The Wild Rover
I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more.
chorus: And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.
I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Such a custom as yours I could have any day."
chorus
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest."
chorus
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they caress (forgive) me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
chorus

AVICII - Waiting For Love
=========================================================
=========================================================
=========================================================
(with Martin Garrix & John Legend)
=========================================================
=========================================================
AVICII -- "Waiting For Love"
Where there's a will, there's a way, kinda beautiful
And every night has its day, so magical
And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle
That can't be defeated
For every tyrant a tear for the vulnerable
In every lost soul the bones of a miracle
For every dreamer a dream we're unstoppable
With something to believe in
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around
We are one of a kind irreplaceable
How did I get so blind and so cynical
If there's love in this life we're unstoppable
No we can't be defeated
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around
And every night has its day, so magical
And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle
That can't be defeated
For every tyrant a tear for the vulnerable
In every lost soul the bones of a miracle
For every dreamer a dream we're unstoppable
With something to believe in
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around
We are one of a kind irreplaceable
How did I get so blind and so cynical
If there's love in this life we're unstoppable
No we can't be defeated
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love
Thank the stars it's Friday
I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday
Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love
To come around

Idina Menzel - Let It Go
IDINA MENZEL
"Let It Go"
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care
What they’re going to say

The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

Avicii - Wake Me Up
==========================================================
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
And I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart

But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand

Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
They can really make you mad

When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

Background: This song is from Life of Brian by Monty Python. From what I heard, they were filming the last scene of Life of Brian and were all bored and hot sitting up on their crucifixes. So Eric Idle started singing a little ditty. Everyone (but Eric) liked it so much that they decided to use it. It has since become one of our most popular songs as well.

Queen - We Are The Champions
I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

Amazing Grace
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazing_Grace
"Amazing Grace" (conocido en algunas regiones hispanohablantes como "Sublime gracia")1 2 es un himno cristiano escrito por el clérigo y poeta inglés John Newton (1725-1807) y publicado en 1779. La composición, una de las canciones más conocidas en los países de habla inglesa, transmite el mensaje cristiano de que el perdón y la redención es posible a pesar de los pecados cometidos por el ser humano y de que el alma puede salvarse de la desesperación mediante la Gracia de Dios.
Newton escribió la letra a partir de su experiencia personal. Educado sin ninguna convicción religiosa, a lo largo de su juventud vivió varias coincidencias y giros inesperados, muchos de ellos provocados por su recalcitrante insubordinación. Fue forzado a unirse a la Royal Navy y como marinero, participó en el mercado de esclavos. Durante una noche, una tormenta golpeó tan fuertemente su embarcación que, aterrorizado, imploró la ayuda de Dios, un momento que marca el comienzo de su conversión espiritual. Su carrera como tratante de esclavos duró algunos años más, hasta que abandonó la marina para estudiar teología.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
We have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
We have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

