La Colina De La Vida
La Colina De La Vida
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero, todo prende de mi sueños
y se acopla en mi espalda y asi subo, muy tranquilo la colina de la vida
Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria, eso es un gran fantasma
creado por generaciones pasadas, atascado en el camino de la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno
la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene
amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Tengo de todo para ver y creer, para odiar o no creer
y muchas veces me encuentro solitario, llorando en el umbral de la vida
Busco hacer pie en el mundo al reves, busco algun buen amigo
para que no me atrape algun dia, temiendo hallarla muerta a la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno
la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene
amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia

Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Composer(s): Bruce Belland - Glen Larson
Performer(s): The Four Preps
Down by the station early in the morning
Met a little girl about as cute as she could be
I turned on my charms and told her that I loved her
I said that she would always be the number one for me
She'd always be my number one girl
I said there'd be no number two or three
Down in the malt shop shortly thereafter
Met another girl about as cute as she could be
I looked for number one and when I didn't see her
I told number two she was the only girl for me
Went to the drug store and nearly lost my life
There I saw my girlfriends, one and two
Standing there together, I knew I was in trouble
But I'm a clever guy I knew what to do
I went on down by the station early in the morning
I was wooing women as cute as they could be
But then I saw another girl lookin kinda pretty
I said I'm through with one and two
I love you number three
I said I love you number three
And here's what she said to me
Just head on down by the station early in the morning
Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea
I want a love that's true sir, not a love like you sir
You weren't true to one and two
You won't be true to me
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little puffer-bellies all in a row
See the station master pull the little handle
Chug, chug, woo, woo, off they go

en medio del carnaval
Planta de aji, planta y tomate
onde’ estara mi cocinertia
hay, tomando mate

Down By The Seaside
Down By The Seaside
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Down by the seaside, see the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, what the little fish are sayin'?
Oh, oh, the people turned away, oh, the people turned away
Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, to pass the time of day
The people turned away, the people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country, hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature, and she will come back again
The people turned away
The people turned away

La Cloche
La Cloche
Composer(s): B. Bower
Performer(s): France Gall
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Je tape à tour de bras
On se moque des doubles croches
Quand mes deux frères jouent avec moi
On met tous les disques à succès
Puis on essaie de les imiter
Ma cloche donne la cadence
Croyez-moi une cloche ça balance
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Oui ça fait du bruit
Pour faire danser tous les amis
Toutes les chansons qu'on joue ensemble
Ont toutes un air qui se ressemble
On n'est pas toujours modestes
On est fiers fiers, de notre orchestre
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Nous, ça nous suffit
Pour faire danser tous les amis
Pour faire danser tous les amis

Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va, no volverá
jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va, no volverá
jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Yo te dejo mi canción arrulladora
y me llevo tu mirar de gran señora
Tu mirada fascinante y misteriosa
a través del antifaz color de rosa
Si recoges el rumor de mis querellas
temblarán en nuestro idilio las estrellas
Mis alondras a tu voz despertarán
y mis noches de dolor con tus ojos se iluminarán
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Se va la clave azul
se va la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Se va la clave azul
se va la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú

Down By The River
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride

Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero - Suso Saiz
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Aquí los girasoles no conocen la niebla
aquí los árboles te dan sombras y calma
aquí el mar sabe lo que hemos olvidado
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Aquí los sabios son los que gobiernan
aquí amamos el orden del azar de la vida
aquí un sueño tiene tu mismo nombre
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Desde todos los siglos
llegan las caravanas a la ciudad del nómada
Aquí la muerte dice nunca, nunca
aquí los ángeles consuelan a los tristes
aquí en los campos crecen amapolas
aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Aquí son bienvenidos los desesperados
Aquí es nuevo el sabor del pan y el vino
Aquí son espontáneos el trabajo y el día
Aquí el viajero puede quedarse cuanto quiera
Desde todos los siglos
llegan las caravanas a la ciudad del nómada

Down By The Millside Alongside The Hillside (You Made All My Dreams Come True)
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry D. Kerr
Dearie today is the day we were wed
Just twenty five years ago
let's take a trip to the old home today
I know that you love it
so, we'll wander
I'm going to dress in my new Sunday clothes
you wear your new gingham gown
We'll get old Dobbin and hitch up the shay
for he knows the road from town
the old road
Down by the millside, alongside the hillside
where I told love's story to you
night shades were falling, and song birds were calling
as you vowed you'd ever be true (and I sighed as I stood by your side)
those were our school days, our old golden rule days
today we will live them all through
for down by the millside, alongside the hillside
you made all my dreams come true

