There's A Village In A Valley


There's A Village In A Valley
Composer(s): Mitchell Paris - Abner Silver
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye



There's a village in a valley
Down among the sleepy hills
Where we used to stroll along
And hear the song of whip-poor-wills
In that village in the valley
Once we parted in the rain
As we kissed, remember how we made a vow to meet again ?
Soon, my darling, the wedding bells will chime
From the chapel in apple blossom time

There's a village in a valley
There are roses 'round the door
Where the sky is blue above
We'll live and love forever more

Core 'N Grato


Core 'N Grato
Composer(s): Cardillo - Cordiferro
Performer(s): Beniamino Gigli



Catarì, Catarì...
pecchè mm''e ddice sti pparole amare?!
Pecchè mme parle e 'o core mme turmiente Catarì'?!
Nun te scurdà ca t'aggio dato 'o core, Catarì...
Nun te scurdà...
Catarì...
Catarì, che vène a dicere
stu pparlà ca mme dà spàseme?
Tu nun ce pienze a stu dulore mio?!
Tu nun ce pienze, tu nun te ne cure...
Core, core 'ngrato...
T'hê pigliato 'a vita mia!
Tutto è passato...
e nun ce pienze cchiù
Catarì, Catarì...
tu nun 'o ssaje ca fino e 'int'a na chiesa
io sò' trasuto e aggiu pregato a Dio, Catarì...
E ll'aggio ditto pure a 'o cunfessore: "Io stò' a murì
pè chella llà...
Stò a suffrì
stò a suffrì nun se pò credere...
stò a suffrì tutte li strazie..."
E 'o cunfessore, ch'è perzona santa
mm'ha ditto: "Figliu mio làssala stà, làssala stà!..."
Core, core 'ngrato...
T'hê pigliato 'a vita mia!
Tutto è passato...
e nun ce pienze cchiù

Runaway (Del Shannon)


Runaway (French Version: Vanina - 1974) Composer(s): Max Crook - Del Shannon First release by: Del Shannon - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists



As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

There's A Tear In My Beer


There's A Tear In My Beer
Composer(s): Hank Williams
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951/1998



There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonesome mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Last night I walked the floor, and the night before
You were on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through and I'm so goddam blue
You were on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' till I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide
You were on my lonely mind

All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep on drinkin' till I can't even think
'Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Cordoba


Cordoba
Composer(s): Reginald Connelly; Enric Madriguera; Eddie Woods
Performer(s): Dalida



Là-bas, là-bas
À l'horizon lointain s'étend Cordoba
Entourée de jardins couronnée d'oiseaux fleuris de jasmin
Et de jets d'eau

Et je suis là
Pour te prouver qu'à mes premières amours je reviens toujours

Toi je sais bien que tu m'attends
Toi tu n'oublies pas nos vingt ans

Là-bas
Nous monterons les rues usées par les pas
Des amants qui s'aimaient tous à Cordoba

Là-bas
Sous le poids du soleil s'endort Cordoba
Tant d'étranges senteurs de cuir et de miel de poivre et de fleurs
Tandis qu'au ciel

Le jour se meurt
Et que dans l'ombre bleue s'appelle des voix
Se cherchent des cœurs

Toi nous revoici tous les trois
Toi notre amour et Cordoba

Tout bas
Pour me bercer ce soir au creux de tes bras
Chanteront les guitares de Cordoba
Là-bas, là-bas, là-bas

Runaround Sue


Runaround Sue
Composer(s): Ernie Maresca; Dion Dimucci
Performer(s): Dion - 1961



Here's my story, sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
Keep away from Run-around Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't want to cry like I do
Keep away from Run-around Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from Run-around Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from Run-around Sue

There’s A Story (Goin’ Round)


There’s A Story (Goin’ Round)
Composer(s): Don Gibson
Performer(s): Dottie West & Don Gibson



There’s a story going round
I’ve heard it now all over town
The two of us, they say are through
And I’m afraid to ask of you

Is there a reason?
Is there a reason
For all the words they’re saying?
Should I forget
Say it’s just gossip
And let it pass right through my head?
Yes, there’s a story going round
Could it be true?
Should I ask you?
Or just pretend it wasn’t said

Is there a reason?
Is there a reason
For all the words they’re saying?
Should I forget
Say it’s just gossip
And let it pass right through my head?
Yes, there’s a story going round
Could it be true?
Should I ask you?
Or just pretend it wasn’t said

Yes, there’s a story going round...

