Mi Gran Amor


Mi Gran Amor
Composer(s): Augusto Algueró; De León; Rafael
Performer(s): Nino Bravo



Mi gran amor
has sido tú
aurora, cielo y paraíso
de juventud
mi gran amor
si no es por ti
mi vida vacía
sin luz estaría

Mi gran amor
(mi gran amor)
quisiera ser
(quisiera ser)
mendigo, rey y centinela
de tu querer
poder soñar sin despertar
que soy tu alegría
de noche y de día
y siempre tuyo vida mía

Mi gran amor
te conocí
pues siglos antes
de encontrarnos
te presentí
mi corazón por tu pasión
sin darme yo cuenta
se ha vuelto canción

Ya soy feliz
(ya soy feliz)
mi gran amor
(mi gran amor)
y el árbol seco
de mi vida
ya tiene flor
y se cantar al despertar
que soy tu alegría
de noche y de día
y siempre tuyo vida mía

y siempre tuyo vida mía
(mi gran amor has sido tú
mi gran amor)

Only One Woman


Only One Woman
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Marbles;
and various other artists



Ten little Indians
Standing around
I bet there are many
So how would I know

As she was only one woman
only one woman
And I've got a picture of the woman I love
Who sees my lovely face?
Who sees my shame
Nobody in the place
Can tell me her name

'Cause she was only one woman
only one woman
And I've got a picture of the woman I love
Ten little Indians
Now there are none
I bet there are many
And her love still goes on

'Cause she was only one woman
only one woman
And I've got a picture of the woman I love
Well
she was only one woman
only one woman
And I've got a picture of the woman I love ...

Mi Despedida


Mi Despedida
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Vengo a cantarle mi despedida
pa'que te acuerdes de un pobre amor
quiero dejarte toda mi vida
estre las notas de esta canción

Si estás durmiendo baja tu sueño
hasta que a tu alma llegue mi voz
te está cantando quien fue tu dueño
que en esta noche te dice adiós
te está cantando quien fue tu dueño
que en esta noche te dice adiós

Ultima vez que yo te canto
porque m e voy quizás pa'siempre
quiero dejar en ti mi tristeza
para llevarme tu dicha en mí

Fue tu cariño como una hoguera
que sabe Dios como se encendió
fue mi castigo que te quisiera
y es mi destino decirte adiós

La luna brilla cada vez menos
como si el sol ya fuera a salir
y yo te canto casi llorando
como si ya me fuera a morir
y yo te canto casi llorando
como si ya me fuera a morir

Adiós amor, adiós adios
adiós amor, adios adios

Only Love Can Break A Heart


Only Love Can Break A Heart
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): Gene Pitney



Only love can break a heart
only love can mend it again

(whistling and instrumental)

Last night I hurt you but darlin' remember this
Only love can break a heart
only love can mend it again, hmm, hmm
You know I'm sorry, I'll prove it with just one kiss
Only love can break a heart
only love can mend it agai-ai-ain

Give me a chance to make up for the harm I've done
Try to forgive me and let's keep the two of us one

Please let me hold you and love you for always and always
Only love can break a heart
only love can mend it agai-ai-ain
Only love can break a heart
only love can mend-it--again

(whistling and instrumental)

Mi Casa Ha Sido Tomada Por Las Flores


Mi Casa Ha Sido Tomada Por Las Flores
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Pasa poco pero pasa, compadre
Es difícil de ligar
Y a ese güije que lo inventa, comadre
lo debieran diputar
Te despiertan los aromas perdidos
los que olvida la ciudad
y de pronto ves tu hogar invadido
por la luminosidad

Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores
Traigan copas, traigan vasos
al derrame de colores
Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores
Vengan almas y retazos
voy a repartir canciones

Flores fulgurantes y discretas
timoratas y coquetas
inmutables y sin paz
Flores que rebosan las ventanas
que se vierten y encaraman
sobre toda la ciudad

Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores
Traigan copas, traigan vasos
al derrame de colores
Mi casa ha sido tomada por las flores
Vengan almas y retazos
voy a repartir canciones

Only Love


Only Love ((Adapted from: L'amour En Héritage (by Nana Mouskouri) - 1984)) Composer(s): Vladimir Cosma - Pierre Delanoë - Norman Gimbel Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1984 Versions In Other Languages: 1985 - Aber Die Liebe Bleibt (by Nana Mouskouri) 1985 - Come Un'eredità (by Nana Mouskouri) 1986 - Liefde Alleen (by Liliane Saint-Pierre) 1986 - La Dicha Del Amor (by Nana Mouskouri) 1986 - Rakkaus (by Lea Laven) 1986 - Najljepši Poklon Tvoj (by Tereza)



Only love can make a memory
Only love can make a moment last
You were there
And all the world was young
And all its songs unsung
And I remember you then
When love was all
All you were living for
And how you gave that love to me

