This Is My Life (Shirley Bassey)


This Is My Life
(Italian Version: La Vita - 1968)
Composer(s): Antonio Amurri - Bruno Canfora - Norman Newell
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey - 1968



Funny how a lonely day
can make a person say
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart
can make me start to say
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem
to think I'll find another dream
(or to think I'll never find a dream)
In my life Till I look around and see
this great big world is part of me And my life

This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

Sometime when I feel afraid
I think of what a mess I've made of my life
Crying over my mistakes
forgetting all the breaks I've had In my life
I was put on earth to be
a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just have to score
and count the things I'm grateful for In my life

This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

Yo Pienso En Ti


Yo Pienso En Ti
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Ella era extraña
conversaba con el viento
le tenía miedo al tiempo
se peinaba en madrugada
para recibir al sol
Se sentaba en la ventana
dibujaba en los cristales
con sus manos una cárcel
para atrapar al sol

Y en su mirada
detenía la alborada
me decía soy un hada
volaré hasta tu almohada
a robarte el corazón
me abrazaba y me pedía
que soltara mis cometas
que en su vientre vivirían
porque sabrían que

Yo pienso en ti
yo pienso en ti
y en tu mirada
yo pienso en ti
yo pienso en ti
y en tus mañanas

Ella era extraña
me escribía unos poemas
que, mas bien, eran teoremas
que rompían los esquemas
de cualquier verso de amor
y de pronto una mañana
se trepó a su poesía
me dejó en caligrafía
un papel diciendo

Yo pienso en ti

La Vita


La Vita
((English Version: This Is My Life (by Shirley Bassey) - 1968))
Composer(s): Antonio Amurri - Bruno Canfora
Performer(s): Elio Gandolfi & Shirley Bassey - 1968



Quanti giorni vuoti
Quanti giorni tristi
In questa nostra vi...ta
Quante delusioni
Quante inutili passioni
Nella vi...ta
Quante volte abbiamo detto
Basta hai disprezzato
Questa vi...ta
Mai una volta
Che pensiamo
A quello che ci porta
Questa vi...ta
Ah...la vita
Più bello della vita
Non c'è niente
E forse tanta gente
Non lo sa non lo sa
Non lo sa
Ah..la vita
Che cosa di più vero
Esiste al mondo
E non ce ne accorgiamo
Quasi mai quasi mai
Quasi mai
Qualche volta abbiamo
Come un senso di paura
Della vi...ta
Anche se ci sono tante
Cose che non vanno
Nella vi...ta
Ma che cosa pretendiamo
Cosa ci aspettiamo
Dalla vi...ta
No non è possibile
Sprecare inutilmente
Questa vi...ta
Ah...la vita
Più bello della vita
Non c'è niente
E forse tanta gente
Non lo sa non lo sa
Non lo sa
Ah...la vita
Che cosa di più vero
Esiste al mondo
E non ce ne accorgiamo
Quasi mai quasi mai
Quasi mai...mai

Yo Pertenezco


Yo Pertenezco
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Yo pertenezco a la tierra
y al agua que a la semilla alimenta
yo pertenezco a aquel niño
que alguna vez murió

Yo pertenezco a esa vida
que con esperanzas no se resigna
yo pertenezco al lamento
que un pan no silenció

Yo pertenezco a la angustia
de yugos que aprietan por dentro
yo pertenezco a la furia
causada por muros de miedo

Yo pertenezco a la brisa
y al viento que nunca se inmoviliza
yo pertenezco al recuerdo
de aquel que se marchó

Yo pertenezco a la hierba
que crece a través de rocas y piedras
yo pertenezco a esa gente
que alguno traicionó

Yo pertenezco a los frutos
de un árbol expuesto a secarse
yo pertenezco al futuro
y al cosmos que fluye en la sangre

Yo pertenezco a la tierra
y al agua que la semilla alimenta
yo pertenezco a aquel niño que alguna vez murió

This Is My Life (Anna Bergendahl)


This Is My Life
Composer(s): Bobby Ljunggren - Kristian Lagerström
Performer(s): Anna Bergendahl - 2010



I go down the beaten track
'Long the river with an empty bag
At the end she said to me
“Why are you here with the autumn leaves?”

