Dream Lover (Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy)


Dream Lover
Composer(s): Clifford Grey - Victor Schertzinger Performer(s): Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy and multiple other artists



There's a land of charm that I know
Land of sweet romance where I love to go
And it falls at my door
In the gloom where the shadows dream

Someone I meet there waits for me
Someone tender as a lover should be
And I whisper each night
As I close my eyes in sleep

Dream lover, fold your arms around me
Dream lover, your romance has found me
I'm here in your spell, knowing so well
Dreams never tell

We two can leave the world behind us
Nobody indiscreet can find us
All dreams are of mine, secrets divine
I will share them with you

We two can leave the world behind us
Nobody indiscreet can find us
All dreams are of mine, secrets divine
I will share them with you

A New Love Is Old


A New Love Is Old
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Otto A. Harbach
Performer(s): Jerome Kern; Georges Metaxa



She brings you a new smile
For new lovers do smile
She tends you a new smile
A new love is told
She brings you some new thrills
Some tender and true thrills
but after a few thrills
Your new love is old!

When she makes signs at you and you realise that you adore her
And when you understand sweet arms full of wonder stand before you
Take what she offers and be gay
Love hates a man who runs away!
Hearts ache and lips can smile
At thoughts that recall another day

She brings you a new smile
For new lovers do smile
She tends you a new smile
A new love is told
She brings you some new thrills
Some tender and true thrills
but after a few thrills
Your new love is old!

She brings you some new thrills
Some tender and true thrills
but after a few thrills
Your new love is old!

Dream Lover (Bobby Darin)


Dream Lover
((French Version: J'ai Rêvé (Dalida)) Composer(s): Bobby Darin First release by: Bobby Darin - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists



Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold
To feel you near as I grow old?
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so
I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone

No, I don't wanna dream

La Espera


La Espera
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner



Hace tanto tiempo
Que estoy esperando
Que se cumplan las promesas
De este amor

Que ya no respiro
Si no es a tu lado
Que ya no me reconozco
Entre tanta soledad

Dame amor
Dame un sol
Dame un sueño sin dolor
Para amarte
Para alcanzarte

Dame amor
Dame un sol
Dame un sueño sin dolor
Para amarte
Para encontrarte
De una vez

Hace tanto tiempo
Que llegó el invierno
Que los duendes no me llaman
No me vienen a buscar

Hace tantas noches
Vivo en el hastío
En un mundo de recuerdos
Que no me deja escapar

Si preguntas por mí
Si te decides por mí
Ya no quiero estar esperando

Dream For Your Inspiration


Dream For Your Inspiration
Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello



I used to think that I was just a no-count
I used to think that I would get nowhere
But then I learned that when I'm feelin' low down
I'm back up on my feet if I remember all my dreams

I used to get to feeling so downhearted
I used to even hate the color green
But every time I think I can't get started
I think of all my dreams and then I'm right back on the beam

You've got to dream for your inspiration
Dream of what you can do
Cause with your dreams and some perspiration
Anything within your dreaming is within your reach

I used to think that I was nothing special
That I was just another pretty face
But now I know that I will be successful
If I always do just what I really want to do

Dream of your secret wishes
Dream of your highest hopes
'Cause if you dream
You can make your dreams come true

When you've fin'lly decided
Things aren't as bad as they seem
You just can't deny it
Where there's a will there's a dream

Dream for your inspiration
Dream of what you can do
'Cause if you dream
You can make your dreams come true
You've got to dream, dream, dream

La Escalera


La Escalera
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Iba silbando mi trino
por una calle cualquiera
cuando a un lado del camino
me encontré con la escalera
Era una escala sencilla
de rústico enmaderado
desde la calle amarilla
hasta el rojo de un tejado

¿Qué se verá desde el techo?
dijo la voz de un extraño
y sin meditar el trecho
le puse afán al peldaño
La brisa me acompañaba
en el ascenso del alma
y mi camisa volaba
junto al sinsonte y la palma

Mientras más ganaba altura
la calle me parecía
más pequeña, menos dura
como de juguetería
Y sucedió de repente
que después de alimentarme
con la visión diferente
sólo quedaba bajarme

Dejé la altura en su calma
dejé el cielo en su horizonte
siguió batiendo la palma
siguió volando el sinsonte
Me encontré con la escalera
cuando a un lado del camino
por una calle cualquiera
iba silbando mi trino

