PIANO MAN, BILLY JOEL



It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
the regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He say, Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
Da da da de de da
da da de de da da da
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says Bill, I believe this is killing me
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for awhile.
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Da da da de de da
da da de de da da da
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright.

OYE COMO VA, CELIA CRUZ



Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.
Oye como va, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.

Si tú no sabes bailar,
si estás peleado con el son,
sígueme marcando el paso,
que te aseguro que es de lo más sabrosón.

Voy pa’ la rumba, la rumba, la rumba,
porque me llama, me llama, me llama.
Y necesito que suene el coro,
para que se ponga a vacilar;
Y te digo:

“Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.
Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.”

Esto se pone caliente,
esto se baila apretado;
cuatro pasitos pa’l frente
y un meneíto de lao.

Porque la rumba, la rumba, la rumba,
tiene la clave, la clave, la clave.
Y hay que meterle candela al jarro;
para que suene así como va,
Te lo repito:

“Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.
Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.”

Oye como ya, oye como ya...

Ya llega el negro Vicente,
y el bodeguero de al lado.
Que venga toda mi gente, mi gente,
para que goce el tumbao.

Porque la rumba, la rumba, la rumba,
tiene la clave, la clave, la clave.
Y hay que meterle candela al jarro;
para que suene así como va, suavesito:

Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.
Oye como ya, mi ritmo
bueno pa’ goza’, mulata.

SEVEN DAYS IN SUNNY JUNE, JAMIROQUAI



The pebbles you've arranged
In the sand, they're strange
They speak to me like constellations
As we lie here
There's a magic I can hold
Your smile of honey gold
And that you never seem to be in short supply of

[Chorus:]
Oooh, so baby let's get it on
Drinking wine and killing time
Sitting in the summer sun
You know I've wanted you so long
Why do you have to
Drop that bomb on me?

Lazy days, crazy dolls
You said we've been friends too long
Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the summer dress you wore in spring
The way we laughed as one
And then you dropped the bomb
That I've known you too long
For us to have a thing

[Chorus x2]

Could it be this?
The stories in your eyes
The silent wings
You'll fly away on

Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the sunbeam dress you wore in spring
Yeah, yeah, the way we laughed as one
Why did you drop the bomb on me?

[Chorus]

Could it be this?
The honeysuckle blessings you seem to show me
Could it be this?
For seven days in June I wasn't lonely
Could it be this?
You never gave me time to say I love you
Could it be this?
I know you don't believe me but it's so true

Don't walk away from me, girl
I read the sories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the sories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the sories in your eyes
Don't you walk away
I read the sories in your eyes

And you've been telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
Telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
You tell me we've been friends for too long, yeah
I think I love you
I think I love you
Why do you want to drop that bomb?

Kashmir, Led Zepellin



Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
and stars fill my dream
i'm a traveller of both time and space
to be where i have been
to sit with elders of the gentle race
this world has seldom seen
they talk of days for which they sit and wait
all will be revealed
Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
sounds caress my ear
and not a word i heard could i relate
the story was quite clear
Ooh, baby, i been blind
oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
oh, ooh yes, i been blind
mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
All i see turns to brown
as the sun burns the ground
and my eyes fill with sand
as i scan this razor line
can i find, can i find where i've been
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
like sorts inside a dream
leave the path the led me to that place
yellow desert stream
like shangri-la beneath the summer moon
i will return again
as the dust that floats finds you
will move and search kashmir
oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
cross the sea of years
with no provision but an open face
along the straits of fear
oh, when i want, when i'm on my way, yeah
and my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but i'm down ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but i'm down, so down
ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
let me take you there
come on, oh let me take you there
let me take you there

Ojalá, Silvio Rodriguez



Ojalá que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
para que no las puedas convertir en cristal.
Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo.
Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin tí.
Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos.

Ojalá se te acabé la mirada constante,
la palabra precisa, la sonrisa perfecta.
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto:
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve.
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte,
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones:
ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones

Ojalá que la aurora no dé gritos que caigan en mi espalda.
Ojalá que tu nombre se le olvide a esa voz.
Ojalá las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino cansado.
Ojalá que el deseo se vaya tras de tí,
a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos y flores.

I gotta feeling, Black Eyed Peas



I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good good night (x4)

Tonight's the night night
Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up

Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all

I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
and loosing all control

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov
Look at her dancing
Just take it off

Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

Let's Do it (x13)
And live it up

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night (x2)

Tonight's the night
Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up

Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF

Fill up my cup (Drink)
Mozoltov (La' Chaim)
Look at her dancing (Move it Move it)
Just take it off

Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
and then we'll do it again

Lets do it (x15)
Let's live it up

Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock

Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top

Feel the shot
Body rock
Rock it don't stop

Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday to Sunday

Get get get get get with us
You know what we say
Party every day
Pa pa pa Party every day

And I'm feelin
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

Gracias a la vida, Mercedes Sosa +



Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario
Con él las palabras que pienso y declaro
Madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando,
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
Playas y desiertos montañas y llanos
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo,
Cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto,
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.

Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida.
