The way you look tonight

Someday, when I'm awfully low, 
When the world is cold, 
I will feel a glow just thinking of you                                (glow: brillo, resplandor)
And the way you look tonight. 

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm 
And your cheeks so soft, 
There is nothing for me but to love you, 
And the way you look tonight. 

With each word your tenderness grows, 
Tearing my fear apart...                                                    (tear: desgarrar)
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, 
It touches my foolish heart. 

Lovely, never, ever change. 
Keep that breathless charm.                      (breathless: emocionante, apasionante)
Won't you please arrange it ? 
'Cause I love you 
Just the way you look tonight. 

Mm, mm, mm, mm, 
Just the way you look tonight.

Autumn leaves

The falling leaves
Drift by my window (Drift: ir a la deriva)
The falling leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

The Sound of Silence (Amazing cover of Simon & Garfunkel's song)

[Verse 1]

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

[Verse 2]

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by
The flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

[Verse 3]

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

[Verse 4]

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

[Verse 5]

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said:
"The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence."

Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

I wish I was special. Cover

When you were here before
I couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here, oh, oh

She’s running out again
She’s running out
Run, run, run, run!
Run!

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

Haven't Met You Yet [Official Music Video]

Michael Bublé - Haven't Met You Yet [Official Music Video]
Letra:

I'm not surprised
Not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times,
I stopped keepin' track.
Talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up
Then I let myself down.

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing
And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Mmm

But somehow I know that will all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right
And we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

Mmm

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work, to work it out
Promise you kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh you know it will all turn out
And you'll make me work, so we can work, to work it out
And I promise you kid, to give so much more than I get
Yeah I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh promise you kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love, love, love, love
I just haven't met you yet
Love, love, love, love, love, love
I just haven't met you yet

I WISH YOU WOULD

Para repasar I wish + would: ojalá o me gustaría que
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, and I
Wish you'd know that I'll never forget you as long as I live, and I
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

I wish you we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish you know that I miss you too much to be mad anymore
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would



Letra completa:
It's 2 am in your car
Windows down, you pass my street, the memories start
You say it's in the past, you drive straight ahead
You're thinking that I hate you now
Cause you still don't know what I never said

I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, and I
Wish you'd know that I'll never forget you as long as I live, and I
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

It's 2 am, in my room
Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you
We're a crooked love in a straight line down
If you wanna run and hide then it makes you turn right back around
I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did, and I
Wish you'd know that I'll never forget you as long as I live, and I
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

I wish you we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish you know that I miss you too much to be mad anymore
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

I, I, I,
I wish, I wish, I
I, I, I,
I wish, I wish, I

You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad mad love makes you come running
Stand back where you stood

I wish you would
I wish you would

I wish you wouldI wish you would

I wish, I wish

2am here we are
See your face, hear my voice in the dark
We're a crooked love
In a straight line down
Guess you wanna run and hide but it made us turn right back around

I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did, and I
I wish you'd know that I never forget you as long as I live, and I
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

I wish you would come backWish I'd never hung up the phone like I did,
I wish you'd know that I'll never forget you as long as I live, and IWish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

I wish you we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish you know that I miss you too much to be mad anymore
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would

You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad mad love makes you come running
To stand back where you stood

I wish you wouldI wish you wouldI wish you wouldI wish you would

I, I, I,I wish, I wish, II, I, I,I wish, I wish, I

Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

Bobby Short - I'm In Love Again

Why am I
Just as happy as a child
Why am I
Like a racehorse running wild
Why am I
In a state of ecstasy
The reason is 'cause something's happened to me

I'm in love again, and the spring is comin'
I'm in love again, hear my heart strings strummin'
I'm in love again, and the hymn I'm hummin'
is the "Huddle Up, Cuddle Up Blues"

I'm in love again, and I can't rise above it (superarlo)
I'm in love again, and I love, love, love it
I'm in love again, and I'm darn (adv. absolutamente) glad (contento) of it (absolutamente contento de ello)
Good news!

Someone sad had the awful luck to meet
Someone bad, but the kind of bad that's sweet
No one knows what a glimpse of paradise
Someone who's naughty showed to someone who's nice

I'm in love again, and with glee I bubble
I'm in love again, and the fun's just double
I'm in love again, if I got in trouble
I'll be cursin' one person I know

I'm in love again, I'm a lovebird sigin'
I'm in love again, I'm the spring lamb springin'
I'm in love again, weddin' bells are ringin'
Let's go!

U2 - With or Without you - lyrics

Through the storm
We reach the shore (alcanzar la orilla)
You give it all
But I want more
And I'm waiting for you

I can't live with or without you
I can't live with or without you
I can't live...
I can't live with or without you

And you give yourself away (te delataste)
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised (magullado)
She's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose (nada que perder)

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away

I can't live with or without you
I can't live with or without you
I can't live...
I can't live with or without you

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday is blue

Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday I'm in love


Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday Wednesday break my heart

Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday I'm in love


Saturday wait

And Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black

Tuesday Wednesday heart attack

Thursday never looking back

It's Friday I'm in love


Monday you can hold your head

Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed

On Thursday watch the walls instead

It's Friday I'm in love


Saturday wait

And Sunday always comes too late

But Friday never hesitate


Dressed up to the eyes

It's a wonderful surprise

To see your shoes and your spirits rise

Throwing out your frown

And just smiling at the sound

And as sleek as a sheik

Spinning round and round

Always take a big bite

It's such a gorgeous sight

To see you eat in the middle of the night

You can never get enough

Enough of this stuff

It's Friday I'm in love


I don't care if Monday's blue

Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too

Thursday I don't care about you

It's Friday I'm in love


Monday you can fall apart

Tuesday Wednesday break my heart

Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday I'm in love

Luthea Salom - By your Side

I wanna be with you all of the time

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna make you smile

I wanna bite your lips

I’m sure they taste like wine

I wanna steal the sun

and build our private sky



I wanna write your name one thousand times

then write a song with mine

and make it all rhyme

I wanna be the cat that lives nine lives

so I can spend each one

just lying by your side


cause when you kiss me i see circles

and everything around turns purple

and time slows down like a turtle
