Adiós Muchachos


Adiós Muchachos
((English Version: I Get Ideas (by Tony Martin) - 1951))
Composer(s): Julio César Sanders - César Vedani
Performer(s): Agustin Magaldi - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists



Adiós, muchachos, compañeros de mi vida
barra querida de aquellos tiempos
Me toca a mí hoy emprender la retirada
debo alejarme de mi buena muchachada
Adiós, muchachos. Ya me voy y me resigno...
Contra el destino nadie la talla...
Se terminaron para mí todas las farras
mi cuerpo enfermo no resiste más...

Acuden a mi mente
recuerdos de otros tiempos
de los bellos momentos
que antaño disfruté
cerquita de mi madre
santa viejita
y de mi noviecita
que tanto idolatré...
¿Se acuerdan que era hermosa
más bella que una diosa
y que ebrio yo de amor
le di mi corazón
mas el Señor, celoso
de sus encantos
hundiéndome en el llanto
me la llevó?

Es Dios el juez supremo
No hay quien se le resista
Ya estoy acostumbrado
su ley a respetar
pues mi vida deshizo
con sus mandatos
al robarme a mi madre
y a mi novia también
Dos lágrimas sinceras
derramo en mi partida
por la barra querida
que nunca me olvidó
y al darles, mis amigos
mi adiós postrero
les doy con toda mi alma
mi bendición...

What About Love?


What About Love?
Composer(s): Brian Allen; Sheron Alton; Jim Vallance
Performer(s): Heart



I've been lonely, I've been waitin' for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through
To your heart

You've been hiding, never lettin' it show
Always tryin' to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well on the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I can't tell you what you're feelin' inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missin' and you got to look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

Oh, love
Oh, oh, what about love, love
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
What about love, love, love, love
What about, what about love
Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...ooh...

What A World


What A World
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill



Now it was Christmas Day in the jailhouse
The old man sat in his cell
"Put out your pudding, for treacle"
He heard the warden yell
"If you want treacle on your pudding
Put it out without delay"
The old man put out his pudding
And the warden took it away

Chorus
What a world, (what a world) what a place, (what a place)
Ain't you glad you're a member of the human race

Now the folksinger came from America
To sing at the Albert Hall
He sang his songs of protest
And fairer shares for all
He sang how the poor were much too poor
And the rich too rich by far
Then he drove back to his penthouse
In his brand new Rolls Royce car

[chorus]

Now Annie's a shorthand typist
Working for the B.B.C.
Her brother Jackie's in prison d
Doing three years for forgery
Her sister Josie's in Holloway
In Dartmoor is her Uncle Jim
And her dad runs a pirate radio ship
But she never talks about him

[chorus]

Now three old maids had a she-cat
Kept her indoors night and day
Kept her away from the he-cats
Thought she'd like it better that way
Then one old maid went and got married
The next morning she hastened to write
A note to the others which simply said
"Let kitty out tonight"

[chorus]

Now the button was pressed, the world destroyed
Leaving just one solitary man
And at the top of the Empire State Building
His lonely existance began
But his loneliness was too much so he jumped
And he fell like a bird with one wing
And as he passed the seventh floor
He heard the telephone ring

[chorus]

Adiós Juventud


Adiós Juventud
Performer(s): Jaime Roos



Adiós Juventud
No puedo esconder las canas
Adiós Juventud las ganas
De volver a salir
A marcha camión
A grapa y limón
Me queda un verso por decir
Antes de partir
Adiós Corazón
Adiós Carnaval
(Adiós Barrio Sur)
El tiempo no pasa en vano
Adiós Barrio Sur la mano
De unos cuantos fue cruel
No les convenció
El borocotó
Un nuevo cementerio ven
Les parece bien
Adiós a Cuareim
Adiós al talud
(Adiós Corazón)
El cuerpo ya no responde
Adiós Juventud adónde
Voy a ir si no estás
Parezco un Pierrot
Que triste quedó
Con el recuerdo de un disfraz
Que no sirve más
Adiós Marabú
Adiós Carnaval
(Adiós Juventud)
Prometo volver entero
Adiós Carnaval espero
Recorrerte otra vez
Cantarle al rigor
Un nuevo cuplé
Hasta que el rulo del tambor
Marque otro final
Adiós Carnaval

Parece mentira las cosas que veo
Por las calles de Montevideo

Oh, what a wonderful world
What a heavenly show
What a thrill and a glow
When I’m with you, it’s a wonderful world
What a pleasure to live, to receive, and to give

My heart is larking, laughing and lyrical
Like a bird winging
What a marvellous miracle has occurred
Here me singing

Oh, what a wonderful world
What a dream it can be
Only if you love me

Adios Amor


Adios Amor
Composer(s): Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila



Je ressens de l'amour pour toi
Et pourtant je n'ai pas le droit
D'imaginer d'être un jour à toi
Puisque tu portes une alliance au doigts

Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir

Je ne suis pas aventureuse
Mais ne pourrais jamais être heureuse
Avec l'idée que par ma faute
J'aurais fait le malheur d'une autre

Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir

Je préfère abandonner
Les rêves que nous avions faits
Je sais bien que j'ai raison
Malgré toute la peine que j'ai

Adios amor je m'en vais ce soir
Car il vaut mieux ne plus se revoir
Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir

Ne cherche pas à me retenir
Adios amor laisse moi partir

What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)


What A Wonderful World
French & Spanish Titles:
Quel Monde Merveilleux; Que Mundo Maravilloso
Composer(s): George David Weiss; Bob Thiele
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong



I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Adios Amigo


Adios Amigo
Composer(s): Ralph Freed - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Adios amigo, adios my friend
The road we have travelled has come to an end
When two love the same love, one love has to lose
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose

Adios compadre, what must be must be
Remember to name one muchacho for me
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend

Adios compadre, let us shed no tears
May all your mañanas bring joy through the years
Away from these memories, my life I must spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend

Adieu Mon Pays


Adieu Mon Pays
Composer(s): Enrico Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



J'ai quitté mon pays
J'ai quitté ma maison
Ma vie ma triste vie
Se traîne sans raison

J'ai quitté mon soleil
J'ai quitté ma mer bleue
Leurs souvenirs se réveillent
Bien après mon adieu

Soleil ! soleil de mon pays perdu
Des villes blanches que j'aimais
Des filles que j'ai jadis connues

J'ai quitté une amie
Je vois encore ses yeux
Ses yeux mouillés de pluie
De la pluie de l'adieu

Je revois son sourire
Si près de mon visage
Il faisait resplendir
Les soirs de mon village

Mais, du bord du bateau
Qui m'éloignait du quai
Une chaîne dans l'eau
A claqué comme un fouet

J'ai longtemps regardé
Ses yeux bleus qui fuyaient aient aient
La mer les a noyés dans le flot
Du regret et et et et

What A Town


What A Town
Composer(s): Rick Danko; Bobby Charles
Performer(s): David Bromberg;
Rick Danko; Tompall Glaser



What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around

I looked to my left, looked to my right
And what do I see?
All the young girls dreaming, old ones scheming
Call girls calling after me

What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around

The music was playin, the people were swaying
Keepin the beat
In the alley, where they all rally
On them old cobblestone streets

What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around

Now I'm going home, I'm all alone
I'm putting my day to an end
So many places, so many faces
All of these people my friends

What a town what a town what a town
I fall in love every time I turn around...

Adieu, Miss Molly


Adieu, Miss Molly ((aka C'est Fini Miss Molly (Johnny Hallyday) - 1964; Jolie Miss Molly (Eddy Mitchell) - 1963)) ((Adapted from: Good Golly Miss Molly (Little Richard) - 1958)) ((Danish Version: Goe, Gamle Fru Olsen (Rock Nalle & The Flames) - 1977)) Composer(s): Robert Alexander Blackwell - John Marascalco - Michel Mallory Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1975



C'est fini Miss Molly
Vous m'avez épuisé
C'est fini Miss Molly
Oui tous vos baisers mon saoulé
Ça doit bien faire une semaine
Que l'on ne s'est pas rhabillé

Pour vivre j'ai besoin d'autre chose que de vous faire l'amour
Au sinon je vais mourir avant d'avoir revu le jour

C'est fini Miss Molly
Je perds par abandon
Si l'amour devient une course
Avec vous, c'est un marathon

J'étais venu pour réparer votre télévision
Et je me retrouve au lit sur un volcan en éruption

C'est fini Miss Molly
Vous allez me tuer
J'ai besoin d'un an de vacances
Et je vais changer de métier

C'est fini Miss Molly
Ou j'appelle au secours
C'est fini Miss Molly
Ou je saute dans la cour
Il faut me rendre mes affaires
Cachées depuis le premier jour