Cordão


Cordão
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ninguém
Ninguém vai me segurar
Ninguém há de me fechar
As portas do coração
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me sujeitar
A trancar no peito a minha paixão

Eu não
Eu não vou desesperar
Eu não vou renunciar
Fugir
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me acorrentar
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir

Ninguém
Ninguém vai me ver sofrer
Ninguém vai me surpreender
Na noite da solidão
Pois quem
Tiver nada pra perder
Vai formar comigo o imenso cordão

E então
Quero ver o vendaval
Quero ver o carnaval
Sair
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me acorrentar
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Alguém vai ter que me ouvir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder seguir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir

Run, Run, Run
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier;
Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Girls, gather 'round me
And hear the news
He finally kissed me
Oh, happy days
My heart's got to shout it
I'll get my diary
And write about it

Well as your friends
We want to say
He'll break your heart one day
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, but he's such a quiet kind of guy
How he thrills me, my oh my
Maybe it isn't true
What they say about him

Don't be fooled
By the shyness in his eyes
Don't you know
He's just a devil in disguise
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well as your friends
We want to say
He'll make a fool of you one day
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no, no
But how can I run away
When I love him more each day
So with him I'm gonna stay
I'll take my chances along the way

He won my heart from the start
From him I will never, never part
I love him so, love him so
Never let him go
Every time he gets nearer
My love gets dearer, so much dearer
Oh no, no, no

There's A Small Hotel


There's A Small Hotel
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance/First recording/First release by: Doris Carson & Ray Bolger - 1936/Hal Kemp and His Orch. - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



I'd like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh, so gay, Junior
You need a laugh or two

A certain place I know, Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
That's where the two will go, Darling
Before you can count up
One, two, three
For...

There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people -- who wants people?
When the steeple bell says
"Good night, sleep well"
We'll thank the small hotel together

We'll creep into our little shell
And we will thank the small hotel together

Corda De Aço


Corda De Aço
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Aldo Clodo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Não sei a cor do perdão
Nem o peso da pedra do sacrifício
Só sei que quando estou só
Sinto na pele
Que me abrigo
Pode ser o precipício
Não sei quem chora por mim
Quem inocentemente me condena
E olhando a car fria do silêncio
Tudo que faltar a gente inventa

Voz pra cantar
Corda de aço
Corda de aço desfiada
Minha vida
Só é vida porque sei
Que ela será sempre apaixonada

Voz pra cantar
Corda de aço
Corda de aço desfiada
Minha vida
Só é vida porque sei
Que ela vai morrer apaixonada

Run Run Run


Run Run Run
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground



Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down Union Square
you never know who you gonna find there

You gotta run-run-run-run-run
take a drag or two
Run-run-run-run-run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Margarita Passion I had to get her fixed
she wasn't well, she's getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
didn't know things she could buy

And she would run-run-run-run-run
take a drag or two
Run-run-run-run-run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
hard-nailed boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
they didn't know, they couldn't make the scene

She had to run-run-run-run-run
take a drag or two
Run-run-run-run-run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Beardless Harry, what a waste
couldn't even get a small town taste
Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven
figured if he was good, he'd get himself to heaven

'Cause he had to run-run-run-run-run
take a drag or two
Run-run-run-run-run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

There's A Ship Rolling Home


There's A Ship Rolling Home
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Ivy Benson; Vera Lynn



There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic
Just an old rusty steamer of the seven seas
There's a ship rolling home and she's nothing romantic
But she'll sail through the gale as in a gentle breeze!

Ahoy!
Sailor Ahoy!
Oh just look at her smoke
She'll sail you homeward with her heart of oak!
There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic
May the fair winds be with her as she's rollin' home

There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic
May the fair winds be with her as she's rolling, rolling home

Corcovado


Corcovado Composer(s): Antônio Carlos Jobim First release by: João Gilberto - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1962 - Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Tony Bennett) 2007 - Corcovado (French Version) (Diana Panton)



Num cantinho um violão
Este amor uma canção
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado
O Redentor que lindo

Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar da velha chama
E eu que era triste descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é felicidade meu amor

Run To The Hills


Run To The Hills
Composer(s): Steve Harris
Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Mauron Maiden;
Mental Overdrive; Steve Overland



White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack

Run to the hills run for your lives
Run to the hills run for your lives

Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives
(repeat to end)

There's A Ship Comin' In


There's A Ship Comin' In
Composer(s): Van Alexander - Jay Sims
Performer(s): The Bell Sisters



Beyond the blue horizon
There's a ship comin' in
I can see the sails in the sky

Beyond the blue horizon
I see fortune for me
Or is it just a cinder in my eye?

It's a happy, happy dream
I've been keepin' on the shelf
It's a silly little scheme
Just for foolin' myself

Cross the green waters
There's a ship under way
On a voyage that's lasted for years

Across the blue horizon
It is sailing my way
Bringing pearls and diamonds for my tears

it's a glitter, glitter day
That I dreamed about so long
And my gay and gladdy heart
Wants to burst into song

In the red sunset
There's a ship comin' in
As I knew it would from the start

Against the blue horizon
I see sails full of wind
It's the answer to the dream in my heart

Performer(s): Ana Torroja & Miguel Bosé



Hay corazones
plagados de estrellas
enamorando a las noches
más bellas
no me imagino escribiendo
estas cosas sin tí

Hay corazones que
intentan poesía
El mío ni harto de amor te diría
que no concibe belleza
de luna sin tí, ves
hay corazones que van despacio
locos y ciegos buscando
su espacio
hay corazones y corazones
y cada cual latirá sus pasiones

Ey, ey, ey, ey
Ey, ey, ey, ey

Hay corazones
con alas de espinas
te dan deseos, caricias
no me imagino el placer de una
herida sin tí, ves
Me llueven mares de corazones
cambiando el rumbo
de mis emociones
un horizonte y un para siempre
mi corazón que con el tuyo
se pierde

Quiero, más que nada
sé que quiero
más allá te quiero y siento
siento que me hace boom boom
mi corazón boom boom
quiero tanto quiero y quise tanto
y tanto fue que no se cuanto
siento que me hace boom boom
mi corazón boom boom
boom boom

Ey, ey, ey, ey
Ey, ey, ey, ey

Hay corazones que tiran a darte
y sólo el tuyo que
es punto y aparte
no me imagino una vida, una
historia sin tí, ves
Me llueven mares de corazones
cambiando el rumbo
de mis emociones
un horizonte y un para siempre
mi corazón que con el
tuyo se pierde

Ey, ey, ey, ey
Ey, ey, ey, ey
Quiero, más que nada
sé que quiero
más allá te quiero y siento
siento que me hace boom boom
mi corazón boom boom
quiero tanto quiero y quise tanto
y tanto fue que no se cuanto
siento que me hace boom boom
mi corazón boom boom
boom boom

Hay corazones que van despacio
locos y ciegos buscando
su espacio
hay corazones y corazones
y cada cual latirá sus pasiones

Me llueven mares de corazones
cambiando el rumbo
de mis emociones
un horizonte y un para siempre
mi corazón que con el tuyo
se pierde

Hay corazones que van despacio
locos y ciegos buscando
su espacio
hay corazones y corazones
y cada cual latirá sus pasiones

Me llueven mares de corazones
cambiando el rumbo
de mis emociones
un horizonte y un para siempre
mi corazón que con el tuyo

Run To My Lovin' Arms
Italian Title: Devi Pensare A Me
Composer(s): George Fischoff; Tony Powers
Performer(s): Billy Fury;
Jay & The Americans; Lenny Welch



When your pretty eyes are filled with tears
And the sounds of this cruel world
Are ringing in your ears
Darling, when the night surrounds you
And there’s darkness all around you
Baby, baby, don’t you worry
I’ll be there, and you can

Run to my loving arms
They’ll keep you warm and hold you tight
If you just run to my loving arms
They’ll take you in and make things right

When you’re feeling like you wanna cry
And there’s no one who’s got time
To sit and wonder why
When you need someone to hear you
To say a word or just be near you
Baby baby, I will always be close by
And you can

Run to my loving arms
They’ll keep you warm and hold you tight
If you just run to my loving arms
They’ll take you in and make things right

Run to my loving arms
Run to my loving arms
Run to my loving arms

There's A River


There's A River Composer(s): Will Jennings - Steve Winwood Performer(s): Steve Winwood; Peter Green



There's a river pouring From a pure and a crystal stream And it carries my heart along Carries me all my life And I know it will bring me home There's a choir singing With a force that can light the sky I will join with a voice deep inside Anthems for joys gone by And for joys I am sure will come Golden treasure in the evening sky It's good to be alive Golden measure, hear the music cry When my heart sings Of golden things There's a dove ascending Like my thoughts in the summer sky And she carries my soul along Clear to eternity And I know I am not alone

Corazón Viajero


Corazón Viajero
Composer(s): Ramón Arcusa - M. Calva - L. Pablo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo; Grupo Alacran de Durango



Yo que todo te entregue, sin pedir nada a cambio
hoy me dejas de querer, y te olvidas de mi
Como nube que se va, navegando en el cielo
cada vez te alejas más, lentamente de mi
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
que no has hecho otra cosa, que hacerme sufrir
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
a pesar de tu engaño que seas feliz
Si en la vida alguna vez, tú me echas en falta
te aseguro que estaré, esperándote aquí
Con el tiempo curaré, el dolor que me dejas
aunque nunca lograré, olvidarme de ti
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
que no has hecho otra cosa, que hacerme sufrir
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
a pesar de tu engaño que seas feliz
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
que no has hecho otra cosa, que hacerme sufrir
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
a pesar de tu engaño que seas feliz
Corazón, corazón, corazón viajero
que no has hecho otra cosa, que hacerme sufrir