The Flower of Scotland
O Flower of Scotland
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
Lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
They must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Waltzing Matilda - Australian
=============================================================
http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/magazine-articles/waltzing-matilda
=============================================================
La letra original está escrita en un inglés muy coloquial de Australia que dificulta su comprensión a quienes no están familiarizados con el contexto sociocultural en que se escribe la canción: La traducción es una tarea complicada debido a la cantidad de expresiones y juegos de palabras, sin embargo aquí ofrecemos una aproximación:
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".Up jumped the swagman, leapt into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"
"Una vez un alegre vagabundo acampó junto a un remanso del río,
Bajo la sombra de un eucalipto,
Y cantaba mientras miraba y esperaba que su tetera hirviera.
"¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"A vagabundear, a vagabundear
¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?
Y cantaba mientras miraba y esperaba que su tetera hirviera
"¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"Y así llegó una oveja a beber de la laguna,
Saltó hasta ella y la agarró con alegría,
Y cantaba mientras escondía la oveja en su alforja,
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo".A vagabundear, a vagabundear
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo"
Y cantaba mientras escondía la oveja en su alforja,
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo".Cabalgó el colono, montado en su pura sangre,
Y así llegaron los soldados, uno, dos, tres,
"¿Dónde está la alegre oveja que usted tiene en su alforja?"
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo".A vagabundear, a vagabundear
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo".
"¿Dónde está la alegre oveja que usted tiene en su alforja?"
"Tú vendrás a vagabundear conmigo".Brincó el vagabundo, saltando hacia el río,
"Nunca me capturaréis vivo", gritó él,
Y su fantasma puede ser oído al pasar por la laguna,
"¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"A vagabundear, a vagabundear
"¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"
Y su fantasma puede ser oído al pasar por el río,
"¿Quién vendrá a vagabundear conmigo?"
[editar]Jerga utilizada en la letra
La letra de la canción contiene muchas palabras típicamente australianas, algunas de ellas muy rara vez utilizadas en el lenguaje cotidiano australiano, excepto esta canción. Se destacan:
- swagman
- un hombre que recorre el campo en búsqueda de trabajo. Swag era el atado realizado con su manta que contenía sus pertenencias.
- waltzing
- derivado del término en alemán auf der Walz, que significa viajar mientras se trabaja como artesano y aprender nuevas técnicas de los maestros antes de regresar al hogar después de un periodo de tres años y un día, una costumbre que aún hoy es utilizada por los carpinteros. Este tèrmino también puede significar bailar vals lo que hace un juego de palabras.
- Matilda
- un término romántico para referirse al atado del swagman. No existe consenso sobre las raíces exactas del término «Matilda»; una interpretación es que cuando los swagmen se reunían en el campo, era muy rara la ocasión en que hubiera mujeres para poder bailar. Ellos de todas formas bailaban con sus swags, los que eran bautizados con un nombre de mujer. Sin embargo, esta interpretación parece estar influenciada por la palabra «waltz», y por ello la referencia a bailar. Es probable que siendo el swag la única compañía del swagman este los personificara como una mujer.
- Otra explicación es que el término se origine en los inmigrantes alemanes. Los soldados alemanes se referían a sus capotes con el nombre de «Matilda», se supone porque el capote los mantenía calientes igual que una mujer. Los primeros inmigrantes alemanes que «salían de waltz» envolvían sus pertenencias en su saco y le daban el mismo nombre que había sido usado por los soldados.
- Waltzing Matilda
- según lo indicado previamente, «to waltz Matilda» sería viajar con un atado, es decir, con todas las pertenencias envueltas en una manta o lona.
- Waltzing Matilda es la canción folclórica más conocida de Australia (especialmente en el ámbito internacional) y ha sido propuesta como himno nacional.1 Para los australianos es su canción más arraigada y a la que tienen más cariño,2 existiendo un museo dedicado a ella en Winton,Queensland.Fue compuesta en 1895 por Andrew Barton Paterson un poeta nacionalista australiano, también conocido como «Banjo» Paterson. Su versión original fue modificada y es esa segunda versión que se hizo familiar.[cita requerida]Waltzing Matilda cuenta la historia de un vagabundo que acampa una noche al lado de una laguna (billabong), mientras toma un té. Una oveja (jumbuck en inglés australiano) se acerca a beber agua y el vagabundo la roba para alimentarse. El terrateniente se da cuenta y llama a tres policías para que arresten al vagabundo. Éste, antes de ser arrestado por el robo de una oveja, prefiere saltar al agua y morir ahogado. La canción termina contando que el fantasma del vagabundo puede oírse cantando una canción que invita a los viajeros a bailar el vals con él, es decir, a salir a los caminos con el vagabundo.Waltzing Matilda se considera tradicionalmente como una canción que celebra el desafío de la gente pobre frente al poder de los ricos y del estado autoritario que protege los derechos de los ricos contra los derechos de los pobres.

That wriggled and wiggled and tiggled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat;
Fancy that to swallow a cat!

