The Birthday


The Birthday
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): The Idle Race



She had a birthday yesterday she cried
Took off her glasses let her hair down cried

She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?
Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh

She sent the invitations to her friends
They were too busy doing other things
She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?
Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh

She took the decorations from the wall
Was it the ladder loose that made her fall?
She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?
Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh

She had a birthday yesterday she cried

Canción Sobre Canción


Canción Sobre Canción
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Toco la mañana, cargo el aire, cargo 4 como en aquella canción
voy a cantar un poco, voy a tejer siluetas como el día y la noche
como el degradée
Todo buen comienzo huele a rosa en penumbras
como un loco en un jardín
Blanco para la flecha, blanco que es armonía
flecha que apunta exacto hacia el corazón
Canción que cuenta como nace
canción de amor que te recuerda
canción sobre canción, como rayos de sol
Vivimos tras los escenarios
tratando de entender un poco
canción sobre canción como rayos de sol
Vuelan las cenizas de una enagua
en plena altura sobre el filo de un placard
ella no dice nada sólo se ven sus curvas
ella no está y espera su caballo rojo
Vuelvo a caminar sobre aquel hilo pentagrama
que respira en un papel
sigo desarrollando, quiero encender el fuego
yo quiero acabar la línea
cuando den las diez

Feels Like Forever


Feels Like Forever
Composer(s): Bryan Adams; Diane Warren
Performer(s): Joe Cocker



I saw you
That was all I had to see
Why don't you
Had to have you next to me
From that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You turned my world around

All I know
Is that it feels like forever
All I know
Yes I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never wanna see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

Hold me
Love is you trust in me
Is telling me
Let's put our hearts and hands and faith
Time will tell us
If what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You've turned my world around

All I know
That it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

I might have never met you
At another time or place
Never I never could forget you
I could never walk away
That's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You've turned my world around

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together

Feels Like A Woman


Feels Like A Woman
Composer(s): Tena Clark; Zucchero
Performer(s): Zucchero



This is a man
Who needs a woman
I'm not afraid to say what I feel
I'll never ne unfaithful
I've been wrong and lived the lonely nights
Silence is loud
Without her whispers
My body craves her touch
Such are my prayers
Every break of dawn
To open my eyes
And see her by my side
Take it
When the earth shakes
And the tide breaks
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
When the sun beats
Satin blue sheets
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
When the sun beats
Satin blue sheets
Feels like a woman
I am sweating, begging her to stay with me
This is a man
Who needs a woman
In all of my world and my nights
If I don't live up to this promise
Then I'm wrong, I have no right
Take it
When the earth shakes
And the tide breaks
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
When the sun beats
Satin blue sheets
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
When the earth shakes
And the tide breaks
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
When the sun beats
Satin blue sheets
Feels like a woman
So much power takes my breath away
This is a man
Who needs a woman
I'm not afraid to say what I feel
I'll never be unfaithful
And I've been wrong, but not tonight

Birth Of The Blues


Birth Of The Blues
Composer(s): B.G. DeSylva - Lew Brown - Ray Henderson
Performer(s): Paul Whiteman
and multiple other artists



These are the blues
Nothing but blues

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diffrent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can

They only had the rhythm
They started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start, the start of the blues

And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues

From a whippoorwill
Way up on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn
Into a blue note

And then they nursed it
They rehearsed it
And then sent out that news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues

They nursed it
And they rehearsed it
That the Southland they gave birth to the blues

Feelings


Feelings
Composer(s): Albert Morris; Mauricio Kaiserman
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Feelings, nothing more than feelings
trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my heart

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my life

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms
Feelings...

The Birds And The Bees


The Birds And The Bees
((Danish Version: Blomster Og Bier (Birthe Kjær) - 1974))
Composer(s): Herb Newman
First release by: Jewel Akens - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love"

Let me tell you 'bout the stars in the sky
And a girl and a guy
And the way they could kiss
On a night like this

When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life
Starting from A to Z

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love" (Yeah!)

