Casi, Casi (Victor Jara)


Casi, Casi
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Quilapayún



Casi casi me quisiste
casi te he querido yo
no llores negra
no llores, no
Si no es por el casi, casi
casi me caso con vos
no llores negra
no llores, no

El pañuelo que me diste
rama en rama se quedo
no llores negra
no llores, no
Vino un fuerte remolino
y todo se llevo
no llores negra
no llores, no

Botellita dibujada
llenita de agua de olor
no llores negra
no llores, no
El quererte no era nada
el dejarte era un dolor
no llores negra
no llores, no

Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart


Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart
Composer(s): Jack Clement
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



From the back door of your life you swept me out dear
In the breadline of your dreams I lost my place
At the table of your love I got the brush off
At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race

I've been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theatre of your love I lost my part
And now you say you've got me out of your conscience
I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

In the garbage disposal of your dreams I've been ground up dear
On the river of your plans I'm up the creek
Up the elevator of your future I've been shafted
On the calendar of your events I'm last week

I've been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theatre of your love I lost my part
And now you say you've got me out of your conscience
I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

Yo vivo de mis sueños
Son grandes y pequeños
Se llevan mi soledad
Me prestan su libertad
Y no se cansan jamás
De volar y volar
Por mi

Los sueños son como cristal
Porque dejan pasar la luz del sol y las estrellas
Si tuvieras valor
Me sabrías amar

Yo soy la luna llena
La voz de la sirena
Que suena por donde vas
Que canta por no llorar
Si la quisieras oír
No podrías huir de mi

Lo sueños como cristal
Por que dejan pasar la luz del sol y las estrellas
Pero son mi obsesión son como una prisión

Los sueños son como cristal
Porque dejan pasar la luz del sol y las estrellas
Y no saben decir
Ni que no ni que si
A mi amor

Casi, Casi (Raphael)


Casi, Casi Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael



Yo tengo casi, casi la seguridad
Que de ti muy pronto, muy pronto me voy a enamorar
Yo tengo casi, casi que decirte ya
Que de estar contigo, contigo te quiero de verdad
Y sin saber si me quieres un poco
Yo vivo para ti, solo para ti
Y sin saber si me gustan tus besos
Los quiero para mi, solo para mi

Yo tengo casi, casi la seguridad
Que tu amor mañana, mañana lo puedo conquistar
Y tu eras casi, casi solo una amistad
Pero ya contigo, contigo me tengo que casar

Fluid Conduction


Fluid Conduction
Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring; Anouk



I've been sleepin' all day
Slummin' all night in a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me out of your life
The night I killed your patience

Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction

It was max, the king of facts
He made me steal for your number
I promised not to tell on him
But you know me, I'm a sucker

Always tried to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
I need you more than anything
Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction
Your kiss, I miss your tears your fingertips my satisfaction
I swear that I could thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction

En un intento simple
este hombre se confiesa
enamorado en honor
de un sola mujer
y va hilvanando ilusión
con realidad

En este adagio al amor
yo quisiera dejarte
mi obra maestra
mi sinfonía
o mi pequeña canción
que no llega a poesía
que te baste mi voz

Mi sol que vuela en fiebre
tu luna se descalza
sumérgeme en tu piel
que el vértigo me hace bien
guarece tu temporal
al lado mío

En un intento simple
este hombre se confiesa
enamorado en honor
de un sola mujer
y va hilvanando ilusión
con realidad
sumérgeme en tu piel
que el vértigo me hace bien
guarece tu temporal
al lado mío...

Cash


Cash ((Adapted from: Patches (Chairmen of the Board) - 1970)) ((Portuguese Version: Marvin (Titãs) - 1984)) Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar - General Johnson - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1971



Je suis né dans le dix-neuvième
Un arrondissement de Paris
Pas comme les autres
Presque maudit
J'attendis que mon frère se marie
Pour avoir sa chambre et son lit
Pourtant, j'étais le dernier
Le cadet, le chéri

Papa faisait après dîner
Le récit de sa journée
Maman parlait des factures
Des problèmes et du futur
Moi, j'attendais le dessert
Sans penser à la vie chère

Mais ils ont tout fait
Pour que mon enfance
Soit le reflet de l'insouciance
Je les embrasse et leur dit "merci"
Pour m'avoir évité une vie à crédit
Car
Cash
Ils ont toujours payé cash
Leurs querelles et leurs amours
Sont à eux et pour toujours

Papa est mort aujourd'hui
Mais il sait que je pense à lui
Que Maman ne manquera de rien
Car leur leçon m'a fait du bien

J'ai une vie de vagabond
Mais mon cœur n'en est que bon
Et partout où m'entraîne ma vie
Je refuse l'amour à crédit
Je paye cash mes amitiés
Même si en retour je n'ai plus qu'à pleurer
Car
Cash
Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash
Mes querelles et mes amours
Sont à moi et pour toujours

