Música mediterránea en Panamá
El boom de la música mediterránea en Panamá lo inició el grupo Alabina, conformado por los niños de Sara (un grupo de flamenco español) y una cantante egipcia, Ishtar

En el 2000, “alguien” puso en una radioemisora local canciones del grupo Alabina, que tenían letras en español y árabe, y desde entonces el interés por la música y bailes mediterráneos creció entre los panameños, según cuenta el dj. Jorge Gavri Gavrilidis, de Radio 10.

Esta emisora es el único medio que tiene un programa, Noches Mediterráneas, de una hora dedicado por completo a este tipo de música. Su conductor, dj. Gavri, pone música hebrea, turca, árabe, griega y flamenca de lunes a viernes a las 6:00 p.m.

Gavrilidis cuenta que después de Alabina, se empezó a escuchar Tarkan con Simarik, y posteriormente Ojos así, de Shakira.

Dj. Gavri, un panameño de 19 años e hijo de un griego y una salvadoreña, aclara que en su programa pone canciones no comerciales. “En otras emisoras hay espacios de 9-12 minutos, pero ponen música comercial como Shakira, Estopa o Tarkan. Nosotros ponemos cosas que no son tan populares, mandamos a pedir CD de Nueva York, Chicago y Grecia. Frecuento emisoras de Israel, España, Grecia y hago intercambios con djs profesionales de Grecia, España, Israel, Jordania, Turquía, ya que es difícil conseguir esta música en Panamá”.

Noches Mediterráneas, que ya tiene ya cinco meses al aire, comenzó enfocado hacia la música griega, pero a petición del público ampliaron sus horizontes a ritmos del resto del Medio Oriente y partes de Europa.

“La gente cada día me pide más música en otros idiomas. Se saben las letras, los artistas, e incluso cómo pronunciar los nombres de las canciones”, dijo Gavrilidis.

A continuación el dj. Gavri detalla quiénes son los artistas pegados en lo que se refiere a “música mediterránea”:

Música griega

• Antique: es una pareja de jóvenes suecos radicados en Grecia. Cantan en inglés y en griego música con una tendencia electrónica que en los últimos dos años ha sido “la influencia juvenil musical” en Grecia. Además han sido muy bien aceptados en Europa. Representaron a Grecia en Eurovisión del 2001, donde ocuparon el tercer lugar.

• Arvanitaki: es una cantante griega de trayectoria. Tiene una canción tan conocido que es como un símbolo patrio en Grecia. Se llama Dinata, dinata (Fuerte, fuerte). Canta ritmos griegos con influencias de otros países árabes.

• Giorgos Akaios: uno de los mejores intérpretes de Grecia. Canta música tradicional de su país con ritmos acelerados, pero sin irse a lo electrónico.

• Anna Vissi: una de las mejores exponentes griegas. Representó a su patria en el Eurovisión de 1982.

• Kaiti Garbi: una de las más hermosas cantantes de Grecia. Ha sido muy reconocida por su variedad de ritmos, ya que no se ha centrado en un solo género.

Música hebrea

• Eyal Golan: es el cantante más popular de la música hebrea. Ha venido a Panamá a dar conciertos para la comunidad hebrea.

• Shlomo Artzi: se inició en los años 60 y con el transcurrir del tiempo se convirtió en el cantante con más ventas registradas. Se inclina por lo tradicional, como si fuera el típico de Israel.

• Sarit Hadad: es una guapísima intérprete hebrea que haconquistado Europa con su trabajo. Es la representante de Israel en Eurovisión 2002, con la canción Lets light a candle together.

Música turca

• Tarkan: este hombre revolucionó al mundo entero con su canción Simarik (conocida como “Kiss, kiss”). Esta pieza ha sido interpretada en griego, árabe e inglés.

• Ebru Gundes: es una de las grandes representantes de Turquía en la música tradicional.

Música árabe

• Amr Diab: de Egipto. Es el más popular de los cantantes árabes. Ha dado conciertos en Australia, Europa, Canadá y Estados Unidos.

•Diana Haddad: una voz joven y fresca en la música árabe.

•Fairuz: conocida como “la diva libanesa”, es una de las cantautoras más gustadas y más solicitadas en Panamá. Ha dado conciertos en Canadá y Estados Unidos con gran aceptación.

Música flamenca y otras

Los representantes de este tipo de música son los Gipsy Kings, Estopa, y un grupo de mujeres españolas llamado Papa Levante, quienes cantan canciones románticas y con mucho mensaje.

Hay muchas canciones que son fusiones de piezas en griego y en español a la vez, griego y árabe, griego y turco, o traducciones (a más de un idioma) de canciones populares como Ojos así, de Shakira y Simarik, de Tarkan.

¿Dónde bailar esta música?

Dj Gavri informa que hay lugares en Panamá que ponen 6-7 minutos de música mediterránea como La Cantina, Café Dalí, y Liquid, pero ponen solo las canciones comerciales de grupos como Estopa, Shakira, Tarkan, Alabina, etc. Su sueño es tener un local solo dedicado a la mediterránea.

El baile del vientre o belly dance

También hay un auge del baile del vientre o el belly dance. “Egipto, creo, es la cuna del belly dance. He visto belly dance en Grecia, y en Marruecos se baila bastante, todo depende del país árabe que visites”, indicó el locutor.

Se pueden ver shows de belly dance en Café Dulivan y en el restaurante Casablanca. En este último baila Karina Fernández, quien también es profesora de este tipo de baile en la Academia D’ Eric.

Hace dos meses Fernández empezó a dar las clases a mujeres entre los 20 y 70 años de edad y se llenó tanto que tuvieron que crear otra clase, y aun así tiene una lista de espera de 30 damas.

Hay tres niveles, uno por mes. Las dos clases actuales van por el segundo nivel. “No es difícil. Es cuestión de mucha práctica y concentración. Hay que tener mucha coordinación para mover la cabeza, el tronco, las caderas y las manos al mismo tiempo y separadamente”, explicó la instructora.

Una estudiante opina que la danza del vientre es “más de músculos, más de forma, más de figura y la hace sentir a una más sexy”.

Además, señala la instructora, la danza árabe es la única que admite todo tipo de edades y de cuerpos.

Light My Fire - THE DOORS



You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

Me ha sido dado
un momento desde el cielo
mientras estoy caminando
rodeada por la noche,
Las estrellas en lo alto
formulan un deseo bajo la luz de la luna.
De regreso a casa
Recuerdo
sólo los días buenos.
De regreso a casa
Recuerdo todos los mejores días.
Voy de regreso a casa
Puedo recordar
cada nuevo día.

