When You Believe


When You Believe
Composer(s): Babyface; Stephen Schwartz
Performer(s): Whitney Houston



Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could
(Oh yes)

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
(oh yeah)

In this time of fear
When prayers so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles when you believe (when you believe)
Though hope is frail its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve (you can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And its easy to give in to your fears (oh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight though the rain
a small but still, resilient voice
Says love is very near (yeah yeah)

There can be miracles (miracles) when you believe (lord when you believe oh ho)
Though hope is frail (though hope is frail) it's hard to kill (it's haaaard to kill oh oh)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, (oohooh) somehow you will
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you believe
Just believe
Just believe
(oh yeah)
You will when you believe

Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón


Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón
((French & German Versions: Mais Il Y A L'accordéon (Dalida); Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon (Dalida))
Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Don Diego
Performer(s): Dalida



Yo sé nuestro mundo es una obsesión
Yo sé que la guerra es una invención
Y que la tierra rueda como un balón
Y que el hombre no frena su ambición
Yo sé nuestro mundo es todo ficción
Y que el cielo es una constelación
Que sea rosa o azul como la ilusión
Que la tierra es roja como la pasión

Pero al oír mi acordeón
Con su cantar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Me hace latir el corazón
Al escuchar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Al recordar con emoción
Mi dulce Francia

Porqué los senderos que sigue el amor
Porqué van sembrados de llanto y dolor
Y al girar la rueda de tu destino
La felicidad no cruza tu camino

Pero al oír mi acordeón
Con su cantar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Me hace latir el corazón
Al escuchar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Al recordar con emoción
Mi dulce Francia

En un cafetín del viejo Montmartre
Allí encontré un viejo pintor
Y también artistas hablando de su arte
Y en el mostrador un poeta soñador

Y en un rincón mi acordeón
Con su cantar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Me hace latir el corazón
Al escuchar mi acordeón
Me hace soñar mi acordeón
Al recordar con emoción
Mi dulce Francia

When You Are A King


When You Are A King
Composer(s): Roger Hill; Johnny Hill
Performer(s): White Plains; Jackie Lee



Parting in your hair, it's hardly ever there
Wash your face
Shabby in your dress, always look a mess
Don't you care?
Mummy's there to see you always look your best
Change your dirty vest

When you grow to be a king
Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king
Everywhere you go, people bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't ever touch a thing
When you are a king

Tore your shirt again, fighting in the rain
With whats-his-name
Shoe-black on your face, you're really a disgrace
Mummy smiles and all the while
Because she loves you
She will worry so
And if you're good you know

That when you grow to be a king
Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king
Everywhere you go, people bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't ever touch a thing
When you are a king

When you are a king
Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king.
Everywhere you go, people bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't ever touch a thing
When you are a king

Al Claro De Luna


Al Claro De Luna
Composer(s): M.M. Montes - C.A. Rossi - Testa
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Claro de luna dame fortuna
dime la forma de ser en su alma
su loca pasión

Claro de luna ella es mi vida
si no la veo en mí no hay paz
Claro de luna haz que comprenda
que mis angustias no aguantan más

Luna azul faro de luz
novia del ancho mar
sólo tú puedes lograr que ella me llegue a amar

Claro de luna haz que comprenda
claro de luna dame fortuna
dime la forma de ser en su vida
su loca pasión

Luna azul faro de luz
novia del ancho mar
sólo tú puedes lograr que ella me llegue a amar

Claro de luna haz que comprenda
claro de luna dame fortuna
dime la forma de ser en su vida
su loca pasión
Claro de luna

When Yankee Doodle Learns To "Parlez Vous Français"


When Yankee Doodle Learns To "Parlez Vous Français"
Composer(s): Will Hart; Ed. Nelson



When Yankee Doodle came to Paris town
Upon his face he wore a little frown
To those he'd meet upon the street
he couldn't speak a word
To find a Miss that he could kiss it seemed to be absurd
But if this Yankee should stay there awhile
Upon his face you're bound to see a smile

Soon Yankee Doodle he left Paris town
Upon his face there was a coat of brown
For every man of Uncle Sam was fighting in a trench
Between each shell, they learned quite well to speak a little French
When Yankee Doodle gets back to Paree
He'll break a million hearts take it from me

When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français
Parlez vous Français, in the proper way
He will call each girlie "Ma Chérie"
To every Miss that wants a kiss he'll say
Wee, Wee On Ze Be, On Ze Bou, On Ze Boule, Boulevard
With a girl, with a curl, you can see him promenade
When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous Français
"Oo La La, Sweet Papa" he will teach them all to say

Al Cabo Del Mar


Al Cabo Del Mar
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy, al cabo del mar, quisiera saber
qué hiciste la noche en que no vi tu mano
qué hicieron tus libros y tu último espejo
qué hizo tu cuerpo soñado, cuando ya no estuve
abriéndote luces de cientos de estrellas
en cada palabra de amor descubierta hacia ti

Qué cosa dijiste la última noche
al nuevo silencio posado en tu almohada
Aprende a llevarme
que aún voy doblado por ti

Hoy, al cabo del mar, quisiera saber
qué píldora estuvo colmando tu sueño
qué filo cortó tu deseo de nombrarme
qué ala pensaste encontrar para alzar tanto peso
y hacerlo tan fácil, como si mi abrazo
se fuera a romper con volar

Hay tanto recuerdo, hay tanto y con alas
-alas que nos siguen al cielo, a la muerte
Aprende a llevarme
que aún voy doblado por ti

Hoy, al cabo del mar, quisiera saber
si fue casualmente que hallaste al amigo
que toda una tarde te vio recordando
y así me lo dijo con voz de verdugo sublime
haciendo de un día de sol día de tumbas
maldita canción que olvidar

Así quedó roto, por cuatro palabras
el ancho escondite que usé para huirte
Aprende a llevarme
que aún voy doblado por ti

Hoy, al cabo del mar, no hay nada que hacer
con esta distancia sin tiempo y espacio
con esta distancia tenaz, siempre cerca
con esta distancia de los pensamientos furiosos
tuyos, carniceros, que nunca reposan
que incendian las olas a golpes de viento y canción

Ya no hay nada que hagamos que pueda alejarnos
de la piel crecida entre nuestros cuerpos
Aprende a llevarme
que aún voy doblado por ti

When Will You Say "I Love You"?


When Will You Say "I Love You"?
Composer(s): Alan Fielding
Performer(s): Billy Fury



You smile at me, and angels sing
You speak my name and winter changes into spring
But there’s an emptiness that makes me feel so blue
When will you say, “I love you”?

I tried so hard to make you care
This life of mine was meant for you alone to share
I need you close to me in everything I do
When will you say, "I love you"?

Oh, I never thought that this could ever happen to me
Three little words from you and you could end my misery

Oh, say those words I’m longing for
Then I know you’ll be mine until forever more
And all this world will be just like a dream come true
When will you say, "I love you"?
I love you
I love you

Al Alba


Al Alba
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; José Mercé; Silvio Rodríguez



Si te dijera, amor mío
que temo a la madrugada
no sé qué estrellas son éstas
que hieren como amenazas
ni sé qué sangra la luna
al filo de su guadaña

Presiento que tras la noche
vendrá la noche más larga
quiero que no me abandones
amor mío, al alba
al alba, al alba

Los hijos que no tuvimos
se esconden en las cloacas
comen las últimas flores
parece que adivinaran
que el día que se avecina
viene con hambre atrasada

Presiento que tras la noche
vendrá la noche más larga
quiero que no me abandones
amor mío, al alba
al alba, al alba

Miles de buitres callados
van extendiendo sus alas
no te destroza, amor mío
esta silenciosa danza
maldito baile de muertos
pólvora de la mañana

Presiento que tras la noche
vendrá la noche más larga
quiero que no me abandones
amor mío, al alba
al alba, al alba

When Will The Rain Come


When Will The Rain Come
Composer(s): Ronnie Bond
Performer(s): The Troggs



When I rise a new day
I look and I see
Just how much of my life
The wind has taken from me

When will the rain come?
When will the rain come?

One lonely flower is all that’s here
No one else will shed a tear
For when it dies, we’ll all be gone
To join the dust that drifts on by

When will the rain come?
When will the rain come?

Now that I have more time
Much more than I could need
No past
No present
No future
One mouth, one child to feed

When will the rain come?
When will the rain come?

The wind is blowing my life away
The clouds of dust drift on by
A land that once was good to me
Is gone and now it’s dry

When will the rain come?
When will the rain come?
When will the rain come?

When Will I See You Again


When Will I See You Again
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff
Performer(s): The Three Degrees



Ooooo-oo, Aaaa-ah

When will I see you again
When will we share precious moments
Will I have to wait forever
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through

When will I see you again
When will our hearts beat together
Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again

Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again...

Aja


Aja
Composer(s): Walter Carl Becker - Donald Jay Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Up on the hill
People never stare
They just don't care
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

Up on the hill
They've got time to burn
There's no return
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Let's do it right
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

Up on the hill
They think I'm okay
Or so they say
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes
Sound good to me
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

When Will I Be Loved?


