Aquí donde el mar reluce y sopla fuerte el viento
sobre una vieja terraza mirando al golfo de Sorrento
un hombre abraza a una muchacha ahogado por el llanto
luego se aclara la voz y da comienzo al canto

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
é una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

Vió alguna luz dentro del mar, pensó en las noches de su América
pero era sólo algún reflejo y la blanca estela de un barco
Sintió el dolor en esa música que arranca del piano
más cuando vió la luna salir trás una nube
no supo imaginar muerte más dulce

Miró sus ojos de muchacha, ojos tan verdes como el mar
luego de improviso aquella lágrima y ya no pudo respirar

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
é una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

La fuerza de la lírica como un gran drama falso
y con un buen disfraz y con la mímica te arrastra sin embargo
Pero dos ojos que te miran de cerca son tan ciertos
te hacen recordar palabras, confunden pensamientos

Así todo parece tan pequeño hasta las noches de su América
miras atrás y ves tu vida como la estela de un barco

Lo sé la vida que se acaba no quiero ni pensarlo ...
así se siente ya feliz para retomar su canto

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
é una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

Monólogo (Silvio Rodríguez)


Monólogo
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Luis Eduardo Aute



Favor, no se molesten
que pronto me estoy yendo
no vine a perturbarles
y menos a ofenderlos
Vi luz en las ventanas
y oí voces cantando
y, sin querer, ya estaba tocando
Yo también me alegraba
entre amigos y cuerdas
con licores y damas
mas ¿de eso quien se acuerda?
Una vez fui famoso
siempre andaba viajando
aquí traigo una foto
actuando

Me recordaron tiempos
de sueños e ilusiones
Perdonen a este viejo
perdonen

Ya casi me olvidaba
pero, para mañana
van a dar buen pescado
hoy nos llegaron papas
y verduras en latas
al puesto del mercado
En cuanto llegue y coma
me voy para la zona
por lo de la basura
Como la noche avanza
los dejo con la danza
el canto y la cultura

Disculpen la molestia
ya me llevo mi boca
A mi edad la cabeza
a veces se trastoca
En la alegría de ustedes
distinguí mis promesas
y todo me parece
que empieza
Favor, no se molesten
que casi me estoy yendo
no quise perturbarles
y menos ofenderlos
Vi luz en las ventanas
y oí voces cantando
y, sin querer, ya estaba soñando
Vivo en la vieja casa
de la bombilla verde
Si por allí pasaran
recuerden

Nu Jij Hier Niet Meer Bent


Nu Jij Hier Niet Meer Bent ((aka Wat Is Er Fout Gegaan (Gary Hagger) - 2003)) ((Adapted from: Caruso (Lucio Dalla) - 1986)) Composer(s): Lucio Dalla - André Hazes Performer(s): André Hazes - 1994

Versions In Other Languages: 1989 - Caruso (French Version) (Mireille Mathieu) 1989 - Caruso (Spanish Version) (Mireille Mathieu) 1996 - Za Mene Ne Postoji Druga (Dragan Stojnic) 1997 - Caruso (Spanish/Italian Version) (Ana Belén & Lucio Dalla) 2007 - Kol Tu Šalia Buvai (Merunas) 2009 - Keines Menschen Auge (Stefan Gwildis)



Ik heb je vaak geschreven
Maar er kwam nooit een antwoord
Ik was echt zo gelukkig
Maar dat is nu voorbij
De telefoon staat hier vlak bij me
Zodat je mij kon bellen
Maar het enige wat ik hoorde
Was de bel van mijn deur

Nu jij hier niet meer bent
Terecht zegt dat je mij niet kent
M'n hart huilt en doet zeer
Sluit ik m'n ogen
Zie ik jou steeds weer

Ik had naar je moeten luisteren
Dan was jij misschien nog bij me
Maar wat heb ik aan suggesties
Dat heeft geen enkele zin
Ik zou de klok terug willen draaien
En dan opnieuw beginnen
Ik liet het dan zo ver niet komen
Maar ach het is te laat
Waarom heb ik jou nooit vergeven
Wat jij mij al die dagen gaf
Het was van jouw kant echte liefde
Maar jij kreeg niets terug

