Beautiful Thing (The Hawks)


Beautiful Thing Composer(s): Richard Manuel - Rick Danko First recording by: The Hawks - 1967



I've told you once, now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down
There ain't no time to repeat again
Just need to bring it around

We had a beautiful thing going
You couldn't see things my way
We had a beautiful thing going
Something just got in our way

And I told you once that it was rough
I looked on you as my friend
Because that did not seem to be good enough
And now it's time to begin

We've got a beautiful thing going
I hope that's the way it will stay
We've got a beautiful thing going
Nothing can stand in our way

Las Cartas De Laura


Las Cartas De Laura
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Zas



Son tan breves las cartas de Laura
desde París escribe, Laura
Se fue con la intención
de crecer sin mutilación
Nada que recordar
nadie para ver
y aunque se porte mal
no hay por qué temer

Conozco tus estados, Laura
ya no firmas las cartas, Laura
Si perdiste el control
y las cosas se ponen peor
tiempo para pedir
y tiempo para dar
tiempo para servir
y más para luchar

Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed

Ya que lo soñaste todo, Laura
alguna vez me lo vas a contar
si queda algo en tu interior
que por vergüenza o por pudor
No me queres decir
es mejor guardar
pensá que también aquí
hay tanto o más que ocultar

Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed

Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed

Beautiful Strange


Beautiful Strange
Performer(s): Prince



Strangely beautiful
Beautiful strange
That's what we said
Instead of the name
If you count the times
He took all the blame
You would find the reason
Behind the game

In the darkness
We must look for the way
Words so strange
That only the mind can say
If it makes no mind
What color or holy day
Why is this game
The only one that we play

Dive inside your soul if you wanna know
The light inside the darkness forever glows
The son is like the diamond inside the coal
And like an embryo it grows and grows

Las Alturas De Machu Picchu


Las Alturas De Machu Picchu
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Tu voz alguien la calló
tu honor, la espada, humilló
igual que a un cóndor preso
así, se te encarceló
Servir al conquistador
creer en su mismo dios
vivir sin tus raíces
así, se te condenó
Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad
sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
Aquí, adoraste al sol
aquí, se acató tu ley
aquí, no fuiste esclavo
aquí, siempre fuiste rey
Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez
sube a aprender, sube a aprender, aquí, otra vez
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
... Y el indio llora y al rezar
mira al sol, mira al sol
y se pregunta sin cesar
si su dios le olvidó
Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad
sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer

Beautiful Queensland


Beautiful Queensland
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



You have all read the wonderful stories
Of the countries far over the sea
From whence came our ancestors
To establish this land of the free
There are some folk who still like to travel
To see what they have over there
But when they go look, it's not like the book
And they find there is none to compare

With beautiful, beautiful Queensland
Out where the wild flowers grow (flowers grow)
We're proud of our beautiful climate
Where we never see ice or snow
You can live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea breezes blow
And you're still in beautiful Queensland
The most wonderful state that I know

An old timer called the ?...............?
And the fiddle was playing three quarter
I held your hand with a new wedding band
While Nelly sang Alan Water
And even now when we're older dear
I still hold a sweet memory
Of our wedding ball and the bridal waltz
They played for you and me

Las Acacias


Las Acacias
Composer(s): Jorge Molina
Performer(s): Silva Y Villalba
and multiple other artists



Ya no vive nadie en ella
A la orilla del camino silenciosa está la casa
Se diría que sus puertas se cerraron para siempre
Se cerraron para siempre sus ventanas
Gime el viento en los aleros
Desmoronándose las tapias
Y en sus piedras cabecean
Combatidas por el viento
¡Ay! que viento, las acacias
Combatidas por el viento las acacias
Dolorido ¡ay! dolorido
Fatigado de este viaje
Tan largo viaje que es la vida
He pasado por las puertas de mi estancia
Y una historia a mí me contaron las acacias
Todo ha muerto, la alegría y el bullicio
Los que fueron la alegría y el calor de aquella casa
Unos muertos, muertos y otros vivos, vivos
Que tenían muy muerta el alma
Se marcharon para siempre de esta casa

Beautiful People


Beautiful People Composer(s): Kenny O'Dell First release by: Kenny O'Dell - 1967



You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you

You're so easy to make conversation with
And nobody else can please me that way
No one can say that you're a wallflower
Cause you've always got something groovy to say

You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you

Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition
You oughta have a room full of ribbons
And wear 'em in your hair
every day of the week for me