J'ai vingt-neuf ans maintenant
Et je chante depuis plus de dix ans
Ma carrière est en dent de scie
Des succès parfois l'oubli
Mais je n'ai rien à me reprocher
Car j'ai toujours chanté avec sincérité

La paix est dans mon esprit
J'apprends à aimer la vie
Mes enfants et mes amis
Les fleurs, les chiens me l'on dit
Qu'un monde meilleur va venir
Où Papa pourrait revenir
Et partout où m'entraîne ma vie
Je refuse l'amour à crédit
Je paye cash mes amitiés
Même si en retour je n'ai plus qu'à pleurer
Car
Cash
J'ai toujours payé cash
Mes querelles et mes amours
Sont à moi et pour toujours

Cash
Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash
Mes querelles et mes amours
Sont à moi et pour toujours

Cash
Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash
Mes querelles et mes amours
Sont à moi et pour toujours

Tous les enfants de la Terre
Sont des poètes aux yeux clairs
C'est la promesse de l'aube
Sur les forêts d'émeraude
Ils ont tous dans le regard
Deux milles ans de mémoire d'espoir

Enfants d'amour et d'avenir
Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs
Tant de choses à dire
Et pour les temps qui viennent
Leurs sourires nous entraînent

Dans le secret de leurs mains
Coule une histoire un chemin
Même quand leur mère les embrasse
Elle sait bien que le temps passe
Ils sont venus de la nuit
Pour éclairer un jour la vie

Enfants d'amour et d'avenir
Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs
Tant de choses à dire
Et pour les temps qui viennent
Leurs sourires nous entraînent

Enfants d'amour et d'avenir
Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs
Tant de choses à dire
Et pour les temps qui viennent
Leurs sourires nous entraînent
Nous entraînent

Flowers On The Wall


Flowers On The Wall
Composer(s): Lewis DeWitt
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers;
The New Christy Minstrels



I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun

Chorus
Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time

Chorus

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Chorus

Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

The End Of Our Road


The End Of Our Road
Composer(s): Roger Penzabene - Barrett Strong - Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): Marvin Gaye
and multiple other artists



Gotta get away from you
Fast as I can
Too much for me baby
More than my heart can stand
Like a kid behind the wheel
You been reckless with my heart
If I stay around you'll surely tear it all apart
The road's got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the show down
So let me give you the low down
We've come to the end of our road

Just think about all those nights
You left me at home lonely
You only did it cause you knew
I love you only
Runnin' around with every girl in town
I'm tellin' you boy
No longer will I be your clown
Sayin' the road's got to end somewhere
Sayin' every road has got to end somewhere
Sick and tired of your stuff
Said enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road

Ain't no sense in your beggin' and pleadin'
Talkin' bout I'm not the one that you're needin'
Said I done had my fill of you
Hurt me so through the years
I've done sure enough run out of tears
Telling you I couldn't cry if I wanted to
Said the road's got to end somewhere
Well now every road has got to end somewhere
Time and again I begged you to slow down
So I'm givin' you the low down
We've come to the end of our road

Casey Jones (Grateful Dead)


Casey Jones Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Jerry Garcia First release by: Grateful Dead - 1970



Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind

This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen to
At a quarter to ten you know it's travlin' again

Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind

Trouble ahead, lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead
Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two is
On the wrong track and headed for you

Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind

Trouble with you is the trouble with me
Got two good eyes but you still don't see
Come round the bend, you know it's the end
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall


Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel



Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion

So, I'll continue to continue
To pretend
That my life will never end
And that flowers never bend with the rainfall

The mirror on my wall casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection
I am blinded by the light
Of God and Truth and Right
And I wander in the night without direction

(refrain)

It's no matter if you're born to play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow
And so my fantasy becomes reality
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow

(refrain)

Soldato Universale


Soldato Universale
((Adapted from: The Universal Soldier (Buffy Sainte-Marie) - 1964))
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - Herbert Pagani
Performer(s): Claus - 1966

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - Je T'aime (Sheila)



È bianco, è nero, è biondo, è bruno
Combatte con le atomiche e le spade
Ha più di quarant’anni
e ne ha solo diciannove
combatte da quando è nato l’uomo

È ateo, indu, cattolico, ebreo
buddista, metodista, puritano
Capisce di far male
fa solo il suo dovere
uccide me per te amico mio

E combatte per il Canada, combatte per la Francia
combatte per gli U.S.A.
E combatte per la Russia
e combatte per la Cina
lui dice "Per la pace universale"

Non chiede per chi muore lui crede che uccidendo
la guerra finalmente finirà
Ed è lui che deve dire
chi vivrà e chi morirà
e non legge mai le scritte lì sui muri

