Hello My Baby


Hello My Baby
Composer(s): Ida Emerson; Joseph E. Howard; Louis Singer
Performer(s): Phish; Benay Venuta



Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own

Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own

Hazme El Amor


Hazme El Amor
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo; C. Mole
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo;
and various other artists



Ves en mis ojos, una extraña expresión
un vacío infinito, y un profundo temor
Entre dos lunas, veo mi mente girar
una luna es la vida, otra luna la paz
Ilusiones, nada más
mariposas de cristal
que me llevan lejos de ti
... Pero, Hazme el amor, acaríciame
ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver
Pacto de sangre, teorema de amor
poesía en tu vientre, siempre fuimos los dos
Ilusiones, nada más
mariposas de cristal
que me llevan lejos de ti
... Pero, Hazme el amor, aprisióname
despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez
Hazme el amor, acaríciame
ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver
Hazme el amor, aprisióname
despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez
Hazme el amor, acaríciame
ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver
Hazme el amor, aprisióname
despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez

Spill The Wine


Spill The Wine
Composer(s): Thomas Allen - Howard Scott - Harold Brown - Morris Dewayne Dickerson Lee Oskar Levitin - Charles Miller - Leroy L. Jordan
First release by: Eric Burdon & War - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl

I was once out strolling, one very hot summer's day
when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest (Excuse me) in a big field with tall grass
I laid there in the sun, felt it caress my face as I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie (Places, everyone), and that I was the star (Three minutes, Mr. Polo)
This really blew my mind
the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired, weeping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie
There I was
I was taken to a place, the Hall of the Mountain King
I stood high upon a mountaintop, naked with the world in front of every kind of girl
There were strong ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones, black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle came a lady
She whispered in my ear, something crazy
She said

Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine
Spill the wine, dig that girl

I could feel the hot flame of fire roaring in my back as she disappeared
But soon, she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine; in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass, and raised it to her lips
and just before she drank, she said

Take the wine, take that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp)


Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp)
Composer(s): Allan Sherman
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh
Here I am at Camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining

I went hiking with Joe Spivy
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party

Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home, I hate Grenada
Don't leave me out in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with
other boys, oh please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day

Dearest fadduh, darling muddah
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if ya miss me
I will even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's better
Muddah Fadduh please disregard this letter

Hay Un Lugar


Hay Un Lugar
Composer(s): Agustin Belgrano; Ramos Prada;
José Miguel; Vera Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Hay un lugar, dentro de mi, donde el recuerdo quiere hablar
hablar de amor, hablar de ayer, de tantas cosas que callé
Hablar de ti, hablar de mi, de tantos sueños por hacer
de un ideal de libertad, sombras perdidas que olvidé
Quise triunfar, y al verme hoy, veo que en el tiempo se quedó
ese lugar, esa mujer, ese ideal y tal vez yo
Que ha pasado conmigo, dónde está aquel amigo
que luchó, pidiendo libertad
Que ha pasado conmigo, poco a poco he perdido
la inquietud, y tantas cosas más
Si envejecer, quiere decir, que la ilusión se queda atrás
quiero volver a ese lugar, donde el recuerdo me quiere hablar
Que ha pasado conmigo, dónde está aquel amigo
que luchó, pidiendo libertad
Que ha pasado conmigo, poco a poco he perdido
la inquietud, y tantas cosas más
Hay un lugar, dentro de mi
Hay un lugar, dentro de mi

Tell Me Who You Are


Tell Me Who You Are
Composer(s): Michael Ronson
First performance by: Malene - 2002



Morning light breaking darkness, bringing dawn on again
I can feel you are restless, I'm afraid for day to begin
You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free

Tell me who you are, show me what to do
Let me be the one that you hold on to
Open up your heart, let me look inside
Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide
So tell me who you are

Not a word, not a whisper, I'm confused, feelin' low
In my dreams - sweet surrender, through your arms - like a river I flow
You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free

Tell me who you are, show me what to do
Let me be the one that you hold on to
Open up your heart, let me look inside
Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide
So tell me who you... tell me who you are

You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free
Oh...

(Tell me who you are, show me what to do)
Tell me who you are
(Let me be the one that you hold on to)
Let me be the one you hold on to
(Open up your heart, let me look inside)
Open up your heart and let me look inside
(Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide)
Baby, we'll go wrong if you hide

Tell me who you are, show me what to do
Let me be the one that you hold on to
Open up your heart, let me look inside
Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide
So tell me who you are

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
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
