Wonderous Stories


Wonderous Stories
Composer(s): Jon Anderson
Performer(s): Yes;
Bill Bruford; World Trade



I awoke this morning
love laid me down by a river
Drifting I turned on upstream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
leaving no trace
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories

He spoke of lands not far
or lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly checked the time
if I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories

Hearing
Hearing
Hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
It is no lie I can see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
and were you there to stand
so cautiously at first and then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories

Hearing
Hearing
Hearing

A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
A maid with a way of whisp'ring "si senor"
Each night while guitars would softly play
The tune seemed to dance 'round the words that he'd say

Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flow'r so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a Rhapsody

Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it's endearing charm from you
Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say "I love you"

The boy left his love upon a distant shore
And sailed from the one his arms were longing for
He vowed he'd return one sunny day
Once more to repeat what his heart had to say

Wonderland By Night


Wonderland By Night
German Title: Wunderland Bei Nacht
Composer(s): Helmut Bruesewitz; Klaus Gunter Neumann
Performer(s): Bert Kaempfert;
and various other artists



Stars hang suspended above a floating yellow moon
Two hearts were blended while angels sang a lovers tune
And so we kissed not knowing if our hearts could pay the price
But heaven welcomed us to paradise blessing our love

Then came the sunrise fading the moon and stars from sight
Recalling always our wonderland by night

Stars hang suspended above a floating yellow moon
Two hearts were blended while angels sang a lovers tune
And so we kissed not knowing if our hearts could pay the price
But heaven welcomed us to paradise blessing our love

Then came the sunrise fading the moon and stars from sight
Recalling always our wonderland by night

Amapola
Mit deinen siebzehn Jahren
Seh ich dich schon seit Tagen
Heimlich weinen
Sei nicht traurig
Die Erde dreht sich weiter
Auch wenn es anders kommt
Als wir grad meinen

Amapola
Verlass dich nicht auf Wunder
Denn ob du glücklich wirst
Liegt nur an dir
Amapola, Amapola
Wach aus deinen Träumen auf und lebe

Wondering Why


Wondering Why
Composer(s): Merl Saunders; Pam Carrier
Original Performer: Merl Saunders
Covered by: Jerry Garcia; Geoff Muldaur



If you're gonna keep on keeping me wondering
I'm a-gonna end up leaving you wondering
If you're gonna keep on shoving me back
I'm a-gonna make sure I never come back
You better tear down, tear down the wall darling
You better unwind, unwind yourself
Comes the day you'll need me
And I won't be up there on the shelf
Nowhere
Lord, nowhere

If you're gonna keep on keeping on baby
I'll be stepping, I'll be stepping on
If we can't get it, get it together
Then I'm gone, Lord I got to get goin'
If you're gonna keep on keeping me wondering
I'm a-gonna end up leaving you wondering
Wondering why
Lord, wondering why

If you're gonna keep on keeping on baby
I'll be stepping, I'll be stepping on
If we can't get it, get it together
Then I'm gone, Lord I got to get goin'
If you're gonna keep on keeping me wondering
Wondering why Lord, wondering why
Lord, wondering, wondering why
Lord, wondering why

De amor, en los hierros de tu reja
De amor, escuché la triste queja
De amor, que tomó en mi corazón
Diciéndome así, con su dulce canción

Amapola, lindísima Amapola
Será siempre mi alma tuya sola
Yo te quiero, amada niña mía
Igual que ama la flor, la luz del día

Amapola, lindísima Amapola
No seas tan ingrata y ámame
Amapola, Amapola
cómo puedes tu vivir tan sola

Yo te quiero...

Wondering Who


Wondering Who
Composer(s): Jackie Jackson; Randy Jackson
Performer(s): The Jacksons



I’ve got you wondering who
Look what you put me through!
No more planning to start anew
I’ve got you wondering who

I come to you to love you once again
But you never were around
How can you say that we were more than friends
When there’s no love to be found?
’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
>From time to time
Look what you put me through!

I thought that you and I had seen the light
During the first time we met
Seem to be a sudden change in life
Is there a need for someone else?
’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
From time to time
Look what you put me through!

Ohh......

Welcome to the night!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night!
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Welcome to the night!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night!
(Baby, you’ve got to go!)

Buh! (Hee-hee-hee!)

I’ve got you wondering who
Look what you put me through!
No more planning to start anew
I’ve got you wondering who

I went along, thought it would be alright
Maybe it happened all too fast?
Lots of torrid danger hampered me
Left me crying all the time!

’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
From time to time
Look what you put me through!

Ohh...

Welcome to the night!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night!
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Welcome to the night!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night!
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)

(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Hee-hee-hee, love is gone!
(Baby, you’ve got to go!!)
Buh!

Amapola, il était une fois: Toi
Petite mélodie
Chanson d'amour

Amapola, les mots que tu ne dis pas
Ont la mélancolie
Des cœur trop lourds

Le bleu, le gris, de tes yeux couleur de pluie
C'est le reflet des larmes
De ceux qui s'aiment
Toutes ces larmes
Qui te réclament
Ta chanson, pour y pleurer quand même

Amapola, l'amour, je ne savais pas
Peut longtemps s'endormir
Aux creux d'un songe

Et puis, parfois, il s'éveille dans d'autres bras
Pour mieux nous souvenir
De ses mensonges

Amapola, ces rêves aussi dorment en toi
Et nos cœurs se souviennent
Mais ils retiennent
Ces larmes là, Amapola
Que les violons pleureront par toi

Amapola, Amapola
Une chanson pour tous ceux qui s'aiment

Wondering Where The Lions Are Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn; and various other artists



Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay The world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun (Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...

