I'm A Loser


I'm A Loser
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Estrada De Santana


Estrada De Santana
Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia - Brandão Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar
Ao meio dia no silêncio de um lugar
Sozinho e sozinho esperou
Que a noite trouxesse a esperança de um sonho
E a companhia do lugar
Sabe o tamanho da estrada que há na frente
Desaparece num mato sem fim
Sem jamais entender o que alguém perdeu
E perdeu e ficou assim

Assim eu sei felicidade
Não posso te encontrar
Eu te quero, eu te espero
Mas sou eu que não posso voltar

Não não não passo a estrada velha de Santana
Não não não quero o cemitério do Alecrim
Cada braço de riacho engana
Traz na água uma cantiga assim
Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar...

Tonight Is The Night


Tonight Is The Night
Performer(s): Betty Wright



First of all I’d like to say good evening
And we’re so pleased that
So many of you could come out and share
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
We want you to have a real good time
‘Cause that’s just what we have in mind
Is that alright with you
Now, this is a tune that I composed
And it’s called
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman
Now I never intended recording this song
It was a personal poem
This is until the day that my producer
Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
He came across the words and he said
“We got to somethin’ with these words
It’s happening every day
And people wanna hear about it, Betty”
You see, it’s the story of a young girl
Making love for the very first time
Now when I finally got a melody
I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
You see I come from one of those pretty large families
And I’m the baby of the family
And you know you never grow up to your mother
I’ll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
She said, “Uh, I like the music
You know, baby, the melody it’s really nice
But I know you’re not gonna sing that song”
But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
And it became one of my biggest records too
So I want you to do this for me if you will
Everybody think back to your very first time
Now I’ll give you a little while longer
‘Cause I know some of you
Have to think back a little further than others
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
‘Cause I don’t want you waitin’ till I get to the end of my song
Sayin’, “Oh, yeah, now I remember”
Now whether it was good
Or you just smilin’ it was good
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
Here’s my story

Hmm... hmm... mmm... mmm...

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, mmm... mmm...

I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still, no

I can hear your car door slammin’
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just can’t help actin’ like a child

You’re knockin’ on my door and you’re ringin’ my bell
Hope you’re not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we’re both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm... mmm...
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
Tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still

Mmm... hey, baby
Ho, ho, baby
Ho... yeah... yeah...

Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
And catch us doin’ what we’re doin’
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship it’ll all be ruined
But we’ve gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to turn around
So let’s just pray
That true love is what we’ve found

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Ho, I’ll never forget tonight
No, no, I’ll never forget tonight
That’s when you make me feel real, mmm... hmm...
You make me feel real, real good
Oh... oh... whoa... oh... oh... whoa... whoa...
Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
Said I’ve got to thank your love
‘Cause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
I love you and I know it
And I ain’t too proud to show it
‘Cause I love you, baby
And I need you, baby
I want you, my love, my love
My, my, my baby
I’ll never forget tonight
No, I’ll never forget tonight
‘Cause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
You make me feel real good
And I love you, baby
‘Cause you gave me
Uh, uh, pure love, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, pure love
Said I like that, baby
Uh, uh, pure love
Said I need that, sugar
Uh-uh-uh, pure love
There’s nothin’ phony about it
Uh-uh, pure love

Your love I can’t do without it
Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh

I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
And I ain’t too proud to show it

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Mmm... mmm... mmm...

Thank you
Thank you

I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow
I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow

Estrada De Canindé


Estrada De Canindé
Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga - Humberto Teixeira
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Dominguinhos; Luiz Gonzaga



Ai, ai, que bom
Que bom, que bom que é
Uma estrada e uma cabocla
uma gente andando a pé
Ai, ai, que bom
Que bom, que bom que é
Uma estrada e a lua branca
No sertão de Canindé
Artomove lá nem se sabe sié homi ou sié muié
Quem é rico anda em burrico
Quem é pobre anda a pé

Mas o pobre vê nas estrada
O orvaio beijando as fulô
Vê de perto o galo-campina
Que quando canta muda de cor

Vai moiando os pés no riacho
Que água fresca, Nosso Sinhô
Vai oiando coisa a grané
Coisas que pra mode vê
O cristão tem qui andar a pé

I'm A Little Teapot
Performer(s): Arthur Askey



I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle (hand on hip)
Here is my spout (other arm out straight)
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Tip me up and pour me out! (as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout)

Estoy Tan Lejos


Estoy Tan Lejos
Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alejandro Vezzani Performer(s): Raphael