When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life
Starting from A to Z

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love"

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
'bout the birds

and the bees

Canción Por La Unidad Latinoamericana


Canción Por La Unidad Latinoamericana Composer(s): Pablo Milanés Performer(s): Pablo Milanés; Aaron Goldberg



El nacimiento de un mundo
Se aplazó por un momento
Fue un breve lapso del tiempo
Del universo un segundo

Sin embargo parecia
Que todo se iba a acabar
Con la distancia mortal
Que separó nuestras vidas

Realizavan la labor
De desunir nossas mãos
E fazer com que os irmãos
Se mirassem com temor

Cunado passaron los años
Se acumularam rancores
Se olvidaram os amores
Parecíamos estraños

Que distância tão sofrida
Que mundo tão separado
Jamás se hubiera encontrado
Sin aportar nuevas vidas

E quem garante que a História
É carroça abandonada
Numa beira de estrada
Ou numa estação inglória

A História é um carro alegre
Cheio de um povo contente
Que atropela indiferente
Todo aquele que a negue

É um trem riscando trilhos
Abrindo novos espaços
Acenando muitos braços
Balançando nossos filhos

Lo que brilla con luz propia
Nadie lo puede apagar
Su brillo puede alcanzar
La oscuridad de otras costas

Quem vai impedir que a chama
Saia iluminando o cenário
Saia incendiando o plenário
Saia inventando outra trama

Quem vai evitar que os ventos
Batam portas mal fechadas
Revirem terras mal socadas
E espalhem nossos lamentos

E enfim quem paga o pesar
Do tempo que se gastou
De las vidas que costó
De las que puede costar

Já foi lançada uma estrela
Pra quem souber enxergar
Pra quem quiser alcançar
E andar abraçado nela

Já foi lançada um estrela
Pra quem souber enxergar
Pra quem quiser alcançar
E andar abraçado nela

Feeling That Way


Feeling That Way
Composer(s): Aynsley Dunbar;
Steve Perry; Dave Rolicke; Gregg Rolie
Performer(s): Journey



Opened my eyes to a new kind of way
All the good times that you saved
Are you feeling
You feeling that way too
Or am I just
Am I just a fool

When the summer’s gone
She’ll be there standing by the light
Once she’s bee to where she’s gone to
She should know wrong from right

A new road’s waiting, you touched my life
Soft and warm on a summer’s night
You’re the only one, the only one I love
The lovely one, I’m thinking of

The Bird On My Head


The Bird On My Head
Composer(s): Ross Bagdasarian
Performer(s): David Seville



(words in brackets are sung by the bird)

I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms (and I belong in a tree)

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
I should have a house and bed (and I should have me a wife)

We're just sittin' in a vacant lot and we haven't got a dime
The bird and me, lonely as can be, we're together all the time

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms (and I belong in a tree)

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What I say is no lie
We've been sittin' here so long (that I forgot how to fly)

I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot (and I'm sittin' on his head)

(both)
The things we want we haven't got need a tree and house and bed

(both)
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
(He belongs in someone's arms) and he belongs in a tree

(both)
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
(He should have a house and bed) and he should have him a wife

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms...

(and I belong in a tree)

Canción Para Un Amigo


Canción Para Un Amigo Composer(s): J.L. Ubiergo - Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



No he podido olvidarte amigo mío
no he podido sacarte de mi mente
ni apagar esa Luna creciente
que alumbraba indiferente
esa noche en tu camino

No he podido olvidar tu melodía
artesano, noble guitarrero
más allá de la pala y el sombrero
se escondía un hombre bueno
con voz de melancolía

Al vuelo 403 llamaron
rezaste el Padre Nuestro en el adiós
mordiéndote la rabia y la tristeza
valiente te pusiste el cinturón
y el sol quiso abrazarte esa mañana
pero ya estaba escrita, tú última canción

No he podido olvidarte amigo mío
pues el tiempo agranda tu recuerdo
charrúa de carnet y de nacimiento
chileno de razón y sentimiento
que en esta tierra hiciste el nido

No he podido olvidar, no lo podría
al Quijote que sin armadura
defendió su credo y su locura
con una guitarra y partituras
y desafió a la noche con su vida

Al vuelo 403 llamaron
rezaste el Padre Nuestro en el adiós
mordiéndote de rabia y de tristeza
valiente te pusiste en cinturón
y el sol quiso abrazarte esa mañana
pero ya estaba escrita, tú última canción

The Bird Has Flown


The Bird Has Flown
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Rod Evans - Jon Lord
Performer(s): Deep Purple



For the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand

All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow

The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

Canción Para Mi Soldado


Canción Para Mi Soldado
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Si caigo en el camino
hagan cantar mi fusil
y ensanchenle su destino
porque no debe morir
si caigo en el camino
como puede suceder
que sigo el canto mi amigo
cumpliendo con su deber

La muerte pone un dilvido
en los oidos del hombre
canto que no tiene nombre
cancion que busca su trino
cumple en la selva destino
simple de hombre militante
el turno de los instantes
de su verdadera suerte
como me manda la muerte
con su palabra quemante

Si caigo en el camino...