People turn around they know we're the happiest
People today in this whole town
And it's no wonder that they kinda wonder
If we're not the grooviest couple around

You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you

You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
I love you

I do - I do - I do
Mmmm - I love ya

You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you

L'artiste


L'artiste
Composer(s): J.P. Calvet - C. Level
Performer(s): Annie Cordy



Les jours de la s'maine
Et tous les week ends
Sur toutes les scènes
J'existe
Je fais des claquettes
Je fais des pirouettes
Et des galipettes
En piste
Un jour j'ai choisi
Le rire à tout prix
Et j'ai toujours pris
Mes risques
Je fais de mon mieux
Mes sauts périlleux
Je suis dans vos yeux
L'artiste

Même si j'ai tremblé
Avant mon entrée
Les fameux soirs de première
Devant le rideau
J'ai un numéro
Toujours rigolo
Pour plaire
Je dois ressembler
À la blonde dorée
Qui sourit sur mes affiches
Le rire aux éclats
C'est dans mon contrat
Tant pis si l'artiste
Est triste

Ma vie, mes amours
Passeront toujours
En supplément au programme
J'n'en demande pas plus
Je suis un gugusse
Bien avant d'être une femme
Mais ne croyez pas
Que j'ai malgré ça
Une vie meilleure ou pire
J'aime ce que je fais
Et je ne donnerais
Pas ma place pour
Un empire même si parfois
ma maison, mon chien
les fleurs du jardin
me manquent
c'est que j'ai choisi
de risquer ma vie
sur le fil des saltimbanques.

Mais vous êtes là
Ce soir c'est gala
Qui a dit que j'étais triste
Mesdames et messieurs
C'était pas sérieux
Un p'tit bravo pour l'artiste!

Beautiful Pea Green Boat


Beautiful Pea Green Boat Composer(s): Laurie Anderson - Edwin Lear Performer(s): Laurie Anderson



I'm lying in the shade of my family tree
I'm a branch that broke off
What will become of me?

Dear Mom, I'm lying here in this queen-sized bed
I'm thinking back
To all the stories you read to me
About the little animals who went to sea
In their beautiful pea green boat
But I can't remember now
What happened then?
Dear Mom, how does it end?

The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat
They took some honey and lots of money
Wrapped in a five pound note
The owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
O lovely pussy! Pussy my love!
What a wonderful pussy you are

Let us be married
Too long we've tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?
What shall we do for a ring?
Hey! Hey!

They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the bong tree grows
And there in a wood a piggy wig stood
A ring at the end of his nose
A ring at the end of his nose

And hand in hand at the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the
By the light of the, by the light of the moon

And hand in hand at the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the
By the light of the, by the light of the moon
The moon, the moon
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists



Laroo laroo lilli bolero
That's a magic sayin'
That I heard one day in Napoli
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar said to me
"You say laroo lilli bolero
And just like that quick as an arrow
You'll find the boy who's meant for you"
and sure enough it all came true
Laroo laroo lilli bolero

Beautiful Noise


Beautiful Noise Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond and multiple other artists



What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat
It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It's got a rhytm to spare

It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And it fits me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the park
It's the song of this kids
And it plays until dark

It's the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To the beat of the lights

It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And ist makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise

It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
By the passing parade
It's the music of life

What a beautiful noise
Comin' into my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune

L'arlecchino Gitano


L'arlecchino Gitano
((French & German Versions: L'arlequin De Tolède (by Dalida); Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Ardiente - Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac
Performer(s): Dalida



Quando un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
Nasce cercando la luna
Che risplende serena
Un arlecchino gitano
Arriva da lontano
E canta la serenata
Ai segni di Granata

E' primavera là nell'Estramadura
Sboccia la gioventù che pero non dura
Triste l'autunno già viene con la sera
Meglio percio baciar ogni bocca che puoi trovar

Quell'Arlecchino gitano
Che arrivo da lontano
Desta un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
E sotto un raggio di luna
Rivede Colombina
Che ascolta la sereneta
Nel cielo di Granata

E'primavera là nell'Estramadura
Lei lo lascio perchè mai l'amore dura
E quando lo bacio non fu mai sincera
Meglio dimenticar alla bianca luna cantar

Quando un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
Nasce cercando la luna
Che risplende serena
Un arlecchino gitano
Arriva da lontano
E canta la serenata
Ai sogni di Granata

E' primavera ancor nell'Estramadura
Egli ha vent'anni in cuor e non si dipera
Certo una bocca ancor troverà sincera
Che gli farà scordar chi lo volle un giorno lasciar

Beautiful Morning Glory


Beautiful Morning Glory
Composer(s): T. Texas Tyler
Performer(s): T. Texas Tyler



Beautiful morning glory kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory good morning glory to you

I've traveled all over the country I seldom sleep in a bed
When my feet get tired of walking I simply stand on my (head)
Beautiful morning glory...

