Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing


Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing Composer(s): Stevie Wonder First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out

They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...ooh

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
'Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out

Don't you worry 'bout a thing

La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte au gui l'an neuf
L'avait fait la veille
Merveille
Un œuf

De Jeanne
Est morte d'avoir fait
Du moins on le présume
Un rhume
Mauvais

La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte sur son œuf
Et dans son beau costume
De plumes
Tout neuf

La cane
De Jeanne
Ne laissant pas de veuf
C'est nous autres qui eûmes
Les plumes
Et l'œuf

Tous, toutes
Sans doute
Garderons longtemps le
Souvenir de la cane

Don't You Want Me


Don't You Want Me Composer(s): John William Callis - Philip Oakey - Sally Christine Woodall First release by: The Human League - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists



You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

Don't, don't you want me
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back
Or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me baby
Don't you want me
Don't you want me baby
Don't you want me

I was working as as waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But I always knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's something I must do

La Canción Del Trabajo


La Canción Del Trabajo
((Adapted from: Work Song (by Nathaniel Adderley) - 1960; (by Oscar Brown Jr.) - 1960))
Composer(s): Nathaniel Adderley - Oscar Brown Jr. - Manuel Clavero
Performer(s): Raphael - 1966



Arrastrar la dura cadena
Trabajar sin tregua y sin fin
Es lo mismo que una condena
Que ninguno puede eludir
El trabajo nace con la persona
Va grabado sobre su piel
Y ya siempre le acompaña
Como el amigo más fiel
Trabajar con nieve y con frío
Con la fe del que ha de triunfar
Porque el agua que lleva el río
No regresa nunca del mar
El trabajo nace con la persona
Va grabado sobre su piel
Y ya siempre le acompaña
Como el amigo más fiel
Vale más tener confianza
Y luchar por algo mejor
Trabajar con fe y esperanza
Por lograr un mundo de amor

El camino que lleva a belén
baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
los pastorcillos quieren ver a su rey
le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón
al redentor, al redentor
ha nacido en un portal de belén el niño dios
Yo quisiera poner a tus pies
algún presente que te agrade, señor
más, tú ya sabes que soy pobre también
y no poseo más que un viejo tambor
viejo tambor, viejo tambor
en tu honor frente al portal tocaré
con mi tambor
El camino que lleva a belén
yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor
nada mejor hay que yo pueda ofrecer
su ronco acento es un canto de amor
al redentor, al redentor
cuando dios me vió tocando ante el
me sonrió

Don't You Lie To Me


Don't You Lie To Me Composer(s): Tampa Red First release by: Tampa Red - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists



Let's talk it over babe before we start
I heard you had a way of over playing your part
But don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Well there's two kinds of people that I just can't stand
That's a sneakin' woman and a lyin' man
Now don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

I'm gonna love you 'til the cows come home
But don't let me catch you out on your own
And don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Here's a proposition that I'll give to you
I'm gonna give you my love, won't you give me yours too
But don't lie to me
Don't you lie to me
You see it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Don't You Know What The Night Can Do?


Don't You Know What The Night Can Do?
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood



Hear the night music playing?
Don't you know what it's saying?
We should feel it together
For forever

Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing
Feel the music inside you
I'll be there too

Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
Feels so good we're crying
Now's the time when it's down to me and you
Spread these wings - we'll be flying

Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Don't you know what the night can do?

Time to show all your feeling
All the night is revealing
Let the rhythm enfoled you
Let me hold you

Now we turn into music
Now we never will lose it
When the rhythm and night ride
No heart can hide

There are times that never ever come again
Mem'ries there for making
When the night calls, we better let it in
All this love for the taking

Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Won't you help me to let it through?
Don't you know what the night can do?

La Canción Del Elegido


La Canción Del Elegido
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Tania Libertad



Siempre que se hace una historia
se habla de un viejo, de un niño o de se sí
pero mi historia es difícil
no voy a hablarles de un hombre común
Haré la historia de un ser de otro mundo
de un animal de galaxia
Es una historia que tiene que ver
con el curso de la Vía Láctea
Es una historia enterrada
Es sobre un ser de la nada

Nació de una tormenta
en el sol de una noche
el penúltimo mes
Fue de planeta en planeta
buscando agua potable
quizás buscando la vida
o buscando la muerte
eso nunca se sabe

Quizás buscando siluetas
o algo semejante
que fuera adorable
o por lo menos querible
besable, amable

El descubrió que las minas
del rey Salomón
se hallaban en el cielo
y no en el África ardiente
como pensaba la gente
Pero las piedras son frías
y le interesaban calor y alegrías
Las joyas no tenían alma
sólo eran espejos, colores brillantes
y al fin bajo hacia la guerra…
¡perdón! quise decir a la tierra

Supo la historia de un golpe
sintió en su cabeza cristales molidos
y comprendió que la guerra
era la paz del futuro
lo más terrible se aprende enseguida
y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida
La última vez lo vi irse
entre humo y metralla
contento y desnudo
iba matando canallas
con su cañón de futuro

La Camisa


La Camisa
Composer(s): Chabuca Granda
Performer(s): Raphael



¿Quién recogió mi camisa del agua?
Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa
La agité muriendo a la orilla
De mi vida abierta en hoguera
¿Quién vino hasta el río para recogerla?
Mi sangre antigua cuando me moría
Volvía tan dulce mientras se marchaba
Que olvidé el recuerdo y la muerte
Olvidé de donde venía
Tendí mi camisa a morir conmigo
Al recogerla con tu bayoneta
Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva
Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río
Lavó la camisa, lavo la memoria
Era una garganta de luz en el agua
Al recogerla con tu bayoneta
Ondeó en mi camisa tu bandera nueva
Y mi sangre antigua en el limo del río
Lavó la camisa, lavó la memoria
Y yo sé soldado que usas mi camisa
Labrada de patria, guerrilla y canoa
Yo sigo viviendo dentro tu camisa
Vestido de limón debajo de un río

Don't You Know I Care (Or Don't You Care To Know)


Don't You Know I Care (Or Don't You Care To Know) Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Mack David Performer(s): Al Hibbler and multiple other artists



Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?
If you know I care
How could you hurt me so
Darling, you are part of ev'ry breath I take
Will you break my heart
Or give my heart a break?
I can't figure out what love's all about
And where I fit into your scheme
Am I wasting time, please tell me
'Cause I'm down to my last dream
Won't you please be fair
Love me or let me go
Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?

La Calle Donde Vives


La Calle Donde Vives
((Adapted from: On The Street Where You Live (John Michael King) - 1956))
((Dutch Version: De Straat Waar Jij Woont (Richard Prince) - 1960))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Salvador Quiroz - 1958



En tu calle estoy sin saber por qué
Sin pensar camino y llego junto a tu balcón
Es el corazón quien me trae aquí
Es aquí donde vive mi amor

Por primera vez me parece ver
Que los arboles florecen en invierno igual
Que al llegar aquí ha salido el sol
Es aquí donde vive mi amor

Sentir que tú estás muy cerca
Y saber que vives aquí
Pensar que si abro la puerta
En un momento tu sonrisa encontraré

Al amanecer y al anochecer
Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy
En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué
Es aquí donde vive mi amor

Al amanecer y al anochecer
Hoy igual que ayer, mañana igual igual que hoy
En tu calle estoy, no sé por qué
Es aquí donde vive mi amor

La Caisse


La Caisse
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



T'es comme une caisse qui s'traîne
À quatre-vingt de moyenne
Sur une autoroute tout droit
Tu vois donc pas qu'tu t'noies

T'est comme une vie qui se mène
De semaine en semaine
Tu sers à qui tu sers à quoi
T'es qu'une mauvaise gueule de bois

T'es qu'un type qui titube
T'es qu'une mauvaise habitude
T'es comme un film sans fin
Tu vois donc pas qu'tu crains

T'es comme un duel raté
Un camion déglingué
Tu n'as rendez-vous avec rien
T'es même pas le dernier train

T'es qu'un flipper pas cool
Qu'aurait perdu la boule
T'es qu'un durillon de comptoir
Qu'es toujours saoul avant de boire

T'es comme une caisse qui rame
T'es jamais qu'un mauvais drame
T'es qu'un orage asexué
T'es qu'un éclair série B

T'es qu'un mauvais marié
T'es rien qu'un mal aimé
Tu pries pour qui tu pries pour quoi
Tu vois donc pas qu'tu t'noies

T'es comme un jean qui s'frime
T'as honte de tes origines
T'es en skaï et t'es même pas blue
T'es même pas capable d'être fou

T'es qu'une âme déchirée
T'es qu'un amour couturé
Sur ton front y a l'V de la victime
T'es rien qu'un barreau sans lime

T'es qu'un humain qui passe
Tu n'es qu'une gueule qui s'efface
T'es qu'un mauvais matin
Et pourtant moi je t'aime bien

T'es qu'un perdu qui s'casse
T'es jamais qu'une mauvaise race
Tu n'as rendez-vous avec rien
Et c'est pour ça que j'taime bien

T'es qu'un perdu qui s'casse
T'es jamais qu'une mauvaise race
Tu n'as rendez-vous avec rien
Et c'est pour ça que j'taime bien

Je n'ai rendez-vous avec rien
Et c'est pour ça qu'tu m'aimes bien

Non je n'ai rendez-vous avec rien
Et c'est pour ça qu'tu m'aimes bien

So maybe things did not work out this time
Baby don't blame it on yourself
Maybe the guy you choose is not quite right
And that's not an easy thing to tell
So don't cry don't take it quite so hard
It's truly not he end of your world
It's not impossible, you'll find true love again
You gotta open up your heart to know

Don't you deserve someone, baby
Don't you deserve true love
Don't you deserve a chance at true romance
Baby come take a chance with me

Baby the love you lost was not your type
So you got to get him out your head
Baby, baby, baby
Love is a gamble but it can be so nice
So put all your crazy thoughts to bed
So don't try, it's really not that hard to open up yourself to me girl
It's more than possible you'll fall in love again
It's time to open up your heart for love

Don't you deserve someone, baby
Don't you deserve true love
Don't you deserve a chance at true romance
Baby come take a chance with me

I gotta be the one you want
I gotta be the one you need
I gotta be the one you're looking for
Don't you deserve a chance
At true romance
Baby come take a chance with me

Baby don't blame yourself
How could you really tell
Baby don't take it quite so hard
Lay all your thoughts to bed
Get tehm all out your head

I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
I love you so good
I should be the one you love

Don't you deserve a chance
At true romance
Baby come take a chance with me

Cada vez que te veo la enagua rota
el posito de en medio se me alborota, oye
Mi vida, mi mama, me mando un dia
mi vida a soplar la cafetera
mi vida yo por ser muchacho diablo
mi vida, me sople la cocinera
Mi vida, mi mama, me mando un dia
la cocinera si, en la cocina
me sople la sirvienta
dentro de una tina
la cocinera mi alma
en la cocina
Dentro de una tina, si
el niño infame
tambien me habian
seguido para azotarme
si no es por el tejado
me habria azotado
