The Mem'ry Of A Rose
The Mem'ry Of A Rose
Composer(s): Richard Young - Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists
The mem’ry of a rose
Is with me as I wander
The mem’ry of a rose
She gave me long ago
As evening comes and goes
I dream she waits out yonder
And so I take my way
Day by day
With the mem’ry of a rose
One stolen hour, a promise broken carelessly
A lovely bride once said "I will", but not to me...
The southwind when it blows
Brings only recollection
There’s nothing else to bring
So I cling
To the mem’ry of a rose...

What Am I Here For?
What Am I Here For?
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Frankie Laine
Performer(s): Duke Ellington;
and various other artists
What am I here for
Living in mis'ry
Now that you've gone from my heart?
That was my fear for
You were my future
There was no reason to part
'Till I hope you change your mind
And that somehow you will find
You are meant to be my own
I'll be lost if I'm alone
I know that you remember
All that you told me
Times when you hold me so tight
How could you grieve me
How could you leave me
Knowing your love is my light
In your ear that should be
Thoughts of your return to me
I will be happy
Patiently waiting
Knowing then, that's why I'm here

Ten cuidado coraçao

Adios, Americano
Adios, Americano
Composer(s): Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Bob Crosby Orch.; Bob Cats
"Adios, Americano" don't stay away too long
You make me to cry, you make me to sigh
With what you call "Blue Song"
"Adios, Americano" is all she keeps saying
"I save for you kiss, I save for you bliss
Like heaven above
I say no to Felipe and Pancho who promised a great big rancho
I laugh in their face when they try to get big embrace"
"Adios, Americano" your baby she trust you
But if you tell lie, she want for to die, goodbye!"

What About Me?
What About Me?
Composer(s): Kenny Rogers; David Foster; Richard Marx
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers;
and various other artists
I see you here with me
I've waited all my life for someone like you
Someone to give my heart and soul to
I look into your eyes
Your love for me was such a welcome surprise
I think at last I've found forever
But what about me?
(I'll always love you)
What about me?
(I'll always need you)
You were my love before
But I need so much more of you
Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do?
But what about me?
No reason to pretend
True love affairs don't have to come to an end
The moment we don't have all the answers
I nearly go insane
Each and every time I hear you whisper my name
I feel the same when I'm around you
But what about me?
(I'll always love you)
What about me?
(I'll always need you)
This is so hard for me
I wanted so much to be with you
Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do?
But what about me?

Adiós Muchachos
Adiós Muchachos
((English Version: I Get Ideas (by Tony Martin) - 1951))
Composer(s): Julio César Sanders - César Vedani
Performer(s): Agustin Magaldi - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists
Adiós, muchachos, compañeros de mi vida
barra querida de aquellos tiempos
Me toca a mí hoy emprender la retirada
debo alejarme de mi buena muchachada
Adiós, muchachos. Ya me voy y me resigno...
Contra el destino nadie la talla...
Se terminaron para mí todas las farras
mi cuerpo enfermo no resiste más...
Acuden a mi mente
recuerdos de otros tiempos
de los bellos momentos
que antaño disfruté
cerquita de mi madre
santa viejita
y de mi noviecita
que tanto idolatré...
¿Se acuerdan que era hermosa
más bella que una diosa
y que ebrio yo de amor
le di mi corazón
mas el Señor, celoso
de sus encantos
hundiéndome en el llanto
me la llevó?
Es Dios el juez supremo
No hay quien se le resista
Ya estoy acostumbrado
su ley a respetar
pues mi vida deshizo
con sus mandatos
al robarme a mi madre
y a mi novia también
Dos lágrimas sinceras
derramo en mi partida
por la barra querida
que nunca me olvidó
y al darles, mis amigos
mi adiós postrero
les doy con toda mi alma
mi bendición...

What About Love?
What About Love?
Composer(s): Brian Allen; Sheron Alton; Jim Vallance
Performer(s): Heart
I've been lonely, I've been waitin' for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through
To your heart
You've been hiding, never lettin' it show
Always tryin' to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well on the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday
I can't tell you what you're feelin' inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missin' and you got to look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
Oh, love
Oh, oh, what about love, love
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
What about love, love, love, love
What about, what about love
Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...ooh...

