Carta Para Mi Desde El 2086


Carta Para Mi Desde El 2086
Performer(s): Fito Paez



Me puse la ropa
no supe que hacer
como Julio Sosa
cien años después

Arreglé mis cosas
fui hasta el cabaret
fui, cante Malena
no recuerdo bien

Y allí mismo en el mismo lugar
del amor voy tratando de estar
con mi corazón
ya pasaron las bombas
el hambre y el tren
aquí en Baires las cosas no marchan bien

Flor Da Idade


Flor Da Idade
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Vanessa Bumagny



A gente faz hora, faz fila na vila do meio-dia
Pra ver Maria
A gente almoça e só se coça e se roça e só se vicia
A porta dela não tem tramela
A janela é sem gelosia
Nem desconfia
Ai, a primeira festa, a primeira festa, o primeiro amor

Na hora certa, a casa aberta, o pijama aberta, a família
A armadilha
A mesa posta de peixe, deixe um cheirinho da sua filha
Ela vive parada no sucesso do rádio de pilha
Que maravilha
Ai, o primeiro copo, o primeiro copo, o primeiro amor

Vê passar ela, como dança, balança, avança e recua
A gente sua
A roupa suja de cuja se lava no meio da rua
Despudorada, dada, à danada agrada andar seminua
E continua
Ai, a primeira dama, o primeiro drama, o primeiro amor

Carlos amava Dora que amava Lia que amava Léa que amava Paulo
Que amava Juca que amava Dora que amava Carlos que amava Dora
Que amava Rita que amava Dito que amava Rita que amava Dito que amava Rita que amava
Carlos amava Dora que amava Pedro que amava tanto que amava
a filha que amava Carlos que amava Dora que amava toda a quadrilha

The Drifter


The Drifter
Composer(s): Paul Williams - Roger Nichols
Performer(s): Steve Lawrence



Once again
There's a feeling inside of me
Nothing new
I've felt it before
Like the voice of hunger
Inside of me crying out
There's got to be more

I'll put my faith
In the arms of an open road
And you can come along
If you choose

'Cause there's places
That I've never been to
Sunsets to be ridden into
Not a lot I can do
But give in to the drifter
There's a drifter in me

Though I've tried it
I'm just not a settler
And nine to five
Don't make it with me
Why deny it
It makes me feel better
To come alive
And prove that I'm free

I wear no chains
And I carry no heavy load
So much to gain
And nothing to lose

'Cause there's places
That I've never been to
Sunsets to be ridden into
Not a lot I can do
But give in to the drifter
There's a drifter in me

Carta De Un León A Otro


Carta De Un León A Otro Composer(s): Chico Novarro Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Lissette; Julia Zenko



Perdón, hermano mio, si te digo
que ganas de escribirte no he tenido
No se si es el encierro
no se si es la comida
o el tiempo que ya llevo
en esta vida

Lo cierto es que el zoológico deprime
y el mal no se redime con cariño
si no es por esos niños
que acercan su alegria
sería más amargo, todavía

A ti te irá mejor, espero
viajando por el mundo entero
aunque el domador, según me cuentas
te obligue a trabajar mas de la cuenta
Tu tienes que entender, hermano
que el alma tiene de villano
al no poder mandar a quien quisieran
descartan su poder sobre las fieras
Muchos humanos, son importantes
silla mediante, látigo en mano

Pero volviendo a mí, nada ha cambiado
aqui desde que fuimos separados
hay algo, sin embargo
que noto entre la gente
parece que miraran diferente

Sus ojos han perdido algún destello
como si fueran ellos los cautivos
yo se lo que te digo
apuesta lo que quieras
que afuera tienen miles
de problemas

Caimos en la selva, hermano
y mira en que piadosas manos
su aire está viciado de humo y muerte
y quién anticipar
puede su suerte
Volver a la naturaleza
sería su mayor riqueza
allí podrán amarse libremente
y no hay ningún zoológico de gente

Ciudate hermano, yo no se cuando
Pero ese dia, viene llegando

The Dream I Had Last Night


The Dream I Had Last Night
Composer(s): Cardigan - Brennan - Story



Have you ever discovered the reason why
The moment you close your sleepy eye
there's something always comes and sets you dreaming
And you think you're the son of a millionaire
And you're the sole surviving heir
And how to spend his money you are scheming
Last night I fell asleep upon the hay pile
And in the mean-while
This hay pile went floating thru the air
To a place I don't know where
But I saw a world of wonders there