Me muevo en silencio
con cada paso que doy,
la nieve cae a mi alrededor
como ángeles volando,
Muy a lo lejos
es mi deseo bajo la luz de la luna.

que así sea

Que una estrella del atardecer
Brille sobre ti
Que cuando cae la oscuridad
Tu corazón sea sincero
Recorres un camino solitario
¡Oh! Qué lejos estás del hogar

Mornie utúlië (llega la oscuridad)
Cree y encontrarás tu camino
Mornie alantië (cae la oscuridad)
Una promesa vive ahora dentro de ti

Que la llamada de las sombras
Vuele lejos
Que tu viaje siga
Para iluminar el día
Cuando la noche venza
Puedes salir para encontrar el sol

Mornie utúlië (llega la oscuridad)
Cree y encontrarás tu camino

Mornie alantië (cae la oscuridad)
Una promesa vive ahora dentro de ti

Una promesa vive ahora dentro de ti

Hero






There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

When You Believe






Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe

"Imagínate"

John Lennon



Imagina que no hay paraíso,

Es fácil si lo intentas,

No hay infierno debajo nuestro,

Sobre nosotros, sólo el cielo.

Imagina a toda la gente

Viviendo el hoy…



Imagina que no hay países,

No es difícil de hacer,

Nada por lo que matar o morir,

Ni tampoco religión,

Imagina a toda la gente,

Viviendo la vida en paz…



Imagina que no hay posesiones,

Me pregunto si puedes hacerlo,

Sin codicia o hambre,

Una hermandad de hombres,

Imagínate a toda la gente

Compartiendo todo el mundo…



Puedes decir que soy un soñador,

Pero no soy el único,

Espero que algún día te unas a nosotros

Y el mundo será uno.

Chiquitita
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down

And your love's a blown out candle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

There is no way you can deny it

I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

DANCING QUEEN
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

FERNANDO
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

GIMME GIMME GIMME
Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I HAVE A DREAM
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

(repeat)

LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

(repeat 2x and fade)

MAMMA MIA
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

I've been angry and sad about the things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we part

Innuendo
Queen
1991
Innuendo (Queen)

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

I'm Going Slightly Mad (Queen)

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Oh dear!
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear, I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad - oh dear!
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it!

Headlong (Queen)

And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping no there's nothin'
You can do about it
There's nothin' you can do
No there's nothin' you can do about it
No there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can
Nothin' you can do about it
And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping no there's nothin'
You can do about it
He used to be a man with a stick in his hand
Hoop diddy diddy - Hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
Hoop diddy diddy - Hoop diddy do
Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're gettin' in a fight
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this cheap `B' movie
Headlong down the highway and you're rushing
Headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin'
And there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can
Nothin' you can do about it
When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy - Hoop diddy do
Soon the fire starts a raging gets 'em more than half crazy
They start freaking everyway you turn
You can't start walking cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Cause reason's out the window
Better hold on tight - you're rushin'... etc.

I Can't Live With You (Queen)

I can't live with you
But I can't live without you -
I can't let you stay
But I can't live if you go away
I don't know just how it goes
All I know is I can't live with you
I'm having a hard time
I'm walking a fine line
Between hope and despair
You may think that I don't care -
But I travelled a long road to
Get a hold of my sorrow
I tried to catch a dream
But nothing's what it seems
Love is saying baby it's all right
When deep inside you're really petrified
Lover turns to hater
On this escalator
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you
I can't breathe - if you stay
But I can't bear you to go away
I don't know what time it is
All I know is I can't live with you
We're stuck in a bad polace
We're trapped in a rat race
And we can't escape
Maybe there's been some mistake
We're trying to make a high score
We're walking through a closed door
And nobody's winning -
We're just sinning against ourselves
Hold on baby tell me it's all right
Anger's breaking from the hurt inside
Passions screaming hotter
Doin' what we gotta do - yeah
I can't live with you, I can't live with you
I can't live, I can't live
I can't, I can't live with you
But baby I'll never ever leave you
I can't live with you
But I can't live without you -
Cause I'm in love with you
And everything about you
I can't live with you
No I just can't live, I just can't live,
I can't live with you,
And I can't live without you
Through the madness, through the tears
We've still got each other
For a million years

Don't Try So Hard (Queen)

If you're searching out for something -
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing -
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave them for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble -
It won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble -
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Don't try so hard
Oooh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard
One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try
To stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
Is this the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard

Ride The Wild Wind (Queen)

Check out of this rat race -
Ride the wild wind
Ride the wild wind
Gonna ride the whirlwind -
It ain't dangerous - enough for me
Tie your hair back baby -

Sometimes I get so low - I just have to ride
Let me take your hand
Let me be your guide
Ride the wild wind

Ride the wild wind
(Live life on the razors edge)
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous - enough for me

These Are The Days Of Our Lives (Queen)

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show.
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true -
When I look and I find I still love you.
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go - with the flow
Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change
Those were the days of our lives yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you,
I still love you.

Delilah (Queen)

Delilah, Delilah, oh my, oh my, oh my - you're irresistible

You get away with murder, so innocent
But when you throw a moody you're all claws and you bite -
That's alright!
Delilah, Delilah, oh my, oh my, oh my - you're unpredictable
You make me so very happy
When you cuddle up and go to sleep beside me
And then you make me slightly mad
When you pee all over my Chippendale Suite
Delilah, Delilah,
Hey - Hey - Hey,
You take over my house and home
You even try to answer my telephone
Delilah, you're the apple of my eyes
Meeow, Meeow, Meeow,

To spend the rest of our lives with each other
The rest of our days like two lovers

My bijou...

The Show Must Go On (Queen)

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...

