À Paris


À Paris
Composer(s): Francis Lemarque
Performer(s): Yves Montand



À Paris
Quand un amour fleurit
Ça fait pendant des semaines
Deux cœurs qui se sourient
Tout ça parce qu'ils s'aiment
À Paris

Au printemps
Sur les toits les girouettes
Tournent et font les coquettes
Avec le premier vent
Qui passe indifférent
Nonchalant

Car le vent
Quand il vient à Paris
N'a plus qu'un seul souci
C'est d'aller musarder
Dans tous les beaux quartiers
De Paris

Le soleil
Qui est son vieux copain
Est aussi de la fête
Et comme deux collégiens
Ils s'en vont en goguette
Dans Paris

Et la main dans la main
Ils vont sans se frapper
Regardant en chemin
Si Paris a changé

Y a toujours
Des taxis en maraude
Qui vous chargent en fraude
Avant le stationnement
Où y a encore l'agent
Des taxis

Au café
On voit n'importe qui
Qui boit n'importe quoi
Qui parle avec ses mains
Qu'est là depuis le matin
Au café

Y a la Seine
A n'importe quelle heure
Elle a ses visiteurs
Qui la regardent dans les yeux
Ce sont ses amoureux
À la Seine

Et y a ceux
Ceux qui ont fait leur nid
Près du lit de la Seine
Et qui se lavent à midi
Tous les jours de la semaine
Dans la Seine

Et les autres
Ceux qui en ont assez
Parce qu'ils en ont vu de trop
Et qui veulent oublier
Alors y se jettent à l'eau
Mais la Seine

Elle préfère
Voir les jolis bateaux
Se promener sur elle
Et au fil de son eau
Jouer aux caravelles
Sur la Seine

Les ennuis
Y'en a pas qu'à Paris
Y'en a dans le monde entier
Oui mais dans le monde entier
Y a pas partout Paris
V'là l'ennui

À Paris
Au quatorze juillet
A la lueur des lampions
On danse sans arrêt
Au son de l'accordéon
Dans les rues

Depuis qu'à Paris
On a pris la Bastille
Dans tous les faubourgs
Et à chaque carrefour
Il y a des gars
Et il y a des filles
Qui sur les pavés
Sans arrêt nuit et jour
Font des tours et des tours
À Paris

Hoy No Quiero Estar Lejos De La Casa Y El Árbol


Hoy No Quiero Estar Lejos De La Casa Y El Árbol
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol
Hoy quisiera estrechar mi ciudad sumergida
Boca de los corales, alma de las esponjas
Dureza de las piedras que se encuentran a veces
Ojos de las estrellas de mar y los peces

Hoy te quiero cantar más allá
Más allá de donde ha de llegar la canción

¿Cómo voy a cambiarle el color a una ola?
¿Qué se puede querer, si todo es horizonte?
¿Qué le voy a enseñar a la suma del viento?
¿Qué le puedo objetar a una noche estrellada
Con mi vela amarilla y mi proa emparchada?

Hoy te quiero cantar más allá
Más allá de donde ha de llegar la canción

Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol
Cada rizo del suelo es un sueño contado
Algo como un recuerdo, una imagen, un beso
Y en la espalda del día se queda ese algo
Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol

Hoy te quiero cantar más allá
Más allá de donde ha de llegar la canción

A Palo Seco
Composer(s): Belchior
Performer(s): Belchior
and multiple other artists



Se você vier me perguntar por onde andei
No tempo em que você sonhava
De olhos abertos lhe direi
Amigo eu me desesperava
Sei que assim falando pensas
Que esse desespero é moda em 76
Eu ando um pouco descontente
Desesperadamente eu falo português
Desesperadamente eu falo português
Tenho 25 anos de sonho e de sangue
E de América do Sul
Mas por força do meu destino
Um tango argentino
Me cai bem melhor que um blues
Sei que assim falando pensas
Que esse desespero é moda em 76
Eu quero é que esse canto torto feito faca
Corte a carne de vocês
Corte a carne de vocês