Toch moet ik zeggen dat ik jou nooit
Nee nooit meer kan vergeten
Ik zocht de schuld nooit bij mezelf
Daarvan heb ik nu spijt
Ik hoop dat je mij kan vergeven
En dat je heel gelukkig wordt
Dit is de straf voor mijn eigen fouten
Dat doet me zoveel pijn
Ik leg mijn hoofd zacht in jouw kussen
En staar dan naar je foto
Ik ruik je parfum voel je warmte
O wat mis ik jou
Ik zou de klok terug willen draaien
En dan opnieuw beginnen
Ik liet het dan zo ver niet komen
Maar ach het is te laat

Nu jij hier niet meer bent
terecht zegt dat je mij niet kent
Nu heb ik zoveel spijt
Ik kan wel huilen
Want ik ben je kwijt ...

Monólogo (José José)


Monólogo
Composer(s): Chico Novarro
Performer(s): José José;
Tito Rodriguez; Gilberto Santa Rosa



Dejo de pensar en ti
Y dejo el mundo detener
Encanto para mi
No fue posible imaginar
Que pudo haber
Antes que tu
En mi existir

Supe lo que era el amor
El mismo instante
En que sono tu risa junto a mi
Definitiva sensacion
Fue descubrir
En tu mirar
Un nuevo sol

Vivo idolatrandote
Y en un monologo interior
Desesperandome
Mientras la luz de nuestras vidas va apagandose
Vidas que el destino sentencio con otro amor

Hoy que no te tengo aqui
Estoy creyendo
Como nunca habia creido en ti
Y en el abismo incontrolable
De mis noches inquietud
Crece tu luz

Vivo idolatrandote
Y en un monologo interior
Desesperandome
Mientras la luz de nuestras vidas va apagandose
Vidas que el destino sentencio con otro amor

Hoy que no te tengo aqui
Estoy creyendo
Como nunca habia creido en ti
Y en el abismo incontrolable
De mis noches inquietud
Crece tu luz

Lucky Me (Tony Banks)


Lucky Me
Composer(s): Tony Banks
Performer(s): Tony Banks



My name is unimportant
And my job you could call mean
But I like the work and I do it well
That's enough for me
I think there was a time when I
Could do, and did, much more
I have dreams in which I captain the ship
And hear the ocean roar
I've lived alone for all I can remember
That only means some six or seven years
I would rather be nobody else
I'm happy as I am
All I need is in my way
And you see no one expects too much from me
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me
My friends think that I should be trying
To find out who I was
But I feel that road would bring me pain
And too much would be lost
How I am is how I'm meant to be now
Anyhow there's things I see more clearly
Than those whose heads are searching in the clouds to make discoveries
And maybe fail to see
What's on the ground beneath their feet, not hard to find
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me
No one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me - oh

Monolith


Monolith
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex



The throne of time
Is a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are girl
In your fashions of fate
Baby it's too late

Shallow all the actions
Of the children of men
Fogged was their vision
Since the ages began
And lost like a lion
In the canyons of smoke
Girl it's no joke

Lucky Me
Composer(s): George Kerr - Sylvia Robinson
Performer(s): The Moments



Lucky me, just lucky me
'Cause I found a girl like you
Who brings her love to only me
Ooh, lucky me
I can see how good your true love can be
'Cause I'm gonna wear my ring
Oh, I'll spend my whole life loving you
If you want me to
'Cause there's no one in the whole wide world
As special, babe, as you

Lucky me, lucky me
As can be, of all the fellahs in the world
You told me you love only me
Ooh, lucky me, lucky me
I must say I feel as though there's no one else
In the world but you and me
Oh, I'll spend my whole life loving you
If you want me to
'Cause there's no one in the whole wide world
As special, babe, as you

Lucky me, lucky me
Lucky me
Love me as I'll never be

Lucky me, lucky me
Oh, lucky me, lucky me
Lucky me, lucky me
Oh, lucky me, lucky me