Estoy tan lejos, lejos
No sabes como yo te extraño
Las horas al no estar contigo
Parece que se hicieran años
Estoy tan lejos, lejos
Con tantas ganas de tenerte
Alimentando la esperanza
Soñando con volver a verte
Pero no habrá distancia
Que nos aleje en pensamiento
Se pueden separar los cuerpos
Pero jamás el sentimiento
Pero no habrá distancia
Que pueda colocar barreras
En un cariño como el nuestro
No pueden existir fronteras
Estoy tan lejos, lejos
De aquel perfume que te pones
Que cuando pasas a mi lado
Me dice lo que te propones
Estoy tan lejos, lejos
De tu sonrisa y tu mirada
Tan lejos de mis intenciones
Que solo nunca dan en nada

Well I'm a king bee, can buzz all night long
Well I can buzz better baby, when your man is gone

Estoy Tan Bien, Que No Me Doy Cuenta Lo Mal Que Estoy


Estoy Tan Bien Que No Me Doy Cuenta Lo Mal Que Estoy
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy

Dejaré la cocaína
dejaré el alcohol
me pudriré en una oficina
pero conseguiré tu amor
conseguiré tu amor
ya lo vas a ver
haré lo que sea pero yo sé que lo conseguiré

Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy

El aire está cargado
de injusticias smog
represión para el poeta
libertad para el ladrón
qué gran manipulación
en esta tarde sin sol
compraré un traje de spandex
y saldré a correrte por la ciudad

Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal
que estoy

Cada vez más tienen menos
cada vez menos tienen más
pero mi amor es verdadero
nada pide sólo da

Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal que estoy
Estoy tan bien que no me doy
ni maldita cuenta, de lo mal
que estoy

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of
When I go to sleep at night
You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

Estoy Mejor Así­


Estoy Mejor Así
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Después de la tormenta
despiertan los juglares
Sacuden sus guaridas
los sueños y pesares

Y por el bosque cuentan
que la lluvia ha pasado
Se persigna un lagarto
El sol es un milagro

Y estoy mejor así
porque me siento libre
porque ha quedado atrás
el frío que me hace tan triste

Cuando el agua se eleva
de vuelta a las estrellas
y deja aquí en la tierra
crecer mis manos frescas

Y estoy mejor así
porque me siento libre
porque ya ha vuelto el sol
porque la luz me hace feliz

Y estoy mejor así
porque me siento libre
porque ya ha vuelto el sol
porque la luz me hace feliz

I'm A Hit Again
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves - 1964



Yes, I'm a hit again
Made it back in your top ten
Thought for a long, long while
I'd just gone out o' style
Folks wondered where I had been
Now, I'm a hit again

Yes, I can see by the chart
I made it back in your heart
I wanna be number one
Have an award-winning run
I'm back in the top ten
Yes, I'm a hit again

I hope that it's in the cards
For me to win an award
And when the countin' is through
I'll be a standard with you

Yes, I'm a hit again
I'm back in the top ten
The very latest trim
I'm a hit again

Estoy Llorando Hoy Por Ti


Estoy Llorando Hoy Por Ti
Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael; Grupo Laberinto



Estoy hablando solo
Estoy hablando solo
Y sin embargo ciento que estás conmigo
No puedo acostumbrarme
No puedo acostumbrarme
Y sin embargo es cierto que te has ido
Estoy llorando hoy por ti
Después de tanto tiempo
Que a veces te maldigo sin querer
Y luego me arrepiento
Estoy llorando hoy por ti
Ya ves qué tontería
Pasaron tantos años y otra vez
Volví a pensar en ti
Recuerdo aquella tarde
La lluvia se durmió serenamente
Detrás de la ventana
Hacía tanto frío que al filo de la noche
Se quedaron heladas las miradas
Nacía por primera vez
La palabra silencio
Creímos en el sueño del amor
Y luego no era cierto

I'm A Gigolo


I'm A Gigolo
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First release by: Leslie Hutchinson - 1929



I should like you all to know
I'm a famous gigolo
And of lavender, my nature's got just a dash in it
As I'm slightly undersexed
You will always find me next
To some dowager who's wealthy rather than passionate
Go to one of those night club places
And you'll find me stretching my braces
Pushing ladies with lifted faces 'round the floor
But I must confess to you
There are moments when I'm blue
And I ask myself whatever I do it for

I'm a flower that blooms in the winter
Sinking deeper and deeper in snow
I'm a baby who has
No mother but jazz
I'm a gigolo
Ev'ry morning, when labor is over
To my sweet-scented lodgings I go
Take the glass from the shelf
And look at myself
I'm a gigolo
I get stocks and bonds
From faded blondes
Ev'ry twenty-fifth of December
Still I'm just a pet
That men forget
And only tailors remember
Yet when I see the way all the ladies
Treat their husbands who put up the dough
You cannot think me odd
If then I thank God
I'm a gigolo