La Era Está Pariendo Un Corazón


La Era Está Pariendo Un Corazón
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Omara Portuondo



Le he preguntado a mi sombra
a ver como ando para reírme
mientras el llanto, con voz de templo
rompe en la sala
regando el tiempo

Mi sombra dice que reírse
es ver los llantos como mi llanto
y me he callado, desesperado
y escucho entonces
la tierra llora

La era está pariendo un corazón
no puede más, se muere de dolor
y hay que acudir corriendo
pues se cae el porvenir
en cualquier selva del mundo
en cualquier calle

Debo dejar la casa y el sillón
la madre vive hasta que muere el sol
y hay que quemar el cielo si es preciso por vivir
por cualquier hombre del mundo
por cualquier casa

Dream Away


Dream Away
Composer(s): John Williams - Paul Williams Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

For the last time we have tasted
love's sweet tears by the fire's glow
If our hearts are strong there'll be
no long good-byes when it's time to go
But the strongest torch is sometimes broken
As the deepest vows aren't always spoken
And the greatest wounds, we hide inside ourselves
Where they never show

Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

When the Winter weds the Northern Wind
The child they bear is snow
And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids
But the trees will grow
Sun and Earth in time will come together
God will give us back our summer weather
But the mem'ries of that first sweet
Taste of love pass away so slow

Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

When there's no room left to live inside ourselves
Do we dream away

La Entrega


La Entrega
Composer(s): Gernán Lugo
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Me entrego a ti sin condición alguna
haz de mi vida entera lo que quieras
Con tal de que tu amor sea mi fortuna
me dispongo a pecar si lo pidieras

No importa que me pidas lo imposible
haría bien o mal si lo exigieras
Sería capaz de todo lo indecible
a fin de que en tus brazos me durmiera

Haría por ti con sinceridad
mil cosas si me las ordenas
Me esclavizaría toda una eternidad
por sólo librarte de penas

Mi vida vendería fácilmente
y cargaría la cruz si me la dieras
Renunciaría a todo simplemente
a cambio de que un día me quisieras

Haría por ti con sinceridad
mil cosas si me las ordenas
Me esclavizaría toda una eternidad
por sólo librarte de penas

Mi vida vendería fácilmente
y cargaría la cruz si me la dieras
Renunciaría a todo simplemente
a cambio de que un día me quisieras

Can ye no hush your weepin'
all the wee lambs are sleepin'
Birdies are nestlin' nestlin' together
Dream Angus is hirplin' her the heather

Hush ye my baby and sleep without fear

List' to the curlew cryin'
Faintly the echos dyin'
Even the birdies and the beasties are sleepin'
But my bonny bairn is weepin' weepin'

Las flores y la lluvia me acompañan en mis horas de nostalgia y de tristeza me arrebata el pensamiento la distancia para hacer de mi vida una pavesa Ya la enramada se secó el cielo el agua le negó así tu altivo corazón no me escuchó Como ave errante viviré buscando alivio a mi dolor con la añoranza de tu amor yo moriré Ya la enramada se secó el cielo el agua le negó Como ave errante viviré buscando alivio a mi dolor con la añoranza de tu amor yo moriré

La Enorme Distancia


La Enorme Distancia
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Estoy tan lejos de ti
y a pesar de la enorme distancia
te siento juntito a mi, corazon, corazon
alma con alma
y siento en mi ser tus besos
no importa que estes tan lejos

Estoy pensando en tu amor
y a lo loco platico contigo
te cuento de mi dolor
y aunque me hagas feliz, no te lo digo
y vuelvo a sentir tus besos
no importa que estes tan lejos

El cielo empiezo a clarear
y mis ojos se llenan de sueno
contigo voy a sonar
porque quieran o no
yo soy tu dueno
y siempre tendre tus besos
no importa que estes tan lejos

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

La Edad De La Mujer


La Edad De La Mujer
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara



La mujer que a los veinte esta soltera
es porque se ha caido de la azotea
La mujer que a los treinta no tiene novio
es porque le ha puesto llave al escritorio

Esta tona’ me la enseño una tia mia
que me decia: la esperanza
es lo ultimo que se pierde
y murio soltera fijense