Hoy No Pienso Igual


Hoy No Pienso Igual
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Ya ves, hoy no pienso igual
He cambiado de parecer
Y estas cosas que tanto ame
No las quiero ver mas

Diras que no puede ser
Que mis labios mintiendo estan
Que en el fondo yo quiero igual
Todo aquello que quise ayer

Pero yo comence a vivir
Y la vida me demostro
Que sin ti todo sigue igual
En cualquier lugar de este mundo

Ya ves, hoy no pienso igual
He cambiado de parecer
Y a estos sitios donde te ame
No quisiera volver yo jamas

Yo crei que no habia mas
Que el amor era nuestro amor
Yo crei que acababa en ti
La felicidad y el dolor

Pero ayer comence a vivir
Y la vida me demostro
Que yo puedo vivir feliz
En cualquier lugar de este mundo sin ti

A Pair Of Old Sneakers


A Pair Of Old Sneakers
Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Glenn Sutton
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette & George Jones



We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Stringin’ each other along
Sometimes I feel just like a heel
’cause I know in my soul, that it’s wrong

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Kickin’ each other around
Eight times a week, we play ’hide an’ cheat’
’til we’ve run that game in the ground

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin’ is wrong
We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Worn out an’ comin’ unglued
Both wearin’ rings, feelin’ ashamed
Tryin’ to run from the truth

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And nothin’ can tear us apart
Living the lie and lord knows we’ve tried
To stop walking on each other’s heart

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin’ is wrong
We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

Hoy Mi Deber


Hoy Mi Deber
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy mi deber era
cantarle a la patria
alzar la bandera
sumarme a la plaza

Hoy era un momento
más bien optimista
un renacimiento
un sol de conquista

Pero tú me faltas
hace tantos días
que quiero y no puedo
tener alegrías

Pienso en tu cabello
que estalla en mi almohada
y estoy que no puedo
dar otra batalla

Hoy yo que tenía
que cantar a coro
me escondo del día
susurro estoy solo

Qué hago tan lejos
dándole motivos
a esta jugarreta
cruel de los sentidos

Tu boca pequeña
dentro de mi beso
conquista se adueña
no toca receso

Tu cuerpo y mi cuerpo
cantando sudores
sonidos posesos
febriles temblores

Hoy mi deber era
cantarle a la patria
alzar la bandera
sumarme a la plaza

Y creo que acaso
al fin lo he logrado
soñando tu abrazo
volando a tu lado

A Painter Passing Through


A Painter Passing Through
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



Once upon a time I was on my own
Once upon a time like you've never known
Once upon a time I would be impressed
Once upon a time my life would be obsessed
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
I was in my prime, once along the way
If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
For I am just a painter passing through in history

Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright
Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night
Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great
Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
I was in my prime, once along the way

If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around
For I am just a painter passing through the underground

I was in my stride, always at my game
Here comes mister cool, along the walk of fame
I was in demand, always in control
The world was in my hands, my touch had turn to gold
Once upon a time, I was in a daze when
I was in my prime, once along the way

If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
For I am just a painter passing through in history

Now that I am old, let me rest a spell
All that I am told, I can never tell
Never in my life, never will it pass
I am still alone, remembering at last
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
I was in my prime, once along the way

If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around
For I am just a painter passing through the underground

If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
For I am just a painter passing through in history

Hoy Mejor Que Mañana


Hoy Mejor Que Mañana
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Si tú me tienes que decir
Que ya no piensas tanto en mí
Si tú me quieres explicar
Que ya lo nuestro no es igual
Dímelo, dímelo hoy mejor que mañana
Cada minuto que pasa
Más fuerte y más grande
Es mi amor hacia ti
Por eso es mejor que me digas
Adiós cuanto antes y huyas de mí
¡Ay! dímelo
Si estás cansada de mi amor
Y ya no tienes ilusión
Si tú prefieres terminar
Por qué no dices la verdad
Dímelo, dímelo hoy mejor que mañana