‘Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand
Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be no one else

I'm done, tipping on my toes
Striking iron and attack my soul
Misty moon, you're gonna see
I've got your blues to get on my feet

‘Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand
‘Cause this is my life, my friend
And I can't be no one else

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay free
To be me
I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna play, I just wanna remember
Oh, my name

‘Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand
Oh, ooh...

(‘Cause this is my life, my friend
(And this is my time to stand)
Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be no one else
‘Cause this is my life, my friend
And I can't be no one else

‘Cause this is my life, my friend

Yo No Tengo A Nadie


Yo No Tengo A Nadie
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo no tengo a nadie
Que me pueda aconsejar

Me enamore
Me enamore de una chica una vez
Y como yo
Y como yo no sabia que hacer
No me atrevi ni a acercarme
Por no saber de que hablarle
Yo la perdi para siempre
Y no la he vuelto a ver mas

Yo no tengo a nadie
Que me pueda aconsejar

Yo consegui
Despues de mucho luchar y sufrir
Un gran amor
Una ilusion que me hacia feliz
Pero no supe guardarla
Y de mi amor se burlaba
Por no saber como amarla
Yo no la he vuelto a ver mas

First release by: Elmore James - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I'm a stranger here
And I just blowed in your town
Well, I'm a stranger here
And I just blowed in your town
Just because I'm a stranger
Everybody wants to dog me around
Well, I'm going back down south
If I have wear ninety nine pair of shoes
Well, I'm going back down south
If I have wear ninety nine pair of shoes
Then I won't be no more stranger
I won't have no more stranger's blues
Well, sometime I wonder
Do my good gal know I'm here?
Well, sometime I wonder
Do my good gal know I'm here?
Well, if she do
She sure don't seem to care
Don't seem to care

Yo No Permito


Yo No Permito
Composer(s): Lito Nebbia
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Yo sé que no puedo morir, por ahora
y la razón es que estoy muy ocupado
pero suceden cosas diariamente
que intentan liquidar mis sentimientos
pero yo no hago caso
Yo no permito que me impidan seguir
yo los invito a que me vean seguir
Y si lo intento es porque estoy convencido
que para lograr algo hay que insistir
Me encontré ayer con un pibe de quince
me preguntó que cómo había hecho
yo no quise aburrirlo con mi rollo
de que aún sigo intentando
y pensé que era mejor decirle
Yo no permito que me impidan seguir
yo los invito a que me vean seguir
Y si lo intento es porque estoy convencido
que para lograr algo hay que insistir

Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie)


Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie)
Composer(s): Pierre Kartner
First performance by: Sieneke - 2010



Ik ben vergeten waar ik dit liedje heb gehoord, in de zomerzon
Ik geloof dat het toen daar met jou op het strand was in Lissabon
Of was het daar toen in Parijs
Achter een coupe vers mokka-ijs?
Het kan ook zijn dat het was met z'n tweeën boven zee in een luchtballon

Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Het gaat niet uit m'n kop
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op
Ik ben verliefd op jou, daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
zo gaat het ongeveer

Ik ben verliefd
ik ben verliefd
Ik ben verliefd, dat kun je zo zien

Het kan ook zijn dat ik samen met jou in een vliegtuig naar Oslo zat
Of kwam het uit een café in zo'n straatje, we waren in Trinidad
Of was het met een goed glas wijn
Op dat terrasje in Berlijn?
Of was het Moskou waar ik m'n eerste kus van jou heb gehad?
Hoe kan ik dat, hoe kan ik dat
Hoe kan ik dat, hoe kan ik dat
Hoe kan ik dat nou vergeten?

Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Het gaat niet uit m'n kop
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op

Ik ben verliefd op jou
Daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Zo gaat het ongeveer

Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Het gaat niet uit m'n kop
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Ik sta d'r 's morgens mee op

Ik ben verliefd op jou
Daarom vergeet ik alles gauw en weet ik het niet meer
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Zo gaat het ongeveer
Shalalie shalala, shalalie shalala
Ja, ik weet het alweer

Yo Fui El Segundo En Tu Vida


Yo Fui El Segundo En Tu Vida
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo;
Andy Andy; Pedro Arroyo



De acuerdo que él fué el primero
y que te amó antes que yo
y que bebió de tu vida
el primer sorbo de amor
De acuerdo que conquistara
por primera vez, tu piel
pero fué sólo deseo
y no te llegó a querer
Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí
pero el primero a la vez
él se llevó tu inocencia
pero yo te hice mujer
Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí
pero el primero en amor
el que te abrió con caricias
y el que más te conoció
A él le faltó la ternura
y fué torpe con tu amor
por el deseo de saciarse
jamás de ti, se acordó
Yo te borré esa tristeza
que al marcharse te dejó
y te hice una paloma
que por mi cuerpo voló
Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí
pero el primero a la vez
él se llevó tu inocencia
pero yo te hice mujer
Yo fuí el segundo en tu vida, sí
pero el primero en amor
el que te abrió con caricias
y el que más te conoció

Stranger (Kris Kristofferson)


Stranger
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson



Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror
Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned
Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time
Honey, they were hittin' close to home

And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy
Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do
But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time
I'd sure like to spend the night with you

And she said - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you

Maybe you got all you got together
Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone
Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
And leave you just a little more alone

Singing - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you

Keep Singing - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you

Yo Era El Capitan


Yo Era El Capitan
Composer(s): Roque Narvaja
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Recuerdo cuando era niño
el verano familiar
la vida era un partido
muy facil de ganar
los años trajeron las guerras
que nos iban a salvar
las promesas el futuro
la derrota trajo la paz

Dondeesta mi alazán
mi espada de madera
yo era el capitan
ganaba las batallas sin luchar
y desfilaba frente a mi mama
ella me hacia la veña
yo llevaba la bandera

Ya se acabo el comunismo
se acabo la era nuclear
se acabaron las ideas
se acabo la caridad
los años trajeron impuestos
para la prosperidad
soy mayor para el trabajo
pero no para pagar
Donde esta la dignidad
la risa de mis hijos
yo era el capitan
ganaba las batallas sin matar
y merendabamos con mi mama
ella me hacia la veña
yo llevaba la bandera
como les digo que no juego mas

Stranger (Jefferson Starship)


Stranger
Composer(s): Pete Sears - Jeanette Sears
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship



Raindrops falling
Winter feels so gloomy
Hear a knock upon my door
Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
He said you know I've called before

What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown

Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow

What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown

Darkened doorways
Strangest things can happen
Don't know who you're talking to
Find yourself
When lightning strikes you now
You could be looking back at you

What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown

What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown

Stranger!

Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
Are you someone I should know
Did we meet some time ago

Yo Digo Que Las Estrellas


Yo Digo Que Las Estrellas
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Yo digo que las estrellas
le dan gracias a la noche
porque encima de otro coche
no pueden lucir tan bellas

y digo que es culpa de ella
—de la noche— el universo
cual son culpables los versos
de que haya noches y estrellas

Yo digo que no hay quien crezca
más allá se lo que vale
—y el tonto que no lo sabe
es el que en zancos se arresta—

y digo que el que se presta
para peón del veneno
es doble tonto y no quiero
ser bailarín de su fiesta

Yo digo que no hay talante
más claro que ir desnudo
pues cuando se tiene escudo
luego se quieren los guantes

Y al que diga que me aguante
debajo de una sotana
le encajo una caravana
de sentimientos gigantes

Yo digo que no hay más canto
que el que sale de la selva
y que será el que lo entienda
fruto del árbol más alto

Y digo que cuesta tanto
y que hay que cruzar la tundra
pero al final la penumbra
se hace arco iris del canto

