El Número Uno
El Número Uno
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Tenía el mundo entero entre sus manos
Tenía el alma fuerte para volar
En su rincón paraba los cuatro vientos
Nació con buena estrella para triunfar
Y fue esa tarde negra, Río de Janeiro
cuando quebró sus alas la oscuridad
Vuela, campeón... vuela otra vez
Yo sé que hay gente en todas partes
que aún puede querer
Otra vez alza tu frente
no hay nada que esconder
Vuela Cóndor, amigo
que el sol brilla otra vez
Tenía en su espalda el número uno
Y la mirada atenta como guardián
Tenía mil sonrisas y otro futuro
y una estrella blanca por qué luchar
Y fue esa tarde negra, Río de Janeiro
cuando quebró sus alas la oscuridad
Vuela, campeón... vuela otra vez
Yo sé que hay gente en todas partes
que aún puede querer
Otra vez alza tu frente
No hay nada que esconder
Vuela, Cóndor, amigo
que el sol brilla otra vez

If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)
If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)
Composer(s): David Bellamy; Howard Bellamy
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
Now we can talk all night about the weather
Tell you 'bout my friends out on the coast
I could ask alot of crazy questions
Or I could ask what I really want to know
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
Now rain can fall so soft against the window
The sun can shine so bright up in the sky
But daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk"
He said, "Come on out and said what's on your mind"
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me

El Niño Yuntero
El Niño Yuntero
Composer(s): Miguel Hernández - Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara
and multiple other artists
Carne de yugo ha nacido
mas humillado que bello
con el cuello perseguido
por el yugo para el cuello
Empieza a vivir y empieza
a morir de punta a punta
levantando la corteza
de su madre con la yunta
Contar sus años no sabe
y ya sabe que el sudor
es una corona grave
de sal para el labrador
Me duele este niño hambriento
como una grandiosa espina
y su vivir ceniciento
revuelve mi alma de ecima
Contar sus años no sabe
y ya sabe que el sudor
es una corona grave
de sal para el labrador
Quien salvara a este chiquillo
menor que un grano de avena
de donde saldra el martillo
verdugo de esta cadena
Que salga del corazon
de los hombres jornaleros
que antes de ser hombres son
y han sido niños yunteros

If I Ruled The World
If I Ruled The World
Dutch Version: Die Wereld Van Mij - 1968
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Cyril Ornadel
Performer(s): Harry Secombe - 1963
and multiple other artists
If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of Spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring
If I ruled the world
Every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams
If I ruled the world
Every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

El Niño Que No Pudo Nacer Y Reir
El Niño Que No Pudo Nacer Y Reir
Composer(s): Leonardo Favio - J. Candia
Performer(s): Raphael; Leonardo Favio
¿Dónde estará la niña que no viene más?
Dicen que se fue camino de la gran ciudad
Lleva en su vientre un niño que no nacerá
Porque sino su patrona se puede enfadar
Tal vez allá en la villa se ponga a llorar
Cuando le arranque el hijo doña Trinidad
Dicen que era lindo y rubio como un querubín
El niño que no pudo nacer ni reír
¿Dónde estará la niña que no viene más?
Se fue a acunar a su hijo a la eternidad

If I Only Knew
If I Only Knew
Composer(s): Rise Robots Rise
Performer(s): Tom Jones
Ow!!
Yeah...
Yeah
Home grown, on the bone
All the channels show the same old war zone
As I walk alone in the city
Makin' me an offer, now don't they look pretty
New cinema
Live action, all the noise of attraction beats up
On the streets, the sellers do mark up
Better than tellin' em off, don't stock up
Shark, they don't bite
All that matters is you're not here tonight
And now that I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole ten feet under
Under sea, under you, under we, undivided
Undecided
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
To make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you make you love me
To make you make you love me
Up north where the snow grows colder
I travel onward 'cross the border
Looked up a girl that I once knew frozen
To be the follower of the deity
Make myself scarce while they
Come to plea bargain
For my body and soul
All the flames go around, surround me
I won't go
I need the ozone
I wanna cuddle up behind your backbone
I never stay long where I'm not wanted
I fell haunted
Yo brother
Where ya gonna go
Back to the warzone
To break down the walls
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
To make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you make you love me
To make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you happy
To make you make you happy
If only I knew what I should do, yeah
To make you make you love me
I bared my soul to the golden traces
Went to the forest of the holy places
And now I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole ten feet under
Under sea, under me, under you, under we, undivided
Undecided
Yeah... yeah
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you happy
To make you make you happy
If I only knew
What I should do
To make you make you happy
To make you make you happy
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
To make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I should do
To make you make you love me
If I only knew what I should do
If I only knew what I should do

