Quando Quando Quando (Tell Me When)


Quando Quando Quando (Tell Me When)
Composer(s): Tony Renis; Alberto Testa
Performer(s): Pat Boone;
and various other artists



Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don't make me wait again
When will you say 'yes' to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love, please tell me when

Ev'ry moment's a day
Ev'ry day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then, darlin', tell me when

(instrumental strings and brass)

Ev'ry moment's a day
Ev'ry day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then, darlin', tell me when

Oh, my darlin', tell me when
Mmm, my darlin', tell me when

Sentimental Baby (Frank Sinatra)


Sentimental Baby
Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Lew Spence
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Tommy Dorsey



Sentimental baby, sweet and gentle baby
Just the way a baby oughta be
Heaven in the morning, heaven in the evening
How did such an angel get to me?

Cuddle and caress me, snuggle up and "Yes" me
I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, over again
Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Sentimental baby of mine

I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, all over again
Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Sentimental baby of mine

Quand Tu Dors Près De Moi;
Melodie Poesie; No Es El Adios
Composer(s): G. Auric; Johannes Brahms; Chiosso
Performer(s): Dalida



Quando tu dormirai
Quando tu sognerai
Parlerai di colei che mai più
Dimenticherai
Tutto in me morirà
E il moi cuor caprià
Che non sei qui con me
Per amor Ma soltante per pietà
Inutilmente domani l'aurora verrà
La mia bocca delusa mai più ti bacerà

La, la, la...

Al mio ciel chiedero
Cio che mai non avro
Sempre a lei penserai
E cosi sola restero

Quando tu dormirai
Solo lei sognerai
Nulla più resterà
Ed in me la speranza morirà

La, la, la...

Sentimental baby, I see a tear

Quando Vien La Sera


Quando Vien La Sera
French Version: Vieni Vieni Si
Composer(s): Carlo Rossi; Alberto Testa
Performer(s): Joe Sentieri



Quando vien la sera
Vieni, vieni
Son qua, son qua, son qua
Solo per te
Vieni, vieni qui, vieni, vieni qui
Stiamo vicinissimi
Quando cala il sol
E la luna appar
Tu non puoi mancar
Mentre bacio te
Mentre baci me
Lascia che ci guardano
Per gli innamorati
Questa è l'ora di sognar
Vieni, vieni qui, vieni, vieni qui
Stiamo vicinissimi
Sottobraccio a me
Sottobraccio a te
Sembra di volar
Quando vien la sera
Vieni, vieni, vieni
Son qua, son qua, son qua
Solo per te
Vieni, vieni qui, vieni, vieni qui
Stiamo vicinissimi
Sottobraccio a me
Sottobraccio a te
Sembra di volar
Quando vien la sera
Vieni, vieni
Son qua, son qua, son qua
Solo per te
E ti bacerò

Sentimental


Sentimental
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Sentimental, sentimental
Um coração saliente
Bate e bate muito mais que sente
Fica doente
Mas é natural, natural
Que num cochilo de agosto
Surja um outro alguém do sexo oposto
Do sexo oposto, outro alguém

Ontem vi tudo acabado
Meu céu desastrado
Medo, solidão, ciúme
Hoje eu contei as estrelas
E a vida parece um filme

Gemini, Gemini, geminiano
Este ano vai ser o seu ano
Ou senão, o destino não quis
Ah, eu hei de ser
Terei de ser
Serei feliz
Serei feliz, feliz

Façam muitas manhãs
Que se o mundo acabar
Eu ainda não fui feliz
Atrapalhem os pés
Dos exércitos, dos pelotões
Eu não fui feliz
Desmantelem no cais
Os navios de guerra
Eu ainda não fui feliz
Paralisem no céu
Todos os aviões
É urgente, eu não fui feliz
Tenho dezesseis anos
Sou morena clara
Atraente
E sentimental
Sentimental, sentimental

Quanto È Bella Lei


Quanto È Bella Lei
Composer(s): D. Pace; Marissa Panzeri; Pilat
Performer(s): Gianni Nazzaro



Ti prego non mi dire
che lei non è per me
non darmi un dispiacere
adesso che io l'amo

Tu non la conosci
ma quando la vedrai
sarà un'altra cosa
e allora capirai

Quanto è bella lei
tu mamma non lo sai
Quando guardo lei
io vedo gli occhi tuoi
Mi perdonerai
se un giorno me ne andrò

Prati senza fine, fiori bianchi questo è lei
ha negli occhi il mare e non lo sa
Chi mi fa morire e mi perdona è sempre lei
Tu la vedrai
e capirai

Quanto è bella lei
tu mamma non lo sai...

