Letra De Piel
Letra De Piel
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Para que no se me olvide la letra
voy a anotarla en tu piel
Sé que jamás perderé esa libreta
Sé que la conservaré
Leo despacio: no eres común
Luego será más lento aún
Una palabra, otra después
hasta que aprenda lo que no sé
Para que no se me olvide la letra
voy a anotarla en tu piel
Sé que jamás perderé esa libreta
Sé que la conservaré
y que la consultaré

Bring Flowers Of The Rarest
Bring Flowers Of The Rarest (aka Queen Of The May)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Phil Coulter
Bring flow'rs of the fairest
Bring flow'rs of the rarest
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale
Our full hearts are swelling
Our Glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
Our voices ascending
In harmony blending
Oh! Thus may our hearts turn
Dear Mother, to thee
Oh! Thus shall we prove thee
How truly we love thee
How dark without Mary
Life's journey would be
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Virgin most tender
Our homage we render
Thy love and protection
Sweet Mother, to win
In danger defend us
In sorrow befriend us
And shield our hearts
From contagion and sin
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
Of Mothers the dearest
Oh, wilt thou be nearest
When life with temptation
Is darkly replete?
Forsake us, O never!
Our hearts be they ever
As Pure as the lilies
We lay at thy feet
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May

L'eterno Movimento
L'eterno Movimento
Performer(s): Anna Oxa
Camminavo sola tra i rumori della gente
nel cielo di mattina mi perdevo nella mente
ed i suoi movimenti
tra i miei ripensamenti
I dubbi, le incertezze, le inevitabili sconfitte
i sogni e le speranze che non trovano risposte
la vita è una ricerca
e non è mai la stessa
ed osservavo le espressioni e i gesti di un bambino
e una ragazza triste oggi lui non è vicino
la volontà di un vecchio che continua il suo cammino
e sento che, mi accorgo che, che
L'amore non si ferma mai perché lui muove il mondo
è un'onda inarrestabile, dentro di noi
la sola possibilità, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro noi
Ascolto la città, ne respiro l'energia
il traffico, i negozi e la sottile frenesia
del suo continuo andare
nel lento divenire
e all'improvviso lui l'amore sfiora l'anima
ed io mi sento viva ora sono libera
e sono qui tra la gente che ama come me
e sento che, mi accorgo che, che
L'amore non si ferma mai, perché lui muove il mondo
Un'onda inarrestabile, dentro di noi
la sola possibilità, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro di noi
L'amore non si ferma mai, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro di noi

Bring 'Em Down
Bring 'Em Down
Composer(s): Trevor Lucas
Performer(s): Fairport Convention
Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no light
I wandered in an endless dream, haunted by the night
I saw four ghostly riders, the horses in a line
Each in turn did point at me and say 'I'm on full rein'
We are the sculptors of the land, the rulers of the sea
We are the falcons of your sins, gardeners of the trees
The air about you is burning and the sea below does drown
And the legacy you leave your spawn will surely bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
A curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in hand
The power sought, or won or bought, the castles made of sand
You always have good reason to take more than you need
Your hearts are full of paper and your minds are full of greed
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
What is deeper than the ocean, colder than the grave
Stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave?
Those who know and knowing, O, will sow on fertile ground
Those who don't and never would are those you will go down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down

and multiple other artists
Tu sais, je n'ai jamais été aussi heureux que ce matin-là
Nous marchions sur une plage un peu comme celle-ci
C'était l'automne, un automne où il faisait beau
Une saison qui n'existe que dans le Nord de l'Amérique
Là-bas on l'appelle l'été indien
Mais c'était tout simplement le nôtre
Avec ta robe longue tu ressemblais
A une aquarelle de Marie Laurencin
Et je me souviens, je me souviens très bien
De ce que je t'ai dit ce matin-là
Il y a un an, y a un siècle, y a une éternité
On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s'aimera encore, lorsque l'amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin
Aux couleurs de l'été indien
Aujourd'hui je suis très loin de ce matin d'automne
Mais c'est comme si j'y étais. Je pense à toi.
Où es-tu? Que fais-tu? Est-ce que j'existe encore pour toi?
Je regarde cette vague qui n'atteindra jamais la dune
Tu vois, comme elle je reviens en arrière
Comme elle je me couche sur le sable
Et je me souviens, je me souviens des marées hautes
Du soleil et du bonheur qui passaient sur la mer
Il y a une éternité, un siècle, il y a un an
On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s'aimera encore lorsque l'amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin
Aux couleurs de l'été indien