Only then I felt my heart was free
I was part of you and you were all of me
Warm were the days and the nights of those years
Painted in colors to outshine the sun
All of the words and the dreams and the tears
Live in my remembrance

Only love can make a memory
Only love can make that moment last
Life was new
There was a rage to live
Each day a page to live
And I remember you then
When love was all
All you were living for
And how you gave that love to me

Only then I knew my heart was free
I was part of you and you were all of me

Mi Casa


Mi Casa
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Detrás de las montañas, encontrarás un río
subiendo río arriba llegarás
verás que hay un recodo, al lado del camino
allí está mi casa, allí está mi casa
En ella olvido al mundo, y el mundo a mi me olvida
dentro se respira olor de hogar
allí guardo mis penas, recuerdos y aventuras
allí está mi casa, allí está mi casa
Sólo hay una palabra, sólo hay una opinión
sólo hay una persona, y en la soledad
quisiera que hubieran dos
Sólo hay una palabra, sólo hay una opinión
sólo hay una persona, y en la soledad
quisiera que hubieran dos
Allí está mi casa
Allí está mi casa
Allí está mi casa

Only In My Dreams


Only In My Dreams
Performer(s): Trini Lopez



Oh every night I hold her
Lovely words I've told her
No matter how it seems
It's only in my dreams

Oh how I would miss her
Every night I'd kiss her
No matter how it seems
It's only in my dreams

(Instrumental Break)

I'm really not a bold one
My love is not a cold one
No matter how it seems
It's only in my dreams

So in my dreams I'll greet her
Life will be much sweeter
No matter how it seems
It's only in my dreams

Mi Cariñito


Mi Cariñito
Composer(s): Aldo Legui; Carlos Ivan Medina;
G. Garvarentz; C. Nicolas
Performer(s): Dalida



Mi Cariñito
Au soleil des vacances
J'avais la chance
De t'avoir près de moi

Au bord des grèves
Voguaient, voguaient nos rêves
Mi Cariñito
Et l'amour brûlait nos pas

Le vent du large
Nous parlait de voyage
Et sur la plage
Où s'étalaient nos joies

Mi Cariñito
Nous trouvions la fortune
D'un clair de lune
Rappelle-toi

Mi Cariñito
L'été passe bien vite
Et l'on se quitte
Dans un dernier baiser

Seule sur la grève
J'ai vu s'enfuir mon rêve
Mi Cariñito
Loin de toi je suis restée

Le vent du large
S'est chargé de nuages
Et sur la plage
Tout semble abandonné

Mi Cariñito
Il faut que tu reviennes
Pour que revienne
Enfin l'été

Mi Cariñito
Mi Cariñito
Mi Cariñito

Performer(s): Jay & The Americans;

Only in America
Can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire

Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yea-a-a-a
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars

Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Only in America (poor boy like me)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)

Mi Buenos Aires Querido


Mi Buenos Aires Querido
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Mi Buenos Aires querido
cuando yo te vuelva a ver
no habrá más penas ni olvido

El farolito de la calle en que nací
fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor
bajo su quieta lucecita yo la vi
a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol
Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver
ciudad porteña de mi único querer
oigo la queja de un bandoneón
¡dentro 'e mi pecho pide rienda el corazón!

Mi Buenos Aires, tierra florida
donde mi vida terminaré
bajo tu amparo no hay desengaños
vuelan los años, se olvida el dolor
en caravana los recuerdos pasan
con una estela dulce de emoción
¡Quiero que sepas, que al evocarte
se van las penas del corazón!

La ventanita de mi calle de arrabal
donde sonríe una muchachita en flor
quiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar
aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar
En la cortada, más maleva, una canción, dice su ruego de coraje y de pasión
una promesa, y un suspirar
borró una lágrima de pena aquel cantar

Mi Buenos Aires querido
cuando yo te vuelva a ver
no habrá más penas ni olvido

Only Heaven Can Wait (For Love)


Only Heaven Can Wait (For Love)
Composer(s): Roberta Flack; Eric Mercury
Performer(s): Roberta Flack



We know that it’s all over
still we haven’t said goodbye
Pretending life is wonderful, pretending you and I

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait
Waiting for love won’t make it happen
Crying for love don’t mean you care … oh no
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended
Never’s too late, only heaven can wait

In horoscopes, in true romance and Playboy magazine
We lie in bed at night and search the pages for our dreams

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait
And waiting for love won’t make it happen
Crying for love don’t mean you care … oh no
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended
Ever’s too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Talking………
So we’ve been together too long, you and I
There were the children, shared interests, creative interests, business interests
our In-laws, and then just plain old bad habits
Now things have changed
You’ve changed, I’ve changed and it’s time to move on
So, my sweet, you kept doubting that I would understand what you meant
when you said you needed your space
Well, I do understand
I have some more reasons – another purpose to my life
and I’m ready to take my own space – we both deserve it – something real

