Wearin' O' The Green


Wearin' O' The Green
(Traditional)



"O Paddy dear, and did ye hear the news that's goin' round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep, his color can't be seen
For there's a cruel law ag'in the Wearin' o' the Green"

I met with Napper Tandy, and he took me by the hand
And he said, "How's poor old Ireland, and how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country that ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women there for the Wearin' o' the Green"

"So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red
Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed
And pull the shamrock from your hat, and throw it on the sod
But never fear, 'twill take root there, though underfoot 'tis trod

When laws can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow
And when the leaves in summer-time their color dare not show
Then I will change the color too I wear in my caubeen
But till that day, please God, I'll stick to the Wearin' o' the Green"

Acapulco Goldie


Acapulco Goldie
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show



(Hey play the guitars)
(I love to hear the guitars play)
(Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)

She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina
In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)
She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while
It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go
You said you'd always hold me
But you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)

I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta
I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)
Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila
Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)

Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?
You said you'd always hold me
But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold
Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh Goldie)
(How can you do these things to me?)
(Where's my gun?)
(Who took my gun?)
(On no, I don't feel good)
(I don't feel good babe)
(Start the guitars)
(Start the guitars)

Acapulco Gold


Acapulco Gold
Composer(s): T. Randazzo - V. Picke
Performer(s): Mason & Dixon



Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Everybody tells me the sun is shining there
Lots of groovy people everywhere
We don't need much money, enough to pay the fare
I could tie my woman, living without a care
I'm singing

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Women in the market, baskets on their head
Everything you need to feel alright
Pretty senoritas strolling in the slare
Marihage playing, singing without a care
I hear them

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Wear My Ring Around Your Neck


Wear My Ring Around Your Neck
Composer(s): Bert Carroll; Russell Moody
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



Won't you wear my ring up around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring up around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

They say that going steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know I love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what I ask of you

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

Acapulco


Acapulco
Performer(s): Luis Mariano



Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et j'entendrai comme un écho
Cette musique
Et sous d'autres cieux
Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici
Je regretterai la volupté
L'enchantement des nuits d'été
Du pacifique
Tous les jours heureux
Dont le souvenir
Ne saurait mourir

Quand la chanson du vent
Se mêle doucement
Au bruit de l'océan
De ces deux mélodies
Naît une symphonie
Que jamais on oublie

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et quand voguera mon bateau
Loin du Mexique
Je n'aurai bientôt
Plus qu'un seul désir
C'est d'y revenir

Pays, pays d'amour
Depuis le premier jour
J'ai retrouvé par toi
Le bonheur et la joie

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et j'entendrai comme un écho
Cette musique
Et sous d'autres cieux
Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici
Je regretterai la volupté
L'enchantement des nuits d'été
Du pacifique
Tous les jours heureux
Dont le souvenir
Ne saurait mourir

Sous le soleil couchant
C'est un ravissement
C'est l'heure des amants
Les fleurs ont des couleurs
Les femmes une fraîcheur
Qu'elles n'ont pas ailleurs

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et quand voguera mon bateau
Loin du Mexique
Je n'aurai bientôt
Plus qu'un seul désir
C'est d'y revenir

Acapulco, Acapulco

We, Your Dearest Friends


We, Your Dearest Friends
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



We, your dearest friends
Are having dinner without you
We're witty and we use it to be vicious
In just another minute
We'll be laughing about you
To the untrained eye
It wouldn't look suspicious

We, your dearest friends
Don't really care if you have needs
Your hopes and dreams
Are trivial by our standards
We make fun of how you sing
And then we imitate your speech
And the stupid things
You say we like to slander

But we won't reel you out too far
'Cause after all, we need you for
Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here in faithlessness
To undermine your happiness
Toying with your paranoia
Everything you do annoys us
It annoys us

We remember how
You bought us all those gifts
You liked to make us think
You were so generous
Be careful in the future
Of everything you say and do
`Cause it can and will be used
Against you by us

We your dearest friends
Judge you "guilty"
Here and now
Of thinking you're a star
When it's all over
Nobody wants you
And we the least of all
It's been a long time since
You had those famous lovers

But we won't reel you out too far
`Cause after all, we need you for
Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here
In faithlessness
To undermine your happiness
Toying with your paranoia
Everything you do annoys us
(it annoys the hell out of us)

It's not the straw
No, it's the final straw you'll say
Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone
There'll be no invitation to
Your rocky coast this year
Your queenly voice will
Ice us down the telephone

You'll never guess who's joining us
For brandy later on
That's right, it's your bête noir from hell
That's who
Are you worried we might spill the beans
Are you worried we might tell
About your little visit to the bin when
You were cuckoo?

