El Que Pierde Una Mujer
El Que Pierde Una Mujer
Composer(s): Luis Arcaraz - Ernesto Cortázar
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists
El que pierde a una mujer no sabe lo que gana
pues si se nos va un querer, otro vendrá mañana
Dale amor a una mujer y verás como te paga
o te engaña o te empalaga o se busca otro querer
El que no quiera sufrir que se mire en este espejo
yo no más doy el consejo por si lo quieren seguir
Si estás próximo a perder no lo dejes pa` mañana
pues no sabes lo que gana el que pierde a una mujer
El que no quiera sufrir que se mire en este espejo
yo no más doy el consejo por si lo quieren seguir
Si estás próximo a perder no lo dejes pa` mañana
pues no sabes lo que gana el que pierde a una mujer

If I'd Only Come And Gone
If I'd Only Come And Gone
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show; Tompall Glaser; Earl Scruggs
If I'd only come and gone
The way I'd always done
With summer girls before
Shared one night with you
And never reached for more
Then we wouldn't face this long
And painful righting of the wrong
If I'd only come and gone
If I hadn't stayed so long
But merely parked my dusty boots
Outside your door
Tracked no footprints 'cross
Your polished hardwood floor
I'd have left you in your doorway
Smilin' drowsy at the dawn
If I'd only come and gone
And I'd be on a shinin' silver plane
Dippin' into Denver
Or on a schooner blowin' down
To Biscayne Bay
And you'd be safely tucked away
Among the pleasure I'd remember
'Stead of lyin' here beside me
Fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin'
Of each new day
If you'd only stopped to read
Cold hard words I carved
On other bedroom walls
And heard the mornin' coffee truths
I told 'em all
I'd still be on your lips
Like some unfinished
Half-remembered song
You'd have never loved me
If I'd only come and gone

El Que Pierde La Inocencia
El Que Pierde La Inocencia
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
Me vine remontando en un hilo marrón del río
a la reina del Plata, a no estar mas con los míos
era hijo de un pueblo de una simple mirada
y un acorde disonante se metió en mi palabra
con letra desafinada se durmió en mi corazón
El que pierde la inocencia y la sinceridad
es un huerfano solitario que no puede ya cantar
el que esconde la sonrisa bajo un arbol sin flor
corre el riesgo de estar pálido sin las caricias del sol
sin las caricias del sol
Me vine remontando en un hilo marrón del río
a la reina del Plata, a no estar mas con los míos
cuanto tiempo ha pasado para un día darme cuenta
que ha la suerte de nacer en un lugar cualquiera
pase lo que pase es mas lindo recordarla y quererla
El que pierde la inocencia y la sinceridad
es un huerfano solitario que no puede ya cantar
el que esconde la sonrisa bajo un arbol sin flor
corre el riesgo de estar pálido sin las caricias del sol
sin las caricias del sol

If I'd Been The One
If I'd Been The One
Composer(s): Don Barnes; Jeff Carlisi; Larry Steele; Donnie Van Zant
Performer(s): .38 Special
I've been lost inside, empty space in my heart
And some things never change, no
How it hurts me and how it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind? Oh oh
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain, oh
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind
Did you think I'd just give up
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away, Fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away, never fades away, no it don't fade away

El Problema
El Problema
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El problema
El problema no es
si te buscas o no más problemas
El problema no es
ser capaz de volver a empezar
El problema no es
vivir demostrando
a uno que te exige
y anda mendigando
El problema no es
repetir el ayer
como fórmula para salvarse
El problema no es jugar a darse
El problema no es de ocasión
El problema señor
sigue siendo sembrar amor
El problema no es
de quien vino y se fue o viceversa
El problema no es
de los niños que ostentan papás
El problema no es
de quien saca cuenta y recuenta
y a su bolsillo
suma lo que resta
El problema no es de la moda mundial
ni de que haya tan mala memoria
El problema no queda en la gloria
ni en que falten tesón y sudor
El problema señor
sigue siendo sembrar amor
El problema no es
despeñarse en abismos de ensueño
porque hoy no llegó
al futuro sangrado de ayer
El problema no es
que el tiempo sentencie extravío
cuando hay juventudes
soñando desvíos
El problema no es
darle un hacha al dolor
y hacer leña con todo y la palma
El problema vital es el alma
El problema es de resurrección
El problema señor
será siempre
sembrar amor

If I Were Your Woman
If I Were Your Woman
Composer(s): Gloria Jones; Pam Sawyer; Clarence McMurray
First release by: Gladys Knight & The Pips - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
If I were your woman and you were my man
You'd have no other woman, you'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strength to walk out that door
My love would overrule my sense and I'd call you back for more
If I were your woman
If I were your woman and you were my man
She tears you down darlin', says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up darlin' when she lets you fall
You're like a diamond, but she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you, but me, you don't ask
If I were your woman, if I were your woman
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do
I'd never no no stop loving you
Life is so crazy, a love is unkind
Because she came first darlin' will she hang on your mind
You're a part of me and you don't even know it
I'm what you need, but I'm too afraid to show it
If I were your woman, if I were your woman
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do
I'd never no no stop loving you

El Pozo
El Pozo
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael
Tan cerca de mí te he tenido siempre
Tan cerca de mí que no pude ver
Que eras tú el amor, ese gran amor
Que he buscado siempre y no encontré
Yo buscaba amor con el mismo afán
Que rescata el mar sus olas de la playa
Y no lo encontré, y no lo encontraba
Porque nunca en ti pensé
Hay que aprovechar las horas que perdimos
Y recuperar el tiempo que se fue
Y querernos más que nadie se ha querido
En un sólo día y una sola vez
Cómo no pensé que tú me esperabas
Ni escuché el amor que había en tus palabras
Cómo si eras tú lo que yo buscaba
Cómo no lo pude ver
Que eras tú el amor, ese gran amor
Que he buscado siempre y no encontré

If I Were You
If I Were You
Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Sonny Throckmorton; Brent Maher
Performer(s): The Judds
If I were you
I’d think it over
Take your time
Before you leave
Everyone wants the perfect lover
If I were you
I’d fall in love with me
If I were you
I’d just remember
Don’t miss the forest for the trees
The mighty flame
Was once an ember
If I were you I’d fall in love with me
If I were you
I’d wisper sweet I love you’s everyday
If I were you, I’d never ever let me get away
If I were you
I’d look me over
There's much more than what you see
I can prove you’ll need no other
If I were you I’d fall in love with me

Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Mon cœur enfermé dans ta cage
Mon cœur tu sembles gai
Pourquoi brusquement ce langage
Qu'as-tu donc à me raconter
Dis-moi, dis-moi quel secret te fait battre de joie
Dis-moi, s'il te plaît qui tu aim's réponds-moi
Comment fais-tu réponds-moi
Porompompon! Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero!
Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero
Porom, pero, pero pon
Je sais moi aussi qu'ell' est belle
Mais toi tu me parles d'amour
Si toi tu ne bats que pour elle
Moi j'ai peur de souffrir un jour
Dis-moi, dis-moi quelles sont les raisons de ton choix
Comment es-tu sûr qu'elle m'aime déjà
Comment sais-tu réponds-moi!
Porompompon! Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero!
Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero
Porom, pero, pero pon
Mon cœur j'ai reçu ton message
Et comprends que dans ta voix
Tu veux que je partes en voyage
Avec un amour à mon bras
Dis-moi, dis-moi que son cœur en accord avec toi
Est comme un écho qui répond à ta voix
Mon cœur redoublons de joie
Porompompon! Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero!
Porom poron, pero, pero, pero, pero
Porom, pero, pero pon

If I Were A Rich Man
If I Were A Rich Man
(French Version: Si J'avais Des Millions - 1968)
Composer(s): Jerry Bock; Sheldon M. Harnick
First release by: Zero Mostel - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Tevye:
"Dear God, you made many, many poor people
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor
But it's no great honor either!
So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"
If I were a rich man
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of the town
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
There would be one long staircase just going up
And one even longer coming down
And one more leading nowhere, just for show
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear
And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"
If I were a rich man
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man
I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin
Supervising meals to her heart's delight
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
Oy, what a happy mood she's in
Screaming at the servants, day and night
The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them
Like a Solomon the Wise
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong
When you're rich, they think you really know!
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day
That would be the sweetest thing of all
If I were a rich man
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

El Poeta
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqu
Performer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
and multiple other artists
Tú piensas que eres distinto
porque te dicen poeta
y tienes un mundo aparte
más allá de las estrellas
De tanto mirar la luna
ya nada sabes mirar
Eres como un pobre ciego
que no sabe adónde va
Vete a mirar los mineros
los hombres en el trigal
y cántales a los que luchan
por un pedazo de pan
Poeta de tiernas rimas
vete a vivir a la selva
y aprenderás muchas cosas
del hachero y sus miserias
Vive junto con el pueblo
no lo mires desde afuera
que lo primero es ser hombre
y lo segundo, poeta
De tanto mirar la luna
ya nada sabes mirar
Eres como un pobre ciego
que no sabe adónde va

If I Were A Moose
If I Were A Moose
Composer(s): Fred Small
Performer(s): Fred Small
If I were a moose and you were a cow
Would you love me anyhow?
Would you introduce me to your folks
Would you tell your friends "No moose jokes!"
If I were a moose and you were a cow
Would you invite me to your club
And risk a cruel bovine snub
Would you lead me down the receiving line
And boldly boast "This moose is mine!"
Would your parents watch us graze
Shake their heads, "It's just a phase"
Or would they thank the stars above
Their precious heifer's found her love?
Would your grandparents change their will?
They'd really expected a Holstein bull
"For this we toiled before the plow
You bring home someone who's not even a cow
There's lot's of proper stock around
Like that nice young Guernsey at Farmer Brown's
Or that last one we ridiculed and cursed
On second thought you could do worse
But if you think this thing will last
Could he learn to moo and eat our grass
Shed his antlers in the dirt
Could you persuade him to convert?"
If our anatomies did not quite fit
Would you make the best of it
Would you nuzzle up so near
And hum sweet cow tunes in my ear?
Or would you sadly break it off
When all the hillside sneered and scoffed
"You know those moose are all the same
They're lazy, they're stupid, they come from Maine"
It's true things slip a moose's mind
That cows remember all the time
Bulbous nose and knobby knees
A coat that harbors ticks and fleas
But a moose can be a handy thing
When hungry wolves come visiting
In icy gust of winter storm
Our fur is deep and dry and warm
And someday should your milk run dry
And farmer stare with baleful eye
In dead of night I'd slip your noose
And lead you home to the land of moose
If I were a moose and you were a cow
If hunters came to do me harm
Would you hide me in the barn
Would all the herd come on the run
And glare until they dropped their guns?
Might you permit a goodnight kiss
Could you learn to love wet moose lips?
If I were a moose and you were a cow
If you were a cow and I were a moose