Yo seré el viento que va

por amor por amor concebido
me perderé en un momento contigo
por siempre...

Seré tu héroe de amor

Amanhã, Ninguem Sabe


Amanhã, Ninguem Sabe
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Maria Farinha



Hoje, eu quero
Fazer o meu carnaval
Se o tempo passou, espero
Que ninguém me leve a mal
Mas se o samba quer que eu prossiga
Eu não contrario não
Com o samba eu não compro briga
Do samba eu não abro mão

Amanhã, ninguém sabe
Traga-me um violão
Antes que o amor acabe
Traga-me um violão
Traga-me um violão
Antes que o amor acabe

Hoje, nada
Me cala este violão
Eu faço uma batucada
Eu faço uma evoluçao
Quero ver a tristeza de parte
Quero ver o samba ferver
No corpo da porta-estandarte
Que o meu violão vai trazer

Amanhã ninguém sabe
Traga-me a morena
Antes que o amor acabe
Traga-me uma morena
Traga-me uma morena
Antes que o amor acabe

Hoje, pena
Seria esperar em vão
Eu já tenho uma morena
Eu já tenho um violão
Se o violão insistir, na certa
A morena ainda vem dançar
A roda fica aberta
E a banda vai passar

Amanhã, ninguém sabe
No peito de um cantador
Mais um canto sempre cabe
Eu quero cantar o amor
Eu quero cantar o amor
Antes que o amor acabe

Wonderful! Wonderful!


Wonderful! Wonderful!
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer; Ben Raleigh
Performer(s): The Supremes;
Ray Burns; Johnny Mathis; The Tymes



Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and stars
I turn to you and melt in your arms
There we are, darling, only you and I

What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own

And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Amanecí En Tus Brazos


Amanecí En Tus Brazos
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Amanecí otra vez entre tus brazos
desperté llorando de alegría
me cobijé la cara con tus manos
para seguirte amando todavía

Despertaste tú casi dormida
y me querías decir no sé qué cosa
pero callé tu boca con mis besos
y así pasaron muchas, muchas horas

Cuando llegó la noche
apareció la luna
y entró por la ventana

Qué cosa más bonita
cuando la luz del cielo
iluminó tu cara

Yo me volví a meter entre tus brazos
tú me querías decir no sé qué cosa
pero callé tu boca con mis besos
y así pasaron muchas, muchas horas

Refrain:

Eh---yeah

You and your girl things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret

Amanecer


Amanecer
Composer(s): Domínguez - Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Qué musa maravillosa
habrá bajado a besarte
y qué delicia tortuosa
habrá sentido al dejarte

Tú te diste a musicarla
con violines de ambrosía
y a la hora de guardarla
viste tus manos vacías

Pobre insensato pintor
paleta en mano tinta de amanecer
rompiendo sombras, inventando el color
que sólo tú podías, sólo tú creías ver

Así voló tu memoria
aún más allá que tus años
Siempre es noticia una historia
de besos y desengaños

Desde que hallaste la musa
que te llevó a la locura
canta tu línea inconclusa
la misma recta sin cura

Wonderful World Of Sex


Wonderful World Of Sex
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): Steve Goodman



I could learn to understand Swahili by myself
I could even teach it to my good dog, Ralph
I could learn to read you every book up on the shelf
I could learn to tell your fortune like the oracle of Delphi

I could learn to tell you every flower by its color
I could learn to swim as fast as Johnny Weissmuller
But I couldn't never learn to get along without you
Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex

You can get love from your papa or your mama
You can get warm from a Turkish or a sauna
You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna
But you get all three when you neck with me

I really must confess it gets me in the solar plexus
When I think about the differences there are between the sexes
Peanut butter sandwiches are really neat
But when you get right down to it you can't compete with
Good old double S - E - double X is
Camper than batman, bigger than Texas
You're concave and I'm convex
Welcome to the world of sex

Do I love you, is the Pope Catholic?
Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic?
Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic?
Let's us be heterosexually entwined, we fit like a tailored suit dear

I dig you more than I dig root beer
Green Giant peas need a big green pod
I spend a lot of time needing your bod
Walking around through fields of clover
Can't we lie down and talk things over?
You never know whats coming off next
In the wonderful world of sex

Amando Sobre Os Jornais


Amando Sobre Os Jornais
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia



Amando noites afora
Fazendo a cama sobre os jornais
Um pouco jogados fora
Um pouco sábios demais
Esparramados no mundo
Molhamos o mundo com delícias
As nossas peles retintas
De notícias

Amando noites a fio
Tramando coisas sobre os jornais
Fazendo entornar um rio
E arder os canaviais
Das páginas flageladas
Sorrimos, mãos dadas e, inocentes
Lavamos os nossos sexos
Nas enchentes

Amando noites a fundo
Tendo jornais comno cobertor
Podendo abalar o mundo
No embalo do nosso amor
No ardor de tantos abraços
Caíram palácios
Ruiu um império
Os nossos olhos vidrados
De mistério

Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me, too
what a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
don't know what s slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
and if this one could be with you
what a wonderful world this would be

I don't claim to be an 'A' student
but I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me, too
what a wonderful world this would be

Amanda (Don Williams)


Amanda
Composer(s): Bob McDill
First release by: Don Williams - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

Well the measure of people
Don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding thirty
And still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