Sentencia


Sentencia
Composer(s): Pablo Valdés
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Te acordarás de mí toda la vida
te acordarás de mí mientras yo viva
Te acordarás de mí porque en la vida
la sentencia de amor, la sentencia de amor
nunca se olvida

No pensaste ni un momento vida mía
que la vida sin ti no la quería
Te entregué la ilusión en mi agonía
y te llevaste también, y te llevaste también
toda mi vida

No pensaste ni un momento vida mía
que la vida sin ti no la quería
Te entregué la ilusión en mi agonía
y te llevaste también, y te llevaste también
toda mi vida

Quantum


Quantum
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



2 + 2 no es cuatro, ¡aún hay esperanza!
Todo es pura probabilidad
Ya no hay ciencia que pueda llamarse exacta
Ni ley ni dogma que pueda encajar

La tela del mundo es sólo vacío
Y energía en danza en su interior
Teje sus latidos impredecibles
De espaldas a nuestra percepción

Nada es falso ni cierto
Nada es blanco ni negro
No es exacto, es incierto
Nada es real

Entre el sí y el no ¿qué diferencia existe?
Yang se torna yin, yin va hacia yang
Entre el bien y el mal ¿qué diferencia existe?
Contraria sunt complementa*

Las cosas son tal como las vemos
Sólo porque estamos viéndolas
Y porque así es como queremos verlas
La danza se congela al observar

Nada es falso ni cierto
Nada es blanco ni negro
No es exacto, es incierto
Nada es real

Meio Io Cheng Shi
To Ti Einaime On
Nada Es Real



*(los opuestos son complemetarios)

As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door where me old horse should be
I called me wife and I said to her: 'Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door where me old horse should be'
'Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool and still you cannot see

'Well, it's many a day I've traveled, a hundred miles or more
A saddle on a sow, sure, I never saw before'

'Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool and still you cannot see

But laces in flower pots sure I never saw before'

'Well it's many a night I've traveled, a hundred miles or more
But an Englishnan that could last 'till three, sure, I never saw before'

Sentado Al Borde De Una Silla Desfondada


Sentado Al Borde De Una Silla Desfondada
Composer(s): Gelman; de la Riestra
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Sentado al borde de una silla desfondada
mareado loco, casi vivo
escribo versos previamente llorados
por la ciudad donde nací

Hay que atraparlos
también aqui nacieron dulces hijos mios
que entre tanto hastio te endulzan bellamente
hay que aprender a resistir

Ni a irse ni a quedarse
solo a resistir
aunque seguro que habrá
más penas y olvidos

Quarante Ans


Quarante Ans
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Pour le bonheur de ceux que j'aime
Et qui sont là dans la maison
J'ai trouvé les mots d'un poème
Et composé cette chanson

Puisque ce soir ils sont ensemble
Pour me fêter à leur façon
C'est que l'amour qui nous rassemble
Est bien plus fort que la raison

Merci d'être resté fidèles
À cette image d'autrefois
Qui m'a fait déployer mes ailes
Ce soir pour la seconde fois

Merci d'exister sur la Terre
Sans vous, que serait ce caillou
Lancé pour des années-lumière
Sans âme et sans personne au bout?