What a hog, to swallow a dog;
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a goat,
She just opened her throat and swallowed a goat;
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and wiggled and tiggled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

What a prick to swallow a pig;
She swallowed the pig to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and wiggled and tiggled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow;
She swallowed the cow to catch the pig,
She swallowed the pig to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and wiggled and tiggled inside her;

She'll be coming round the mountain
Karaoke
Learn to play it with your guitar
Although the first printed version of the song appeared in Carl
Sandburg's The American Songbag in 1927, the song is believed to have
been written during the late 1800s. The song was based on an old Negro
spiritual titled "When the Chariot Comes", which is sung to the same
melody. During the 19th century it spread through Appalachia where the
lyrics were changed into their current form. The song was later sung
by railroad work gangs in the Midwestern United States in the 1890s.
The song's style is reminiscent of the call and response structure of
many folk songs of the time, where one person would shout the first
line and others repeat.
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes.
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes.
She'll be coming 'round the mountain, coming 'round the mountain,
coming 'round the mountain when she comes.
She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes.
She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes
She'll be drivin' six white horses, drivin' six white horses
drivin' six white horses when she comes
Oh we'll all go out to meet her when she comes.
Oh we'll all go out to meet her when she comes.
Oh we'll all go out to meet her,all go out to meet her
all go out to meet her when she comes.
She'll be wearing pink pajamas when she comes.
She'll be wearing pink pajamas when she comes.
She'll be wearing pink pajamas,wearing pink pajamas.
wearing pink pajamas when she comes

Adele - Rolling In The Deep
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
It’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see your crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
And it’s bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Auld lang syne
otras versiones
Publicidad con la música de la canción
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne
Auld Lang Syne De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Auld Lang Syne
Frank C. Stanley, 1910
Auld Lang Syne es una canción patrimonial escocesa cuya letra consiste en un poema escrito en 1788[1] por Robert Burns, uno de los poetas escoceses más populares. Se suele utilizar en momentos solemnes, como aquéllos en que alguien se despide, se inicia o acaba un viaje largo en el tiempo, un funeral, etc. Se la ha relacionado especialmente con la celebración del Año Nuevo.[2]
“Auld lang syne”, en escocés, literalmente significa “hace mucho tiempo”; aunque se traduce más adecuadamente como “por los viejos tiempos”. Se canta con la melodía popular tradicional (es decir, folclórica, y, por tanto, anónima) escocesa clasificada con el número 6294 en el catálogo de Roud.
Letra
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
Refrain (=estribillo)
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine
But we've wandered many a weary fitt
Since days of auld lang syne.
And we twa hae paidled in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Since days of auld lang syne.
Refrain
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty feire
And gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught
For auld lang syne.
Letra traducida
La traducción que sigue está directamente vertida desde el original escocés. El estribillo se repite entre estrofa y estrofa, y la letra se ha adaptado para conservar en castellano un sentido lo más cercano posible al original:
¿Deberían olvidarse las viejas amistades
y nunca recordárselas?
¿Deberían olvidarse las viejas amistades
y los viejos tiempos?
Por los viejos tiempos, amigo mío,
por los viejos tiempos:
tomaremos una copa de cordialidad
por los viejos tiempos.
Los dos hemos correteado por las laderas
y recogido las hermosas margaritas,
pero hemos errado mucho con los pies doloridos
desde los viejos tiempos.
Por los viejos tiempos, amigo mío,
por los viejos tiempos:
tomaremos una copa de cordialidad
por los viejos tiempos.
Los dos hemos vadeado la corriente
desde el mediodía hasta la cena,
pero anchos mares han rugido entre nosotros
desde los viejos tiempos.
Por los viejos tiempos, amigo mío,
por los viejos tiempos:
tomaremos una copa de cordialidad
por los viejos tiempos.
Y he aquí una mano, mi fiel amigo,
y danos una de tus manos,
y ¡echemos un cordial trago de cerveza
por los viejos tiempos!
Por los viejos tiempos, amigo mío,
por los viejos tiempos:
tomaremos una copa de cordialidad
por los viejos tiempos.
Y seguro que tú pagarás tu caña.
Y seguro que yo pagaré la mía...
Y, aun así... ¡echaremos ese trago de cordialidad
por los viejos tiempos!Auld Lang Syne

Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