La mujer que a los cuarenta no se ha casado
es porque tiene el cuarto desalojado
La mujer que a los cincuenta quiere estar sola
es que se le ha enfriado la cacerola

Dream (Pied Pipers)


Dream Composer(s): Johnny Mercer First release by: Pied Pipers - 1945 Covered by multiple other artists



Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick your fav'rite brand, and

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So, dream when the day is through
Dream and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

La Dulce Mimi


La Dulce Mimi
Performer(s): Raphael



No Se Sabe Donde Suena Un Acordeon
Ladra Un Perro Loco A Una Nube Gris
Canta Un Marinero Que Anda Sin Timon
Y Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi

Hay Un Olor Fuerte Que Llego Del Mar
Con Su Andar Pesado, Torpe Y De Barril
Sin Hombre Que Pueda De Nuevo Estrenar
Pasa, Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi

La Dulce Mimi
Manchon De Carmin
Boca Desdentada
La Dulce Mimi
Amor De Serrin
En Cama Sudada

La Noche Vendra Y Sola Estara
Sola, Sin Hombre Y Sin Pan
¡ay¡ ¡ay Que Pena Me Da!
La Dulce Mimi

Del Ayer Conserva Un Negro Manton
Y Un Retrato Antiguo Que Alumbra Un Candil
Igual Que Un Fantasma Por El Callejon
Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi

Al Primer Borracho Que Encontro Al Pasar
Se Ofrecio Lo Mismo Que Una Vieja Actriz
Con Los Pies De Plomo Y La Soledad
Pasa Con Sus Flores La Dulce Mimi

Dreadlock Holiday


Dreadlock Holiday
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart Performer(s): 10cc - 1978



I was walkin' down the street
concentrating on trucking right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked 'round in a state of fright

I saw four faces, one mad; a brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other

I say, I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it
I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it

Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

Well, he looked down on my silver chain
He said: 'I'll give you one dollar'
I said: 'You've got to be joking, man
It was a present from me mother'

He said: 'I like it, I want it, I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You better understand
That you're alone (a long way from home)

And I say, I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it
I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it

Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer me pitch
Don't you walk through my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

I hurried back to the swimming pool
sinking Pina Colada
I heard a dark voice beside me say
'Would you like something harder?'

She said: 'I've got it, you want it, my harvest is the best
And if you try it
You'll like it and whollow in a Dreadlock holiday

And I say, don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her
Don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her, oh yea

Don't you walk through her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through her words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday)
I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday)
I don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her (Dreadlock holiday)

La Drôle De Fin


La Drôle De Fin
((English Version: Last Tango (by Raymond Vincent))
Composer(s): Raymond Vincent - Bruno Libert - Meakin - J.M. Rivat
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



On s'est connus
C'était si bien
Qui aurait vu
Notre destin
On n'a pas su
Aller très loin
Le beau début
La drôle de fin

De plus en plus
Tu prends le train
Je ne sais plus
Quand tu reviens
Le beau début
La drôle de fin

Où vont-ils donc?
Les hommes quand ils s'en vont
Ne saura-t-on jamais
Quand ils nous abandonnent
Ils sont bien quelque part
Sur le quai d'une gare
Dans un café anglais
Un hôtel espagnol

Où vont-ils donc?
Les hommes quand ils s'en vont
Ne saura-t-on jamais
Quand ils nous abandonnent
Ils sont bien quelque part
Sur le quai d'une gare
Dans un café anglais
Un hôtel espagnol

Ne pleure plus
Laisse mes mains
On est fichus
On le sait bien
Le beau début
La drôle de fin

Où vont-ils donc?
Les hommes quand ils s'en vont
Ne saura-t-on jamais
Quand ils nous abandonnent
Ils sont bien quelque part
Sur le quai d'une gare
Dans un café anglais
Un hôtel espagnol

Où vont-ils donc?
Les hommes quand ils s'en vont
Ne saura-t-on jamais
Quand ils nous abandonnent
Ils sont bien quelque part
Sur le quai d'une gare
Dans un café anglais
Un hôtel espagnol

Où vont-ils donc?
Les hommes quand ils s'en vont
Ne saura-t-on jamais
Quand ils nous abandonnent
Ils sont bien quelque part
Sur le quai d'une gare
Dans un café anglais
Un hôtel espagnol
