No Letter Today


No Letter Today
Composer(s): Frankie Brown
Performer(s): Ted Daffan;
and various other artists



No letter today
I have waited since dawn
I've waited each day
Since you have been gone
No letter today
All the days are so long
Oh why don't you write
I know I was wrong
Just give me one chance
Please won't you forgive
I'll love you, my dear
As long as I live
I know it's no use
Tho' I hope and I pray
The postman goes by
No letter today

It Don't Matter To Me


It Don't Matter To Me
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



Well it don't matter to me what you say, what you say
And it don't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright
Because I've heard it all so many times before
Just what you're saying and
I don't really want to hear it all no more, no more
Don't want to hear it no more
Cause there's no way that you can run
Cause I'm gonna find you
And there's nobody that you can turn to
cause I'll be behind you just to remind you
That it don't matter to me what you say, what you say
Well it didn't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright
It seems to me it's been too easy for you for too long
So you'd better climb down before you fall and hurt your pride, your pride
You're gonna hurt your pride
Cause there' nowhere that you can run to
Cause I'm gonna find you
And there's no place that you can stay
Cause I'll be behind you just to remind you
Well it don't matter to me what you do
Well it don't matter to me, I'm talking to you, talking to you
Well it don't matter to me believe me
Well it don't matter to me...

No Letter In The Mail


No Letter In The Mail
Composer(s): Bill Carlisle; Bobby Gregory
Performer(s): Bill Monroe;
and various other artists



No answer to my letter
To soothe my aching heart
Oh why did God ever permit
True love like ours to part

(Chorus:)
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Nobody knows what I've been through
No one but God above

This is what I wrote to her
I know that I'm to blame
I know that I have brok'n your heart
And then I signed my name

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm traveling down this road today
Yes traveling my last time
If there's no letter in the box
I'm leaving this world behind

(Repeat Chorus)

I Have To Have You


I Have To Have You
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting; Leo Robin Robin
Performer(s): Helen Kane



Darling, I'm just wild about you
I'm just not sensible
I can't do a thing without you
You're indispensable

Oh loving, I have to have loving
But when I'm having my loving
I have to have you

Moment, I must have my moment
But when I'm having my moment
I have to have you

Sometimes I get so blue waiting for you to take me
I can't go on like this!
Oh give me a kiss and make me happy

New thrills
Oh I have to have new thrills
But when I'm having my new thrills
I have to have you

Weekends Oh I hate to take weekends
But if I have to take weekends
I have to have you
Boop boop a doo

Night boats, oh I hate to take night boats
But if I have to take night boats
I'll have to have you

Oh honey, what's the sense of this suspense we live in?
Come on for goodness sake, give me a break
And give in baby

Whoopie, I wanna make whoopie
And when I wanna make whoopie
I have to have you

And if we're ever poor out in the rain while I have you
I'm okay with me
I won't complain of getting a wedding

Whoopie, I wanna make whoopie
And when I make whoopie
I have to have you

No Le Pegues Mama


No Le Pegues Mama
Composer(s): Alvarez Beigbeder; Manuel Casas Romero; Purificación
Performer(s): Raphael



No le pegues mama
No le pegues al niño
No le pegues mama
Dejalo ya tranquilo
Porque el niño no hace ni menos ni mas
Lo que hacen los niños
Y ese niño no es malo
Es un poco travieso
Pero el niño ha salido igualito a los dos
Dejalo, dejalo
Dejalo ya tranquilo
Dejalo, dejalo
Dejalo que es muy chico

No le pegues mama
No le pegues por eso
Que el no sabe todavia
Lo que es malo ni es bueno
Y por eso a las niñas en la plaza
Les sube la falda sin miedo
Y se pone perdio
De arrastrarse por el suelo
¿Que se pasa todo el dia jugando con el balon?
Dejalo, dejalo
No le pegues por eso
Dejalo, dejalo
Que a su edad to eso es bueno
Dejalo, dejalo
No le pegues por eso
Dejalo, dejalo
Que a su edad to eso es bueno

It Don't Come Easy
Composer(s): Ringo Starr
First release by: Ringo Starr - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



One, two,
One, two, three, four!

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy
It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy

Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy

"What's my name?"-Ringo!
"What's my name?"-Ringo!

