Es la versión en inglés de la canción «¿Quién será?», interpretada originalmente
por el compositor mexicano Luis Demetrio y Pablo Beltrán Ruiz en 1953.
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Versión de Michael Bublé
La siguiente versión está interpretada por Anita Kelsey con un matiz que nos lleva al jazz. Al más íntimo.
Esta interpretación de Daniel Boaventura introduce la versión original en español, junto con la versión en lengua inglesa. Como se ve, la letra no tiene nada que ver en ambas versiones.

Randy Newman
wrote and recorded this for the Pixar movie Toy Story, and it became the theme
song for the popular franchise. In the first film, Woody, an old-fashioned toy
cowboy voiced by Tom Hanks, vies for his owner's attention when the boy
receives a modern space ranger toy named Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen.
"The song
is about the friendship of Woody and the boy, Andy," Newman told Rolling
Stone in 2017. "I asked for adjectives, they gave me 'friendly,'
'comforting.' I took them seriously. Cartoon figures have adult emotions, just
like a character in [the war film] Dunkirk."
The movie also
features a duet version with Newman and Lyle Lovett.
This
was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to
"Colors Of The Wind" from Pocahontas. Michael Bublé covered this on his 2013 album, To
Be Loved. His version peaked at #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
LYRICS
You've Got A
Friend In Me
You've got a friend
in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me
Yeah you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles and I got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you boy
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
It won't be easy, but we'll see this project through. / No va a ser fácil
pero lo llevaremos a cabo.

At the
beginning of Toy Story 3, it packs an ironic punch when played over the opening
credits. The lyrics, "As the years go by, our friendship will never
die" fade as we're shown the teenaged Andy has forgotten all about his old
toy pals, now stored in boxes. (Certainly no surprise for Newman, who once told
an audience after performing the sentimental tune, "It's a f--kin' lie, of
course, but what do you expect? It's a cartoon").
At
the end of the movie, Jessie the cowgirl and Buzz Lightyear dance to a Spanish
version by the Gipsy Kings.

Please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain

Question.- What does
"-ness" mean at the end of an adjective?
Answer.- When you add
"-ness" to an adjective, it becomes a noun.
The suffix
"-ness" means "state : condition : quality" and is used
with an adjective to say something about the state, condition, or quality of
being that adjective.
For example,
redness is a red quality, and redness means
"the quality of being red."
The redness in his eyes went
away after he got some sleep.
bitterness is a bitter condition, or "the condition of
being bitter."
The breakup caused them to feel anger and bitterness.
sleepiness means "the condition of being sleepy."
Her sleepiness made it difficult
for her to pay attention in class.
weightlessness is a weightless quality. (ingravidez, ligereza=ligero de peso)
She was happy about the weightlessness of
her new luggage.
inquisitiveness (curiosidad)means "the state of being
inquisitive (curioso)."

caused him to get into trouble sometimes.
bashfulness means "the state of being bashful (tímido)." Friendliness means
"the state of being friendly."

Not all adjectives
can be made into nouns using "-ness."
ØTypically, if an adjective is in its -er or -est form, "-ness"
cannot be added: higher and highest cannot
become higherness or highestness.
ØTypically, if an adjective is actually a participle of a verb,
"-ness" cannot be added: washed and running
cannot become washedness or runningness.
ØMost other adjectives, however can be made into nouns by adding
"ness."
There are lots of
adjectives in English that we can convert into nouns by using 'ness'. A noun
ending in 'ness' literally means the state of the original adjective.
For example, hungriness
means ‘the state of being hungry. Below are ten sentences which require a noun
ending in 'ness'.
Look at the adjectives
below and guess which one goes in each sentence. Then add 'ness' and change