Did you ever wake up with a funny grin
And sit with your hands up on your chin
and wish that you were back again in Dream land
In that wonderful land when you're in so strong
Where all is right and nothing's wrong
And everybody's giving you the glad hand
When I'm asleep I like to dream of money
Now ain't it funny how money will follow you it seems
When you're wrap'd in idle dreams
But it leaves you when the morning beams

I was the guest of honor of a millionaire
Kings were there a swell affair
Rulers of every land were waiting in a row to hand me all their dough
All of a sudden things began to fade away
And what I saw gave me an awful fright
I was all alone in swimmin' with a hundred thousand women
That's the dream I had last night.

I was the guest of honor of a millionaire
Kings were there a swell affair
Rulers of every land were waiting in a row to hand me all their dough
All of a sudden things began to fade away
And what I saw gave me an awful fright
I was perched upon a steeple throwing money to the people
That's the dream I had last night

Carta Ao Tom 74


Carta Ao Tom 74 Composer(s): Vinícius de Moraes - Toquinho Performer(s): Vinícius de Moraes and multiple other artists



Rua Nascimento Silva cento e sete
Você ensinando pra Elizeth
As canções de cancão,do amor demais
Ipanema era só felicidade

Era como se o amor doesse em paz
Nossa famosa garota
Nem sabia a que ponto a cidade turvaria
Esse rio de amor que se perdeu
Mesmo a tristeza da gente era mais bela

E além disso se via da janela
Um cantinho do céu e o Redentor
É meu amigo só resta uma certeza
É preciso acabar com essa tristeza
É preciso inventar de novo o amor

Rua Nascimento Silva cento e sete
Eu saio correndo do pivete
Tentando alcançar o elevador
Minha janela não passa de um quadrado

A gente só vê Sérgio Dourado
Onde antes se via o Redentor
É meu amigo só resta uma certeza
É preciso acabar com a natureza
É melhor lotear o nosso amor

Floobie Doobie Doo


Floobie Doobie Doo
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



As I walked down to Bishop Street
I met a girl with a smile so sweet
Now she was young and pretty, too
And on a string, she walked
With a thing called a Floobie Doobie Doo

Oh, a Floobie Doobie Doo
Now what is that?
It ain't no dog and it ain't no cat
It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue
I never seen such a thing
As a thing called a Floobie Doobie Doo

It had one tooth and five purple toes
Sixteen elbows and a twelve foot nose
You'll never see one in the zoo
I mean a thing like a thing
On a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo

I told that girl "Lemme take you home ...
And maybe we can be alone" (Ha - ha, Ha - ha)
She said, "I'd love to go home with you
But I'd have to bring my thing
On a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo"

Well, I took her home that very night
We talked a while and I dimmed the light
She cuddled close and the next thing I knew
Just as soon as it seen us
In between us jumped the Floobie Doobie Doo!

It stayed all night
It stayed all year
I never got to hold her near
I said "Sweet Baby, I wanna cling to you
But you wanna cling to a thing
On a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo"

Oh, a Floobie Doobie Doo
Now what is that?
It ain't no dog, it ain't no cow and it ain't no cat
It's nine feet tall with eyes of blue
You just can't swing with a thing
On a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo

Well, she cried a cry
She wiped her eye
She said, "Farewell, so long, goodbye
For though I love you, yes I do
I can't reveal the love that
I feel for the Floobie Doobie Doo!"

I never see her anymore
She never knocks upon my door
And every night alone and blue
I sit and I swing about a string on a thing
I mean I sit and I think about a swing on a thing
I mean I sit and I sing about a thing
On a string called a Floobie Doobie Doo!

