UNO Y UNO, VOS Y YO
By Diego Torres, Alejandro Lerner, Ricky Martin and Patricia Sosa
(Special recording for promotion of Argentine radio station 103.1 in 1993)

Uno siempre busca
lleno de esperanza
Cuando afuera la verdad
no alcanza
Esta en uno seguir la señal

Uno no es un numero
ni una palabra
Es la puerta abierta
hacia tu alma
Donde encuentras tu lugar

Uno sos vos, uno es la gente
En uno esta la libertad
Con lo que encuentras
Con lo que piensas
En uno esta la señal
En uno esta tu señal

Uno tiene miedo
Y tiene fantasias
Juega y sufre a traves
de la vida
Uno es tan igual a vos

Uno un espejo
de tus melodias
Un camino de todos los días
Uno y uno, vos y yo

Uno se da cuenta,
uno despierta
Uno que amanece,
uno que sueña
Uno que vive,
que ama y que crea
Uno es tan igual a vos

Uno que trabaja,
uno que juega
Uno que cura,
que canta o enseña
Uno que busca lo mismo que yo
Uno y uno, vos y yo

One always searches
full of hopes
When we cannot reach outside
the truth
One that can follow the sign

One is not a word
or number
It is the door
that opens your soul
Where you find your place

One is you, one is the people
In one is the freedom
With what you find
And what you think
In one is the sign
In one is the sign

One has fears
And has fantasies
One plays and suffers at times
in life
One is just like you

One is a mirror
of your melodies
One road for all your days
One and one, you and I

One is noticing
One wakes up
One who is up at dawn
One that dreams
One who lives,
who loves and believes
One who is the same as you

One that works
One that plays
One who heals,
who sings or teaches
One who looks for the same as you
One and one, you and I

AMIGOS DEL MUNDO
(With Pedro Fernandez & Tatiana, part of the CD "Navidad En Las Americas",
and "Feliz Navidad Te Desean")

Amigos del Mundo
Llego Navidad
Y aun tengo esperanza
Que todo cambiará
El odio y la guerra
Por el amor y la paz
La ira por calma
Y el hambre por paz

Feliz Año Nuevo
Feliz Navidad
Que todos tus sueños
Los puedas lograr
El tiempo es propicio
Para dar meditar
Amar y perdonar
Tendernos los la mano

Estar todos juntos
En torno a lograr
Hacer nuevas votos
De fe y amistad
Feliz Año Nuevo, Feliz Navidad

El reina en tu alma
La paz y la mandar
Amigos del mundo

Repeat

Friends of the world
Christmas is here
And I still have hope
That everything will change
Hatred and war
For love and peace
Rage for calm
And hunger for peace

Happy New Year
Merry Christmas
That all of your dreams
You will achieve
The time is right
To meditate
To love and forgive
To join hands

And be together
And try to achieve
Making new faces
Of faith and friendship
Happy New Year, Merry Christmas

The queen in your soul
The peace and what she gives
Friends of the world

Hey Jude
Vieja emocion
Recordando cosas pasadas
Y piensa
que todo lo que te di
en realidad mi sueño era

Hey Jude
Si ahora te vas
Y has querido dejarme solo
Recuerda de todo lo que te di
En realidad un sueño queda

Tambien tu solo vas a estar

Hey Jude, por que
Al verte marchar te veo triste

Por una simple discusion
Hey Jude, tal vez
Tu vas a acabar por estar sola

Na na na na na na na...

Hey Jude
Que voy a hacer
Si entre amigos me siente solo
Ya no sé
que voy a hacer
Recuerda que todo
lo que te di
En realidad mi sueño era

Al verte marchar te veo triste

Recordando cosas pasadas
Y piensa que todo
lo que te di
En realidad mi sueño era

Hey Jude
An old thrill
Remembering things from the past
And to think
that everything I gave you
Was really my dream

Hey Jude
If you go now
And you want to leave me alone
Remember that from all I gave you
A dream remains, for real

And you will also be alone...

Hey Jude, why
I see you leave, I see you sad

Just for a simple discussion
Hey Jude, perhaps
You will end up being alone

Na na na na na na na...

Hey Jude
What am I going to do
If I feel alone among my friends
And I don't know
what I'm going to do
Remember that everything
I gave you
It was really my dream

And you will also be alone...

Hey Jude
I see you leave, I see you sad

Just for a simple discussion
Hey Jude, perhaps
You will end up being alone

Na na na na na na na...

Hey Jude
An old thrill
Remembering things from the past
And think that everything
that I gave you
It was really my dream

Yo soy joven, tu mayor
Eso ya lo sé muy bien
En las cosas del amor
No hay edad y no hay porque
No me importa que dirán
Dame una oportunidad
Oh, si ven a mí, Diana

Thrills I get
when you hold me close
Oh, Diana you're the most
I love you, you love me
Oh, Diana can't you see
That I love you with all my heart
And I hope we'll never part
Oh, please, stay by me, Diana

Mira como yo te siento
Mira como yo te siento

Toda mia, toda mia

Oh, mi vida, oh, mi amor
Abreme tu corazón
Dime que no hay nadie más
But don't you know I love you so
Solo tu me sabes dar
Lo que cura todo mi mal

But only you can take my heart
Then you and I will never part
Solo quiero darte amor
Oh, Diana stay with me
Oh, si ven a mi, Diana!

Stay by me, Diana

In matters of love
There is no age and no reason why
It’s not important what they say
Give me a chance
Oh, come to me, Diana

Thrills I get
when you hold me close
Oh, Diana you're the most

That which will cure my ills

I only want to give you love

CALIFORNIA GIRLS / HELP ME, RHONDA
(Brian Wilson Tribute, March 2001)

Well the east coast girls are hip
I really digg those styles they wear
And the southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The mid-west farmer's daughters
really make you feel alright
And the northern girls with the way they kiss
their boyfriends warm at night

(Everybody, come on now!)
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

The west coast has the sunshine
And all the girls well they get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on a Hawaii island doll
And a palm tree in the sand

I've been around this great big world
And I've seen all kinds of girls
But baby, I couldn't wait to get back to the States
All the pretty girls from this world

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be Californian girls (x2)

.........................

Well since she put me down
I've been out doin' in my head

And in the morning I just laid in bed

For you to help me, Rhonda
Help me get her out of my head

EL ULTIMO ADIOS
(Tribute to the victims of 9-11-2001)

Se quebró la calma
Y el silencio un ruido se volvió
Quedaron desnudos
Nuestra imagen y nuestro dolor
Se mezclaba el cielo
Junto con la calle y el rencor
Nos llenó de miedo
Donde fué el amor

Dime si el dolor despierta el alma
Dime si es capaz
de despertar el corazón
Ni todo el rencor,
ni la venganza
Nos va a poder calmar las ganas
De ver de nuevo
aquellas caras... dime

Dime si el dolor abre una puerta
Dime si es capaz
de despertar el corazón
Juzga tu señor a quien tu quieras
Quien iba a pensar
Que esa mañana
era el último adiós...

Nadie va a cambiarnos
Nadie nos va a hacer
perder la fé
Nadie va a callarnos
Nuestra fuerza vuelve a renacer
Hoy me siento libre
Y estamos unidos por amor
Hoy todo ha cambiado
Creo mas en ti

Señor...

Dime si el dolor despierta el alma
Dime si es capaz
de despertar el corazón
Ni todo el rencor,
ni la venganza
Nos va a poder calmar las ganas
De ver de nuevo
aquellas caras... dime

Dime si el dolor despierta el alma
Dime si es capaz
de despertar el corazón
Ni todo el rencor,
ni la venganza
Nos va a poder calmar las ganas
De ver de nuevo
aquellas caras... dime

Dime si el dolor abre una puerta
Dime si es capaz
de despertar el corazón
Juzga tu señor a quien tu quieras
Quien iba a pensar

Que esa mañana
era el último adiós...


