El Bandolero Stanco


El Bandolero Stanco
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni



Sarà forse il vento che non l'accarezza più
sarà il suo cappello che da un po' non gli sta su
sarà quella ruga di ridente nostalgia
o la confusione tra la vita e la poesia
non assalta treni perché non ne passan mai
non rapina banche, perché i soldi sono i suoi
vive di tramonti e di calcolati oblii
e di commoventi, ripetuti lunghi addii
struggenti addii...

El bandolero stanco
col cuore infranto stanotte va
va, su un cavallo bianco
col suo tormento lontano va
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio, dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Ha una collezione insuperabile di taglie
molte, tutte vuote già da tempo, le bottiglie
dorme sul cavallo che non lo sopporta più
e si è fatto un mazzo per la pampa su e giù
Ogni notte passa
e getta un fiore a qualche porta
rosso come il sangue
del suo cuore di una volta
poi galoppa via fino all'inganno dell'aurora
dove qualche gaucho
giura di sentirlo ancora
cantare ancora...

Ah bandolero stanco
stanotte ho pianto
pensando a te
c'è un po' della mia vita
nella tua vita che se ne va
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Se chiudo gli occhi, dentro gli occhi
sei di nuovo quello vero
quando sorridevo, quando ti credevo
ascoltami, guardami, sta' fermo
è ancora vivo questo amore
tutto questo amore, tutto il nostro amore
e tu lontano non ci vai
a morire come una puttana
prima del mio cuore
al posto del mio cuore
non mi lasciare solo in questa
notte che non vedo il cielo
torna bandolero! torna bandolero!
torna bandolero!
Dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Lady With The Lamp


Lady With The Lamp
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald



I don't mind, please don't misunderstand
I know the score of war
A soldier's life is give and give
And then they ask for more
Walking on the picket line
Where my comrades fell
Holding up the thin-red-line
In the shot and shell

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

I don't mind the blistering heat
I think I can endure
It's freezing cold and I can't feel my feet
Well, that's the hell of war
I never thought about the big red wound
When I saw my comrades fall
Now I'm in this cold and lonely room
Wondering if I'll live at all

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

First they use us
And then they throw us away
Only Miss Nightingale
Knows the price that we pay
The lady with the lamp

Excuse me please, a cup of tea
I've such a terrible thirst
Would you please come and sit with me
I feel it's come to the worst
Write my mother that I love her so
I can't seem to hold the pen
Take this keep-sake and send it home
To those I'll never see again

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

She will hold his hand
Stay with him to the end
You know she understands
She's the soldier's friend

Werkeloos


Werkeloos
Composer(s): Pierre Kartner
Performer(s): Jacques Herb



Morgen zouden zij gaan trouwen
Samen naar het altaar gaan
Morgen zou het jawoord klinken
Klokken zouden voor hen slaan
Maar 't geluk kon niet lang duren
Op z'n werk kreeg hij ontslag
Zo heeft hij zijn bruid verloren
Omdat hij niet werken mag

Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn
Maar brengt veel leed en pijn
Voor hen die trouwen gaan
Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man
Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood
Niet werken kan

Zij nam toen voor hem een ander
Hij werd een gebroken mens
Omdat hij voor geld wil werken
Dat is nog z'n laatste wens
Hij is toen uit nood gaan stelen
Voor z'n bruid waar hij van houdt
Jaren moet hij daar voor boeten
Voor die ene kleine fout

Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn
Maar brengt veel leed en pijn
Voor hen die trouwen gaan
Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man
Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood
Niet werken kan

Lady Willpower


Lady Willpower
Composer(s): Jerry Fuller
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly
I know you want to see me but you're afraid
Of what I might have on my mind
One thing you can be sure of
I'll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine
Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly
Did no one ever tell you the facts of life?
Well there's so much you have to learn
And I would gladly teach you if I could only reach you
And get your lovin' in return
Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly
Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower.....

Bandidos Rurales


Bandidos Rurales Composer(s): León Gieco - H. Chumbita - Luis Gurevich Performer(s): León Gieco



Nacido en Santa Fe en 1894
cerca de Cañada, de inmigrantes italianos
Juan Bautista lo llamaron, de apellido Vairoletto
bailarin sagaz, desafiante y mujeriego

Winchester en el recado, dos armas cortas tambien
un cuchillo atras y un caballo alazan
raya al medio con pañuelo, tatuaje en la piel
quedo fuera de la ley, quedo fuera de la ley

Se enamoro de la mujer que pretendia un policia
lo golpeo, lo puso preso un tal Farache Elias
andate de Castex le dijo, aqui tenemos leyes
corria el año 1919
antes de irse, fue al boliche a verlo al fulano
con un 450 belga, revolver en mano
le agujereo el cuello y lo dejo tirado ahi
ahora si fuera de la ley, ahora si fuera de la ley