El Podér De Los Sueños
El Podér De Los Sueños
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Hay una luz, en algún lugar adonde van los sueños de la humanidad
Hay una luz dentro de ti adonde van los sueños que van a venir
para volver a despertar
no te olvides: nunca dejes de soñar, nunca dejes de soñar
Hay una luz que no se ve, brilla desde adentro desde la niñez
hay una luz en algún lugar, allí donde los sueños se hacen realidad
Más allá del sol, más allá del mar, más allá del tiempo sé que hay un lugar
donde quiero ir, donde quiero estar, hoy la fantasía se hace realidad...

If I Were A King
If I Were A King
Composer(s): Joe Bataan; Nitollano
Performer(s): Joe Bataan
If I were a king (if I were a king)
I'd tear me crown
And if I were a millionaire, oh baby (oh baby)
You'd own all that I own
Just tell me that you care
And you're going where I want to
If you say you love me (tell me you love me)
I'll give you that as ???? girl
Just whisper that you want me
And you'll be me girl
And, you can have pearls in your hand
Just as long as I'm your man
Darling, there is gonna be no rule in the whole wide world
That's gonna stop this guy from walking against you
There's gonna be no river deep enough baby
That I can't swim, to be beside you
(If I were a king ) (If I I were a king)
And if that's all to ????, I write a song to you
I'll climb the last mountain top
And shout up there that I love you, you
If I were a pet, girl
I ???? for you ?????
And if I were a poor boy, I'd offer you a toy
But, nothing's gonna stop me, yeah
To try to get next to you, oh
Just as long as I can, I'm your man
That's right darling
There"s gonna be no rule long enough in the whole wide world
That's gonna stop this guy from getting to you
Believe me, you found a king
And if all the riches and all the treasures in the whole wide world
Aren't enough to satisfy you, darling
But you can have my heart
And believe me, yes you better believe
With my heart you can go a long, long way
I'm telling you
All it's gonna take, all it's gonna take
Is for you to be my queen
Let this daddy here be your king

El Pintor De Las Mujeres Soles
El Pintor De Las Mujeres Soles
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El pintor de las mujeres soles
abandonado en su empecinada claridad
Hizo su último viaje ya muy solo
sobre el Atlántico
y fue sepultado cuando llegó
El pintor brilloso como la Luna
con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo
Escupió al cangrejo desde un dibujo
y le puso fecha a su despedida
Y siguió queriendo aunque no fue amado
ni como ser humano
Y siguió aprendiendo el camino de la soledad
en todo momento
Y se fue entre ceras alucinantes
con su pelo largo con su barba culta de polvo
Descargando gritos sobre las armas
mientras los beatos se persignaban
y el no tuvo iglesias
pero algo de altares al amor
hubo entre sus lienzos
Y en la fantasía iba platicando su viaje
hacia el universo
El pintor de las enredaderas de luz escribió
sus últimos signos con triste desesperación
Y dejó sus restos a los amigos
y dejó sus restos a los amigos
pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos
pidiéndole sólo paredes para sostenerlos

If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade
would you still find me
carrin' the pots I made
followin' behind me
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would
I'll put you above me"
If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding
would you miss your color box
and your soft shoe shining?
If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?

Se terminó el camino y no logré encontrarte
las sombras del recuerdo se agigantaron más
Y yo desesperado perdido en lo perdido
con los ojos marchitos de llorar y llorar
Te busqué entre las sombras te busqué en el pecado
te busqué entres las almas te busqué en el dolor
Y si no he de encontrarte porque tú ya no existas
que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios
Te busqué entre las sombras te busqué en el pecado
te busqué entres las almas te busqué en el dolor
Y si no he de encontrarte porque tú ya no existas
que se extingan los cielos que me perdone Dios

Se io fossi un falegname e tu una signora
tu credi davvero che mi vorresti ancora
avresti negli occhi la stessa dolcezza
oppure sarebbe soltanto tristezza
No non mi rispondere forse non lo sai
preferisco non crederlo non rispondermi mai
Se tu amassi un povero dimmi saresti tu
o saresti un'altra che vorrebbe di più
e quello che ti offro é importante per te
o vivi soltanto veramente per me
No non mi rispondere...
Se io fossi un falegname e tu una signora
tu credi davvero che mi vorresti ancora
avresti negli occhi la stessa dolcezza
oppure sarebbe soltanto tristezza
No non mi rispondere...
