Amado mio
No Hay Problema
Music and lyrics by Doris Fisher and Allan Roberts published by MCA Music/Doris Fisher Music, Allan Roberts Music
by Jacques Marray aka Duke Jordan published by Unichappell Music, Inc.
Amado mio Love me forever And let forever begin tonight Amado mio When we’re together I’m in a dream world of sweet delight Many times I’ve whispered “amado mio” It was just a phrase That I’d heard in plays I was acting a part
But now when I whisper “amado mio” Can’t you tell I care By the feeling there For it comes from my heart My one endeavor My love my darling Would be to hold you and hold you tight Amado mio Love me forever And let forever begin tonight

Sympathique Music and lyrics by China Forbes and Thomas M. Lauderdale published by Wow & Dazzle Music (BMI) / Thomas M. Lauderdale Music (ASCAP) After the poem “Hotel” by Guillaume Apollinaire, published by Editions Gallimard
Ma chambre à la forme d’une cage Le soleil passe son bras par le fenêtre Les chasseurs à ma porte Comme les petits soldats Qui veulent me prendre
My room is a cage The sun streams through the window The bellhops are at my door Like little soldiers Who want to take me away
Je ne veux pas travailler Je ne veux pas dejeuner Je veux seulement oublier Et puis je fume
I don’t want to work I don’t want to lunch I want only to forget And then I smoke
Déjà j’ai connu le parfum de l’amour Un million de roses N’embaumeraient pas autant Maintenant une seule fleur Dans mes entourages Me rend malade
Long ago I knew the smell of love A million roses Couldn’t smell as sweet Now a single flower In my way Makes me sick
Je ne suis pas fier de ça Vie qui veut me tuer C’est magnifique Être sympathique Mais je ne le connais jamais
I am not proud of this Life that wants to kill me It’s lovely To be lovely But I have never known this

La Soledad
Music and lyrics by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans published by Jay Livinston Music – MCA Music / St. Angelo Music
Music and lyrics by Pepe Raphael with Thomas M. Lauderdale with excerpts from “Andante Spianato” by Frederic Chopin published by Thomas M. Lauderdale Music (ASCAP) / Geisha Boy Productions
When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here’s what she said to me
When I was just a child in school I asked my teacher what should I try Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs? This was her wise reply
Que Sera Sera Whatever will be will be The future’s not ours to see Que Sera Sera
When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead Will there be rainbows Day after day? Here’s what my sweetheart said

Viniste a mi Como poesia en la cancion Mostandome Un nuevo mundo de passion Amandome Sin egoismo y sin razon Mas sin saber que era el amor Yo protegi mi corazon
You came to me As poetry comes in song And you showed me A new world of passion You loved me Without conditions or reasons While I, ignorant of the meaning of love Protected my heart
El sol se fue Y yo cantando tu cancion La soledad Se adueña de toda emocion
The sun has set And now I sing of you This solitude Consumes me

¿Donde Estas Yolanda? Music and lyrics by Manuel Jiménez published by EMI Blackwood Music o/b/o EMI Musical S.A
¿Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda? ¿Que paso, que paso, Yolanda? Te busque, te busque, Yolanda Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda
Where are you, Yolanda? What happened, Yolanda? I’ve looked for you, Yolanda And you’re not here, Yolanda
Tus ojos me miraron Tus labios me besaron Con ese fuego ardiente Ardiente de mujer
Your eyes gazed at mine Your lips kissed mine With desire and passion The passion of a woman
La luz de tu mirada El fuego de tus labios Flecharon a mi pecho y de ti me enamore
The sparkle in your eye The fire of your lips Conquered my heart And I fell in love with you
Me dicen que paseabas En un carro Yolanda Muy guapa y arrogante Y todos te silbaban
They tell me your were cruising around In your new car Yolanda Looking very pretty and proud And all the men whistled at you
Si un dia te encontrara No se que puedo hacer No se me vuelvo loco Si ya no te vuelvo a ver
If someday I find you I won’t know what will happen I think I will go crazy If I never see you again

Children of Piraeus (from the film Never on Sunday) Music and lyrics by Manos Hadjidakis published by EMI Unart Catalog, Incorporated
Απ το παραθυρο µου οτελνω ενα και δυο και τρια και τεσσερα ϕιλια που ϕτανουν οτο λιµανι ενα και δυο και τρια και τεσσερα πουλια. Πως ηθελα να εχω ενα και δυο και τρια και τεσσερα παιδια που σαν θα µεγαλωσουν ολα να γινουν λεβεντες για χαρη του Πειραια. Οσο κι αν ψαξω δε βρισκω αλλο λιµανι
From my balcony I send One, two, three and four kisses to the world Over the docks of Piraeus fly One, two, three and four seagulls, I am told How much I’d love to have One, two, three and four boys, proud and fine, And when one day they grow up They’ll be manly and strong For this precious port of mine And when I come out of my door There is no one in the world, there is
(continued…)
τρελη να µ εχει κανει οσο του Πειραια. Που οταν βραδιαζει τραγαυδια µ αραδιαζει και τις πενιες του αλλαζει γεµιζει απο ναιδια. Απο την πορτα µου σαν βγω δεν υπαρχει κανεις που να µην τον αγαπω και σαν το βραδυ κοιµηθω ξερω πως θα τον ονειρευτω. Πετραδια βαζω στο λαιµο και µια χαντρα ϕυλαχτο γιατι το βραδυ καρτερω οτο λιµανι σαν θα βγω καποιον αγνωστο να βρω.
No one I don’t love And every night I close my eyes and I Sleep and I know I’ll dream of them just like before Jewels around my neck A good-luck charm I carry Because the night falls and I long To find a perfect stranger And seduce him with my song So much I’ve tried I’ve never found a port To captivate my heart As Pireaus does And when the night falls The air is filled with songs With tunes and sounds and laughter Bursting with life and youthful calls

Brazil
Music and lyrics by Ary Barroso published by Peer International Corporation
Brazil — where stars were entertaining June We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured “someday soon” We kissed and clung together
And now when twilight dims the skies above Recalling thrills of our love There’s one thing I am certain of Return I will to old Brazil
