Playa Girón
Playa Girón
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Compañeros poetas
tomando en cuenta los últimos suceso
en la poesía, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de adjetivos se deben usar
para hacer el poema de un barco
sin que se haga sentimental, fuera de la vanguardia
o evidente panfleto
si debo usar palabras como
Flota Cubana de Pesca y
«Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de música
tomando en cuenta esas politonales
y audaces canciones, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de armonía se debe usar
para hacer la canción de este barco
con hombres de poca niñez, hombres y solamente
hombres sobre cubierta
hombres negros y rojos y azules
los hombres que pueblan el «Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de historia
tomando en cuenta lo implacable
que debe ser la verdad, quisiera preguntar
me urge tanto
¿qué debiera decir, qué fronteras debo respetar?
Si alguien roba comida
y después da la vida, ¿qué hacer?
¿Hasta donde debemos practicar las verdades?
¿Hasta donde sabemos?
Que escriban, pues, la historia, su historia
los hombres del «Playa Girón»

Keep Me Warm
Keep Me Warm
First performance by: Carita Holmström - 1974
Oh... my friend, stay a little while
Something's happening to our lives
By the time it's Summer
Frightened minds are Winter
I will free from their icy spell
Bring you fragrance from nature's well
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, stay and sit with me
The nights ahead could be warm and free
The morning winds - I give you
I won't disappoint you
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, when the Summer comes
We'll be younger, we'll have our fun
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm

Play, Fiddle, Play
Play, Fiddle, Play
Composer(s): Arthur Altman; Jack Lawrence; Emery Deutsch
Performer(s): Arthur Tracy;
and various artists
Now the gypsy band rest their caravan
Where I hear concealed the song
Dusky magic falls, gypsy music calls
Oft to lovers one by one
A lover strums his fiddle while he hums his little song
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Play, fiddler play, play my loved one a melody
Sing to my love while the stars swing above
Play, fiddle play, sing my loved one a rhapsody
Play on the strings of her heart
The campfires are gleaming as red as the sun
And my heart keeps dreaming, just dreaming of one
So softly, croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love
Croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love

What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you would try to slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away, oh I need you so
Oh love oh love, how sweet it is
When you still involve it
Let me tell you how sweet it is
Now I know it's wrong
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling
I don't mean to hurt you
But can you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone
Baby we could meet somewhere
Somewhere we both are not known
Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away-ay-ay-ay I need you so
Oh can you slip away baby
I'd like to see you right now darling
Can you slip away baby
Cause I got to, got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside
Oh I wish you could slip away ...

Play With Fire
Play With Fire
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Nanker Phelge; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Well you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And your chaffeur drives your cars
You let everybody know
But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your mother, she's an heiress
Owns a block in St. John's Wood
And your father would be there with her
If he only could
But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stedley
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Now you've got some diamonds
And you will get some others
But you'd better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Sans Toi (Martine Clémenceau)
Sans Toi
Composer(s): Anne Gregory; Paul Koulak
First performance by: Martine Clémenceau - 1973
Tout le monde autour de chose parlait d'amour
Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour
J'attendais, je t'espérais, j'espérais, je te cherchais
Mais c'est fou, tu existais
L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi, sans toi
Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin
J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi

Play The Game Tonight
Play The Game Tonight
Composer(s): Phil Ehart; Danny Flower;
Rob Frazier; Kerry Livgren; Rich Williams
Performer(s): Kansas
You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again
Chorus:
Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight
Then play the game tonight
And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it all over again
Chorus

First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
White as snow
Slim slow slider
Horse you ride
Is white as snow
Tell it everywhere you go
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back
I know you're dying, baby
And I know you know it, too
I know you're dying
And I know you know it, too
Everytime I see you
I just don't know what to do

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

Composer(s): Guy Fletcher; Doug Flett
First performance by: Cliff Richard - 1973
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
There's one old man
Spent his life growing flowers
Caring for the bees
Power to the bees
There's one old lady
Spent her days making wine
The wine tasted fine
Power to the vine
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
There's one strong man
Ploughing in the valley
He's living off the land
Power to the land
There's some young girl
Laying down in Monte Carlo
Laying in the sun
Power to the sun
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
Power to the boys who played rock 'n' roll
And made my life so sweet
And to the girls I knew before
And those I've yet to meet
Power to all our friends
To the music that never ends
To the people we want to be
Baby, power to you and me
To the music that never ends
Baby, power to all our friends

Play That Funky Music
Play That Funky Music
Composer(s): Robert Parissi
Performer(s): Wild Cherry
Hey do it now yeah hey
Yeah
There was a funky singer
Playing in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah
Burning down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feeling so low
And I decided quickly
Yes I did
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah they was
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die , oh till you die
(Gonna play that electrified funky music, yeah)
Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing Rock & Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were.....
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die
They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Got to keep on playing funky music
Play that funky music

Sleigh Ride In July
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
If I were the type to play around
It wouldn't be so bad,
But I didn't know my way around
And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe
Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve
My dreams were safe all winter
And then to think that I
Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show
So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky

Sleigh Ride
(Danish Version: En Slæde Til To - 2009)
Composer(s): Leroy Anderson; Mitchell Parish
First release by: The Andrews Sisters - 1950
Covered by multiple other artists
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
let's go, Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap
it's grand, Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party
at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Composer(s): Manny Curtis; Sanford Green
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Johnny Desmond
I spend lonely hours since he said goodbye
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
Oh my ivory tower tumbled from the sky
Play me hearts and flowers, I want to cry
You saw us together so you ought to know
Just why I feel like I do
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry
Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe
Play me a heartache or two
When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie
Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry

Do I Dream?
Do I Dream?
Composer(s): Jack Brierlev - George F. Crosbie
First performance by: Maxi - 1973
Does the sun dance on the river?
Does it sparkle? Does it quiver?
Do I dream?
Are the mountains blue and hazy
Or am I a little crazy?
Do I dream?
My darling, tell me, do your arms enfold me?
Did you say you love me only?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Has this cloud a silver lining?
Will the sun be always shining?
Darling, do I dream?
Are we walking through the heather?
Are we holding hands together?
Do I dream?
Are there many coloured flowers?
Have we loved away the hours?
Do I dream?
My darling, if I'm dreaming, do not wake me
Never let my dream forsake me
I love you and that is not a dream
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Is the moon a little brighter?
Are my footsteps feeling lighter?
Do I dream?
Are there lucky stars above me?
Tell me once again you love me
Do I dream?
My darling, are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?

Saturday night and I'm all alone
Don't have a date, I'm just sittin' home

'Cause that's all that I'm thinking of
Sittin' here cryin' won't get me the girl
I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world
Oh what's the use, guess I'll turn off the light (ooh yes)
