Todo Y Nada


Todo Y Nada
Composer(s): Vicente Garrido
Performer(s): Luis Miguel
and multiple other artists



Todo lo que tengo en la vida
mi ternura escondida, mi ilusión de vivir
todo te lo diera contento
porque tu pensamiento no apartaras de mí

Pero como no me has querido
y lo que te he ofrecido
no te puede importar
Muera la esperanza que adoro
pues teniéndolo todo
nada te puedo dar

Pero como no me has querido
y lo que te he ofrecido
no te puede importar
Muera la esperanza que adoro
pues teniéndolo todo
nada te puedo dar

I Fall To Pieces


I Fall To Pieces
Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Hank Cochran
First release by: Patsy Cline - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget (to forget)
Pretend we never met (never met)
And I've tried and I've tried
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too (love me too)
The way you used to do (used to do)
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

J'Étais Fait Pour Les Sympathies


J'Étais Fait Pour Les Sympathies
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Jean-Claude Brialy



Ça y est
Mal au coeur déjà
Je suis foutu quoi, le coup de foudre peut être
Ah ridicule!
Oh non j'avais pas besoin de ça!
Pourquoi moi?
J'étais fait pour les sympathies
L'amour en bagnole, les mensonges teintés d'ennui
les jeux de cartes biseautées, antipathie et sympathie
J'étais fait pour ça
J'étais fait pour les sympathies
À la rigueur des tas d'amis
J'étais fait pour ça
Non pas pour l'amour

J'étais fait pour les cinq à six
À la rigueur les cinq à sept
J'étais fait pour ça
Non pas pour toujours

Mais pourquoi faut-il être deux mon Dieu
À trois c'est déjà difficile
Si l'on pouvait se mettre à six ou sept
Tout serait alors si simple, tellement plus naturel

J'étais fait pour être à plusieurs
À la rigueur pour être seul
J'étais fait pour ça
Pas pour être à deux

Maintenant c'est fini tout ça
Va falloir compter avec elle
Un jeu dangereux
Une autre paire de manches
Non je me connais je suis sûr que je suis pas adapté
Je suis pas prêt à tous les extrêmes et ça risque de me mener vachement loin
Capable de tout
De toutes les conneries
Et d'abord savoir qui elle est et pas trop réfléchir
C'est mauvais
Allez on verra bien!

I Fall In Love Too Easily


I Fall In Love Too Easily
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
First performance/First recording: Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett - 1945/1954
Covered by multiple other artists



There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been burned in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

Jet Song


Jet Song
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): The Jets;
and various other artists



Smooth Boppy Piano
Snapping Fingers

Riff: This turf is small but it's all we got, huh?
I wanna hold it like we always held it, with skin!
But if they say blades, I say blades
But if they say guns, I say guns
I say I want the Jets to be the number one!
To sail!
To hold the sky!

Baby John: Rev us up!
Gee-Tar: Voom-va-voom!
Big Deal: Cha-chung!
Action: Wacko-jacko!
A-Rab: Digga-digga-dig-dum!

Riff: Now, protocality calls for a war council
between us and the Sharks to set the whole thing up
So I will personally give the bad news to Bernardo
Against the Sharks, we need every man we got
We need a lieutenant for the war council

Action: That's me
Riff: That's Tony
Action: Who needs Tony?
Riff: We need Tony!
He has a reputation bigger than the whole west side
Action: Tony don't belong no more
Riff: Cut it
Action: Tony and I started the Jets
Action: What about the day we clobbered the Emeralds?
Big Deal: Which we couldn't have done without Tony
Baby John: He saved my ever-loving neck!
Riff: Yeah, Tony has come through for us and he always will

Riff: When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
From your frst cigarette to your last dyin' day
When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can
You got brothers around, you're a family man!
You're never alone, you're never disconnected!
You're home with your own when company's expected, you're well protected!
Then you are set with a capital J
Which you'll never forget till they cart you away
When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet!

Riff: I know Tony like I know me and I guarantee you can count him in
Action: In, out, let's get crackin'
A-Rab: Where you gonna find Bernardo?
Riff: He'll be at the dance at the gym tonight
A-Rab: Yeah, but the gym's neutral territory
Riff(innocently): A-Rab, I'm gonna make nice with him!
I'm only gonna challenge him
A-Rab: Great, Daddy-o!
Riff: So everybody dress up sweet and sharp and meet
Tony and me at the dance at ten
And walk tall!
A-Rab: We always walk tall!
Baby John: We're Jets!
Action: The greatest!

Drums

Snowboy: When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in
town, you're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown!
Diesel: When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king!

Jets: The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin'
The Sharks'll steer clear 'cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!
Here come the Jets like a bat out of hell
Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well
Here come the Jets little world, step aside!
Better go undeground, better run, better hide
We're drawin' the line, so keep your noses hidden!
We're hangin' a sign, says "Visitors Forbidden" and we ain't kiddin'!
Here come the Jets, yeah!
An' we're gonna beat ev'ry last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street!
On the whole buggin' ever lovin' street!

Gee-Tar: Yeah!

Todo Se Derrumbo Dentro De Mi
Performer(s): Emmanuel



Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia Tu eras principio y fin, de mi alegria Yo te creia fiel como la luna Que acude a protegernos cada dia Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia Tu eras mi perro fiel Yo era tu guia Hasta que desperte de mi locura Y pude comprender que me mentias Coro Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi De humo fue tu amor y de papel y de papel Mira mis sueos como se queman Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti Yo era feliz contigo vida mia Tu eras mi perro fiel, yo era tu guia Hasta que desperte de mi locura Y pude comprender, que me mentias Coro Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi De humo fue tu amor, y de papel y de papel Mira mis sueos como se queman Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel me sabe a hiel

I Enjoy Being A Girl


I Enjoy Being A Girl
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl
I float as the clouds on air do
I enjoy being a girl
When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth but pearl
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl

I flip when a fella sends me flowers
I drool over dresses made of lace
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face

I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me

Performer(s): The New York Dolls;
Blondie; The Fall; Sharks; Johnny Thunders



Who's gone fly up in th' sky
Faster than any boy could ever describe
Who's got that love so deep
And everything alive

(I said)
Jet Boys fly
Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

This's the kinda place where no one cares
What you're livin' for
And Jet Boy's so preoccupied
He don't care 'bout before

(That's why)
Jet Boys fly
Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

My baby....

Jet Boys fly
Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

We was all endangered charms
Swear we're havin' fun
And Jet Boy knows all we done
That's why he's the one

(That's why)
Jet Boys fly
Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby

My pretty baby
My pretty pretty baby
My pretty baby

When I first came around this dump
I knew I couldn't stay
Cus up above the world are Jet Boys
That's why I gotta play

(Dontcha know that)
Jet Boys fly
Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby

Jet Boys fly
And ya know he's gone
I said he been gone
Gone, gone gone

And he been flyin'
And he been flyin'
He been flyin'
He been flyin'

Baby up all night
Baby New York City
Baby so so high
Baby so so high

(Dontch know that)
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby
Like he was my baby

Like he was my my my my baby
My my my my baby
My my my my
My baby
My baby, my baby
M-m-m-m-m-my baby

Todo Por Sentir


Todo Por Sentir
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Y qué puedo decir
sino reiterar una vez más
que yo no estoy aquí
porque nunca he pretendido estar
sin o ser
sin que ser tenga el sentido
de entender
lo que no sabe el latido

Y qué puedo decir
que no sea un nuevo modo
de volver a decir
que queda todo, todo
todo por sentir

Nada puedo añadir
a los pleitos entre el bien y el mal
solamente insistir
en la paradoja que hay detrás
de creer
que son dos cosas opuestas
y no ver
que ambas se dan la respuesta

Y qué puedo decir
que no sea un nuevo modo
de volver a decir
que queda todo, todo
todo por sentir

I Drove All Night


I Drove All Night
Composer(s): Tom Kelly; Billy Steinberg
First recording/First release by: Roy Orbison - 1988/1989
Covered by multiple other artists



I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah

No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?

I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Jet Airliner


Jet Airliner
Composer(s): Paul Pena
Performer(s): Steve Miller Band; Paul Pena;
Sawtooth Bluegrass Band; The Wynners



Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's there that I belong

Todo O Sentimento


Todo O Sentimento
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Cristóvão Bastos
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



Preciso não dormir
Até se consumar
O tempo
Da gente
Preciso conduzir
Um tempo de te amar
Te mando devagar
E urgentemente
Pretendo descobrir
No último momento
Um tempo que refaz o que desfez
Que recolhe todo o entimento
E bota no corpo uma outra vez

Prometo te querer
Até o amor cair
Doente
Doente
Prefiro então partir
A tempo de poder
A gente se desvencilhar da gente
Depois de te perder
Te encontro, com certeza
Talvez num tempo da delicadeza
Onde não diremos nada
Nada aconteceu
Apenas seguirei, como encantado
Ao lado teu

I Drink


I Drink
French & Italian Titles: Je Bois; Io Bevo
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



I drink to drive away all the years I have hated
The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive
I drink day after day to the chaos behind me
Yes, I drink to remind me that still I'm alive

So I give you a toast to the endless confusions
To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life
Yes, I give you a toast to the wine and the roses
To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife

I drink to catch a gleam of the love we degraded
Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon
I drink, as in a dream, to my waning desire
To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon

I drink and I drown in the promise you made me
All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite
When you took on the town, when you looked for the action
When you took satisfaction, like a whore in the night

I drink to make-believe that my life is worth living
That the gods are forgiving at the end of the day
I drink because I grieve for the dreams when we started
For the innocent-hearted who got lost on the way

For the children unborn, for their dead, phantom faces
For our sterile embraces in the tomb of your bed
I drink, and I mourn for the harvest that failed
For the ship that has sailed, for the hope that is dead

I drink to find a place where the darkness can hide me
Till the terror inside me can at last disappear
I drink to my disgrace, till oblivion claims me
Till there's nothing that shames me, till I'm blind to my fear

Yes, I drink till I burst in my own degradation
To the edge of damnation that is waiting below
Yes, I drink with a thirst that destroys and depraves me
And cuffs and enslaves me, and will never let go

I drink until I'm lost, and the street is my hideout
Where I vomit my pride out till I'm gasping for breath
I drink to count the cost of a life I despair for
Until God hears my prayer for the compassion of death

So I spit out my bile at the gods who demean us
At the silence between us, at the love none can save
For a life that is vile, for a soul that is ailing
For a body that's failing as it heads for the grave

I drink without a care? drink because I must?
drink to my despair? I drink to your disgust?
I drink, drink, drink? by God, I drink!
Yes, I drink!

Todo Está Bien


Todo Está Bien
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Zas



Todo está bien
así nos lo hemos creído
Uno puede pasear al perro
por la vereda soleada
Uno puede creer
que la libertad es un picnic
También se puede tener placer
en ver T.V. un sábado a la noche

Más de vos
más de mí
más de los que están allí

Uno puede encontrarse una lata en la calle
meter y sacar la mano sin temor a cortarse
Si uno y uno son dos
por qué lo ignora Dios

Todo está bien
después de todo, todo está bien
Todo está bien

Quisiera saber quién reparte el pan y el vino
qué enseñanza le podré dar a mi hijo
el hilo que aún me sostiene
se está a punto de romper

Uno puede pensar
que el mundo se arma para defenderse
pero de quién?
Uno puede amar la naturaleza
pero comer un buen churrasco cerca del río
Uno puede estar tan loco
como para mirarse en el espejo
y amarse de una vez por todas

Polución, frustración
congestión, represión
Qué suerte que te encuentro dormida
y que la música aún nos una

Todo está bien
después de todo, todo está bien
Todo está bien
A quién le importa ya si el mal o el bien existen
con tanta gente sola y que resiste
Si ellos lo dicen, todo está bien

Todo está bien
después de todo, todo está bien
Todo está bien
después de todo, todo está bien

I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls


I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls
Composer(s): Michael Balfe; Alfred Bunn; Michael McGlynn
Performer(s): Larry Clinton
and multiple other artists



I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls
With servant and slaves by my side
And of all who assembled within those great walls
That I was the hope and the pride
I had rubies to play with and money to count
My name was renowned with fame
But I also dreamt, which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me, you loved me still the same

I had rubies to play with and money to count
My name was renowned with fame
But I also dreamt, which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me, you loved me still the same

Jésus Christ


Jésus Christ
Composer(s): Philippe Labro; Eddie Vartan
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



S'il existe encore aujourd'hui
Il doit vivre aux Etats-Unis
Il doit jouer de la guitare
Et coucher sur les bancs des gares
Il doit fumer de la marijane
Avec un regard bleu qui plane

Jésus, Jésus-Christ
Jésus-Christ est un hippie

Poncho mexicain sur le dos
Autour de son front, un bandeau
Il est barbu et chevelu
Il s'est battu à Chicago
Il aime les filles aux seins nus
Il est né à San Francisco

Jésus, Jésus-Christ
Jésus-Christ est un hippie

Dans les parcs et le long des docks
Il vit dans un sac de couchage
On n'arrête pas de l'arrêter
Pour délit de vagabondage
Au grand festival de Woodstock
C'est lui qui soignait les blessés

Jésus, Jésus-Christ
Jésus-Christ est un hippie

Son père s'appelait Jo, je crois
Sa mère s'appelait Mary, je crois
Il a trente-trois ans, je crois
Le FBI lui court après, je crois
Et s'ils arrivent à le coincer
Ils mettront notre ami en croix

Jésus, Jésus-Christ
Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Jésus-Christ est un hippie

Money and sex
Toni puso una ficha
en la máquina de placer
Bueno aquí estoy
Pide lo que quieras te lo doy
Solo tienes que elegir tu fantasía
de repente escucharás una melodía
y tu cuerpo flotará sin dolor

Sexo por dinero no
sexo por dinero

Money and sex
Te quedan tres minutos
en el juego esta vez
Toni admítelo
no hay nada más cercano al amor
Ya no podrás dominar tu emoción
deja que te invada mi sensación
olvida tu chica y entrégate

Sexo por dinero no
sexo por dinero

y si me amas compra otra ficha más
y si me amas compra otra ficha más
y si me amas...

Solo tienes que elegir tu fantasía
de repente escucharás una melodía
y tu cuerpo flotará sin dolor

Sexo por dinero no
sexo por dinero

I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven


I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven
Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Hal Sothern
Performer(s): Tex Ritter



(Wah, wah, wah, waaahhhh)
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
{Oh what a beautiful sight}

Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
And you know who greeted me at the gate?
The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers
He said to me, he said "Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to kinda show you around
Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole compadres"
My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
{Oh what a beautiful sight}

He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls
Then he said, "Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know you'll want to see, they're waitin' for you"
There they were standin' side by side and smilin' at me -- Hank Williams and Johnny Horton

I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
{Oh what a star-studded night}

Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred years?
He handed me a large book covered with star dust
Will called it the Big Tally Book
In it were many names and each name was branded in pure gold
I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff
Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter (Whaaaatttt???) Tex Ritter?
Oh, well, that's when I woke up, and I'm sorry I did, because

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
{Oh what a beautiful sight}