Bring Back Those Wonderful Days
Bring Back Those Wonderful Days
Composer(s): Darl Mac Boyle; Nat Vincent
Performer(s): Bert Williams
You've heard of the lamp of Aladdin
what wonderful things it could do if I had it today
I'd rub it and say here's all that I want of you
Oh won't you
That wonderful lamp of the fable brought jewels and treasures galore
if Aladdin lived now
I feel that somehow these are the things he'd ask for
Oh won't you
Bring back those happy days of childhood
won't you bring back the lane down in the wildwood
that would lead us to the dear old swimming pool
everytime that we played hooky on the way to school
oh, bring back the simple girls in gingham
won't you bring back the good old songs and sing 'em
what a joy 't would be both for you and me
could we bring back those wonderful days
Bring back the dinners for a quarter
won't you bring back the milk without the water
and the great big thick and tender juicy steaks
long before our limit was a tack of victr'y cakes
oh, bring back the eggs at ten a dozen
won't you bring back the bread that wheat once was in
you can laugh and joke but we're all dead broke
won't you bring back those wonderful days
Bring back the pantomimes of Hanlon
won't you bring back the lullabies of Scanlon
and the friends who always take you out and treat
and the janitors who used to give us lots of heat
oh, bring back the days before the "Gimmies"
won't you bring back the dance without the "Shimmies"
drinking ginger ale makes us weak and pale
won't you bring back those wonderful days

Africa (Albatros)
Africa
Composer(s): Toto Cutugno - Pasquale Losito - Vito Pallavicini
First release by: Albatros - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1975 - L'été Indien (by Joe Dassin)
1978 - Efterårsløv (by Peter Belli)
You know
I never realized
That a world so incredibly far away
As Africa
Could be so close to me
Look where we are right now
On this beautiful little piece of grass
Suffocated by a sea of cement
Oppressed by all the traffic
Look at the people
Running, shouting
Like they have all gone mad
You know
I think
I just might go back to Africa
You can joke
But you can never compare
This noisy artificial world
With the natural
Sounds of Africa.
A time strange, mysterious
Weird almost unreal
Looking to the sky
And raising your arms
You can almost caress it
And you feel inside
To the will to live
Your skin burned
And you feel a man
More man
More sincere
You know
I think I might
just go back to Africa

Bring Back The Sunshine Again
Bring Back The Sunshine Again
Composer(s): Joseph Kendrick Coons
I never knew why a rosebud fades
When the world from the sunlight grows dim
I never knew that the dew was tears
Caused by the memries of what might have been
Your smile was the sunshine that gave me life
and your kiss was my heaven so blue
My tears are falling and my soul is calling
for life to me dear means just you
I tell the stars above ev'ry night above
Just to guide you and keep you from tears
Night breezes in sympathy sigh too
When ever your lovely vision appears
I've tried hard to teach my heart to forget
but my efforts have been all in vain
Still I keep saying and I'm always praying
that some day we may meet again
Bring back the beautiful sunshine,
the sunshine will bring back the flow'rs
Song birds will come at your calling
and Paradise will be ours
Love like a beggar comes pleading
and pleading should not be in vain
So won't you come back like the birds in the springtime
and bring back the sunshine again

Let Yourself Go
Let Yourself Go
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
and multiple other artists
As you listen to the band, don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play, don't you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor, you'll forget your trouble
If you start into your dance, you'll forget your woe, so...
Come! Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go
Come! Hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Can't you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Relax and let yourself go, relax
You've got yourself tied up in a knot
The night is cold, but the music's hot, so...
Come! Cuddle closer
Don't you dare to answer, "No sir"
Butcher, baker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go

