El Vigía
El Vigía
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Agua me pide el retoño
que tuvo empezar amargo
va a hacer falta un buen otoño
tras un verano tan largo
El verde se está secando
y el viento sur se demora
pero yo sigo esperando
que lleguen cantando
la lluvia y mi hora
Yo soy de un oficio viejo
como el arrollo y el viento
como el ave y el espejo
como el amor y el invento
yo solo soy un vigía
amigo del jardinero
con la pupila en el día
que llegará el aguacero
yo solo soy un vigía
amigo del jardinero
Agua me pide el retoño
que tuvo empezar amargo
va a hacer falta un buen otoño
tras un verano tan largo
El verde se está secando
y el viento sur se demora
pero yo sigo esperando
que lleguen cantando
la lluvia y mi hora

If You And I Could Be As Two
If You And I Could Be As Two
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Them
Was on a Sunday
And the autumn leaves were on the ground
I kicked my heart
When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through
What is this feeling, a-what can I do?
If you an' I, could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all
And more I would do, oh yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
And baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together?
A-walkin' through the park
A-baby then, then we could sing
Give ya' all my money
Ev'rything in the world that I had
You told me, "That don't mean a thing"
If still in darkness we could run
Together, there in that mornin' sun
I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you
Whoa-yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
Could be as two
Could be as two
Could be as two
Baby

El Viento, El Tiempo
El Viento, El Tiempo
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No se trata de hallar un culpable
las historias no acaban porque alguien
escriba la palabra "fin"
No siempre hay un asesino
algunas veces toca morir...
lo que viene se va
como suele pasar
el viento, el viento
Márchate si ha llegado la hora
date prisa que, como ya sabes
es muy impaciente el amor...
No malgastes ni un segundo
después de daría cuerda al reloj
que un cumplido de más
no te vaya a robar
el tiempo, el tiempo
Y no queda nada
las espinas, las rosas
se las llevó
el viento, el tiempo...
Ahora sólo la vida te espera
con los brazos abiertos y el firme deseo
de hacerte feliz
Puedes irte cuando quieras
no hay muros que te impidan salir...
y no mires atrás
que te ya a despeinar
el viento, el viento
Qué difícil decirte "hasta luego'
cuando no es el terror de perderte
este miedo a no verte jamás
Ya no hay puntos suspensivos
llegó el rotundo punto final...
cuando la soledad
sólo espera matar
el tiempo, el tiempo
Y no queda nada...

If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')
If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')
Composer(s): Tommy Collins
Performer(s): Faron Young
and multiple other artists
If you got a Cadillac, boy
And a forty room shack, boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or muggin'
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If you're ridin' on a gravy train
'Stead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hay, boy
You're goin' the wrong way, boy
You gotta get a little honey
It's better than money
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If they called you a big man
'Cause you got a lotta "bottom land"
If you're kin to the president
And you help run the government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cars
And you're smokin' them four-bit cigars
Well you ain't so well to do
That you got a little koo-chi-koo
Takes a little bit of smackin'
All your life's a-lackin'
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Well, brother, then you ain't livin'

El Viento Eres Tú
El Viento Eres Tú
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Santiago Feliú; Silvio Rodríguez
A veces entra en el bosque un silbido veloz
que recorre fugaz la penumbra y la luz
y los árboles fríos del bosque soy yo
Todas las copas se postran a fin de existir
de no hacerlo, deshechas habrían de morir
y ese viento que trae la muerte eres tú
Eres la llama que abraza la flor
y la violencia del fiero huracán
la sombra oscura que sigue mi amor
Por qué, por qué tú sigues, di
matando este amor que hoy dejas

If We Try
If We Try
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter
I've been living memories
Lost in the warm of your smile
Driftin' through the dreams we used to share
Thinkin' 'bout the times we
spent in love without a care
And wishin' you were there
So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try
Summer time was feelin' good
Holdin' the world in our hands
Seemed like what we had was growin' strong
Never even crossed our minds that
love would soon be gone
I guess that we were wrong
So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try
So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight,
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
(I'll be by your side)
'Cause we've got all those memories to guide us
And we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

