Te Quiero Mucho


Te Quiero Mucho
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



No digas más
Que en estos días te has cansado ya de mí
No digas más
Que ya mi amor tú no lo puedes resistir
Te quiero mucho, te quiero mucho
Te quiero mucho, corazón
Si tú te vas
Yo no podría nunca, nunca ser feliz
Si tú te vas
Te llevarías mi alegría junto a ti
Te quiero mucho, te quiero mucho
Te quiero mucho, corazón
Tú te tienes que quedar
No me debes olvidar
No lo pienses, no lo pienses
No lo pienses más
Que más te da
Vivir conmigo solamente un poco más
Puedes probar
Y si después no te convenzo ya te vas
Te quiero mucho, te quiero mucho
Te quiero mucho, corazón

My City Was Gone


My City Was Gone
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders



I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
A, O, Oh way to go Ohio

Well I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, O, Oh way to go Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a Government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, A, O, Oh way to go Ohio

Good Day Sunshine


Good Day Sunshine
((French Version: Entre Tes Bras (Renée Martel) - 1970)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney First release: The Beatles - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists



Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she know she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Te Quiero Morena


Te Quiero Morena
Composer(s): José Serrano
Performer(s): Plácido Domingo



"El trust de los Tenorios"
Te quiero, Morena, te quiero
como se quiere la gloria
como se quiere el dinero
como se quiere a una madre
te quiero

Me muero Baturra
Me muero
Por tu boquita de rosa
Por tu reir zalamero
por los ojos de tu cara
me muero
Es la jota que siempre canté
la sal de mi tierra
Olé!

My Cherie Amour


My Cherie Amour
Composer(s): Henry Cosby; Sylvia Moy; Stevie Wonder
Originally performed by: Stevie Wonder
Covered by various other artists



La la la la la la
La la la la la la

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Good Clean Fun


Good Clean Fun
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): The Monkees; Last Train Home



There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face
And starts to erase all the gloom
And the sun with a kiss, begins to dismiss the
Memory of my life without you
Well it seems like yesterday that my path took me away
Although I know it's been at least a year
But now my path heads home
And your patient time alone
Has brought me even closer to you, dear

And this plane gets closer
Every minute I look down to a watch that keeps looking back at me
And it says to me, "Be patient son you've waited this long"
How can I be strong?

And this the plane gets closer
Every minute I look down to watch that keeps looking back at me
And it says to me, "Be patient son you've waited this long"
How can I be strong?

Well the plane is finally down
And the engines stopped their sound
And I look in the crowd and there you stand
And the gap that once was time
Is forever closed behind
I told you I'd come back and here I am...

Te Quiero Dijiste


Te Quiero Dijiste
((English Version: Magic Is The Moonlight (Cliff Richard) - 1965))
Composer(s): María Grever
First release by: Cliff Richard and The Shadows
Covered by multiple other artists



Te quiero, dijiste tomando mis manos
entre tus manitas de blanco marfil
Y sentí en mi pecho un fuerte latido después un suspiro
y luego el chasquido de un beso febril

Muñequita linda de cabellos de oro
de dientes de perla, labios de rubí
Dime si me quieres cómo yo te quiero
si de mí te acuerdas como yo de ti

Y a veces escucho un eco divino
que envuelto en la brisa parece decir
Sí te quiero mucho, mucho, mucho, mucho
tanto como entonces siempre hasta morir

My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes


My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes Composer(s): Ted Kohler; Eddie Pola; Jack Golden Performer(s): Debroy Somers & His Orch. - 1930 and multiple other artists



Mister Press Man, here's some news You can print it if you choose Just to show that times have changed a lot Though it may sound strange to you It is absolutely true You can believe it.......or not Since making whoopee became all the rage It's even got into the old birdcage My canary has circles under his eyes He used to whistle 'The Prisoner's Song' Now he does snake-hips the whole day long My canary has circles under his eyes His only pals are the Meadow Lark And just a tiny sparrow But I am afraid when he's in the park He leaves the straight and narrow I raised this bird in a manner so strict Now I feel certain I'm being tricked My canary has circles under his eyes His only pals are the Meadow Lark And just a tiny sparrow But I am afraid when he's in the park He leaves the straight and narrow I raised this bird in a manner so strict Now I feel certain I'm being tricked My canary has circles under his eyes My canary has circles under his eyes

