Fra Diavolo
Fra Diavolo
Performer(s): Dennis King
On yonder rock reclining
That fierce and swarthy soul behold
Fast his hand his carbine holds
'Tis his best friend of old
His way, his steps inclining
His scarlet plume waves o'er his brow
And his velvet cloak hangs low
Playing in garrulous flow
Tremble, meanwhile the storm is beating
Afar the echo repeating
"Diavolo, Diavolo, Diavolo"
Tremble, meanwhile the storm is beating
Afar the echo repeating
"Diavolo, Diavolo, Diavolo"

Apriti Cuore
Apriti Cuore
Composer(s): Lucio Dalla
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
In questa notte calda di ottobre, apriti cuore
non stare li in silenzio senza dir niente
non ti sento, non ti sento, da troppo tempo non ti sento
e ti ho tenuto lontano dalla gente
quanti giorni passati senza un gesto d'amore
con i falsi sorrisi e le vuote parole
Ho perfino pensato in questa notte di Ottobre
di buttarti via......di buttarti via
ah lo so il cuore non e' un calcolo
freddo e matematico
lui non sa dov'e' che va
sbaglia si ferma, e riprende
e il suo battito non e' logico
e' come un bimbo libero
appena dici che non si fa
lui si volta e si offende
non lasciarlo mai solo come ho fatto io
lascia stare il potere, il denaro non e' il tuo Dio
o anche tu rimarrai senza neanche un amico
Cambierò, Cambierò
apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire
Cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente...di niente
anche davanti a questo cielo nero di stelle,
e ce ne sono stanotte di stelle, forse miliardi, cuore non parli?
o sono io che non sento e per paura di ogni sentimento
cinico e indifferente faccio finta di niente
ma non ho più parole in questa notte di ottobre
sento solo lontano un misterioso rumore
e' la notte che piano si muove, e tra poco esce il sole
Cambierò, Cambierò
apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire
cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente
Cambierò, Cambierò
apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire
cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente
Cambierò, Cambierò
apriti cuore ti prego fatti sentire
cambierò, tornerò come un tempo padrone di niente, di niente, di niente

Días Y Flores
Días Y Flores
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Si me levanto temprano
fresco y curado
claro y feliz
y te digo: «voy al bosque
para aliviarme de ti»
sabe que dentro tengo un tesoro
que me llega a la raíz
Si luego vuelvo cargado
con muchas flores
(mucho color)
y te las pongo en la risa
en la ternura, en la voz
es que he mojado en flor mi camisa
para teñir su sudor
Pero si un día me demoro, no te impacientes
yo volveré más tarde
Será que a la más profunda alegría
me habrá seguido la rabia ese día
la rabia simple del hombre silvestre
la rabia bomba —la rabia de muerte—
la rabia imperio asesino de niños
la rabia se me ha podrido el cariño
la rabia madre por dios tengo frío
la rabia es mío —eso es mío, sólo mío—
la rabia bebo pero no me mojo
la rabia miedo a perder el manojo
la rabia hijo zapato de tierra
la rabia dame o te hago la guerra
la rabia todo tiene su momento
la rabia el grito se lo lleva el viento
la rabia el oro sobre la conciencia
la rabia —coño— paciencia paciencia
La rabia es mi vocación
Si hay días que vuelvo cansado
sucio de tiempo
sin para amor
es que regreso del mundo
no del bosque, no del sol
En esos días
compañera
ponte alma nueva
para mi más bella flor

Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst
((Adapted from: You Better Move On (Arthur Alexander) - 1961))
Composer(s): Arthur Alexander
Performer(s): Drafi Deutscher
Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst
Immer wieder sagst Du zu mir bitte geb' sie frei
Du glaubst dass ich nicht für sie der Richt'ge sei
doch wer bis Du und was geht Dich das an
ich liebe sie, so sehr ich lieben kann
es ist besser Du gehst
Du bist reich und bei Dir da hätt' sie ne Menge Geld
doch unser Glück das ist ihr viel mehr auf dieser Welt
denn ich lass' sie nie mals im Stich
und darum gibt's nur eins für Dich
Es ist besser Du gehst
Tut mir leid Boy, dass Du sie liebst
doch sie gehört nur mir mir alleine
und nie, nie, nie, würd sie zu einem andere'n gehn
nein nie, nie, nie, wird das geschehn
Oh ich rate Dir mein Boy, lass die Finger weg von Ihr
schick ihr keine Rosen und spiel nicht den Kavalier
und glaube mir, Du bist ihr ganz egal
ich sage Dir zum letzten Mal
Es ist besser Du gehst
Es ist besser Du gehst
Es ist besser Du gehst

Días Grises
Días Grises
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Hay días que siento
que las horas se me escapan
y tu boca no me basta
para estar…
Vuelan allá afuera
las gaviotas, las ideas
y murmura en mi cabeza
sólo el mar…
…Y me pides el sol
y me pides amor…
Y siento nostalgia
por la vida por la escarcha
por las manos que no supe
acariciar…
Toda la tristeza del planeta
me atraviesa…
y el futuro es una sombra
que se va…
…Y me pides el sol
y me pides…
y yo te doy
la tarde gris
café sin hablar
el televisor…
un ojo de huracán
siglos… horas…
sombras en el mar
hay días así
que pasan de mí…
aquí.
Hay días que busco
y doy vuelta los cajones
intentando hallar razones
para estar…
Cierro las ventanas
y doy vuelta los espejos
y en los ojos solamente
queda el mar…
…Y me pides el sol…
y me pides amor…
Y me voy adentro
al jardín de los silencios…
donde un fuego primitivo
alumbrará…
Y me acuerdo del sol
y me acuerdo…
que hoy te di
la tarde gris
café sin hablar
el televisor…
un ojo de huracán
siglos… horas
sombras en el mar
hay días así…
que pasan de mi
aquí…

April Showers Bring May Flowers
April Showers Bring May Flowers
Composer(s): Leo Wood - Nat Shilkret - Jack Shilkret
When the whole world seems so drear
And above dark clouds appear
And your heat seems filled with fear
Don't feel sad and blue
Think how nice it soon will be
When the sun shines cheerfully
Try it and I know you'll see
What I say is true!
Happiness was meant for you
Seek it and you'll find it too
Then your life will start a new
Wonderful 'twill be
Sorrow was not meant to stay
Just to come and go away
Tho' it finds us all some day
Still you'll surely see
April showers bring May flowers
And sweet bowers, where roses twine
Now I know too, I can show you
That it's so too all the time
If the sunshine came at one time
All the fun time would soon be through
April showers bring May flowers
So just wait 'till love comes to you

Diary
Diary
Composer(s): David Gates
First release by: Bread - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
I found her diary underneath a tree
and started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
you'd never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found the love she waited for
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
When she confronted with the writing there
simply pretended not to care
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air
and though she tried to hide
the love that she denied
wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
all the sweet things that I can find
I found her diary underneath a tree
and started reading about me
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it
and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find

Aime-Moi (Sandra & Andres)
Aime-Moi
Composer(s): H. van Hemert - D. Holten
Performer(s): Sandra & Andres
It's kinda hard to translate your feelings
into the xords that can't do wrong
One fears to show one's intimite feelings
we'll explain you in this song
Aime-moi ...
tu sais il faut que tu m'aimes
Il ne faut pas que tu dis
les mots en Français comme ci
ah, non non non c'est trop bon ton
It's hard to say those words in French
you'll be easier entrance
Then when you say it all so straight
That's how it all began oh so prudent
I'm glad I know these foreign words
It's so long ago I still was a student
you're my ev'rything on earth
M'aime-moi ...
tu sais il faut que tu m'aimes
Il ne faut pas que tu dis
les mots en Français comme ci
ah, non non non c'est trop bon ton

I'm in heaven when I see you smile
Smile for me, my Diane
And though ev'rything's dark all the while
I can see you, Diane
You have lighted the road leading home
Pray for me when you can
But no matter wherever I roam
Smile for me, my Diane
(Last time)
Smile for me, my Diane

April Showers
Composer(s): Buddy DeSylva - Louis Silvers
First recording by: Al Jolson - 1921
Covered by multiple other artists
Life is not a highway strewn with flowers
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss
When the sun gives way to April showers
Here is the point you should never miss
Though April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So if it's raining, have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain, you know
(It's raining violets)
And where you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a blue bird
And list'ning for his song
Whenever April showers come along
And where you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a blue bird
And list'ning for his song
Whenever April showers come along

Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might

(a-wa a-wa) Odez enzuene zanamchinge
(a-wa a-wa) Si bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na, ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Ta na na, ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these di-iamonds
And I could say oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say oo
And everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know
exactly what I was talking about
Talking about di-iamonds
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
Repeat
Ta na na na na, ta na na na na

April Played The Fiddle
April Played The Fiddle
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists
April played the fiddle and my heart began to dance
And I was so surprised to find my arms around romance
April played the fiddle and I memorized the tune
And later on, a dream and I went singing to the moon
Then May began to gossip and June just winked her eye
And you should have seen the Know-It-All expression on July...
April played the fiddle, ah, but here’s the funny part
I had to pay the fiddler with my one and only heart!

Diamonds On My Windshield
Diamonds On My Windshield
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits; Steve Glotzer
Well these diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
I got a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
And it's these late nights and this freeway flying
It always makes me sing
There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune
He's pulling up fast on the right
Rolling restlessly by a twenty-four hour moon
And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head
He's wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed
But there's fifteen feet of snow in the East
Colder then a welldigger's ass
And it's colder than a welldigger's ass
Oceanside it ends the ride with San Clemente coming up
Those Sunday desperadoes slip by and cruise with a dry back
And the orange drive-in the neon billin'
And the theatre's fillin' to the brim
With slave girls and a hot spurn bucket full of sin
Metropolitan area with interchange and connections
Fly-by-nights from Riverside
And out of state plates running a little late
But the sailors jockey for the fast lane
So 101 don't miss it
There's rolling hills and concrete fields
And the broken line's on your mind
The eights go east and the fives go north
And the merging nexus back and forth
You see your sign, cross the line, signalling with a blink
And the radio's gone off the air
Gives you time to think
And you hear the rumble
As you fumble for a cigarette
And blazing through this midnight jungle
Remember someone that you met
And one more block; the engine talks
Whispers 'home at last'
It whispers 'home at last'
Whispers 'home at last'
It whispers 'home at last'
Whispers 'home at last'
And there are diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
I got me a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
Late nights and freeway flying
Always makes me sing
It always makes me sing
(Hey look here Jack, ok)

April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