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait

Slowly……..
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever

Shangri La


Shangri La
Composer(s): Peter de Wijn
First performance by: Gerard Joling - 1988



Leven, liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La

In een nacht van neon en de geur van schralend bier
Staat daar een kamerscherm van rijstpapier
De wereld is wat niemand eigenlijk
In een jungle van beton voel

Wie kan leven zonder liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La
Wie kan leven zonder liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La

Ja, leef maar op gevoel
Je dagen zonder doel
Tot morgen weer voorbij is
Langs ieder flatgebouw
Zie ik een bamboetouw
Leven zonder liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La

Ja, leef maar op gevoel
Je dromen zonder doel
Tot morgen weer voorbij is
Leven, liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri la

Leven, liefde
Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri la

Ik ben op zoek naar Shangri La...

Mi Buen Amor


Mi Buen Amor
Composer(s): L. Estéfano
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan
and various other artists



Hay amores que se esfuman con los años
Hay amores que su llama sigue viva
Los inciertos, que son rosa y son espina
Y hay amores de los buenos, como tú
Hay amores que se siembran y florecen
Hay amores que terminan en sequía
Los que traen desengaños en la vida
Y hay amores de los buenos, como tú

Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio
No pretendas que te olvide así, no más
Que tu amor fue mar cuando sedienta
Me arrimé a tu puerto a descansar
Que tu amor, amor, sólo el que un día
en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad

Hay amores que nos llevan al abismo
Hay amores que jamás se nos olvidan
Los que dan toda ternura y fantasía
Son amores de los buenos, como tú

Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio
No pretendas que sea poco mi penar
que tu amor fue luz de pleno día
cuando todo era oscuridad
Que tu amor, amor sólo el que un día
en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad
en tu pecho, vida mía, me dio la felicidad

Only Forever


Only Forever
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go?
Only forever
If you care to know
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask
How long would it take me
To be near if you bechon?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild

How long would it take me
To be near if you bechon?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second.
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild

Mi Amante Niña, Mi Compañera


Mi Amante Niña, Mi Compañera
Composer(s): L. Flavio; J. Candia
Performer(s): Raphael



Mi amiga, mi buena amiga
Mi amante niña, mi compañera
Quisiera contarle al mundo
Lo que es tenerte la noche entera
Y recorrer tus caminos
Tu vientre fino
Tu piel de seda
Y el paisaje de tu pelo
Sobre la almohada
Y tu boca fresca
Razón de mi vida y mi ser
Toda mi alegría
Molino en que gira mi ser
Tu amor y mi vida
El hijo de tus entrañas
Tendrá tus ojos de primavera
Y tu risa de campana
Mi amante niña y mi compañera
Si alguna vez te hago daño
Te hiero en algo, mi compañera
Perdóname como a un niño
Que tiene celos, mi compañera
A veces cuando despierto
A velar tu sueño de niña buena
Te robo en silencio un beso
Mi amante niña, mi compañera
Y pienso si no es pecado
Ser tan dichoso y me da vergüenza
Y entonces lloro en silencio
Por lo que sufres, mi compañera
Mi amiga, mi buena amiga
Mi amante niña y mi compañera

Only For Americans


Only For Americans
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Griffies & Eddie Albert;
The Andrews Sisters



Horace: Countess, you're my pal
Hey, we gotta celebrate!
Countess: What?
Horace: Yeah, first to Montmartre!
Then the Moulin Rouge! The Folies Bergere!
Countess: Not at all....
Horace: Not Montmartre?
Countess: No
Horace: Not the Moulin Rouge?
Countess: No
Horace: Not the Folies Bergere?
Countess: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
They are...

Only for Americans
The midnight life in gay Paree
The Frenchman he would never see
It's only for Americans

The prices in the smart café
The Frenchman he would never pay
The price that's more is only for
Americans from the U.S.A.

A Montmartre lady drops her hanky
And slyly winks her eye
That's only for the Yankee
The Frenchman wouldn't buy

Only for Americans
The Frenchmen on the boulevards
Don't buy those dirty postal cards
They're only for Americans

The little holes for peeping through
To see what naughty people do
The French would bore, they're only for
Americans from the U.S.A.

Only for Americans
The shops with many real antiques
Antiques as old as seven weeks
They're only for Americans

The bed on which a king made love
Which there are sev'ral dozen of
The French pooh pooh, we sell them to
Americans from the U.S.A.

Those old Napoleon brandy labels
That recently were made
They're not for Frenchmen's tables
They're for the Yankee trade

Only for Americans
The Frenchman gets his kisses free
But those for which there is a fee
Are only for Americans

You'll find two prices on a dress
One that is extremely less
The price that's more is only for
Americans from the U.S.A.

