Al Oeste De La Espera


Al Oeste De La Espera
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Al oeste de la espera
va la ardilla tras la nuez
y el anzuelo disfrazado de gusano
arrastra un pez
A la espera...

Una Biblia humedecida
en la mesa de un bar
Una Biblia no leída
traiga una copa más
A la espera...

La cigüeña que se aleja
de la universidad
Y el examen de probetas
que no pudo soportar
A la espera...

Las pisadas de cemento
de un niño sin amor
que en ayunos descubrió
la historia de Colón
A la espera... a la espera...

Al oeste de la espera
hay guardado un lugar
donde yo, sin voz, estoy
soñando una canción

Al oeste de la espera
Y más al norte de mi voz
Al oeste de una estrella
el mundo vuelve
a ser un corazón

When You Walk In The Room


When You Walk In The Room ((Italian Versions: C'è Una Strana Espressione Nei Tuoi Occhi (The Rokes) - 1965; Ciò Che Fai (I New Dada) - 1965)) Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon First release by: Jackie deShannon - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Maybe it's a dream come true
Walkin' right along side of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room

Al Norte Del Sur


Al Norte Del Sur
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Se juraron amor
para toda la vida
sobre el suelo mojado
estación Puerto Montt
la nariz en el vidrio…
empañó su sonrisa
despedida con sonido
de motor…

Sebastián va tercero
medicina en Valdivia
y en el bus va primero
justo atrás del chofer
besos por la ventana
y esa niebla maldita
desvanece como un sueño
a Maribel…

Oh… la carretera
Oh… la Luna nueva…

Y en la inmensidad …
en la oscuridad…
hay luces que vuelan
hay sombras que quedan
siluetas que vagan
al Norte del Sur…
en la noche azul
es largo el camino
extraño el destino
al Norte del Sur…

Maribel desayuna
con la radio encendida
los tejados murmuran
un secreto vapor
en el cable a las diez
ella lee noticias
no hay gaviotas
en el cielo de Angelmó…

Pocas horas al norte
una silla vacía
clase de anatomía
alguien que no llegó
sólo el ojo bohemio
de una lechuza
vio a un cometa
que en el puente
se quedó…

Oh…la carretera…
Oh…la Luna nueva…

When You Tell Me That You Love Me


When You Tell Me That You Love Me
Composer(s): J. Bettis; A. Hammond
Performer(s): Diana Ross



I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

You love me
When you tell me that you love me

Al Niño Niño


Al Niño Niño
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Cuando sea grande, mi niño niño
Cuando sea grande, mi niño grande
Cuando sea grande mi niño y ande la tierra
respire el aire... no la tormenta
Cuando sea grande cuide su estrella
No es tanta la distancia entre usted y ella
Cuando sea grande, sueñe calladito
y así podrá encontrar el tiempo perdido
Y baje lunas hasta la tierra
porque el siglo que comienza
camina al sur
Y alégrese
planeta confundido
que el futuro es de los niños
... aún
Cuando sea grande, mi niño, viva
con la sabiduría de los delfines
Cuando sea grande... más grande
ame a los niños
No sea esquivo con los humildes
Cuando sea grande, mi niño, viva
la simple geometría de una caricia
Cuando sea grande, mi niño
juéguese entero
por lo que sienta que es verdadero
Y baje soles hasta la tierra
porque el siglo que comienza
camina al sur
Y alégrese
planeta confundido
que el futuro es de los niños
... aún

When You Say Nothing At All


When You Say Nothing At All
Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Keith Whitley



It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

Chorus:
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

(Chorus twice)

Time To Go


Time To Go
Composer(s): Y. Alain - S. Frank - R. Getzov
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan



Time to go, let’s have one cigarette
Then I’d better get started
Guess I’ve said all I have to say

Time to go, not a single regret
Should have known we’d be parted
And that I’d fall in love this way

I thought love was a thing to resist
Till we kissed like I’ve never been kissed
Though I knew you were playing a game
I fell madly in love just the same

Time to go, I am certain, and yet
I am so broken hearted
Maybe we’ll meet again some day
And if you feel a spark, Babe
Then we can try it all over again
But till then it’s time to go

