Tracy Chapman: Baby Can I Hold You Tonight
Can I Hold You Tonight
Tracy Chapman
Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you
the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you I love you
Fast car -Tracy Chapman
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
You've got a fast car
I wanna a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove
You've got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See my old man's got a problem
Live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young, to look like his
When mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You've got a a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
Now I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You've got a fast car
I've got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans and I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1976-Hard Rain)
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Bob Dylan
"Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door"

Andrés Calamaro: Elvis está vivo
Elvis esta vivo (Andrés Calamaro)
Elvis esta vivo, me lo dijo un amigo, cuando el sol empezaba a caer,
esta en el cuarto forrado de leopardo dorado,
se queda viendo su propio funeral;
En Memphis lo saben todos,
pero es gente muy discreta y no dice nada
sera mejor asi, sera mejor asi?
Elvis esta vivo, eternamente dormido,
en un inodoro de cristal,
Elvis esta vivo se escribe cartas conmigo,
cuando el sol empieza a caer;
Bob Dylan tambien lo sabe,
pero Bob es muy discreto,no dice nada
sera mejor asi, sera mejor asi?;
Elvis esta vivo, esta lavando la limo,
cuando el sol empieza a caer,
supongo que esta en su casa en una bata de seda,
mirando diez canales a la vez;
En Memphis lo saben todos,
pero es gente muy discreta y no dice nada
sera mejor asi, sera mejor asi?
("are you lonesome tonight?")
Elvis esta vivo,
Elvis es un buen tio,
espero que me invite a comer

Joan Manuel Serrat y Luís Eduardo Aute - De alguna manera
De alguna manera
(Luis Eduardo Aute)
De alguna manera
tendré que olvidarte,
por mucho que quiera
no es fácil, ya sabes,
me faltan las fuerzas,
ha sido muy tarde
y nada más, y nada más,
apenas nada más.
Las noches te acercan
y enredas el aire,
mis labios se secan
e intento besarte.
Qué fría es la cera
de un beso de nadie
y nada más, y nada más,
apenas nada más.
Las horas de piedra
parecen cansarse
y el tiempo se peina
con gesto de amante.
De alguna manera
tendré que olvidarte
y nada más, y nada más,
apenas nada más

Eva Cassidy - over the rainbow
OVER THE RAINBOW
Letra de Edgar Yipsel “Yip” Harburg
Música de Harold Arlen (Hyman Arluck)
Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
there's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true.
Some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far
behind me,
where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far
behind me,
where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true.
If happy little bluebirds fly
above the rainbow
why, oh why can't I?
MÁS ALLÁ DEL ARCO IRIS
En algún lugar, más allá del arco iris
bien arriba
hay una tierra sobre la que escuché
una vez en una canción de cuna.
En algún lugar, más allá del arco iris
los cielos son azules
y los sueños que te atreves a soñar
de verdad se hacen realidad.
Algún día quisiera estar en una estrella
y despertar cuando las nubes estén bastante lejos de mí,
donde los problemas desaparezcan como confites de limón
muy lejos de lo más alto de las chimeneas.
Es allí donde me encontrarás.
En algún lugar, más allá del arco iris
los cielos son azules
y los sueños que te atreves a soñar
de verdad se hacen realidad.
Si los pequeños pájaros azules de la felicidad vuelan
más allá del arco iris
¿por qué, oh por qué, no puedo yo?
