves en bas
L'dimanche enfin, tout le ciel est à toi
Et dans tes draps blancs, dès ton réveil,
Les yeux de ta femme sont comme des soleils

T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi?
Un jour enfin où tu peux croire à la joie
La pelle chaque jour qui prendra plus de poids
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?

Piedad Señor


Piedad Señor
Composer(s): Aurora M. Segura; Mario Molina Montes
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Señor, de tu gran poder
piedad vengo a suplicar
De hinojos estoy postrado ante tu altar
Señor oye mi oración

No voy a pedir de ti la gloria de un nuevo amor
te vengo a rogar me ayudes a olvidar
aquél que mi fe mató

Envía sobre mí un manto grueso y gris
que cubra mi dolor
Después mándame dolor

Mi error tengo que pagar
pero hoy, por caridad
ayúdame a olvidar
Señor, bórrame su amor
Señor, hazlo por piedad
¡Piedad!, Señor

L'ascensore


L'ascensore
(Adapted from: Sixteen Tons - 1947)
(French Version: Seize Tonnes - 1956)
Composer(s): Merle Travis; Depsa
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1986



Appena fui al mondo mi ritrovai
in un grattacielo più alto che mai
e poi per istinto o quello che fu
mi misi in fila per salire lassù
e l' ascensore partì ed ero con gli altri
tra i bimbi di un colore che è diverso dal mio

ognuno una speranza dentro se
chissà la in cima il sole che c' è
e arrivai al primo piano non lo so come fu
mi accorsi che invidiavano la mia gioventù
nell'ascensore entrò un uomo e sparò
e i miei primi sogni lui già me li rubò
ragazzi andiamo su saliamo perchè
in cima al grattacielo tutto meglio è
il mondo ci appartiene siam figli suoi

qui non c' ha posto chi ride di noi
ed un bel giorno vidi entrar lei
di quel suo sorriso io mi innamorai
salire fino in cima con me vorrà
legati insieme con due anelli o un destino a metà
e ancora oggi io continuo a star su
e i piani che ho salito non li conto più
son stati belli o brutti lo rifarei
il viaggio organizzato per noi
e qui sale gente della mia stessa età

e già lo sanno tutti che qualcosa non va
non hanno nuove speranze non credono più
presto chiamate l'ascensore che è andato lassù

Pieces Of My Life


Pieces Of My Life
Composer(s): Troy Seals
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



Water glass full of whisky
Women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

I don't know how it started
That's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothin'
Tryin' to forget the rest

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord, away, away

Playin' the bars, playin' like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I've found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Lord, away, away

Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you... and you know who

Lookin' back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life
God help me find the pieces

Un Jardin Sur La Terre


Un Jardin Sur La Terre
First performance by: Serge Lama - 1971



À force de courir pour ne rien découvrir
De n'être aventurier que dans ses souvenirs
De faire des voyages comme on fait des affaires
Et perdre sa jeunesse comme on gagne une guerre
On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important
Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps

Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu
Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus
Un jardin sur la Terre pour qu'une fille ait son coeur
Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur
Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie
De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit
Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure
Un jardin sur la Terre, n'est-ce pas le bonheur?

À force de vouloir vivre à deux pour la vie
Au point de s'accoupler avec n'importe qui
De faire de son lit plusieurs champs de bataille
Collectionnant les coeurs à défaut de médailles
On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important
Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps

Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu
Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus
Un jardin sur la Terre pour cultiver son coeur
Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur
Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie
De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit
Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure
Donnez-moi un jardin sur la Terre

Pieces Of Mind


Pieces Of Mind
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce



Pieces of mind
See how they ran
Prizes of sun
Still to be won
When the life is made of straw
Waves that pound against the door
Leave me at the place of / throw it away / throw it away

Leave it today
Keep me dancing stop me grasping
Clouds that turn the dust on touching
Times I'm so far from / what I want

So much the same
Living in games
Pieces of cake
Until they break apart
They say the plane that comes to pass never rhymes
Now it burns on grass too steep to climb

Best of friends
Until the flowers end
Mines have taken their place
Darkness in their face
Now the golden coach is here
Can you cure me of the fear
Should I move into the clear
Find a time in which I / throw it away / get out today

Keep me singing stop me clutching
Rooms that turn to dust on clutching
Times I'm so far from / what I want

Merry-go-round
In a town without sound
Wings for hire
From the church with no choir
The burning ship is sailing
It will not leave without me
throw it way / get out today

Get out today
Keep me singing stop me clutching
Rooms that turn to dust on leaving
Times I'm so far from / what I want

Pieces Of Ice


Pieces Of Ice
Composer(s): M. Jordan; J. Capek
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Walking blind across this silver room
Looking through a smoke menagerie
Looking at your face inside of me
In the darkness you're Tunisia

Nights are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes

Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice

Where the zebra lightning strikes the room
Foreign words are strutted through the gloom
Women swooping down like birds of prey
Never close but never far away

Night are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes

Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice

En Un Mundo Nuevo


En Un Mundo Nuevo
Composer(s): T. Luz - R. Trabucchelli First performance by: Karina - 1971



Sólo al final del camino, las cosas claras verás
la razón de vivir y el porqué de mil cosas más
Al mirar hacia atrás, cuando llegues comprenderás

Busca las cosas sencillas y encontrarás la verdad
La verdad de ese amor, lo demás déjalo pasar
Solamente el amor con el tiempo no morirá

Al fin del camino se harán realidad los sueños que llevas en ti
si en todo momento en tu caminar
la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

Al fin del camino podrás encontrar el bien que esperaste sentir
olvida el pasado, pues no volverá
conserva el amor que hay en ti

Al fin del camino habrá un despertar de nuevo volver a vivir
si en todo momento en tu caminar
la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
en un mundo nuevo y feliz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Papara papapa papara papa… papara papa parara…
Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Pieces Of April


Pieces Of April
Composer(s): Dave Loggins
Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists



April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers
And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours
We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed
We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain
we would laugh it off

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossemed green
Feelings as I did in April, not really knowing what it means
But it must be ther that youstand beside me now to make me feel this way
Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes)


Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes)
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



Early in the morning when the dew is on
Each and every rose bud, you will find me gone
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name

Seven lonely hours on a morning train
Take me to a place where I won't come back again
Seven lonely Pullmans speeding down the line
Takin' me away from an old love of mine

Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines
In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines
Where the fish swim up and down and the sparklin' waters falls
Where the thunder roll and the lonely puma calls

Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
Then forget so I won't remember you at all
