Theme For An Imaginary Western


Theme For An Imaginary Western
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce
First release by: Jack Bruce - 1969



When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone

Sometimes traveling to the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known

Oh, the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds

All the dancing and the singing
All the music when they played
All the fires that they started
And all the girls with no regrets

Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it
Sometimes died in sight of day

Con Todo Y Mi Tristeza


Con Todo Y Mi Tristeza Composer(s): Juan Gabriel Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists



¡Ay! que bonito, pero que bonito es que te quiera
Y el estar de veras locamente enamorado
Pero que tristeza, siento que ya no me quieras
Que por otro amor tan pronto me hayas olvidado

Aunque tu no sepas nunca, nunca, nunca, ya mas de mi vida
Que me estoy muriendo sin tus besos poco a poco de tristeza
Que me estoy muriendo por volverte a ver mi vida
Pero tu me has olvidado tanto que no te interesa

Y con todo y mi tristeza me enseñe a no olvidarte
Me enseñe a vivir sin verte pero sin acostumbrarme
Y ya que muero cada dia por tu ausencia que es dolor
Morire con la conciencia tan tranquila por tu amor

¡Ay! pero ¡ay! que maravilloso y que final tendra mi vida
Que hasta en ese momento sin querer te diga adios
Como eres hoy mi vida, mañana seras mi muerte
Tu vas a ser la culpable de que yo muera de amor

Rosemary Lane


Rosemary Lane
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bert Jansch;
and various other artists



When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the good will of my master Amberdine
Till a sailor came there, one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

He called for a candle to light him to bed
And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head
To tie up his head,
as sailors will do,
And then said “My pretty Polly, will you come too?“

Now, this may be young and foolish, she thought it no harm
To lie into bed, for to keep herself warm
And what was done there, I will never disclose
But I wish that short night had been 7 long years

Next morning this sailor so early arose
And into my apron 3 guineas did throw
Saying “This I will give, and more I will do
If you’ll be my Polly wherever I go“

Now if it’s a boy, he will fight for the king
And if it’s a girl, she will wear a gold ring
She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane

When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the good will of my master Amberdine
Till a sailor came there, one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

Theme For A New Love (I Saw You Only Once)


Theme For A New Love (I Saw You Only Once)
Composer(s): Hank Levine
Performer(s): David Jones



I saw you only once, and I knew
There could be no one for me but you
Yours was the face I wanted to see
Wanted to touch, so tenderly
You smiled and took me by surprise
And you captured my heart with your eyes

The way you walk
The tilt of your head
The sound of your voice
And the things you've siad
For you've so many secrets
So much mystery to everyone else
But you share them with me

You're so much like a kitten
That I hold in my arms
When we laugh and you tease
I'm taken by your charms

You're lovely and charming
And loving and sweet
You captivate everyone you meet
Your laughter's like music
You're always such fun
You're all of my dreams rolled into one

Then there are times when you're moody
Times when you're blue
When the deepest, dark
Black of night is you
Yet, all of these moods
Love, helped you to see and
Understand what's inside of me

You're so soft to my touch
And our love is so new
How can I tell you how much I love you
You're the raindrops that fall
And refresh everything
For when I am with you
It is eternally spring

I love you
I love you
I love you

Quando sono solo
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole

Si lo so che non c'è luce
In una stanza
Quando manca il sole

Se non ci sei
Tu con me

Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso

Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li vivrò

Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole

E io sì lo so
Che sei con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me

Mio sole tu sei qui con me
Con me, con me

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò

Io con te!

Je L'Attends (Dalida)


Je L'attends
((English & German Versions: King Of Clowns (Neil Sedaka); Hello Boy (Dalida))
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Dalida



Je l'attends en pleurant
Mes amis dites-lui que je l'attends
Je comprends maintenant
Dites-lui que je m'ennuie en l'attendant

En rêvant nuit et jour
Revivant les doux instants de notre amour
Des regrets pleins le cœur
Oui j'en ai et c'est pour ça que moi je pleure

Pourra-t-il me pardonner?
Je n'en sais rien
Le mal que je lui ai fait s'il me revient
Quelle folie c'est trop tard
Dans mon cœur il n'est resté que des espoirs

La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends

Je l'attends mais j'ai peur
Je comprends que j'ai du lui briser le cœur
Pourra-t-il oublier
Viendra-t-il un de ces jours je ne le sais

Dites-lui que je l'attends
Qu'il peut venir
Dites-lui que je comprends il doit souffrir
Quelle folie d'esperer
Et je crie dans ma douleur pour l'appeler

La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
Oh La la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends

Rosemary (The Grateful Dead)


Rosemary
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter; Phil Lesh
Performer(s): The Grateful Dead



Boots were of leather
A breath of cologne
Her mirror was a window
She sat quite alone