But we won't reel you out too far
`Cause after all, we need you for
Our ongoing quest

We've bonded here in faithlessness
To undermine your happiness
Toying with your paranoia
Everything you do annoys us
It annoys us

Toying with your paranoia

You have an unforgiveable personality
Unforgettable, yes
We were so happy once in the Garden of
The Finzi-Continis
Oh, yes we were
Never more, never more
Here comes the waiter
We'll just put it on your house charge
You'll never know the difference
Never notice

Acalanto Para Um Punhal


Acalanto Para Um Punhal
Composer(s): Robertinho de Recife - Herman Torres - Fausto Nilo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Dorme bandoleiro
Dorme punhal, coração
Dos irmãos dos cavalos
Ponta de sal na raiz dos gemidos

Arma branca das trevas
Invejará o ardor
Do teu aço na flor
Que esconde a beleza em profundas crateras

Sangue na prata da lua
Fere a paixão no capim
Dorme em leito carmim

Clarão, violão
Mesmo sol de Sevilha

Acordarás com meu grito
Rasga o silêncio do amor
Mancha o leito de dor
Punhal, coração
Amanhece a campina

We Work The Black Seam


We Work The Black Seam
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; Pat Kilbride



This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

Our conscious lives run deep
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
This way of life is part of me
The is no price so only let me be
And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

We Won't Live In A Castle


We Won't Live In A Castle
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Donald Peers; Jimmy Young



We won't live in a castle
But love will light every room
For love will shine in your eyes and mine
Bright as the golden moon

Laugh with me in the sunlight
Weep with me in the rain
Just want me dear, and you'll have me near
You've only to call my name

Every dream won't come true
We won't care you'll have me, I'll have you

Though we won't live in a castle
Love will light every room
Our love will be till eternity
Bright as the golden moon

Every dream won't come true
But you'll have me, I'll have you

Though we won't live in a castle
Love will light every room
Our love will be till eternity
Bright as the golden moon

Acalanto


Acalanto
Composer(s): Edú Lobo - Chico Buarque
First release by: Chico Buarque - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



É tão cedo, meu irmão
Abre os olhos, dorme não
Espalha os meus soldados
Estraga os meus brinquedos
Pode me odiar
Nunca mais olhar pra mim
Mas não faz
Não faz mais
Assim

Tão cedo, meu irmão
Põe a mão na minha mão
Pode fechar meus olhos
Alisa os meus cabelos
E a quem perguntar
Deus, que foi que aconteceu
Vou jurar que o teu sangue
É meu
Eu vou rasgar
Meu coração
Pra costurar o teu
Vou te soprar
Esta canção
O meu irmão
Morreu

Aca Entre Nos


Aca Entre Nos
Composer(s): Martín Urieta
Performer(s): Vicente Fernández & Alejandro Fernández



Por presumir a mis amigos les conte
que en el amor ninguna pena me aniquila
que pa' probarles de tus besos me olvide
y me bastaron unos tragos de tequila

Les platique que me encontre con otro amor
y que en sus brazos fui dejando de quererte
que te aborrezco desde el dia de tu traicion
y que hay momentos que he deseado hasta tu muerte

Aca entre nos
quiero que sepas la verdad
no te he dejado de adorar
alla en mi triste soledad
me han dado ganas de gritar
salir corriendo y preguntar
que es lo que ha sido de tu vida

Aca entre nos
siempre te voy a recordar
y hoy que a mi lado ya no estas
no queda mas que confesar
que ya no puedo soportar
que estoy odiando sin odiar
porque respiro por la herida

Aca entre nos....

