Many Rivers To Cross - Jimmy Cliff

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time

Lhasa de Sela - Pa'Llegar a tu Lado

Gracias a tu cuerpo doy
Por haberme esperado
Tuve que perderme pa'
Llegar hasta tu lado

Gracias a tus brazos doy
Por haberme alcanzado
Tuve que alejarme pa'
Llegar hasta tu lado

Gracias a tus manos doy
Por haberme aguantado
Tuve que quemarme
Pa'llegar hasta tu lado

FALETE Y NIÑA PASTORI VALGAME DI

Y es la verdad,
querer así es un pecao,
válgame Dios,
que me perdone el santo Padre pero yo
no sé vivir si no te tengo y a mi vera.
Y es la verdad
que quererte más no puedo,
y el pensarlo me da miedo,
tu no te vayas a equivocar,
y es que es tanto lo que te quiero
que no lo podria aguantar.

Quiero que me beses
y a media voz decirte que te amo
y hablame bajito
que nadie se entere
lo que nos contamos
quiero que me beses
que nadie se entere
lo que nos amamos.

Por ti seré un angelito
y guardaré tu corazón
y borraré más los recuerdos
y te daré la luz de luna
que tu corazón buscaba.
Y quiero ser
ese brillo de tu mirada,
un reflejo de tu alma,
pequeñas cosas yo te daré,
la fé que mueve montañas
y el sentimiento mas puro
quiero ser.

Quiero que me beses
y a media voz decirte que te amo
y hablame bajito
que nadie se entere
lo que nos contamos
quiero que me beses
que nadie se entere
lo que nos amamos.

Que me perdone el santo padre pero yo...
Un angelito y guardaré tu corazón...
Que me perdone el santo padre pero yo...
Un angelito y guardaré tu corazón...

Waiting For The Miracle

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.
Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.
I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do ...
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