Monnaie Blues


Monnaie Blues
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Je marchais dans une rue louche
Elle, elle avait les bras croisés
Et puis une si grande bouche
Que je me suis laissé tenter
Elle m'a montré des tas de choses
Qu'on ne montre qu'à ses amis
Sa bibliothèque en cuir rose
Et la soie de ses draps de lit
J'étais tout près de l'épouser
Quand elle m'a montré la porte
Elle a pris toute ma monnaie
Elle a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte"
Je suis rentré chez moi de rage
J'ai allumé la télé
Un vieillard encombrait l'image
Un vieillard très bien habillé
Il prononçait des mots bizarres
Des mots que personne connaît
J'ai dit c'est pas drôle ton histoire
Et il ne s'en sortira jamais
La speakerine est venue traduire
Avant que j'éteigne mon poste
"Il voudrait toute votre monnaie"
Il a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte"
J'ai dit mon vieux c'est pas facile
S'ils veulent tous de mon argent
Lorsque l'évêque de la ville
Entra dans mon appartement
Il avait ses habits de messe
Par dessus sa tenue de plage
Il criait "mes quatre maîtresses
Viennent d'être prises en otage
Par pitié faites quelque chose
Pour pas qu'elles ne reviennent mortes"
Il a pris toute ma monnaie
Il a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour qu'elles s'en sortent"
Je me suis enfui dans un bar
J'ai pris mon alcool préféré
J'avais pas commencé de boire
Quand des docteurs sont entrés
Ils criaient "vous avez l'air pâle
Et la mort arrive si vite
On a prévenu l'hôpital
On va vous embarquer de suite"
Pas moyen de leur échapper
Ils avaient une bonne escorte
Ils ont pris toute ma monnaie
Ils ont dit "c'est le seul moyen pour qu'on s'en sorte"
Lorsque je me suis réveillé
J'ai dit pourvu que tout ça s'arrête
J'ai mis partout trois tours de clé
J'ai fermé les doubles fenêtres
J'ai calfeutré mon lavabo
J'ai débranché mon téléphone
Et j'ai bien tiré les rideaux
J'ai dit je veux plus voir personne
Et j'ai mis des gardes à chaque mur
Des armoires contre les portes
Et j'ai brûlé toute ma monnaie
Puisque c'était le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte
Et j'ai brûlé toute ma monnaie
Puisque c'était le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte

Lucky Man (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)


Lucky Man
((Italian Version: Un Uomo Fortunato (Eugenio Finardi) - 2003))
Composer(s): Greg Lake
First release by: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - 1970



He had white horses
and ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
and waiting by the door

ooh, what a lucky man he was
ooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
they made up his bed
A gold-covered mattress
on which he was laid

ooh, what a lucky man he was
ooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
for his country and his king
For his honor and his glory
the people would sing

ooh, what a lucky man he was
ooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
his blood ran as he cried
no money could save him
so he laid down and he died

((Adapted from: Money Honey (by Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters - 1953))
Composer(s): Jesse Stone - Jean Fauque
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1996



Le type qui m'loue son studio, ouais, a sonné
Je l'ai laissé, ouais, planté sur le palier
À travers la porte, j'lui ai demandé ce qu'il voulait
Il m'a dit "Ca fait trois mois que j'attends ton loyer"

Moi je veux de la
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Envoie la monnaie si tu veux qu'on reste amis

J'avais trouvé une paye pour le lendemain
J'ai appelé celle qui m'a promis sa main
Je l'ai réveillée, ouais, au milieu de la nuit
Elle m'a dit "Qu'est-ce que tu veux?"
J'ai dit "Bonsoir ma chérie"

Je veux de la
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Donne la monnaie si tu veux rester ma petite amie

Elle a dit "Qu'est-ce qui te prend?
Non mais, t'as disjoncté!
C'est terminé, tu dois t'en aller
En tout cas, merci pour cette bonne idée
Je vais dire à celui qui va te remplacer

Moi j'aime la
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Donne la monnaie et je serai ta petite amie"

J'ai appris la leçon
Maintenant je sais
Qu'après la pluie il y a le soleil
Quand je croise une fille qui veut m'embarquer
Avant de lui dire "Je t'aime", je lui parle d'oseille

