Maria, Maria
Composer(s): W. Jean; J. Duplessis;
Carlos Santana; K. Perazzo; R. Rekow
Performer(s): Santana



Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar
Yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we're apart
It feels like we're together

57 Channels


57 Channels
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Teddy "Zig-Zag"



I bought a bourgeois house in the hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable tv
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched ’round and ’round ’til half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

Well now home entertainment was my baby’s wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

Well we might’a made some friends with some billionaires
We might’a got all nice and friendly if we’d made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said "bye-bye john
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on"

So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of elvis well I just let it blast
’til my tv lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbing the almighty peace
Judge said "what you got in your defense son?"
"fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on"

I can see by your eyes friend you’re just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on...

Composer(s): Lyra; Salina

Maria no mas
Es tu nombre y tal vez lo sabrás
Yo prefiero que te llames tan solo Maria, Maria no mas

Maria no mas
Me pregunto que secreto tendrás
Que me gustas más todas las otras Marías que yo conocí
Maria Elena, Maria Dolores, Maria Cristina, Maria la Ooooh

Maria no mas
Tú no sabes que dichoso me harás
Si me dices que eres mía, mi dulce Maria, Maria no mas
Maria, Maria

Maria no mas
Me pregunto que secreto tendrás
Que me gustas más todas las otras Marías que yo conocí

A mi lado muy feliz vivirás
Y te juro que yo quiero tan solo a Maria, Maria no mas
Maria, Maria no mas
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria no mas

'57 Chevrolet


'57 Chevrolet
Composer(s): Roger Bowling
Performer(s): Billie Jo Spears



Come and look at this old faded photograph
Honey, tell me what it brings to mind
It's a picture of that '57 Chevrolet
I wish that we could ride it one more time

I still get excited when I think about
The drive-in picture shows you took me to
But I don't recall a lot about the movie stars
Mostly that old Chevrolet and you

They don't make cars like they used to
I wish we still had it today
The love we first tasted
The good love we're still living
We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

Remember when we used to park it in the lane
And listen to the country radio?
We'd hold on to each other while the singer sang
And we'd stay like that 'til it was time to go

Now it makes me sad to think the good old days are gone
Although our love is still as strong today
But the world would have a lot more lovers hanging on
If they still made '57 Chevrolets

They don't make cars like they used to
I wish we still had it today
The love we first tasted
The good love we're still living
We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

... to fade

María Me Espera


María Me Espera
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo quisiera poder otro rato seguir
Yo quisiera charlar y otra copa tomar
Pero no puedo, tengo que irme
Porque maria me esta esperando
Ella sabe que hoy tarde no iba a llegar
No quisiera faltar, se podria enfadar
No me critiquen, tengo que irme
Porque maria me esta esperando

Cuando maria me espera yo siento
Que ni un minuto debiera tardarme
Alas quisiera, volar como el viento
Con tal de verme tan cerca de maria
Y es que ninguno de ustedes conoce
La gran dulzura que tiene maria
Es un poema, es un tierno suspiro
Ojala que tengan, ojala se encuentren
A otra maria

59 Lyndhurst Grove
Composer(s): Jarvis Cocker
Performer(s): Pulp



There's a picture by his first wife on the wall
stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall
a stain from last week's party on the stairs
no-one knows who made it
or how it ever got there
They were dancing with children round their necks
Talking business, books and records, art and sex
All things being considered
you'd call it a success
you wore your black dress

He's an architect and such a lovely guy
and he'll stay with you until the day you die
and he'll give you everything you could desire
oh well almost everything
everything that he can buy
So you sometimes go out in the afternoon
Spend an hour with your lover in his bedroom
hear old women rolling trolleys down the road
back to Lyndhurst Grove
Lyndhurst Grove, Oh

Maria Maria


Maria Maria
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle;
P. Massara; J. Mocchetti; Manipoli
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Tu passes dans mes insomnies comme un soleil de nuit
Tu es le visage inconnu du paradis perdu

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Je te cherche partout comme un chien, comme un fou
J'ai donné à mon rêve ton nom
Et c'est lui qui m'réveille et c'est lui que j'appelle
A tous les vents de mes illusions

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitie de moi

Je ne retrouve le matin que le gris quotidien
Tu disparais dans les fumées de la réalité