I stopped at a house for a handout I didn't go there to beg
And I'd jumped the great big ol' bulldog and took her bite out off my (leg)
Beautiful morning glory...

I once had a bald headed girl friend I knocked her wig off at a dance
And when I stooped over to get it she kicked me right in my (ass)
Beautiful morning glory...
Good morning glory to you

L'arlequin De Tolède


L'arlequin De Tolède
((German & Italian Versions: Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida); L'arlecchino Gitano (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac
Performer(s): Dalida



Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres
Le blanc d'un rayon de lune jouant sur sa peau brune
Un Arlequin de Tolède passe dans la nuit tiède
Il chante la sérénade des amants de Grenade

Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un instant car la vie est dure
Pour les jeunes amants qui veulent croire aux serments

Et l'Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède
En caressant sa guitare trouve un accord bizarre
Un écho de mandoline il revoit Colombine
Vibrante à la sérénade d'un Pierrot de Grenade

Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier c'était lui l'amant mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un serment d'un je te le jure
Avec cette leçon il a fait une chanson

Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres
Un Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède
Entend sous la lune blonde tous les amants du monde
Qui chantent la sérénade des amants de Grenade

Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un instant pour une âme dure
Aujourd'hui c'est l'été et vive la liberté

Beautiful Maria Of My Soul


Beautiful Maria Of My Soul ((Spanish Version: Bella Maria de Mi Alma (by Antonio Banderas)) Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher Performer(s): Los Lobos - 1987 and multiple other artists



In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away

Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away

On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face

Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow
Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul

Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change

And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul

Filling all my nights
Haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul

Beautiful Love


Beautiful Love Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Wayne King - Egbert Van Alstyne - Victor Young First release by: Helen Merrill - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists



Beautiful love
You are a mystery
Beautiful love
What have you done to me
I was content till you came along
Thrilling me with your song

Beautiful love
I've ruined your paradise
Searching for my dream to realize
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true

Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true

L'arche De Noë


L'arche De Noë
Performer(s): Sheila



C'est incroyable
Chaque fois que nous partons en vacances
On prend toujours trop d'affaires
Mais cette fois-ci pas question
Même si mes enfants me disent

Les animaux n'ont pas de chemise
Pas de robe, pas de valises
Ils nous ont vus faire nos bagages
Ils voudront être du voyage
Qu'est-ce qu'on fait?

On va décider

La chouette et ses lunettes
Quel regard elle a!
- On la prend, dis, maman?
Le lièvre aux grandes oreilles
Gambade déjà
- On le prend, dis, maman?
Le canari qui s'est blessé
On n'peut pas le laisser
Prends-le si tu veux
- On le prends dis maman?
Il guérira mieux
Et ton petit chien Framboise
Frétille déjà
- On le prend, dis maman?
L'agneau plein de bouclettes
Qui dort près de toi
- Prends-le, prends-le maman!

Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin ça ira
- La plus belle c'est maman
On se serrera

On trouve toujours de la place
Pour ceux qu'on aime
Et si en chemin tombe la pluie
Ce sera comme au Déluge aussi

Le chat et la souris blanche
Qui ne se quittent pas
- On les prend, dis, maman?
Et le canard sauvage, qui le nourrira?
- On le prend, dis maman?

Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
On se serrera

La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman
La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman

Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
Va chercher ton papa

La la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman.

L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure


L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Cet arc-en-ciel qui nous étonne
Quand il se lève après la pluie
S'il insiste, il fait monotone
Et l'on se détourne de lui
L'adage a raison: la meilleure
Chose en traînant se dévalue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu

Celui que l'aura populaire
Avait mis au gouvernail quand
Il fallait sauver la galère
En détresse dans l'ouragan
Passé péril en la demeure
Ne fut même pas réélu
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu

Cette adorable créature
Me répétait: "je t'aime tant
Qu'à ta mort, sur ta sépulture
Je me brûle vive à l'instant!"
À mon décès, l'ordonnateur(e)
Des pompes funèbres lui plut
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu

Ce cabotin naguère illustre
Et que la foule applaudissait
À tout rompre durant trois lustres
Nul à présent ne sait qui c'est
Aucune lueur ne demeure
De son étoile révolue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus.
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