Bandidos rurales, dificil de atraparles
jinetes rebeldes por vientos salvajes
bandidos populares dificil de atraparles
igual que alambrar estrellas en tierra de nadie

Lady Whiskey


Lady Whiskey
Composer(s): Andy Powell - Martin Turner - Steve Upton - Ted Turner
Performer(s): Wishbone Ash



Lady whiskey, such a sad sight, stumblin' as she walks
She even hates herself sometimes
Keep her clear, for it's Saturday night

Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain
Waits for tomorrow, when she'll do the same again

Lady whiskey's got a man, her man is just like her
Tries to fit the key in the door
When he comes home Saturday night

Drowns his sorrow, eases his pain
Waits for tomorrow, when he'll do the same again

Lady whiskey's got a son, got a daughter, too
Son don't play, but the daughter's on the way
When she comes home Saturday night

Lady whiskey, she gets sick when she goes downtown
One day drink's gonna put her down
She won't come home Saturday night

Bandala


Bandala Composer(s): Wes Farrell - Eddie Singleton Performer(s): The Partridge Family



My baby! (Banda-lay-la, my love)
I need ya! (Banda-lay-la, my love)
Oh, oh, I want ya! (Banda-lay-la, my love)
Hold on! I'm comin' for ya
(Banda-lay-la) Hold on! Be there to getcha!

I rise with the sun and start my existence
with dreams of the day when we'll move away
Far from the hard times poor town's been givin'
and move on uptown to a better way of livin'

She's not a beauty and she don't wear fine clothes
Her heart and soul is all I'm livin' for
Hold on! (Banda-lay-la) Oh, oh, you know I need ya!
(Banda-lay-la, my love) I want ya!
(Banda-lay-la) Hold on, I'm comin' for ya!
(Banda-lay-la) Hold on! Be there to getcha!

I'll be the fella to save his Cinderella
by turnin' her dream world into real life
One day soon, I'm gonna carry Bandala away and make her my wife

We're gonna make it, baby! (Banda-lay-la, my love)
Be there to getcha! (Banda-lay-la) Hold on! I'm comin' for ya!
(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!
(Banda-lay-la) Oh! You know I need ya!
(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!
(Banda-lay-la) Hey! My baby!
(Banda-lay-la, my love) You know I want ya!
(Banda-lay-la, my love) We're gonna make it, baby!

Lady Sunshine Und Mister Moon


Lady Sunshine Und Mister Moon
Performer(s): Conny Froboess



Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon
können gar nichts dagegen tun
daß sie am Himmel sich niemals trafen
denn wenn er aufsteht, dann geht sie schlafen

Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon
können gar nichts dagegen tun
wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen
ein Pärchen werden sie nie

Da sind wir beide besser dran, viel besser dran
weil mich dein Mund so oft ich will am Tage küssen kann
Hier unten ist das Leben schön für dich und mich
dein Mund sagt mir so oft ich will: 'Mein Schatz, ich liebe dich!'

Doch Lady, Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon
können gar nichts dagegen tun
wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen
ein Pärchen werden sie nie

Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon
würden gern was dagegen tun
dass sie so einsam dort oben wandern
dass sie noch träumen, verliebt vom Andern

Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon
können gar nichts dagegen tun
wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen
ein Pärchen werden sie nie
Nie! Nie!

Band On The Run


Band On The Run Composer(s): Paul McCartney - Linda McCartney First release by: Paul McCartney & Wings - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



Stuck inside these four walls Sent inside for ever Never seeing no one, nice again Like you, mama You, mama... you... If I ever get out of here Thought of giving it all away To a registered charity All I need is a pint a day If I ever get out of here (If I ever get out of here) Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun Band on the run; band on the run And the jailer man, and sailor Sam Were searching everyone For the Band on the run... Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh Seeing no one else had come And the bell was ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run Band on the run... Well the night was failing As the desert world began to settle down In the town they're searching for us everywhere But the never will be found Band on the run; band on the run And the country judge, who held a grudge Will search for ever more

Lady Starlight


Lady Starlight
Composer(s): Andy Scott
Performer(s): Sweet



Looking for starlight
The lady made it alright
She was the lady
And I knew right from the start
Sweet lady starlight
Come on and make it tonight
You turn it on so easy
And the lady is my lady starlight

Sing the song that should be sung
And your love can be the voice
The tears in my eyes
I'm crying tears of joy
When you say I'm your boy

Time - slips right on away
But why should care
What people say
I will watch over lady starlight
Looking for starlight

Looking for starlight
The lady made it alright
She was the lady
And I knew right from the start
Sweet lady starlight
Come on and make it tonight
You turn it on so easy
And the lady is my lady starlight

Dance she dances the valley
And Rudi is the king
I laugh when she's happy
The powers in my hands
And I must be a man

Band Of Gold


Band Of Gold Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland First release by: Freda Payne - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists



Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

You took me from the shelter of my mother
I have never known or loved another
We kissed after taking vows
That nigh on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Lady Sings The Blues


Lady Sings The Blues
Composer(s): Billie Holiday - Herbie Nichols
First recording/First release by: Billie Holiday - 1956



Lady sings the blues
She got them bad
She feels so sad

Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about

The blues ain't nothing
But a pain in your heart
When you got a bad start
You and your man have to part

Lady sings the blues...

