Cuando Voy Al Trabajo


Cuando Voy Al Trabajo
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Carmen Prieto



Cuando voy al trabajo
pienso en ti
por las calles del barrio
pienso en ti
cuando miro los rostros
tras el vidrio empañado
sin saber quienes son, donde van
Pienso en ti
mi vida, pienso en ti
En ti compañera de mis dias
y del porvenir
de las horas amargas
y la dicha de poder vivir
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Cuando el turno termina
y la tarde baja
estirando su sombra
por el tijeral
y al volver de la obra
discutiendo entre amigos
razonando cuestiones
de este tiempo y destino
pienso en ti
mi vida, pienso en ti
En ti compañera de mis dias
y del porvenir
de las horas amargas
y la dicha de poder vivir
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Cuando llego a la casa
estas ahi
y amarramos los sueños
Laborando el comienzo de una historia
sin saber el fin

Je L'Aime Comme Je Respire


Je L'Aime Comme Je Respire
Composer(s): Laurent Chalumeau;
Julien Clerc; Khalil
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Pour lui faire l'amour
Tout droit n'est pas le chemin le plus court
Son corps se mérite
En respectant nos rites
Signaux et fétiches
Petits détails dont nos désirs s'entichent
Dites à la police
Que nous sommes des complices
Mon coeur se bat pour
L'envie de nous qu'elle a toujours
Mon coeur se bat pour
Faire son amour
Chaque instant
De sa vie m'attire
Je l'aime comme
Je respire

Pour lui faire l'amour
Souvent je dois inventer des détours
Doucement s'incitent
Deux corps d'accord tacite
J'adore quand elle triche
Bizarre‚ où parfois le plaisir se niche
Ainsi sa peau lisse
Répond à mon caprice
Mon coeur se bat pour
L'envie de nous qu'elle a toujours
Mon coeur se bat pour
Faire son amour
Chaque instant
De sa vie m'attire
Je l'aime comme
Je respire

Thunder Island


Thunder Island
Composer(s): Jay Ferguson
Performer(s): Jay Ferguson



Sha, la, la, la, la, la, my lady

In the sun with your hair undone
Can you hear me now callin' your name from across the bay
A summer's day laughin' and a hidin'
Chasin' love out on Thunder Island

Hey, hey, hey, hey

She was the color of the indian summer
And we shared the hours without number
Until one day when the sky turned dark and the winds grew wild
Caught by the rain and blinded by the lightning
We rode the storm out there on Thunder Island

I held her close
until the storm passed
And we fell down laughing in the wet grass
Both our bodies drying in the sunshine
sweet sunshine

So
Sha, la, la, la, la, la my lady
In the sun with your dress undone
Now every mile away and every day
Cuts a little bit deeper
I'll remember the nights in the cool sand
Makin' love out on Thunder Island

Goodbye Thunder Island

Cuando Vivas Conmigo


Cuando Vivas Conmigo
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



De mis ojos está brotando llanto
a mis años estoy enamorado
Tengo el pelo completamente blanco
pero voy a sacar juventud de mi pasado
Y te voy a enseñar a querer porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender cuando vivas conmigo

De mis labios está brotando sangre
mi derrota la tengo sepultada
Hoy me entrego entre tus brazos como en nadie
porque sé que mi amor sin tu amor no vale nada
Y te voy a enseñar a querer porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender cuando vivas conmigo

Je L'Aime À Mourir


Je L'Aime À Mourir
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel;
and various other artists



Moi je n'étais rien
Et voilà qu'aujourd'hui
Je suis le gardien
Du sommeil de ses nuits
Je l'aime à mourir
Vous pouvez détruire
Tout ce qu'il vous plaira
Elle n'a qu'à ouvrir
L'espace de ses bras
Pour tout reconstruire
Pour tout reconstruire
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a gommé les chiffres
Des horloges du quartier
Elle a fait de ma vie
Des cocottes en papier
Des éclats de rire
Elle a bâti des ponts
Entre nous et le ciel
Et nous les traversons
À chaque fois qu'elle
Ne veut pas dormir
Ne veut pas dormir
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
Pour être si forte aujourd'hui
Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
De la vie, et l'amour aussi
Elle vit de son mieux
Son rêve d'opaline
Elle danse au milieu
Des forêts qu'elle dessine
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle porte des rubans
Qu'elle laisse s'envoler
Elle me chante souvent
Que j'ai tort d'essayer
De les retenir
De les retenir
Je l'aime à mourir
Pour monter dans sa grotte
Cachée sous les toits
Je dois clouer des notes
À mes sabots de bois
Je l'aime à mourir

Je dois juste m'asseoir
Je ne dois pas parler
Je ne dois rien vouloir
Je dois juste essayer
De lui appartenir
De lui appartenir
Je l'aime à mourir

Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
Pour être si forte aujourd'hui
Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres
De la vie, et l'amour aussi
Moi je n'étais rien
Et voilà qu'aujourd'hui
Je suis le gardien
Du sommeil de ses nuits
Je l'aime à mourir

Vous pouvez détruire
Tout ce qu'il vous plaira
Elle n'aura qu'à ouvrir
L'espace de ses bras
Pour tout reconstruire
Pour tout reconstruire
Je l'aime à mourir

Thumbalina


Thumbalina
Performer(s): Danny Kaye



Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall

Though you're no bigger than my thumb
Than my thumb, than my thumb
Sweet Thumbalina don't be glum
Now now now, ah ah ah, come come come

Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall

Though you're no bigger than my toe
Than my toe, than my toe
Sweet Thumbalina keep that glow
And you'll grow and you'll grow and you'll grow

Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall

Cuando Vengas A Verme


Cuando Vengas A Verme
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Cuando vengas hoy a verme
me devuelvas roto el corazón
verás pintada en rojo las paredes
y en el baño una bomba molotov...

Esperar y esperar para nunca, nunca tener nada
nena, nena, nena el primer mundo no anda bien
tener un trabajo y una cerveza asegurada
y las manos limpias para tocarte el alma...

Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme, oh no!
Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...

Y con la noche arrodillada
volaremos sobre la guerra
hasta el ghetto y su violenta madrugada
arrojando panes de oro y música...

Volverá, volverá la ternura a estar de nuestro lado
y haremos el amor desnudos sobre vidrios rotos
"un pueblo callado es un pueblo dominado"
recuérdamelo cuando te diga que te amo...

Hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...
verme, verme, verme...
Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...

Hoy cuando vengas, hoy cuando vengas
hoy cuando vengas a verme...
verme, verme, verme...

I Act As If

I Act As If
French Title: Je Fais Comme Si
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Each day I wake up with a song
A million new ideas before me
As if I'd centuries to spend

And yet I savour deep and long
The many pleasures life has for me
As if tomorrow it might end

I say because of loving you
I can forget all pain and sorrow
As if the world was only good

I say the golden age is due
And brotherhood of man will follow
As if I still believed it could

And though the world is as it is, I make believe
And though the world is as it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

I make my childrens' dreams come true
Nothing so hard to do, but trying
As if I ruled the Universe

But sometimes when I'm feeling blue
Each day would dry the tears I'm crying
As if our roles were in reverse

I want to give them faith to see
That they will move the mountain ranges
As if the choice was mine by right

And I prepare them fervently
For futures free of fears and dangers
As if I felt no doubt or fright

And though the world is as it is, I make believe
And though the world is as it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

I tell myself there's not a thing
Can break apart a love enduring
As if death were an unknown word

I say no force on earth
Can bring a change from loving to abhoring
As if that never had occurred

And yet I savour deep and long
The many pleasures life has for me
As if tomorrow it might end

Each day I wake up with a song
A million new ideas before me
As if I'd centuries to spend

And though the world is at it is, I make believe
And though the world is at it is, I act as if
I act as if, as if

Cuando Vendrás


Cuando Vendrás
Composer(s): Gil Rivera
Performer(s): Raphael



Cuando vendrás
A vestirme de amor
A decirme de nuevo
Te quiero

Cuando tendre
Tu presencia en lugar
De una carta leida
En silencio

Cuando entrara
Por mi puerta el amor
Esperado de ti
Tanto tiempo

Cuando estaras a mi lado
Cuando estaras en mi lecho
Cuando estaras en mis brazos
Cuando estaras en mi cuerpo

Cuando vendrás
A traer la mitad que me falta
Cuando vendrás
A llenarme los ojos y el alma

Cuando vendrás
Ya me duele el amor de no verte
Cuando vendrás
Sin que tenga despues que perderte

Cuando entrara
Por mi puerta el amor
Esperado de ti
Tanto tiempo

I (Who Have Nothing)

I (Who Have Nothing)
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber;
Mike Stoller; Carlo Donida
Performer(s): Ben E. King;
and various other artists



I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh
I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I
Who loves you

I love you
I love you
I love you

Throwing Stones


Throwing Stones
Composer(s): Bob Weir - John Barlow
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me

A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid, we may our home to waste

There´s a fear down here we can´t forget hasn´t got a name just yet
Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men´s eyes
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Stalking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me
Click, flashblade in ghetto night
Rudies looking for a fight
Rat cat alley roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price
Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
While the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit´s sleeping, then the flesh is ink
History´s page, it is thusly carved in stone
The future´s here, we are it, we are on our own
If the game is lost then we´re all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or this shinning ball of bule we can call our home
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
While the politicians are throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing ´black goes south while white comes north´
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing ´I got mine and you got yours´
And the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
And the radical he rant and rage
Singing ´someone got to turn the page´
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing ´Just leave well enough alone´
But his pants are down, his cover´s blown
And the politicians are throwing stones
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
'Cause it's all too clear we´re on our own
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It´s dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes, Ashes all fall down