Ce soir, le soleil est en cage,
Ici, le bonheur est partout
C'est vous qui rendez le voyage
Plus beau plus tranquille et plus fou

Je peux vous offrir en échange
Le sourire que je vous dois
Quelques vers aux musiques étranges
Où chacun se reconnaîtra

Et le souffle de la tendresse
Qui me fait frémir un instant
À l'idée de ce jour de liesse
Où l'on fête mes quarante ans

J'ai beau partager cette ivresse
Avec des milliers d'inconnus
Pourquoi vous cacher ma faiblesse
Sans vous, mon cœur ne battrait plus

Je voudrais vieillir de la sorte
En amour et en amitié
Sans jamais refermer la porte
De mon cœur où vous êtes entrés

En ouvrant tout grand les fenêtres
Et mon âme à la volupté
De sentir chaque jour renaître
En sachant que vous existez
En sachant que vous existez

Whole Lot Of Love


Whole Lot Of Love
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall



We live on a farm in Tennessee like old McDonald's was
We have all the things that a farm should have and a whole lot of love

We have a brace of ducks and a clutch of chicks
Cry of hounds and a candle of kits
Enough of frogs and as it gets dark an exaltation of larks
We live on a farm in Tennessee like old McDonald's was
We have all the things that a farm should have and a whole lot of love

We have a drove of cattle and a grist of bees
A colony of ants and a gaggle of geese
A school of fish and a murder of crows and a great big tribe of goats
We live on a farm in Tennessee like old McDonald's was
We have all the things that a farm should have and a whole lot of love

We have a skulk of foxes and a sleuth of bears
A set of cranes and a hust of hares
A herd of horses and a spring of teal and a watch of nightingales
We live on a farm in Tennessee like old McDonald's was
We have all the things that a farm should have and a whole lot of love

We have a sun of mornings and a moon of nights
An I-feel-bad of hold me tights
It rains, but not too much, we got a whole lot of love

Don't you know that I danced
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help, last night, of Daddy G.
He was swingin on the sax like a nobody could
And I was dancin' all over the room
Oh, don't you know the people were dancin' like they were mad
it was the swingin'est band they had, ever had
It was the swingin'est song that could ever be
It was a night with Daddy G.
Let me tell you now
I never had it so good
Yeah and I know you never could
Until you get hip with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
Oh don't you know that I danced
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night of Daddy G.
Everybody was as happy as they could be
And they were swingin with Daddy G.
Blow Daddy!
Let me tell you now
I never had it so good
Yeah and I know you never could
Until you get hip with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
Oh don't you know that I danced
I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night of Daddy G.
He was swingin on the sax like a nobody could
and I was dancin all over the room
Oh don't you know the
Dance, do bee wa dah
Dance, do bee wah dah
You can dance, do bee wah dah
You can dance, dance, dance

Sentado A La Vera Del Camino


Sentado A La Vera Del Camino
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos
Performer(s): Raphael



No me puedo más quedar así
Aquí, a esperarte
Que un día de repente
Tú regreses otra vez a mí
Pero una vez más que puede ya cambiar
Esta vida mía
A la vera estoy sentado de un camino
Que no tiene fin
Mi mirada vaga entre la gente
De aquel camino tan triste
La nostalgia del ayer que ya no existe
Me está causando llanto
Acaricia el sol mi cara
Y tengo un sueño de esperanza
El de verte aparecer allá
En la lejanía
Amor ven pronto, ya no resisto
Si no regresas yo no existo
Ha cambiado el tiempo, está lloviendo
Y a mí no me importa nada
Pues mis lágrimas mezcladas con la lluvia gritan
Que te quiero tanto
Busco dentro de mi gris destino
La fe que no se alcanza
Sólo soy un resto de esperanza
Al borde de este camino
Mi amor lo perdí, ya no resisto
Si no regresas yo no existo
Gentes, tierras, coches, todo, todo
Se confunden aquí en mi mente
Y mi sombra se ha cansado de seguir
Y se muere lentamente
Sólo tú no ves que ya no puedo más sufrir
Este destino mío
Y esperando siempre, siempre ver tu amor
A la vera de este camino
Preciso olvidar que yo existo
Más preciso saber que sí existo
Que yo existo

Cett' frangine

Et ce spleen
Qui traînait
Dans sa traîne

J'avais rien
Ni regrets

Comm' la grippe

Ce vieux prof

A l'usine

Sentado À Beira Do Caminho


Sentado À Beira Do Caminho
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos
Performer(s): Leila Pinheiro
and multiple other artists



Eu não posso mais ficar aqui a esperar
Que um dia, de repente, você volte para mim
Vejo caminhões e carros apressados
A passar por mim
Estou sentado à beira de um caminho
Que não tem mais fim