When You Need A Laugh


When You Need A Laugh
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Patsy Cline



You can’t imagine how it hurts me to have you treat me like you do
Knowing that my love is just a joke to you
But I’ll take it just to see you and laugh as teardrops fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

Everybody says I am crazy to let you treat me this way
But I can’t explain so what else can I say
At least I’m on your mind when you’re laughing
Somehow that breaks the fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

I’d gladly trade the laugh you get, for the making fun of me
To be around the one I love and need so desperately
So even if the laugh’s on me, I don’t mind at all
So when you need a laugh, give me a call
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

Alabam


Alabam
Composer(s): Lloyd Estel Copas
Performer(s): Cowboy Copas
and multiple other artists



Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street
The people down there are eatin' like wild geese
So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam
Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time
Eatin' up their chickens and drinkin' their wine
I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam
Some folks say that a tramp won't steal but I cought three in my corn field
I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
Well one had a bushel and one had a peck one had a roast'near tied around his neck
I'm on my way I'm a goin' back to Alabam

Hey there comes Sal walkin' down the street with the run down shoes tied on her feet
Mornin' honey I'm on my way to Alabam
Hey hello Sal now how are you with the run down slipper and tore up shoe
I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam
When I get ready to leave this earth I'm a goin' back to my money's worth
I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam I'm a goin' on back to Alabam

When You Love Me


When You Love Me
French Title: Quand Tu M'aimes
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



It's the devil and hell
Sharing games that we play
But it's heaven as well
that the Gods send our way

When you love me

An eclipse of the moon
As we storm on the sands
It's the wild ocean spume
Come to die in your hands

When you love me

For you touch every sense
With your body on mine
So in tune and intense
As we breathlessly climb
To the ultimate splendor

When you love me

It's the cry in the night
Of your loving lament
Dying soft in the light
When all passion is spent
In the joy of surrender

When you love me

Nineteen Years Old


Nineteen Years Old
(Traditional)



As I was walking down by the Strand
I met a young lady all dressed up so grand
With features of finery and jewels set in gold
Said she was a maiden, just nineteen years old

Her fingers were tapered, her neck like a swan
Her head tipped a little, her voice not too strong
In six weeks we were married, the wedding bells tolled
I'd married that maiden, just nineteen years old

After the wedding we retired to rest
I thought I would die when that female undressed
A trunk full of cotton she first did unload
I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old

She took off her left leg as high as her knee
She took off her fingers, I countered but three
While there on the carpet her glass eye did roll
I thought it darned funny for a nineteen year old

She took off her eyebrows, I thought I would faint
Next from her mug came a carload of paint
She took off her false wig, her old bald head told
I thought it peculiar for a nineteen year old

She took out her teeth, I jumped up in terror
Her chin and her nose fell right in together
Now I'm telling you folks she was a sight to behold
That fair little maiden just nineteen years old

Now all you young fella's when courting you go
Make sure she is perfect from head to her toe
You'll pay for your folly, like mine you you'll be sold
To a patched up old maid about ninety years old

When You Lose The One You Love


When You Lose The One You Love
Composer(s): Rodd Arden; Jimmy Harper; Don Pelosi
Performer(s): David Whitfield



When you lose the one you love
How lonely life can be
With just the memory
Those loving souvenirs
Will only bring you tears
When you lose the one you love

Friends may smile at you and say
That time can heal your pain
You'll fall in love again
But in your heart you know
It never can be so
When you lose the one you love

There was someone dear to me
I lost through jealousy
Now we're apart
So will you take heed my friend
A million tears won't mend
A broken heart

Just close your eyes to jealousy
And if you love her so
Don't ever let her go
Because I know, my friend
Your happiness will end
When you lose the one you love