Cancion para mi soldado
es la que quiero cantar
y con ella confesar
que es un canto enamorado
el de ayer, el de despues
cuando elegimos el rumbo
bajo la estrella del Che

The Bird


The Bird
Composer(s): Hal Coleman - Barry Etris
Performer(s): Jerry Reed



Well my throat was dry and I was getting’ late
And I was at this bat on the interstate
When this guy with a bird on his shoulder walked in the door
And he proceeded to tell me the strangest thing
He said, “Sir this bird of mine can sing like no other bird
You’ve never heard before!”
Well I just looked at the guy and said “Oh really?”
And he turned to the bird and said”Do ole Willie”
When that bird started singing I almost hit the floor
Whiskey River take my mind
Don’t let her memory torture me
Whiskey River don’t run dry
You’re all I got to take care of me
Well if that ain't the durndest thing
I thought, son, what a heck of a thing
A man could get rich making that bird sing
And I could feel this wild idear comin' on strong
I said, “I’m just sittin’ here with two weeks pay
And I’d probably blow it all anyway
I’ll buy that bird If he’ll do one more song”
Maybe I didn’t hold you quite as often as I should have
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
I said, “well that does it sir, yep
I’d like to buy that bird
Would $500.00 take him off your hands?”
Well, he thought for a while and he said, “alright”
He handed me the bird and he said “goodnight”
Counted the money and out the door he ran
I was thinkin’ I’d found the rainbow’s end
My ship would soon be rolling in
When that bird sailed out the door
And he was gone
And as I watched him leave I got boilin’ mad
‘Cause I knew right then that I’d been had
And as he faded in the night he was singing this song
On the road again
I just can’t wait to get on the road again (Somebody stop that bird!)
The life I love is making money with my friend
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

Canción Para Luchar


Canción Para Luchar Composer(s): León Gieco - Luis Gurevich Performer(s): León Gieco



Canción para cantar
unidos y haciendo frente
a la intolerancia ciega
de unos pocos dementes
que arrastran en su discurso
la sangre de un pueblo débil

Canción para aclarar
las cosas que están pendientes
justicia que queda chica
donde la vida no vale
Por tantos gobiernos sordos
más fotos y más escraches

Canción del bien, canción del mal
Para reír, para luchar
Si hoy voy por vos, yo esperaré
Si me llamás, aquí estaré

Canción para decir
las cosas que pocos dicen
Por lo general, la gente
si no le pasa, no siente
Y así todo se repite
y así nunca se lo aprende

Canción para sacar
más fuerzas de la galera
de este mundo de magias
y de maldad verdadera
Hoy salvo a muchos del hambre
y enveneno cielo y tierra

Well come on
All you people
The time has come to get together
You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music
To get you through the stormy weather
And do whatever you feel

Nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

Ooo are you feelin' satisfied
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Ooo are you ready tonight
Come on let us give your mind a ride
You can do what you like
Come on let us give your mind a ride

Oh that funky feelin'

Don't let your troubles get to you
'Cause win or lose it's alright
Well take control
And nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

So come on
Put you hands together
You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

Ooo are you feelin' satisfied
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Ooo are you ready tonight
Come on let us give your mind a ride
You can do what you like
Come on let us give your mind a ride

The Bilbao Song


The Bilbao Song
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht – Kurt Weill - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Andy Williams
and multiple other artists



That old Bilbao moon, I won't forget it soon
That old Bilbao moon, just like a big balloon
That old Bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While Tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tune
We'd sing a song the whole night long and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest nights of them all

No paint was on the door (no paint was on the door)
The grass grew through the floor (the grass grew through the floor)
Of Tony's two by four (of Tony's two by four)
On the Bilbao shore (on the Bilbao shore)
But there were friends galore (howdy do, howdy do)
And there was beer to pour (chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug)
And moonlight on the shore (and the moon shines above)
That old Bilbao shore (on the shore, not the rug)
We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest nights of them all

That old Bilbao moon, I won't forget it soon
That old Bilbao moon, just like a big balloon
That old Bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While Tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tune
We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest nights of them all
