FINA
ESTAMPA
(Chabuca
Granda)
Una
veredita alegre
Con
luz de luna o de sol
Tendida
como una cinta
Con
sus lados de arrebol
Arrebol
de los geranios
Y
sonrisas con rubor
Arrebol
de los claveles
Y
las mejillas en flor
Perfumada
de magnolia
Rociada
de mañanita
La
veredita sonríe
Cuando
tu piel acaricia
Y la
cuculi se ríe
Y
la ventana se agita
Cuando
por esa vereda
Tu
fina estampa paseas
Fina
estampa, caballero
caballero
de fina estampa
un
lucero que sonriera
bajo
un sombrero
No
sonriere más hermoso
Ni
más luciera, caballero
Y
en tu andaranda reluce
La
acerada andarandal
Te
lleva por los aguajes
Y
a los patios encantado
Te
lleva por las plazuelas
Y
a los amores soñados
Veredita
que se arrulla
Con
tafetanes bordados
Tacón
de Chafín de seda
Y
justes almidonados
Es
un caminito alegre
Con
luz de luna o de sol
Que
he de recorrer cantando
Por
si te puedo alcanzar
Fina
estampa caballero
Quien
te pudiera guardar
Fina
estampa... |
LA
FLOR DE LA CANELA
(Chabuca
Granda)
Déjame
que te cuente, limeña
Déjame
que te diga la gloria
Del
ensueño que evoca la memoria
Del
viejo puente, del río y la alameda
Déjame
que te cuente, limeña
Ahora
que aún perfuma el recuerdo
Ahora
que aún mece en su sueño
El
viejo puente del río y la alameda
Jazmines
en el pelo y rosas en la cara
Airosa
caminaba la flor de la canela
Derramaba
lisura y a su paso dejaba
Aroma
de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba
Del
puente a la alameda
Mundo
pie la lleva
Por
la vereda que se estremece
Al
ritmo de sus caderas
Recogía
la risa de la brisa del río
Y
al viento la lanzaba
Del
puente a la alameda
Déjame
que te cuente, limeña ¡Ay!
Deja
que te diga morena mi pensamiento
A
ver si así despiertas del sueño
Del
sueño que entretiene, morena,
Tus
sentimientos
Aspiras
de la lisura
Que
da la flor de canela
Adornada
con jazmines
Matizando
tu hermosura
Alfombras
de nuevo el puente
Y
engalanas la alameda
El
río acompasara tu paso por la vereda
Jazmines
en el pelo...
Del
puente a la alameda... |
THE
LADY IN RED
(Chris
de Burgh)
I've
never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've
never seen you shine so bright
I've
never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're
looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I
have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or
the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The
lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's
nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But
I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll
never for get, the way you look tonight
I've
never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've
never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've
never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And
when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I
have never had such a feeling
Such
a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The
way you look tonight
I
never will forget, the way you look tonight
The
lady in red
The
lady in red
The
lady in red
My
lady in red (I love you.) |
GANSTA'S
PARADISE
(Coolio)
As
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I
take a look at my life
And
realize there's nothing left
'Cause
I've been blasting and laughing so long
That
even my momma thinks that my mind has gone
But
I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me
be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You
betta watch how ya talking
And
where ya walking
Or
you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really
hate to trip but I gotta loc
As
they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool,
I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like
On
my knees in the night
Saying
prayers in the street light
1-Been
spending most our lives
Living
in a gangsta's paradise (2)
Keep
spending most our lives
Living
in a gangsta's paradise (2)
Look
at the situation, they got me facing
I
can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So
I gotta be down with the 'hood team
Too
much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm
an educated fool with money on my mind
Got
my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm
a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And
my homies are down so don't arouse my anger
Fool,
death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm
living life do or die, what can I say?
I'm
twenty-three now , will I ever live to see twenty-four
The
way things is going I don't know.
2-Tell
me why are we so blind to see
That
the ones we hurt are you and me?
(rpt

Power
in the money, money in the power
Minute
after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's
running, but half of them ain't looking
It's
going on in the kitchen
But
I don't know what's cooking.
They
say I gotta learn
But
nobody's here to teach me
If
they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I
guess they can't
I
guess they won't, I guess they front
That's
why I know my life is out of luck, foo!
