No Me Dejes Caer


No Me Dejes Caer
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Cuando caiga la noche
no haya nadie aquí
y el calor de la ciudad
me castigue sin piedad
tendré que sonreir (ji ji)
A tu sombra implacable
a mi desolación
aunque se haga polvo el mundo
en el último segundo
tu secreto es mi canción

Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río

Como un enmascarado
mil noches sin dormir
cierro puertas y ventanas
para que el sol de la mañana
no me descubra así (oh oh)
con las manos atadas
como perros de ciudad
con la tele andando a mil
sin fuerzas de seguir
amando un souvenir

Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río

No me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes tan solo en el río

Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río...

It Happened In New Orleans


It Happened In New Orleans (aka Rainbow On The River)
Performer(s): Bobby Breen



There's a rainbow on the river
The skies are clearing
You'll soon be hearing
A melody all the day long!
Let you and I go sailing
Along the rippling stream
Holding hands together
Together we'll dream!

No Me Cuentes Tu Historia


No Me Cuentes Tu Historia
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



No quiero oir el resúmen de tu vida
Ni averiguar si estás de vuelta o de ida
No me importa qué hiciste ayer

Hoy pienso en vos y estoy loco por tenerte
Pero después puede que ni quiera verte
Y eso me hace desearte más

Por qué insistís en seguir corriendo el tren
Si lo perdés aunque espere en el andén

No quiero que me escuches
Ni te quiero entender
No me cuentes tu historia
No la quiero saber

Por qué intentás abrumarme con detalles?
No ves que así el misterio se deshace?
Date tiempo para respirar!

Un caminante que respeta el camino
No deja huellas y se entrega a su destino
Un buen amante no habla demás

Por qué insistís en seguir corriendo el tren
Si lo perdés aunque espere en el andén

Por eso es que
No quiero que me escuches
Ni te quiero entender
No me cuentes tu historia
No la quiero saber

Now You're Gone


Now You're Gone
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



I woke up this mornin' feelin'
Just as though my head were reelin'
Reelin' from a dream I had last night

Then I turned and faced your pillow
Wept just like the weepin' willow
Seems like the dream I had was right

You were gone
And the love I was givin' is (Gone)
And the reason for livin' is (Gone)
But the memory of your love lives on

'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

I sit here just thinkin' 'bout you
Wonderin' how I'll live without you
Tryin' to figure out what I did wrong

But I guess it doesn't matter
If you found-a someone better
I'll be here when that someone is gone

Yes, you're gone
And the love I was givin' is (Gone)
And the reason for livin' is (Gone)
But the memory of your love lives on

'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

My love and happiness are gone
My love and happiness are gone

No Me Comprendo


No Me Comprendo
Composer(s): Don Backy
Performer(s): Raphael



A veces yo no me comprendo
No me conozco, no me entiendo
Las cosas raras que me pasan
Me vuelven loco

Quiero gritarte y te acaricio
Quiero quererte y te desprecio
Me creo listo y soy un necio
Que solo te ama sin amarte

Quiero mimarte y te hago daño
Te digo voy y tardo un año
Te digo vete y te sujeto
Quiero matarte y te respeto
Ay, ay, ay, ay

No me comprendo ya lo ves
Soy un extraño para mi
Frente al espejo pienso
¿Quien sere yo?
¿Quien es el tonto que me mira
Que va vestido con mi traje?
¿Quien mete el coche en mi garaje?
¿Quien va bebiendose mi vida?

Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo
Tan imposible y tan cercano
Tan gigantesco y tan enano
Tan sin saber si voy o vengo
Ay, ay, ay, ay

No me comprendo y se muy bien
Que el tiempo pasa mientras yo
Estoy queriendo tanto, tanto
Sin querer

Que quiero estar y no se estar
Que quiero darte y no se darte
Que quiero ser y no se ser
Que quiero amarte sin amarte

Intento hablarte de mis sueños
Y no consigo convencerte
Intento solamente verte
Pero te escondo y no te encuentro
Ay, ay, ay, ay

A veces yo no me comprendo
No me conozco, no me entiendo
Y me pregunto cara a cara
¿Quien soy yo?