Ma Hitler senza lui non avrebbe fatto tanto
Cesare sarebbe stato solo
Ed è lui che dà il suo corpo
come un arma per la guerra
senza lui queste stragi finiranno

È soldato universale ed è solo colpa sua
gli ordini non vengon più dall’alto
Vengon da noi, da voi, da me, da te
e fratelli non capite
Così la guerra non finisce più

Casetta In Canadà


Casetta In Canadà Composer(s): Vittorio Mascheroni - Mario Panzeri First release by: Carla Boni, Gino Latilla, Duo Fasano - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1957 - Le Ranch De Maria (Dalida) 1964 - TV - Truut (De Strangers)



Quando Martin vedete solo per la città
forse voi penserete dove girando va
Solo, senza una meta
Solo... ma c'è un perché

Aveva una casetta piccolina in Canadà
con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà
e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là
dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!

Ma un giorno, per dispetto, Pinco Panco l'incendiò
e a piedi poveretto senza casa lui restò
"Allora cosa fece?" - Voi tutti chiederete
Ma questa è la sorpresa che in segreto vi dirò

Lui fece un'altra casa piccolina in Canadà
con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà
e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là
dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!

E tante e tante case lui rifece ma, però
quel tale Pinco Panco tutte quante le incendiò
Allora cosa fece?
Voi tutti lo sapete!

Flowers In The Rain


Flowers In The Rain
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move;
Joe Bourne; Nancy Sinatra



Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
and yellow roses gathered all around me
the time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eider down

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool

So I lay upon my side with all the windows opened wide
Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking
Hoping not to make a sound I pushed my bed into the grounds
In time to catch the sight that I was seeking

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool

If this perfect pleasure has the key
Then this is how it has to be
If my pillow's getting wet
I don't see that it matters much to me

I heard the flowers in the breeze make conversation with the trees
Believed to leave reality behind me
With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed
In a world of fantasy you'll find me

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool

Performer(s): Sheila - 1966

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - Soldato Universale (Claus)



Je t’aime pour ton sourire, je t’aime pour ta douceur
Je t’aime pour tout ce qui est dans ton cœur
Pour le bras que tu offres et la main que tu tends
Et pour l’amour que tu portes aux enfants

Je t’aime pour ta façon de partager ton pain
Avec celui qui souffre de la faim
De donner ton manteau au pauvre qui a froid
Et d’abriter l’étranger sous ton toit

Je t’aime parce que tu sais trouver, lorsqu’il est dans l’ennui
Les mots qu’il faut pour aider un ami
Je t’aime pour ton dédain des gens qui se croient tout puissants
Ton mépris des honneurs et de l’argent

Je t’aime parce que tu ne seras jamais vraiment heureux
Tant qu’il y aura sur Terre des miséreux
Et parce que tu essaies, rien qu’avec tes deux mains
De transformer le monde de demain

Je t’aime parce que tu voudrais tant que sonnent par milliers
Les cloches des églises du monde entier
Que tu crois au bonheur qu’elles peuvent t’apporter
Que rien ne te décourage jamais

Je t’aime parce que tu sais rêver, loin des réalités
En suivant toujours, toujours ton idée
Et que tes rêves les plus beaux, ce sont les miens aussi
Nous allons les poursuivre tous les deux chaque jour de notre vie

Caserne


Caserne Composer(s): Guy Thomas - Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour
Ici tout est réglementaire
Pas un caillou n'est de travers
Murs en béton chevaux de frise
Y'a que les barbelés qui frisent

En rang par trois pas cadencé
Sous l'oeil attendri des bouchers
On maquignonne il faudrait voir
Pour les augustes abattoirs
Ici le monde est chamboulé
Les assassins sont galonnés
Partout la crasse et la bêtise
Ces deux vertus de l'entreprise
Partout la raison du plus fort
Sous le badigeon tricolore

Je reste à toi ma solitude
Dans le troupeau des habitudes
Et jusque dans le désarroi
Quand le poète est aux abois
Pour tous les moutons qui consentent
Je suis la rage impénitente
Seul au milieu de la débine
C'est à moi seul que je jaspine
Holà de la philanthropille
Y'a des consciences qui roupillent

Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour...

Flowers For Madame


Flowers For Madame
Composer(s): Murray Mencher;
Charles Newman; Charles Tobias
Performer(s): Bob Crosby



Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And though they may be beautiful to see
They could never be as beautiful as you

Every tender rose
May tell you what I'm trying to disclose
So won't you press them closely to your heart
That they may impart the love I hold for you

These precious moments when we meet
Are like a glorious bouquet
But they would be complete
If you gave me the right to say, "I adore you"

Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And in my heart I'm hoping that perchance
They will start romance, these flowers for Madame