Action This Day (Taylor)

Action
This street honey is a mean street
Living in thsi street honey needsa a mean
streak
We've got criminals living in this street
But there's a heartbeet pulse that keeps on

Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, this world is using me
This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a showdown
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keep in pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in a shutter
Or a sight of a light at
The end of a tunnel
Still there's a feeling, this world is using me
Action this day

We've gotta learn to learn to live to love
You can't say it ain't right

Your mind honey is a bleak place
Living in your mind's living in a bleak place
Your mind is coming from a rat racce
But there's a heartbeet pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling that just won't quit, this
world is using me

Put Out The Fire (May)

They called him a hero
In the land of the free
But he wouldn't shake my hand boy
He disappointed me
So I got my handgun
And I blew him away
That critter was a bad guy
I had to make him pay
You might fear for my reason
I don't care what they say
Look out baby it's the season
For the mad masquerade
Put out the fire
You need a bullet like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Don't believe what your grandaddy said
She was my lover
It was a shame that she died
But the constitution's right on my side
Cos I caught my lover in my neighbour's bed
I got retribution, filled 'em full of lead
I've been told it's the fashion
To let me on the streets again
It's nothing but a crime of passion
And I'm not to blame
Put out the fir
And let yor sons and your daughters
Sleep sound in their beds
You know a gun never killed nobody
You can ask anyone
People get shot by people
People with guns
Put out the fire
You ned a gun like a hole in the head
Out out the fire
Just tell me that old fashioned gun law!!!!!! is dead

Life Is Real (Song For Lennon) (Mercury)

Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on ny terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past live is real
Life is real, life is real, so real
Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream is just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel - life is real
Life is real, life is real, oh yeah
Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it
I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breastfeeding myself
What more can I say
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it, I can taste it
Life is real, life is real, life is real
Music will be my mistres
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real
Life is cruel
Life is a bitch
Life is real - so real

Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love) (May)

Don't touch me now
Don't hold me now
Don't break the spell darling, now you are near
Look in my eyes
And speak to me
The special promises I want to hear
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Love me slow and gently
One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through the never ending cold
And all for fear, and all for greed
Speak any tongue but for God's sake we need
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Let me know, this night and evermore
This room is bare
This night is cold
We're apart and I'm growing old
But while we live, we'll meet again
So then my love we may whisper once more
It's you I adore
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore
For evermore

Cool Cat (Deacon and Mercury)

You're taking all the sunshine away
Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that
Cos you're a cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cruising - driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart
You're a cool cat
Coming on strong with all the chit-chat
You're alright
Hanging out and stealing all the limelight
Messing with the beat of my heart
Messing with the beat of my heart
You used to be a mean kid
Making such a deal of life
You were wishing and hoping wand waiting to
really hit the big time
But did it happen, happen, no
You're speeding too fast
Slow down Slow down
You'd better slow down
Slow down
You really know how to set the mood
And you really get inside the groove
Cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cuising
Driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart - yeah yeah
Feeling the beat of my heart

Under Pressure (Queen and David Bowie)

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

One Year Of Love (Deacon)

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
My heart cries out to your heart,
I'm lonely but you can save me,
My hand reaches out for your hand,
I'm cold but you light the fire in me,
My lips search for your lips,
I'm hungry for your touch,
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much,
Oooh yes it hurtsm
And pain is so close to pleasure,
And all I can do is surrender to your love,
Just surrender to your love,

Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (Mercury/Deacon)

Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, oh yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Ooh, Ooh, pain is so close to pleasure everbody knows,
One day we love each other then we're fighting one another all the time,
When I was young and just getting started,
And people talked to me they sounded broken hearted,
Then I grew up and got my imagination
And all I wanted was to start a new releation,
So in love but love had a bad reaction,
I was looking for good old satisfaction,
But pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and affection,
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Pain and pleasure, Ooh, Ooh, pain and pleasure,
When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light,
But inside your mind you have to put up a fight,
Where are the answers that we're all searching for,
There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore,
But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad,
Let the sweetness on love wipe the tears from your facem
Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure, I told you so,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,
Pain is so close to pleasure, yeah, yeah,
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life,

Who Wants To Live Forever (May)

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever.....?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who dares to love forever,
When love must die.

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever,
And we can love forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today,
Who waits forever anyway?

Don't lose your head.

ABRIENDO PUERTAS
Como después de la noche brilla una nueva mañana... ...así también en tu llanto hay una luz de esperanza... ...Como después de la lluvia llega de nuevo la calma... ...el año nuevo te espera con alegrías en el alma... ...Y vamos abriendo puertas, y vamos cerrando heridas. Porque en el año que llega vamos a vivir la vida... ...Pasito a paso en la senda vamos a hallar la salida... ...Como al salir de la tierra vuelve a cantar la cigarra... ...así es el canto que llevan las notas de mi guitarra... ...Como a través de la selva se van abriendo caminos... ...así también en la vida se va labrando el destino... ...Que en la vida hay tanto por hacer deja tu llanto y echa pa'lante con fe... ...Yo te lo digo de corazón que el año nuevo será mucho mejor... ...No existen barreras para tí si te propones serás feliz, muy feliz... ...Que el fracaso es puro invento, ya no me vengas con ese cuento, no, no...

MI TIERRA
De mi tierra bella, de mi tierra santa oigo ese grito de los tambores y los timbales acumpancha´os. Y ese pregón que canta un hermano que de su tierra vive lejano y que el recuerdo le hace llorar. Una canción que vive entonando de su dolor, de su propio llanto, y se le escucha penar. La tierra te duele, la tierra te da en medio del alma cuando tú no estás... ...te empuja de raíz y cal...suspira si no te ve mas... ...donde naciste no la puedes olvidar porque tienes tus raíces y no te deja sangrar... ...Siguen los pregones, la melancolía, y cada noche junto a la Luna sigue el guajiro entonando el son, y cada calle que va a mi pueblo, tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento, tiene nostalgia como su voz esa canción que sigue entonando corre la sangre y sigue llegando con más fuerza al corazón... Tiene un quejido...Tiene un lamento...Nunca la olvido... ...La llevo en mis sentimientos, sí señor...Oigo ese grito... ...y te recuerdo...Corre en mi sangre... ...la llevo por dentro ¡cómo no!...Canto de mi tierra bella y santa...sufro ese dolor que hay en su alma... ...Aunque esté lejos yo la siento...y un día regreso yo no sé... ...Siguen los pregones...la melancolía ...y cada calle quema mi pueblo... ...me llega con fuerza al corazón...

TRES DESEOS
Qué lindos los arreboles cuando el sol se va poniendo. Qué buenos son los amores cuando se llevan por dentro. Ay, sí, corazón, ya se van los sinsabores ya llegan los buenos tiempos... ...ya se alejan los dolores y se alegra el sentimiento. Que ya prendió la fiesta, que ya se apagó el hastío. Que ya el corazón se alegra porque tengo el amor mío... ...Que ya viene el año nuevo, la fiesta ya está caliente. Concédeme tres deseos, estrellita del Oriente... ...Que el campo ya está floreciendo y el trigo ya está maduro. Y la flor del año nuevo ya está abriendo su capullo... ...Que los sueños se vuelvan realidad...un futuro de prosperidad... ...que florezca un mundo mejor...que haya paz en el corazón... Ir al inicio

BACHATA ROSA
Te regalo una rosa, la encontré en el camino, no sé si está desnuda o tiene un solo vestido, no, no lo sé. Si la riega el verano o se embriaga de olvido, si alguna vez fue amada, o tiene amor escondido. ¡Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor! Eres la rosa que me da calor, eres el sueño de mi soledad, un letargo de azul, un eclipse de mar. Pero...yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol, un universo de agua mineral, un espacio de luz que sólo llenas tú... ...mis manos, mis párpados caídos, el beso más profundo, el que se ahoga en un gemido... ...un otoño, un día entre abril y junio, un rayo de ilusiones, un corazón al desnudo...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OJALÁ QUE LLUEVA CAFÉ
Ojalá que llueva café en el campo, que caiga un aguacero de yuca y té, del cielo una jarina de queso blanco y al sur una montaña de berro y miel... ...Peinar una alto cerro ´e trigo y mapuey, bajar por la colina de arroz graneado y continua´ el arado con tu querer. Ojalá el otoño en vez de hojas secas vista mi cosecha ´e pitisalé, Sembra´ una llanura de batata y fresas... Pa´ que en el Conoco no se sufra tanto... ...Pa´ que en los montones oigan este canto...ay hombre... ...Sembrar un alto cerro e' trigo y mapuey... ...Pa´ que to´los niños canten en el campo... ...Pa´ que en las Romanas...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LA BILIRRUBINA
Oye, me dio una fiebre el otro día por causa de tu amor cristiana, que fui a parar a enfermería sin yo tener seguro ´e cama, y me inyectaron suero de colores, y me sacaron la radiografía, y me diagnosticaron mal de amores al ver mi corazón como latía. Oye y me plaquearon hasta el alma con rayos X y cirugía. Y es que la ciencia no funciona, sólo tus besos vida mía. ¡Ay, negra, mira! búscate un catéter, inyéctame tu amor como insulina y dame vitamina de cariño que me ha subido la bilirrubina. Me sube la bilirrubina...cuando te miro y no me miras... ...Y no lo quita la aspirina, no, ni un suero con penicilina, es un amor que contamina...Vestido tengo el rostro de amarillo...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESTRELLITAS Y DUENDES
Viviré en tu recuerdo como un simple aguacero de estrellitas y duendes. Vagaré por tu vientre mordiendo cada ilusión. Vivirás en mis sueños como tinta indeleble, como mancha de acero. No se olvida el idioma cuando dos hacen amor. Me tosté en tus mejillas como el sol en la tarde, se desgarra mi cuerpo y no vivo un segundo para decirte que sin tí muero. Me quedé en tus pupilas, mi bien, ya no cierro los ojos, me tiré a lo más hondo y me ahogo en los mares de tu partida... ...Andaré sin saberlo, calzaré de tu cuerpo como huellas en hierro, comeré lo que sobre dentro de tu corazón. Y seré un mar desierto, una frase silente, la elegida de un beso, un planeta de celos esculpiendo una canción...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EL COSTO DE LA VIDA
El costo ´e la vida sube otra vez, el peso que baja ya ni se ve, y las habichuelas no se pueden comer, ni una libra de arroz, ni una cuarta ´e café. A nadie le importa que piensa usted, será porque aquí no hablamos inglés. ¡Ah, ah! E´ verdad...Do you understand? (do you...?) Si la gasolina... ...y la democracia no puede crecer si la corrupción juega ajedrez... ...no hablamos francés. ¡Ah, ah! Vous parlez...? ...Non, monsieur. Somos un agujero en medio del mar y el cielo quinientos años después. Una raza encendida: negra, blanca y caína, pero, ¿quién descubrió a quién? Um e´ verdad... ¡Ay, el costo ´e la vida! Eh, eh, ya ve, pa´rriba tu ve´. Y el peso que baja. Eh, eh, ya ve, pobre´ ni se ve´. Y la medicina. Eh, eh, ya ve, camina al revés. Aquí no se cura. Eh, eh, ya ve, ni un callo en el pie. ¡Ay, qui, qui, qui! Eh, eh, ya ve, ¡ay, qui, quié! Y ahora el desempleo. Eh, eh, ya ve, me mordió también. A nadie le importa. Eh, eh, ya ve, pue´ no hablamo´ inglés Ni a la "Misubichi", ni a la "Chevrole´". La corrupción pa´rriba. Eh, eh, ya ve, pa´rriba tú ve´... ...Y la delincuencia. Eh, eh, ya ve, me pilló esta vez... ...Eh, eh, mama eh... ...La recesión pa´rriba. Eh, eh, ya ve, pa´rriba tu ve´...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BURBUJAS DE AMOR
Tengo un corazón mutilado de esperanza y de razón... ...que madruga donde quiera. Ese corazón se desnuda de impaciencia ante tu voz, pobre corazón que no atrapa su cordura. Quisiera ser un pez para tocar mi nariz en tu pecera y hacer burbujas de amor por donde quiera, pasar la noche en vela, mojado en tí. Un pez para bordar de corales tu cintura y hacer siluetas de amor bajo la luna, saciar esta locura... ...Canta corazón con un ancla imprescindible de ilusión. Sueña corazón, no te nubles de amargura... ...Una noche para hundirnos hasta el fin, cara a cara, beso a beso, y vivir, por siempre, mojado en tí...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VIVIRÉ
Linda como una flor de amapola, como una trenza de olas del mar, así eres tú, mi reina, y te voy a amar. Debo de hacerte en el pecho un nido para que aprietes mi corazón, ya reservé la noche para tu amor, para estrujarnos los dos cuerpo a cuerpo de robarme un beso, para preñarte de luz como un rayo de sol. Ay viviré...cada segundo pegadito a ella, como medallita al cuello, con el corazón en fiesta...enamorado de ella, como bolero en la noche que se esconde en las estrellas. Agua que cae por la madrugada, arrópanos al amanecer, moja la pausa y vuelve a no ser. Nos sentaremos sobre la hierba, preguntarás y preguntaré, y llegará otra noche que reservé...