Moi je veux de la
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Monnaie, monnaie
Donne la monnaie et tu seras ma petite amie

Lucky Man (Bruce Springsteen)


Lucky Man
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



Running down the highway half past eleven
Waitin' for my odometer to roll straight sevens
I'm a lucky man
I went to see the gypsy the other night
She looked in my palm looked me in the eye
Said you're a lucky man
Some folks got fortune some got eyes of blue
What you got will always see you through
You're a lucky man
Pa went from the army to the factory to the killing yard
I make my living with my hands behind the wheel of this car
I'm a lucky man
Messin' with me man wouldn't be wise
Roll them dice son - ah snake eyes
I'm a lucky man
Had a girl in Calgary I gave her up
Man that love thing was messin' with my luck
I'm a lucky man
I'll wake up tomorrow morning in another state
Kiss me now baby before it's too late
If you wanna kiss a lucky man
I don't miss no girl I don't miss no home
He travels fastest who travels alone
He's a lucky man
A man with the world in the palm of his hands

Monna Lisa
Composer(s): Ivan Graziani
Performer(s): Ivan Graziani



Sì vorrei rubarla
vorrei rubare quello che mi apparteneva
sì vorrei rubarla
e nasconderla in una cassa di patate di patate

Il custode parigino
che spiava le bambine dell'asilo
ora ha la bocca
piena di biglietti del museo del museo

Lassù una civetta urla
ed io ancora non ho iniziato il mio lavoro ora

Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa Monna Lisa

La scuola è una gran cosa
e soprattutto se ti insegnano ad amare
i capolavori del passato
però è un peccato che tu non li puoi vedere
né toccare

La cultura mi sorride
tra le ombre e le tende di velluto
e io sto torturando
la tela col rasoio e con le unghie con le unghie

Il custode si lamenta
probabilmente vuole un'altra botta in testa ora

Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa Monna Lisa

Di sotto stanno urlando
certamente mi dicono di uscire
il francese non l'afferro
per questo me ne sto ancora un poco qui a pensare
a pensare

Il custode si lamenta
probabilmente vuole un'altra botta in testa ora

Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa
Monna Lisa Monna Lisa Lisa Monna Lisa

When I was just a little baby
I didn't have many toys
but my mama used to say son
you got more than other boys
Now you may not be good looking
and you may not be too rich
But you'll never ever be alone
cause you've got lucky lips

Lucky lips are always kissing
lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
a pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
a baby in your arms

I never get heartbroken
No, I'll never get the blues
and if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose
When they spin that wheel of fortune
all I do is kiss my chips
and I know I'm bound to win, yeah
'cause I've got lucky lips

Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
a pair of lips so true

a baby in my arms

Monkey Man


Monkey Man
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman
Monkey woman too, babe!

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
Monkey! monkey! monkey!.......

Ik zag een heel mooi meisje
In een leuke discotheek
Ik was meteen verloren
Toen ik even naar haar keek

En voor ik het besefte
Gaf ik haar spontaan
En blozend vroeg dat lieve kind
Het nog een keer te doen

Rode lippen moet je kussen
Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt
Oh, het is zo zalig
Als jouw mond de hare raakt

Ik kan het echt niet laten
Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat
Want rode lippen kussen is
Het mooiste dat bestaat

Nu is dat mooie meisje
Al een jaar m'n lieve vrouw
En iedere avond vraagt ze mij
Hoeveel ik van haar hou

En ook wil zij nog weten
Of ik haar steeds kussen zal
Dan zeg ik 'wees gerust, m'n schat'
Dat doe ik liefst van al

Rode lippen moet je kussen
Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt
Oh, het is zo zalig
Als jouw mond de hare raakt

Ik kan het echt niet laten
Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat
Want rode lippen kussen is
Het mooiste dat bestaat

Oh, rode lippen moet je kussen
Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt
Oh, het is zo zalig
Als jouw mond de hare raakt

Ik kan het echt niet laten
Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat
Want rode lippen kussen is
Het mooiste dat bestaat

Monkey In Your Soul


Monkey In Your Soul
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan



I got one and you want four
It’s so hard to help you
I can’t keep up with you no more
And you treat me like it’s a sin
But you can’t lock me in
You want me here with you right to the end
No thank you my friend
I fear the monkey in your soul

Won’t you turn that bebop down
I can’t hear my heart beat
Where’s that fatback chord I found?
Honey don’t you think it was wrong
To interrupt my song?
I’ll pack my things and run so far from here
Goodbye dear

I fear the monkey in your soul

Lucky ladybug, lucky ladybug, lucky ladybug

Ladybug, Silver Dollar, Rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, Shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' abracadabra in a cat's eye

I wonder wonder if you love me
Guess I'll ask the stars above me
When the moon is bright canary yellow
It'll really be amazin'
If that crystal ball a-gazin'
Says I'll always be your steady fellow

Ladybug, Silver Dollar, Rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, Shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' abracadabra in a cat's eye

Though your words are smooth & soothin'
Don't you feel it 's time for movin'
C'mon daddy rock me while the planet's rollin'
Keep it cool my ducky wucky
Baby doll our love is lucky
When you walk me down the aisle
We'll do it strollin'

Stupid cupid gave us fever
And an itchy twitchy feelin'
And the green mosquito must've bit us
Got a sloppin' like two robins
Makin' moon talk and bobbin'
Like a firefly splishin and a splashin'

Ladybug, Silver Dollar, Rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, Shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' abracadabra in a cat's eye

Lucky ladybug ...

Monkey And The Underdog


Monkey And The Underdog
Composer(s): David Crosby; Craig Doerge
Performer(s): David Crosby



Well, I went out for my evenin' stroll
All along the boulevard
It's familiar turf from the hills to the surf
I treat it like my front yard

Well, I right away ran into a girl I know
She said "You gotta come with me tonight
The word is out that the underdog
And the monkey gonna finally fight"

I've been fightin', fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
And I've been fightin', fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five

Well, now I'm not what you'd call a violent man
But the news brought a smile to my face
'Cause the underdog is a friend of mine
I'd just love to see him put that monkey in his place

You may think I'm crazy
The odds are against the dog you understand
This monkey is as strong as a gorilla
He'd stretch a tire like a rubber band

But I've been fightin', fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin', oh, oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five

Now, he's sneaky and he'll smile on
Right at you pretend to lick your boots
And all the while he'd be thinking
How to rip your soul out by the roots

When we got there my old underdog
He didn't really look too good, no
But his eyes met mine and he said "I'll kick his ass"
I knew right then he would

Oh, been fightin', yeah, I've been fightin', yeah
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin', oh, oh, oh, oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five

Well, now I don't want to bore you
With a bunch of dialog
It's not how much dog is in the fight
It's how much fight is in my dog

And I've been fightin', oh, fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin', yeah, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five

Oh, fightin', oh, fightin', yeah
Fightin' just to stay alive
Fight ... fightin', fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock ... oh, oh ... oh, oh

Fightin', oh, fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin', yeah, oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five

Lucky Day


Lucky Day
Composer(s): Chris Rea
Performer(s): Chris Rea



A little bit of daylight
Shines on my pillow
It comes through my window pane
Speak of the morning
Hope is eternal
Better to look at this way
This could be my lucky day

A glass filled with crystals
Six million rainbows
Gifted to see with childrens eyes
Always a small chance
Of shooting that rainbow
Bless this down with sweet surprise
This could be my lucky day

No inhibitions, naive forever
Better looking up than looking down
Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it
Leave those kind of complications
Never to be found
This could be my lucky day

Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo

The monkey an’ the baboon settin’ on the fence, monkey called the baboon to fatten his quench
Baboon set him back in his class, when he knocked him on his oh my, yes

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Woo woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo
Wa woo wa woo wa woo wa woo, woo woo woo woo woo

The monkey and the baboon playin’ in the grass, monkey stuck his finger in the baboon’s glass
Monkey got a stick an’ hit ‘im ‘cross the head, now the little monkey is sick in bed

Cryin’ monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo
Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me I’ll make a baboon out of you
