Alas
Alas
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Cuando estés, cansada de seguir
sola, y a nadie importes ya
sola, entre la gente
sola, y al borde de llorar
Abriré, mis alas sobre ti
cruzaré, por ti la tempestad
venceré, todos tus miedos
y entre mis brazos, volarás
Vuela, yo iré detrás de ti
vuela, cuando no puedas más
vuela, sobre tus lágrimas
vuela, sobre tu soledad
Alas, que inventaré por ti
alas, de sueños y de amor
alas, llenas de vida
que alejarán de ti el dolor

When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman
When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman
Composer(s): Even Stevens
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard
Everybody wants her, everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
You know that it's crazy, you want to trust her
And then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone
Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is, I've been fooled before
By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends

Aujourd'hui qui se souvient
Des aventures d'Aladin
Et de l'histoire fabuleuse
De la lampe merveilleuse?
Les parents ont oublié
À leurs enfants, de conter
L'aventure extraordinaire
D'Aladin le légendaire
Moi je suis le grand Génie
Qui, dans la lampe, endormi
Attend les commandements
D'Aladin le tout puissant
Nous combattions des vizirs
Méchants, capables du pire
Aladin gagnait toujours
Mille et une nuits d'amour

When You're In Love
Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Frankie Laine
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
When you're in love life will be, but a song
Heaven above yours will be ever long
Your soul will be aflame with madness you can't tame
You tremble when you find, love is not blind
When you're in love you'll know joy unsurpassed
The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love
When you're in love life will be, but a song
Heaven above yours will be ever long
Your soul will be aflame with madness you can't tame
You tremble when you find, love is not blind
When you're in love you'll know joy unsurpassed
The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love

Aladdin's Lamp
Aladdin's Lamp
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
When I find Aladdin`s lamp some day
I`ll rub the lamp and when the smoke clears away
I`ll ask the genie grant me my one wish come true
That the girl I love would only love me too
I`ve heard that in days of old
The lamp did whatever it was told
So when I find that thing
I`m wishing her a wedding ring
I won`t ask for gold or wealth or fame
I`m searching for a way to change her name
I`ll ask for her lips (her lips), her arms (her arms) gotta hold her tight
Oh tell where on earth is Aladdin`s lamp tonight
I`ve heard that in days of old
The lamp did whatever it was told
So when I find that thing
I`m wishing her a wedding ring I won`t ask for gold or wealth or fame
I`m searching for a way to change her name
I`ll ask for her lips (her lips), her arms (her arms) gotta hold her tight
Oh tell where on earth is Aladdin`s lamp tonight

When You're Hot, You're Hot
Composer(s): Jerry Reed
Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens , winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I jest kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
And finally they jest threw up their hands and said
"When you hot, you hot"
I said "Yeah?"
When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again
When you're hot, you're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)
Well, now every time I rolled them dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me
I turned around and there was a big old cop
He said "Hello, boys" and then he gave us a grin 'n' said
"Look like I'm gonna hafta haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence"
I said, "Well, son when you hot, you hot"
He said "Yeah"
When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
You can 'splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when you're hot, you're hot
You're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)
Well, when he took us into court I couldn't believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said "Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal"
"I'll pay ya that hundred I owe ya if you'll get me outta this spot"
So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
"Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot"
'n' I said "Thanks a lot"
When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said "Well, when you're hot, you're hot"
I said "well I'll tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal"
"If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take out in back of this courthouse
"And I'd try a little bit of your honor on"
"You understand that, you hillbilly?"
"Who gonna collect my welfare?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Pay for my Cadillac?"
Whadda you mean 'contempt of court'?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Judge"
"Oh Judge"
"Judgie Poo!!"
When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not

Aladdin

Aladdin
I had a strange exciting dream last night
I was a wanderer with no love in sight
When all at once I saw his magic light
Aladdin standing there
He asked me if I had a wish to make
I thought of you and knew the wish I`d take
He rubbed his lamp and then he said `Awake`
Aladdin I`m on my way
I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true
I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine
I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true
I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine

When You're Good You're Lonesome
When You're Good You're Lonesome
Composer(s): Grace Doro
Performer(s): Edythe Baker
I feel so sad and lonely I wish I knew just why
Every one is happy
While all I do is sigh
I walk the straight and narrow path
I'm good as I can be
Maybe that's just what is wrong
For it seems to me
My mother always told me "Be very, very good"
I took her advice
Like a good child always should
I went to bed at eight o'clock
But what did that get me?
I have missed an awful lot
Now I plainly see
When you are good, you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue
Sometimes it seems very hard to believe
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
I think it'll get me a sweetie who'll make a fuss over me
Just love and pet me all the day
Then I'll never have to say
When you are good you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue

Alacrán (Resaca)
Alacrán (Resaca)
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Habíamos bebido la noche sin parar
estaban casi todos
en el medio de aquel bar
no se por que querían
seguirla en un hotel
había tres o cuatro
disfrazados de mujer
pero ahora, ahora
estabamos reunidos
en lo de un esquimal
casi todos los chiflados
dos jirafas y un sultán
yo tengo una teoría
y vos un alacrán
después de tanta cosa
es mejor, es mejor no bailar
pero ahora, ahora
tengo resaca, resaca
un tipo me seguía
en una fiesta gay
trataban solo un tema
como es la primera vez
no tuve mas remedio
que ponerme a beber
después salí corriendo
y en un bar me emborrache
pero ahora, ahora
ya no estas muerta
habíamos vaciado mas de la mitad
yo había visto un tajo
y quería mas y mas
pedía que pedía
y no sabia que
botella por botella
y ya no es un tajo
sino tres
pero ahora, ahora
solo tengo resaca, resaca
ya no estas muerta
ya no estas muerta
confirmado
lo hacia sin parar
se seca la garganta
y no se puede respirar
pero un día
ya no estabas vos
y yo como un suicida
en esta mierda el rock & roll
pero ahora, pero ahora, tengo resaca
habíamos cogido
el día sin parar
habíamos fumado
y ya no hay nada que fumar
en medio de aquel viento
nadie mas que yo
y algunos afiebrados
que se esconden de este sol
pero ahora,
pero ahora
ya no estas muerta

When You're A Long, Long Way From Home
When You're A Long, Long Way From Home
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Geo. W. Meyer
Performer(s): Harry James;
and various other artists
I know where the sun is shining
I know where someone is pining
just a simple pal a country gal
I know she's true
What's the use of tears and sighing
after many years of trying
guess I'm going home no more to roam
I'm feeling blue
When I leave this town I'll hurry
where they never frown or worry
when I say goodbye no one will sigh
when I am gone give me back the brooks
and clover with those shady nooks
all over I could be content without a cent
where I was born
When you're a long long way from home
it makes you feel like you're alone
it's hard to find a pal that's true
that you can tell your troubles to
and when you send a letter home
your mother's voice rings in your ears
and then you cross the T's with kisses
what a strange world this is
then you dot the I's with tears
and all the sunshine turns to gloom
when you're a long way from home

Alabanzas
Alabanzas
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Alabada sea la mano
buena para remediar
Alabado el olvidado
alabado el olvidado
en cualquier rincón del mar
Alabado sea el dolor
lumbre de profundidad
Alabado el amor
aunque sea necesidad
Cada vez
son más enanos los talvez
y crece la condenación
de los así será
Los perdidos reinventan la ocasión
del colmillo animal
Alabado el todavía
que me sirve una canción
Alabado cada día
alabado cada día
de labor e ilustración
Alabada la verdad
como material de luz
Alabada mi ciudad
cuando baja de la cruz
Poco amor
el verdadero da dolor
La voz de las antenas va
sustituyendo al dios
Cuando finalice la mutación
nueva edad media habrá
Quien ayer me daba un beso
ahora me trata de usted
Yo no quiero aprender eso
yo no quiero aprender eso
ni al derecho ni al revés
Búsquenme la buena mano
necesito el curador
Después de haber sido hermano
es muy triste ser señor