The Memory of Trees
Enya

1~ the memory of trees 4.18

(Instrumental & Voices)

2~ anywhere is 3.58

I walk the maze of moments

but everywhere I turn to

begins a new beginning

but never finds a finish

I walk to the horizon

and there I find another

it all seems so surprising

and then I find that I know



You go there you’re gone forever

I go there I’ll lose my way

if we stay here we’re not together

Anywhere is



The moon upon the ocean

is swept around in motion

but without ever knowing

the reason for its flowing

in motion on the ocean

the moon still keeps on moving

the waves still keep on waving

and I still keep on going



You go there you’re gone forever

I go there I’ll lose my way

if we stay here we’re not together

Anywhere is



I wonder if the stars sign

the life that is to be mine

and would they let their light shine

enough for me to follow

I look up to the heavens

but night has clouded over

no spark of constellation

no Vela no Orion



The shells upon the warm sands

have taken from their own lands

the echo of their story

but all I hear are low sounds

as pillow words are weaving

and willow waves are leaving

but should I be believing

that I am only dreaming



You go there you’re gone forever

I go there I’ll lose my way

if we stay here we’re not together

Anywhere is



To leave the thread of all time

and let it make a dark line

in hopes that I can still find

the way back to the moment

I took the turn to turned to

begin a new beginning

still looking for the answer

I cannot find the finish

it’s either this or that way

it’s one way or the other

it should be one direction

it could be on reflection

the turn I have just taken

the turn that I was making

I might be just beginning

I might be near the end.

(Instrumental)

6~ china roses 4.47

Who can tell me if we have heaven,

who can say the way it should be;

Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,

Angel’s tears below a tree.



You talk of the break of morning

as you view the new aurora,

Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven

One love carved in acajou.



One told me of China Roses,

One a Thousand nights and one night,

Earth’s last picture, the end of evening;

hue of indigo and blue.



A new moon leads me to

woods of dreams and I follow.

A new world waits for me;

my dream, my way.



I know that if I have heaven

there is nothing to desire.

Rain and river, a world of wonder

may be paradise to me.



I see the sun..

I see the stars..

7~ hope has a place 4.44

One look at love

and you may see

it weaves a web

over mystery,

all ravelled threads

can rend apart

for hope has a place in the lover’s heart.

Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.



Whispering world,

A sigh of sighs,

The ebb and the flow

of the coean tides,

One breath, one word

may end or may start

a hope in a place of the lover’s heart.

Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.



Look to love

you may dream,

and if it should leave

then give it wings.

But if such a love

is meant to be;

Hope is home, and the heart is free.



Under the heavens

we journey far,

on roads of life

we’re the wanderers,

So let love rise,

So let love depart,

Let hope have a place in the lover’s heart.

Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.



Look to love

and you may dream,

and if it should leave

then give it wings.

But if such a love

is meant to be;

Hope is home, and the heart is free.



Hope is home, and the heart is free.

8~ tea-house moon 2.41

(Instrumental)

9~ once you had gold 3.16

Once you had gold,

Once you had silver,

Then came the rains

out of the blue.

Ever and always.

Always and ever.

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.



Now you can see

Spring becomes autumn,

leaves become gold

falling from view.

Ever and always.

Always and ever.

No-one can promise a dream come true,

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.



What is the dark;

shadows around you,

why not take heart

in the new day?

Ever and always.

Always and ever.

No-one can promise a dream come true,

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.

10~ la soñadora 3.35

Yo: el otoño

Yo; el vespero

He sido un eco



Seré una ola

Seré la luna

He sido todo, soy yo



Yo; el verano

Yo; el ebano

Soy la soñadora

11~ on my way home 5.08

I have been given

one moment from heaven

as I am walking

surrounded by night,

Stars high above me

make a wish under moonlight.



On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember all the best days.

I’m on my way home

I can remember

every new day.



I move in silence

with each step taken,

snow falling round me

like angels in flight,

Far in the distance

is my wish under moonlight.



On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember all the best days.

I’m on my way home

I can remember

every new day.



On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember all the best days.

I’m on my way home

I can remember

every new day.



On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember all the best days.

I’m on my way home

I can remember

every new day.



On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember

only good days.

I SAW HER STANDING THERE

And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Chorus:
Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)

A TASTE OF HONEY

(Scott/Marlow) Lead vocals: Paul McCartney (double-tracked)

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I dream of your first kiss, and then,
I feel upon my lips again,
A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back for the honey and you.

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart,
There lingers still, 'though we're far apart,
That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.

THERE'S A PLACE

(McCartney/Lennon) Lead vocals: Paul & John

There is a place,
Where I can go,
When I feel low,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time when I'm alone.

I think of you,
And things you do,
Go 'round my head,
The things you said,
Like "I love only you."

In my mind there's no sorrow,
Don't you know that it's so.
There'll be no sad tomorrow,
Don't you know that it's so.

There is a place,
Where I can go,
When I feel low,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time when I'm alone.

There's a place...

So Far So Good
Bryan Adams
SUMMER OF '69
I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
I could start dreamin' but it'd never end
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart

You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Comin' straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall outta line
While we're dreamin'
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart

IT'S ONLY LOVE
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry - It's only love

When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - It's only love
And that's all - yeah

When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy - but it's only love

And your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love

You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again

When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - It's only love

And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love
Ya - that's all

Ya it ain't easy baby
But it's only love - and that's all

CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED
You might stop a hurricane
Might even stop the drivin' rain
You might have a dozen other guys
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way

Can't stop this thing we started
Ya gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the broken hearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!

You might stop the world spinnin' 'round
Might even walk on holy ground
I ain't superman and I can't fly
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way

Can't stop this thing we started
Ya gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the broken hearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!

Oh - why take it slow
I gotta know
Nothin' can stop - this thing that we got

DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS?
Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darlin' rescue me

With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darlin' rescue me
When this world's closin' in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - darlin' rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standin' in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you - how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please - darlin' rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see - darlin' rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standin' in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you - how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

THIS TIME
I think about her all the time
She's my fantasy
An image burnin' in my mind
Callin' out to me

While my imagination's runnin' wild
Yeah - things are getting clearer

This time everything is all right
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I'm gonna make her mine

I've thought of every word I'd say
Give or take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away
What am I supposed to do

Hey - turn up your radio
Oh - there's somethin' I want you to know

This time everything is all right
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I'm gonna make her mine

Well it's hard to take cause she's miles away
And I've waited a long time
But the feelin's right and darlin' one of these nights
Yeah - I'm gonna let you know

This time everything is all right
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I'm gonna make her mine

RUN TO YOU
She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I

Oh - but her love is cold
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, cause...