When Will I Be Loved?
Composer(s): Phil Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



I’ve been made blue, I’ve been lied to
When will I be loved
I’ve been turned down, I’ve been pushed ‘round
When will I be loved

When I meet a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time
I’ve been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved

When I meet a new girl that I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two, it happens every time
I’ve been cheated, been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
When will I be loved

When We Was Fab


When We Was Fab
Composer(s): George Harrison; Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): George Harrison; Wendy Ip



Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had

Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love

And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away

The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me

Fab
And You've Really Got A Hold Me
fab - long time ago when we was fab

Airwaves


Airwaves
Composer(s): Thomas Dolby
Performer(s): Thomas Dolby



Strange how the scale forms
in tiny patterns
on my antenna
and the Five O'clock Show, hello hello...
Brooklyn is crawling with famous people
I turn my vehicle beneath the river, West from South

Through the airwaves
people never read the airwaves
do we only feed the airwaves
or stamp them out of street level?
Airwaves - the dampness of the wind
the airwaves - the tension of the skin
the airwaves I really should have seen through the airwaves

Electric fences line our new freeway
here in the half-light, the motorhomes leave
knee-deep in water under a pylon
how slow my heartbeat, how thin the air I'm breathing in

Control has enabled the abandoned wires again
but the copper cables all rust in the acid rain
that flood the subway
with elements of our corrosion
cabled in to me...
Be in my broadcast when this is over
give me your shoulder, I need a place
to wait for morning.
No it was nothing - some car backfiring
pleased don't ask questions

I itch all over
let me sleep

When Veronica Plays The Harmonica


When Veronica Plays The Harmonica
Composer(s): Tommy Mack; Jimmy Mulcay; Mildred Mulcay
Performer(s): The Mulcays; Kay Kyser



You can sail around the world to see the sights
And even see the famous northern lights
But strange as it may be
I'm sure you will agree
The greatest sight of all is by the sea

When Veronica plays the harmonica
Down on the pier at Santa Monica
When she gives out with Gershwin and Bach
The perch and barracuda come wigglin' up to the dock
The seals and haddock get aquabatic
When she plays on her chromatic
When she plays boogie woogie, lobsters flippity flop
She even made a submarine blow it's top
When Veronica plays her harmonica
Down on the pier at Santa Monica

When Veronica plays the harmonica
Down on the pier at Santa Monica
She plays mad jive for hepcat fish
She even plays a tune for a tuna that swims with a swish
A big fat turtle whose name was Myrtle
Shook and shivered till she broke her girlde
The whale that swallowed Jonah yelled across the bay
"I'll open up my mouth and let you go today
To hear Veronica play her hamonica
Down on the pier at Santa Monica"

A flying fish from Avalon flew out of sight
For he was smoking seaweed and was high as a kite
When Veronica raised the thermometer
Down on the pier at Santa Monica

An oyster got so stewed at an oyster spa
He stood right up and holler'd "Eat Me Eight To The Bar"
When Veronica played her harmonica
Down on the pier at Santa Monica

A fish was using Lifebuoy soap, she knew how he felt
She never smelled a smelt that smelt like that smelt smelt
So Veronica took her harmonica
And left the pier at Santa Monica

Air Talk


Air Talk
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): Plastic Ono Band



One, two, three, four, five, six

It’s sad that air is the only thing we share
No matter how close we are there’s always air between us
It’s also nice that air’s something we all share
No matter how far apart we are an air links us

It’s sad that past is something we can never share
No matter how close we are the past is between us
But it’s also nice that without the past
We’d have never known each other
No matter how far apart we are it brought us together

Yes, it’s very nice to have someone to share
There’s something very nice to have someone to care
We may not share our past but we have our future to share

It’s sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear
No matter how close we are it’s easy to despair
It’s also nice that you and I know it’s what we all share
No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care

There’s something very nice to have something to share
There’s something very nice to have someone to care
We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share

Yes, there’s something very nice to have something to care
There’s something very nice to have someone to share
We may not share our language but we have the world to share

When Two Worlds Collide


When Two Worlds Collide
Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Roger Miller
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Your world was so different from mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in, wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Airport Song


Airport Song
((Dutch Version: Airport Song (by Gerard Cox) - 1972))
Composer(s): Christopher Simpson
First release by: Magna Carta



Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Sitting in the airport lounge
I'm waiting for a plane
Everything is grounded
For the fog is down again
I should be leaving in the morning
On a flight for Singapore
With a guitar and a suitcase and a face
In a photograph

Dozing with a coffee and a drooping cigaret
And the dog eats sunday supplement
And still I can't forget
I should be leaving in the morning
On a plane bound for the sun
With a guitar and a suitcase and a face
In a photograph

The hands on the clock
Turn around and around
Dragging past the hours
'Till the dawning of the day
And the girl in information
With her eyes on confirmation
She's turning with a smile to break the news

I cannot quite believe it, but I thought I heard her say
"The customs all have workened up, the fog is on it's way"
So I'll be leaving in the morning
On a plane bound for the sun
With a guitar and a suitcase and a face
In a photograph

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Yes I'll be leaving in the morning
On a plane bound for the sun