"Just in case anybody forgot"

No La Boca Sino El Beso


No La Boca Sino El Beso
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; Luis Mendo; Billy Villegas
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



No la boca sino el beso
fue el crimen, transgresión
humana de lo Perfecto
boca que por el beso
se traiciona contra Dios
para besarse en su espejo
Ensimismado
el Verbo Infinito reflexiona
se observa
desde el féretro
La palabra
se nombra paradoja
Labios contra labios
rocío tierno, húmeda flor
del reflejo suicida
quebrantando la ley por el deseo
Lenguas contra lenguas, hambres
cruzadas convocan
en ¡id lenguajes
inversos
Boca que por el beso
abrió la puerta Nunca
del Árbol del Conocimiento
beso que se besa
sed de ser sed
origen y fin de¡ círculo
eterno
iris, planeta, pupila del Éxtasis
anillo de¡ agua, la cifra cero
pompa, torbellino, espectro del arco
iris, seno y óvulo y órbita
del centro, latido
latido contra sí mismo
corazón circular del Universo
Esfera del Azar, fe de Armonía
engendra la fe del Azar
el fuego
Voluntad de luz, voluntad de sombra
voluntad de beso entre infierno y cielo
beso inmortal
que asesina su muerte
Alma del amor
contra amor del cuerpo
Siguen los años pasando, impasibles
Por ahí asoma
el final de¡ Trayecto, cerca
tan cerca que anuncia los labios
que habrán de sellar el último
beso
Bésame, bésame
y dame tu nombre
Yo, Tú, El,
las tres personas del Verbo

Her Bathing Suit Never Got Wet


Her Bathing Suit Never Got Wet
Composer(s): Nat Simon; Charles Tobias)
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Edmundo Ros



By the waters of the Caribbean
Lived a lovely little Latin Queen
In her bathing suit she can be seen
Strolling down beside the sea

But her bathing suit never got wet
And she was an Admiral’s daughter
And always so close to the water
But her bathing suit never got wet

Then one day imagine her surprise
Clouds began to gather in the skies
There she stood just like a frightened pup
When the heavens opened up

But her bathing suit never got wet
For there on the sand was a feller
And he had the cutest umbrella
So her bathing suit never got wet

Then a boy whom she had snubbed one day
Got revenge, and in the sweetest way
Turned the hose upon this Latin Beaut
Standing in her bathing suit

But her bathing suit never got wet
For while she was weeping and screaming
She woke up and found she was dreaming
So her bathing suit never got wet

Here’s what happened on the beach one night
When she saw that no one was in sight
She made up her mind and in she went
Swimming to her heart’s content

But her bathing suit never got wet
And here is the answer, oh brother
She borrowed a suit from her mother
So her bathing suit never got wet

Then one day she broke the golden rule
Climbed the ladder of a swimming pool
There she stood, and as the people roared
She dove off the diving board

But her bathing suit never got wet
And oh what a lesson it taught her
What good is a pool without water?
But her bathing suit never got wet

It Doesn't Matter How I Say It (It's What I Say That Matters)
Composer(s): Drake Hollon
Performer(s): Florence Ballard



If I were a candy dish, I’d wanna be the one you keep your sweets in, my sweet man
And if I were a lamp, I’d wanna be the one you turned on every night, ooh ooh baby
And If I were a bank, I’d wanna hold all your deposits
And If I were a rose, I might be growing in your garden

Baby, this ain’t nothin’ new that I’m sayin’ to ya, no
It’s just another way of tellin’ you that I love you
Doesn’t matter how I say it (doesn’t matter how I say it),
It’s what I say that matters ( it’s what I say that matters)
And I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it

If I were a pillow babe, I’d wanna be the one you rest your head on, and dream on
And If I were a mountain reachin' high, I’d wanna be the one you climb, ooh ooh baby
And if I were a pipe, I’d wanna be the one you're smokin’
And if I were a place, I’d wanna be the place your goin’

Baby, this ain’t nothin’ new that I’m sayin’ to ya, no
It’s just another way of tellin’ you that I love you
Doesn’t matter how I say it (doesn’t matter how I say it),
It’s what I say that matters ( it’s what I say that matters)
And I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it

I love you, oh

I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it

No He Podido Fallarte


No He Podido Fallarte
Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís
Performer(s): Raphael



Pude hablarte a la cara
Y decirte que no vuelvas
Pude ser quien no he sido
Y esconder la verdad

De felicitaciones
Celebraron tu ausencia
Los callados ladrones
De mi felicidad

Pero hace tanto ya
Que esa historia se termino
Los jardines llenos estan
De colores una vez mas
Y es eterno el pensarte

Si te quieres reir
Hazlo ahora de mi dolor

Por ti nunca murio mi amor
Lo se porque hasta hoy
No he podido fallarte
No he podido fallarte

Pero hace tanto ya

Que esa historia se termino
Los jardines llenos estan
De colores una vez mas
Y es eterno el pensarte

Si te quieres reir
Hazlo ahora de mi dolor

Hello Sadness


Hello Sadness
(French Version: Bonjour Tristesse)
Composer(s): Georges Auric; Jacques Datin; Henri Lemarchand; Arthur Laurents
Performer(s): Juliette Greco



I live with melancholy
my friend his vague distress
I wake up every morning and say
Bonjour Tristesse

The street I walk is sadness
my house has no addresss
the letters that i write me begin
Bonjour Tristesse

The loss of a lover is pain
sharp and bitter to recall
I've lost no casual lover
I have no pain from wich to recover

I've lost me
that is all

My smile is void of laughter
my kiss has no caress
I'm faithful to my lover
my bitter sweet, Tristesse

No Hay Ni Un Corazón Que Valga La Pena


No Hay Ni Un Corazón Que Valga La Pena
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



No hay ni un corazón que valga la pena
Ni uno solo que no venga herido de guerra
Y sigo aquí... cuánto silencio hay
Cuánto silencio, no sé

El tiempo agotado en compases de espera
Dibuja un desierto por dentro y por fuera
Que tira pa'atrás a quien logre acercarse hasta aquí
No quiero pasados cargados de impuestos
Ni busco imposibles en cielos abiertos
Pero algo que valga la paz por la que hay que apostar

Amor inmenso y sin herida
Sin historia y a medida
Amor que no haga más preguntas
Preparado a no entender
Amor que mire bien de frente
Suficientemente fuerte
Amor que no busque salida
Y no me cueste la vida

No hay ni un corazón que valga la pena
No hay un puto corazón sin carga o problema
Olvídate

No hay un solo corazón...
No hay un corazón que no vaya de pena
No hay un puto corazón en toda esta tierra
Que dé descanso y no haga preguntas
Olvídate
Quisiera volar hasta donde te escondes
Contarte de una vez qué razones me rompen
Dejar de echar tanto de menos a tu corazón
Y quisiera tenerlo, robarlo aunque fuera
Dejar de negar que aún me vale la pena
aquél corazón que me late dentro de tí

Amor inmenso y sin herida
Sin historia y a medida
Amor que no haga más preguntas
Preparado a no entender
Amor que mire bien de frente
Suficientemente fuerte
Amor que no busque salida
Y no me cueste la vida

It Doesn't Matter Anymore


It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Composer(s): Paul Anka
First release by: Buddy Holly - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more

There's no use in me a-crying
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more

No Hard Feelings


No Hard Feelings
Composer(s): Eric Carmen
Performer(s): Eric Carmen



We was young
And still believed in "A Hard Day's Night"
But no one seemed to understand
That there was no relief in sight
The company man
He's got his nose glued to the charts
He says the record's doin' fine
But now the group is fallin' apart

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out

Four years on
And things were really gettin' too intense
Critics ravin' 'bout our album
But we're makin' fifty cents
And in the end
We was facin' the hard, cold truth
So tomorrow come what may
Looks like it's Ricky and The Tooth

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out

We gave it everything we had to give
But it was gettin' so tough
Too much frustration makes it hard to live
I think enough is enough
I said enough is enough

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stay the same
While we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to fine the way to get out

Lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta gotta gotta get out
Lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out

No Hacen Falta Alas
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



No hacen falta alas
para hacer un sueño
basta con las manos
basta con el pecho
basta con las piernas
y con el empeño

No hacen falta alas
para ser más bellos
basta el buen sentido
del amor inmenso
no hacen falta alas
para alzar el vuelo

Si...
Recojo fondos para pobres de amistad y de sonrisa
recojo cuanto haya de bien en lo que esconde tu camisa
acepto cuanto pueda ser útil al coro que compongo
siempre que quieras compartir un sueño ancho, largo y hondo
Oh...