What am I supposed to do now?
You're going
I, I know you're going
You, you, you, you're leaving me baby

What did I do?
What did I say?
Why are you doing this?
Baby, I love you
and my life is nothing without you
before, we were so happy together
So much together
so...
Mmm
I'm not lyin'
I'm, I, I'm totally messed up
Baby, I'm so damned mixed up
I, I just can't figure out what went wrong
Won't you, give us a chance?
Won't you, think it over?
Baby, please
won't you change your mind?
Yesterday, I felt so good inside
The joy you gave
The love me made
Fulfilled my life
Today, I'm alone
Without you dear
There's no life here
I can't go on
You're all that I
I'm thinking of
I just can't forget
The way it was
Happy times were yours and mine
Now misery is all I see
Don't let it be
Oh, darling please
Bring back my yesterday
Bring back the love you took away
Bring back my yesterday
Bring back the love you took away
I'd give the world
And all I own
For one moment
That we have known
It's strange
How you changed
Yet, I've remained
In love with you
I still feel the same
Bring back my yesterday
Bring back the love you took away
Yeah
Bring back my yesterday
Bring back the love you took away

You keep telling me yes
But you don´t mean it
You keep telling me no

You´re giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can´t you tell it like it is
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I´m on my guard and I´m watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no
You wear a plastic smile
I know by you eyes
You speak with indefinite style
You´re telling me lies
You´ve got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me
Why can´t you free your honesty
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I´m on my guard and I´m watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

Let Your Love Flow
Let Your Love Flow
((Dutch Version: Laat Je Hart Slaan (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007))
Composer(s): Larry Williams
First release by: Gene Cotton - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a reason for the sunshine day
There's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us
So let that feeling grab you deep inside
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go stealing throught the summer nights
With your lover
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean, it's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
There's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love rites shine
All around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason

Brindis Por Pierrot
Brindis Por Pierrot
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
No lo vieron a Molina
Que no pisa más el bar
Dónde está la Gran Muñeca
Que no trilla el bulevar
Esta noche es de recuerdos
Este brindis por Pierrot
Volverás Mario Benítez
Con tu Línea Maginot
Qué será de los porteños
Ocupando el Liberaij
Qué dirá La Nueva Ola
Empapada de champán
Esta noche es de recuerdos
Este brindis por La Unión
Ahí está Martíncorena
Escuchando esta canción
Me voy
Como se han ido tantos
Que el recuerdo disfrazó de santos
Y su estampa se ha vuelto ilusión
Descubro
El dejo de amargura
Que ni la mejor partitura
Le pudo marcar a mi voz
Se van
Como se han ido tantos
Carnaval les regaló su manto
Y su estampa se ha vuelto canción
Se han ido
Soplando candilejas
Esta noche no tengo ni quejas
Sin embargo el que llora soy yo
No se acuerdan de la Bruta
Con Pianito en su lugar
No me olvido más del Ñato
Imitando a Dogomar
Esta noche es de recuerdos
Este brindis por Pierrot
Quedan pocos Sabaleros
Aguantando el mostrador
Te estoy viendo a vos Benítez
En las páginas del Ring
Ni que hablar de un Picho López
Recostado en un casín
Esta noche es de recuerdos
Este brindis por Zelmar
No lo vieron a Molina
Que no pisa más el bar
Me voy
Me voy me vivo yendo
Esta noche me hizo vista el tiempo
En las copas me dieron changüí
Me llevo
Como un capricho burdo
La esperanza escondida en el zurdo
Que el Diablo se apiade de mí
Se van
Se van se siguen yendo
Cuesta abajo los sacude el viento
Como hojas de un sueño otoñal
Levanto
Mi vaso por las dudas
A veces la suerte me ayuda
Nadie golpea al zaguán
Oigan al payaso que canta
Cuántas penas en su garganta
Junto a su copa de licor
Solo
Esta noche no tengo ni tumba
Sin embargo el que canta soy yo
Miren al Pierrot callejero
De la noche fiel compañero
En su mejilla un lagrimón
Brilla
Le ha tocado pasarse la vida
A solas con su corazón
Recitado:
"Te largan a la cancha sin preguntarte si querés entrar
Por si fuera poco, de golero; toda una vida tapando agujeros
Y si en una de esas salís bueno, se tiran al suelo y te cobran penal"
Oigan al payaso que canta
Cuántas penas en su garganta
Junto a su copa de licor
Solo
Esta noche no luce su ropa
Sin embargo le llaman Pierrot
Miren al Pierrot callejero...
Recitado final improvisado por el "Canario" Luna:
"¿No sentiste, Viruta a los muchachos?
Dicen que ando solo, qué saben ellos...
Ellos no saben que siempre al lado mío está el niño
Calatrava, Raviol, que se nos fue hace poco
A solas sí... a solas pero viviendo la vida, gozándola..."
Oigan al payaso que canta...

Er is een reden
voor de zon die schijnt
Er is een reden
waarom we samen zijn
Er is een reden
voor de warme nacht
Ik kan het weten
Er is een reden
voor de volle maan
Er is een reden
waarom de sterren er staan
Er is een reden
dat onze harten slaan
Ik kan het weten
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me bent
En laat je hart slaan
als jij je liefde bekent
Laat je hart slaan
als een woeste trein
Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan
leg je ziel maar bloot
En laat je hart slaan
en dan doe ik dat ook
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me blijft
Je hele leven
Er is een reden
voor de mooie nacht
Er is een reden
dat jij op mij hebt gewacht
Je hele leven
En ik kom eraan
dat mag je weten
Want het ronde
van het mooie weer
Komt tot je onder
in deze zomerse sfeer
Dus laat de donder
even achter jou
En laat je leiden
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me bent
En laat je hart slaan
als jij je liefde bekent
Laat je hart slaan
als een woeste trein
Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan
leg je ziel maar bloot
En laat je hart slaan
en dan doe ik dat ook
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me blijft
Je hele leven
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me bent
En laat je hart slaan
als jij je liefde bekent
Laat je hart slaan
als een woeste trein
Omdat jij hier bent
Laat je hart slaan
leg je ziel maar bloot
En laat je hart slaan
en dan doe ik dat ook
Laat je hart slaan
als je bij me blijft

Brillantin' Brutal'
Brillantin' Brutal'
Composer(s): Falco; Robert Ponger
Performer(s): Falco
We are talking ‘bout inside outside
Zeichen der Zeit verschont uns bloß
Wo wir sind ist vorne, sind wir hinten
dann ist hinten vorne, schonungslos
Und was hier jeder weiß, dazu ist es immer noch zu heiß
No plastic money an der Bar, was seh ich oh lala - wunderbar
Nehmen sie hoch das Bein, treten sie ein
Unser Tanz, er muß der nächste sein
Play again, Sam, mach’s nochmal
Wir tanzen wieder Brillantin’ Brutal’
Still talking ‘bout software, hardware
Going nowhere hatten wir doch schon
Heiß von Pelz umkleidet, jeder Herz erleidet Schmerz
Ist das der Liebe Lohn
Und was hier jeder weiß, Lust und Luxus nehmen ihren Preis
Accept no credit cards an der Bar, was seh ich oh lala - wunderbar
Nehmen sie hoch das Bein, treten sie ein
Unser Tanz, er muß der nächste sein
Play again, Sam, mach’s nochmal
Willst du der Schüsse hall im Club Fatal
Get it up, don’t give it up
Ich seh deutlich einen neuen Fall
Get it up, don’t give it up
Im Fall der Fälle Brillantin’ Brutal’
Ancora coca co - ancora cora coca - ancora coca co - coca
Ancora coca co - ancora cora coca - What’s the last word they said, man?
allright
Hoch das Bein ...
Play again - C’mon Sam
Let us hear that tune
do it again
play
Brutal’
Brutal’
