Hello Mary Lou


Hello Mary Lou
French Title: Bye Bye Mon Amour Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Rick Nelson



You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

Chorus:
I said "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"

I saw your lips I heard your voice
believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night
My arms about good an' tight
That's all I had to see for me to say

Hay Quien Precisa


Hay Quien Precisa
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Los años pasan, sí, la vida no
el mundo estalla hermoso alrededor
Si el corazón mortal me deja de latir
en ese instante hay quien saltó a vivir

Los años pasan, sí, el fuego no
el fuego volverá en los hijos del sol
si el pecho se apagó, por un soplo senil
el gran incendio acudirá en cien mil

Hay quien precisa una canción de amor
hay quien precisa un canto de amistad
hay quien precisa remontarse al sol
para cantar la mayor libertad

Hay quien precisa una canción de paz
hay quien precisa el canto de un fusil
hay quien precisa una evidencia más
para tener la razón de vivir

Los años pasan, sí, lo bello está
lo bello está invitando a irlo a tomar
Si el sueño envejeció, fue triste para él
lo bello nunca más será de aquel

Spiegelbeeld


Spiegelbeeld
(Adapted from: Tender Years - 1961)
(French Version: Tes Tendres Années - 1963)
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - Gerrit den Braber
Performer(s): Willeke Alberti - 1963



Spiegelbeeld vertel eens even
Ben ik heus zo oud als jij
Is het waar, ben ik twintig
Is m'n tienertijd voorbij
'k Ben wel jong maar ik ben toch niet zo jong meer als ik was
'k Ging zo graag nog een keertje
Terug naar de klas (naar de kla-ha-has)

Spiegelbeeld 'k kan je haten
Want je geeft geen dag terug
Waarom gaan toch die jaren
Als je jong bent zo vlug
'k Ben wel jong maar er is toch al zoveel herinnering
Spiegelbeeld uit al die jaren
Vergeet ik geen ding (geen di-hi-hing)

Spiegelbeeld m'n eerste vriendje
Was een joch zo oud als ik
'k Kreeg van hem m'n eerste zoentje
't Was een heerlijk ogenblik
'k Ben wel jong maar dat zou ik nog zo graag eens overdoen
Quick quick slow, de eerste dansles
Wat was ik nog groen
'k Heb alleen nog wat foto's en die zeggen 't me weer
't Is voorbij, m'n eerste baljurk
Die draag ik niet mee-he-heer (niet mee-he-heer)

Hello Ma! I Done It Again


Hello Ma! I Done It Again
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
Orquesta Martin DeLaRosa; Leo Reisman; Bea Wain



Hello Ma! I done it again
I got the funniest yen
And before I knew it
I was in somebody's arms

Y'know ma, how gentlemen are
He took me out in his car
And before I knew it
We were surrounded by farms.

Then we spoke of the drought
And we chatted about his old uncle Ben
Then he asked for a kiss
And I gave him a kiss and then-then

Hello ma! I done it again
I got the funniest yen
And before I knew it my heart said do it
And I fell in love again

Hay Que Bailar Reggae


Hay Que Bailar Reggae
French Title: Il Faut Danser Reggae
Composer(s): J. Ballesteros; Toto Cutugno;
Charles Level; Minellono; Domenico Modugno
Performer(s): Dalida



Perdida en una isla muy lejos de la gran ciudad
Que calor, que calor
Tumbada en una playa de fina arena y blanca sal
Bajo el sol, bajo el sol
La musica me lleva y creo estar allá en un rincon faliz y tropical

Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer
Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel
Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré
Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré

El tiempo es todo nuestro el viento trae felicidad
A tu amor a mi amor
La luna nos sonmíé con cara de complicidad
Corazon, corazon
La musica me lleva y creo estar allá
En un rincon feliz y tropical

Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer
Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel
Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré
Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré

Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer
Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel
Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré
Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré

Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer
Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré

Tes Tendres Années


Tes Tendres Années
(Adapted from: Tender Years - 1961)
(Dutch Version: Spiegelbeeld - 1963)
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - Ralph Bernet
Performers(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1963



Tu me dis que tu l'aimes
Je sais oui tu dis vrai
Et pourtant moi je t'aime
Bien plus fort en secret
Un matin quand il partira
Quand tu pleureras
Dis-toi bien que tu vivais
Tes tendres années