What A World
What A World
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill
Now it was Christmas Day in the jailhouse
The old man sat in his cell
"Put out your pudding, for treacle"
He heard the warden yell
"If you want treacle on your pudding
Put it out without delay"
The old man put out his pudding
And the warden took it away
Chorus
What a world, (what a world) what a place, (what a place)
Ain't you glad you're a member of the human race
Now the folksinger came from America
To sing at the Albert Hall
He sang his songs of protest
And fairer shares for all
He sang how the poor were much too poor
And the rich too rich by far
Then he drove back to his penthouse
In his brand new Rolls Royce car
[chorus]
Now Annie's a shorthand typist
Working for the B.B.C.
Her brother Jackie's in prison d
Doing three years for forgery
Her sister Josie's in Holloway
In Dartmoor is her Uncle Jim
And her dad runs a pirate radio ship
But she never talks about him
[chorus]
Now three old maids had a she-cat
Kept her indoors night and day
Kept her away from the he-cats
Thought she'd like it better that way
Then one old maid went and got married
The next morning she hastened to write
A note to the others which simply said
"Let kitty out tonight"
[chorus]
Now the button was pressed, the world destroyed
Leaving just one solitary man
And at the top of the Empire State Building
His lonely existance began
But his loneliness was too much so he jumped
And he fell like a bird with one wing
And as he passed the seventh floor
He heard the telephone ring
[chorus]

Adiós Juventud
Adiós Juventud
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
Adiós Juventud
No puedo esconder las canas
Adiós Juventud las ganas
De volver a salir
A marcha camión
A grapa y limón
Me queda un verso por decir
Antes de partir
Adiós Corazón
Adiós Carnaval
(Adiós Barrio Sur)
El tiempo no pasa en vano
Adiós Barrio Sur la mano
De unos cuantos fue cruel
No les convenció
El borocotó
Un nuevo cementerio ven
Les parece bien
Adiós a Cuareim
Adiós al talud
(Adiós Corazón)
El cuerpo ya no responde
Adiós Juventud adónde
Voy a ir si no estás
Parezco un Pierrot
Que triste quedó
Con el recuerdo de un disfraz
Que no sirve más
Adiós Marabú
Adiós Carnaval
(Adiós Juventud)
Prometo volver entero
Adiós Carnaval espero
Recorrerte otra vez
Cantarle al rigor
Un nuevo cuplé
Hasta que el rulo del tambor
Marque otro final
Adiós Carnaval
Parece mentira las cosas que veo
Por las calles de Montevideo

What A Wonderful World (Tommy Dorsey)
What A Wonderful World
Composer(s): Howard Dietz; Arthur Schwartz
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
Oh, what a wonderful world
What a heavenly show
What a thrill and a glow
When I’m with you, it’s a wonderful world
What a pleasure to live, to receive, and to give
My heart is larking, laughing and lyrical
Like a bird winging
What a marvellous miracle has occurred
Here me singing
Oh, what a wonderful world
What a dream it can be
Only if you love me

Adios Amor
Adios Amor
Composer(s): Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila
Je ressens de l'amour pour toi
Et pourtant je n'ai pas le droit
D'imaginer d'être un jour à toi
Puisque tu portes une alliance au doigts
Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir
Je ne suis pas aventureuse
Mais ne pourrais jamais être heureuse
Avec l'idée que par ma faute
J'aurais fait le malheur d'une autre
Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir
Je préfère abandonner
Les rêves que nous avions faits
Je sais bien que j'ai raison
Malgré toute la peine que j'ai
Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir

What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
What A Wonderful World
French & Spanish Titles:
Quel Monde Merveilleux; Que Mundo Maravilloso
Composer(s): George David Weiss; Bob Thiele
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Adios Amigo
Composer(s): Ralph Freed - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Adios amigo, adios my friend
The road we have travelled has come to an end
When two love the same love, one love has to lose
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose
Adios compadre, what must be must be
Remember to name one muchacho for me
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend
Adios compadre, let us shed no tears
May all your mañanas bring joy through the years
Away from these memories, my life I must spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend

Adieu Mon Pays
Adieu Mon Pays
Composer(s): Enrico Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
J'ai quitté mon pays
J'ai quitté ma maison
Ma vie ma triste vie
Se traîne sans raison
J'ai quitté mon soleil
J'ai quitté ma mer bleue
Leurs souvenirs se réveillent
Bien après mon adieu
Soleil ! soleil de mon pays perdu
Des villes blanches que j'aimais
Des filles que j'ai jadis connues
J'ai quitté une amie
Je vois encore ses yeux
Ses yeux mouillés de pluie
De la pluie de l'adieu
Je revois son sourire
Si près de mon visage
Il faisait resplendir
Les soirs de mon village
Mais, du bord du bateau
Qui m'éloignait du quai
Une chaîne dans l'eau
A claqué comme un fouet
J'ai longtemps regardé
Ses yeux bleus qui fuyaient aient aient
La mer les a noyés dans le flot
Du regret et et et et

What A Town
What A Town
Composer(s): Rick Danko; Bobby Charles
Performer(s): David Bromberg;
Rick Danko; Tompall Glaser
What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around
I looked to my left, looked to my right
And what do I see?
All the young girls dreaming, old ones scheming
Call girls calling after me
What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around
The music was playin, the people were swaying
Keepin the beat
In the alley, where they all rally
On them old cobblestone streets
What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around
Now I'm going home, I'm all alone
I'm putting my day to an end
So many places, so many faces
All of these people my friends
What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around...
