Walking The Streets In The Rain


Walking The Streets In The Rain
First performance by: Butch Moore - 1965



My poor heart feels like breaking
'Cause I'll never see you again
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

My tears are mixed through the raindrops
And I feel like I can't stand the pain
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

I'm retracing your steps one by one
We walk down the street for so long
I can still see your face through my teardrops
Cause the rain whispers softly, she's gone
The tears of the rain will keep falling
Till you bring back the sunshine again
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

Peggy Sue Got Married


Peggy Sue Got Married
Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
and various other artists



Please don't tell, no, no, no
Don't say that I (emphasised) told you so
I just heard a rumour from a friend
I don't say that it's true
I'll just leave that up to you
If you don't believe I'll understand
You recall the girl that's been in nearly every song?
This is what I heard, of course
The story could be wrong
She's the one (I've been told)
Now she's wearing a band of gold
Peggy Sue got married not long ago

Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye


Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & The Delta Rhythm Boys



Oh, what nights, glory be
When my baby and me
Used to ramble lovers' lane
From sundown to dawn
Then a voodoo, I guess
Put the jinx on our happiness
And the mockin'bird's refrain
Is done dead and gone

Evenin' creepin' down the mountain
Wakes up Mister Firefly
Bullfrog, settin' there
Starts a-croakin', but I don't care
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
South wind shakes the ole magnolia
Moon-man light the dingy sky
Stars start sprinklin' gold
On the river, but still I'm cold
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
Since my baby and me
Parted company
I can't see what's the diff if I live or I die
Oh Lawd, I'm takin' such a beatin'
I'm no good, even cheatin'
Since I kissed my baby goodbye

Qué Bueno, Qué Bueno


Qué Bueno, Qué Bueno
Composer(s): Antonio Figueroa Egia
First performance by: Conchita Bautista - 1965



Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que tú sientes lo mismo que yo
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que estoy dentro de tu corazón
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que es sincero el amor que me das
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que me espera la felicidad

Las horas parecen siglos los días la eternidad
Después cuando estoy contigo, el tiempo volando se va

Pero, ¡qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que tus besos ya son para mí
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti!
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti!

¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que es sincero el amor que me das
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, ay, qué bueno!
Saber que me espera la felicidad

Las horas parecen siglos los días la eternidad
Después cuando estoy contigo, el tiempo volando se va

Pero, ¡qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que tus besos ya son para mí
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti!
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti!

Peggy Gordon


Peggy Gordon
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Corrs



O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I am so deep in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the whole world know it
A troubled mind can find no rest

I leaned myself on a cask of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
Wishing Peggy Gordon was there

I wished I was in a lonesome valley
Where womankind cannot be found
And the pretty little birds do change their voices
And every moment a different sound

I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care never trouble me

Since I Fell For You


Since I Fell For You
Composer(s): Buddy Johnson
First recording/First release by: Buddy Johnson
Covered by multiple other artists



You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

It's so bad, It's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

Peggy


Peggy
Composer(s): Harry Williams; Neil Moret
Performer(s): Art Hickman



Nature's queen in nature's scene is you just you
Oh, pretty Peggy, you know it's true
weeping willows sigh and peeping birdies cry
sigh for, cry for you, and so do I

Roses fair perfume the air for you just you
Oh Pretty Peggy, you know they do
violets are blue, they're wild about you, too
So I'll show I'll be as true to you

Peggy come out and meet me dear
for you know in the spring it's ringtime weather
Peggy come out and greet me, dear
we'll roam the plains and country lanes together (Sweet girlie)
We'll play along the moonlit way
and as we swing along we'll sing a song or two
Peggy, you've knocked my heart a twister, little sister
I love you

I Belong


I Belong
Composer(s): Peter Phillips; Peter Lee Stirling
First performance by: Kathy Kirby



I belong, I belong, I belong

Since half my life
My heart's been sleeping
For all this time
My love's been keeping

And now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong

At first I thought
Just one more lover
But then I found
Why he's like no other

And now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong

Too many hours slipped away
Too many loves came my way
But they only broke my heart in two
All it needs is someone just like you

At last you came
And from now on
The two of us
Will be as one

'Cause now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong

I belong

Peg O' My Heart
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Fred Fischer
Performer(s): Jerry Murad



Oh! my heart's in a whirl
Over one little girl
I love her
Yes, I do!

Although her heart is far away
I hope to make her mine some day

Ev'ry beautiful rose
Ev'ry violet knows
I love her
I love her fond and true
And her heart fondly sighs
As I sing to her eyes
Her eyes of blue
Sweet eyes of blue, my darling!

Peg o' my heart, I love you
We'll never part
I love you, dear little girl
Sweet little girl
Sweeter than the Rose of Erin
Are your winnin' smiles endearin'

Peg o' my heart
Your glances with Irish art
Entrance me
Come, be my own
Come, make your home in my heart

First release by: The Skyliners - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you....

I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you....

I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will again,
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then...

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares..
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you...
you..you...you.. you...

I've seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It's like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they're gonna love it

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better

Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie

'T Is Genoeg


'T Is Genoeg
Composer(s): J. Van Soest
First performance by: Conny Vandenbos - 1965



't Is genoeg
'k Heb genoeg van alle spelletjes met vuur
'k Heb genoeg van alle mooie complimentjes en presentjes
't Is genoeg, ik wil gelukkig zijn
't Is genoeg

Wat je mij hebt beloofd leek zo romantisch
Maar al gauw bleek dat sprookje een valse schijn
En toen jij op die avond in mei onze liefde verspeelde
Was dat genoeg
Misschien hield jij van mij
Ik was met jou zo blij
Dat ik mijn leven graag met jou had willen delen
Maar dat je altijd liegt
En mij bewust bedriegt
Is onaanvaardbaar voor een vrouw
Die in alles trouw tegen jou dan zeggen zou

't Is genoeg
'k Heb genoeg van alle spelletjes met vuur
'k Heb genoeg van alle mooie complimentjes en presentjes
't Is genoeg, ik wil gelukkig zijn
't Is genoeg

'k Heb veel mannen gekend en ook illusies
In romances geloof ik allang niet meer
Op den duur vindt toch elk avontuur in verdriet z'n ontknoping
Dat is genoeg
Ach, droom ik nog steeds van een doodgewone man
Een die oprecht en ongeremd van mij kan houden
Ik ben het flirten moe
Aan ware liefde toe
Want ik ben nog een jonge vrouw
Die in alles trouw tegen hem dan zeggen zou

't Is genoeg
'k Heb genoeg van alle spelletjes met vuur
Ook al maak je mij geen leuke complimenten
De momenten van geluk zijn voor mij genoeg

't Is genoeg
't Is genoeg
't Is genoeg...

The Cowntess is so classy, Randy's kinda sassy
A nuttier establishment you've never seen!
Spend the day with Pee-wee and you'll see what we mean! (Come on!)

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (Wake up!)
'Cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen
Now we've given you fair warnin'!

For bein' wacky!
For getting nutty!
Golly, it's cuckoo!
At Pee-wee's Playhouse!

Performer(s): Paulinho da Viola
and multiple other artists



Olá, como vai?
Eu vou indo, e você, tudo bem?
Tudo bem, eu vou indo correndo
Pegar meu lugar no futuro
E você?
Tudo bem, eu vou indo em busca
De um sono tranqüilo, quem sabe?
Quanto tempo...pois é, quanto tempo...
Me perdoe a pressa
É a alma dos nossos negócios...
Oh! não tem de quê
Eu também só ando a cem
Quando é que você telefona?
Precisamos nos ver por aí
Pra semana, prometo, talvez nos vejamos
Quem sabe?
Quanto tempo...pois é, quanto tempo...
Tanta coisa que eu tinha a dizer
Mas eu sumi na poeira das ruas
Eu também tenho algo a dizer
Mas me foge a lembrança
Por favor, telefone, eu preciso beber
Alguma coisa, rapidamente
Pra semana...
O sinal...eu procuro você...
Vai abrir...
Prometo, não esqueço
Por favor, não esqueça
Adeus
Não esqueço, adeus

Riding on my bicycle
Got knocked down by a motorcycle
In front of a crowd of people
Luckily, I was Jah Jah disciple

So unconscious, did not know what to do

Or the lang youth ha look 'pon a fat gal
(2nd time: How's a tall youth ha stare 'pon a fat gal)

Caracola


Caracola
First performance by: Los TNT - 1964



¿Por qué entre cielo y mar, entre sombra y luz tus ojos veía?
¿Por qué sentí naufragar a mi corazón de pronto aquel día?

¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?
Así tu voz transformó a mi corazón en tu caracola

¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?
Así tu voz transformó a mi corazón en tu caracola de amor
De amor

Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro fica assim pensando
Assim pensando o tempo passa
E a gente vai ficanto pra trás
Esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento
Desde o ano passado
Para o mês que vem

Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro espera o carnaval
E a sorte grande do bilhete pela federal
Todo mês
Esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento
Para o mês que vem
Esperando a festa
Esperando a sorte
E a mulher de Pedro
Está esperando um filho
Pra esperar também

Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro esta esperando a morte
Ou esperando o dia de voltar pro norte
Pedro nã sabe mas talvez no fundo
Espera alguma coisa coisa mais linda que o mundo
Maior do que o mar
Mas pra que sonhar
Se dá o desespero de esperar demais
Pedro pedreiro quer voltar atrás
Quer ser pedreiro pobre e nada mais
Sem ficar esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento para o mês que vem
Esperando um filho pra esperar também
Esperando a festa
Esperando a sorte
Esperando a morte
Esperando o norte
Esperando o dia de esperar ninguém
Esperando enfim nada mais além
Da esperança aflita, bendita, infinita
Do apito do trem

Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando
Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando
Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando o trem
Que já vem, que já vem, que já vem (etc.)

Sina
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Ricardo Bezerra; Patativa do Assaré
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu venho desde menino
Desde muito pequenino
Cumprindo o belo destino
Que me deu Nosso Senhor

Não nasci pra ser guerreiro
Nem infeliz estrangeiro
Eu num me entrego ao dinheiro

Só ao olhar do meu amor

Carrego nesse meus ombros
O sinal do Redentor
E tenho nessa parada

Quanto mais feliz eu sou

Eu nasci pra ser vaqueiro
Sou mais feliz brasileiro
Eu num invejo dinheiro
Nem diploma de doutor...

Pedro El Herrero


Pedro El Herrero
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



No pudo ser algo grande
por no haber ido a la escuela
el va aprendiendo despacio
lo que la vida le enseña

No pudo alcanzar la gloria
por no salir de su pueblo
un pueblo lleno de historia
no quiso dejar de verlo

No sabe escribir su nombre
él no entiende los letreros
es de este mundo el más pobre
lo llaman Pedro el herrero

Por lo que sufre mi madre
yo cada día más la quiero
cuánto trabaja mi padre
por tan poquito dinero

Y yo no puedo ayudarlo
por no haber ido a la escuela
sigue aprendiendo despacio
lo que la vida le enseña

Pero me siento orgulloso
aunque no tenga dinero
de ser hijo de mi padre
mi padre es Pedro el herrero