We Will Make Love


We Will Make Love
Composer(s): Ronald Hulme
Performer(s): Russ Hamilton



(Oh yes we will make love)

When the moon takes the place
of the sun in the sky
I'll call for my girlie
We'll go walkin' by
To a place no one knows
That's how love goes
Now we are alone
We will make love
Oh yes, we will make love

I wish we could wed
But we are too young
But one day I know
Wedding bells will be rung
For you and for me
We'll promise to be
So faithful and true
I love you
Oh yes, I love you

Now it's getting late
Now we must part
But before I go
I will leave you my heart
So don't shed a tear
I'll always be near
I'll hold you so tight
And I'll kiss you goodnight
Oh yes, I'll kiss you goodnight

When I go away
Don't ever let your heart go astray
`cos my love so true
Is only for you
So remember you're mine
You're mine all the time

When the sun takes the place
Of the moon in the sky
We'll go on a journey
You and I
To a far distant land
Where our dreams were planned
In the clouds up above
We will make love
Oh yes, we will make love
Oh yes, we will make love

Abuglubu Abugluba


Abuglubu Abugluba
Composer(s): Carlos Argentino - G. Coulonges - Jean Greblin
Performer(s): André Bourvil & Pierrette Bruno



Abuglubu, abugluba
il lui a dit Abuglubu, abugluba
il savait c'qu'il voulait
Abuglubu, abugluba
elle répondit ce sera comme tu voudras
Elle était arrangeante

Tous les cubains vous raccont'ront cette légende
abuglubu, c'est un vieux mot au sens caché
abugluba c'est la réponse à c'qu'il demande
imaginez c'qu'un amoureux peut demander
Pour nous renseigner
il faudrait trouver
une jeune cubaine qui voudrait nous l'expliquer
Car tous les cubains
connaissent très bien
ce merveilleux refrain
du bon fiancé moyen

Abuglubu, abugluba
cela veut dire je t'aimerai, tu m'aimeras
ah bon!
Abuglubu, abugluba
Cette nuit aussi, je t'attendrai, tu m'attendras
Ça dit tout ça?
Ça dit encore si tu le veux tu s'ras ma femme
car ces deux mots nous chantent un amour éternel
Abuglubu c'est l'Roméo de la Havane
Abugluba c'est sa Juliette au cœur de miel
Et tous les cubains
quand ils s'aiment bien
adorent se donner
ces deux noms prédestinés
C'est pour ça qu'le soir
quand ils vont danser
sur toutes les musiques
on les entend s'appeler

Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, je t'aimerai tu m'aimeras
Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, je cèderai, on s'aimera
ils ont d'la conversation
Abuglubu, abugluba
je t'aimerai, t'adorerai, on s'mari'ra
(où est-ce qu'ils vont chercher tout ça?)
et rien jamais ne sépar'ra
ne sépar'ra Abuglubu, d'Abugluba
Dis tu l'as vu? quoi? mon abuglubu
mais j'croyais qu'c'était un abugluba
C'est la même chose! Ah bon!
Alors au revoir!
Non pas au revoir, Abuglubu!
Ah oui, c'est ça abugluba!

We Were All Uprooted


We Were All Uprooted
Performer(s): Vangelis



We were all uprooted
The earth was stolen from beneath our feet
We became a Diaspora
An unnamed nation of bastards
We channeled our roots to the pulse of light
deep within the galaxies of our mind
Our breath was the sky
Our dreams were water
We claimed the wilderness
We recognized each other

Absolution Blues


Absolution Blues
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Jimmy Page
Performer(s): Jimmy Page



Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for sweet young things
On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon
Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away
Wash my tears away

Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years
But, I was blind to all your fears
Now I can't stop the tears from falling down
Come the dawn of judgement day
I'll get down on my knees and pray
St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray
The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go

Now I can see the sun is shining
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away

Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees
Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no

Hello Central, Give Me France


Hello Central, Give Me France
(aka We Want Our Daddy Dear, Back Home)
Composer(s): James M. Reilly; Harry De Costa



A little girl woke when the dawn was near
And the nurse said "See your new brother," dear
She went to her mother with wondring stare
And their thoughts were of Dad who's "over there"
The little girl crept down the stairs all alone
And this love call she sent through the telephone

The little girl smiled, then the clock struck one
As the Central called White House, Washington
The President heard and he understood
Like the father of this great country should
He cabled in code every word Central said
In the trenches in France the proud Daddy read

Hello, Central, give me France
I want to talk to Daddy dear
Because I'd like to tell him while I got the chance
The stork brought a brand new baby here
Won't you say that its "me"
And he'll answer you'll see
So hurry, please, and get him on the phone
Hello, Central, give me France
'Cause we want our Daddy dear back home

Absolutely Sweet Marie


Absolutely Sweet Marie
((Swedish Version: Utan Tvekan Min Marie (by Mikael Wiehe & Ebba Forsberg) - 2007))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately

Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Well, I don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
But ev'rybody else, even yourself
They're just gonna have to wait

Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony
Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie
