Canto Libre


Canto Libre Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara; Inti-Illimani; Francesca Ancarola



El verso es una paloma
que busca donde anidar
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar

Mi canto es un canto libre
que se quiere regalar
mi canto es un canto libre
A quien le estreche su mano
a quien quiera disparar
mi canto es un canto libre
Mi canto es una cadena
sin comienzo ni final
y en cada eslabon se encuentra
el canto de los demas

Sigamos cantando juntos
a toda la humanidad
Sigamos cantando juntos
que el canto es una paloma
que vula para encontrar
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar

Mi canto es un canto libre

Fire (Arthur Brown)


Fire
Composer(s): Arthur Brown; Vincent Crane;
Mike Finesilver; Peter Ker
Performer(s): Arthur Brown



I am the god of hell fire and I bring you
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned
but all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
you know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn!
You've been living like a little girl
in the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
you know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time burn your mind
you're falling far too far behind

Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Marcella Bella;
Formula 3; Mina; Mogol; Utopia



Fiori rosa fiori di pesco c'eri tu
fiori nuovi, stasera esco, ho un anno in più
stessa strada, stessa porta
Scusa
se son venuto qui questa sera
da solo non riuscivo a dormire perché
di notte ho ancor bisogno di te
fammi entrare per favore
solo
credevo di volare e non volo
credevo che l'azzurro di due occhi
per me
fosse sempre cielo, non è
fosse sempre cielo, non è
posso stringerti le mani
come sono fredde tu tremi
no, non sto sbagliando mi ami
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è vero
Coro : dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che noi non siamo stati mai
lontani
dimmi che è vero
ieri era oggi, oggi è già domani
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è ve...

Scusa
credevo proprio che tu fossi sola
credevo non ci fosse nessuno con te
oh scusami tanto se puoi
signore chiedo scusa anche a lei
ma io ero proprio fuori di me
io ero proprio fuori di me quando dicevo
posso stringerti le mani
come sono fredde tu tremi
no, non sto sbagliando mi ami
dimmi che è vero
dimmi che è vero
ecc. ecc.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name


Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Composer(s): Gary Portnoy - Judy Hart Angelo
Performer(s): Gary Portnoy



Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those night when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiancé didn't show

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came...

Canto Arena


Canto Arena
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Word of Mouth



Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región
tomando señas, descifrando encrucijadas
mi cuerpo sigue practicando su cuestión
cruje mi hueso y se hace la palabra
Hoy continué domesticando la razón
llena de asombro ante el día sucedido
proyecto un rápido boceto de la acción
trazo versiones que capturo del olvido

Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna

He puesto filo al anhelante corazón
arrojo estrellas a mecharse contra vientos
el sueño ha desencadenado la canción
y la canción de hoy me sabe a juramento
La prisa lleva maravilla y lleva error
pero viajamos sobre rueda encabritada
he despertado en el ojo del ciclón
cuento millones de agujeros en el alma

Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna

Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región
con dulce látigo de abeja en la conciencia
hoy me perdí amar con planificación
pero gane a lo que partió con la prudencia
Hoy continué dándole cuerda a mi reloj
con timbre atado sobre número invisible
poco me importa donde rompa mi estación
si cuando rompe está rompiendo lo imposible

Por eso canto arena
roca que luego es multitud del agua buena
Y canto espuma
cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna

Fiorellino


Fiorellino French & Spanish Titles: Petite Fleur; Florecita Performer(s): Sidney Bechet


L'ho nascosto meglio che in un qualsiasi
altro posto
nel grande giardino del mio cuore
fiorellino
Questo fiore più grazioso di un bouquet
custodisce un segreto
Tutti i miei sogni d'infanzia
l'amore dei miei genitori
e tutte quelle albe
fatte di lieti ricordi lontani
Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito
tu resti la mia fortuna (o portafortuna)
fiorellino
Sui miei 20 anni
io mi fermo un momento
per respirare
il profumo che ho tanto amato
Dentro il mio cuore
tu fiorirai sempre
nel grande giardino dell'amore
fiorellino....
Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito
tu resti la mia fortuna
fiorellino
Sui miei 20 anni
io mi fermo un momento
per respirare
il profumo che tanto ho amato
Dentro il mio cuore
tu fiorirai sempre
nel grande giardino dell'amore
fiorellino....

Clémentine Et Léon


Clémentine Et Léon
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Clémentine et Léon Barentin
Qui vendaient des pendules à Pantin
Se sont connus un jour en prenant leur journal
À côté du café du Canal

Et le jour de la St-Valentin
Ils se sont mariés sans parents ni parrains
La fanfare avait joué des musiques de Chopin
Clémentine et Léon étaient bien

Pendant qu'elle attendait les clients
Clémentine astiquait les cadrans
Et Léon tout au fond dans son beau tablier
Réparait les horloges du quartier

À côté du cahier, des tampons
Il y avait sur la caisse une corbeille de bonbons
Les coucous qui sonnaient du matin jusqu'au soir
Donnaient l'heure, la demie et le quart

Clémentine eut deux fils de Léon
Il fallut agrandir la maison
On reprit pour pas cher sa boutique au voisin
Jusque-là les affaires marchaient bien

Mais la guerre est venue tout défaire
Clémentine a pleuré pour ses fils et leur père
Les pendules ont cessé d'égayer la maison
Quand Léon s'en alla pour le front

Clémentine a vendu ses bijoux
Accrocché son alliance à son cou
Les enfants qui donnaient du travail à foison
Lui faisait oublier les saisons

Les horloges arrêtées sur une heure
Attendaient le retour du soldat de son cœur
Quand Léon apparut dans la porte un beau soir
Elle a dû se pincer pour y croire

Clémentine et Léon Barentin
Pour le jour de la St-Valentin
Ont rouvert la boutique et l'ont rebaptisée
On entendit les bruits des baisers

Il avait fabriqué de ses mains
Un carillon qui jouait sur un air de Chopin
Ils avaient invité pour l'inauguration
Les amis, les voisins
Les enfants, les cousins
La fanfare, et même tout l'orphéon
Clémentine et Léon

Canto Al Sol


Canto Al Sol
Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti
Performer(s): Raphael



Amanecer en la tierra
Que esta junto a la colina
Ver despertar una encina
Que en el dia reverdece
Con amor ya le agradece
El calor que el sol envia
Cantan su melancolia
Un llanto que no florece

Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol
Yo canto a la madre naturaleza

Amanecer en la tierra
Que esta junto a una colina
Cantando la golondrina
Dice que el frio se muere
Ella en sus alas no quiere
Tocar esta tierra fria
Cantan su melancolia
Un llanto que no florece

Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol
Yo canto a la madre naturaleza

Fiona And Shane


Fiona And Shane
Performer(s): Anne Byrne



The swaying pines of eventide
The blue sky up above
All voices hushed and silent now
Fiona dreams of love

Her heart is filled with grief and fear
Her dreams they are all in vain
She listens to the westwind's sigh
And dreams that it speaks to her of Shane

Chorus:
Fiona, oh Fiona
the westwind whispers plain
Fiona, oh Fiona
I bring love greetings from Shane

Shane is betrothed to another love
He tries to be true and kind
He'll not look in Fiona's pale green eyes
His love for her he just can't seem to hide

One day she went to the forest green
she could not longer bear to stay
in silence now she roams the woods
and the green pines sing all the way

Chorus

One day he went to the forest green
in search of wild deer and game
a young girl smiling with pale green eyes
starts to speak to young Shane

His heart remembered his love so true
he tried but he failed to explain
in silence now he roams the woods
and the westwinds speak to Shane

Last chorus:
Fiona, oh Fiona
her love was without a stain
Fiona, oh Fiona
oh you never love another, poor Shane
Fiona, Fiona, Fiona

The Cheater


The Cheater
Composer(s): John Krenski
First release by: Bob Kuban & The In-Men - 1966



Haven't you heard about the guy known as the Cheater
He'll take your girl and then he'll lie and he'll mistreat her
It seems every day now
You hear people say now

Look out for the Cheater
Make way for the fool-hearted clown
Look out for the Cheater
He's gonna build you up just to let you down

All of you girls had better stay inside your door now
He'll hurt you once, then turn around and hurt you some more now
While he's out betrayin'
You'll hear people sayin'

Look out for the Cheater
Make way for the fool-hearted clown
Look out for the Cheater
He's gonna build you up just to let you down

That cheater took my baby away from me
Yes, and now, I don't mean maybe
I'll get her back, just wait and see
Wait and see

One of these days he'll find a girl who knows all about him
She's gonna break his carefree heart and go on without him
And you'll hear thereafter
Above all the laughter

Tough luck for the Cheater
Too bad for the fool-hearted clown
Tough break for the Cheater
Who used to build you up just to let you down

Tough luck for the Cheater
Too bad for the fool-hearted clown
Tough break for the Cheater
Who used to build you up just to let you down

Canto A Tenerife


Canto A Tenerife
Composer(s): M. Angel Daroca
Performer(s): Raphael



Tenerife isla de amor y de ensueño
Paraiso lleno de luz y de encanto
De la miel de las palmeras
Hizo dios tu raza guanche
De la brisa de los mares
Y el fuego de los volcanes

Eres mi tierra adorada
Tierra de mil maravillas
Con tu teide y tus cañadas
Y el valle de la orudaba

Es mi canto un lamento
Si me acuerdo de lo lejos
Que me siento de tu suelo
Hay en mi alma desconsuelo
Y en la noche yo presiento
Que me muero sin tu cielo

Fio Maravilha


Fio Maravilha
Composer(s): Boris Bergman; Jorge Ben
Performer(s): Nicoletta



Ton palais était trois bouts de tôles
Deux planches de bois
Un paradis de bidonvilles
Qui s'appelle Favela
Sur les bidons on peut aussi
Faire de la musique
Et refaire l'Amérique

Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil
Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil
Fio Maravilha, elle était pauvre ta mère
Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre

Du ciel et de la terre
C'est la conspiration
Ton père a fait un pays
Qui soit l'enfant des chansons
De tes cheveux
On a fait trois cordes de guitare
Aux harmonies un peu bizarres

Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil
Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil
Fio Maravilha, elle était pauvre ta mère
Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre

Ta peau est aussi sombre
Que l'air des marinas
Car partout le soleil
S'est approché de toi
Bien sûr tu n'apprends rien à l'école
Car ton école c'est l'école des sambas

Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil
Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil
Fio Maravilha, elle était noire ta mère
Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre
Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil
Fio Maravilha ...
Fio Maravilha ...

Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee


Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee
((Adapted from: Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir (Michèle Torr) - 1978))
Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice - Jan De Vuyst
Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 1993



Ontroerd keek ik naar jou terwijl je naast me ligt
Ik streel het klamme haar uit jouw gezicht
Er speelt een dromerig glimlachje rond je mond
Ik wou dat ik wist wat je droomt

De eerste zachte lijntjes geëtst in jouw gelaat
Vertellen ons verhaal, dat van tederheid
De minder goede dagen die we deelden met elkaar
Sindsdien begrijp ik jou met één gebaar

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat
Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw
Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou

Soms betrap ik je wel terwijl je voor de spiegel zit
Dan lees ik jouw gedachten en de angst voor wat je ziet
Je hand strijkt door je haren, houden stil bij jouw gezicht
En dan opeens, door de juiste inval van het licht

Dan zie ik plots het meisje waarop ik stapel was
Onhandig en bedeesd, onze eerste kus
De jaren hebben jou veranderd in een mooie vrouw
Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat
Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw
Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat
Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat

Ik neem je vanavond mee
Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café

Canteiros


Canteiros Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Cecília Meireles Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando penso em você
Fecho os olhos de saudade
Tenho tido tanta coisa
Menos a felicidade
Correm os meus dedos longos
Em versos tristes que invento
Nem aquilo a que me entrego
Já me dá contentamento
Eu só queria ter, do mato
Um gosto de framboesa
Pra correr entre os canteiros
E esconder minha tristeza
Pode ser até manhã
Sendo claro feito dia
Mais nada do que me dizem
Me faz senti alegria
Ainda sou bem moço
Pra tanta tristeza
Deixemos de coisa
Cuidemos da vida
Senão chega a morte
Ou coisa parecida
E nos arrasta moço
Sem ter visto a vida

Fino Alla Fine Del Mondo


Fino Alla Fine Del Mondo
Composer(s): Alessandro Blasetti;
Max Minoia; Gianni Morandi
Performer(s): Gianni Morandi



Quando non c'e' più un perché
ne' una strada dove andare
e a letto solo
non ti addormenti più

E il silenzio fa rumore
mentre cerchi di capire
quale ragione
la porta via da te

E andresti fino all'inferno
cercando soltanto lei
fino alla fine del mondo
gridando perché la vuoi
e' che ho bisogno di te
e' che ho bisogno di te
sento il bisogno di te
di te
che esisti dentro me

Quando manca quel sorriso
e non riesci a ripartire
anche il passato
ormai non ti basta più

E andresti fino all'inferno
cercando soltanto lei
fino alla fine del mondo
gridando perché la vuoi
e' che ho bisogno di te
e' che ho bisogno di te
sento il bisogno di te
di te
che esisti dentro me

Fino alla fine del mondo
gridando perché la vuoi
e' che ho bisogno di te
e' che ho bisogno di te
sento il bisogno di te
di te
ed io ti cercherò
fino alla fine del mondo

Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir


Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir
((Dutch Version: Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee (Willy Sommers) - 1993))
Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice
First release by: Michèle Torr - 1978



Aujourd’hui ça fait six ans que nous sommes mariés
Tu m’as donné de beaux enfants tu sais
Et depuis ce p’tit bal ou l’on s’est rencontré
Je n’ai cesser de t’aimer
Mais ce soir j’ai envie de déposer mon tablier
De me faire belle pour toi comme par le passé
Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé
Ce soir laisse les de coté

Emmène moi danser ce soir
Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir
Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants
Comme cette nuit ou tu m’as pris mes dix sept ans
Emmène moi danser ce soir
Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir
Timidement dis-moi ’Michèle je t’aime amoureusement
Je suis restée la même

Il n’y a plus que tes amis et le football qui comptent pour toi
Et j’ai l’impression que tu ne vois plus en moi que le mère de tes enfants
Je ne te demande pas de m’offrir des fleurs tous les jours
Mais de faire de temps en temps un geste d’amour

Et ce soir je voudrais encore une fois te retrouver
Rentrer au petit jour et puis t’embrasser
Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé
Ce soir laisse-les de coté

Emmène moi danser ce soir
Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir
Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants
Comme cette nuit ou tu m’as pris mes dix sept ans
Emmène moi danser ce soir
Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir
Timidement dis-moi ’Michèle je t’aime amoureusement
Je suis restée la même

Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me)


Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me)
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha see what you mean to me?

Everyday I think of you
You're on my mind
Some things in the past
Are better left behind
Every night I dream of you
The images as clear as day
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight
'Cause I still love you
We've had our time apart
And I knew right from the start
I could never change
The way I feel about you baby
We can sit here all night long
And separate the right from the wrong
But love won't wait
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight
'Cause I still love you
Ooohh, still in love with you
You know I need you baby, to stand by me
Can't you see I need you, baby
Oooh, I'm still in love with you
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what you mean to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight
'Cause I still love you
I love you

Finnegan's Wake


Finnegan's Wake
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers;
and various other artists



Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin' Street
A gentleman, Irish, mighty odd
He had a brogue both rich and sweet
And to rise in the world he carried a hod
Now Tim had a sort of the tipplin' way
With a love of the whiskey he was born
And to help him on with his work each day
He'd a "drop of the cray-thur" every morn

Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!

One mornin' Tim was feelin' full
His head was heavy which made him shake
He fell from the ladder and broke his skull
And they carried him home his corpse to wake
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And laid him out upon the bed
A gallon of whiskey at his feet
And a barrel of porter at his head

His friends assembled at the wake
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch
First they brought in tay and cake
Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Biddy O'Brien began to bawl
"Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see?
"O Tim, mavourneen, why did you die?"
Arragh, hold your gob said Paddy McGhee!

Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
"O Biddy," says she, "You're wrong, I'm sure"
Biddy she gave her a belt in the gob
And left her sprawlin' on the floor
And then the war did soon engage
'Twas woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rage
And a row and a ruction soon began

Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head
When a noggin of whiskey flew at him
It missed, and falling on the bed
The liquor scattered over Tim!
The corpse revives! See how he raises!
Timothy rising from the bed
Says,"Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
Thanum an Dhul! Do you thunk I'm dead?"
