The Cheap Seats


The Cheap Seats
Composer(s): Marcus Hummon - Randy Sharp
Performer(s): Alabama; Marcus Hummon



This town ain't big, this town ain't small
It's a little of both they say
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A

We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall
We do the wave all by ourself
Hang ump, a blind man could've made that call

We like beer flat as can be
We like our dogs with mustard and relish
We got a great pitcher what's his name
Well we can't even spell it
We don't worry about the penant much
We just like to see the boys hit it deep
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

The game was close, we'll call it a win
Go off to toast the boys again
That local band is back in town
They got a kinda minor league sound

They're not that bad, they're not that good
But all in all it's understood
We wanna dance, they wanna play
We wouldn't have it any other way

We like beer flat as can be
We like our dogs with mustard and relish
We got a great pitcher what's his name
Well we can't even spell it
We don't worry about the penant much
We just like to see the boys hit it deep
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

Cheap seats

Now the majors called up oh what's his name
And one more buildin' rises tall
And suddenly we're all grown up
And this old town's not quite so small
But I'll always miss the middle size town
In the middle of the middle-west
With no name pitchers and local bands,
And mustard and relish and all the rest.

We like beer flat as can be
We like our dogs with mustard and relish
We got a great pitcher what's his name
Well we can't even spell it
We don't worry about the penant much
We just like to see the boys hit it deep
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

Cheap seats

Cantares De Trilla


Cantares De Trilla
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Ya viene la galbana
por aquel cerro
venga o no venga
yo ya la tengo
Una viuda va a misa
y va diciendo
¿Quién me compra esta viña
que ha muerto el dueño?
Ventanas a la calle
son peligrosas
pa los padres que tienen
niñas hermosas
El ermitaño un buen día
por beber agua enfermó
y la Virgen le decía
"Bebe vino y agua no"
Por la sierra de Lares
vienen bajando
veinticuatro mil frailes
tras un pan blanco

Finland


Finland
Composer(s): Chi Durang; Eric Idle; Michael Palin
Performer(s): Monty Python



Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
It's the country for me

You're so near to Russia
So far from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the Hall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to Belgium
When going abroad

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

Finland has it all ...

Cantaré, Cantarás


Cantaré, Cantarás
Composer(s): Juan Carlos Calderón; Anahi
Performer(s): Hermanos



Quiero ser, un puerto en el mar
ser ese compás, que te devuelva el rumbo
Quiero ser, un lugar de paz
y no dejar jamás, que se te acabe el mundo
Amigo, amigo
no hay nada que temer estoy contigo
Y después de la oscuridad
esperando está un nuevo día
Cantaré, cantarás
y esa luz al final del sendero
brillará como un sol, que ilumina al mundo entero
Cada vez somos más
y si al fin nos damos la mano
Siempre habrá un lugar para todo ser humano
Junto a ti quiero caminar
compartir el pan, la pena y la esperanza
Descubrir que en el corazón
siempre hay un rincón que no olvida la infancia
Amigo, amigo
hay tanto por hacer, cuenta conmigo
Cantaré, cantarás
y esa luz al final del sendero
brillará como un sol, que ilumina al mundo entero
Cada vez somos más
y si al fin nos damos la mano
Siempre habrá un lugar para todo ser humano
Yo quisiera tener el poder
de ayudar y cambiar tu destino
Te daré cuanto puedo dar
sólo sé cantar y para ti es mi canto
Y mi voz junto a las demás
en la inmensidad se está escuchando
Cantaré, cantarás
y esa luz al final del sendero
brillará como un sol, que ilumina al mundo entero
Cada vez somos más
y si al fin nos damos la mano
Siempre habrá un lugar para todo ser humano
I will sing, you will sing
And a song will bring us together
And our hopes and our prayes
We will make them last forever
Cantaré, cantarás
y esa luz al final del sendero
brillará como un sol, que ilumina al mundo entero
Cada vez somos más
y si al fin nos damos la mano
Siempre habrá un lugar para todo ser humano

Fini La Comédie


Fini La Comédie
Composer(s): James "Cookie" Palmer; Karel Ricanek;
Angelo La Bionda; Carmelo La Bionda; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida



C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux

On s'est aimé longtemps au point d'oublier le temps
Qui tout au long des scènes transformait les joies en peine
Il a gagné le temps, il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau

C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
On était bien parti éternité garantie
On était seuls au monde devant nous la route longue
Pas de sens interdit

Il a gagné le temps, il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau

C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux
C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie

The Charm Of You


The Charm Of You
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys
With little girls and boys when first they see the tree
The thrill of you is comparable to the thrill I felt
when I first learned the heart could sigh
And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have never met
I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get, and
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you

So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you

Cantar, Cantar, Cantar


Cantar, Cantar, Cantar
Composer(s): J. Ordaz Aguilera
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



¡Qué bueno ha sido regresar a la cosecha
después que el tiempo mejoró las madrugadas!
¡Qué bueno ha sido el despertar
sobre la almohada que soñé
cuando el amor y la canción nos esperaban
Hay que cantarle un homenaje a la sonrisa
de aquel ancestro soñador que, en la garganta
dejó su pétalo mejor
para que hiciera florecer, alguna vez
el corazón y la esperanza

Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz

Cuando sabe a realidad la maravilla
de aventurarse a ser canción y a ser guitarra
late la prisa por amar
y el corazón se vuelve un mágico volcán
que arranca el grito de esperanza
Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz
Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez

Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz

Cantando No Toro


Cantando No Toro
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar o tom
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
A voz é rouca mas o mote é bom
Sambando na lama e causando frisson

Mas olha só
Um samba de cócoras em terra de sapo
Sapateando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar lição
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
Mas com um pouco de imaginação
Sambando na lama sem tocar o chão

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem fazer fé
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
Aba de touca, jura de mulher
Sambando na lama e passando o boné

Mas olha só
Por fora filó, filó
Por dentro, molambo
Cambaleando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar o que tem e o que não tem
Tocando a bola no segundo tempo
Atrás de tempo, sempre tempo vem
Sambando na lama, amigo, e tudo bem

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que estar feliz
Sambando na lama de salvando o verniz

Mas olha só
Em terra de sapo, sambando de cócoras
Sapateando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que estar tranchã
Sambando na lama, amigo, até amanhã

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

The Chamber Of 32 Doors


The Chamber Of 32 Doors
Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis



At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people
running around to all the doors
They try to find themselves an audience
their deductions need applause

The rich man stands in front of me
The poor man behind my back
They believe they can control the game
but the juggler holds another pack

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard
Survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield
When you're out in the field

But down here
I'm so alone with my fear
With everything that I hear
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back here again
I've got to find my own way

The priest and the magician
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard
They're all calling out my name
Even academics, searching printed word

My father to the left of me
My mother to the right
Like everyone else they'er pointing
But nowhere feels quite right

And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound
If I chose a side
He won't take me for a ride

Back inside
This chamber of so many doors
I've nowhere to hide
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again - take me away

Te voy a dedicar otra canción
a ver si me devuelves tu cariño
ya vengo de rezar otra oración
a ver si se compone mi destino

Acuerdate que siempre te adoré
no dejes que me pierda en mi pobreza
ya todo lo que tuve se me fue
si tú también te vas me lleva la tristeza
no dejes que me muera por tu amor
si tienes corazón enseñalo y regresa

(Canta, canta, canta
que tu dicha es tanta
que hasta Dios te adora)

canta, canta, canta
palomita blanca
mientras mi alma llora

Si quieres que me arranque el corazón
y pongo junto a ti mis sentimientos
espera a que termine mi canción
tú sabes que yo cumplo un juramente

Acuerdate que siempre te adoré
no dejes que me pierda en mi pobreza
ya todo lo que tuve se me fue
si tú también te vas me lleva la tristeza
no dejes que me muera por tu amor
si tienes corazón enseñalo y regresa

(Canta, canta, canta
que tu dicha es tanta
que hasta Dios te adora)

Fingerprint File


Fingerprint File
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Fingerprint file, you get me down
You keep me running
Know my way around
Yes, you do, child
Fingerprint file, you bring me down
Keep me running
You keep me on the ground
Know my moves
Way ahead of time
Listening to me
On your satellite

Feeling followed
Feeling tagged
Crossing water
Trying to wipe my tracks

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down

You better watch out
On your telephone
Wrong number
They know you ain't home

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down

Who's the man on the corner; that corner over there
I don't know
Well, you better lay low
Watch out

Keep on the look out
Electric eyes
Rats on the sell out
Who gonna testify
You know my habits
Way a head of time
Listening to me
On your satellite

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
It gets me down

Hello, baby, mm-hmm
Ah, yeah, you know we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone
Who's listening?
Well I don't really know
But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light
Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy
Shoot first, that' s right... you know
Bye bye
Right now somebody is listening to...... you
Keeping their eyes peeled...... on you
Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
All right
Good night, sleep tight

The Chain
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham - Stevie Nicks - John McVie - Christine McVie - Mick Fleetwood
First release by: Fleetwood Mac - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

List to the wind blow
Down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

Canta Ragazzina


Canta Ragazzina Composer(s): Labati Donida - Iller Pattacini - Claudio Pepperdrini Performer(s): Bobby Solo; Connie Francis; Mina



Tu sei come me
quando ero un bambino
sei bella e non sai
tutto quello che hai

Canta ragazzina
che il giorno dura solo poche ore
e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire
che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu

Canta ragazzina
e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare
che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore
Ed alla fine resti solo tu
non fare come me
non fare come me
che oramai non vivo più

Un giorno vale una anno
e la vita vale un attimo
ti svegli un mattino
e ti trovi già donna

Canta ragazzina
che il giorno dura solo poche ore
e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire
che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu

Canta ragazzina
e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare
che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore
Ed alla fine resti solo tu
non fare come me
non fare come me
che oramai non vivo più

(man speaks):
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
In the presence of God, and these witnesses
To join this man and this woman in the bonds
Of holy matrimony

Do you Tammy, take this man, George
To be your lawfully wedded husband
To love and to cherish until death do you part?

(T.W.) sings:
I'll take this man and by him I'll stand
I promise that we'll never part
To him, I'll be true
There'll be no one new
From now, till death do us part

(man speaks):
And do you, George, take this woman, Tammy
To be your lawfully wedded wife
To love and to cherish, until death do you part?

Yes I'll take this woman
She'll be mine forever
And I'll love her, with all of my heart

To have and to hold
My love won't grow cold
I promise, till death do us part

(both sing):
We'll take each other
From this day forward
Together, in sickness or health

United with love
We'll face life together
If we're poor or if we have wealth

For better or worst
You'll always come first
And no one can keep us apart

Yes, we take each other
Forsaking all others
Together, till death do us part

(man speaks):
I now pronounce you, man and wife