Al Margen De La Vida


Al Margen De La Vida
Composer(s): P. Barouh - Francis Lai - R. de León
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo tengo por misión cantar
Y dejo en mi canción volar
Y va mi corazón feliz
Al margen de la vida
Yo gozo con hacer el bien
Y siempre sin mirar a quien
Pues donde vi un pesar
Mi voz logró la paz llevar
Tal vez al final llegué a recoger
Del mundo traiciones
Más yo sin dudar siempre seguiré
Sembrando canciones
He visto por amor vivir
Dos seres y después reñir
Y luego cuando les canté
Llorando se buscaron
Me gusta ser así, no sé
Tal vez un día cambiaré
Os puedo asegurar
Que no hay razón para cambiar
A mí por quitar penas al amor
Mil gracias me han dado
Con ver sonreír a mi alrededor
Me siento pagado
Yo gozo con hacer el bien
Y siempre sin mirar a quien
Pues donde vi un pesar
Mi voz logró la paz llevar
Y así, tan feliz, voy con mi canción
Por tierras y mares
Me iré cuando ya en mi corazón
No queden cantares, no queden cantares
Cantares en mi corazón

When You Look In The Heart Of A Rose


When You Look In The Heart Of A Rose
Composer(s): Marian Gillespie; Florence Methven



Deep in my heart I hold for you
A tender thought, so sweet and true
Nobody knows but this little rose, I give you

I give my love sweetheart to you
Hid in a rose, so safe, secure
Trusting you'll know, for ever and aye
'Twill endure

Dear little rose, with your heart of gold
Dear little rose, may your petals fold
My secret sweet I will trust you to keep
Deep in your heart 'twill repose
No one will know what your leaves conceal
No one will guess what they could reveal
You will know then, that I love you dear
When you look in the heart of a rose

Al Lado Del Camino


Al Lado Del Camino
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Me gusta estar al lado del camino
fumando el humo mientras todo pasa
Me gusta abrir los ojos y estar vivo
Tener que vérmelas con la resaca
entonces navegar se hace preciso
en barcos que se estrellen en la nada
Vivir atormentado de sentido, creo que esta, sí
esta es la parte mas pesada

En tiempos donde nadie escucha a nadie
En tiempos donde todos contra todos
En tiempos egoístas y mezquinos
En tiempos donde siempre estamos solos
Habrá que declararse incompetente
en todas las materias del mercado
Habrá que declararse un inocente
o habrá que ser abyecto y desalmado
Yo ya no pertenezco a ningún ismo
me considero vivo y enterrado
Yo puse las canciones en tu walkman
el tiempo a mi me puso en otro lado
Tendré que hacer lo que es y no debido
Tendré que hacer el bien y hacer el daño
No olvides que el perdón es lo divino
Y errar a veces suele ser humano

No es bueno nunca hacerse de enemigos
que no estén a la altura del conflicto
Que piensan que hacen una guerra
y se hacen pis en la cama como chicos
Que rondan por siniestros ministerios
haciendo la parodia del artista
Que todo lo que brilla en este mundo
tan solo les da caspa y les da envidia

Yo era un pibe triste y encantado
de Beatles, Caña legui y maravillas
los libros, las canciones y los pianos
el cine, las traiciones, los enigmas
mi padre, las cervezas, las pastillas, los misterios, el whisky malo
los óleos, el amor los escenarios
el hambre, el frío, el crímen, el dinero y mis 10 tías
me hicieron este hombre enreverado
si alguna vez me cruzas por la calle
regalame tu beso y no te aflijas

Si ves que estoy pensando en otra cosa
no es nada malo es que paso una brisa
la brisa de la Muerte enamorada
que ronda como un ángel asesino
Mas no te asustes siempre se me pasa
es solo la intuición de mi destino

Me gusta estar al lado del camino
fumando el humo mientras todo pasa
Me gusta regresarme del olvido
para acordarme en sueños de mi casa
El chico que jugaba a la pelota
del 49585
nadie nos prometio un jardín de rosas
hablamos del peligro de estar vivos

No vine a divertir a tu familia
mientras el mundo se cae a pedazos
Me gusta estar al lado del camino
Me gusta sentirte a mi lado
Me gusta estar al lado del camino
Dormirte cada noche entre mis brazos
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino
Es mas entretenido y mas barato
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino

When You Know You're Not Forgotten By The Girl You Can't Forget


When You Know You're Not Forgotten
By The Girl You Can't Forget
Composer(s): J. Fredric Helf; Ed Gardenier
Performer(s): Frank C. Stanley;
and various other artists



Gently the breeze sighs thro' the trees
Two sweethearts strolling alone
She heard him say at dawn of day
"Far from your side I must roam"
Dear ere I go, just let me know
You won't forget when we part
One who loves you fondly and true
It cheers a sad lonely heart

When you know you're not forgotten
by the girl you can't forget
When you find the girl you left behind
is thinking of you yet
`Round your heart a feeling stealing
Comes to drive away regret
When you know you're not forgotten
By the girl you can't forget

"Roses may fade" answered the maid
"Clouds may turn sunshine to gloom
But in my heart, tho' we're apart
Love for you ever will bloom
Thro' weary years, thro' smiles and tears
You'll find me faithful and true
Dear Heart you'll learn when you return, that I'm still waiting for you"

When you know you're not forgotten
by the girl you can't forget
When you find the girl you left behind
is thinking of you yet
`Round your heart a feeling stealing
Comes to drive away regret
When you know you're not forgotten
By the girl you can't forget

Al Horizonte De Un Suburbio


Al Horizonte De Un Suburbio
Composer(s): Jorge Luis Borges - Victor Proncet
Performer(s): Valeria Munarriz & Jorge Luis Borges



Pampa:
Yo diviso tu anchura que ahonda las afueras
yo me estoy desangrando en tus ponientes

Pampa:
Yo te oigo en las tenaces guitarras sentenciosas
y en altos benteveos y en el ruido cansado
de los carros de pasto que vienen del verano

Pampa:
El ámbito de un patio colorado me basta
para sentirte mía

Pampa:
Yo sé que te desgarran
surco y callejones y el viento que te cambia
Pampa sufrida y macha que ya estás en los cielos
no sé si eres la muerte. Sé que estás en mi pecho

When You Hear Big Ben


When You Hear Big Ben
Composer(s): Harry Leon; Mark Malloy; Jack Scott
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Josef Locke



When you hear Big Ben, you’re home again
Home, dear, where you belong
Though you’re far away each night and day
You’ll cry when you hear his song
He stands by the river that flows to the sea
His hands are together like ours used to be
When you hear Big Ben, you’re home again
Home in my arms sweetheart

(Chorus)

When you hear Big Ben, you’re home again
Home, dear, where you belong
Though you’re far away each night and day
You’ll cry when you hear his song

(Doreen)
He stands by the river that flows to the sea
His hands are together like ours used to be

(All)
When you hear Big Ben, you’re home again
Home in my arms sweetheart

Al Final De La Segunda Luna


Al Final De La Segunda Luna
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Esta va a ser mi canción mas sencilla
Que no hablará de nada, que hablará de todo
No es necesario mencionar la vida
Para que se sienta su presencia en los ojos
Al final de la segunda luna
Empecé a no hacer nada con las manos
Sólo por un momento
Y entonces tuve ganas
De hablar al ancho justo
De la palabra humana
De la palabra humana

Como si no tuviera ningún nombre
Y no existiera historia de los hombres
Mas allá del atávico pasado
Del presente y futuro deseado
Sin ningún compromiso con el mundo
Como si todo fuese este segundo
Cual si todo naciera con mis labios
Cual si todo muriera con mis labios

Ay otra dimensión desconocida
Más fuerte que la muerte y que la vida
Más sustancial que el mundo y su belleza
Que nace y muere siempre donde empieza
Estar como se está, como se siente
Es más claro y más negro que decirlo
Que tratar de explicarlo
Por eso ya no sigo
Sólo quise decir
Que es tremendo estar vivo
Que es tremendo estar vivo

When You Dance
Composer(s): Andrew Jones
Performer(s): The Turbans;

When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

When you dance you'll feel the warmth of her embrace
Then you'll know this feeling, yeah is no disgrace
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

You may do a rhumba or a tango
Mambo, calypso or a strand
Lights are turned down low
You go hand in....

When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance
