Better Than Anything


Better Than Anything
Composer(s): William Loughbrough - David "Buck" Wheat
Performer(s): Irene Kral
and multiple other artists



Better than sailing at midnight
Better than diving for pearls
Better than skiing at Aspen
Better than feeding the squirrels

Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything thought of
Better than anything said

Better than singing right out loud
Or being spotted in a crowd
Better than anything
Except being in love!

Better than cream cheese on celery
Better than, mmm, honey on bread
Better than french-fried potatoes
Better than, aah, breakfast in bed

Better than strawberry shortcake
Better than chocolate eclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh bartlett pears

Better than dining a la carte
Or sampling gastronomic art
Better than anything
Except being in love!

Better than "April In Paris"
Better than "Memphis In June"
Better than "Autumn In New York"
Better than "Old Avalune"

Better than "Drifting And Dreaming"
Better than "Castles In Spain"
Better than "Smoke Rings" or "Stardust"
Better than "September Rain"

Better than "Dancing In The Dark"
Or "Once More James Around The Park"
Better than anything
Except being in love!
Better than anything
Except being in love!
Better than anything
Except being in love!

Ahora


Ahora ((aka Ahora, Ahora (by Yolandita Monge) - 1987; Ahora, Ahora (by Mónica Naranjo) - 2000))
((Adapted from: Ancora Ancora Ancora (by Mina) - 1978))
Composer(s): Cristiano Malgioglio - Giampietro Felisatti - José Luis Perales
Performer(s): Raphael - 1980



Me pregunto si te quiero
Y mi boca te esta diciendo si
Si decido al fin perderte
La respuesta es simplemente no

Tus caricias eran mias
En tus noches me dormia asi
El amor que ayer creamos
Se escapo de nuestras manos ¿por que?

Si yo te quiero ahora
Quiero tu boca ahora
Quiero tus manos ahora
Y abrazarte ahora
Y amarte ahora
Y sentirte ahora
O morirme ahora
Porque te amo ahora

Amanece lentamente
Y te sueño dulcemente, si
Tu recuerdo esta conmigo
Y tu amor esta perdido ¿por que?

As you desire me
So shall I come to you
Howe'er you want me
So shall I be!

Do what you will with me
I give my life to you,
For you're my destiny!

And now come take me
My very soul is yours!
As you desire me
I come to you!

And now come take me
My very soul is yours!
As you desire me
I come to you!

Ahora Caete Aquí


Ahora Caete Aquí
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco



Quien pudiera tener
un poeta negro en su cabeza
Y andar, mh, mh

Quien pudiera curar
un corazon desgajado por la violencia
y andar

Yo que una vez puse tierra en tus pies
ahora caete aqui que mi mente delira
delira, oh delira
Oh, mi mente delira

Hacete un lugar
que el angel ya murio
con su lengua torcida, en un arbol

A todos los hombres
que nacieron para
salvar un pais, los mataron

Los Días De Actemio


Los Días De Actemio
Composer(s): Lito Nebbia
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Los Gatos



¿A dónde caerás esta noche?
Muy lejos, muy lejos, tal vez
¿Qué tren pasará a cargar tu tristeza?
Ninguno, ninguno, tal vez
Tú eres como el tiempo
jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar
pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves
Tú eres como el tiempo
jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar
pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves
Tú eres como el tiempo
jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar
pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves
Tú eres como el tiempo
jamás vuelves a un mismo lugar
pero a veces vuelves, vuelves, vuelves

Ahora Si, Ahora No


Ahora Si, Ahora No
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Ana Belén



Fue toda una vida
entre muerto y muerto intentando
respirar
toda una vida que nos fueron matando
haciéndonos callar
Qué difícil es ahora
cuando ya es al fin la hora
y el lugar
fin y principio son una misma cosa
y es cosa de empezar

Ahora si, ahora no
ahora es un instante dentro de un reloj
Ahora sí, ahora no
mañana es tarde, hoy es pronto
y ayer pasó