Only for Americans
A Frenchman's food is very plain
Those fancy sauces with ptomaine
Are only for Americans

A Frenchman seldom eats the snails
With little ulcers on their tails
And all that cheese was made to please
Americans from the U.S.A.

While the American carouses
Where crimson shadows creep
The French avoid those houses
They go to bed to sleep

Only for Americans
A Frenchman wouldn't be impressed
To see a show with girls undressed
That's only for Americans

The French don't go to naked shows
They've seen what's underneath the clothes
And each encore is only for
Americans from the U.S.A.

Only for Americans
The Frenchmen don't keep company
With south of France society
That's only for Americans

The Frenchman hasn't large amounts
To pay for Barons, Dukes and Counts
That you adore, they're only for
Americans from the U.S.A.

We like to keep the good relations
That nothing must upset
We give you decorations
That Frenchmen seldom get

Only for Americans
Our finest art is in the Louvre
The ones the experts don't approve
Are only for Americans

We keep an artist by the gate
To sign the paintings while you wait
Before they're dry, they're purchased by
Americans from the U.S.A.

But we can't do without them
We're simply mad about them
The Americans
The Americans
The Americans from the U.S.A.

Mexico (Luis Mariano)


Mexico
Composer(s): Raymond Vincy; Francis Lopez
Performer(s): Luis Mariano



On a chanté les Parisiennes
Leurs petits nez et leurs chapeaux
On a chanté les Madrilènes
Qui vont aux arènes
Pour le toréro
On prétend que les Norvégiennes
Fille du Nord, ont le sang chaud
Et bien que les Américaines
Soient les souveraines
Du Monde Nouveau
On oublie tout
Sous le beau ciel de Mexico
On devient fou
Au son des rythmes tropicaux...
Le seul désir qui vous entraîne
Dès qu'on a quitté le bateau
C'est de goûter une semaine
L'aventure mexicaine
Au soleil de Mexico...

{Refrain:}
Mexico, Mexico...
Sous ton soleil qui chante
Le temps paraît trop court
Pour goûter au bonheur de chaque jour
Mexico, Mexico...
Tes femmes sont ardentes
Et tu seras toujours
Le Paradis des cœurs
Et de l'Amour

Une aventure mexicaine
Sous le soleil de Mexico
Ça dure à peine une semaine
Mais quelle semaine
Et quel crescendo...
Le premier soir on se promène
On danse un tendre boléro
Puis le deuxième on se déchaine
Plus rien ne vous freine
On part au galop...
On oublie tout
Sous le beau ciel de Mexico
On devient fou
Au son des rythmes tropicaux...
Si vous avez un jour la veine
De pouvoir prendre le bateau
Allez goûter une semaine
A l'aventure mexicaine
Au soleil de Mexico...

{Refrain}

Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico

Only Fools And Horses


Only Fools And Horses
Composer(s): John Sullivan
Performer(s): John Sullivan



Opening Theme:
Stick a pony in me pocket
I'll fetch the suitcase from the van
Cos if you want the best 'uns
But you don't ask questions
Then brother, I'm your man
Cos where it all comes from is a mystery
It's like the changin' of the seasons
And the tides of the sea
But here's the one that's drivin' me beserk
Why do only fools and horses work?
La-la-la
La-lala-la
La-la-la
La-lala-la

Closing Theme:
We've got some half price cracked ice and miles and miles of carpet tiles
T.V.s, deep freeze and David Bowie L.P.'s
Ball games, gold chains, whatsnames, pictures frames and leather goods
And Trevor Francis track suits from a mush in Shepherds Bush
Bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush ...
No income tax, no V.A.T.
No money back, no guarantee
Black or white, rich or poor
We'll cut prices at a stroke......
God bless Hooky Street
Viva Hooky Street
Long live Hooky Street
C'est magnifique, Hooky Street
Magnifique, Hooky Street
Hooky Street (to fade)

Mexico (Jefferson Airplane)


Mexico
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade
Come to the Poet's Room
Talking about the problems of the leaf
And yes, it'll be back soon

There used to be tons of gold and green
Comin' up here from Mexico
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?

But Mexico is under the thumb
Of a man we call Richard
And he's come to call himself king
But he's a small-headed man
And he doesn't know a thing
About how to deal for you

How to deal for you
There are millions of you now
I mean it's not as if you were alone
There are brothers everywhere
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
And God knows how far it can go

But thanks Uncle Charlie
For your Mexican smoke
You're a legend Owsley
For your righteous dope

There were a half a million people on the lawn
And we sang to the faces in the dark
How long must that damn race
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
How long must the Panther race
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
And no no no no no nobody waits