Dream (Shirley Temple)


Dream
Composer(s): Walter Bullock - Samuel Pokrass
Performer(s): Shirley Temple



Your highness please forgive me
But something has gone amiss
There is an angry woman outside
To report a stolen kiss

Tell her she must go away
Come around some other day
I have told her, but she won't
You must see her, if you don't
She'll scream her head off
Tell her to hush
She won't be hushed
Then tell her to shush
I'm afraid she won't be shushed

I won't be shushed, I won't be hushed
I know my rights, I know the law
And I know also what I saw
What did you see
I saw him
You saw who, I mean whom
I saw that lad steal a kiss
From that shameless little miss

Don't be fooled by all their shyness
Their a wicked pair your highness
There's a law I understand
Against kissing in this land
There is a law that reads like this
No one is to steal a kiss

Ah but Princess I've a feeling
This is not a case of stealing
Silence fool, I know the law
What I say I saw I saw
What I saw
She's on a see-saw
I saw you saw he saw she saw
On a see saw on a see saw
I saw you saw he saw she saw

What she tells us may be true
And if it is what can we do
If you ask me we should listen
To the lad who did the kissin'

I object t'would not be wise
He would only tell you lies
Let him speak, come lad this way
Now then what have you to say

Please your highness, I confess
When I saw such loveliness
It was too much to resist
I just thought she should be kissed
So I kissed her, kissed her twice
It was very very nice
So he kissed her, kissed her twice
It was very very nice

There you see, he broke the law
What I say I saw I saw
Please don't start all that again
But he stole a kiss that's plain
Yes it looks as if its true
And I'll have to punish you

No please, let me say a word
It is not the way you heard
Please, he did not steal a kiss
I gave it to him, just like this

There you see, I had a feeling
This was not a case of stealing
I'm not sure, its not quite plain
Could I see that kiss again

You were right, I have a feeling
This was not a case of stealing
Right the law has been abused
This lad has falsely been accused
He is hers and she is his'n
That old witch should go to prison

Your a very wicked woman
Princess I am only human
Listen to the old grand mommy
Your a nasty peeping tommy

Banish her from here forever
Never show your face here never
Banish her from here forever
Never show your face here never
What I say I saw I saw
I know my rights, I know the law

Come, and sit beside me here
Your kiss has made things very clear
Thank you Princess
Don't thank me
It was that kiss that set you free

Now we're through with this arrangement
Let us have some entertainment
Bring the dancers bring the singers
Bring the good old welting ringers

The new ballerina, she pleases you
She's a very good dancer
She looks familiar too!

Carta A New York


Carta A New York
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Querido New York tu vas a perdonar lo que voy a decir
existe un lugar tan lejano de ti que no puedo olvidar
y salgo a caminar como una sombra que va sola en el viento
es mi corazón, amarrado está a un viejo puerto
Perdóname New York
Perdona esta canción
que me hace recordar...

Veo la ciudad desde un alto balcón casi en el cielo
Puedo divisar en el fondo de mí un sentimiento
El que me hace volar mas allá del neón y del cemento
El que me hace soñar con mi vieja ciudad de mar y cerro
Perdóname New York
Perdona esta canción
que me hace recordar...

Querido New York mis huesos y mi voz están contigo
Y mi corazón alejándose va, no está conmigo
Perdóname New York
Perdona esta canción
que me hace recordar

Perdóname New York
Perdona esta canción
Que me hace recordar...

Floating Down The River ('Cause It's Moonlight Now In Dixieland)


Floating Down The River
('Cause It's Moonlight Now In Dixieland)
Composer(s): Roger Lewis; James White



Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, Sue
Here comes that old sidewheeler
Down the river;
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, do
A good time for me and you
Now the boat is stoppin', see the gang plank droppin'
Hear the music poppin', all the darkies hoppin'
Beautiful night time, this is the right time
Come with me

Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look there, Sue
Who's that I see a hailin'
From the railin'
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look! it's Lou
She's going to join us, too
You must hurry Susan, think of time you're losin'
Don't you be refusin', good time I am choosin'
I'm goin' to take you, I'm goin' to make you
Come with me

Floatin' down the river, floatin' down the river
In the evenin' by the bright moonlight
These are good times that are ne'er forgotten
When the shores are snowy white with cotton
To the banjos strummin', we will all be hummin'
Honey, let me take you by the hand
I'm goin', I'm goin'
Floatin' down the river, floatin' down the river
'Cause it's moonlight now in Dixieland

Down And Out Blues


Down And Out Blues
Composer(s): Sam Mayo
Performer(s): Jimmy Messene; Lem Fowler



Got the blues, got the blues
I’ve got a lonesome down and out blues

When you’re tired, lonesome
Walking around the town
And the rain comes uninvited in your shoes
What are you going to say
What are you going to do
Sing the down and out blues