A las frases hechas
y palabras grandes que prometen
libertad
hay que temer como se teme al espejo
que oculta una mitad
Son quizá los años
que no en vano pasan desnudando
la verdad
quienes avisan que muere la revuelta
cuando es mayor de edad

Ahora si, ahora no
ahora es un instante dentro de un reloj
Ahora sí, ahora no
mañana es tarde, hoy es pronto
y ayer pasó

Superstition


Superstition
((French Version: Superstition (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1974))
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong

You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer

Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Los Chicos No Lloran
Composer(s): M. Grilli - Miguel Bosé
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé; David Summers



Con un canalla como yo
y un corazon en paro bastaría?
por que estoy loco y es mas
estoy loco y me aguanto

Con un canalla como yo
y un pasaporte al Congo quien no iría?
si buscas chico formal
buscate uno mas alto

Y otro pecado capital ... qué será?

Es mi vida no quiero cambiar
los chicos no lloran sólo pueden soñar
es mi vida no quiero cambiar
los chicos no lloran tienen que pelear
es mi vida ah! es mi vida ah!

Con un canalla como yo
un oficial con mucha artillería
hey! que sería de ti? hey! qué dices
encanto?

Y otro pecado capital ... qué será?

Y bailaremos eh? y bailaremos eh?

Es mi vida no quiero cambiar
los chicos no lloran sólo pueden soñar
es mi vida no quiero cambiar
los chicos no lloran tienen que pelear
es mi vida ah! es mi vida ah!

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
We'll catch a giraffe and make him laugh
And then we'll let him go

Los Chicos De La Calle


Los Chicos De La Calle
Composer(s): Pedro Aznar
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



Los chicos de la calle
dónde viven, nadie sabe
sus historias nunca nadie guardará
con el viento volarán

Los chicos de la calle
se imaginan desde el márgen
que en el centro de la hoja alguien podrá
escribir "felicidad"

Andando entre los autos
nadie acierta con su edad
Sus ojos, piedra como la ciudad

Los chicos de la calle
no eligieron lo que hacen
ni el futuro les permitirá elegir
quiénes ser o adónde ir

Andando entre los autos
lo que esperan no es piedad
apenas enfrentar un día más
Los chicos de la calle
dignidad en rotos trajes
pobre dios en carne viva y sin altar
no los baja de su cruz sólo rezar

Los chicos de la calle
no tendrán adulto el talle
más de veinte casi nadie cumplirá
rara vez algunos más

Los chicos de la calle
son un grito aunque los callen
ya son tantos que serían un país
donde nadie fue feliz

Los chicos de la calle
dignidad en rotos trajes
pobre dios en carne viva y sin altar
no los baja de su cruz sólo rezar
no los libra de su cruz sólo rezar
no los salva de su cruz sólo rezar

Ai Garimasu (There Is Love)


Ai Garimasu (There Is Love)
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane & Jefferson Starship



Ai child you are timeless and I love you
Child that I see
And I see you tryin' to lean towards kindness
Now that's what I like to see

That's what I like to see
I want to see your love
And I want to feel
I want to feel your love

Ai Garimasu, sometimes loving in the rain
Some feel like steel, some taste like candy
Ai Garimasu, the same in any language
The same in any name
Call it what you feel
Call it whatever's handy
We don't have to know the name
We don't have to have the same name
We don't have to have any name at all
All 'cause you gave me your love
And now I know just exactly who to call

That's what I like to see
I like to see your love
And I want to feel
I want to feel your love

We don't have to know the name
We don't have to have the same name
We don't have to have any name at all
('Cause you gave me your love
And now I know just exactly who to call

Superstar (Murray Head)


Superstar - 1970 ((aka Jesus Christ Superstar (by The Les Humphries Singers - 1973))
((Italian Version: Superstar (by Flora Fauna Cemento) - 1970))
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice
First release by: Murray Head - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Every time I look at you
I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd have managed better
If you'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

If you'd come today
You could have reached the whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Don't you get me wrong (Don't you get me wrong)
Don't you get me wrong (Don't you get me wrong)
Don't you get me wrong (Don't you get me wrong)
Don't you get me wrong (Don't you get me wrong)

Only want to know (Only want to know)
Only want to know (Only want to know)
Only want to know (Only want to know)
Only want to know (Only want to know)

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think
About your friends at the top
Now who d'you think besides yourself
Was the pick of the crop?
Buddah was he where it's at?
Is he where you are?
Could Muhammmed move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that?
Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death
Would be a record breaker?

(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong, now) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong, now) Don't you get me wrong

(Only want to know) Only want to know
(Only want to know, now) Only want to know
(Only want to know) Only want to know
(Only want to know, now) I only want to know

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ, Superstar

Los Chacareros De Dragones
Composer(s): D.A.R.
Performer(s): León Gieco



Alla donde todo aquel septiembre
no alcanzo para llevarse la tempestad
Alla donde mil poesias gritaron
cuando le cortaron al poeta sus manos
Uy, uy, uy si hasta el condor lloro

Alla donde muchos pensamientos
no tienen palabras ni gritos ni silencios
Alla donde quedo estrellada
la raiz de un pueblo con sus profetas muertos
Uy, uy, uy si hasta el condor lloro

Ai No Corrida


Ai No Corrida
Composer(s): Charles Jeremy Jankel - Chas Jankel - Kenny Young - James Kennith Young
Performer(s): Quincy Jones



I hold you
I touch you

In a maze can't find my way

I think you
I drink you

I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me
I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning
don't save me

It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
you thrill me

Half kill me
that's what you do
Ai no corrida
that's were I am

You send me there
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself
no other thought

Jusa you and nothing else
you and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day

Night the lonely interlude just came
then blow away
You know girl

Everything was come what may
until you fell in my life
This spell that I'm under has caught me
I'm in a daze

Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze.
You see girl
you thrill me

Half kill me
that's what you do
Ai no corrida
that's were I am

Ai no corrida
that's were I am

Ai no corrida
that's were I am

I hold you
I touch you

Pinch me
I'm dreaming

Ai no corrida
that's were I am

Ai no corrida
that's were I am

Superstar (Flora Fauna Cemento)


Superstar
((Adapted from: Superstar (by Murray Head) - 1970))
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice - Herbert Pagani
Performer(s): Flora Fauna Cemento - 1970



Lei non c'è, lei non c'è
esce con tutti ma non con te

Non ho chiesto che lei fosse pazza di me
non ho chiesto che mi desse niente di sé
non ho chiesto niente niente niente però
il diritto di vederla almeno ce l'ho

So che dietro alla sua bocca c'è il paradiso
e sto fuori a chiedere uno straccio di sorriso

non te lo darà
si me lo darà
ma che pazzo sei
amo solo lei

Lei non c'è, lei non c'è
esce con tutti ma non con te
vieni al bar, vieni al bar
e lascia perdere Superstar
Superstar credimi, ama far piangere gli uomini
Superstar credimi, gode a far piangere gli uomini

(schitarrata)

Ha paura di volermi bene chissà?
Ma di un cuore senza amore che se ne fa?
E stavolta deve dirmi perché
il più brutto dei cretini è meglio di me
So che dietro alla sua bocca c'è il paradiso
e sto fuori a chiedere uno straccio di sorriso

non te lo darà
si me lo darà
ma che pazzo sei
amo solo lei

Lei non c'è, lei non c'è
esce con tutti ma non con te
vieni al bar, vieni al bar
e lascia perdere Superstar
Superstar è così, a chi non l'ama lei dice sì
anche tu l'ami un po', ti fa morire, poi dice no

Superstar credimi, ama a far piangere gli uomini
Superstar credimi, gode a far piangere gli uomini

Lei non c'è, lei non c'è
esce con tutti ma non con te
vieni al bar, vieni al bar
e lascia perdere Superstar

Los Cazabrujas De Dores


Los Cazabrujas De Dores
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Los cazadores salen
los cazadores bailan
los cazadores sueñan
con un planeta
de brujas por quemar
Los cazadores miran
los cazadores buscan
los cazadores prenden
una candela
para salvar a Dios

