The Best Thing For You


The Best Thing For You
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and multiple other artists



Please let me say from the start
I don't pretend to be smart
I just suggest what I think best
Having your int'rest at heart

I only want what's the best thing for you
And the best thing for you would be me
I've been convinced after thinking it through
That the best thing for you would be me

Ev'ry day
To myself I say
Point the way
What will it be

I ask myself what's the best thing for you
And myself and I seem to agree
That the best thing for you would be me

Canción De Amor Mientras Tanto


Canción De Amor Mientras Tanto Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez



En medio de toda la gente
yo voy a volarme la frente
después prenderé un cigarrillo
tal vez baile contigo
hoy voy a salir a la calle
y voy a incendiar tus ciudades
no se lo que han hecho conmigo
el menos permanezco vivo

Y marie no puede zafarse
quedo encerrada en una cárcel
y Danny solo piensa en Cristo
por el quemo a sus cuatro hijos
Canción de amor
entre vos y yo
canción de amor
mientras tanto

Un loco juega con fantasmas
mi barrio puede estar en calma
santiago cruz a adivino
violo las leyes del destino
y Luca se dio por muerto
por asco y por aburrimiento
en Baires, en Londres o en Rusia
todo es una pelea sucia
Canción de amor
entre vos y yo
mientras tanto

Feed The Birds


Feed The Birds
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Julie Andrews;
and various other artists



Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she calls
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you"

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares

Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

The Best Of Times (Styx)


The Best Of Times
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx



Tonight's the night we'll make history
Honey you and I
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight)

I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people lock their doors, and hide inside
Rumour has it it's the end of Paradise

But I know, if the world if the world just passed us by, baby I know
I wouldn't have to cry

The best of times, are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find
These are the best of times
These are the best of times

The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times"
I do believe it's true
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise

But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know
You'd always be around

The best of times, are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find

(When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!)

(When I'm alone with you ...)

Canción De Amor


Canción De Amor ((Adapted from: Love Song (by Lesley Duncan) - 1969)) ((Swedish Version: Kärlekssång (by Sylvia Vrethammar) - 1973)) Composer(s): Lesley Duncan - Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo - 1976



Lo que voy a decir
es sencillo y es verdad
hasta que no des tu amor
serás un ave sin vuelo
La vida está llena de amor
el hombre nació del amor
venimos a hacer el amor
apréndelo bien, todo eso es amor
Sé que es duro para ti
olvidar lo que aprendimos
dejar una vida atrás
y empezar otro camino
Amor es la puerta cruzar
verdad es la llama encender
ser libre también es amor
apréndelo bien, todo eso es amor
La vida está llena de amor
el hombre nació del amor
venimos a hacer el amor
apréndelo bien, tú eres es amor
apréndelo bien, todo eso es amor

Feed Me (Git It)


Feed Me (Git It)
Composer(s): Alan Menken; Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Dequina Moore



Feed me
Feed me
Feed me!
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
"That's right, boy!"
You can do it...

Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long...
'Cause if you feed me, Seymour
I can grow up, big and strong

Would you like a Cadillac car?
Or a guest-shot on Jack Parr?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr...
You gonna git it
"If you want it, baby"

How'd ya like to be a big wheel?
Dinning out, for every meal
I'm the plant can make it all real
You're gonna git it

Hey, I'm your Genie
I'm your friend
I'm your willin' slave...
Take a chance, feed me, yeah
You know the kinda eats
The kinda ret-hot tastes
The kinda sticky licky, sweets I crave...

Ow! Come on, Seymour
Don't be a putz!
Trust me and your life will surely
Rival King Tut's
Show a little initiative, boy
Work up some guts
And you'll git it

I don't know
I don't know
I have so...so many strong...reservations
Should I go...and perform...mutilations?

Think about a room at the Ritz
Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz
A little nookie gonna clean up those zits
And you'll git it...uh huh...

Gee I'd like a Harley Machine
Take it around like I was James Dean
Makin' all the guys on the corner turn green!
So, go git it! woo woo woo!

If you wanna be profound...
If you really gotta justify...
Take a breath and look around...
A lot of folks deserve to die...

If you want a rationale
It isn't very hard to see
No, No, No...
Stop and think it over, pal
The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
The guy sure looks like plant food to me...!

He's so nasty treatin' her rough!
Smackin' her around, and always talkin' so tough!
You need blood and he's got more than enough!
I need blood and he's got more than enough!
(You/I) need blood and he's got more than enough...!
So, Go Git It!

The Best Of Times (George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish)


The Best Of Times
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
First performance by: George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish - 1983



The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well,
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well,
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well,
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well,
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

La, la, la...

Canción Consumo


Canción Consumo
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Desde Santurce A Bilbao Blues Band



Rezan las leyes básicas
de una curiosa estética
que el hombre es una máquina
consumidora intrépida
Compre electrodomésticos
dicen los nuevos místicos
es el gran signo de éxito
del "homo sapientísimo"

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Queda un último término
lo del salario mínimo
con el Madrid-Atlético
y el juego quinielístico
La corrida benéfica
hoy televisan íntegra
es la moderna técnica
de crear alienígenas

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Este mensaje estúpido
tan saturado en tópicos
hay que venderlo al público
como un jabón biológico
así dispone el código
mafioso-discográfico
y así se explota al prójimo
prójimo y primo práctico

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Federico Garcia Lorca


Federico Garcia Lorca
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat; C.H. Vic
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Les guitares jouent des sérénades
Que j'entends sonner comme un tocsin
Mais jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade
"Bien que j'en sache le chemin"

Dans ta voix
Galopaient des cavaliers
Et les gitans étonnés
Levaient leurs yeux de bronze et d'or
Si ta voix se brisa
Voilà plus de vingt ans qu'elle résonne encore
Federico García

Voilà plus de vingt ans, Camarades
Que la nuit règne sur Grenade

Il n'y a plus de prince dans la ville
Pour rêver tout haut
Depuis le jour où la guardia civil
T'a mis au cachot

Et ton sang tiède en quête de l'aurore
S'apprête déjà
J'entends monter par de longs corridors
Le bruit de leurs pas

Et voici la porte grande ouverte
On t'entraîne par les rues désertées
Ah! Laissez-moi le temps de connaître
Ce que ma mère m'a donné

Mais déjà
Face au mur blanc de la nuit
Tes yeux voient dans un éclair
Les champs d'oliviers endormis
Et ne se ferment pas
Devant l'âcre lueur éclatant des fusils
Federico García

Les lauriers ont pâli, Camarades
Le jour se lève sur Grenade

Dure est la pierre et froide la campagne
Garde les yeux clos
De noirs taureaux font mugir la montagne
Garde les yeux clos

Et vous Gitans, serrez bien vos compagnes
Au creux des lits chauds
Ton sang inonde la terre d'Espagne
O Federico

Les guitares jouent des sérénades
Dont les voix se brisent au matin
Non, jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade
"Bien que j'en sache le chemin"

Best Of My Love (Eagles)


Best Of My Love
Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey - J.D. Souther
First release by: Eagles - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Every night I'm lyin' in bed
holdin' you close in my dreams
thinkin' about all the things that we said
and comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud empty places
look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above
but here in my heart I give you the best of my love

O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you get the best of my love
You Get The Best Of My Love
O-O- Sweet Darlino-Oh' You get the best of my love
You Get The Best Of My Love

I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream
it was a quiet night and I would be alright
if I could go on sleeping

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
what's gonna happen today
You see it your way and I see it mine
but we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love

O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin'
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-OH Sweet Darlin' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you got it
You get the best of my love...

Canción A Mi Padre


Canción A Mi Padre
Composer(s): Sacramento Ramirez
Performer(s): Los Razos



A mi ser que más quiero en mi vida
yo le quiero cantar mi canción
A mi padre que me dió mi vida
y diario el me da su bendición
y le pide a mi Dios que me cuide
dónde quiera que siempre yo voy

A ti padre te doy yo las gracias
que me hiciste un hombre de bien
con tu ejemplo y buenos consejos
yo mi vida logré componer
Hoy yo me siento de ti orgulloso
y en los vicios no vulevo a caer

A mi madre ya no la tenemos
Dios la quiso tener a su lado
pero siento que allá en el cielo
nos bendice a mi y a mis hermanos
y a ti padre te manda la calma
pa' que siempre estes a nustro lado

Hoy me siento un poquito triste
por que un beso no te puedo dar
'toy tan lejos papá de la casa
que hay momentos que quiero llorar
yo quisiera tenerte a mi lado
y en mis brazos poderte estrechar

Dios te pido que cuides mi padre
porqué yo quiero volverlo a ver
solo Tu puedes darme licencia
de estar juntos de nuevo otra vez
también quiero mirar mis hermanos
y a mis hijos que son mi querer

Yo te pido mi padre querido
que siempre me des tu bendición
y le pidas a mi madrecita
que me cuide 'onde quiera que voy
que me guié por el mejor camino
y me cuide de alguna traición

Febrero 8


Febrero 8
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



En la sombra de un rosal
y escondida entre las ramas
estaba la niña
esperando mi llegada
y la brisa del mar
acrecentó su nostalgia
y el canto de la cigarra
le anunció que llegaba…

Y en el vientre presintió
que la semilla palpitaba
y su fatiga se posó
en el lecho de unas ramas
y un jilguero le contó
que la espera no es larga
que cuando llega un hijo
nace la esperanza…

Y la espera se marchitó
una mañana de Febrero
y la savia se quedó
en el fruto del madero
y la niña comprendió
que ya no tenía miedo
y su vientre dio una flor
y mi voz quedó en el viento

The Best Of Everything


The Best Of Everything
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Alfred Newman
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
and multiple other artists



The best of everything - that’s (that is) what I wish you all
The best of everything - a rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall

A yacht that wins you cups
Skateboards with style and speed
Show dogs or loving pups
The pride of the pound or the pedigreed

I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test
I hope your good keeps getting better - ’til your better’s best

With every wine you taste
With every song you sing
By now you may have guest
I hope you get the best of everything

Canção De Pedroca


Canção De Pedroca
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Quando nos apaixonamos
Poça d'água é chafariz
Ao olhar o céu de Ramos
Vê-se as luzes de Paris

No verão é uma delícia
A brisa fresca de Bangu
Mesmo um cabo de polícia
Só nos diz merci beaucoup

Eu ouço um samba de breque
Com Maurice Chevalier
Bebo com Toulouse Lautrec
No bar do Caxinguelê

Daí ninguém mais estranha
O Louvre na Praça Mauá
E o borbulhar de champanha
Num gole de guaraná

Cascadura é Rive Gauche
O Mangue é Champs Elisées
Até mesmo um bate-coxa
Faz lembrar um pas-de-deux
Purê de batata roxa
Parece marron glacé

Walking here from beyonder
Just to see (Just to see the right road)
Just to see
You know I don't wanna leave here

The Best Man


The Best Man
Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks
'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks
Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be
And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins
But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins
The way it all turned out, there was no doubt
That I was best man in the end
Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

So don't you think you're best til you pass the test
And you know all the ladies' tricks
'Cause you'll wind up as the best man
While the other guy gets the chicks

Canção Da América


Canção Da América Composer(s): Fernando Brant - Milton Nascimento Performer(s): Milton Nascimento and multiple other artists



Amigo é coisa para se guardar
Debaixo de 7 chaves
Dentro do coração
assim falava a canção que na América ouvi
mas quem cantava chorou ao ver o seu amigo partir
mas quem ficou, no pensamento voou
o seu canto que o outro lembrou
E quem voou no pensamento ficou
uma lembrança que o outro cantou
Amigo é coisa para se guardar
No lado esquerdo do peito
mesmo que o tempo e a distância digam não
mesmo esquecendo a canção
O que importa é ouvir a voz que vem do coração
Seja o que vier
venha o que vier
Qualquer dia amigo eu volto pra te encontrar
Qualquer dia amigo, a gente vai se encontrar

Aproveito pra agradecer à meus amigos
Eline taisa Smili, Rafa.......
E dizer que Danilo vc sempre vai ser meu amigo.........

Feather Your Nest


Feather Your Nest
Composer(s): Al Kendis;
James Brockman; Howard Johnson
Performer(s): Bob Crosby; Bob Cats;
Les Brown; Henry Burr; Albert Campbell



Oh sweetheart mine, it's wedding time
The whole world seems to say
The summer days are fading
Into loveland let us stray
Birds sing merrily
High up in each tree
And, sweetheart, they sing messages
Just for you and me

Your heart is beating peacefully
When friends are fond and true
The world is filled with gladness
When the one you love loves you
Mountains or the sea over we may roam
The path that leands to love, sweet love
Leads to home sweet home

The birds are humming, "go feather your nest"
Tomorrow's coming so feather your nest
It's time for mating, no use hesitating
The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it's best
In a home for two, love, together we'll rest
Where only true love, can weather the test
Don't be delaying, the organ is playing
The whole world is saying, "Go feather your nest"

The Best Is Yet To Come


The Best Is Yet To Come
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman
First recording/First release by: Tony Bennett - 1960/1961
Covered by multiple other artists



Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come and won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine

From the day that your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine

Canary Isle


Canary Isle
Performer(s): Ben Schwartz



Down on an isle where palm trees sway
There's where I'll while my time away
I hear it calling me
From way out in the sea
That's just the reason why I say

The balmy air just breathes perfume
And maidens dance 'neath tropic moon
Romance is everywhere
There's not a thought or care
Nothing can get me there too soon

Canary Isle where birds are singing
My fairy land, I'm going there
A little while, and I'll be bringing
A song of love, to my lady fair (Music will fill the air)
And while we're crooning, a long in tune
Beneath the bright stars and silv'ry moon
You'll hear my song
I'll see your smile
Then I'll belong
In Canary Isle
