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

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

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

Perdoname
Si el miedo robo mi illusion
Viniste a mi
No supe amar
Y solo queda esta cancion
Forgive me
If I was stolen away by fear
You came to me
I did not know how to love
All that is left is this song

This diamond heart
Cold heart of mine
Not even an angel
Or the devil’s whispers of desire
No man’s love
Can ever reach my heart

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
Then tomorrow was another day
The morning found us miles away
With still a million things to say