Bancarrota Blues


Bancarrota Blues Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Uma fazenda
Com casarão
Imensa varanda
Dá gerimum
Dá muito mamão
Pé de jacarandá
Eu posso vender
Quanto você dá

Algum mosquito
Chapéu de sol
Bastante água fresca
Tem isca pra anzol
Mas nem tem que pescar
Eu posso vender
Quanto quer pagar?

O que eu tenho
Eu devo a Deus
Meu chão, meu céu, meu mar
Os olhos do meu bem
E os filhos meus
Se alguém pensa que vai levar
Eu posso vender
Quanto vai pagar?

Os diamantes rolam no chão
O ouro é poeira
Muita mulher pra passar sabão
Papoula pra cheirar
Eu posso vender
Quanto vai pagar?

Negros quimbundos
Pra variar
Diversos açoites
Doces lundus
Pra nhonhô sonhar
À sombra dos oitis
Eu posso vender
Que é que você diz?

Sou feliz
E devo a Deus
Meu éden tropical
Orgulho dos meus pais
E dos filhos meus
Ninguém me tira nem por mal
Mas posso vender
Deixe algum sinal

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
Everybody's sniffing it Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is stuck on it Banapple gas

Does it do you good, make you better
Set you healthy when you're bed-tied?
Well I don't know if it makes you well...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it don't smell

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
Everybody's living on Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is grooving on Banapple gas

Do you know what goes inside to make it
What kind of strange spice makes it right?
Well I don't know what kind of spice
But it must be healthy 'cause it's sterilized

Banapple gas...Banapple gas
Give me more Banapple gas
O-o...o-o-o

Does it help you smile more to wake up
Make you happy just to be alive?
Well I don't know if it makes you happy...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it's certified

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
All the world is breathing Banapple gas
O-o alas!
No one knows what's inside it Banapple gas
Oh Banapple gas

The Lady's In Love With You


The Lady's In Love With You
Composer(s): Frank Loesser - Burton Lane
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



Hello there Texas what you say
I'd like to bend your ear if you're going my way
Okay Glenn what's worrying you
Tell me the story & I'll see what I can do
Well, I got a new gal that's a real killer diller
But I'm not so sure that she goes with Mr. Miller
Hm, that's nothing to worry about
Man don't you know how to go about finding out
No, you tell me, Texas

If there's a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
You'll know the lady's in love with you
If she can dress for a date
Without that waitin' you hate
It means the lady's in love with you
And when your friends ask you over to join their table
But she begs a far-away booth for two
Well, sir, here's just how it stands
You've got romance on your hands
Because the lady's in love with you

Sei Doch Mein Talisman


Sei Doch Mein Talisman
Performer(s): Ted Herold



Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah

Seh' ich drei Schornsteinfeger, sagst Du, das bringt mir Glück
Trotzdem geh' ich dann ungeküsst ganz allein nach Haus zurück

My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein

Du schenktest mir ein Kleeblatt, da war'n vier Blätter dran
Woran liegt es, dass für mich damit nicht das große Glück begann?

My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein

Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah

Wir schauten in den Himmel, da fiel ein Stern herab
Das war der Grund, dass auf Deinen Mund ich den ersten Kuss Dir gab

My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein

Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah

Spaniard At My Door


Spaniard At My Door
Performer(s): Shadows Of Night



On a hot winter's morn
My old Aunt was born
As a sister watched from the floor
I said you're too late you'll have to go straight
And you'll have to work years in the store
I cannot see straight-Because of my mate
And I think you look quite like a queen
I haven't much time
I live with the crime
And I look like a bad Mr. Clean

Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor

I'll be married today
A good price to Pay
For I'll alway's sleep in a bed
Kind and Refined
She worked in a mine
But nothing but a used metal sled
Up north it's cold and my coat I sold
To buy me a good bowl of rice
While frostbite set in
I sang Gunga Din
And went off to live with the mice

Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor

Only yule time will tell if you live in a bell
And the ringing hasn't begun
As you crawl to the edge
It's just like I said
And you're eyes still point at the sun
Over there on that farm
I lost my left arm
When I promised to work for my life
I stumbled a while
But soon found a style
And finally earned a good wife

Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor

Now I'm tired and old
Afraid of the cold
No years have I ever had plenty
Well it's over and blue
I'm finally through
I'm dead at the sweet age of twenty

Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor
