Don't Make My Baby Blue


Don't Make My Baby Blue ((Italian Version: Non Farla Piangere (I Campioni)) Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil First release by: Frankie Laine - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



I know that I can't keep her
Now she's in love with you
But I just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So I'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So I'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby

You better try your best
Don't make my baby blue
Blue

Ay, Que Gran Felicidad


Ay, Que Gran Felicidad
((Adapted from: Wouldn't It Be Loverly? (by Julie Andrews) - 1956))
((Dutch Version: Zalig Zijn (by Margriet de Groot) - 1960))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas
Performer(s): Cristina Rojas - 1958



Me aburre estar en la ciudad, me largo pa' Paris
Hmmmmm
Y mi costilla va a comprar seis casas en Capri
Hmmmmm
A mí, el doctor me recetó las playas de Biarritz
Hmmmmm
Ay, que gran felicidad

Rojas:
Un cuartito en que de el sol
Una mesa y un colchón
Un gran, un gran sillón
Ay, que gran felicidad

'chos bombones pa' masticar
'chos maderos pa' quemar
Comer, dormir, cantar
Ay, que gran felicidad

Sin un golpe durante el día absolutamente dar
Ande yo caliente y que la gente se ría, Ja!

Una frente a acariciar
Alguien dulce a quien amar
Que cuide bien de mí
Y yo felíz, con ser felíz
Muy felíz, tan felíz
Tan felíz, muy felíz
Tan felíz, muy felíz

Versions In Other Languages: 1963 - T'en Vas Pas Comme Ça (Nancy Holloway) 1964 - Non Dirmi Niente (Ornella Vanoni)



Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Don't pick on the things I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my faults, the way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Now that I'd do anything for you
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Ay Amor!


Ay Amor!
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Te metes en mi vida sin llamar
me alegras y me envuelves de ilusión
después te vas un día, y me ves llorar
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!
Los días son la gloria si estas tú
las noches el infierno si no estas
mi vida a tu lado es a cara o cruz
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!
Eres una dulce espina
eres sal en una herida
eres esa eterna hoguera
que siempre me quema
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!
Eres un inmenso cielo
pero con un sol pequeño
eres como un caramelo
de dulce veneno
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!...¡Ay amor!
Te ríes de un diablo como yo
que compras por la piel de una mujer
me robas la sonrisa, y hasta la razón
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!
Eres una dulce espina
eres sal en una herida
eres esa eterna hoguera
que siempre me quema
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!
Eres un inmenso cielo
pero con un sol pequeño
eres como un caramelo
de dulce veneno
¡ay amor!, ¡ay amor!...¡Ay amor!

Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good


Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good Composer(s): Hugh Cross Performer(s): Roy Acuff and multiple other artists



A laughing baby boy one evening in his play Disturbed the household with his noisy glee I warned him to be quiet but he soon would disobey For he would soon forget a word from me I called him to my side and said, "Now son you go to bed Your conduct has been very, very rude" With quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me "Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good" Don't Papa and I'll be good Don't Papa and I'll be good" That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day "Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good" Our lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam Our boy now in our hearts was very dear We hastened to his bed one night he was talking in his sleep He didn't seem to know that we were near I took him in my arms and found his body "raked" with pain To ease the pain we did the best we could It broke my heart to hear him cryin' loudly in his sleep "Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good" All night and day we watched and prayed, we never left his side To give him up it seemed we never could It broke my heart to hear him crying just before he died "Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good" Don't Papa and I'll be good Don't Papa and I'll be good" That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day "Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good"

Ay! Mourir Pour Toi


Ay! Mourir Pour Toi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Dalida; Dany Brillant



Ay, mourir pour toi
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
Bercé par le son de ta voix

Ay, mourir d'amour
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
Et sans regret quitter le monde
En emportant mon plus beau jour

Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
Ne pas connaître la douleur pour toi
Et la terrible certitude
De la solitude

Ay, mourir pour toi
Prendre le meilleur de nous-mêmes
Dans le souffle de ton "je t'aime"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies

Parle-moi, console-moi
J'ai peur du jour qui va naître
Il sera le dernier peut-être
Que notre bonheur va connaître