J'étais venu ici pour réparer votre télévision
Et je me retrouve au lit sur un volcan en éruption

C'est fini Miss Molly
Vous allez me tuer
J'ai besoin d'un an de vacances
Et je vais changer de métier

What A Little Moonlight Can Do
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your heart's fluttering all day long
You only stutter 'cause your poor tongue
Just will not utter the words
I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peeping through
He'll get bored
You can't resist him
All you'll say
When you have kissed him is
Ooh, ooh, ooh

What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh

What A Good Man He Is


What A Good Man He Is
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Al Cleveland
Performer(s): Tammi Terrell



Say, that man of mine, he's as sturdy as a rock
Made out of real good stuff, he's made out of real good stock
With the big strong arms and hands that he has
He knows how to handle me like I was made out of glass
Pretty good lovin' (pretty good lovin')
Pretty good kissin' (pretty good kissin')
It seems so unreal that this man of steel
Could possess such a tender feel
Let this girl tell the world
Oh what a good man he is (oh what a good man he is)
Wo wo what a good man he is (oh what a good he is)

He makes the fact that he loves me clearly understood
He makes me feel so happy, girl, that he makes me feel so good
He knows that I need lovin' and I don't need neglect
So he comes around me constantly to make sure that I get
Pretty good lovin' (pretty good lovin')
Pretty good kissin' (pretty good kissin')
Nothing know I that he doesn't try
To keep my hopes up high
Let this girl tell the world
Oh what a good man he is (oh what a good man he is)
Wanna tell the world about my baby (oh what a good man he is)

All right
(Yes indeed, it's him I need)
(Yes indeed, it's him I need)

I wanna say that man of mine is determined as can be
To make a good life for him and make a good life for me
Works every day grindin' the ax
But I know what to give him when it's time to relax
Pretty good lovin' (pretty good lovin')
Pretty good kissin' (pretty good kissin')
Days that he's mean I've seldom seen
They're far and few between
Let this girl tell the world
Oh what a good man he is (oh what a good man he is)
Wanna tell the world about my baby (oh what a good man he is)

Wo wo wo wo wo what a good man he is (oh what a good man he is)
Got a whole lot of other (oh what a good man he is)
Don't worry I'll love another, no (oh what a good man he is)
Let this girl tell the world

Adieu Créature


Adieu Créature
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Adieu, créature
J'm'en vais dans la nature
Et ne m'en veuille pas
Tu ne seras jamais pour moi
Qu'une jolie créature
Perdue dans la nature
Aimant un peu, beaucoup
Trop, pas assez ou pas du tout
Je suis là pour je n'sais qui pour je n'sais quoi
Tu m'as pris pour je n'sais quoi pour je n'sais qui
Et moi je n'sais ce qui m'a pris ce qui m'a pris
De venir ici
Adieu, créature
J'm'en vais dans la nature
Et ne m'en veuille pas,
Une de ces nuits on s'reverra
Adieu, créature
Adieu, créature
On se reverra
Quelque part dans la nature!

What A Fool Believes


What A Fool Believes
Composer(s): Michael McDonald; Kenny Loggins
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



He came from somewhere back in here long ago
the sentimental fool don't see
trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
once in her life

She musters a smilefor his nostalgic tale
never coming near what he wanted to say
only to realize
it never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
as he rises to her apology
anybody else would surely know
he's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
no wise man has the power
to reason away what seems to be
is always better than nothing
and nothing at all...

keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
where he can still believe there's a place in her life
someday, someway
she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
as he rises to her apology
anybody else would surely know
he's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
no wise man has the power
to reason away what seems to be
is always better than nothing
and nothing at all...

Adieu To My Island


Adieu To My Island
Composer(s): Travis Edmonson
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad
and my heart tells me that's home

I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad
and my heart tells me that's home

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

The sun's comin' out of the ocean, now
and in an hour I'll be gone.
Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in
for the one that I'll be on.

I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad
and my heart tells me that's home

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

What A Diff'rence A Day Made


What A Diff'rence A Day Made
Adapted from: Cuando Vuelva A Tu Lado - 1924
Composer(s): Stanley Adams; María Grever
Performer(s): The Dorsey Brothers Orch. (Vocal: Bob Crosby) - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day made
There's a rainbow before me

Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on menu

What a diff'rence a day made
And the diff'rence is you