Meu olhar se perde na poeira
Dessa estrada triste
Onde a tristeza e a saudade de você
Ainda existe
Esse sol que queima no meu rosto
Um resto de esperança
De ao menos ver de perto seu olhar
Que eu trago na lembrança

Preciso acabar logo com isso
Preciso lembrar que eu existo
Que eu existo, que eu existo

Vem a chuva, molha o meu rosto
E então eu choro tanto
Minhas lágrimas e os pingos dessa chuva
Se confundem no meu pranto
Olho pra mim mesmo
Me procuro e não encontro nada
Sou um pobre resto de esperança
À beira de uma estrada

Preciso acabar logo com isso (...)

Carros, caminhões, poeira, estrada
Tudo, tudo se confunde em minha mente
Minha sombra me acompanha
E vê que eu estou morrendo lentamente
Só você não vê que eu não posso mais
Ficar aqui sozinho
Esperando a vida inteira por você
Sentado à beira do caminho

Preciso acabar logo com isso (...)

Qu'As-Tu Fait, John?


Qu'As-Tu Fait, John?
Composer(s): Michel Emer
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Dans le cœur de la Louisiane
John, sous un soleil de plomb
Travaille près de La Savane
Dans un grand champ de coton
Il transpire à grosses gouttes
Il a chaud, il n'en peut plus
Lorsque soudain, sur la route
Une foule est accourue
Vers le pauvre John qui tremble
Margaret lève le doigt
A la foule qui se rassemble
Elle a dit: "Il s'est jeté sur moi!"

Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
Il s'est jeté sur une femme blanche
Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
Il avait trop bu dimanche
Ivre comme un porte-paix
Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?

On emmène John au village
A la maison du sheriff
Tous les blancs, hurlant de rage
Réclament un jugement hâtif
"C'est un salaud: qu'on le pende!
Pour leur donner une leçon!"
John gigote sous la branche
Un frisson, puis c'est fini
Les hommes blancs, les femmes blanches
Vont se coucher dans la nuit

Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
Faut pas toucher aux femmes blanches
Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
T'as l'air fin au bout de la branche!
T'es pendu et c'est bien fait
Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?

Sur la maison qui sommeille
Margaret frappe à grands coups
Le sheriff qui se réveille
Lui demande: "Que voulez-vous?
C'est moi qui voulais le nègre"
Dit-elle. "Je viens m'accuser
C'est moi qui aimais le nègre
Puis John m'a refusée"
Le sheriff est en colère
"Oh! Que d'histoires pour un noir!
Allons, faut pas vous en faire!
Bonsoir, Margaret! Bonsoir!"

Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
Refuser une femme blanche!
Qu'as-tu fait John? Qu'as-tu fait?
Te v'là pendu à une branche
Une voix répond dans le vent
"Il est plus heureux qu'avant...
John est au paradis...
Où les pauvres nègres y prient
John est maintenant joueur"
Il est à la boîte du Bon Dieu

Don't the moon look lonesome shining through the tree

If you can't do better, might as well just stay away

Quatorze Juillet


Quatorze Juillet
Du film "Les Amants De Teruel"
Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Mikis Théodorakis
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Il me vient par la fenêtre
Des musiques de la rue
Chaque estrade a son orchestre
Chaque bal a sa cohue
Ces gens-là m'ont pris ma fête
Je ne la reconnais plus

Dans ma chambre, je me chante
L'air que nous avons valsé
Je regarde la toquarde
Où tes doigts se sont posés

Tu m'as dit: "Tu es si belle"
Et tu as, l'instant d'après
Ajouté: "La vie est bête"
J'ai compris que tu partais
Si tu ne reviens jamais
Il n'y aura plus de quatorze juillet

Il me vient par la fenêtre
Un murmure qui s'éteint
Les chansons d'une jeunesse
Attardée dans le matin
N'allez pas troubler mon rêve
Allez rire un peu plus loin

Que m'apporte, que m'apporte
Cette joie de quelques heures?
Je suis morte, je suis morte
Et je t'ai déjà rejoint
Et mon corps est près du tien
Mais personne n'en sait rien...