When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round

I know her love is true
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you

I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch

I'm gonna run to you
Ya - I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night

I'm gonna run to you
Ya - I'm gonna run to you
Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

HEAVEN
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've bin waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
Drivin' home this evenin'
Coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin' way beyond a shadow of a doubt

Then I heard it on the street
I heard ya might of found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he and tell me what he means to you

I took it for granted - but how was I to know
That you'd be lettin' go
Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right

There's times I've bin mistaken
There's times I've thought I've bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin' - can't you see we did the best we could

This wouldn't be the first time - that things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right

(EVERYTHING I DO) I DO IT FOR YOU
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

SOMEBODY
I bin lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain

Now who can you turn to
When it's all #FFFFFF 'n' white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody

When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall
Doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for

I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
We all need somebody

Another night another lesson learned
It's the distance that keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all again - all again

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody

KIDS WANNA ROCK
Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldn't find no rock n' roll

This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

London to LA
Talk about the New Wave
For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut
And waste your life away

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

Get me my DJ
I got somethin' he's gotta play
Wanna hear it I can't wait
So turn it up - turn it up...

Kick down the barricades
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay

I've seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

HEAT OF THE NIGHT
I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin' light
Cause you're livin' alone - in the heat of the night

Met a man with a message from the other side
Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind
He said it's up to you
You can run or you can fight (Ya that's right)
Better leave it alone - in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around
There'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down
In the heat of the night
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don't look back don't ever turn around)

Had to pay the piper to call the tune
Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon
Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right
When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night

PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
Still holdin' on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met - same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger - wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on...
So if you're feelin' lonely don't - you're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Please believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch - still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough
Still holdin' on - still number one
I remember the smell of your skin - I remember everything
I remember all your moves - I remember you yeah
I remember the nights - ya know I still do
So if you're feelin' lonely don't - you're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Oh believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you

One thing I'm sure of - is the way we make love
And one thing I depend on - is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Babe believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - if I can't stop lovin' you
Never leave me - I don't know what I'd do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Can't stop lovin' you

"EAT THE RICH"

4:34

Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
Then I hope this does the trick

'Cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of your bitchin'
'Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest, uh huh

So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you'd best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst your bubble
On rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get get no trouble
When you eats that kind of food
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' at the yacht club
With Muff and Uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls aside
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest, uh huh

Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
>From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Grey Poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass!

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby

"FEVER"

4:14

I got a rip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a Margarita nose and breath full of Mad Dog Booze

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

They, they threw me outta jail I tell ya it ain't fair
I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica' chair
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight...

The guitar's cranked and the bass man's blown a fuse
And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what's your excuse?

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Fever gives you lust with an appetite
It hits you like the fangs form a rattlesnake bite
We're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight

We can't run away from trouble
There ain't no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed of light
There's the back seat of my car, caviar

I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feelin' low down even slow
Seems way too fast
And now the booze don't work
'Cause the drugs ran out of gas

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

The buzz that you be gettin' from the
Crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the
Crack of her ass
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not
All there tonight

My first time ever lover
We fall asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone
Makin' love to the Crack of Dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir,
The gangster of love rides again

Fever You know I gotta chill
Fever It gimme such a thrill
Fever Like a burnin' plague
Fever Yeah get outta my way

Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care
You look so good, babe, you look so fine
I tell you you're the image of the perfect crime
You get so tired holdin' on so tight
If you think you're goin' crazy
Well you may be right

Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not
All there that's right

"LIVIN' ON THE EDGE"

6:07

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin' dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man that I

We're livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

There's something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on

Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' On the Edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'

"FLESH"

5:56

The day rolls in, the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate
And when you come it won't be late
I guess by now you got the score
A little taste you want it more
>From San Antone to Marrakesh
Yeah when the night comes
Everybody gotta have FLESH
You got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat
>From the day that Eve did Adam
Down to Romeo and Juliet
Everybody gotta have...

The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story's told
>From modern times to days of old
>From Boston, Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody gotta have FLESH

It's got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah
>From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet
Everybody gotta have...

FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat
FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing, the only thing, the only thing
>From a Sufi in a rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have...flesh

3:38

You wonder why you get holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out
You gotta...

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's one thing to do and that's
Yeah, huh

Well she says that she loves ya
In your mind there's no doubt, but
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake
You think this ain't no gift
Don't try to figure that weight's too heavy to lift
You gotta...

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
'Cause I got no time to lose
It's my life if I choose
Put on my walkin' shoes

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's

Walk on down

"SHUT UP AND DANCE"

4:56

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

Love has got me down
A tear just hit the ground
So I started writing you this song
But the words I wrote came out all wrong
Yeah, but it's all right

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

When you can't define the crime
Then life ain't worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

When you work your fingers to the bone
Now what does that get you - nothing
In a crowd of people
You're still alone
You hope that tells you something

The road to heaven is paved in hell
And it makes you wonder
Why we're here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!

Sex it like a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run
When you're splittin' hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like gettin' head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun

Talk it cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

"CRYIN'"

5:08

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love it sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me

'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you

"GOTTA LOVE IT"

5:58

Shocking

Psychedelic sandwich

Any way you can feel it
You shouldn't try to conceal it, baby
You got to make up your mind

Any way I can steal it
Any way you can deal it to me
You know the pleasure's all mine

You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round'n,
'round'n, 'round'n, 'round, that's right

I wanna say you're a firecracker
I wanna say you're a switchblade knife
You make your sex a career

Comin' down from an all night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
'Cause you can't get there from here

You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round...

I got this feeling deep inside my gut
Overwhelming feeling of I know not what
One thing's for sure I ain't got time those who can't relate

You gotta learn to love the midnight madness
You gotta revel in the good and badness
If yin 'n yang is your thing

What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature
So let's go throw the I Ching

You gotta love it
You wanna own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
You gotta make things happen
Goin' 'round'n, 'round'n, 'round

"CRAZY"

5:17

Come 'ere baby
You know you drive me up a wall the way you make good for all the nasty tricks

Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
And it always seems you got somn' on your mind other than me

"AMAZING"

5:56

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of a livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I
Would die

It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't liten to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street,
Just a tryin' to survive

LA OREJA DE VAN GOGH - EL VIAJE DE COPPERPOT

1. CUIDATE
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Detrás del tiempo me instalé.
Ya ves, ni me quejo ni me quejaré.
Mi ser, mis recuerdos y alguna canción
son hoy mi premio de consolación.

Y tú, ¿qué has hecho para olvidar?
¿Qué fue de aquella chica del bar?
Lo sé, prohibido preguntar...
... muy bien, seré sincera.

Cubrí mis ojos con mis manos
y luego imaginé
que estabas ahí de pié disimulando
por mí.

Cierra la puerta, ven y siéntate cerca,
que tus ojos me cuentan que te han visto llorar.
Llena dos copas de recuerdos de historias
que tus manos aún tiemblan si me escuchan hablar.

Sin ti, nunca podré escuchar
a La Buena Vida más.
Volver a reírme de aquel final
en el que el bueno acaba mal.

Sin ti ya no regresaré
al lugar donde te conocí.
Lo sé, prohibido recordar...
... muy bien, seré sincera.

Cubrí mis ojos con mis manos
y luego imaginé
que estabas ahí de pié disimulando
por mí

Cierra la puerta, ven y siéntate cerca,
que tus ojos me cuentan que te han visto
llorar. Llena dos copas de recuerdos de
historias que tus manos aún tiemblan
si me escuchan hablar.

Tú cuídate,aquí yo estaré bien.
Olvídame, yo te recordaré.

Cierra la puerta, ven y siéntate cerca,
que tus ojos me cuentan que te han visto
llorar. Llena dos copas de recuerdos e
historias que tus manos aún tiemblan
si me escuchan hablar.

2. SOLEDAD
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Tanto tiempo juntos y ahora te tienes que ir.
Éramos muy niños cuando te conocí.
Te veo jugar y en silencio hablar.
Como me gustaba tu carita al bostezar.

En nuestro rincón sigue aquel sillón
donde me leías para dormir.
Siempre estabas junto a mí,
en mi mente revolviendo todo
y esperando verme sonreír.

Oh Soledad, dime si algún día habrá
entre tú y el amor buena amistad.
Vuelve conmigo a dibujar las olas del mar,
dame tu mano una vez más.

Escapamos de todo y me invitabas a pensar
Me ayudabas con tus juegos a pintar la realidad
Siempre fuiste fiel transparente fe
Los mayores dicen que de ti me enamoré.

En nuestro rincón sigue aquel sillón
donde me leías para dormir.
Siempre estabas junto a mí,
en mi mente revolviendo todo
y esperando verme sonreír.

Oh Soledad, dime si algún día habrá
entre tú y el amor buena amistad.
Vuelve conmigo a dibujar las olas del mar,
dame tu mano una vez más.

Oh Soledad, dime si algún día habrá
entre tú y el amor buena amistad.
Vuelve conmigo a dibujar las olas del mar,
dame tu mano una vez más.
Uh shalala uh shalala.

3. PARIS
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Ven, acércate.
Ven y abrázame.
Vuelve a sonreír, a recordar París,
a ser mi angustia.
Déjame pasar una tarde más.

Dime dónde has ido,
donde esperas en silencio, amigo.
Quiero estar contigo y regalarte mi cariño,
darte un beso y ver tus ojos
disfrutando con los míos hasta siempre,
adiós mi corazón.

Ven, te quiero hablar.
Vuelve a caminar.
Vamos a jugar al juego en el que yo era tu princesa.
Ven, hazlo por mí.
Vuelve siempre a mí.

Dime dónde has ido,
donde esperas en silencio, amigo.
Quiero estar contigo y regalarte mi cariño,
darte un beso y ver tus ojos
disfrutando con los míos hasta siempre,
adiós mi corazón.

No hay un lugar que me haga olvidar
El tiempo que pasé andando por tus calles junto a ti
Ven quiero saber
Porque te fuiste sin mí
Siempre tuve algo que contarte.

Dime dónde has ido,
donde esperas en silencio, amigo.
Quiero estar contigo y regalarte mi cariño,
darte un beso y ver tus ojos
disfrutando con los míos hasta siempre,
adiós mi corazón.

No hay nada que me haga olvidar
el tiempo que has pasado ya y no volverá
no hay nada más
adiós mi corazón.

4. LA PLAYA
(Xabier San Martin)

No sé si aún me recuerdas,
nos conocimos al tiempo
tú, el mar y el cielo
y quién me trajo a ti.

Abrazaste mis abrazos
vigilando aquel momento,
aunque fuera el primero,
lo guardara para mí.

Si pudiera volver a nacer
te vería cada día amanecer
sonriendo como cada vez,
como aquella vez.

Te voy a escribir la canción más bonita del mundo,
voy a capturar nuestra historia en tan solo un segundo.
Y un día verás que este loco de poco se olvida,
por mucho que pasen los años de largo en su vida.

El día de la despedida
de esta playa de mi vida
te hice una promesa:
volverte a ver así.

Más de cincuenta veranos
hace hoy que no nos vemos
ni tú, ni el mar ni el cielo
ni quien me trajo a ti.

Si pudiera volver a nacer
te vería cada día amanecer
sonriendo como cada vez,
como aquella vez.

Te voy a escribir la canción más bonita del mundo,
voy a capturar nuestra historia en tan solo un segundo.
Y un día verás que este loco de poco se olvida,
por mucho que pasen los años de largo en su vida.

5. POP
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Tienes talento y cultura,
manos bonitas y estudias francés,
cantas, actúas y pintas,
escribes poemas, todo lo haces bien.
Has nacido artista lo sé
se te nota en la cara
tienes mucho poder.
Firma aquí abajo y verás
como cambia tu vida,
es muy fácil ganar.

Eres la reina del pop,
una diva sin nombre un montón de ilusión.

Eres facturas y alcohol,
una foto borrosa,
una flor sin olor.

Piensa en qué vas a gastar
todo ese dinero que vas a ganar.
No sabes cuanto te admiro,
te aplaudo te miro y te escucho también.
Nunca olvides quién te ayudó,
quién estuvo contigo, quién te enseñó.

No dejes que nadie al pasar
te mire a los ojos tú debes mandar.

Eres la reina del pop,
una diva sin nombre un montón de ilusión.

Eres facturas y alcohol,
una foto borrosa,
una flor sin olor.
Eres la reina del pop,
una diva sin nombre un montón de ilusión.

Eres facturas y alcohol,
una foto borrosa,
una flor sin olor.

6. DICEN QUE DICEN
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin)

Caer está permitido, levantarse es una obligación. Detrás del número cero la luz ya se nos apagó. Más allá del uno de Enero y con la vista puesta atrás te verás en un espejo con tu futuro detrás.

Y ahora mismo están durmiendo en su cajón cada beso, cada flor cada canción.

Dicen que dicen que anuncian que existe un peculiar vegetal que hace que te rías de la bruja avería como la cebolla hace llorar.

Bajo la luz adecuada todo es mejor.
Lo que hace bello al desierto es que guarda agua en su interior. Piensa en lo lejos que estaba la luna y lo imposible de llegar allí.

Y ahora con una simple escalera cualquiera puede ir a dormir.

Y ahora mismo están durmiendo en su cajón cada beso, cada flor, cada canción. No hagas ruido si despiertan es peor desordenan la razón.

Dicen que dicen que anuncian que existe un peculiar vegetal que hace que te rías con de bruja avería como la cebolla hace llorar.

Dicen que dicen que anuncian que existe un peculiar vegetal que hace que te rías de la bruja avería como la cebolla hace llorar.

and now for something completely different
7. MARIPOSA
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin)

Cada fallo,
cada imprecisión,
cada detalle,
todo bajo control.

Cada acierto,
cada aproximación,
cada escena,
bajo supervisión.

La casualidad se puso el disfraz de una
mariposa que al vuelo se entregó soltando
su efecto nos acarició.

No imaginas cómo sería yo si hubiera

esperado un segundo más el amor.

Ni mis gestos ni mi propia voz, ni mis besos

serían hoy de los dos.

La casualidad se puso el disfraz de una

mariposa que al vuelo se entregó soltando

su efecto nos acarició.

La casualidad se puso el disfraz de una

mariposa que al vuelo se entregó soltando

su efecto nos acarició.

Si quieres venir conmigo a buscar la fórmula

exacta de la realidad intenta escribir a los

demás, procura que nadie nos oiga marchar.

Cada pregunta de cada respuesta de cada

persona de cada planeta de cada reflejo de cada

cometa de cada deseo de cada estrella

8. LA CHICA DEL GORRO AZUL
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Del melocotón se inventó una historia el sol
para darle a tus mejillas su color.
Fue la juventud la que con su gorro azul
te llevaba en bicicleta por el monte Urgull.

Quién te dio el lunar
que hizo retirarse al mar
y que es la luz de la ventana
abierta a la verdad.

Hoy te vuelvo a ver
tu sigues siendo el recuerdo aquel que una vez
bailó conmigo un rato y se fue.

De un sauce llorón
una almendra se calló
y llora triste porque aun no ha caído su amor.

Hoy te vuelvo a ver
tu sigues siendo el recuerdo aquel que una vez
bailó conmigo un rato y se fue.

9. TU PELO
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin)

No ha salido el sol,
miro en el reloj,
son las siete y no puedo dormir.
Cojo tu jersey azul,
me gusta que huela a ti,
siento que me abraza como tú.

No has despertado aún, apago la suave luz
que ilumina mi trocito de colchón.

Entro en la habitación,
oigo tu respiración
y los latidos de tu corazón.

Vas despertando ya,
buscas en mi mitad
y me encuentras esperando en un rincón.

No puedes imaginar cuanto te quiero,
ahora los relojes pararán.

Tú, acercándote a mi pelo.
Tú y tu mirada otra vez.
Quiero que no exista el tiempo,
detener este momento,
una vida es poco para mí.

Siento miedo al pensar
que esta complicidad
algún día vaya a terminar.
Miedo a no volver a ver
tus ojos desvistiéndome
como lo hacen cada anochecer.

Abrázame otra vez,
vamos a prometer,
algo que nunca vayamos a romper.

No puedes imaginar cuanto te quiero,
ahora los relojes pararán.

Tú, acercándote a mi pelo.
Tú y tu mirada otra vez.
Quiero que no exista el tiempo,
detener este momento,
una vida es poco para mí.

No puedes imaginar cuanto te quiero,
ahora los relojes pararán.

Tú, acercándote a mi pelo.
Tú y tu mirada otra vez.
Quiero que no exista el tiempo,
detener este momento,
una vida es poco para mí.

10. TANTAS COSAS QUE CONTAR
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Siento que hoy no puedo más,
te busco y sólo encuentro mar,
necesito verte y hablar.
Sé que estás lejos de aquí
sonriendo sin reir
escribiendo algo para mí.
Una noche fui a buscar
en tus brazos el lugar
que hace años no supe encontrar.
Te he escuchado caminar
te siento pero tú no estas
mírate y mira ahora hacia atrás.
Has venido a despertar
mi alegría y felicidad,
tengo tantas cosas que contar.
Ven, vuélvete a dormir,
vuelve a descubrir todo aquello junto a mí.

Que de dudas te serví,
que de cosas me perdí,
que de veces me has hecho reír.
Cuánto tiempo sin llorar,
sin sentir, sin escuchar,
sin tener algo de que hablar.
Tú sentado frente a mí
miro y sólo veo en ti
todo lo que queda por vivir.
Vi en tus ojos sin querer
tantas ganas de querer
que sólo quiero verlos otra vez.
Has venido a despertar
mi alegría y felicidad,
tengo tantas cosas que contar. Ven, vuélvete

a dormir,
vuelve a descubrir todo aquello junto a mí.
Has venido a despertar
mi alegría y felicidad,
tengo tantas cosas que contar.
Ven, vuélvete a dormir,
vuelve a descubrir todo aquello junto a mí.

11. LOS AMANTES DEL CIRCULO POLAR
(Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas)

Siento que el viejo cuento aquel
no tenga el final que imaginé
siento no poder hoy escribir
esta triste canción y dártela a ti.

Y ahí estás, la costumbre te ha hecho así
no fui capaz en mi misma yo me perdí.

Siento haber sido tu diablo azul
tu enemigo fiel ahora tabú
siento en mí ultrasonidos
de algo que olvidé viendo llover.

Y ahí estás la costumbre te ha hecho así
no fui capaz en mi misma yo me perdí.

12. DESDE EL PUERTO
Amaia Montero/Xabier San Martin/Pablo Benegas/
Haritz Garde/Alvaro Fuentes)

Desde el puerto he visto amanecer
con tu ausencia sentada junto a mí.
Me ha invitado a no dejar atrás
el capricho de verte sonreír.

Y cada minuto
espera su turno,
se escapa, se pierde,
se une al mar.

Sobre el agua se dibuja una historia ya dormida,
en silencio escucho el verso de tu despedida.

Es tu ausencia mi amiga en soledad,
me ha contado que el sol sale por ti.
Tiemblo, descanso, ahora escucho su voz.
Me miro en sus ojos, me llevan a dormir.

Y cada minuto
espera su turno,
se escapa, se pierde,
se une al mar.

Sobre el agua se dibuja una historia ya dormida,
en silencio escucho el verso de tu despedida.

Quisiera tenerte aquí un segundo,
decirte que el mundo no tiene luz.

Sobre el agua se dibuja una historia ya

dormida,en silencio escucho el verso de tu

despedida.

Unchained Melody - RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Stand by Me - BEN E KING



When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

(Chorus)
So darling, darling,
stand by me,
oh, stand by me
oh, stand,
stand by me
stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
should tumble and fall
or the mountains should crumble in the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

(Chorus)