El Viejo Matías
El Viejo Matías
Composer(s): Victor Heredia
Performer(s): Victor Heredia; Cuarteto Zupay; Luciano Pereyra
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos
corriendo furiosos por el terraplén
y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento
él se acomodaba su uniforme gris
El viejo Matías duerme en cualquier parte
un fantasma errante le toca la piel
pero cuando llueve sus despojos buscan
la estación de chapas de Paso del Rey
Es cuco de niños y de no tan niños
su figura triste cruzando el andén
porque nadie ha visto sus ojos cansados
la cruz del olvido temblando en sus pies
A veces murmura cosas incoherentes
habla de la guerra, imita al cañón
y otras veces pone en sus ojos un niño
y acuna en sus brazos su bolso marrón
Cuando llegan los trenes repletos de obreros
se pone contento, brilla su mirar
Gorrión de la tarde, quiere hablar con todos
y después se queda solo en el andén
Se queda mirando las vías vacías
la luz que se pierde del tren que pasó
y después se aleja murmurando cosas
el viejo Matías, ogro del lugar
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos
corriendo furiosos por el terraplén
y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento
él se acomodaba su uniforma gris

If We Only Have Love
If We Only Have Love
(Adapted from: Quand On N'a Que l'Amour - 1957)
(South-African Version: Om Met Liefde Alleen - 2007)
Composer(s): Jacques Brel; Mort Shuman; Eric Blau
Performer(s): Elly Stone, Mort Shuman, Shawn Elliott, Alice Whitfield - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears
If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side
If we only have love
Love that's falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth
Will grow green again
If we only have love
For the hymn that we shout
For the song that we sing
Then we'll have a way out
If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons
If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And then death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns
If we only have love
Then we'll only be men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again
Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars

El Viajero
El Viajero
Composer(s): A. Segura - A. Algueró
Performer(s): Raphael
Yo quiero ser el viajero
De mil caminos sin rumbo
Que pateando senderos
Llegó a salirse del mundo
Aquel viajero estrenaba
Cada día un horizonte
Cada atardecer el alma
Y una estrella cada noche
No llevaba ni mochila
Ni sombrero ni bastón
Su equipaje era su vida
Que unas veces era piedra
Y otras veces era flor
No se paraba más tiempo
Que para hacer un amigo
Y para envidia del viento
Seguía estrenando caminos

If We Can't Be The Same Old Sweethearts (We'll Just Be The Same Old Friends)
Composer(s): Jimmie V. Monaco; Joseph McCarthy
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists
If we can't be the same old sweethearts
then we'll just be the same old friends!
For I want someone like you
just to tell my troubles to
my happiness, on you
it all depends!
For I've known you too long to forget you
and my old dream of love never ends!
Though I know you can't be mine
we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!
For I've known you too long to forget you
and my old dream of love never ends!
Though I know you can't be mine
we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!

El Verde De Tus Ojos
El Verde De Tus Ojos
Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti
Performer(s): Raphael
El verde de tus ojos y el negro de tu pelo
Me trajeron recuerdos tan felices
Que contigo yo volveré a vivir
El verde de tus ojos y el negro de tu pelo
Me trajeron la luz que no existía
Y con ella mi amor vuelve a nacer
Cuando te vi, pronto comprendí
Que mi gran dolor daba paso al amor
Ahora sé que siempre tendré los besos
Que sin descanso busqué hasta el fin
Ya encontré lo que un día yo perdí
Vuelvo a sonreír, vuelvo a revivir
Hoy será el comienzo de esta ilusión
Porque la soledad no volverá

If Walls Could Talk
If Walls Could Talk
Composer(s): Bobby Miller
First release by: Little Milton - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
If walls could talk then I'm sure you'd hear
A whole lot of things that would make you cry, my dear
So ain't you glad, ooh, ain't you glad
That walls don't talk
No they never talk
If doors could tell who turned the knobs
When he's away, working on his job
Now ain't you glad, oh, you ought to be glad
That doors don't talk
No, they don't
You know, if cars could say just who's been inside
And exactly whom has been taken for a ride
Now ain't you glad, I know you ought to be glad
That cars don't talk
Oh no, they don't talk
If shoes could tell, tell where they've been
When you claim that you were visiting a friend
Now ain't you glad, oh ain't you glad
That shoes don't talk
No, they just walk
Well, in a world of trouble we'd be if things ever told on me
My love life would be through 'cos I'm guilty, how about you?
If things ever talked that way
Ain't no telling what they might say
So ain't you glad, everybody ought to be glad
That things don't talk
I tell you, they don't talk about you
Oh I'm so glad
I'm so very glad
That things don't talk

