If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You
If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You
Composer(s): Roger Cooke; Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): The Hollies
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're going
Wonder what you do
without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
left me feeling bitter
left me feeling so unhappy
'Cos if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
what good would telegrams and flowers do
If it wasn't for the reason
that I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you
Might as well stay
for a day or two
Find another friend
and have a drink or two
to pass the time
Talking over troubles
in a whiskey daze
a little drop of cognac
helps a man to face the lonely times
'Cause it's sad being home
and I've given up trying
I've got no lyin'
that I wanna do
If it wasn't for the reason
that I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you
Wish I could find a way
Make up the words to say
You cheated and you lied
You took away the little pride
I had inside
If it wasn't for the reason
that I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you

El Reloj
El Reloj
((French Version: Pardon (Dalida) - 1958))
Composer(s): Roberto Cantoral
Performer(s): Luis Miguel - 1997
Reloj no marques las horas
porque voy a enloquecer
ella sé ira para siempre
cuando amanezca otra vez
Nomas nos queda esta noche
para vivir nuestro amor
y tu tictac me recuerda
mi irremediable dolor
Reloj detén tu camino
porque mi vida se apaga
ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser
yo sin su amor no soy nada
Deten el tiempo en tus manos
haz esta noche perpetua
para que nunca se vaya de mí
para que nunca amanezca
Reloj detén tu camino...

If It Wasn't For The 'Ouses In Between
If It Wasn't For The 'Ouses In Between
Composer(s): Edgar Bateman; George LeBrunn
Performer(s): Gus Elen; Mr. Maurice Browning; Musical Murrays
If you saw my little backyard
"Wot a pretty spot", you'd cry
It's a picture on a sunny summer day
Wiv the turnip tops and cabbages
Wot people doesn't buy
I makes it on a Sunday look all gay
The neighbours finks I grow 'em
And you'd fancy you're in Kent
Or at Epsom if you gaze into the mews
It's a wonder as the landlord
Doesn't want to raise the rent
Because we have such nobby distant views
Oh! it really is a wery pretty garden
And Chingford to the Eastward could be seen
Wiv a ladder and some glasses
You could see to 'Ackney Marshes
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between
We're as countrified as can be
Wiv a clothes prop for a tree
The tub-stool makes a rustic little stile
Ev'ry time the blooming clock strikes
There's a cuckoo sings to me
And I've painted up "To Leather Lane A Mile"
Wiv tomatoes and wiv radishes
Wot 'adn't any sale
The backyard looks a purfick mass o' bloom
And I've made a little beehive
Wiv some beetles in a pail
And a pitchfork wiv the 'andle of a broom
Oh! it really is a wery pretty garden
And Rye 'Ouse from the cock-loft could be seen
Where the chickweed man undresses
To bathe 'mong the water cresses
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between
There's the bunny shares his egg box
Wiv the cross-eyed cock and hen
Though they 'as got the pip and him the 'morf
In a dog's 'ouse on the line-post
There was pigeons, nine or ten
Till someone took a brick and knocked it off
The dust cart though it seldom comes
Is just like 'Arvest 'Ome
And we made to rig a dairy up some'ow
Put the donkey in the wash'ouse
Wiv some imitation 'orns,
For we're teaching im to moo just like a kah
Oh! it really is a wery pretty garden
And 'Endon to the westward could be seen
And by clinging to the chimbley
You could see across to Wembley
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between
Though the gasworks is at Woolwich
They improve the rural scene
For mountains they would very nicely pass
There's the mushrooms in the dust-hole
With the cowumbers so green
It only wants a bit 'o 'ot 'ouse glass
I wears this milkman's nightshirt
And I sits outside all day
Like the ploughboy cove what's mizzled o'er the Lea
And when I goes indoors at night
They dunno what I say
'Cause my language gets as yokel as can be
Oh! it really is a wery pretty garden
And soapworks from the 'ousetops could be seen
If I got a rope and pulley
I'd enjoy the breeze more fully
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between

Composer(s): Juan Del Moral - Silvano Ramos - Emilio d'Uranga - Bartley Costello
Performer(s): Dean Martin - 1963
and multiple other artists
I love to roam out yonder
Out where the Buff'lo wander
Free as the Eagle flying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
Give me my ranch and my cattle
Far from the great city's rattle
Give me a big herd to battle
For I just love herding the cattle
I love to roam out yonder
Out where the Buff'lo wander
Free as the Eagle flying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
Give me my bridle and saddle
And my old Pinto I'll straddle
I'll get the cowboys a-riding
Out where the rustlers are hiding
I love to roam out yonder
Out where the Buff'lo wander
Free as the Eagle flying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
I'm a-roping and a-tying
Sometimes the winter storms tearing
Set all the cattle a-raring
But when the winter is over
We're sure enough in the clover
Allà en el rancho grande
Allà donde vivia
Habia una ranche rita
Que alegre me decia
Que alegre me decia

If It Makes Any Difference
If It Makes Any Difference
Composer(s): Harold Reid; Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
If it makes any difference
And I'm sure that it won't
If you think I laugh and take it light
You're wrong this time I don't
Look at me if you're still looking
For the place the blame should fall
I'm sick and simply sorry
If it makes any difference at all
If it makes any difference
About me and you
If it makes any difference
Anymore what'll I do
Knowing how I made you feel it's plain
Feel about so tall
I'm sorry and I love you
If it makes any difference at all
If it makes any difference
I was wrong from the start
These aren't just sweet talking words
These are from the heart
I've walked around the truth before
But this time I'm ready to crawl
What else can I say but I'm sorry
If it makes any difference at all
If it makes any difference
About me and you
If it makes any difference
Anymore what'll I do
Knowing how I made you feel it's plain
Feel about so tall
I'm sorry and I love you
If it makes any difference at all

El Que Queda Solo
El Que Queda Solo
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
El que queda solo en navidad
en su casa o por la ciudad
Ay por quien, ay por quien, por quien
Brindara
El que vive sin importarle
todo lo que sufren los demas
Ay por quien, ay por quien, por quien
Vivira
El que grita solo en un rincon
sin que nadie lo pueda escuchar
Ay por quien, ay por quien, por quien
Gritara
El que pierde toda su humildad
por tener la suerte de triunfar
Ay por quien, ay por quien, por quien
cantara

If It Ain't Love (Let's Leave It Alone)
If It Ain't Love (Let's Leave It Alone)
Composer(s): Val Burton; Will Jason
Performer(s): Billie Jo Spears
and multiple other artists
If it ain't love then let's don't even let it start
Let's leave it alone
If it ain't love then let's don't temp our foolish hearts
Let's leave it alone
Happiness is free just like a rollin' stone
And only love can make it stay at home
Feelin's have a way of mixin' right with wrong
If it ain't love let's leave it alone
If it ain't love...
Togetherness can fade like the music of a song
It comes and goes like the breaking of the dawn
How could we hang on to somethin' that was gone
If it ain't love let's leave it alone
If it ain't love...
If it ain't love...

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
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
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

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

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

Et comprends que dans ta voix
Tu veux que je partes en voyage

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

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

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
