Como Se Fosse


Como Se Fosse
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Capinan
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



De azul carinho
Vi a noite pintada
Fosse alegre, como ave saltando
Fosse triste, como ser virgem
Fosse linda, como a conquista
Das estrelas
Das estrelas

De azul carinho
Veio o desenho pintado
Jeito de amar desesperado
Mais chorado que vivido
Como se vivê-la
Fosse não vê-la

Ronnie


Ronnie
Composer(s): Bob Gaudio; Bob Crewe
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons;
Jersey Babys



I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
You were my first love

So very warm and tender
The way you loved me
Hey girl, can't you remember
And want more of me

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie
Why did you go
Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
I am regretting but can't stop forgetting because
You were my first love

You said now you don't need me
Because I cheated
Why didn't you believe me
When I repeated

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie
You'll never know
Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
You were my first love

I walk all alone
I cry at home
Night after night (night after night)
Day after day

I never cheated
I still repeat it

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, you'll never know
Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
You were my first love

I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
You were my first love

The Woodpecker Song


The Woodpecker Song
((Italian Version: Reginella Campagnola (Carlo Buti))
Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Eldo Di Lazzaro - C. Bruno
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



He's up each morning bright and early
To wake up all the neighborhood
To bring to ev'ry boy and girlie
His happy serenade on wood

Hear him pickin' out a melody
Peck, peck, peckin' at the same old tree
He's as happy as a bumble bee
All day long

To serenade your lady
Just find a tree that's shady
And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick
Tick-a-tick-tick, sing right along

Come on and try his rhythm
And let your hearts beat with 'im
Just listen to that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick
Happy little Woodpecker Song

Como Quien Dice


Como Quien Dice
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy volví a bailar contigo
volví a enseñarte mis amigos
regresé sin ton ni son

Luego vi en el pensamiento
a este verano en que te vi
de nuevo me senté contento
y agotado junto a ti

Hoy estuve en la mañana
de cantos de sinsontes
de sol en la ventana
de amanecer de montes
de sábanas saciadas

Hoy volví a tener destino
del torpe caminante
de sueños enemigos
de idioma navegante
de rey de mendigos
de rey y de mendigo

Hoy volví de entre los muertos
silbando extraño tu canción
tirando notas y recuerdos
como quien dice un adiós

Rondeel


Rondeel
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



En, hoerenloper die ik ben
Ik heb er zoveel liefgehad
Florence en Brugge, Londen dat
Ik even goed als Rome ken

Omdat ik zo snel aan ze wen
Wordt zelfs de mooiste snel een gat
En, hoerenloper die ik ben
Ik heb er zoveel liefgehad

Toch is die ik het minste ken
Mijn woonplaats en geboortestad
Daar werd ik en niet meer dan dat
De zanger met papier en pen
En hoerenloper die ik ben

The Wonders You Perform


The Wonders You Perform
Composer(s): Jim Chestnut
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette; George Jones



Oh Lord, you know that I'm not one to bother you with little thi-ings
And you and I have never been too-oo close
But we've always been on speakin' terms
I've watched you with doin' things
And tried to understand you more than most

No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to
But I always thought you knew in my own way I worshipped you
While even your own children doubt and fail to understand
The simple way you go about the things you do

I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny grave
And wondered why a child is brought into the world
To only live a little while and die, you could have saved

But I believe that in your eyes this little child was somethin' special
And you wanted it to be with you, no doubt
So with out-stretched arms you beckoned it so simple that I reckon
They can't understand the way you worked it out

Once I saw a young man growin' till he neared the age of knowin'
Then I watched as somethin' happened to his mind
No doctor could correct it, it was just as I suspected
And I marvelled at your way of bein' kind

They tried everything in vain and I was there when they explained it
To the family, how he slipped into a trance
Guess you looked into the future, watched him turn his back upon you
Lovin' him so much you couldn't take the chance

It took a lot of love to die, for sinners such as I
And I guess that's why you've never given up on me
You understood when some denied you and even when they crucified you
Knowin' all these things were meant to be-ee
For the stable's such a simple thing, no wonder there were few who came
To see a king the night that you were born
And I’d ask one favor if I can, help me to better understand
The mystery of the wonders You perform, Amen

Como La Lluvia En Buenos Aires


Como La Lluvia En Buenos Aires
Composer(s): Joaquin Sabina
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Cuando las cartas salen malas
y van los dioses a lo suyo
cuando la luna es un anuncio de neón
cuando el silencio te acorrala
y te hipotecan el orgullo
cuando el crepúsculo te pega un bofetón
cuando las calles se amontonan
cuando los sueós se marchitan
cuando el teléfono se olvida de sonar
cuando las drogas decepcionan
cuando la sangre se encabrita
cuando los bares coleccionan soledad

Y demasiadas pocas veces se merece
a vida una canción
y demasiadas madrugadas amanece
nublado el corazón
y demasiadas noches paso
durmiendo solo al raso
bajo el reloj de la puerta del sol
con un frio del demoño
preguntandole al otoño
quien le puso ese nombre de estación