If Those Lips Could Only Speak
If Those Lips Could Only Speak
Composer(s): Charles Ridgewell; Will Godwin
Performer(s): Foster & Allen
and multiple other artists
If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were here in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame
He stood in a beautiful mansion
Surrounded by riches untold
As he gazed at a beautiful picture
That hung in a frame of gold
Was a picture of a lady
So beautiful young and fair
To this beautiful lifelike picture
He murmured in sad despair
If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were here in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame
With all his great powers and his riches
He knows he can never replace
One thing in the mansion that's absent
His wife's tender smiling face
And each time he sees her picture
These same words he'll always say
"All my wealth I would freely forfeit
And toil for you night and day"
If those lips could only speak
If those eyes could only see
If those beautiful golden tresses
Were here in reality
Could I only take your hand
As I did when you took my name
But it's only a beautiful picture
In a beautiful golden frame
He stood there and gazed on that picture
And slumbering forgetting all pain
For there in that mansion of fancy
She stood by his side again
His lips then softly murmured
The name of his once sweet bride
With his eyes fixed on that picture
He awoke from his sleep and he cried

El Vagabundo
El Vagabundo
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Conozco un
vagabundo del espacio
recorre el universo en
su asteroide
sin órbita ni puerto ni
partida
daba la soledad
con todo el frío de su
vida
Un día llegó un pájaro
a su isla
dentro de un pomo
que cabía en su mano
daba tristeza verlo allí
encogido
cantándole al silencio
sin respuesta, sin
sentido
El vagabundo nunca
oyó a su pájaro
y lo veía cantar tras los
cristales
hasta que un día pudo
más su sueño
y lo libró de la
escafandra blanca
de animales
El pájaro flotó hasta
congelarse
como las lágrimas del
vagabundo
entonces metió al
pájaro en la jaula
y lo soltó a la suerte
con que vino
sin comprender jamás
lo sucedido

If This Isn't Love
If This Isn't Love
Composer(s): E.Y. 'Yip' Harburg; Burton Lane
Performer(s): Ella Logan, Donald Richards, Lynn Murray
and multiple other artists
A secret, a secret, he says I've got a little secret
A secret, a secret, a secret kind of secret
I' aching for to shout it to every daffodil
And tell the world about it, in fact I think I will
If this isn't love, the whole world is crazy
If this isn't love, I'm daft as a daisy
With moons all a-round and cows jumping over
There's something amiss, and I'll eat my hat if this isn't love
If this isn't love, then winter is a summer
If this isn't love, my heart needs a plumber
I'm swinging on stars, I'm riding on rainbows
I'm busting with bliss and I'll kiss your hand if this isn't love

El Universo Es Un Rastro De Hierros
El Universo Es Un Rastro De Hierros
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Parece que las cosas nunca
se ponen en su sitio
pues solo cambian de lugar
por un tiempo limitado
Cuando etán mucho rato
en el mismo rincón
cogen moho debajo
y les salen arañas
y les salen culebras
y bichos peligrosos
Por eso hay ese lleva y trae
por todos lados
Por eso el universo es un
rastro de hierros
lleno de hormigas que no
duermen y trabajan
que pujan, levantan y llevan
que vuelven a pujar lo mismo
Parece que las cosas nunca
se ponen en su sitio

If There Were No Dreams
If There Were No Dreams
Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Michel Legrand
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
If there were no dreams
and there were no dreamers
then how could I dream you up?
You're still a mystery to me
The way that we love
the life that we're leading
I don't want to give you up
Whatever I have to do, I'll do
Put a mountain there, and I'll tear it down
If it's much too high, then I'll go around
I won't stop for anyone or anything
And I'd love you even if
there were no dreams
If there were no dreams
how could we be lovers?
And how could I need you so?
The reason's clear to even me
I'll know that it's right
You don't need to wonder
If you're up against that wall
I'm gonna be up against it, too
If a mountain's there
we can tear it down
If it's much too high
then we'll go around
We won't stop for anyone or anything
We'd be lovers even if
there were no dreams
Yes, we would
lovers even if there were no dreams