Quiero gritarte y te acaricio
Quiero quererte y te desprecio
Me creo listo y soy un necio
Que solo te ama sin amarte

Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo
Tan imposible y tan cercano
Tan gigantesco y tan enano
Tan sin saber si voy o vengo
Ay, ay, ay, ay

It Happened In Monterey


It Happened In Monterey
Composer(s): Billy Rose; Mabel Wayne
First performance by: John Boles, Jeanette Loff, The Sisters G, George Chiles & the Russell Market Dancers - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists



In my imagination I'm finding consolation
Somewhere along the Rio Grande
Sadly I'm reminiscing, madly again I'm kissing
Someone along the Rio Grande

It happened in Monterey a long time ago
I met her in Monterey in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine

It happened in Monterey without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the Key to Paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey

No Me Amenaces


No Me Amenaces
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Raphael



No me amenaces, no me amenaces
cuando estés decidida a buscar otra vida
pues agarra tu rumbo y vete
pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
ya estás grandecita, ya entiendes la vida
ya sabes lo que haces

Porque estás que te vas y te vas y te vas
y te vas y te vas y te vas y no te has ido
y yo estoy esperando tu amor
esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
o esperando tu olvido

No me amenaces, no me amenaces
si ya fue tu destino olvidar mi cariño
pues agarra tu rumbo y vete
pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
ya juega tu suerte, hay traes la baraja
yo tengo los ases

Porque estás que te vas y te vas y te vas
y te vas y te vas y te vas y no te has ido
y yo estoy esperando tu amor
esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
o esperando tu olvido

My Dream Is Yours


My Dream Is Yours
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Ralph Blane
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



My dream is yours
My dream is yours alone
It's all I own
My dream is yours

I'm through with spending
Time pretending
I'm a rover
And when I dream it over
I'm in clover
And everything is fine!

My dream is yours
It isn't much to give
But while I live
My dream is yours

So darling
May I say I love you
Till the theme
Of every dream
Begins to shine
My dream is yours
Because it's yours and mine!

So darling
May I say I love you
Till the theme
Of every dream
Begins to shine
My dream is yours
Because it's yours and mine!

No Matter Who You Vote For, The Government Always Gets In


No Matter Who You Vote For, The Government Always Gets In
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band



Bonngggg
Preside!
Hear, hear, hear!
Might I remind you...
Say it...
Order!
Might I remind you...
(Heigh ho!)
No!
Ooorderrrr!!!

Noises on the radio
Megaphones on cars
Sermons from the Street of Shame
Know-it-alls in bars
Posters in suburbia
Experts on t.v.
Don't let them disturb-i-ya
They're just the powers that be

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in!

Heigh ho!

riiiiinnng!!! (yaaaawn)
Oh, great, great slumbering nation cock-a-doodle-doo!
Awake! Set yourself free!
Oh, smell the comforting bacon
Taste the bromide tea
sluuuuurrrrp aahhh!
An' give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup
Promises are cheap
Let me bear your crosses
Make me Boss of Bosses
Then you go back to sleep! ha ha ha...

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in!

Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!

Men have dreams of a finer place
Incorruptible Shangri-la
Women too have their Shangri-Las
Shangri-La la la!

See them in the public eye
Oozing oily charm
Hear them all personify
Down on Animal Farm oink oink moooo!!
Dog eat dog, not cock and bull
Isms are the game
Ism this and ism that
Ism it a shame?

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
gobble gobble gobble

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
Don't worry
You know you can't win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
The Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)

It Had To Be You


It Had To Be You
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Isham Jones
First release by: Isham Jones & His Orch. - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists



Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh?
Why do I try to forget?

It must have been that something lovers call "Fate"
Kept on saying I had to wait
I saw them all
Just couldn't fall till we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you

No Matter What Sign You Are


No Matter What Sign You Are
Composer(s): Berry Gordy; Henry Cosby
Performer(s): The Supremes



Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
But the charts declare
It's not my night for love
Ah, deep in my heart
I feel a good vibrations saying
"You and me, babe, would make a good combination"

There's no need in looking to the skies
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you, boy
I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
The beat of the heart, my love
Is stronger than the charts, my love

Good vibrations
Good combination

Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you, boy, I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
I need you beside me, love
Only you can guide my love

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo
Cancer, Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries

I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me, boy, you really move me, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Yes, you are
Hold me, boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are

Murder, He Says


Murder, He Says
Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Betty Hutton
and multiple other artists



Finally found a fella
Almost completely divine
But his vocabulary
Is killing this romance of mine

We get into an intimate situation
And then begins this character's conversation

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
At a time like this
He says, murder, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, solid, he says
Takes me in his arms
And says, solid, he says
Meaning all my charms
He says, solid, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, chick chick
You torture me
Zoom, are we livin?
I'm thinkin of leaving him flat

He says, dig dig the jumps
The old ticker is giving
He can talk plainer than that

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
He says, murder, he says
In that impossible tone

We'll bring on nobody's murder
But his own

He says, jackson, he says
And my name's marie
He says, jackson, he says
Shoot the snoot for me
He says, jackson, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, mmmhmm
When he likes my hat
He says, tsk tsk tsk
What the heck is that?
He says, woo hoo! he says
Is that the language of love?

He says hep hep with helium
Now babe, we're cookin
Another expression's too ill
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
In that, murder, he says
In that impossible tone

We'll bring on nobody's murder
But his own

No Matter What
Performer(s): Badfinger



No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl
Ooh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you've found girl
Ooh girl I want you

No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face girl
Ooh girl I want you
Knock down the old gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say Nothing to see

Nothing would be
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you've found girl
Ooh girl I want you
Do girl ooh girl I want you

It Had Better Be Tonight


It Had Better Be Tonight
(Adapted from: Meglio Stasera - 1963)
Composer(s): Franco Migliacci; Henry Mancini; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Fran Jeffries - 1963
and multiple other artists



Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
while the mandolins are playing
and stars are bright

If you've anything to tell me
it had better be tonight
or somebody else may tell me
and whisper the words just right

Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

For this poor Americano
who knows little of your speach
be a nice Italiano
and start to teach.

Show me how in old Milano
lovers hold each other tight
but I warn you sweet paisano
it had better be tonight

Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

No Matter How High


No Matter How High
Composer(s): Joey Scarbury; Even Stevens
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



When I was a young boy I would dream about life
And wonder just how sweet it would be
But baby I got lucky when I met you that night
Now you'll always have this promise from me
No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You'll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get
Up here on this mountain it gets crazy sometimes
So crazy I don't know what to do
When I've had it up to here with all of their lies
I count on you to tell me the truth

(Repeat chorus)

You are the one that turned it around
You help me keep my feet on the ground

(Repeat chorus)

Meglio Stasera


Meglio Stasera
(English Version: It Had Better Be Tonight - 1963)
Composer(s): Henry Mancini; Franco Migliacci
First performance by: Fran Jeffries - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara

Non mi dire d'aspettare
Il domani che verra
E una porta che tu chiudi
Fra me e te

Se stasera ti decidi
a rispondermi di si
I domani che verrano
li dedico solo a te

Megglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara

Nasce il giorno e il giorno muore
e la notte portera
L'incertezza del domani
chissa, chissa

Basta un desiderio solo
a non farti riposar

e una pulce sul lenzuolo
che dormire non ti fa

Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sarra

No Love, No Nothin'


No Love, No Nothin'
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Ella Mae Morse;
and various other artists



No love, no nothin'
Until my baby comes home
No sir!
No nothin'
As long as baby must roam
I promised him I'd wait for him
Till even Hades froze
I'm lonesome
Heaven knows
But what I said still goes
No love, no nothin'
And that's a promise I'll keep
No fun with no one
I'm getting plenty of sleep
My heart's on strike
And tho' it's like an empty honeycomb
No love, no sir!
No nothin'
Till my baby comes home

No Love At All


No Love At All
Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson; Johnny Christopher
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson;
and various other artists



I see in the paper nearly everyday
people breaking up and just walking away
From love and that's wrong that's so wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed
To get along and you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
And neither one of them won't love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt
But I believe that a little bit of love is better than no love
Even sad love's better than no love even bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even sad love's better than no love any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standing on the corner with his hat in his hand
And there's no place to go and he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat
On the tennament row and that's a rough row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl standing on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a mnighty short fall
But I believe that a little bit of love...

March out with love to the beat of the drum
Give out your love got to give it to someone
Give a little kindness spread a little goodness come on people try it one time yeah
A little bit of love...
A little bit of love...

Moonlight And Magnolias


Moonlight And Magnolias
Composer(s): Peter De Rose; Dizzy Gillespie
Performer(s): Chick Webb



Moonlight and magnolias
Made a silvery scented lane
Blessed it with a love refrain
Where I strolled with you

Moonlight and magnolias
Wouldn't let us say goodbye
Till the stars way up high
Faded in the blue

Night grew a curtain around us
And the blossom would endure with a gleam
Romance and happiness found us
And carried us off in a dream

Oh, moonlight and magnolias
Made the world a paradise
when we came to realise
We were in love