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin

Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria

5.905


5.905
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): John Entwistle



Mother was an incubator
Father was the contents
Of a test tube in the icebox
In the factory of birth
My name is 905
And I've just become alive
I'm the newest populator
Of the planet we call earth

In suspended animation
My childhood passed me by
If I speak without emotion
Then you know the reason why
Knowledge of the universe
Was fed into my mind
As my adolescent body
Left its puberty behind

And everything I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Ev'ry sentence in my head
Someone else has said
At the end of my life is an open door

Automatically defrosted
My manhood came on time
I became a man
I left the ICE school behind
And now I'm to begin
The life that I'm assigned
A life that's been lived before
A thousand times

I have a feelin' deep inside
That something is missin'
There's a feelin' in my soul
And I can't help wishin'
That one day I'll discover
That we're livin' a lie
And I'll tell the whole world
The reasons why

But until then, all I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Ev'ry idea in my head
Someone else has said
At the end of my life is an open door

Marie-Trottoir


Marie-Trottoir
Composer(s): Charles Dumont; Michel Vaucaire
Performer(s): Édith Piaf



Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir
Toi qui n'attend personne
Et un peu tout le monde
Perchée sur tes talons
Sur tes trops hauts talons
Marie qui vend du rêve
À ceux qui ont envie d'espoir
Tu as d'ailleurs
De quoi plaire à certains rêveurs
Tu es assez fardée
Tu es un peu trop blonde
Et puis tu as aussi
Aussi un parapluie
Marie qui pense à tout
Même à se mettre à l'abri
Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir
Toi qui n'attend personne
Et un peu tout le monde
Marie née à Angers
À Nice, ou à Saint-Dié
Marie qui vend du rêve
À ceux qui ont besoin d'aimer
Bonsoir Marie-Trottoir
Tu fais rien dans le noir
Ne parle pas, souris, vas-y
Joue les Jocondes
Marie qui a toujours
Pour tous les sans-amour
Marie qui a un coeur
Grand comme une roue de secours
Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir...

Maria Lando


Maria Lando
Composer(s): César Calvo; Chabuca Granda
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar;
Susana Baca; David Byrne



Dawn breaks shattering like a statue
like a statue of wings that scatter throughout the city
And noon sings like a bell made of water
A bell made of golden water that keeps us from loneliness
And the night lifts its tall goblet
its tall, tall goblet, early moon over the sea

But for Maria there is no dawn
But for Maria there is no midday
But for Maria there is no moon
lifting its red goblet over the waters

Maria has no time to lift her eyes
Maria to lift her eyes, broken by lack of sleep
Maria broken by lack of sleep from so much suffering
Maria from so much suffering, all she does is work

Maria just works and works
Maria only works
and her work enriches others

6 a.m. Or Nearer


6 a.m. Or Nearer
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): The Guess Who



There ain't no reason to talk about the things I could have done
My livin' don't come easy and I've hardly just begun
I'm not getting back the heartaches like before
Anymore
Anymore

They say seeing is believing so I lent myself to travel
Soon became experienced and my soul turned into gravel
Turned every stone and opened every door
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning

I soon got sick of falling
So I took a try in praying
I heard somebody calling
Might have been a baby playing
And I fell down from the ceiling to the floor
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning

6060-842!

Tina went to the Lady's room
Saw written on the wall
"If you'd like a very nice time
Just give this number a call"

It was 6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you

Tina reached in her pocketbook
Pulled out a thin dime
Dropped it in the phone slot
Prayin' she'd get the line

It was 6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you

Dial the number to call
Get no answer at all
Dime's in the slot
Ready to trot

Uh, 6060-842
I've been tryin' all day
And I'm makin' no headway
Operator, what's wrong?
I dial stupid number all day long

Operator said,
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected

Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?

Like minutes are to an hour
Darling, so you are to me...

