Anything New Gets Old (Except My Love For You)
Anything New Gets Old (Except My Love For You)
Composer(s): Don Gibson
Performer(s): Don Gibson
Anything new gets old except my love for you
It goes on and on it's forever true
I'll forever love you oh my whole life through
Anything new gets old except my love for you
Anything new gets old except the way you smile
The tenderness of every kiss and those pretty blue eyes
I'll forever love you there'll be no one new
Anything new gets old except my love for you
You're the only good thing to me goodbye to the blues and misery
No more lonely nights being so blue no more lonely hours without you
Anything new gets old ...

Desert Pete
Desert Pete
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
I was travellin' West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run
Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin' sun
I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump
But I tell ya I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water pump
I took it to be a mirage at first, it'll fool a thirsty man
Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin' powder can
"This pump is old", the note began, "but she works so give'r a try"
"I put a new sucker washer in 'er, you may find the leather dry"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Yeah, you'll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there's a fire"
"Under that rock you'll find some water I left in a bitters jar"
"Now there's just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin' first"
"You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you'll quench your thirst"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin' was ever prettier to my eye
And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry
But the note went on "have faith my friend, there's water down below"
"You got to give until you get-I'm the one who ought to know"
So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin' and I heard a beautiful sound
Of water bubblin' and splashin' up outta that hole in the ground
I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat
I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"

Desert Moon
Desert Moon
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Dennis DeYoung
"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before
I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away
She was standing in the rain
Trying hard to speak my name
They say first love never runs dry
The waiter poured our memories into tiny cups
We stumbled over words we longed to hear
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up
When a whistle cut the night
And shook silence from our lives
As the last train rolled towards the dune
Those summer nights when we were young
We bragged of things we'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
And in our haste to grow too soon
We left our innocence on Desert Moon
We were dreamers, only dreamers
On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon
On Desert Moon, Desert Moon
I still can hear the whisper of the summer night
It echoes in the corners of my heart
The night we stood and waited for the desert train
All the words we meant to say
All the chances swept away
Still remain on the road to the dune
Those summer nights when we were young
We bragged of things we'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
Moments pass, and time moves on
But dreams remain for just as long
As there's dreamers, all the dreamers
On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon
On Desert Moon, Desert Moon

Anything Is Nice If It Comes From Dixieland
Anything Is Nice If It Comes From Dixieland
Composer(s): Milton Ager - Grant Clarke - George W. Meyer
Performer(s): Johnny Maddox
Every winter you will notice that the birdies in the sky
To the south will always fly
Now perhaps you're wondering why
It's a land of sunshine
And the only place a real wise bird should be
There's a lot of good things waiting there
For you and me
Dixie, Dixie is a garden far away from snow and ice
It's a perfect paradise
And the home of everything nice
Everybody loves it
'Cause they know about it's many different charms
Like a mother she will welcome you
With open arms
Just to make our clothes the cotton grows
In dear old Alabam
Each hungry mouth looks to the South
For sweet Virginia ham
From Tennessee comes melody
That's played by ev'ry band
And if you're talking of chicken
Oh, Maryland!
Louisiana sugar is sweeter than the rose
Just thank old Carolina
That's where the Bull Durham grows
If you're dreaming of a girl to love
That's the place to win her hand
Take my advice
Anything is nice
If it comes from Dixieland

Deseo (Luis Eduardo Aute)
Deseo
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Desea es el uno
deseo es la idea
deseo es el surco
que deja una estrella
Deseo es espejo
deseo es enigma
deseo es el verbo
que engendra la vida
Deseo es la pregunta
que no tiene respuesta
deseo, deseo
deseo es...
deseo es...
ese amor que no quiere ser un
sentimiento
si no es para observarse en el
conocimiento
deseo es...
deseo es...
Deseo es eterno
deseo es principio
deseo es encuentro
en el infinito
Deseo es el fuego
deseo es el rayo
deseo es el beso
de signos contrarios
Deseo es la pregunta...