Cuando Uno Ama En Serio


Cuando Uno Ama En Serio
Performer(s): Zas



Si me río es para que te rías
si te amo es para que existas
si te miro casi no puedo ni hablar
si lo hago así de cualquier modo
es que ya he perdido casi todo
sólo tu polenta me podrá salvar

Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley
porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

Si te escucho es para que sepas
que comparto todos tus secretos
si te guiño el ojo es para que avances
Qué pasará conmigo si te esfumas
quién volverá a usar mis pantalones
quién limpiará mis discos y mi corazón

Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley
porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés

(I've Had The) Time Of My Life

(I've Had The) Time Of My Life
Composer(s): John DeNicola;
Donald Markowitz; Franke Previte
Performer(s): Bill Medley;
and various other artists



Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you ...
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretely

So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because ...

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go

Don't be afraid to loose control.
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say "Stay with me tonight.
Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because ...

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you

(chorus)

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

(chorus)

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found ...

Through With Buzz


Through With Buzz
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Troglodytes



He takes all my money
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh
He’s not very funny
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh

I remember when he stole my girl
Drug her all around the world
You know I’m cool, yes I feel alright
’cept when I’m in my room and it’s late at night

Maybe he’s a fairy
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh, all right

Cuando Tú No Estás (Raphael)


Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



No se si el mundo es el de siempre
Pero yo lo veo diferente
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brillan las estrellas
Pero yo me encuentro entre tiniembas
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Cuando tu no estas
No tengo nada
No me queda mas que mi dolor
Por eso envidio al mar que tiene agua
Y al amanecer que tiene al sol

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

No se si es todo como antes
Pero a mi me falta como el aire
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brilla igual la luna
Pero yo la noche veo oscura
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Yo te busco a ti bajo las hojas
Que cayendo estan cerca de mi
Al otoño gris lleno de sombras
Le preguntare que fue de ti

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

Sin Laura
Sin su amor

(I've Got) Beginner's Luck

(I've Got) Beginner's Luck
From the film "Shall We Dance"
Composer(s): George & Ira Gershwin
Performer(s: Fred Astaire;
and various other artists



I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you
Gosh, I'm lucky

I've got beginner's luck
They told me beginners win
Now I know it's true
Gosh, I'm fortunate

The thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time

I've got beginner's luck
Lucky through and through
'Cause the first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

At any gambling casino
From Monte Carlo to Reno
They tell you that a beginner
Comes out a winner

Beginner fishing for flounder
Will catch a seventeen pounder
That's what I've always heard
And always thought absurd,
But now, I believe every word

I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

I've got beginner's luck
There never was such a smile
Or such eyes of blue

This thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time

'Cause the first time that I'm in love
The very first time that I'm in love
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

Thru These Walls


Thru These Walls
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
And I hear every sign, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way
My favourite moment
Putting the glass up next to the wall
Imagination
Though I see nothing, I hear it all
Putting my sign up
Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out
I can see through my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see through my windows
And I can imagine the noise
I can see through my windows
I can see them playing with toys
Oh I hope it won't end
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend
Life is so lonely
I don't get high off just being me
I like pretending
Wanting to touch them, wanting to see
It's only normal
Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight
Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage
No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely
Am I really asking a lot
Just to reach out and touch somebody
'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door
I can feel it all around me
I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
And I hear every sight, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way

Cuando Tú No Estás (Carlos Gardel)


Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Mario Battistella - Carlos Gardel - M. Lattes - Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
and multiple other artists



Solo en las rutas de mi destino
sin el amparo de tu mirar
soy como un ave que en el camino
rompió las cuerdas de su cantar

Cuando no estás, la flor no perfuma
si tú te vas, me envuelve la bruma
El zorzal, la fuente y las estrellas
pierden para mí su seducción
Cuando no estás, muere mi esperanza
si tú te vas, se va mi ilusión
¡Oye mi lamento, que confío al viento
todo el dolor cuando tú no estás!

Nace la aurora resplandeciente
clara mañana, bello rosal
brilla la estrella, canta la fuente
ríe la vida porque tú estás

(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That

(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That
Composer(s): Danny Kortchmar; James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor; Coastline Band



I like to think about the time I met you
Living with your people down in New Orleans
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you
Ride in no nasty limousine
Later on the levee with the moon up above
I lost my heart and confessed my love
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

One Summer night in a field of wheat
God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky
Moving light on your tiny feet
I knew I had to love you till the day I die
They talk about Amazing Grace
It meant something when I saw your face
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

I think of all the little things that I never told you
I think I may get to hold you someday
It's my brain just like a man possessed
I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest
I can't understand it baby

Don't like to think about the way it ended
I hate remembering the things that I said
I dream a dream of love so splendid
I wake up hard in an empty bed
I wonder who'll be loving you next
Some fool will be writing bad checks
Oh now Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you