Maria Elena, you're the answer to a prayer
Maria Elena, can't you see how much I care?
To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh
And when you're near my heart can't speak above a sigh

Maria Elena, say that we will never part
Maria Elena, take me to your heart
A love like mine is great enough for two
To share this love is really all I ask of you

Tuyo es todo mi ser tuyo es mujer
Yo todo el corazón te lo entregué
Eres mi fé, eres mi Dios, eres mi amor

Maria nacio en el campo, junto con la libertad

I was a car hop
You were into be-bop

Well I know I'd never let you go
Back with some of my friends

You were bad with your pom-poms
You said ooh wah go team ooh wah go
Ooh-ee baby I want you to know

If I could go back in time
Well, I know somehow you'd still be mine
I wouldn't be so blind
To that wonderful

'65 Love Affair

María De La Calle


María De La Calle
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



María de la calle
nace cuando muere el sol
Se para en las esquinas
con temor...
a que llegue un policía
y la sorprenda dando amor
María de la calle, a un señor

Con la mirada atenta
siempre anda por ahí
con su vestido negro
de salir...
Como una gata en agosto
de diciembre al mes de abril
María de la calle, de Madrid

Y se va dando, como la noche
y entre los coches sus pasos vuelan
Todo el que tiene una pena
va tras de ti
María sola, la de la calle
pequeño talle, triste sonrisa
Tiene el corazón a prisa
para olvidar...

María de la calle
siempre canta una canción
de esas que la radio ya olvidó
Y le cuenta a todo el mundo
que ella tuvo un gran amor
que fue por un "negocio"
a Nueva York

María vuelve a casa
cuando el sol ya va a salir
murmuran las vecinas, por ahí...
Prepara el desayuno
y lee el diario del país
María de la calle
va a dormir

68


68
Performer(s): Zjef Vanuytsel;



We waren late oorlogskinderen in volle armoede verwekt
we groeiden op in het begin der vette jaren
in alle kuisheid opgevoed
met een domper op de bek
men wilde ons in alle zuiverheid bewaren
we werden ouder en de rock'n'roll
teisterde het land
we wierpen onze eerste blikken naar de meiden
toen kwam Dylan en de rest
en in ons, een stille kracht
mijn beste jongen, 't waren wonderlijke tijden

Alles wat er dan gebeurde
ging toen zo verduiveld snel
we verbraken onze banden met 't verleden
onze haren werden langer
als een liederlijk protest
tegen wat de burgerij van toen vereerde
we riepen alles zal veranderen
want iedereen is gelijk
wat de ouderen ons vertelden wordt vergeten
we riepen alles wordt verdeeld
van nu af aan geen arm of rijk
mijn beste jongen, 't leek de aardse tuin van Eden

't Was in 68, we waren jong en zo oprecht
we droomden van de revolutie
en we meenden het niet slecht
o we waren maffe kikkers
maar o mijn god, we waren echt

De tijd heeft uitgewezen
zoals men ons ook had voorspeld
dat het niet zo simpel was als we toen meenden
de cirkel werd gesloten
want de strijders van voorheen
zijn hun oude droom meestal allang vergeten
misschien was het toch niet vergeefs
zoals ik soms nog wel eens denk
is er toen toch meer gebeurd dan we nu weten
misschien komt alles ooit terug
maar dan juister als voorheen
want beste jongen, 't leek de aardse tuin van Eden

't Was in 68, we waren jong en zo oprecht
we droomden van de revolutie
en we meenden het niet slecht
o we waren maffe kikkers
maar o mijn god, we waren echt

Maria Che Se Ne Va


Maria Che Se Ne Va
French Title: Marie, Quand Tu T'en Vas
Composer(s): Georges Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Maria che se ne va
Il sole si nasconde
E tornano da me
Le nuviole, le ombre
Dei non so dei perché

Maria che se ne va
Un sogno incattivito
Fra i tanti che mi dà
Un giorno che è finito
Senza spuntare mai

Maria
Maria che se ne va

Maria che ne va
Le assurde gelosie
Di un uomo che non sa
Che le malinconie
Di chi vuole e non ha

Maria che se ne va
La macchina scoperta
Il vento nel foulard
Un'avventura certa
E io a morire qua

Maria
Maria che se ne va

Maria che tornerà
Col trucco un po' sbavato
E mi sorriderà
Togliendosi il vestito
E così mi riavrà

Maria che tornerà
Con aria disinvolta
A cui non chiederò
Chiedendo che una volta
Prima o opoi chi losa

Maria
Maria
Forse non tornerà
Maria che se ne va