Good Christian Soldier


Good Christian Soldier
Composer(s): Bobby Bare; Billy Joe Shaver
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; Bobby Bare



Not so long ago in Oklahoma
The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you
And fight to build a new and better day

Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray
But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore
He just prays to make it through another day

Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we're playin' cards writin' home havin' lots of fun
Telling jokes and learning how to die

Now the things I've come to know seem so confusin'
It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from right
I can't seperate the winners from the losers anymore
And I'm thinking of just giving up the fight

Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we're playin' cards writin' home ain't we hadn't fun
Turning on and learning how to die

Te Quiero A Ti


Te Quiero A Ti
Composer(s): R. Girado
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



No me importa saber que no he sido el primero
que tus labios besó y te dijo te quiero

No me importa saber que han habido ya otros
que pidieron tu amor y lo tuvieron todo

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
y al sabor de tus besos
te quiero a ti

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
estés cerca o muy lejos
te quiero a ti

No me importa saber que dirán de nosotros
si queremos vivir nuestro amor como locos

No me importa saber que hay escrito en tu vida
de quién fuiste mujer si hoy yo sé que eres mía

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
y al sabor de tus besos
te quiero a ti

Te quiero a ti, tan sólo a ti
estés cerca o muy lejos
te quiero a ti

My Cairo Maid


My Cairo Maid
Composer(s): Bud De Sylva; G. Foster; Chris Schonberg



Dreaming, I am always dreaming
When the stars are gleaming, of my Cairo maid
I believe she wants me
For her mem'ry haunts me
I sit and pine till skies are graying, saying

Smiling, I can see her smiling
in her way beguiling, as the shadows fall
For the moon above her
Tells her that I love her
And will return o'er desert, swinging, singing

I know a maid in Cairo
In dreamy Cairo, beside the Nile
I know she's yearning, her heart is burning for my returning
so, for a while, I'll travel upon my camel
o'er scorching gravel unto my shrine
Which means, that I'll go to dreamy Cairo and make this Cairo maiden mine

Good Captain Clack


Good Captain Clack
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Still scowling black
good Captain Clack
must eat his humble pie
His bed is made
the colours fade
his eyes once wet are dry

The naked muse
who sits and chews
tobacco off a tree
removes his shoes
gives way to booze
and searches endlessly

See the naked jumberlack
sip his aphrodisiac
Cotton-picking farmers three
Though I lost my weather vane
and of sense I have one grain
I'm content sipping lemon tea

Te Quiero


Te Quiero
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



"Ah, pero no: la vida es una cosa
tan llena de salud maravillosa
es un regalo de placer tan fiero
es un juego tan útil, tan demente
que ya he vuelto a creer absurdamente
porque dijiste nada más: te quiero"
-Carilda Oliver Labra-

Te quiero
así, de pronto
así de tonto... pero
te quiero
Te quiero
así de claro
así de raro...
pero te quiero
Te quiero
así de burdo
así de absurdo... pero
te quiero
Pero esta noche tristeza obliga
más que a la amante quiero a la amiga
Más que tu pan, quiero tu miga

My Buddy


My Buddy
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Alvino Rey
Covered by various other artists



Life is a book that we study
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
There it was written by a buddy
That we must part, you and I

Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you

Your buddy misses you, yes I do

Good Bye, Rose


Good Bye, Rose
Composer(s): Herbet Ingraham; Addison Burkhart



Once a bird loved a rose
Chirp'd despondently
"Oh! My love
From above
Your fading blush I see
But I cannot linger here
Winter's blasts are near
Lovely flower, from your bower
I must fly I fear
Oh, Dear!

With the Springtime's sunny garb
Came the love sick bird
To the tree anxiously
But still no welcome heard
For the rose sighed in vain
Cried till winter's snows
Half in pity
Froze the pretty
Broken hearted rose he chose

Good bye Rose, the Autumn leaves are falling
Winter blows her trumpets from the sky
When the snows shall melt at Springtime's calling
We will meet again
Some day so good bye Rose

Te Prouver Mon Amour


Te Prouver Mon Amour
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim



Pour te prouver mon amour
que veux-tu que je te donne?
Je te donnerai mes jours
chaque instant de ma personne
Je te donnerai mes jours
mes printemps et mes automnes
mon cœur, légèrement cœur lourd
pour te prouver mon amour

Pour te prouver, mon ami
pour te prouver que je t'aime
je te donnerai mes nuits
chaque instant de mes poèmes
Je te donnerai mes nuits
et le bonheur pour étrennes
pour te prouver, mon ami
que je t'aime à la folie

Pour te prouver ma folie
que veux-tu que je te donne?
Je te donnerai ma vie
sans regret je l'abandonne
Je te donnerai ma vie
avec une joie sans bornes
si vraiment ça te suffit
à te prouver ma folie

Quand je t'aurai tout donné
quand j'aurai vidé mes poches
je pourrai enfin t'aimer
d'un amour sans anicroches
Nous pourrons nous adorer
mais ton appétit féroce
n'aura plus rien à croquer
quand je t'aurai tout donné

Pour te prouver mon amour
là vraiment il y a maldonne
J'ai donné mes nuits, mes jours
et je n'ai plus rien en somme
Tu m'as pris mes jours, mes nuits
mon cœur, mon corps sans vergogne
Tu m'as pris jusqu'à l'envie
de te prouver mon amour
de te prouver mon amour

Self Portrait


Self Portrait
Composer(s): Richard Blackmore; Ronald Padavona
First release by: Rainbow - 1975



Paint me a picture and hang it on the wall
Cover it darkly, the lines must start to crawl
Down, down, down
Spin me around and around
Draw me away to the night from the day
Leave not a trace to be found
Down, down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

Paint me a picture of eyes that never see
With flashes of lightning that burn for only me

Hey hey hey
There's only the devil to pay
I'm ready to go
Pull me down from below
Give me a place I can lay

Hey hey
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

Hey hey
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down
Down, down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down

Good Biscuits


Good Biscuits
Composer(s): Memphis Minnie
Performer(s): Memphis Minnie



Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Don't let no outside woman make no biscuits for your man

I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
Why I'm a single woman today by letting other women feed my man

So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
Ain't gonna have him going around eating biscuits, whoo, whoo, made
up with your nasty hands

I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I don't get no one buddy, I have too many a-doggone friends

You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
But if I catch you feeding my man, whoo, whoo, Lord, I'm going to the pen

Te Perdre


Te Perdre
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Aide-moi à t'aider
Fais pas semblant d'essayer d'essayer
Je n'ai ni Dieu ni Maître
J'sais plus rêver
Il ne me reste qu'une peur
Te perdre
Aime comme je veux t'aimer
Si j'peux entendre alors je rêve
D'écouter maintenant
Tu sais je n'ai qu'une peur
Te perdre, te perdre
Vieillir en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Je joue pas j'suis sincère
Si j'me r'refais pas j'te perd
Cherche pas à trouver
Tous ces mots si durs à cicatriser
Fais pas semblant de tenter pour tenter
Une seule chose me blesse
Te perdre
Juste pour m'éprouver
Si tu me regardes alors je reste
Peut-être mieux vouloir c'est vrai
Je n'ai qu'une peur te perdre
Te perdre
Et vivre en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Oh, je joue pas j'suis sincère
Si j'me r'refais pas j'te perd
Perdre, te perdre
Vieillir en solitaire
Perdre, te perdre
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre
Perdre...
Perdre...
Et pourtant t'es pas unique sur terre...

My Brother's Will


My Brother's Will
Composer(s): Ken Nelson
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers



My brother and I were out hunting
A stray bullet made him its mark
I carried him back to the cabin
His life nothing more than a spark

He whispered to me very softly
Dear brother, I'm going away
So listen and come to me closely
There's so much that I have to say

My sweetheart, her dear name is Sally
Her mother and father have died
She's waiting alone in the valley
When I left her, oh how she cried

I promised to bring her my fortune
Return to the valley and wed
But I've had a call from my maker
So I'll have to go there instead

He gave me the ring he had bought her
And told of the plans they had made
He spoke of how long she had waited
And for his return, how she prayed

He gave me a small piece of paper
The will he had made for this day
I promised to do as he wanted
The Good Lord would show me the way

He gave me his home in the valley
And all of the money he had
He asked me to marry his Sally
And promise she'd never be sad

But once long ago we were rivals
For I loved her too from the start
I'd made up my mind to stay single
For Sally had broken my heart

My dear brother went up to heaven
And I went to our valley home
But Sally had married another
So what's left for me but to roam?

I pray the good Lord up above me
To keep Brother's faith in me still
His Sally was fickle, unfaithful
That's why I broke my brother's will