Serre-moi, apaise-moi
Quand j'ai l'angoisse du pire
Ne ris pas quand tu m'entends dire
Qu'au fond mourir pour mourir

Ay, mourir pour toi
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
Bercé par le son de ta voix

Ay, mourir d'amour
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
Et sans regret quitter le monde
En emportant mon plus beau jour

Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
Ne pas connaître la douleur par toi
Et la terrible certitude
De la solitude

Ay, mourir pour toi
Prendre le meilleur de nous-mêmes
Dans le souffle de ton "je t'aime"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies
Mourir pour toi

Don't Lose My Number


Don't Lose My Number Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins and multiple other artists



There came a night leaving fear behind
shadows are on the ground
And nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Chorus:
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Searchin' through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop until they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand, nobody asked him why
"Get out of my way", I heard a shout, then a blinding light
All I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Chorus

Don't give up, keep running, keep hiding
Now don't give up, oh Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up, 'cos you know that I am on your side
Don't give up, oh Billy
You better, you better, you better run for your life

Chorus

There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Chorus

Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh Billy

que tu no quieres
quieres mi amor
Because I love you I only want you

Don't Lose Heart (Dan Fogelberg)


Don't Lose Heart
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



"This life is heartless and it's rarely just
Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust
And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust
And steel your soul if you let it
Oh, every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me

Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you

I've spent my life pursuing fortune and fame
Chasing rainbows in a shadow game
And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain
Or why my soul remains so restless

You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall
You've shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl
And when I think that I could lose it all
You give me courage and you tell me

Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you"

Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Ingrata goza tu gusto
dejame a mi padecer
Que una sola vida tengo
y por ti la he de perde

Ay mi palomita
como le gusta su palomar
ay surey, surey
como le gusta su palomar

Matecito sobre el agua
capullito de algodon
Candadito de mi pecho
llave de mi corazon

Ay mi palomita
como le gusta su palomar
ay surey, surey
como le gusta su palomar

Don't Look Now But My Heart Is Showing


Don't Look Now But My Heart Is Showing
Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Dick Haymes, Eileen Wilson, Olga San Juan



If this bliss is love
Why didn’t somebody tell me

Don’t look now but my heart is showing
No matter what I say or do
Can’t hide it, my heart’s Romeo-ing
I can’t stay away from you
You smile and my dreams start hallo-ing
They spin when you come into view
In circles, I may not be going
But I feel I reel with you

When mister kisses miss, no need for words to embroider
When mister kisses miss, changing her name is in order
You smile, and the stardust is glowing
We’re whirling in a world that’s new
Don’t look now but your heart is showing
And it flips and halts and turns somersaults
Darling, it wants to waltz with you

Don’t ask me but here is my answer
I think that you’re magically he
Who could be a love necromancer
Neck-romancing is for me
Don’t stop me but I am replying
I know that you’re magically she
The preacher would like to be tying
As you coo I do with me
Around, round and round
I’m just like a record that’s playing
Repeating the same sound
The needle must like what I’m saying
These wings that I feel I am growing
Belong to someone I never knew
Don’t look now but heaven is showing
And tonight the sky is my sky to fly
Darling, falling in love
Falling in love with you

Aie, Je l'Aime


Aie, Je l'Aime
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Aie je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Qu'il m'enlace, qu'il m'embrasse
Qu'il me frappe ou bien me chasse
S'il me rappelle tout à coup
Tout s'efface et tête basse
Je reviens car quoi qu'il fasse

Parfois sans rien dire
Pendant de longs mois
Nul ne sait pourquoi
Il disparaît mais il revient
Devant son sourire
Moi le voyant là
Je reste sans force et je ne lui demande rien
Dans ses mains mon coeur n'est plus qu'un jeu
L'animal fait de moi ce qu'il veut

Aie je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Il rAieonne, je frissonne
Pourtant si je le questionne
Il met sa joue contre ma joue
Il marmonne et je pardonne
A quoi bon que je m'illusionne
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout

Il aime bien vivre
Dormir au soleil
Et dit en riant que le travail est pour les fous
Et quand il s'enivre
C'est toujours pareil
Il est si heureux qu'il chante, danse et casse tout
Il prétend qu'il est riche à millions
Sa fortune est faite d'illusions

Mais je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Il sait faire pour me plaire
Des choses extraordinaires
Et sachant qu'il est un peu fou
Je tolères ses manières
Car je ne puis me refaire
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout

Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Showing)


Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Showing)
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hank Thompson



He left you flat and crying too the way that you left me
Just when you thought you had things your way
And now I guess you know my Dear what it means to be blue
For consolation hears all I can say

Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
That smile upon your face can not fool me
You’re to blame if I have a way of knowin’
That within your heart there’s only misery

'Cause you’re the one that left me deep in sorrow
Without a soul to tell my troubles to
So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
And to me to me it sure looks good on you

Ah come in Jimmie

'Cause you’re the one that left me deep in sorrow
Without a soul to tell my troubles to
So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
And to me to me it sure looks good on you

Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí


Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Y yo que estaba de vuelta de todas las idas
con el cima herida
te quiero, ya ves
Seré lo que tú prefieras
tu luz o tu sombra
o acaso una alfombra
besando tus pies
Ay de ti, ay de mí
ni tú ni yo somos culpables
infelices locos que caímos en este amor
que es un error
imperdonable
ay de ti, ay de mí
Y tú que siempre decías ser inteligente
no como esa gente
que muere de amor
Así sabrás que la rosa es rosa por bella
y no porque en ella
respire una flor...
Ay de ti, ay de mi..
la vida es la consentida, feroz dictadura
de una criatura
que juega a mandar
Ni tú ni yo somos nadie, ni hacemos historia
pues somos la escoria
que aun puede quemar
Ay de ti, ay de mí...

Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)


Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969



Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plough?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too

Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too

Who will take the coal from the mines?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Ay Catamarca, madre del canto
por estas venas arde tu sol
por estas venas arde tu sol
Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban
los ojos míos poderte ver

Fuiste la cuna de mis abuelos
tu claro cielo los vio renacer
los vio renacer
Y allí mi madre, gracioso mimbre
moreno pelo, se hizo mujer
moreno pelo, se hizo mujer
Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban
los ojos míos poderte ver
poderte ver...
Ay Catamarca, ay Catamarca
catamarqueño debiera ser
catamarqueño debiera ser
catamarqueño debiera ser...

Don't Look In My Eyes


Don't Look In My Eyes Composer(s): Brian Potter - Frank Wildhorn Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



All my memory is safely packed
And my dreams are neatly folded away
I’ve got nothing to show
To a love that might have told okay
All the tables and chairs
They’re standing empty and bare
And there isn’t any sign
You were here
So jsut walk out of the door
Try not to get too near

You might look in my eyes
And see all the pain
And sadness deep inside
Don’t look in my eyes
That’s where I keep the tears I can’t hide
If you’ve just gone, it’ll be alright
I know I’ll get through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don’t look in my eyes

All our photographs are stored away
And our letters are there burned in the fire
There’s nothing left here
That make me believer
We had nights of tender love and desire
If this seems to be gray
I’d like to hide away
There’s nothing to remind me of you
When you walk out of the door
Just be sure whatever you do

Don’t look in my eyes
And see all the pains
And sadness deep inside
Don’t look in my eyes
That’s where I keep the tears I can’t hide
If you’ve just gone, it’ll be alright
I know I’ll make it through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don’t look in my eyes

Don't Look Down


Don't Look Down Composer(s): Colin Allen - Mick Ronson Performer(s): Mick Ronson



Don't know what I'm doing here, but I say it again
Don't know what I'm doing here, but you might know my name
Room full of faces laughing, I'm so alone
Feel a little strange, 'cause I'm so far from home

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Yeah, don't look down

Had a woman's love, but she sent me away
Can't live with a broken heart, but there's no place to stay
I won't be crying, I don't have the time
Better keep my head on straight, 'cause I'm walking the line

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't look down

Getting kinda scared but you see, I'm here just the same
Gonna face the day, 'cause there's no one else I can blame
I got my trouble, I'll get it over and done
I'll never get too far if I keep trying to run

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