La Città Vecchia
La Città Vecchia
Composer(s): Fabrizio de André
First release by: Fabrizio de André - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Nei quartieri dove il sole del buon Dio non dà i suoi raggi
ha già troppi impegni per scaldar la gente d'altri paraggi
una bimba canta la canzone antica della donnaccia
quello che ancor non sai tu lo imparerai solo qui tra le mie braccia
E se alla sua età le difetterà la competenza
presto affinerà le capacità con l'esperienza
dove sono andati i tempi di una volta per Giunone
quando ci voleva per fare il mestiere anche un po' di vocazione
Una gamba qua, una gamba là, gonfi di vino
quattro pensionati mezzo avvelenati al tavolino
li troverai là, col tempo che fa, estate e inverno
a stratracannare a stramaledire le donne, il tempo ed il governo
Loro cercan là, la felicità dentro a un bicchiere
per dimenticare d'esser stati presi per il sedere
ci sarà allegria anche in agonia col vino forte
porteran sul viso l'ombra di un sorriso tra le braccia della morte
Vecchio professore cosa vai cercando in quel portone
forse quella che sola ti può dare una lezione
quella che di giorno chiami con disprezzo pubblica moglie
Quella che di notte stabilisce il prezzo alle tue voglie
Tu la cercherai, tu la invocherai più di una notte
ti alzerai disfatto rimandando tutto al ventisette
quando incasserai delapiderai mezza pensione
diecimila lire per sentirti dire "micio bello e bamboccione"
Se ti inoltrerai lungo le calate dei vecchi moli
In quell'aria spessa carica di sale, gonfia di odori
lì ci troverai i ladri gli assassini e il tipo strano
quello che ha venduto per tremila lire sua madre a un nano
Se tu penserai, se giudicherai
da buon borghese
li condannerai a cinquemila anni più le spese
ma se capirai, se li cercherai fino in fondo
se non sono gigli son pur sempre figli
vittime di questo mondo

La Citta Degli Altri
La Citta Degli Altri
Performer(s): Pooh
Il primo pane caldo del mattino
l'inchiostro del giornale sulla mano
un caffè di fretta e una sigaretta
il treno non aspetta
La notte sbianca e il buio si colora
le case han gli occhi gialli nell'aurora
la città degli altri suona il suo richiamo
e conta attenta quanti siamo
Non so, se un po' più su dei tetti c'è Dio
se c'è, è tanto che non passa di qui
sta lassù, non sa che in queste strade
il cielo non si vede
Il giorno è una moneta appena spesa
il treno sfonda l'aria verso casa
la città degli altri, la città di rabbia
scompare in fretta nella nebbia
Non so se sopra il mio paese c'è Dio
se c'è, l'incontrerò stasera al bar
gli dirò, bevendo insieme al banco
"Signore, sono stanco!"

Down By The Henry Moore
Down By The Henry Moore
Composer(s): Murray McLauchlin
First release by: Murray McLauchlin - 1974
I walked down to Kensington Market
Bought me a fish to fry
I went to the Silver Dollar
Looked a stranger in the eye
A friend of mine says
That he don't think this town's so out of sight
But he's got shades 'round his soul
And he thinks he's seen the light
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving
Don't you want to get undone
Don't you want to change from losing
Don't you want to have some fun
I went down to the Palm Grove
I was jumpin' around the room
I was wearing my sneakers down
And castin' away my gloom
This fat girl come up and grabbed me
She sat me on her knee
She said you wrote that Farmer's Song
And she spilled a drink on me
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving
Don't you want to get undone
Don't you want to change from losing
Don't you want to have some fun
I went down to the Henry Moore
Skated all in the Square
The moon above my shoulder
And the ice was in my hair
Alone but never lonely
That's how I like to be
If you want to have fun
Like a rock'n roll bum
Don't think the worst of me
Singin' don't you want to keep on moving
Don't you want to get undone
Don't you want to change from losing
Don't you want to have some fun

Composer(s): J. Compairé - J. Mas
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Salgo de la ducha
el agua de colonia me recuerda a ti
busco algo que ponerme
sólo pienso en nuestra cita
Llevo todo el día
esperando ese momento
no te retrases por favor
voy contando los segundos
fumo mucho estoy nervioso
deja de latir tan fuerte, corazón
Tengo mucha suerte
he llegado a tiempo al auto bus
caminando entre la gente
voy corriendo a tu encuentro
de algún jardín he robado dos violetas
son poca cosa, ya lo sé
Pero tengo otro regalo
un secreto que contarte
eres lo que yo esperaba encontrar
Cruzo el disco en rojo
los frenos de los coches suenan a metal
piensan que estoy loco es de alegría
entro en el café
son las doce y un segundo
no te retrases por favor
Trato de tranquilizarme
todavía no es muy tarde
no me importa cuando vengas, pero ven

Down At The Twist And Shout
Down At The Twist And Shout
((Portuguese Version: Sábado Á Noite (Sandy & Júnior))
Composer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
and multiple other artists
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
And here up north it's a cold cold rain
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says: Beausoleil is coming into town
Baby let's go down
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