All you possess in this great big world
Is an appetite that you’re trying your best to lose
What are you going to say
What are you going to do
Sing the down and out blues

When your dreams and schemes have gone astray
And your pals and gals have left you on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone

What can you do, where can you go to
Beggars cannot choose
Tired, lonesome
Walking around the town
Singing the down and out blues

When your dreams and schemes have gone astray
And your pals and gals have left you on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone

What can you do, where can you go to
Beggars, beggars cannot choose
Tired, lonesome
Walking around the town
Singing the down and out blues
Singing the down and out blues

Carta A Mis Amigos


Carta A Mis Amigos Composer(s): Victor Heredia Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Hoy vuelvo a recordar
la dulce adolescencia
los senderos perdidos
de mi pueblo pequeño
Vuelvo a sentir las voces
de mis viejos amigos
que se han quedado lejos
en un rincón del tiempo
Siento en la piel el viento
y el sol de los domingos
cuando nos encontrábamos
a la orilla del río
Eran las ilusiones como globos etéreos
y una aventura hermosa
la de vivir la vida
pero la vida es puro
inmenso cielo abierto
y hubo de separarnos por distintos caminos
Les escribo esta carta
desde un lugar cualquiera
desde un pueblo cualquiera
que se parece al nuestro
desde un bar que podría
ser nuestro bar de siempre
desde un rincón del alma
amigos les escribo...
Porque quiero que sepan
que siempre están conmigo
en el cordaje tosco de mi pobre guitarra
cabalgando en el viento
de una ciudad cualquiera
que siempre están conmigo
mis amigos...

Every story has to be about something, I suppose

at the doors of my heart again
I can feel love thump

Everybody needs someone they can cling to
now and then
no more defense, no more pretense
no reasons to explain it

feel love thump as it tears you apart
feel blood pump as the worrying starts
you can feel love thumping
at the doors of your heart again
at the doors of your heart again
you can feel love thump
bom-bom be bom-bom

Quisiera que al llegar
esta carta a tu hogar
la recibieras y te sientas feliz
como cuando éramos dueños de la vida
frente a un copo de maíz
Quisiera que también

lleva mi corazón doblado en dos por dos
como un duelo sin consuelo
por no haberme dado cuenta
de este amor
María Cristina
dulce hermana mía
Es que el tiempo corre mucho
no se puede detener
y hoy te has hecho una mujer
y peleas por la vida
en la lucha del amor
dulce pájaro guerreando en el dolor
Sólo quiero decir
que está bien así
que es como debe ser
y tu sangre es un torrente entre la gente
y orgulloso estoy de verte amanecer
María Cristina

Es que el tiempo corre mucho
no se puede detener
y hoy te has hecho una mujer
y peleas por la vida

Flipper
Composer(s): Dunham; Henry Vars
Performer(s): Matthew Sweet



They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No-one you see, is smarter than he
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea
Ever so kind and gentle is he
Tricks he will do when children appear
And how they laugh when he's near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No-one you see, is smarter than he
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder
Flying there-under, under the sea!

The Door Is Still Open To My Heart


The Door Is Still Open To My Heart
Performer(s): Dean Martin



(The door is still open to my heart)
I must confess that I cry from loneliness
And the door is still open to my heart

You are to me like honey is to the bee
And the door is still open to my heart
I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better then to hold it inside
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart

(I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better than to hold it inside)
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart
And the door is still open to my heart

The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me
But she's out of reach

Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called

Yeah, right
Woo!

Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room

Yeah, woo
Ride
Ride on
Weooooo!
Wawa, eooo!
Oooo, owa, owaaa!
Wa, waaaaea!
Ooo, wa, wa, wa, wa, waa!

Flip Flop And Fly


Flip Flop And Fly
Composer(s): Chuck Calhoun; Lou Willie Turner
Performer(s): Big Joe Turner;
and various other artists



When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
If the blues ever take me gonna rock right away from here

Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
I call my baby and tell him I'm on my way back home

Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye

Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
He's so skinny he can mambo in a payphone booth

Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
'Til the feeling over comes me with a feelin' in my head like wine

Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye
