Down To The Sea
Down To The Sea
Composer(s): Charlie Jones - Robert Plant
Performer(s): Robert Plant
Carry me down to the sea
Carry me down where they're waiting for me
That's where I want to be
That's where it all comes around
Watching the ships pass by me
Friendships and small ships and hardships and dreams
That's where I want to be
Here where it all comes around
Oh, my head is in the sand
All my life passin' by
All of my days I have seen
All of the tears and the laughter and dreams
Movin' before me
Waves and the ocean and sea
Life is a big tambourine
The more that you shake it the better it seems
This is my (not) wisdom
These are just words from the sea
Oh my head is in the sand
All my days passin' by
When I get older, settlin' down
Would you come down to the sea
Ah-ha Carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha
Oh, carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha, ah-ha
Carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha, ah-ho
Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down, carry me down
Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down, carry me down,
Carry me down to the sea, ah-ha, ah-ha
Won't-you-please, carry me down
Please, carry me down
Come on come on come on come on come on
Down down down to the sea, again, yes

La Dame Au P'tit Chien
Performer(s): Guy Béart
La dame au p'tit chien
est revenue, est revenue
la dame au p''tit chien
est revenue de très loin
Dans mon p'tit chez moi
elle a dit "oh", elle a dit "ah"
Dans mon p'tit chez moi
son p'tit chien a dit "ouah, ouah"
"Me veux-tu encore?"
lui ai-je fait, lui ai-je fait
"Me veux-tu encore
avec ce charmant trésor?"
"Très cher", me dit-elle
"c'était l'passé"
"Très cher", me dit-elle
"je pars pour les Dardanelles"
La voici r'partie
avec son chien, avec son chien
la voici partie
Moi, solitaire, depuis ...
je pleure nuit et jour
je pousse des cris, je pousse des cris
je pleure nuit et jour
Peut-être est-ce de l'amour ...
de l'amour pour son chien
qui était gentil, qui était gentil
de l'amour pour son chien
qui était gentil tout plein
Ouah!

Down To Her Socks
Down To Her Socks
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Kris Kristofferson
Here's a song about a good 'ole girl with a big 'ole heart
that got broke 'cause she was in love with some son of a bitch
who didn't love her back enough...
Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor
Cursin' the freedom she'd won
From the torture she vowed not to take anymore
And the victim she'd almost become
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
You see, the problem is
sometimes when you take a good stiff shot to the heart, it kinda stuns you
It takes a while for the message to get down to your feet to get you out of trouble
So you stand there like some old fighter taking punishment you don't even know you're takin'
But one day, you wake up and look down at your feet
and find they're just walking you away from me
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure picked a hard way to go
But he loved her right down to her socks, and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know

La Cura
La Cura
Composer(s): Manlio Sgalambro - Franco Battiato
First release by: Franco Battiato - 1996
Ti proteggerò dalle paure delle ipocondrie
dai turbamenti che da oggi incontrerai per la tua via
Dalle ingiustizie e dagli inganni del tuo tempo
dai fallimenti che per tua natura normalmente attirerai
Ti solleverò dai dolori e dai tuoi sbalzi d'umore
dalle ossessioni delle tue manie
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali
lo spazio e la luce
per non farti invecchiare
E guarirai da tutte le malattie
perché sei un essere speciale
ed io, avrò cura di te
Vagavo per i campi del Tennessee
(come vi ero arrivato, chissà)
Non hai fiori bianchi per me?
Più veloci di aquile i miei sogni
attraversano il mare
Ti porterò soprattutto il silenzio e la pazienza
Percorreremo assieme le vie che portano all'essenza
I profumi d'amore inebrieranno i nostri corpi
la bonaccia d'agosto non calmerà i nostri sensi
Tesserò i tuoi capelli come trame di un canto
Conosco le leggi del mondo, e te ne farò dono
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali
lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare
TI salverò da ogni malinconia
perché sei un essere speciale ed io avrò cura di te...
io sì, che avrò cura di te

