CAMBALACHE (ENRIQUE SANTOS DISCÉPOLO)
Que el mundo fue y será una porquería ya lo sé...
(¡En el quinientos diez y en el dos mil también!).
Que siempre ha habido chorros, maquiavelos y estafaos,
contentos y amargaos, valores y doblés...
Pero que el siglo veinte es un despliegue de maldad insolente,
ya no hay quien lo niegue.
Vivimos revolcados en un merengue
y en el mismo lodo todos manoseados.
¡Hoy resulta que es lo mismo ser derecho que traidor!
¡Ignorante, sabio, chorro, pretencioso estafador!
¡Todo es igual! ¡Nada es mejor!
¡Lo mismo un burro que un gran profesor!
No aplazao’ ni escalafón, los inmorales nos han igualao’.
Si uno vive en la impostura y otro afana en su ambición,
¡da lo mismo que sea cura, colchonero, rey de basto,
caradura o polizón!
¡Qué falta de respeto, qué atropello a la razón!
¡Cualquiera es un señor! ¡Cualquiera es un ladrón!
Si junto a Bonafini va Scarface y Napoleón
Maradona y "La Mignón"; Carnera y San Martín
pero en la vidriera irrespetuosa de los cambalaches
se ha mezclao’ la vida y herida por un sable sin remache
ves llorar la Biblia junto a un calefón.
¡Siglo veinte, cambalache problemático y febril!
El que no llora no mama, el que no afana es un gil!
¡Dale nomás! ¡Dale que va!
¡Que allá en el horno se vamo’ a encontrar!
¡No pienses más, sentate a un lao’,
que a nadie importa si naciste honrao’!
Es lo mismo el que labura noche y día como un buey,
que el que vive de las minas, que el que mata o el que cura
o está fuera de la ley...
que el que vive de las minas, que el que mata o el que cura
o está fuera de la ley...
STAND BY ME (BEN E. KING ADAPTATION LUCA PRODAN)
When the night is cold there’s no moon is the sky
And the stars, the only light I see
I won´t cry, i won´t cry, I won´t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me.
Oh darling won’t you stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me.
Oh baby won’t you stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me.
Just when you’re feeling down
There’s no one there around
And the mountains, they crumble into the sea
Well you won´t cry, you won´t cry
you won´t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me.
Oh baby won’t you stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me.
Oh darling won’t you stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me.
FIVE YEARS (DAVID BOWIE)
Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got.
DREAMLAND (BUNNY WAILER)
There's a land that I’ve heard about
So far across the sea
There's a land that I’ve heard about
So far across the sea
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
And all the glories, we'll have them all
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me
Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky
and surely we'll never die.
JAMAICA FAREWELL (ERVING BURGESS)
Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year.
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

REDEMPTION SONG (BOB MARLEY)

Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.

Triumphantly.

E PENSO A TE (LUCIO BATTISTI)
Io lavoro e penso a te
torno a casa e penso a te
le telefono e intanto penso a te
Come stai e penso a te
dove andiamo e penso a te
le sorrido abbasso gli occhi e penso a te
Non so con chi adesso sei
non so che cosa fai
ma so di certo a cosa stai pensando
E' troppo grande la città
per due che come noi
non sperano però si stan cercando... cercando...
Scusa è tardi e penso a te
ti accompagno e penso a te
non son stato divertente e penso a te
Sono al buio e penso a te
chiudo gli occhi e penso a te
io non dormo e penso a te.
ROCKY RACOON (PAUL MCCARTNEY)
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named rocky raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young rocky in the eye, rocky didn’t like that
He said I’m gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon
Rocky raccoon checked into his room
Only to find gideons bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was magil and she called herself lil
But everyone knew her as nancy
Now she and her man who called himself dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said danny boy this is a showdown
But daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And rocky collapsed in the corner
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said rocky you met your match
And rocky said, doc its only a scratch
And Ill be better, Ill be better doc as soon as I am able
Now rocky raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find gideons bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good rockys revival.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN (FLOYD JONES ADAPTATION ALAN WILSON)
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend.
You know the first time I travelled hard
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
You know the first time I travelled hard
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I ain’t going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
But I ain’t going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
I can't carry you, Baby,
Gonna carry somebody else.
NO WOMAN NO CRY (BOB MARLEY)
Well I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through,
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

GOING UP THE COUNTRY (ALAN WILSON)
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say,
but we might even leave the USA
'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play
No use of you running, or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine.

BILLY (LOU REED)
Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
In high school he played football
And me, I didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool
Then we both went to college
He studied medicine while I studied foliage
He got a's and I got d's
He was going for his ph.d.
Then I decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the billy I knew, it was like talking to a door
Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since I was nine
We went together through school
And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool .

SOUL LOVE (DAVID BOWIE)
Stone love - she kneels before the grave
A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love - a boy and girl they talking
New words - that only they can share in
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing - sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him
Love is careless in its choosing - sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not living.