A Otro


A Otro
Composer(s): Gil Rivera
Performer(s): Raphael



Te equivocaste de puerta
Aquí ya no vive aquel que recuerdas
Te equivocaste sin duda
El hombre que buscas dejó de existir
Ya no has de hallarte en sus ojos
Sus mismas pupilas hoy ven de otro modo
El tiempo cambia el cabello
La cara, los sueños, la sed y el sentir
Te equivocaste de vida
Ni yo me sentía lo muerto que estaba
Hoy ya no sé si te amaba
O fuimos fantasías de un cuento sin fin
Si tú me miras ahora
Soy otra persona y no estás en mi agenda
Te equivocaste de puerta
Lo siento no hay huella de tu amor en mí
Estás buscando a otro
A un hombre que murió
Estás buscando a otro
Al que una vez fui yo

Hoy Has Vuelto


Hoy Has Vuelto
Composer(s): Prada; José Miguel Rámos; Vera Gallado
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Algo ha muerto en mi interior, la música se fue
tus lágrimas, tu atardecer, me envuelven hoy
Y encuentro grande la ciudad, vació el corazón
donde el amor nació y murió... Dejándote
Soledad, compañera de mi vida
soledad, horizonte gris
soledad, siempre fuiste mi destino
soledad, déjame huir
Dime porque, hoy has vuelto... Soledad
Soledad, compañera de mi vida
soledad, grande como el mar
soledad, siempre fuiste mi destino
soledad, déjame escapar
Dime porque, has vuelto hoy
dime porque, hoy has vuelto... Soledad

A Number And A Name


A Number And A Name
Composer(s): Steve Gillette - Tom Campbell
First release by: Steve Gillette - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way

Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

Hoy Es El Dia


Hoy Es El Dia
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Raphael



Hoy es el dia, llego por fin
Todas mis dudas y demonios tendran fin
Y el gran esfuerzo que sufri siempre
Tendra compensacion, se bien a donde voy

Es el momento, no hay tal vez
Y todo el mundo va a rendirse a mis pies
Hoy es el dia, gano mi azar
Los sueños del ayer se que se cumpliran
Hoy es el dia, sera puntual
Todos los gritos, ritos y mitos son igual
Mi dia es, brillara mas que el sol
Pues las quimeras mias son

Se me nego hasta el pan y la sal
Ahora voy a estar muy por encima
Del bien y del mal
Hoy es el dia, no habra un error
Toda mi vida, ingenuino triunfador
No dudare, sabran quien soy
Hoy es el dia, es el gran dia
De ser dios

Hoy es el dia, tendre valor
Es hoy o nunca
El viento sopla a mi favor
Un dia asi no dira dios
Hoy es el dia
No es cualquier dia
Es el gran dia de ser dios

A Nova Conquista


A Nova Conquista
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Ricardo Bezerra
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eh, satisfeito da nova conquista
Eh, muito alegre de tanto te amar
Você só pensando na vida e nos saltos
Você só olhando no jeito meus passos
Como que me perguntasse
O que mais eu queria
Porque tudo acabava em silêncio
Eu te juro
Mas meu cigarro iluminava
Tua face quase triste de amar

Amei, eu amei, mas faz de conta
Que a vida é isto mesmo
Porque tudo acabava em silêncio
Eu te juro
Eu passei a vida esperando
E sem ela minha vida ia passar

Mas sei que a gente expande um tempo inútil
E a sorte
Quando esta chega não há quem segure
Então vou fazer-te uma promessa
Outro dia a gente vai se encontrar

Howzat


Howzat
Composer(s): Tony Mitchell; Garth Porter
Performer(s): Sherbet; Julianne Baird



You told me I was the one

The only one who got your head undone
And for a while
I believed the line that you spun
But I've been looking at you
Looking closely at the things you do
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to
How
how
howzat?
You messed about

I caught you out

Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at

It's good-bye
Well howzat?
It's good-bye
You only came for a smile
Eventhough you're really not my style
I didn't think that you'd run me round like you do
How
How
howzat?
You messed about

I caught you out

Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at

It's good-bye
Well howzat?
It's good-bye
Oh yeah

I find it quite interesting
A noun is a person place or thing

The flora and the fauna that I saw were really great
When I saw some bandits chasing the train
I was wishing I was back home again
I took a train took a train to another state

Like a bandit or an engineer
And every place that you can go
Like a state or a home

She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me
We gave her dog a big fat bone
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street

Mrs. Jones, a lady or a brother
And every place that you can go
Like a street or a corner

I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty
My best friend was waiting there for me
(He took an early ferry)
We went for a walk on the island you know
And in the middle of summer
It started to snow
I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty

Well every person you can know
Like a friend or the captain of a ship
And every place that you can go
An island or a sea
And anything that you can show
Like a statue, a ferry or snow
You know they're nouns

Well every person you can know
The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker
And every place that you can go

And anything that you can show

How's The World Treating You


How's The World Treating You
Composer(s): Chet Atkins; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Chet Atkins;
and various other artists



I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow
How's the world treating you?

Every sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
How's the world treating you?

Got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day you're away

Though our pathways have parted
To your memory I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken-hearted
How's the world treating you ?

Are you turning and yearning
Do you ever get through
Do you think of returning
How's the world treating you ?

Every sweet thing that mattered
How's the world treating you?
And I’m asking you darling
How's the world treating you?

A Noiva Da Cidade


A Noiva Da Cidade
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Francis Hime
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



``Tutu-Marambá não venha mais cá
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar''
``Tutu-Marambá não venha mais cá
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar''

Ai, como essa moça é descuidada
Com a janela escancarada
Quer dormir impunemente
Ou será que a moça lá no alto
Não escuta o sobressalto
Do coração da gente

Ai, quanto descuido o dessa moça
Que papai tá lá na roça
E mamãe foi passear
E todo marmanjo da cidade
Quer entrar
Nos versos da cantiga de ninar
Pra ser um Tutu-Marambá

Ai, como essa moça é distraída
Sabe lá se está vestida
Ou se dorme transparente
Ela sabe muito bem que quando adormece
Está roubando
O sono de outra gente

Ai, quanta maldade a dessa moça
E, que aqui ninguém nos ouça
Ela sabe enfeitiçar
Pois todo malandro da cidade
Quer entrar
Nos sonhos que ela gosta de sonhar
E ser um Tutu-Marambá

``Boi, boi, boi, boi da cara preta
Pega essa menina que tem medo de careta''

Howling At The Moon (Sha-La-La)


Howling At The Moon (Sha-La-La)
Composer(s): Dee Dee Ramone
Performer(s): The Ramones



Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la

Ships are docking, planes are landing
A never ending supply
No more nargo, no more gangster
Conservatives can cry

I took the law and threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la

It was glowing, glowing, glowing
Glowing in the dark
It was sparkling, sparkling
Sparkling, sparking in the night

I took the law...

Winter turns to summer
Sadness turns to fun
Keep the faith, baby
You broke the rules and won

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la

Keep it glowing, glowing,glowing
I'm not hurting anyone
Keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon

I took the law...

Oh baby, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby

I took the law and threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play

I'm smoking, baby
I'm smoking, oh baby

Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square


A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Composer(s): Holt Marvell - Manning Sherwin
First performance/First recording by: Judy Campbell/Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists



That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

I may be right I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole damned world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berekeley square

How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
To those hazy crazy nights we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

Ah this heart of mine
Loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

The dawn came stealing up
All gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous
I still remember how you smiled and said
Was that a dream or was it true?

Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of astaire
And like an echo far away
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

That night in Berkeley square

However Much I Booze


However Much I Booze
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who



I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie I just bring them down
I claim proneness to exaggeration
But the truth lies in my frustration
The children of the night, they all pass me by
Have to drench myself in brandy
In sleep I'll hide
But however much I booze
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibilities
Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me
My ego will just confuse me
Some day it's going to up and use me
Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
And however much I squirm
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!

Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating
Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
And on at me, and I don't care what you say
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
Like by some soul insane
In the morning I humbly detach myself
I take no blame
I just can't face my failure
I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
You at home can easily decide what's right
By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
But it don't help me that you know
This ain't no way out
Won't somebody tell me?
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Give me the key, lock it away

There ain't
There ain't
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
