Whenever God Shines His Light


Whenever God Shines His Light
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison;
and various other artists



Whenever God shines his light on me
Open up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
Then I know everythings gonna be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him, he is there
When I am lonely, as I can be
Then I know that God shines his light on me
Reach out for him, he'll be there
With him, your troubles, you can share
If you live the life you love
You get the blessings from above.
Heals the sick, and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name
And he lifts you up, and he turns you around
And he puts your feet back, on higher grounds...

Albachiara


Albachiara
Composer(s): Vasco Rossi
First release by: Vasco Rossi - 1979



Respiri piano per non far rumore
ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
sei chiara come l'alba
sei fresca come l'aria
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
e sei fantastica quando sei assorta
nei tuoi problemi, nei tuoi pensieri

Ti vesti svogliatamente
non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
un particolare, solo per farti guardare

E con la faccia pulita cammini per strada
mangiando una mela, coi libri di scuola
ti piace studiare
non te ne devi vergognare

E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi
forse un po' troppo sinceri...sinceri
si vede quello che pensi, quello che sogni
e qualche volta fai pensieri strani
e con una mano, una mano ti sfiori
tu sola dentro una stanza
e tutto il mondo fuori

When You've Got What It Takes


When You've Got What It Takes
Composer(s): Bill Lane; Roger Nichols
Performer(s): The Carpenters



You've got nothing to hide
You've got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You've got it
You've really got it

When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You live what you can
And it's good when you've really got it
And when you've got it

(chorus)
Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you'vegot what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

When you've sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it

You begin to believe
You'll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it

Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it
When you've got it everyday

Alaska & Me


Alaska & Me
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver



When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew I'd live there one day
Well it took me some growin', and a fair bit of schoolin'
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to Alaska the land that I love

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

I was born in a cabin on Little Mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin'
I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilot's wife

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin' to lose and heaven to gain

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Here's to Alaska and me
Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

When You're Young And In Love


When You're Young And In Love
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): The Marvelettes



(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)

Spring in the air (filled with love)
There's magic ev'rywhere
When you're young and in love

Life seems to be (just a dream)
A world of fantasy
When you're young and in love

Each night seems just like the Fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky

The moon at night (shines so bright)
Seems to shine twice as bright
When you're young and in love

Ooh, dreams can come true (try a dream)
If you believe they do
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Look and you'll find)
Ooh, ooh yeah
(There's no mountain you can't climb)
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Young and in love)
So in love
(Young and in love)
Oh, yeah

(Young and in love)
I feel so good

Alas, Alas


Alas, Alas
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Una lluvia de almendras
dos trenzas diminutas
tres parapentes blancos
cuatro cestas de frutas

Cinco copas de hierro
seis recuerdos heridos
siete caminos largos
ocho lirios partidos

Nueve mareas altas
diez sorbos de cerveza
once alquimistas ciegos
doce encinas que rezan

Un día nos regala
como yo a tí te regalo ahora
alas, alas

Trece viernes de dicha
catorce desconocidos
quince perfumes limpios
dieciséis horas de olvido

Diecisiete reyes de oro
dieciocho decisiones
diecinueve caballeros
con veinte preocupaciones

Veintiuna albercas de agua
con veintidós pensamientos
veintitrés pasos perdidos
veinticuatro sentimientos

Un día nos regala
como yo a ti te regalo ahora
alas, alas

Alas


Alas
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Cuando estés, cansada de seguir
sola, y a nadie importes ya
sola, entre la gente
sola, y al borde de llorar
Abriré, mis alas sobre ti
cruzaré, por ti la tempestad
venceré, todos tus miedos
y entre mis brazos, volarás
Vuela, yo iré detrás de ti
vuela, cuando no puedas más
vuela, sobre tus lágrimas
vuela, sobre tu soledad
Alas, que inventaré por ti
alas, de sueños y de amor
alas, llenas de vida
que alejarán de ti el dolor

When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman


When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman
Composer(s): Even Stevens
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show



When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard
Everybody wants her, everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
You know that it's crazy, you want to trust her
And then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is, I've been fooled before
By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends

Aujourd'hui qui se souvient
Des aventures d'Aladin
Et de l'histoire fabuleuse
De la lampe merveilleuse?

Les parents ont oublié
À leurs enfants, de conter
L'aventure extraordinaire
D'Aladin le légendaire

Moi je suis le grand Génie
Qui, dans la lampe, endormi
Attend les commandements
D'Aladin le tout puissant

Nous combattions des vizirs
Méchants, capables du pire
Aladin gagnait toujours
Mille et une nuits d'amour

Aladin

Aujourd'hui qui se souvient
Des aventures d'Aladin
De son grand tapis volant
Des ailes de son cheval blanc?

Je suis le puissant Génie
Qui, dans la lampe, s'ennuie
Aladin, si tu m'entends
Repartons tout comme avant

Aladin

When You're In Love
Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Frankie Laine
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



When you're in love life will be, but a song
Heaven above yours will be ever long
Your soul will be aflame with madness you can't tame
You tremble when you find, love is not blind

When you're in love you'll know joy unsurpassed
The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love

When you're in love life will be, but a song

The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love

Aladdin's Lamp


Aladdin's Lamp
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Gene Pitney



When I find Aladdin`s lamp some day
I`ll rub the lamp and when the smoke clears away
I`ll ask the genie grant me my one wish come true
That the girl I love would only love me too

I`ve heard that in days of old
The lamp did whatever it was told
So when I find that thing
I`m wishing her a wedding ring

I won`t ask for gold or wealth or fame
I`m searching for a way to change her name
I`ll ask for her lips (her lips), her arms (her arms) gotta hold her tight
Oh tell where on earth is Aladdin`s lamp tonight

I`ve heard that in days of old
The lamp did whatever it was told
So when I find that thing
I`m wishing her a wedding ring I won`t ask for gold or wealth or fame

I`m searching for a way to change her name
I`ll ask for her lips (her lips), her arms (her arms) gotta hold her tight
Oh tell where on earth is Aladdin`s lamp tonight

When You're Hot, You're Hot


When You're Hot, You're Hot
Composer(s): Jerry Reed
Performer(s): Jerry Reed



Well me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens , winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I jest kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
And finally they jest threw up their hands and said
"When you hot, you hot"
I said "Yeah?"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again
When you're hot, you're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, now every time I rolled them dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me
I turned around and there was a big old cop
He said "Hello, boys" and then he gave us a grin 'n' said
"Look like I'm gonna hafta haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence"
I said, "Well, son when you hot, you hot"
He said "Yeah"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
You can 'splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when you're hot, you're hot
You're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, when he took us into court I couldn't believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said "Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal"
"I'll pay ya that hundred I owe ya if you'll get me outta this spot"
So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
"Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot"
'n' I said "Thanks a lot"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said "Well, when you're hot, you're hot"

I said "well I'll tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal"
"If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take out in back of this courthouse
"And I'd try a little bit of your honor on"
"You understand that, you hillbilly?"
"Who gonna collect my welfare?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Pay for my Cadillac?"
Whadda you mean 'contempt of court'?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Judge"
"Oh Judge"
"Judgie Poo!!"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not

I had a strange exciting dream last night

I was a wanderer with no love in sight
When all at once I saw his magic light
Aladdin standing there

He asked me if I had a wish to make
I thought of you and knew the wish I`d take
He rubbed his lamp and then he said `Awake`
Aladdin I`m on my way

I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true

I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine

I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true

I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine

When You're Good You're Lonesome


When You're Good You're Lonesome
Composer(s): Grace Doro
Performer(s): Edythe Baker



I feel so sad and lonely I wish I knew just why
Every one is happy
While all I do is sigh
I walk the straight and narrow path
I'm good as I can be
Maybe that's just what is wrong
For it seems to me

My mother always told me "Be very, very good"
I took her advice
Like a good child always should
I went to bed at eight o'clock
But what did that get me?
I have missed an awful lot
Now I plainly see

When you are good, you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue
Sometimes it seems very hard to believe
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
I think it'll get me a sweetie who'll make a fuss over me
Just love and pet me all the day
Then I'll never have to say
When you are good you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue

Alacrán (Resaca)


Alacrán (Resaca)
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Habíamos bebido la noche sin parar
estaban casi todos
en el medio de aquel bar
no se por que querían
seguirla en un hotel
había tres o cuatro
disfrazados de mujer
pero ahora, ahora
estabamos reunidos
en lo de un esquimal
casi todos los chiflados
dos jirafas y un sultán
yo tengo una teoría
y vos un alacrán
después de tanta cosa
es mejor, es mejor no bailar
pero ahora, ahora
tengo resaca, resaca
un tipo me seguía
en una fiesta gay
trataban solo un tema
como es la primera vez
no tuve mas remedio
que ponerme a beber
después salí corriendo
y en un bar me emborrache
pero ahora, ahora
ya no estas muerta
habíamos vaciado mas de la mitad
yo había visto un tajo
y quería mas y mas
pedía que pedía
y no sabia que
botella por botella
y ya no es un tajo
sino tres
pero ahora, ahora
solo tengo resaca, resaca
ya no estas muerta
ya no estas muerta
confirmado
lo hacia sin parar
se seca la garganta
y no se puede respirar
pero un día
ya no estabas vos
y yo como un suicida
en esta mierda el rock & roll
pero ahora, pero ahora, tengo resaca

habíamos cogido
el día sin parar
habíamos fumado
y ya no hay nada que fumar
en medio de aquel viento
nadie mas que yo
y algunos afiebrados
que se esconden de este sol
pero ahora,
pero ahora
ya no estas muerta

When You're A Long, Long Way From Home


When You're A Long, Long Way From Home
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Geo. W. Meyer
Performer(s): Harry James;
and various other artists



I know where the sun is shining
I know where someone is pining
just a simple pal a country gal
I know she's true
What's the use of tears and sighing
after many years of trying
guess I'm going home no more to roam
I'm feeling blue

When I leave this town I'll hurry
where they never frown or worry
when I say goodbye no one will sigh
when I am gone give me back the brooks
and clover with those shady nooks
all over I could be content without a cent
where I was born

When you're a long long way from home
it makes you feel like you're alone
it's hard to find a pal that's true
that you can tell your troubles to
and when you send a letter home
your mother's voice rings in your ears
and then you cross the T's with kisses
what a strange world this is
then you dot the I's with tears
and all the sunshine turns to gloom
when you're a long way from home

Alabanzas


Alabanzas
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Alabada sea la mano
buena para remediar
Alabado el olvidado
alabado el olvidado
en cualquier rincón del mar

Alabado sea el dolor
lumbre de profundidad
Alabado el amor
aunque sea necesidad

Cada vez
son más enanos los talvez
y crece la condenación
de los así será
Los perdidos reinventan la ocasión
del colmillo animal

Alabado el todavía
que me sirve una canción
Alabado cada día
alabado cada día
de labor e ilustración

Alabada la verdad
como material de luz
Alabada mi ciudad
cuando baja de la cruz

Poco amor
el verdadero da dolor
La voz de las antenas va
sustituyendo al dios
Cuando finalice la mutación
nueva edad media habrá

Quien ayer me daba un beso
ahora me trata de usted

Yo no quiero aprender eso
yo no quiero aprender eso
ni al derecho ni al revés

Búsquenme la buena mano
necesito el curador
Después de haber sido hermano
es muy triste ser señor