Wenn Erst Der Abend Kommt
Wenn Erst Der Abend Kommt
Performer(s): Peter Alexander & Karl Loubebr>
Wenn erst der Abend kommt
und wenn es dunkel wird
dann bist du immer so allein
Dann wird das Herz dir eng und
du hast Angst davor
es könnt dein Leben
dann so sein
Ich hab' es nie dir gesagt
doch mir geht's grade so wie dir
Und wenn eine Tür geht
dann bild' ich mir ein
du könnt'st es sein
Wenn erst der Abend und wenn es dunkel wird
dann tritt dein Schatten zu mir ein
Das Leben rings um mich her
das ist so fremd mir und so feind
doch wenn eine Tür geht
dann bild' ich mir ein
du könnt'st es sein
Wenn erst der Abend kommt und
wenn es dunkel wird
dann bin ich immer so allein

Deseo (Juan Carlos Baglietto)
Deseo
Composer(s): Pedro Guera
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Pedro Guerra
Te seguiré hasta el final
te buscaré en todas partes
bajo la luz de la sombra
en los dibujos del aire
Te seguiré hasta el final
te pediré de rodillas
que te desnudes amor
te mostraré mis heridas
Y con las luces del alba
antes que todos despierten
se hará ceniza el deseo
me marcharé para siempre
Te seguiré hasta el final
entre los musgos del bosque
te pediré tantas veces
que hagamos nuestra la noche
Te seguiré hasta el final
con el tesón del acero
te buscaré por la lluvia
para mojarme en tu beso
Y con las luces del alba
antes que todos despierten
se hará ceniza el deseo
me marcharé para siempre

Anything I Dream Is Possible
Anything I Dream Is Possible
((French Version: Tout Ce Que Je Rêve (by Maurice Chevalier))
Composer(s): Billy Reid
Performer(s): Dorothy Squires; London Piano-Accordeon Band; Doreen Lundy
Anything I dream is possible
Especially when I’m Dreaming of you
Nothing in this world’s impossible
It sounds a little crazy but it’s true
I’d swim the highest mountain
I’d climb the mighty sea
I know I said it wrong but
That’s what you do to me
Still anything I dream is possible
But only you can make it all come true
Anything I dream is possible
Especially when I’m Dreaming of you
Nothing in this world’s impossible
It sounds a little crazy but it’s true
I’d swim the highest mountain
I’d climb the mighty sea
I know I said it wrong but
That’s what you do to me
Still anything I dream is possible
But only you can make it all come true
Yes only you can make it all come true

Desencontro
Desencontro
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists
A sua lembrança me dói tanto
Eu canto pra ver
Se espanto esse mal
Mas só sei dizer
Um verso banal
Fala em você
Canta você
É sempre igual
Sobrou desse nosso desencontro
Um conto de amor
Sem porto final
Retrato sem cor
Jogado aos meus pés
E saudades fúteis
Saudades frágeis
Meros papéis
Não sei se você ainda é a mesma
Ou se cortou os cabelos
Rasgou o que é meu
Se ainda tem saudades
E sofre como eu
Ou tudo já passou
Já tem um novo amor
Já me esqueceu

Desden
Desden
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Mario Battistella
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Rozenda Bernal; Mayel Varrera
El día que comparezcas
ante el tribunal de Dios
a dar cuenta de mi vida
que me complicaste vos
el día que francamente
tenga yo que declarar
la verdad pura y palpable
que a Dios no puede escapar
y le digas que he faltado
a su Ley de mala fe
al hacer de vos mi culto
al amarte más que a Él
que robé por tu cariño
que maté ciego de amor
¡Pueda ser que el Dios piadoso
quiera darme su perdón!
Desdeñé mi vida entera
en la hoguera de tu amor
esperando lo que fuera
sin decirte ni siquiera
que es mi pena y mi dolor
Sin embargo ante el Eterno
será el mismo mi desdén
y en mi amor profundo y tierno
por seguirte hasta el Infierno
yo despreciaré el Edén
Pero el día de tu juicio
yo no sé qué le dirás
cuando sepan que has pecado
por capricho y vanidad
cuando sientas la mirada
penetrante del Señor
que te llegará hasta el alma
como un rayo escrutador
y te acuse tu conciencia
al mirar aquel puñal
que vos misma tan cobarde
le entregaste a mi rival
que, no contenta con eso
me mandaste a la prisión
¡Por más que vos te arrepientas
no podrás tener perdón!