Ahora sale una niña
bien correcta
y aunque la niña
se ha cortado las trenzas
los cazadores tiemblan
ante aquella belleza
Pero uno tiene
cara de aberrado
y grita dónde está
su cinturón de castidad
y se le tiran
para quemarla en la hoguera
-por brujita-
para quemarla en la hoguera
-pobrecita-
para quemarla en la hoguera
-ay-

Pero entra nuestro héroe
seguido de una pila de mujeres
que le dicen canciones y poemas
viejos, niños, todos agradecidos
El héroe está a la moda
pantalones con pliegues
zapatos de dos tonos
la patilla cortada
y el pelito bien corto
Y se ríe al ver los cazadores
con sus pelos tan largos
y sus mallas estrechas
arrastrando a la niña
a morir en la hoguera
en nombre de Dios

Entonces los cazadores enfurecidos
sueltan a la niña y se abalanzan sobre nuestro héroe
que ya espera en guardia y desarmado
Nuestro héroe se mueve rápido, esquiva los espadazos
y responde con sus puños limpios y les da
uno, dos, tres, cuatro
cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve
diez piñazos bien dados
y todos se derrumban

Mientras todos lo aclaman
como es natural
va y recoge a la niña
que ya está desmayada
de un beso la despierta
y se van muy felices
sabiendo que no quedan
cazadores de brujas

Los cazadores salen
los cazadores bailan
los cazadores sueñan
con un planeta
de brujas por quemar
Los cazadores miran
los cazadores buscan
los cazadores prenden
una candela
para salvar a Dios

Superman Superman Superman

Now, there you go picking on me again
Pushing me to the very end
Telling me to move another mountain
Well, just 'cause you can walk on water that ain't no sign I can
You know your mama should've named you Superman
Superman Superman Superman

Now, let's go through this one more time
You do your thing and I'll do mine
But Honeybaby we gotta draw the line if your hangup is messing with mine
All I can do is the best I can to change the ways that you can't stand
And if it ain't good enough for Superman, he ain't good enough for me
Superman Superman Superman

So you don't have to rub it in
Just 'cause you're right and I'm wrong again
Sometimes right is just as wrong as wrong is
And I ain't never gonna learn how to make it rain
I wouldn't if I could for all the bull in Spain
But you go right ahead and do it to it Superman
Superman Superman Superman

Yeah, let's go through this one more time
You do your thing and I'll do mine
But Honeybaby we gotta draw the line if your hangup is messing with mine

Los Campos Verdes Del Mar


Los Campos Verdes Del Mar
Composer(s): Victor Heredia
Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Yo sabía que era verde
verde como el saucedal
que era inmenso como el cielo
agua plena en soledad
pero yo no conocía
los campos verdes del mar
Aquella tarde de estío
el sol jugaba en mi piel
y descubrí las arenas
primeras antes que el mar
El gusto dulce y salado
Las brisas que el viento trae
Corrí por las playas solo
todo quería tocar
cabalgar sus altas cumbres
la espuma blanca besar
ser caracol y olvidarme
del mundo y quise ser mar
Ser verde dentro del verde
ser una ola al romper
ser calma, ser mar en furia
ser alga rojo coral
ser vela en el horizonte
ser viento que peina el mar
Cuando tuve que volverme
nada de mí se volvió
quedaron todos mis sueños
prendados de su color
Y un pedazo de mi vida
Siempre a la orilla del mar

Superfly


Superfly
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
First release by: Curtis Mayfield - 1972



Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright
There's a set goin' strong
Lotta things goin' on
The man of the hour
Has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

Hard to understand
What a hell of a man
This cat of the slum
Had a mind, wasn't dumb
But a weakness was shown
'Cause his hustle was wrong
His mind was his own
But the man lived alone

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

The game he plays he plays for keeps
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
Tryin' ta get over
(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)
Taking all that he can take
Gambling with the odds of fate
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Woo, Superfly

The aim of his role
Was to move a lot of blow
Ask him his dream
What does it mean?
He woudn't know
"Can't be like the rest"
Is the most he'll confess
But the time's running out
And there's no happiness

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

Superfly
Superfly
Superfly
Superfly

Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
