Doonaree


Doonaree
Composer(s): Eilish Boland
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and various other artists



If you ever go to Ireland
I'm sure you will agree
To take the road from Dublin town
Way down to Doonaree
'Tis there you'll find a wishing well
Beyond a chestnut tree
In a shady nook, by a winding brook
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge
Above the rippling waterfall
But to go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

And if you take the hilly path
To the woods where bluebells grow
Where we as barefoot children played
So many years ago
You'll find a slumbering castle there
Enshrined in memory
In a shady nook, by a winding brook
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge
Above the rippling waterfall
But to go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

To go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

Back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

Das Glück kam zu mir wie ein Traum
Musik aus dem endlosen Raum
so wie ein Sonnenstrahl
auf zartem Blütentau
im ersten Morgengraum
so war dein Kuß

Noch nie war das Glück mir so nah
noch nie war ein Herz für mich da
die MAske zerbrach
ich hab dein Gesicht gesehen
die Zeit blieb stehen
ein vergessener Kuß
ein verlorener Blick
kommen nie mehr im Leben zurück

Noch nie war das Glück mir so nah
noch nie war ein Herz für mich da

Dooley


Dooley Composer(s): Rodney Dillard - Mitch Jayne Performer(s): The Dillards and multiple other artists



Dooley was a good old man, lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters and a forty gallon still
One gal watched the boiler, the other watched the spout
and mama corked the bottles when old Dooley fetched them out

Chorus
Dooley, slippin' up the holler, Dooley, tryin' to make a dollar
Dooley, gimmee a swaller and I'll pay you back some day

They revenuers came for him, a-slippin' thru the woods
Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods
Dooley was a trader when into town he come
Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the ton

chorus...

I remember very well the day old Dooley died
the women folk looked sorry and the men stood 'round and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain, he lies there all alone
they put a jug beside him and a barrel for a stone

chorus...

La Canzone Di Marinella


La Canzone Di Marinella
((French Version: La Romance De Marinelle (by Roberto Ferri) - 2003))
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Questa di Marinella è la storia vera
che scivolò nel fiume a primavera
ma il vento che la vide così bella
dal fiume la portò sopra una stella
Sola senza il ricordo di un dolore
vivevi senza il sogno di un amore
ma un re senza corona e senza scorta
bussò tre volte un giorno alla tua porta
Bianco come la luna il suo cappello
come l'amore rosso il suo mantello
tu lo seguisti senza una ragione
come un ragazzo segue un aquilone
E c'era il sole e avevi gli occhi belli
lui ti baciò le labbra ed i capelli
c'era la luna e avevi gli occhi stanchi
lui pose le sue mani suoi tuoi fianchi
Furono baci e furono sorrisi
poi furono soltanto i fiordalisi
che videro con gli occhi delle stelle
fremere al vento e ai baci la tua pelle
Dicono poi che mentre ritornavi
nel fiume chissà come scivolavi
e lui che non ti volle creder morta
bussò cent'anni ancora alla tua porta
Questa è la tua canzone Marinella
che sei volata in cielo su una stella
e come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose
E come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose

Doo Dah Blues


Doo Dah Blues
Composer(s): Fred Rose - Eddie White



What will become of me
what will become of me
something it's plain to see is wrong with me
yes wrong with me
I'm always sighing I'm always crying
Sad am I
here's the reason why
Just only yesterday my sweetie went away
I thought t'was all in play but when I heard her say
"Doo Dah, good-bye to you
Doo Dah, that means that I'm thru"
Oh! Lordy

You've heard my tale of woe
and now I know you know just why I'm worried so
Yes worried so and flurried so
I loved her only that's why I'm lonely
and I miss most of all her kiss
maybe if she could see
Just what she did to me
sorry perhaps she'd be and set my poor heart free
but I suppose she's thru
there's nothing else I can do