Anything Goes
Anything Goes
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Ethel Merman - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
Times have changed
And we’ve ofter rewound the clock
Since the puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth rock
If today any shock they might try to stem
’stead of landing of Plymouth rock
Plymouth rock would land on them
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now God knows
Anything goes
Good authors to
Who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose
Anyhting goes
If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Why nobody will oppose
When every night
The set thats smart
Is intruding on nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes
When Mrs. Ned McClean God bless her
Can get Russian reds to yes her
Than I suppose
Anything goes
When Rockafeller still can hoard
Enough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And days night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once owned several châteaux
When folks
Who still can ride in Jitney’s
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney’s
Lack baby clo’es
Anything goes
When Sam Goldwyn
Can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction
Than Anna shows
Anything goes
When you hear that
Lady Mendl standing up
Now turns a handspring landing up
On her toes
Anything goes
Just think of those shocks you’ve got
And those knocks you’ve got
And those blues you’ve got
From those news you’ve got
And those pains you’ve got
(if any brains you’ve got)
From those little radios
So Mrs. R.
With all her trimmin’s
Can broadcast a bed from Simmon’s
Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes

Desde Tu Corazón
Desde Tu Corazón
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
Dudo que se pierda aquel viejo recuerdo
me prendo en su cola en cualquier momento
dime si voy me doy una baño y me voy
hacia tu invitacion
Mi vida siente que palpita tu amor
en aquel pueblo chico del sol
justificando mi cabeza perdida
quiza siempre te diga que todo ya paso
Es que a cierta edad hay una inmensa pared
que a veces es preciso volve-e-e---er
a saltar, desde tu corazon nuevamente
uh, uh, uy
Dudo si alguna vez yo me pregunte
sobre que mundo he parado mis pies
dime por que viejo recuerdo por que
me haces girar atras
Presiento que todas mis fuerzas no estan
cabalgando hacia el mismo lugar
suelta mi brazo que me estan esperando
no me hagas morir solitario

Desde La Lluvia
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Llueve, tras la ventana
y yo en la cama
sin poder dormir
Llueve, de madrugada
sobre mi almohada
llueve por ti
Llueve, llueve, llueve
sobre mi...
y en mi corazón
porque no estás aquí
Siempre llueve, llueve
Llueve...
y no podré esperar el sol
porque hay nubes de dolor
aquí...
Y en tu ventana sentirás
la lluvia
y no te acordarás
de mí
Cae la lluvia de invierno
y canta en los techos
sobre Madrid
una canción de silencios
de agua y de viento
que viene a mí
Llueve, llueve, llueve
sobre mí

Anything For You
From the show : A Dangerous Maid - 1921
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Vinton Freedley
I've one aim in life
And that is winning you
If you'll be my wife
There's nothing I won't do
To bring you joy, dear
Yes, I'm the boy, dear
Who'd do the darndest all he
Could to be your Walter Raleigh
Just tell me what to do
I'll more than see it through
Dear, I'll do anything for you
I'll buy insurance from your brother
I'll even learn to like your mother
With you I'll always brave
The bargain sales you crave
I'll be your everlasting slave
And if the cook should get too frisky
Although the task is rather risky
You'll find that I, myself
Will tell her she is through
Dear, I'll do anything for you
I'll let you choose my hats
And pick out my cravats
You'll be my connoisseur of spats
I'll even smoke cigars you buy me
And always pay your bills when they eye me
You'll order all you see
You'll charge it C.O.D.
And never hear a word from me
Then what is more, dear, for good measure
All your father's jokes I'll treasure
I'm going to laugh at them
Until I'm black-and-blue
Dear, I'll do anything for you

Desde Dónde
Desde Dónde
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Desde dónde el tiempo se hace macho
Desde dónde las manos quedan ciegas
de tanto hachar y hachar el monte ajeno
Desde dónde no queda ni un solo juez
o Comisario amigo
Desde dónde no queda ni una lagrima
que salga al alba a despertar lo humano
Desde dónde la tierra es malparida
que sólo da algodón que nunca abriga!
Dónde los niños quedan ciegos
para no ver el llanto de la madre
Dónde las hembras malparen bajo un techo
se sacuden la sangre y nuevamente al yugo
Desde dónde La Forestal te arranca con sus garfios
de hambre en hambre, el intestino
Donde la boca reseca de tabaco amargo
vomita el odio en cuajaron de sangre
Desde allí
Desde el remoto trajinar del Chaco
me viene arando este canto hecho alarido!