El Niño Que Fui
El Niño Que Fui
Performer(s): Victor Heredia
A veces el cristal del llanto me da
pájaros sin voz en el corazón
y se me pone gris en algún cajón
donde mi niñez vive su soledad
En un pino que fue rama dulce ayer
bomba de color, barco en el amor
que el viento azotó y por fin ancló
en el arenal de mi soledad
Es sólo un niño que por primera vez
se asoma al dolor desde su candor
una carta más que no llegará
Es distancia y mar, torpe despertar
Es mi llanto, por fin, un viejo país
donde va feliz el niño que fui

If I Only Had Time
If I Only Had Time
Adapted from: Je N'aurai Pas Le Temps - 1967
Composer(s): Jack Fishman / Michel Fugain; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): John Rowles - 1968
and multiple other artists
Mm...
If I only had time, only time
So much to do
If I only had time, if I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time, they'd be mine
Time, like the wind, goes hurrying by
And the hours just fly
Where to begin?
There are mountains I'd climb if I had time
Since I met you I've thought
Life really is too short
Loving you so many things we could make true
A whole century isn't enough to satisfy me
If I only had time, only time, mm...

Là
Là
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
A me piaceva andare di notte ogni estate in riva al mare
Camminare e poi fermarmi ogni tanto lì
E pensare a cose inutili
A come è grande il mare
A che distanza c’è tra qua e là
Oppure com’è che è così strano il mondo
E come era strano esserci
Confondermi e perdermi
Sotto quel cielo e a tutte le stelle
Perdermi, riperdermi
Lontano da ogni cosa
Su una stella luminosa
Non esserci, non essere
Non esser mai nemmeno nato
Un punto solo, il più piccolo che c’è
Adesso sei con me
Come mi sento io qui davanti a te
Ancora più confuso per averti qui vicino a me
Come se avessi sedici anni
Per questo cederò ad ogni cosa, a tutto quello che dirai
Ad ogni spostamento che avrai
Perché voglio vederti stare bene, bene, bene, bene
E perdermi, confondermi
Insieme a te, il cielo e alle altre stelle
E perdermi, non perderti
Lontano da ogni cosa
Su una stella luminosa
Ed esserci, ed essere
Dentro di te e in ogni momento
Difenderti, difenderti anche da me
Per non perderti e perdonami
Se non sarò come vorrai
Perdonami, perdonami
Ma ti stringerò come nessuno farà mai
Per non perderti e tenerti qui sopra di me come una stella
Non perderti ed andare fino là … là

If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)
If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
If I only had the words to tell you
If you only had the time to understand
Though I know it wouldn't change your feelings
And I know you'll carry on the best you can
If I only had the urge to tell you
If you only know how hard it is to say
When the simple lines have all been taken
And the radio repeats them ev'ry day
If I never find the song to sing you
If you always find it hard to comprehend
Well you know there wouldn't be much meaning
If I had to sing those tired words again
Life goes on and on, and tonight will soon be gone
But if we try we can be sure
If I only had the words to tell you
If you only had the time to understand
But I only have these arms to hold you
And it's all that you can ask of any man

Performer(s): The Doors;
and various other artists
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blows
Where are the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel ... City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon

L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are liars
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman ...
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel Money Murder Madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'
Gone risin', risin'
I'm gone risin', risin'
I gotta risin', risin'
Well, risin', risin'
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blows
Where are the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel ... City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c'mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman, your my woman
Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman

If I Only Had A Heart
If I Only Had A Heart
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. Harburg
First performance by: Jack Haley - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kinda human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender
I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me
A balcony
Above a voice sings low
Where for art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat
How sweet
Just to register emotion
Jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart

L.A. International Airport
L.A. International Airport
Composer(s): Leanne Scott
Performer(s): Susan Raye; Lefty Frizzell
Standing in that silent hall
Waitin' for that final call
Says he doesn't love me anymore
Shakin' hands, I pack a bag
Tremblin' voice, I call a cab
Slowly I start walkin' through the door
The cab arrives, he blows his horn
I stumble out in the early morn'
Tell him of the place I've got to go
Hit a hundred signal lights
Peterbilts in a traffic fight
Gettin' to these doors has been so slow ...
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore
Stewardess in a mini-skirt
Hippie in a leather shirt
Starlet on her way to Naples, Rome
While I'm wonderin' where it's at
I see a Paris diplomat
College kids are tryin' to get back home
Baggage car goes quickly by
See my case and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm tryin' to get some rest
I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's makin' me leave home
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore
With Silver wings across the sky
Vapor trails that wave goodbye
To those below who've got to stay at home
I wish that I had flown at night
So I could take that Champagne flight
Rid myself of every tear I own
Soaring high above the heavens
In a seven-forty-seven
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so loud and clear
Amplifies into my ear
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore

If I Only Had A Brain
If I Only Had A Brain
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. Harburg
First performance by: Judy Garland & Ray Bolger - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
(Scarecrow:)
I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain;
Well, my head I'd be scratchin'
while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle
for ev'ry individdle
In trouble or in pain
(Dorothy:)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
(Scarecrow:)
Oh I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I would think of things
I never thought before
And then I'd sit
and think some more
I would not be just a nuthin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

(Loving You Is) Sunshine
(Loving You Is) Sunshine
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
Sunshine, loving you is sunshine
You make the dark clouds go away
Sunshine, having you is sunshine
Your love's my sunshine every day
When things go wrong they don't stay wrong too long
You always know what's right for me
When I feel down you bring your love around
And Darling, your sweet kiss can set me free
Sunshine, loving you is sunshine
You make the dark clouds go away
Sunshine, having you is sunshine
Your love's my sunshine every day
When drops of rain beat upon my windowpane
You have a way to make things right
I lose my cares sitting in a cozy chair
With your loving arms holding me tight
Sunshine, loving you is sunshine
You make the dark clouds go away
Sunshine, having you is sunshine
Your love's my sunshine every day

If I Never Sing Another Song
If I Never Sing Another Song
German Version: Gäb' Es Nur Noch Dieses Lied Für Mich
Composer(s): Alexandra; Don Black; Udo Jürgens
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
and multiple other artists
In my heyday
Young men wrote to me
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat
The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
Always posing, but you love it all
Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all
Everything I did the world applauded
Once upon a star
Framed citations, hung on every wall
Got a scrapbook full of quotes, I can recall them all
There were times I felt the world belonged to me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how

(Love Is) Thicker Than Water
(Love Is) Thicker Than Water
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Andy Gibb
Performer(s): Andy Gibb
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer's only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Say, my mind, should I go with her on silent nights
She'll drive me crazy in the end
And I should leave this paradise
But I can't leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That's what I'm living for
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamer's only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
(Instrumental Break)
Say my thought, should I find out she don't care at all
She'll leave me crying in the end
Wandering through the afterglow
But I can't leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That's what I'm praying for
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamer's only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Love is, higher than a mountain
Love is, thicker than water
You are this dreamer's only dream
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter

Gäb' Es Nur Noch Dieses Lied Für Mich
Gäb' Es Nur Noch Dieses Lied Für Mich
English Version: If I Never Sing Another Song
Composer(s): Thomas Christen; Udo Jürgens; Montana
Performer(s): Udo Jürgens
Das Publikum schenkte ihm Beifall
Doch niemand rief: "Wir wollen mehr!"
Um ihn ist es ruhiger geworden
Der Jubel, der Rausch - lange her
Ich suchte ihn hinter der Bühne
Mich hinderte niemand daran
Er saß vor dem Spiegel der Melancholie
"Wissen Sie, damals...", so fing er an
"Es waren Stürme der Begeisterung
Meine Lieder waren Hymen für mein Publikum
100.000 Augen wie die Sterne - unvorstellbar schön!
Ich war damals wie ein Vorbild
Und ich habe ihre Sehnsucht mit Musik gestillt
Sie können sich nicht vorstelln', was das für mich hieß
Verstehen Sie?"
"Gäb' es nur noch dieses Lied für mich
Und meine Fantasie
Ich wüßte gnaz genau, ihr kennt mich noch
Gäb' es nur noch dieses Lied für mich
Und diese Melodie
Alles ging' weiter, doch bitte sag'mir wie?"
Er nahm den Mantel
Und erzählte mir von Frauen und Preisen, Geld
Und manchem Souvenir
Wie eines schönen Tag's alles verloren war
Es war einmal ein Star...
Es gibt Fotos und ein Tagebuch
"Vielleicht verstehn' Sie
warum ich manchmal die Erinnerung such'
Nein, ich lüge nicht - mir hat die Welt gehört!
Verstehen Sie?"
[Refrain]