All around her
the garden grew
scarlet and purple
and crimson and blue

She came and she went
and at last went away
The garden was sealed
when the flowers decayed

On the wall of the garden
a legend did say
No one may come here
since no one may stay

Composer(s): Joe Verges
Performer(s): Dinah Shore

Don't leave me, Daddy
Won't you tell me why you're leavin'
When you're near me, Dearie
Life to me is cheery
Oh, oh, such a feelin'

Think what you're missin'
Lots of huggin' and some kissin'
I don't care how mean you are to me
Daddy don't you leave me now
Sweet Papa, Daddy don't you leave me now

I've been a-thinkin' about you, Daddy
Thinkin' of you night and day
I've been afraid that you'd leave me Daddy
Leave me and go far away

Think of the day when we first met each other
You promised me then we'd be good pals forever
If you leave me, it sure will grieve me
Don't go away to stay

Don't leave me Daddy, Daddy
Won't you tell me why you're leavin'
When you're near me, Dearie
Life to me is cheery
Oh, oh, such a feelin'

Just think what you're missin', Baby
Lots of huggin' and some kissin'
I don't care how mean you are to me
Daddy don't you leave me now
Sweet Papa, Daddy don't you leave me now
Your Momma needs you
Daddy, don't leave me now

Partir Avec Toi


Partir Avec Toi
((Adapted from: Con Te Partirò (Andrea Bocelli) - 1995)) ((English Versions: Time To Say Goodbye (Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli) - 1996; I Will Go With You (Donna Summer) - 1999)) Composer(s): Lucio Quarantotto - Francesco Sartori Performer(s): Jeane Manson & Yvhann Cevic - 1998



Quand la solitude me fait mal
Mes amis me noient de paroles
Ils parlent d'habitude, disent "C'est normal"
Mais que tout ça, un jour, s'envole
Je sais! Oui, je sais! Nous comment, comment?
Sous mes fenêtres
La vie passe mais n'efface, non, rien de nous deux
Tous ces "peut-être"
D'un cœur en feu vers les cieux guident mes pas

Partir avec toi, attends-moi... où que tu sois
Là-haut, si là-haut est l'endroit où le bon Dieu t'envoie
Oui! Partir avec toi, par la force d'aimer, te retrouver
Non, non, rien n'existe sans nous
Et nous, c'est toi, c'est tout

J'ai tout essayé, rien ne console!
Rien vraiment ne retient mes larmes
Je n'ai qu'une idée, une idée folle
C'est vrai! Je veux m'en aller là ou tu es
Ce soir ou demain je te promets, promets, promets, promets

Partir avec toi, attends-moi... où que tu sois
Là-haut, si là-haut est l'endroit où le bon Dieu t'envoie
Oui! Partir avec toi, par la force d'aimer, te retrouver
Non, non, rien n'existe sans nous
Et nous, c'est toi, c'est tout

Oui, partir avec toi, en un dernier sommeil, je te suivrai
Au bout de mes rêves, de ma vie, attends-moi, je te suis

Oui, partir avec toi
Avec toi

Rose, Rose, I Love You


Rose, Rose, I Love You (May Kway O May Kway)
Original Chinese Title: Meigui Meigui Wo Ai Ni
Composer(s): Wilfrid Thomas; Chris Langdon
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart
What is your future?, now we have to part
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay

Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret
"Please make way for Rose" you can hear them say

All my life I shall remember
Oriental music and you in my arms
Perfumed flowers in your tresses
Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes
Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies
I must cross the seas again and never see you more
'way back to my home on a distant shore

(All my life I shall remember)
(Oriental music and you in my arms)
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses)
(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms)

Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say
East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart
I must leave you now but I leave my heart

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart
What is your future?, now we have to part
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay

(Rose, Rose I love you, I cannot stay)

Con Nada Me Pagas


Con Nada Me Pagas
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Con la mitad del caiño
que yo te tengo
podrán hacerte feliz
con la mitad de los besos
que yo te daba
la vida entera podrías vivir

Con que te quieran tantito
nomás tantito
podrás salvar el dolor
de no quedarte en el mundo
con mucha pena
con mucha angustia y pidiendo amor

Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubres la deuda que me está matando

Con la mitad de mi vida
mi media copa, aquí me vengo a tomar
por esos años queridos
cuando en tus brazos
me fui enseñando a sufrir y a amar

Porque a pesar de tus cosas
que nunca sepas
lo que es un cuelo sin sol
ya que a pesar de tu infamia
a Dios le pido, te falte todo
y te sobre amor

Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubres la deuda que me está matando

Rose Tint My World


Rose Tint My World
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
Performer(s): Tim Curry;
and various other artists



Columbia:
It was great when it all began
I was a regular Frankie fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start working on a muscle man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

Rocky Horror:
I'm just seven hours old
Truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world
And keeps me safe from my trouble and pain

Brad:
It's beyond me
Help me, Mommy
I'll be good, you'll see
Take this dream away
What this, let's see
I feel sexy
What's come over me?
Wooh! Here it comes again

Janet:
I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere

Con Mis Propias Manos


Con Mis Propias Manos Composer(s): Antonio Herrera Valdez Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists



Se fue al clarear el alba
por el camino bañada en llanto
y yo que la quiero tanto
lleno de orgullo la vi partir

Así con mis propias manos
cavé la tumba del alma mía
no más por ser tan cobarde
por no decirle que la quería

No más por ser tan cobarde
por no decirle que la quería

Me vi en sus negros ojos
y al despedirse sentí la muerte
Tal vez ya cambió su suerte
la mala suerte que yo le di

Así, con mis propias manos
cavé la tumba del alma mía
no más, por ser tan cobarde
por no decirle que la quería

No más por ser tan cobarde
por no decirle que la quería

Rose Rosse
Composer(s): Enrico Polito; G. Bigazzi
Performer(s): Massimo Ranieri;
Enrico Musiani; Emilio Pericoli; Stefano



Rose rosse per te
ho comprato stasera
e il tuo cuore lo sa
cosa voglio da te

D'amore non si muore
e non mi so spiegare
perche' muoio per te
da quando ti ho lasciato
sarà perché ho sbagliato
ma io vivo di te
e ormai non c'e' piu' strada
che non mi porti indietro
amore sai perché
nel cuore del mio cuore
non ho altro che te

Forse in amore le rose
non si usano più
ma questi fiori sapranno
parlarti di me

Rose rosse per te
ho comprato stasera
e il tuo cuore lo sa
cosa voglio da te

D'amore non si muore
ma chi si sente solo
non sa vivere piu'
con l'ultima speranza
stasera ho comprato
rose rosse per te
la strada dei ricordi
e' sempre la piu' lunga
amore sai perche'
nel cuore del mio cuore
non ho altro che te

Forse in amore le rose
non si usano piu'
ma questi fiori sapranno
parlarti di me

Rose rosse per te
ho comprato stasera
e il tuo cuore lo sa
cosa voglio da te

Thelma Waits For Me In Norway By The Sea


Thelma Waits For Me In Norway By The Sea
Composer(s): Dick B. Brüün



Where the waves dash in spray on the coast
far away In Norway, my home by the sea
A girl, sweet and fair, waits fondly there
Her love is all plighted to me

It has been just a year since my ship left the pier
Cross the water her face still I see
In this new land of home to night I'm alone
Once more I long to be

Where Thelma waits for me, in Norway by the sea
Where the northern lights are beaming, her golden hair is gleaming
Oh, God, keep vigil o'er this girl whom I adore
Who is waiting patiently for me, in Norway by the sea
In Norway by the sea

There's a lure in that land of the north, it is grand
Land of the midnight sun clear
Its great mountain peaks where all nature speaks
A language to me so dear

Tho' there's ice and there's snow
a warm welcoming glow greets you there where-ever you go
And tho' years I may stay in this land far away
Always I'll yearn to be

Where Thelma waits for me, in Norway by the sea
Where the northern lights are beaming, her golden hair is gleaming
Oh, God, keep vigil o'er this girl whom I adore
Who is waiting patiently for me, in Norway by the sea
In Norway by the sea

Con Mi Corazón Te Espero
Composer(s): Humberto Suárez
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists



Tú tan alta yo tan bajo, que alcanzarte a ti no puedo
tú tan rica yo tan pobre, rico solo en sentimientos
Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos
pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero
y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero

Y tú tendrás un altar y un palacio hecho con besos
y reinarás junto a mí porque el mundo será nuestro

Tú eres luz y yo soy sombra que en la noche se fundieron
tú eres mar y yo soy río que se encuentran aunque lejos
Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos
pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero
y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero

Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos
pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero
y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero
porque sé que tú me quieres, porque sé que yo te quiero

Rose Room


Rose Room
Composer(s): Harry Williams; Art Hickman
Performer(s): Harry James;
and various other artists



I want to take you to a little room
A little room where all the roses bloom
I want to lead you into Nature's hall
Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball

They have an orchestra up in the trees
For their musicians are the birds and bees
And they will sing us a song
As we are strolling along

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows

The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For `tis ever then I am pining, pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose

The ball is over and the tulips meet
Their little kisses are so short and sweet
The lilies nod to the forgetmenots
When they're departing in their flower pots

But all the roses with their spirits high
Remain to love until they droop and die
And dear, why shouldn't it be
Just so with you and with me

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows

The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For `tis ever then I am pining, pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose
