Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda que es mi morena
La busco para darle cositas buenas
Yo salgo del río sin luz y sigo por el sancoyo
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Me deslizo por el sausa y por suerte el magdalena
Llego al boca del cenizo y no encuentro a mi morena
Llego al boca del cenizo y no encuentro a mi morena
Playera playera
¿Por qué es que te vas?
¿Con quién tú te vas?
¿Y dónde te vas?
Este pobre canoero se va a matar
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda que es mi morena
La busco para darle cositas buenas
Yo salgo del río sin luz y sigo por el sancoyo
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Yo diviso en alta mar, la espuma de aquel barco
Seguro que se me lleva la mujercita que quiero tanto
Seguro que se me lleva la mujercita que quiero tanto
Playera playera
¿A dónde tú vas?
¿Por qué es que te vas?
¿Con quién tú te vas?
Este pobre canoero se va a matar

It's good to see you baby it's been a long long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good ol’ days
And you’ve been in some trouble
Since we went our separate ways
We’ll have to say hello maybe some other time instead
Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead.
Somebody spread the rumor that you had lost your life
‘Least that’s the way I heard it and what I told my wife
Now here you’re showing up again
and talk is getting’ round
And I can see that one of us will have to leave this town
If you think that I want trouble
Than you’re crazy in your head
Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead.
You never called or wrote me, just up and disappeared
Nobody knew what happened
Where you been for all these years
Now trouble’s what you’re lookin’ like
Cause trouble’s where you been
And I can see the kind of trouble you can get me in
You better pay attention to every word I said
Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead.
So goodbye to you baby I’m glad we’ve got to talk
But I’m faithful to my wife and I don’t ever break the law
I don’t know where you’re headed for
But I know where you been
We’re reminisced now let’s just go our separate ways again
Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead
Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead.
Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead
Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead.

I'm watching the sea
here in Waikiki
I'm frustrated.
There's no cloud in the sky
but there's tears in my eyes.
The birds in the trees
sing a sweet melody
and I hate it.
Here's the reason I cry
she left me blue in Hawaii
Ref.:
She winked and said Aloha
come on and let us go out to the sea
there she danced the Hula
and then she made a fool out of me
So stranger take my advice
don't come to this paradise
and its ladies
they'll make you will suffer and cry
and leave you blue in Hawaii.
Ref. ...
You will suffer and cry
and be you blue in Hawaii.
Burns
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
Got myself a little goldmine to bank on
But one day my heart sank when I saw Madame in town
I knew her love would be the death of mine
L'amour passait, l'amour obsolète.
Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur?
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique.
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars.)
Do me a favor while I'm hanging here
Take this gold and go and hide
Ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue
Don't worry I'll be free in no time.
She promised me she would be there when I'd return
She didn't say she'd have an army there as well
She whispered, "Je t'aime Baby,"
As she fired that gun at me.
Mais je n'ai plus de temps
I should've stayed way out yonder
Better off with the scorpions and snakes
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
But I'm a little late this time,
Cause her love is going to be
The death of mine, mine, all mine
Earle
I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
Ref.:
But I recall all of the nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere up too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin' up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
Ref. ...
Robbins
Magia blanca tu tienes me haz hechizado a mi
Con tu mirada coqueta, con tu manera de hablar
Cuando pasando caminas todos te admiran a ti
¿Por qué eres así?, fíjate en mí, no me hagas sufrir.
Oh magia blanca, magia blanca que me embrujó
Magia blanca tienes tú, me haces llorar con tu castigar.
Linda mujer divina, llena de encantos mil
Sabes que eres hermosa y a todos quieres rendir
Estoy dispuesto a humillarme, si esperanza me das
Si puedes amar, te voy adorar, todo te lo daré.
Oh magia blanca, magia blanca que me embrujó
Magia blanca tienes tú, me haces llorar con tu castigar.
Oh magia blanca, magia blanca que me embrujó
Magia blanca tienes tú, me haces llorar con tu castigar.
Oh devil woman
Devil woman let go of me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home
Lee, Young
Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside
I was always a fool for my Johnny
For the one they call Johnny Guitar
Play it again, Johnny Guitar
Whether you go, whether you stay, I love you
But if you're cruel, you can be kind I know
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar

Deja que salga la luna, deja que se meta el sol
Deja que caiga la noche pa´que empiece nuestro amor
Deja que las estrellitas me llenen de inspiración
Para decirte cositas muy bonitas corazón
Yo sé que no hay en el mundo amor como que el me das
Y sé que noche con noche va creciendo más y más
Y sé que noche con noche va creciendo más y más
Cuando estoy entre tus brazos siempre me pregunto yo
Cuanto me debía el destino que contigo me pagó
Por eso es que ya mi vida toda te la entrego a ti
Tu que me diste en un beso lo que nunca te pedí
Yo sé que no hay en el mundo amor como que el me das
Y sé que noche con noche va creciendo más y más
Yo sé que no hay en el mundo amor como que el me das
Y sé que noche tras noche va creciendo más y más
Y sé que noche con noche va creciendo más y más.
Deja que salga la luna.

Listen, comrade, let me sing you a song
about a land up north where the winter is long
about the bear and the wolf and the siberian tiger
the evenings when everyone is twisting in the taiga.
We work all day on the frozen soil
searching for diamonds and the gas and the oil
when the day is done somebody grabs a balalaika
then we're drinking, we are singing, we are twisting in the taiga.
Some like silver, some like gold
some like it hot and some like it cold
some like Australia and some like Jamaika
I like it here 'cause I like twisting in the taiga.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you,
He'll have to go
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
For love is blind make up your mind, I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him,
He'll have to go
You can't say the words I long to hear
When your with some other man
Darling you can answer yes or no
Baby I will understand
You can't say the words I long to hear
When your with some other man
Darling you can answer yes or no
Baby I will understand
So put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell this motherf***** you're sleeping with,
He'll have to go
And you can tell this friend there with you,
He'll have to go

You were mine for just a while
Now you're puttin' on the style
And you never once looked back
At your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down
Ref.:
Pick me up on your way down
when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you
come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame
'cause underneath you're still the same
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down
Ref. ...
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down
Ojeda, Hiss
It was la noche de noches
in the bar "El Tropical"
Near the town of Los Mochis
where I met this brown eyed girl.
She was the pretties muchacha
that I had ever met.
I asked her if she liked to Chacha
and this is what she said:
Ref.:
Baila, baila, baila pendejo
baila y goza ya
baila, baila, baila pendejo
baila el cha cha chá
I searched the bars and the cantinas
and every night I'm sitting here
No one I asked has ever seen her
it seems she simply disappeared.
I'm thinking of the night I've met her
as I lay sleepless in my bed
I know I never will forget her
and the words she gently said.
Ref. ...

Way out in the island with the coconut tree
The pearly shells and the tropical breeze
There’s a hillbilly girl from Tennessee, my hillbilly hula girl
She’s had enough of the hills and me
So she’s taken to the lessons in Waikiki
I guess she’s right where she wants to be
My hillbilly hula girl
She dances with wahini’s in the islands now
She’s trying to do the hula but she don’t know how
She’s got the poniola’s in her own corral
She feeds them grits and gravy at the old luau
The Blue Grass hills and the Mountain Dew
Wait till she leaves Honolu
She better come home like she’s supposed to do
My hillbilly hula girl
Now she looks twice as good in a little grass skirt
Than overalls and a torn up shirt
But corn don’t grow in lava dirt, my hillbilly hula girl
There’s smiles on the faces if the island boys
Cause her southern drawl gives a big enjoy
She can’t churn butter when she’s dipping that poi
My hillbilly hula girl
Now she never used to give a hoot
For coconuts or taro root
She’s a country girl living in the islands now
She’s trying to get the hula girls to show her how
When she's through with this fantasy
I hope she'll come on back to Tennessee
Back where she’s supposed to be, my hillbilly hula girl
My hillbilly hula girl.