Oh! those Doo Dah Blues
I want to lose those Doo Dah Blues
for all night long till early dawn they seem to come and never leave me
Lordy but they grieve me
Do they, they do I'll say they do
Oh! I know those Doo Dah Blues will sure refuse poor me to lose
I've got 'em now and oh!
somehow I know that if you'd had 'em
you'd a long to lose the Doo Dah Blues

La Canzone Dell'amore Perduto


La Canzone Dell'amore Perduto
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Ricordi sbocciavano le viole
con le nostre parole
"non ci lasceremo mai
mai e poi mai"
Vorrei dirti, ora, le stesse cose
ma come fan presto, amore
ad appassire le rose
così per noi
L'amore che strappa i capelli
é perduto ormai
Non resta che qualche svogliata carezza
e un po' di tenerezza
E quando ti troverai in mano
quei fiori appassiti
al sole di un aprile
ormai lontano li rimpiangerai
Ma sarà la prima
che incontri per strada
che tu coprirai d'oro
per un bacio mai dato
per un amore nuovo
E sarà la prima che incontri per strada
che tu coprirai d'oro
per un bacio mai dato
per un amore nuovo

Don't You Worry, Dearie


Don't You Worry, Dearie
Composer(s): Al. W. Morse - Percy Wenrich



A winsome little maid in an everglade
With her soldier boy in blue
Maiden softly sighs lovelight in her eyes
For she loves him fond and true
Boy has come to tell girl he loves so well
Duty calls him far away
Maiden is in tears for his life she fears
Then she hears him softly say

The war is over now boy has kept his vow
Nothing can their love destroy
They are not alone in their little home
There's a bouncing baby boy
Happy is their lot, trouble they forgot
As they stand behind his bed
Oft when stars shine bright they recall the night
When to her he softly said

Don't you worry Dearie
Dearie don't you sigh
See the moon is smiling
In the deep blue sky
Soon I'll be returning
Then I'll claim my own
Wedding bells will gaily ring
And the birds will sweetly sing
Little girlie when I come back home

La Canzone Del Sole


La Canzone Del Sole
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Le bionde trecce
gli occhi azzurri e poi
le tue calzette rosse
e l'innocenza sulle gote tue
due arance ancor più rosse
e la cantina buia dove noi
respiravamo piano
e le tue corse, l'eco dei tuoi no,oh no
mi stai facendo paura
Dove sei stata
cosa hai fatto mai?
Una donna, donna
dimmi
cosa vuol dir sono una donna ormai
Ma quante braccia
ti hanno stretto, tu lo sai
per diventar quel che sei
che importa tanto tu non me lo dirai
purtroppo
Ma ti ricordi l'acqua verde e noi
le rocce, bianco e il fondo
di che colore sono gli occhi tuoi
se me lo chiedi non rispondo
O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne...
tu eri chiaro e trasparente come me
O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne...
tu eri chiaro e trasparente come me
Le biciclette abbandonate sopra
il prato e poi
noi due distesi all'ombra
un fiore in bocca può servire, sai
più allegro tutto sembra
e d'improvviso quel silenzio fra noi
e quel tuo sguardo strano
ti cade il fiore dalla bocca e poi
oh no, ferma, ti prego la mano
Dove sei stata
cos'hai fatto mai?
Una donna, donna
donna, dimmi
cosa vuol dir sono una donna ormai
Io non conosco quel sorriso sicuro che hai
non so chi sei, non so più chi sei
mi fai paura oramai
purtroppo
Ma ti ricordi le onde grandi e noi
gli spruzzi e le tue risa
cos'è rimasto in fondo agli occhi tuoi
la fiamma è spenta o è accesa?
O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne...
Il sole quando sorge,sorge piano e poi
la luce si diffonde tutto intorno a noi
le ombre dei fantasmi della notte
sono alberi e cespugli ancora in fiore
sono gli occhi di una donna ancora
pieni d'amore

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

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 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
