Martianos
Martianos
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Yo soy un grano de arena
una hoja más en un árbol
y cada ola me enseña
y cada brisa trae algo
No he visto todas las tierras
no he visto todos los mares
pero he sentido la guerra
silbando por todas partes
Cuando nací me dijeron
naciste por la esperanza
Así le digo a mi hijo
y parto hacia la matanza
Quiero que pare la muerte
yo quiero que pare el frío
para poder dedicarme
a flor, a viento y a río
El mundo me dio las manos
dos reinos que hacen suerte
Llevo una flor en la diestra
que es el reino de la muerte
De amor yo vivo y de espada
de boca y puertas abiertas
Hay que vivir de una bala
Hay que morir de una fiesta
Qué duras son esas noches
en que queremos ser buenos
y hay que matar sollozando
y hay que morir sonriendo

Oh, You Beautiful Doll
Composer(s): Nat D. Ayer; Seymour Brown
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists
Honey dear, want you near
Just turn down the light and then come over here
Nestle close up to my side
My heart's afire with love's desire
In my arms, rest complete
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
Till I met you, some time ago
But now I know I love you so
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll
Precious prize, close your eyes
Now we're goin' to visit Lovers' Paradise
Press your lips again to mine
For love is king of ev'rything
Squeeze me, dear! I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear
This is how I'll go through life
No care or strife when you're my wife
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you beautiful doll
You great, big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, you beautiful doll

Martha
Martha
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps, patiently
She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept, pleasantly
She does as she pleases, she listens for me
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, "Fly to me"
You can dance and sing and walk with me
And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
My love she talks to winking windows as she murmurs to her feet, thoughtly
She separates in laughter to my side, caught for me
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock and it's waiting there for me
She weeds apart through a token lock
What a great thing to be free
She weeps time, starts unspoken, but when the gate swings there she'll be
There she'll be: in green sun, on blue earth under warm running shower

A strawberry moon, a blueberry sky
Polka-dot stars shining on high

Sycamore trees, roses in bloom

Oh, what a night for love
The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips
Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love
The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips
Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right

Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

Marta, Rambling rose of the wildwood
Marta, with your fragrance divine
Rosebud, of the days of my childhood
Watched you bloom in the wild wood
and I hoped you'd be mine.
Marta, though your eyes beam at twilight
sparkling like each dewdrop at dawn
Marta, when I look for your love light
I awake with a sigh
and I find you are gone
Marta, Rambling rose of the wildwood
Marta, with your fragrance divine
Rosebud of the days of my childhood
Watched you bloom in the wildwood
and I hoped you'd be mine
Marta, now your eyes beam at twilight
sparkling like each dewdrop at dawn
Marta, when I look for your love light
I awake with a sigh, and I find you are gone

Mary Me A Little
Mary Me A Little
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
"Marry me a little
Love me just enough
Cry, but not too often
Play, but not too rough
Keep a tender distance
So we'll both be free
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
Marry me a little
Do it with a will
Make a few demands
I'm able to fulfill
Want me more than others, not
Exclusively
That's the way it ought to be
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!"

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephants eye
An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky
Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye
Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree
And an old weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me
Oh, What a beautiful mornin’
Oh, What a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way

Married Man Blues
Married Man Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Don’t you ever marry if you love your liberty
Don’t do it boy
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
But when she gets you she’ll find an ace up her sleeve
Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
But now all I hear rattlin’ is this ball and chain of mine
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
But now I’m married and they don’t love me no more
My Mama says marry my Papa says use your head
Mama told me to marry my Papa says use your head
Because being married is just like being dead
Pa you knew your stuff

Oh, Sweet Temptation
Composer(s): Wayne Carson
Performer(s): Gary Stewart
Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you
Must be the wine
And the way the candle shines
That makes me wanna take you through the night
One of us must be strong
For we both been wrong
And your waiting ban ??? keeps saying: it's not right
Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you
I can feel the trembling hands
Until you really need a man
And I could satisfy the need in you
Well, it's not that I'm so smart
I just don't wanna break your heart
Go on home and love the one you're married to
Oh, sweet temptation
It's hard to turn away
I look into your begging eyes
And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning
And you will hate me too
'Cause after the fire of the night's desire
I'll have to say goodbye to you

Marrakesh Express
Marrakesh Express
Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
Looking at the world
Trough the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train
To clear Moroccan skies
Bugs and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American man is five foot tall and you
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen up to what's been said to you
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take a train to Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth
Cold coffins hang in the square
Charming corporals in the square
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board that train
All on board that train
All on board that train

A chord in C is beautiful

Our troubles will go wingin’
The moment we start singin’
All our favourite melodies

That used to hang around
It’s time we had that parlour newly painted
Time for us to get reacquainted
Oh, Suzannah, I’ll let you sing soprano
Dust off that old piana tonight

Marquise
Composer(s): Tristan Bernard; Georges Brassens; Pierre Corneille
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Marquise, si mon visage
A quelques traits un peu vieux
Souvenez-vous qu'à mon âge
Vous ne vaudrez guères mieux
{2x}
Le temps aux plus belles choses
Se plaîst à faire un affront
Et saura faner vos roses
Comme il a ridé mon front
{2x}
Le mesme cours des planètes
Règle nos jours et nos nuits
On m'a vu ce que vous estes
Vous serez ce que je suis
{2x}
Peut-être que je serai vieille
Répond Marquise, cependant
J'ai vingt-six ans, mon vieux Corneille
Et je t'emmerde en attendant
{2x}

Performer(s): The Byrds;

I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry
Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah
A-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was
In her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susannah, don't you cry
Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Marquee Moon
Marquee Moon
Composer(s): Tom Verlaine
Originally performed by: Television
Covered by various other artists
I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else
Life in the hive puckered up my night
the kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks
I asked him
how he don't go mad
He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad"
Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me
all they said get in
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard
And me
I got out again

You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone

Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