Cuando se afilan las navajas
cuando conspiran los espejos
cuando enloquecen las agujas del reloj
cuando se rompen las barajas
cuando los niños nacen viejos
cuando la carne sabe a carne de cañon
cuando los angeles flasfeman
cuando las cartas llegan tarde
cuando la aurora es una nueva decepción
cuando los besos envenenan
o cuando llueve en Buenos Aires
cuando se pone el sol en la imaginación

Y demasiadas pocas veces se merece …

Rondeau


Rondeau
Composer(s): Pierre Ferrari; Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer



Au fil de l'eau les jours s'en vont
un jour un autre et la semaine
doux noyés au fil de la Seine
je suis le badaud sur le pont

Je suis le noyé vagabond
le jour de l'An Noël emmène
au fil de l'eau les jours s'en vont
un jour un autre et la semaine

Crachons dans l'eau pour voir le rond
pleurons ta jeunesse lointaine
cœur fou qui court la prétentaine
l'eau ne revoit jamais l'amont

Au fil de l'eau les jours s'en vont

The Wonder Of You


The Wonder Of You
Composer(s): Baker Knight
First release by: Ray Peterson - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

Como La Cigarra


Como La Cigarra
Composer(s): María Elena Walsh
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



Tantas veces me mataron, tantas veces me morí
sin embargo estoy aquí resucitando
Gracias doy a la desgracia y a la mano con puñal
porque me mató tan mal y seguí cantando

Cantando al sol como la cigarra
después de un año bajo la tierra
igual que sobreviviente
que vuelve de la guerra

Tantas veces me borraron, tantas desaparecí
a mi propio entierro fui solo y llorando
Hice un nudo en el pañuelo pero me olvidé después
que no era la única vez y seguí cantando

Cantando al sol...

Tantas veces te mataron, tantas resucitarás
cuántas noches pasarás desesperando
Y a la hora del naufragio y la de la oscuridad
alguien te rescatará para ir cantando

Cantando al sol...

Ronda Del Anillo Dentro Del Agua


Ronda Del Anillo Dentro Del Agua
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



A la ronda del anillo dentro del agua
Pagaré señal y prenda antes jamás pagadas
De donde rompen las olas
te traeré espuma salada
A la ronda del anillo dentro del agua
A la ronda ronda del anillo dentro del agua
Pagaré señal y prenda antes jamás pagadas
De los volcanes antiguos
te traeré fuego de plata
A la ronda del anillo dentro del agua
A la ronda ronda del anillo dentro del agua
Pagaré señal y prenda antes jamás pagadas
Te traeré un collar de nieve
de cordilleras lejanas
A la ronda del anillo dentro del agua
A la ronda ronda del anillo dentro del agua
Pagaré señal y prenda antes jamás pagadas
Te traeré postales verdes de ciudades olvidadas
A la ronda del anillo dentro del agua

The Wombling Song


The Wombling Song
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): The Wombles



Underground, overground, wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
Making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind

Uncle Bulgaria
He can remember the days when he wasn't behind the times
With his map of the world
Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!

Wombles are organised, work as a team
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean
Underground, overground, wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!

People don't notice us, they never see
Under their noses a Womble may be
We womble by night and we womble by day
Looking for litter to trundle away

We're so incredibly, utterly devious
Making the most of everything
Even bottles and tins
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new
Is what we do!

Underground, overground, wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
Making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind

Como Hiciste Tú


Como Hiciste Tú
Composer(s): E. Suggeri - S. Rocchetti - J.M. Gallardo - C. Toro
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Cuando nació te hizo tan feliz
y te dio tanta alegría
que ahora decirte adiós su compañía
todo cambio en tu vida de color
todo cambio en la casa con su amor
Cuanto tuviste que luchar hasta hacerla una mujer
cuanto gozaste viéndola crecer
siempre le diste todo sin pensar
que un día tu pequeña se iba a marchar
Se va de casa como hiciste tú
con las alas de su juventud
se va de casa para ser feliz
rebosando ganas de vivir
Se va de casa como hiciste tú
con el alma llena de inquietud
se va de casa para no volver
con las sombras del atardecer
Y empieza sola una nueva vida
en otra parte lejos de tu casa
como hiciste tú
Cuantas palabras, cuanto amor
cuantas horas de ternura
cuantas caricias llenas de dulzura
cuantos momentos buenos junto a ti
se lleva en su equipaje al partir
Se va de casa como hiciste tú
con las alas de su juventud
se va de casa para ser feliz
rebosando ganas de vivir
Se va de casa como hiciste tú
con el alma llena de inquietud
se va de casa para no volver
con las sombras del atardecer
Y empieza sola una nueva vida
en otra parte lejos de tu casa
como hiciste tú
Se va de casa como hiciste tú
con las alas de su juventud
se va de casa para ser feliz
rebosando ganas de vivir

Romina


Romina
Composer(s): Maurice Vallet; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



J'me lève et j 'mets dans mon café
Deux ou trois larmes pour le saler
Rien de nouveau dessous la porte
Sauf un billet pour la mer Morte