East European Funk

You've seen it all before, we ain't got no taste, we're all a bore
You should give us a chance, 'cause we're all victims of circumstance
We've had it pretty tough, but that's okay, we like it rough
We'll settle the score, survived the reds and two world wars

Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk

Yes sir, we are legal, we are, though we're not as legal as you
No sir, we're not equal, no, though we're both from the EU
We build your homes, we wash your dishes, keep your hands all squeaky clean
Some day you'll come to realise Eastern Europe is in your genes

Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…

Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk

Get up and dance to our… get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our… get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our… get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda…

Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk
Get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk
Get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk
Get up and dance to our…
Get up and dance to our Eastern European kinda funk

Yo (Raphael)


Yo
Composer(s): Villarrojas; J.L. Armenteros
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo, que vivia tranquilo
En este mismo lugar
Yo, que miraba las rosas
En primavera brotar
Yo, que soñaba despierto
Con el sol, con el aire y el mar

Yo, que veia los dias
Tras los cristales pasar
Yo, que vivia tranquilo
Sin conocer que era amar
Se que era un mundo distinto
Al que tu me quisiste mostrar

Siempre vivire del recuerdo, si
Y siempre soñare con tu pelo, si
Y siempre pensare que estas cerca
Aunque no estes aqui

Nunca te tendre ya en mis brazos, no
Y nunca volvere a acariciarte, no
Y nunca besare mas tu boca
Nunca, nunca jamas

Yo, ahora vivo en la sombra
Tu sabe dios donde estas
Yo me quede aqui vacio
Tu te has marchado sin mas
Ya me conformo tan solo
Con soñar que algun dia vendras

Strange World


Strange World
Composer(s): Steve Harris
First release by: Iron Maiden - 1980



The only place where you can dream
living here is not what it seems
Ship of white light in the sky
nobody there to reason why
Here I am, I'm not really there
smiling faces ever so rare
A let's walk in deepest space
living here just isn't the place
Stalks of light come from the ground
when I cry there isn't a sound
All my feelings cannot be held
I'm happy in my new strange world
Shades of green grasses twine
girls drinking plasma wine
A look at love, a dream unfolds
living here, you'll never grow old
Don't you hear me call?
Ooh

Yo
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
and various other artists



Ando borracho, ando tomando
porque el destino cambio mi suerte
Ya tu cariño nada me importa
mi corazon te olvido pa' siempre

Fuiste en mi vida
un sentimiento
que destrozo toditita mi alma
Quise matarme por tu cariño
pero volvi a recobrar la calma

Yo...yo que tanto llore por tus besos
yo...yo que siempre te hable sin mentiras
hoy...solo puedo brindarte desprecio
yo...yo que tanto te quise en la vida...

Una gitana leyo en mi mano
que con el tiempo me acordaria
esa gitana ha adivinado
pero tu vida ya no es la mia

Hoy mi destino lleva otro rumbo
tu corazon se quedo muy lejos
si ahora me quieres, si ahora me extrañas
yo te abandono pa' estar parejos

Yo...yo que tanto llore por tus besos...

My Dream (Thea Garrett)


My Dream
Composer(s): Jason Cassar - Sunny Aquilina
First performance by: Thea Garrett - 2010



We used to say that dreams could be so true
Where am I? What will I be?
It's my dream which I could share with you
A new day for you and me
Just a smile with warmth in my heart and go all the way
There's so much in life and I'll sing

This is my dream, I want to make it really happen
And make my dream come true
This is my dream, I'll make it if I just believe it
In a fairytale I'll live it, just like a new born star

Fly above like a seagull on the waves
And the sun will shine upon your face
Just believe, follow your heart and make it happen
Grow much brighter and we'll say

This is my dream, I want to make it really happen
And make my dream come true
This is my dream, I'll make it if i just believe it
There is nothing that could stop me
I just want the world to know

This is my dream, and I know that I'll be strong
It will come true because I know I'll make it happen
This is my dream

I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt, no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone came up to me
and said young man take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way