The calmth broke
And the noisy silence returned
They were left bare
Our image and our pain
The sky mixed to together
With the street and the animosity
It filled us with fear
Where the love used to be

Tell me if the pain awakes the soul
Tell me if it's capable
of waking the heart
None of the animosity,
nor the revenge
Can calm our desires
To see those
faces again... tell me

Tell me if the pain opens a door
Tell me if it's capable
of waking the heart
Judge Lord who you want
Who would have thought
That that morning
was the last goodbye

No one is going to change us
No one is going to make u
lose the faith
No one is going to quiet us
Our strength is reborn again
Today I feel free
And we are united through love
Today everthing has changed
I believe in you more

Lord...

Tell me if the pain awakes the soul
Tell me if it's capable
of waking the heart
None of the animosity
nor the revenge
Can calm our desires
To see those
faces again... tell me

Tell me if the pain awakes the soul
Tell me if it's capable
of waking the heart
None of the animosity
nor the revenge
Can calm our desires
To see those
faces again... tell me

Tell me if the pain opens a door
Tell me if it's capable
of waking the heart
Judge Lord who you want
Who would have thought

That that morning was the last goodbye...

WHAT MORE CAN I GIVE
(Written by Michael Jackson with original intent to raise funds for those affected
by 9-11; only became available later as a download with proceeds
going to children's charities)
How many people will have to die
Before we will make a stand
How many children will have to cry
Before we do what we can

If sending your love is all you can give
To help one live
How many times can we turn our head
And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounded of a broken heart
We are one global family

Just sending your prayers
Is something you feel
Helping one heal

What have I got that I can give
What have I got that I can give
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give

Let us lay down our fears
And each out and make a pact
Sharing the love that is in our hearts
Let us bring salvation back
Just sending your love
Has the power to heal
So let's all give

What have I got that I can give
What have I got that I can give
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give

Say the words
I'll lay me down for you
Just call my name
I am your friend
Why do we make it ….does
Such pain and cruelty
We should give over and over again

What have I got that I can give
What have I got that I can give
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give

VOY A DAR TODO PARA TI
("Spanish version of What More Can I Give?)

Cuantas personas se perderán
…y nadie protestará
Cuantos pequeños van a llorar
Y nadie lo evitará
Un poco de amor
No hay más que pedir
Para vivir

Cuantas miradas esconderán
Pretendiendo no saber
Que al mundo herido
Hay que ayudar
y es de todos el deber
Con una oración y un poco de fe
Ayudaré

Voy a dar todo para ti
Voy a dar todo para ti
Ayuda y abrigo, abrazo de amigo
Amor para ti

Cuantos hermanos
que el llanto cruel
No nos deja hacer la paz
Todos unidos de corazón
Que la union nos salvará
Un poco de amor para ti, para mi
Para vivir

Voy a dar todo para ti
Voy a dar todo para ti
Ayuda y abrigo, abrazo de amigo
Amor para ti

Llamáme y yo vendré por ti
Hablame, escucharé
Por que caer en la maldad
Por que odiar así
Cuando hay tanto,
hay tanto que dar

Voy a dar todo para ti
Voy a dar todo para ti
Ayuda y abrigo, abrazo de amigo
Amor para ti

Repeat Coro 2 x

Voy a dar mi amor

How many people will be lost
…and no one will protest
How many little ones will cry
And no one can avoid it
A little love
There is no more to ask for
To live

How many glances will be hidden
Pretending not to know
That the wounded world
We have to help and it’s the responsibility of all of us
With a prayer and a little faith
I will help

I will give everything for you
I will give everything for you
Help and comfort, a hug of a friend
Love for you

How many brothers
that the cruelty called
Does not let us make peace
All of us united from the heart
And united we will be saved
A little love for you, for me
To live

I will give everything for you
I will give everything for you
Help and comfort, a hug of a friend
Love for you

Call me and I will come for you
Talk to me, I will listen
Why fall into meanness
Why hate like that
When there is so much,
there is so much to give

I will give everything for you
I will give everything for you
Help and comfort, a hug of a friend
Love for you

Repeat Chorus 2 x

I am going to give my love
