Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne
Whoa-ho-ho here I am on my knees again
I'll do anything just to make it right
Say you'll understand, oh I know you can
C'mon Marianne

No matter what people say
it didn't happen that way
She was a passing fling
and not a permanent thing
Say you'll understand, oh I know you can
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Say you can understand
My Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne

Well now your big brown eyes are all full of tears
From the bitterness of my cheatin' years
So I hang my head, wish that I was dead
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Say you can understand
My Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
C'mon Marianne (baby)
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne

Rey Por Un Día


Rey Por Un Día
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Dulces sueños vamos a tener
mañana serás Rey por un día
Todo lo que quieras podrás ser
Suave luna acompáñalo
guía su peregrina tarea
como si de pronto
fuera Rey, Rey por un día

Que su almita azul
pacifique al hombre de esta Tierra
Pan caliente y luz
para ver la esencia de las cosas
en el sueño de los justos...

Cuando el sol
se esconda una vez más
cuando tu corazón sienta fatiga
piensa en todo lo que un Rey
puede hacer
en un día

Que su almita azul
pacifique al hombre de esta Tierra
Pan caliente y luz
para ver la esencia de las cosas
en el sueño de los justos...

Cuando el sol
se esconda una vez más
cuando tu corazón sienta fatiga
piensa en todo lo que un Rey
puede hacer
en un día

- Buenas noches Juan
- Buenas noches papá

The Sand And The Sea


The Sand And The Sea
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me
There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea
And it cries "Come to me, come to me"

As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries "Come to me, come to me"

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above

Rey Mago De Las Nubes


Rey Mago De Las Nubes
Composer(s): León Gieco; Ricardo Vilca
Performer(s): León Gieco



Los chicos chiquititos del pueblo aquel
sólo quieren pan, agua y juguetes
Rey mago de las nubes que se van hacia otros lugaaaares
Hablan bajito, sonríen al suelo y se persignan por agua del cielo
Un mundo de viento con las campanas sonando en el pueblo

Porque tienen el sol, porque tienen la estrella
llevan el ángel de la vida eteeerna
Porque quieren juntar almas en soledad
cruzan las nubes hacia la altuuuuuuura

Por estar tan abierta la montaña lejos está el río con el agua
cualquier primavera se hace esperar para poder dar flores
El aire que se agita tras el vuelo de almas que pasan como sueños
bendice la voz, bendice rezos de algún nacimiento

Porque tienen el sol, porque tienen la estrella
llevan el ángel de la vida eterna
Porque quieren junfar las almas en soledad
cruzan las nubes hacia la altura

Los chicos chiquititos del pueblo aquel....
Los chicos chiquititos del purblo aquel.....

The Same Old Moon


The Same Old Moon
Composer(s): Ervin Drake - Al Frisch
Performer(s): Jerry Vale



The same old moon is high above
The same old moon that brought us love
No man-made moon can take his place in outer space
When I'm with you at close of day the same old moon shows us the way

No mere machine can cast the spell we know so well
Rockets may fly and conquer the sky
But science can't bring us bliss
Time will revolve but they'll never solve the mystery of a kiss

When our hearts meet and love's begun
Synthetic stars can't make us one
Who lights our love from up above
The same old moon

Rockets may fly and conquer the sky
But science can't bring us bliss
Time will revolve but they'll never solve the mystery of a kiss

When our hearts meet and love's begun
Synthetic stars can't make us one
Who lights our love from up above the same old moon
The same old moon

C'mon Everybody


C'mon Everybody - 1958 Composer(s): Eddie Cochran; Jerry Capehart First release by: Eddie Cochran - 1958 Covered by various other artists French Titles: 1963 - Comment Vas-Tu Mentir? 1974 - Venez Tous Avec Moi



Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Ooo C'mon everybody

Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be shakin' from my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will.
Ooo C'mon everybody

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew Who cares
C'mon everybody

Rey De Los Desposeídos

Rey De Los Desposeídos
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



(Alguna vez se han sentido traicionados
y no me refiero por la clase política
me refiero traicionado por un amor
esta es la historia de una traición)

Nos conocimos en carnaval
baile de enmascarados
y cuando menos pensábamos
mi vida estaba entre tus manos
y un amor
que crece, crece como las plantas
fuerte como el sol
denuncia expropiación
de mi único corazón
me queda tu antifaz
mi trono y un disfraz

Yo soy el rey, soy el señor
(de los desposeídos)
y bailo al compás
con muchos más
(rotos corazones)
me has convertido en el rey
(de los desposeídos)