À la radio on n'parle pas d'toi
Et dans la glace on ne voit qu'moi

{Refrain:}
Romina, Romina
T'as laissé bien trop d'place chez moi
T'as laissé trop d'traces sur mes doigts
Sur mon piano et sur mon cœur

Je ferme et j'descends l'escalier
Je tangue comme un bateau paumé
Sans mon pilote et sans ma foi
Je risque de bientôt m'écraser
Dans les journaux, pas d'mots sur toi
Mais dans l'orage on ne voit qu'moi

{Refrain}

Je vais nager dans le quartier
Avec ma peine à mes souliers
Et ma boussole déréglée
M'entraîne dans de drôles de pensées

À mon ciné, une photo d'toi
Mais à l'entrée, il n'y a pas qu'moi

{Refrain}

The Womble Square Dance


The Womble Square Dance
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): The Wombles



Swing your parners Womble-style
Dosey-doe with a Womble-smile
Step to the left, step the right
I wish we could square-dance every night!

Knees a-pumping, elcows high
Soon we'll serve some Womble Pie
The fiddler's working well for you
we might square-dance the whole night through!

Honour your partner, turn around
Lift your partner off the ground
Form a square so nice and neat
Swing those furry Womble feet!

Od Bulgaria, take your time
Keep On Wombling, keep in line
Cross the room, turn round and then
Take your partners once again

Womble fast and Womble slow
that's the way the music goes
Up and down and round and round
Underground and Overground!

Como Fué


Como Fué
Composer(s): Ernesto Duarte
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Como fue
no se decirte como fue
No se explicar lo que paso
Pero de ti me enamore

Fue una luz
Que ilumino todo mi ser
Tu risa como manantial
rego mi vida de inquietud

Coro

fueron tus ojos o tu boca
fueron tus manos o tu voz
fue a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar tu llegada
mas no se
no se decirte como fue
no se explicarme que paso
pero de ti me enamore Fin

Corregida por cortesia de
no se decirte como fue
No se explicar lo que paso
Pero de ti me enamore

Fue una luz
Que ilumino todo mi ser
Tu risa como manantial
rego mi vida de inquietud

Coro

fueron tus ojos o tu boca
fueron tus manos o tu voz
fue a lo mejor la impaciencia
de tanto esperar tu llegada
mas no se
no se decirte como fue
no se explicarme que paso
pero de ti me enamore Fin

Romeo And The Lonely Girl


Romeo And The Lonely Girl
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy; Ernie Graham



Romeo and the lonely girl
They seemed to hit it off
Till Romeo told the lonely girl
"I must take my leave, my love"

It was these few words I overheard
And thought, "I should move in"
But before I could
The lonely girl had fallen in love again

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he had it rough
The guy you'd like to burn
But everything that Romeo had
You can bet it was well earned

For all his good looks
There were scars that he took
And there is a lesson
To be learned

Never judge a lover
By a good looking cover
Because the story
Might be spurned

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he like to put it around
He was everybody's friend
But in the end even Romeo found
On no one could he depend

For all his charms
In someone else's arms
Lonely girl
Safely lay

When the train pulled in
It had to leave again
And Romeo
Pulled away

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting all on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

The Woman In Me


The Woman In Me
Composer(s): Michael Leonard Clark - John Bettis
First release by: Donna Summer - 1982



Dancing close, feeling restless
It's a slow sultry night
it'll take a lifetime til sunrise
If you won't stay with me tonight
Feel your breath caress my shoulder
as your heart reads my mind
you don't have to tell me anything
I can see everything in your eyes
It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse to be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe that I'm feeling so free
to be the woman in me
Baby there's so much no man has ever touched
of the woman in me
I might be trembling
but I'm not scared
just my desire breaking free
I've never had a chance like this before
to unlock all the doors to the woman in me
It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse to be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe that I'm feeling so free
to be the woman in me
Like the dark side of the full moon
I've never shown what I'm showing to you
It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse
to be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe that I'm feeling so free
to be the woman in me
It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse to be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe that I'm feeling so free
to be the woman in me...

Como Esperando Abril


Como Esperando Abril
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
las nubes de la mañana
son
una flor
que le ha nacido a un tren
Un reloj
se transforma en cangrejo
y la capa de un viejo
da
con una tempestad de comején

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
algodones jugaban
a ser un jardín
en espera de abril

Luego entro los ojos
chorreando esa luz de infinito
y es cuando necesito
un perro, un bastón, una mano, una fe
Y tú pasas tocando
el frío con suave silencio
y, ciego, te sentencio
a que nombres todo lo que ahora no sé

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
las nubes de la mañana
son
una flor
que le ha nacido a un tren
Un reloj
se transforma en cangrejo
y la capa de un viejo
da
con una tempestad de comején

Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
algodones jugaban
a ser un jardín
en espera de abril
Mucho más
allá de mi ventana
mi esperanza jugaba
a una flor
a un jardín
como esperando abril

Romeo And Juliet


Romeo And Juliet
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits



Narrator:
A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says "hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
He's underneath the window she's singing "hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"

Romeo:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, both the streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes in the dream it was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks, like the talk on TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything, except be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the band company
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Narrator:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Romeo:
"You and me babe, how about it?"