Er Kan Altijd Nog Een Tandje Bij
Er Kan Altijd Nog Een Tandje Bij
Composer(s): Bart Peeters
Performer(s): Bart Peeters
'k Had een vriendin die bij de turnkring was
ze had een slangelijf
Dat kwam soms goed van pas
ja dat stond buiten kijf
Ik zei "leve de Kamasutra"
maar mag ik nu weer vrij
Weet je wat mijn vriendin toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dat was wat mijn turnkringlief toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
Ik liep te joggen in het park
er hing nog mist
Ik botste op een stijve hark
een exhibitionist
Ik vroeg heb je het niet koud in die barrige kledij
weet je wat die exhibitionist toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dat was wat die exhibitionist toen zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
Ik richt mij soms tot God de heer
Al zegt Hij nooit iets terug
Dan zeg ik God ik ben het weer
ik roddel nooit achter u rug
Dan maakt die rotellende hier op aarde U nog blij
dan denk ik soms alsof hij zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dan lijkt het soms alsof hij smilend zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij
dan lijkt het soms alsof hij smilend zei
er kan altijd nog een tandje bij

When You're A Free Man
When You're A Free Man
Composer(s): Mike Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Time... quickly passes by
If only we could talk again
Someday I (hope) I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
High... on a mountain side
We laughed and talked of things to come
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You left your country for peace of mind
And something tells me you're doin' alright
How are the children and Rosemarie
I long to see you
And be in your company
Someday I (hope) I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You gave love freely to those with tears
Your eyes were sad (when) you saw (their) need
You know that love lasts for eternity
Let's be God's children
And live in perfect peace
Peace perfect peace
Perfect peace
Peace
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When you're a free man
When we're all free men again
When you're a free man

Alabama Soft Spoken Blues
Composer(s): Maggie Graham - Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
Southern man, you sure are pretty
got a smile to still the city
And Lord, you know, you got those sleepy eyes
Alabama sweet-talking baby
calmed the heart of a lonely lady
You kept me flying high
and the leaving easy
And it's Dallas in the rain
and I was dreaming
October winds still blowing, Lord
you know the song were flowing
From a broken-hearted lady
by the wayside
Listen to my song, you
kept it ringing clean and strong
You held me like an angel
to confide in
And I tried to make you home
But I was dreaming
Lord, I guess you just ain't home
that damned old telephone
Is trying hard to help me find the lines here.
Wish that you could understand
why I love the other man
He gives me truth and reason
I believe in
Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Early morning fog is rolling in
time for leaving
Alabama soft-spoken blues

When You're 21
When You're 21
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins
Now, y'was just a young fellah, Son
The night your poor Mama died
And you don't remember it now
Why, we was both right there by Mama's side
Ya see, your Ma had this sickness, Boy
From all the hard work she'd done
And she prayed all of her life
That God would let her raise her baby to be twenty-one
Aw, me and you never moved into town, Boy
We just kept on livin' out here
And life's been pretty bad
For the past twenty-one years
Aw, I remember now when you was a little fellah
And I used to take my boy to church
And I seen you in the choir with them other young'uns
And it gave this heart a jerk
Ah, you sounded like a little bitty angel, Boy
And to Papa you sure did look sweet
Even though your little ragged britches
They came half-way to your skinny little knees
After the service was all over
Aw, it always filled your Papa's heart with joy
The good Preacher'd step down
And he'd pat your little head and then he'd say
"Carlin, you've got yourself a fine little boy"
Then me and you'd get in the wagon, Child
And you'd look over towards me
And you know, you just smiled an'
Why, I'd hand you the lines,
And I'd let you drive for a little while
Oh I guess life has been tough
For me, and for you too Son
And I know tonight that I've prayed all of my life
That I could raise my baby to be twenty-one
So tonight, Son
Livin' the life down here is about over
And my work's on earth about done
Maybe now I'll get to go see the Lord and to live with your Mama
Aw, thank you Lord
'Cause tonight my baby is twenty-one
Precious, sacred scenes untold

Alabama Rain
Alabama Rain
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Lazy days in mid July, country sunday mornings
dusty haze on summer highways, sweet magnolia calling
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
Drive-in movies friday night, drinking beer and laughin'
somehow things were always right, just don't know what hap-pened
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
We were only kids but then, I never heard it said
that kids can't fall in love and feel the same
I can still remember the first time I told I loved you
On a dusty mid July, country summer's evening
a weeping willow sung its lullaby and shared our se - cret
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
that we were walking in the Ala -- bama rain