Estoy Ciego


Estoy Ciego
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Nena, estoy ciego
por mas que quiera no te veo
no veo el sol, no veo el mar
me pierdo en la ciudad
yo amo la oscuridad
hasta el aire que respiro me esta haciendo mal
la comida que como sabe artificial
tu amor en cápsulas
sigámonos amando en la oscuridad
en la oscuridad

Nena, estoy ciego
por mas que quiera no te veo
Polución, mutación, contaminación
nos ciegan el corazón
Talan todo el Amazonas y yo no lo veo
hay un agujero en cielo y yo no lo veo
el mar lleno de gas-oil
sigámonos amando en la oscuridad
en la oscuridad

C.I.A., F.B.I. todo lo que dicen es bullshit
hay que patear, gritar, esto se va acabar
porque sino la bomba va a estallar

hasta el aire que respiro me esta haciendo mal
la comida que como sabe artificial
tu amor en cápsulas
sigámonos amando en la oscuridad
en la oscuridad

Baby, I'm blind
I want to tell you who I am
Baby, I'm blind
I want to tell you who I am
Baby, I'm blind
por mas que quiera no te veo

I'm A Fool To Want You


I'm A Fool To Want You
Composer(s): Joel Herron; Frank Sinatra; Jack Wolf
First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

Take me back, I love you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you

Esto Sí, Esto No


Esto Sí, Esto No
Performer(s): Raphael



Desde hoy quisiera discutir
Ya sabes que tienes plena libertad
Lo ves, tengo yo siempre que decir
Esto sí, esto no, por amor
Oye mujer elige ahora tú
Que quiero someterme alguna vez
Me tocan a mí las cosas siempre más difíciles
Esto sí, esto no, por amor
Pero no, ahora tienes que elegir
Si esto sigue o lo dejamos así
El destino no soy sólo yo
Lo tenemos que hacer entre dos
Ahora siéntate y di sin temor
Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, por amor
Ya ves, es imposible
Me toca a mí de nuevo disponer
Y temo equivocarme sin tu decisión
Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, esto no
Esto sí, esto no, esto sí, esto no
Esto no

I'm A Fool To Care


I'm A Fool To Care
Composer(s): Ted Daffan
First release by: Ted Daffan & his Texans - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a fool to care
When you treat me this way
I know I love you
But what can I do

I'm a fool to care
I'm a fool to cry
When you tell me goodbye
You left me so blue
When you were untrue

I'm a fool to care
I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you went away

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
So why should I pretend
I'll lose in the end
I'm a fool to care

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
So why should I pretend
I'll lose in the end
I'm a fool to care

Esto No Es Una Eligía


Esto No Es Una Eligía
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Tú me recuerdas el prado de los soñadores
El muro que nos separa del mar, si es de noche
Tú me recuerdas sentada, ciertos sentimientos
Qué nunca se sabe que traen en las alas
Si vivos o muertos, si vivos o muertos

Me quito el rostro y lo doblo encima del pantalón
Si no he de decir tu nombre, si ajeno se esconde
No quiero expresión
Suelen mis ojos tener como impresos sus sueños, risueños

Tú me recuerdas las calles de La Habana Vieja
La Catedral sumergida en su baño de tejas
Tú me recuerdas las cosas, no se, las ventanas
Donde los cantores nocturnos cantaban
Amor a La Habana, amor a La Habana

Esto no es una elegía, ni es un romance, ni un verso
Más bien una acción de gracias
Por darle a mis ansias razón para un beso
Una modesta corona encontrada en la aurora

Tú me recuerdas el mundo de un adolescente
Un seminiño asustado, mirando a la gente
Un ángel interrogado, un sueño acostado
La maldición, la blasfemia de un continente
Y un poco de muerte, y un poco de muerte

I'm A Drifter (Dolly Parton)


I'm A Drifter
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 1976



I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter
Got no place to call my home no more
I'm a wanderer, a wandering wanderer
Got no one to call my own no more
Got no strings to tie me down
Got no cause to hang around
What difference does it make which way i go
Got an empty feelin' down inside
Still i need to stay alive
And who can tell what waits beyond this road
I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter
Got no one to call my own no more

Got no strings to tie me down
Got no cause to hang around
What difference does it make which way i go
Got an empty feelin' deep inside
Still i need to stay alive
Who can tell what waits beyond this road
I'm a drifter, a driftin' drifter
Got no one to call my own no more