El amor es como un trabajo
que a veces paga el sueldo mas bajo
El amor es como el mar
o aprendes a nadar
o te hundes sin pensar
que avisa que ha llegado la hora
de dar la promoción
de bufón a majestad
monarca de la soledad
soberano del dolor
desde esta noche soy

Yo soy el rey, soy el señor
(de los desposeídos)
y bailo al compás
con muchos más
(rotos corazones)
me has convertido en el rey

señor (de los desposeídos)
y bailo al compás
con muchos más
(rotos corazones)
me has convertido en el rey
(de los desposeídos)

Yo soy el rey, yo soy el rey
(de los desposeídos)
en una noche de carnaval
Yo soy el rey, yo soy el rey
(de los desposeídos)
Yo soy el rey

The Same Old Me


The Same Old Me
Composer(s): Fuzzy Owen
Performer(s): Johnny Bush; Ray Price



With the same two arms still missin' you
And the same old heart still bein' true
And the same two lips that still belong to you
And the same old me keeps lovin' you

When I saw you with your new love toda-ay
It hurt me in an old, familiar way
And I know there's nothin' I can do-oo
But I'll always be here waitin' just for you

With the same two arms still missin' you
And the same old heart still bein' true
And the same two lips that still belong to you
And the same old me keeps lovin' you

I've tried ev'rything to drive you from my heart
But the mem'ry of you makes me feel so blue
And with ev'ry heartbeat I can feel the teardrops start
So you'll always find me waitin' here for you

With the same two arms still missin' you
And the same old heart still bein' true
And the same two lips that still belong to you
And the same old me keeps lovin' you

Hé! Venez tous avec moi

Prenons les filles sans l'avis des maris
Hou! Venez tous avec moi

Oui, les filles sont belles
Les cigarettes sont bien roulées

Ouais, prenez vos guitares
Et un peu de bière
Pour faire l'amour
L'endroit est rêvé
Hou! Venez tous avec moi
Venez tous avec moi

Venez tous avec moi
Ce soir, je sens la bagarre
Que ce soit contre les flics
Ou bien contre la bande du square
Ouais, avec nos motos, au petit matin
Nous ferons la course avec le train
Qui ose?

Revolution Rock


Revolution Rock
Composer(s): Jackie Edwards;
Mick Jones; D. Ray; Joe Strummer
Performer(s): The Clash;
and various other artists



Revolution rock, it is a brand new rock
A bad, bad rock, this here revolution rock

Careful how you move, Mac, you dig me in me back
An' I'm so pilled up that I rattle
I have got the sharpeest knife, so I cut the biggest slice
But I have no time to do battle

Everybody smash up your seats and rock to this
Brand new beat
This here music mash up the nation
This here music cause a sensation
Tell your ma, tell your pa everything's gonna be all right
Can't you feel it?
Don't ignore it
Gonna be Arl-right

Revolution rock, I am in a state of shock
So bad, bad rock, this here revolution rock

Careful how you slide, Clyde, all you did was glide
And you poured your beer in me hat
With my good eye on the beat, living on fixation strete
And I ain't got no time for that

The Salt In My Tears


The Salt In My Tears
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And I did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake

And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last I can see my way clear
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear

'Cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears

Revolution


Revolution
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's going to be Alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's going to be Alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's going to be Alright
Alright Alright

Salt In My Tears


Salt In My Tears
Composer(s): Martin Briley
Performer(s): Martin Briley



I never did it
No I won't admit it
Why should I lie for you anymore
You never loved me
You pushed and you shoved me
I see the woman I never saw
I saw you laugh when the knife was twisted
It still hurts but the pain has shifted
I'm looking back at the time that drifted by
But I won't cry for the wasted years
'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears

Feeling neglected
Used and rejected
You need a shoulder to lean upon
Maybe you've picked him
Found your next victim
Don't worry someone will come along
I broke the spell that you kept me under
I'd had enough of the rain and thunder
I lost track of the time and I wonder why
But I won't cry for the wasted years
'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears

I'll sit around and drink a few more beers
Until the memory just disappears
'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears

Clyde


Clyde
Composer(s): C.W. Beavers; J.J. Cale
Originally performed by: J.J. Cale
Covered by various other artists



Clyde plays electric bass
Plays it with finesse and grace
Sit on the porch without no shoes
A-picking the bass and singing the blues
Misery loves company
And his old dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail
You can hear him moan, you can hear him wail
Jody May, she got a dollar
Down the road you can hear her holler
"Get up Clyde, we got something to do
That old dog can sing the blues"
He don't move, he don't flinch
Clyde, he don't move an inch
Just sit on the porch without no shoes
Picking his bass and singing the blues

Revoir Encore


Revoir Encore
Composer(s): R. Benet; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Revoir encore
La revoir encore
Rien qu'un seul instant devant moi
Pour lui dire en tenant sa main
Que mon chagrin
Ne pourra s'effacer
Que si elle revenait
Revoir encore
La revoir encore
Rien qu'un seul instant devant moi
Pour lui montrer que dans ma vie
Jamais l'oubli
N'est venu emporter
Son nom que j'aimais
Redescendre encore la rue
Où tous les marchands nous crient la bienvenue
Retrouver sa porte tous les soirs
On s'embrassait parfois
Seuls dans le noir
Et le café du coin
Le bruit du train ....
Revoir encore
La revoir encore
Rien qu'un seul instant devant moi
Lui parler de nos souvenirs
Et revenir
Car depuis son départ
Le soleil se fait rare
Revoir encore
La revoir encore
Rien qu'un seul instant devant moi
Est-il possible ce retour
Vers notre Amour
Et pourtant je voudrais
Tout recommencer
Redescendre encore la rue
Parmi tous les amis et les inconnus
Ignorer toujours que demain
N'est fait que de chagrin
Rire d'un rien
Mais tout cela est loin
Comme le train ....
Encore
Je veux la revoir encore
Tout n'est pas perdu encore
Je veux la revoir encore ....

Salesman


Salesman
Composer(s): Craig Smith
Performer(s): The Monkees



Salesman, where you gonna go?
To sell all your of your goods today
Salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way
Well salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk
Hey, salesman, got a little dog whose tail wags when you talk
You always wear a smile, even though you've gotta walk ten miles
Short lifespan, goodtime salesman
Yep, yep salesman got it on the street, whether it's hot or cold
It's salesman, well, you work real hard
Until every part is sold
Salesman as the years go by
People changing every day
Hey, salesman 'til the end of time you'll be livin in the same way
You always wear a smile, you love 'em fast and you live wild
Short life span, but ain't life grand?

Copper kettles, different kinds of tin
There goes salesman and he's sailing high again
He's sailing so high, high, sailing so high...

Salesman where you gonna go to sell all of your goods today
Yup, salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way
Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk
Hey, salesman with your secret goods that you push while you talk
You always wear a smile
Even though you've gotta walk a hundred ten miles
Short life span - but the whole thing's grand
Salesman...

Now, well, I tried the one that you put it in and you have to do it manually
But I'd like the one that you just plug it in and it does it all by itself in a real long strand and you cut 'em up
It's easier to do it that way because, well, I put all the stuff in there and it keeps flippin' out
And I can't get the thing to stick together anything
Coupled with the fact that I have to stick two of them together to even get one out of it
and they always end up lookin' like Lucky Strikes

Si alguna vez dudas de mí

Reviewing The Situation


Reviewing The Situation
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Ron Moody;
and various other artists



A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Joking apart, hasn't he?
And though I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint
I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint

I'm reviewing the situation
Can a fellow be a villain all his life?
All the trials and tribulation
Better settle down and get meself a wife

And a wife would cook and sew for me
And come for me, and go for me
And go for me and nag at me
The fingers she will wag at me
The money she will take from me
A misery, she'll make from me
I think I'd better think it out again!

A wife you can keep, anyway
I'd rather sleep, anyway
Left without anyone in the world
And I'm starting from now
So how to win friends and to influence people?
So how?

I'm reviewing the situation
I must quickly look up ev'ryone I know
Titled people, with a station
Who can help me make a real impressive show!

I will own a suite at Claridges
And run a fleet of carriages
And wave at all the duchesses
With friendliness, as much as is
Befitting of my new estate
"Good morning to you, Magistrate!"
I think I'd better think it out again

So where shall I go, somebody?
Who do I know? Nobody!
All my dearest companions
Have always been villains and thieves
So at my time of life I should start
Turning over new leaves?

I'm reviewing the situation
If you want to eat, you've got to earn a bob!
Is it such a humiliation
For a robber to perform an honest job?

So a job I'm getting, possibly
I wonder who the boss'll be?
I wonder if he'll take to me?
What bonuses he'll make to me?
I'll start at eight and finish late
At normal rate, and all, but wait!
I think I'd better think it out again

What happens when I'm seventy?
Must come a time, seventy
When you're old, and it's cold
And who cares if you live or you die?
The one consolation's the money
You may have put by

I'm reviewing the situation
I'm a bad 'un and a bad 'un I shall stay!
You'll be seeing no transformation
But it's wrong to be a rogue in ev'ry way

I don't want nobody hurt for me
Or made to do the dirt for me
This rotten life is not for me
It's getting far too hot for me
Don't want no one to rob for me
But who will find a job for me
There is no in between for me
But who will change the scene for me?
I think I'd better think it out again!