Down The Road A Piece
Down The Road A Piece
Composer(s): Don Raye
First release by: Will Bradley Trio - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
If you wanna hear some Boogie, then I know the place
It's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a guy they call eight beat Mac
You remember Doc and old Beat Me Daddy Slack
Mammy's sellin' chicken fried in bacon grease
Well come along with me boys it's just down the road a piece
Now there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night about twelve to six
If you wanna hear some boogie then you'll get your fill
Puts the eight beat to you like an old steam mill
Come along with me boys 'fore they lose their lease
It's just down the road, down the road a piece

Oiga usted como suena la clave
oiga usted como suena el bongo
Diga usted si las maracas tienen
el ritmo que conmueve al corazón
Oiga usted como suena la clave

Última carcajada de la cumbancha

Tú que sabes reír, tú que sabes llorar
tú que puedes decir cómo son las noches de mi penar
Última carcajada de la cumbancha
llévate mis tristezas y mis cantares
Tú que sabes reír, tú que sabes llorar
tú que puedes decir como tengo el alma de tanto amar
Se va el cumbanchero mamá
se va la comparsa se va
Se va el cumbanchero mamá

Down The Road
Down The Road
Performer(s): Van Morrison
Well it's down the road I go
And I got those worried
Lonesome homesick Jones
Way on down the road
Well it's down the road I go
Well I got the blues
From way down in New Orleans
Way on down the road
And I got to be so far away
Oh don't you see
All our memories, dreams and reflections
That keep haunting me
Well it's down the road I go
And I hear those gypsy voices
Calling me
Way on down the road
Well I got to be
So far away in my memory
Dreams and reflections come on
Keep on back haunting me
Well it's down the road I go
Well I got the blues
From down in New Orleans
Way on down the road
Well it's down the road I go
Well I ve got the worried
Lonesome homesick Jones
Way on down the road
Way on down the road
Oh down the road
Way on down the road baby come on
Way on down the road
Trying to find my way back home
Trying to find my way back home
Further on down the road
Trying to find my way back home
Further on down the road
Down the road of peace
Down the road of peace
Down the road of peace baby

La Cultura Es La Sonrisa
La Cultura Es La Sonrisa
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Nocheros
La cultura es la sonrisa que brilla en todos lados
en un libro, en un niño, en un cine o en un teatro
solo tengo que invitarla para que venga a cantar un rato
Ay, ay, ay, que se va la vida
mas la cultura se queda aquí
La cultura es la sonrisa para todas las edades
puede estar en una madre, en un amigo o en la flor
o quizás se refugie en las manos duras de un trabajador
La cultura es la sonrisa con fuerzas milenarias
ella espera mal herida, prohibida o sepultada
a que venga el señor tiempo y le ilumine otra vez el alma
La cultura es la sonrisa que acaricia la canción
y se alegra todo el pueblo quien le puede decir que no
solamente alguien que quiera que tengamos triste el corazón

Down The Old Ox Road
Down The Old Ox Road
Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Arthur Johnston
Performer(s): Bing Crosby, Jack Oakie, Mary Kornman
and multiple other artists
There's a famous thoroughfare
I've heard collegiates say
I'm not referring to Piccadilly
It's not 42nd Street
It's not the Rue de la Paix
Nor is it Market Street in Philly
Ask any college Romeo
To complete your education, you must go
Down the Old Ox Road
Though you'll never find out where it is by looking on maps
With a little investigation, you'll discover perhaps
That this old tradition's not a place
But just a proposition called
The Old Ox Road, the Old Ox Road
Ox road could be any romantic spot
A country highway or a moonlit yacht
It could be in the parlour when the lights are burning low
It could be in the movies, in the very last row
Down the Old Ox Road
In the magic of the moonlight, you are filled with delight
While the leaves that flutter o'er you whisper "lover tonight"
Why keep waiting and debating, when you know it's time for mating
Down the Old Ox Road, the Old Ox Road

La Cucaracha
La Cucaracha
(Traditional)
Ya murió la cucaracha
Ya la llevan a enterrar
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un ratón de sacristán
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Cuando uno quiere a una
Y esta una no lo quiere
Es lo mismo que si un calvo
En calle encuetr' un peine
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Las muchachas mexicanas
Son lindas como una flor
Y hablan tan dulcemente
Que encantan de amor
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Las muchachas de Las Vegas
Son muy altas y delgaditas
Pero son más pedigüeñas
Que las ánimas benditas
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Las muchachas de la villa
No saben ni dar un beso
Cuando las de Albuquerque
Hasta estiran el pescuezo
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Un panadero fue a misa
No encontrando que rezar
Le pidió a la Virgen pura
Marihuana pa' fumar
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Necesita automóvil
Par' hacer la caminata
Al lugar a donde mandó
La convención Zapata
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Las muchachas son de oro
Las casadas son de plata
Las viudas son de cobre
Y las viejas hoja de lata
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Todos se pelean la silla
que les deja mucha plata
en el Norte Pancho Villa
y en el Sur Viva Zapata!
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar

I'm gonna do right, do right all the time

La Création
La Création
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer
Au commencement des temps
Il n'y avait rien que le vide, le désordre et les ténèbres
Il y eut un soir, et il y avait Dieu
Il y eut un matin, et Dieu décida qu'il fallait créer le monde
Il y eut un soir, il y eut un matin
Il faisait tout noir, on n'y voyait rien
"Qu'est-ce qui s'passe ici?
Il fait noir comme dans un four
La première chose nécessaire
Serait un peu de lumière"
Il y eut un deuxième jour, un soir et un matin
On y voyait plus clair, mais on ne voyait rien
"Ce monde est bien trop mélangé
Et je n'sais par où commencer
Mettons d'abord le ciel en haut
Et en bas nous mettrons les eaux"
Il y eut un troisième jour, un soir et un matin
Et le ciel était vide et dans l'eau il n'y avait rien
"Ce monde est beaucoup trop humide
Il n'y a nulle part où mettre pied
D'abord faisons donc une terre ferme
Et puis des arbres et des forêts"
Il y eut un quatrième jour, un soir et un matin
Et dans le ciel il n'y avait toujours absolument rien
"Alors il nous faut un soleil
Que nous mettrons dans ce coin-ci
Il faut une lune et des étoiles
Pour éclairer le ciel, la nuit"
Il y eut un cinquième jour, un soir et un matin
Tout était très joli, il ne manquait plus rien
"Mais non, tonnerre de moi, voyons
Il manque un gros morceau
Que les oiseaux volent dans les airs
Que les poissons nagent dans l'eau"
Il y eut un sixième jour, un soir et un matin
Faut-il encore quelqu'chose ou ne faut-il plus rien?
"Il faut encore les animaux
Les petits, les moyens, les gros
Les nuls, les méchants, les gentils
Et plus l'homme et la femme aussi"
Il y eut un septième jour, un soir et un matin
Cette fois c'était bien sûr, il ne manquait plus rien
"Oui je crois que tout est fini
Et ça m'a l'air très réussi
Il faut seul'ment faire un essai
Pour voir si tout fonctionne à souhait
Laissons donc tourner la machine
Pendant quelques millions d'années
Faisons de cette journée divine
Le jour où l'on devra se reposer"

Down That Road Tonight
Down That Road Tonight
Composer(s): Jeff Hanna - Josh Leo - Wendy Waldman
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Seems like lately we're losin' touch
I work too hard & I worry too much
I think it's time for me & you
To get back to what we used to do
We steal away on a Saturday night
Meet in the field when the time was right
Just us 2 & a starry sky
Would feel like paradise
I said ooo baby, goin' down that road tonight
Gettin' too crazy, need to hold each other tight
Take it, ooo maybe, the moon still shines as bright
There's a dip back, then it will shine again
Down that road tonight
Remember all the songs that we used to know
Dancin' in the dark to the radio?
Lost in the riddle, takin' up some heat
The memories are still so sweet
Time's gone by, but it's plain to see
I still love you & you still love me
Let's shake these troubles, put 'em all aside
Come on, we're gonna take that ride
I said ooo baby, goin' down that road tonight
Gettin' too crazy, need to hold each other tight
Take it, ooo maybe, the moon still shines as bright
There's a dip back, then it will shine again
Down that road tonight

La Couleur Inconnue

Ha
La couleur inconnue
La couleur inconnue
Rouge des soleils de sang
Blanc de mes nuits sans sommeil
Bleu de mes rêves d'enfant
Noir de mes tristes réveils
La couleur inconnue
La couleur inconnue
Gris des tabliers d'écoles
Vert des rêves qu'on fait à deux
Jaune des amours d'automne
Bleu des yeux pour un adieu
La couleur inconnue
La couleur inconnue
Vert comme un verre de ricard
Que l'on boirait tous les deux
Frais comme le vient du soir
Quand est bleu l'eau de tes yeux
La couleur inconnue
La couleur inconnue
Tu es belle!
Comment tu t'appelles?
Je peux t'offrir un verre?
Qu'est-ce que tu veux boire?
Un verre de ricard?
Garçon!

La Cotilla
La Cotilla
Composer(s): A. García Segura
Performer(s): Raphael
La temen en la vecindad
Porque su lengua es veneno mortal
Si no sabe algún chisme, lo inventa
El caso es hablar por hablar
La cotilla, la cotilla
Vigila de noche el portal
Siempre pendiente de quien viene y va
Sus ojos a medio cerrar
Parece que duerme y... ya, ya
La cotilla, la cotilla
De día se asoma al balcón
No falta a ninguna reunión
Se sabe la vida y milagros
De quien pidas información
La cotilla, la cotilla
La cotilla, la cotilla
Que caiga quien caiga es igual
Que sea mentira o verdad, que más da
Lo que importa es contarlo en secreto
A todo aquel que lo quiera escuchar
Es la cotilla, la cotilla
Por ella en alguna ocasión
No llega a puerto feliz un amor
Pues un casto beso que vio
En horrible aborto cambió
La cotilla, la cotilla
El mundo por ella giró
Al son de corneta y tambor
Y el pan nuestro de cada día
O el veneno que había en su voz
La cotilla, la cotilla
La cotilla, la cotilla
A tiras le quita la piel
Al que en desgracia le llegue a caer
Y después se santigua diciendo
Que Dios nos libre de él
La cotilla, la cotilla
No cesa jamás de espiar
Y en su cerebro parece anotar
Las cosas y casos que ve
Y que luego los repite al revés
Es la cotilla, la cotilla
Para ella es un deporte más
Hablar mal de los demás
Y jura que es de buena tinta
Lo que se acabó de inventar

First release by: Buck Owens - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
You'll find me hanging around
it's where I'll be found
down on the corner of love
Neath the stars that shine and the neon signs
I'll be down on the corner of love
When I start to ball
love starts to call down on the corner of love
You'll find me hanging around
it's where I'll be found
I'll be down on the corner of love
When it's late in the evenin' and I can't help but feelin'
That my heart is a stealin' neath the stars up above
Yeah when the sun goes down and moon comes around
I'll be down on the corner of love
When you're passin' by too lonely to cry
down on the corner of love
Just stop for a while I'll teach you to smile
down on the corner of love
Every love that you had has treated you bad
down on the corner of love
Forget what you knew let's start life anew
down on the corner of love
When it's late in the evenin'...

La Cosa Está En ...
La Cosa Está En ...
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
La cosa está en hallarlo a usted
el día menos pensado, en cualquier sitio
casualmente, donde usted y yo
podamos ver a cuatro manos los alrededores
La cosa está en lo improbable
en lo difícil, en lo imposible
La cosa está allí mismo, donde no debiera estar
un paso más allá que el largo de las manos
La cosa está en que un día
haya tiempo para todo
para hablarnos sin apuros
para compartir rocíos
para ser fin de semana como si vivir
fuera tiempo libre, espacio para estar
La cosa está en las cosas
que yo sé y que usted no sabe
y en las cosas que usted sabe
y yo no sé todavía
y en los sueños que nos faltan para realizar
nuestros sueños, que son sueños de canción
La cosa está en no enloquecer
en no aceptar, en preguntar
para qué sirven todos los juguetes
que nos han dado guerra
desarmándolos y armándolos
La cosa está en que no queda
remedio inteligente que no sea
usar las piezas que hay en los rompe-caminos
e ir tirando por ahora, aunque más allá
persistamos en crear nuestra canción
con las piezas que queramos construir
que serán igual