Recojo el hielo a la deriva de los poros congelados
luego con buena voluntad y mucha miel haré un helado
no le daré, no le daré al mentiroso y al cobarde
repartiré, repartiré sólo al que ama y al que arde
Oh...

No hacen falta alas
para hacer un sueño
basta con las manos
basta con el pecho
basta con las piernas
y con el empeño

No hacen falta alas
para ser más bellos
basta el buen sentido
del amor inmenso
no hacen falta alas
para alzar el vuelo

Recojo fondos para pobres de amistad y de sonrisa
recojo cuanto haya de bien en lo que esconde tu camisa
acepto cuanto pueda ser útil al coro que compongo
siempre que quieras compartir un sueño ancho, largo y hondo
Oh...

Recojo el hielo a la deriva de los poros congelados
luego con buena voluntad y mucha miel haré un helado
no le daré, no le daré al mentiroso y al cobarde
repartiré, repartiré sólo al que ama y al que arde
Oh...

¡Vengan los buenos a comer de este helado gigante!

No Hace Falta Que Lo Digas


No Hace Falta Que Lo Digas
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner;
Dulce; Mijares



No hace falta que me mires
No hace falta que lo digas
No hace falta que me expliques
cuando lloras o te ríes
No hace falta decir
que me quiero morir a tu lado
Te amo…

No hace falta que te quedes
No hace falta que te insista
No hace falta que te llore
Si nos veremos arriba

No hace falta decir
que me quiero morir a tu lado
Te amo…

No hace falta que soñemos
que es mentira que no existe la muerte
cuando hay amor

Esta misma historia continúa
sólo cambia el escenario
en la escena del amor…

No hace falta que te mienta
No hace falta que lo pidas
No hace falta que me extrañes
si te encontraré algún día

No hace falta decir
que me quiero morir a tu lado
Te amo…

No hace falta que soñemos
que es mentira
que no existe la muerte
cuando hay amor

Esta misma historia continúa
sólo cambia el escenario
en la escena del amor…

No hace falta que te insista
No hace falta que te llore
Si nos veremos arriba

No hace falta decir
que me quiero morir a tu lado
Te amo…

It Doesn't Matter


It Doesn't Matter
Composer(s): Chris Hillman; Stephen Stills
First release by: Stephen Stills - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



She was just lookin'
Wonderin' if you might notice her smile
She was just watchin'
Hopin' you might want to stay for a while
Let her be by your side
You don't have to say why
You don't have to say why
It doesn't matter
She was just lookin' at you

Standing alone while she tells you goodbye
She still wishes you'd stay
Wanting to tell you the way that she feels
She can't think what to say
Except don't walk away
You might need her some day
You might need her some day

It doesn't matter
She was just lookin' at you

She was just watchin'
As you walked away without turnin' around
She was jut cryin'
Her head in her hands and her eyes on the ground
Without making a sound
Oh but don't turn around
Leave her behind
She'll be around
If you change your mind baby

It doesn't matter
She was just lookin' at you

No Habrá Más Serenatas


No Habrá Más Serenatas
Composer(s): Alfonso Valencia; Marino Valencia
Performer(s): Javier Solis



Mis amigos cancioneros
ya no habrá más serenatas
que le demos a esa ingrata
Porque anoche me ha pagado
el amor que yo le daba
con una infame traición

A las doce sale el tren
que me ha de llevar muy lejos
y no volveré jamás
Pero si algún día la encuentran
le dicen que me he marchado
ciego de tanto llorar

Si el destino me ha escogido
para descargar en mi alma
el dolor y la crueldad
No protesto sólo pido
que me dé pronto el olvido
con la muerte y nada más

Mis amigos cancioneros
cántenme la que me gusta
que me quiero emborrachar
En la vida escrito está
que los que amaron sufrieron
y los que aman sufrirán

Ya no habrá más serenatas