Dans tes yeux la lumière
N'est là que pour lui
Le sais-tu la lumière
Ça n'est pas infini
De ne voir en lui qu'un espoir
Au jour des regrets
Dis-toi bien que tu vivais
Tes tendres années

Si mon cœur ne peut-être
Pour toi le premier
J'attendrai afin d'être
Dans ta vie le dernier
Je serai dans ton avenir
Loin des souvenirs
Pour te faire oublier
Tes tendres années

Oui je serai dans ton avenir
Loin des souvenirs
Pour te faire oublier
Tes tendres années

Hello Little Girl


Hello Little Girl
French Title: Hello Petite Fille
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



Hello little girl
Hello little girl
Hello little girl

When I see you everyday
I say: mm mm hello little girl
When you're passing on your way
I say: mm mm hello little girl
When I see you passing by
I cry mm mm hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye
I cry mm mm hello little girl

I send you flowers
but you don't care
You never seem to see
me standing there
I often wonder
what you're thinking of
I hope it's me
and love love love

So I hope there'll come a day
when you'll say: mm you're my little girl
It's not the first time
that it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
and it's funny funny to see
that I'm about to lose my mind

So I hope there'll come a day
when you say: mm mm
you're my little girl, mm mm mm
you're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, oh yeah
You're my little girl

Hay Otra Cancion


Hay Otra Cancion
Performer(s): Luis Alberto Spinetta & Fito Paez



Una canción
para viajar
lejos de todo
muy lejos de acá
una canción
me basta, me alcanza
Temo vivir
para pensar
sin un amor
que me pueda cambiar
la posición del alma
del alma
Vientos de un amor sin dirección
hacen que todo siga
Guardo un amor
en el placard
de vez en cuando lo llevo a pasear
en mi gabán de aire
en el aire
Para sentir
hay que flotar
como burbuja de aquí para allá
hay que saber qué pasa
que es lo qué realmente pasa
Y hay otra canción sin dirección
una señal en la oscuridad
significados de algún lugar
hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide
Vientos de amor sin dirección
hacen que todo tiempo feliz
ya no se dé sin tenerte aquí
hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide

Tender Years


Tender Years
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards
First release by: George Jones - 1961

Titles In Other Languages:
1963 - Spiegelbeeld
1963 - Tes Tendres Années



You keep saying you love him
I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter
How much I love you

But in time you'll understand, dear
When you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years (tender years)

In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that love light grow dim

You can just see the happiness
You can't see the tears
It's true, 'cause you're living
In your tender years (tender years)

So if I can't be your first love
I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future
To help you forget the past

And you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
'Cause I'll wait 'til you're through living
In your tender years (tender years)

Yes, you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait 'til you're through living
In your tender years... (tender years)...

Hello It's Me


Hello It's Me
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): Todd Rundgren



Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Hay Momentos De Amor


Hay Momentos De Amor
Composer(s): José Luis Perales
Performer(s): Raphael



Hay momentos felices que suelen pasar
Hay momentos amargos que suelen quedar
Dentro del corazón, presos en un rincón o en una lágrima
Hay momentos de amor que son palomas
Hay momentos de amor que se demoran
Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren llegar
Y se quedan rondando la puerta
Hay momentos de amor bajo la luna
Hay momentos de amor llenos de dudas
Y hay momentos de amor que no saben volar
Y se quedan rondando la puerta
Y se muere el sol
Hay miradas tan dulces que suelen pasar
Hay miradas de llanto que suelen quedar
Llenas de soledad, presas en un adiós o en una lágrima
Hay momentos de amor llenos de vida
Hay momentos de amor que te lastiman
Y hay momentos de amor que nos hacen temblar
Y que son la razón de la vida
Hay momentos de amor en el silencio
Hay momentos de amor que lleva el viento
Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren volar
Y se quedan temblando de miedo

Addicted To You


Addicted To You
Composer(s): Maki Kolehmainen - Janina Frostell - Tracy Lipp
First performance by: Laura - 2002



You don't know how I was then
All broken up, my pride was stolen
I lived a little lie, I wouldn't show the hurting inside

I was livin' in emptiness, I was out of love
Guard my heart, my wall was so high
You came in with all your confidence
You swept me away off the ground, you taught me to fly

Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind
If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside
How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you

Addicted to you, addicted to you
So addicted to you, I'm so addicted to you, oh...

Why couldn't this be simple?
We'd live just like the other people
Now that you're far away, my missing is a constant heartache

'Cause those sparkles back in my eyes
I wish I could stay just like this, don't want you to go
When you're far away, fantasize
That you're in my arms and I jump when I hear the phone

Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind
If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside
How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you

Addiction - it's hitting hard
Now it's got its hold
Oh... I can't let go

(Holding on until the next time,) I can't get you out of my mind
If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside
How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you

Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind
If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you

Hello In There


Hello In There
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine;
and various other artists



We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
And it'd been years since the kids had grown
A life of their own, left us alone

John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
And we lost Davy in the Korean War
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers get wilder every day
Old people just get lonesome
Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more
She sits and stares through the back door screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen

Some day I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at the factory
But what'll I say when he asks, "What's new?"
"Nothin'
What's with you?"
Nothin' much to do

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers get wilder every day
Old people just get lonesome
Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"

So if you're walkin' down the street some day
And spot some hollow, ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say "Hello in there, Hello"

Hay Algo En El Aire


Hay Algo En El Aire
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Hay algo en el aire
un fuerte olor a fuego
al fuego de la rabia y de la ira
que se devuelve contra las cenizas

Hay algo en el aire
un fuerte olor a estiércol
estiércol que destila la mentira
que respiramos todos cada día

Hay algo en el aire
un fuerte olor a miedo
a miedo que amenaza en cada esquina
a cada pensamiento, a cada vida

Spiders & Snakes


Spiders & Snakes
Composer(s): Jim Stafford - David Bellamy
First release by: Jim Stafford
Covered by multiple other artists



I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school
Well I said yes I do
She said I don't have to go right home
And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would
I said me too
And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole
And she said do what you want to do
Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log
And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you

Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime
I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool
Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again
She said I'll see you after school
I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile
So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess
Still looking for something to slip down her dress
And she said let's make it perfectly clear

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you

Hello Gringo

Hello gringo
Tu es là les bras en croix
Hello gringo
Oui mais c'était toi ou moi

Hello gringo
Cette fois-ci t'es pas si fier

Sur ta tête tournent en rond

Et ton âme, dis, gringo
Qui est-ce qui en voudra là-haut, hein
Même le diable
Même le diable en aura peur

Hello gringo
Oui c'est bien fini pour toi
Alors gringo
Comme j'ai pitié de toi

Oui juste avant de mourir
Quel est gringo
Oui ton tout dernier désir

Dis-moi gringo ton dernier désir c'est quoi
Un... un ricard
Salut gringo t'es mort heureux

Hawk-Eye


Hawk-Eye
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



(Hawkeye)

They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
All the fellows call me Hawkeye 'cause I never miss a trick
I can spot a pretty chick a mile away
One look and I can tell just how her lips are gonna taste
I know within a fraction what she measures in the waist
I know what's goin' on behind that twinkle in her eye
And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

I keep my eyes wide open
And my gas pony buggy to ride
And nearly every evenin'
There's a pretty kitten sittin' by my side

They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
It's the hawk that gets the highest flyin' chicken every time
Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree
But I can spot a doll and have her cuddled in my arms
Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms
I got her kiss before he even has a chance to try
And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

(Hawkeye)

(Hawkeye)

Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree

Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms

Never Let It Go


Never Let It Go
Composer(s): Marcos Ubeda
First performance by: Afro-dite - 2002



(Don't ever stop)
All right, girls
(Are you shakin'?)
Here we go

Surrounded by sharp lookin' eyes, dancin' in a fever
Forgettin' all the words of advise, movin' in and closer
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it's smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shakin', shakin'

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now

Blinded by the scent of your love, sailing on this feeling
And my mind is high up above, I don't know if I'm dreaming
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it's smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shakin', shakin'
(We'll be shakin')

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
(We will reach the top)
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shakin', shakin'

What a life we have, what a life we live
What a life we share, gonna get it there

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shakin', shakin'
(Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We'll be reachin' for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shakin', shakin'
(Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')

So never let it go, never stop
