Love Walked In ((Dutch Version: Kom Binnen (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997)) Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin First performance by: Kenny Baker - 1938 Covered by multiple other artists
Love walked right in and drove the shadows away Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day One magic moment and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello Though not a word was spoken One look, and I'd forgot the gloom of the past One look, and I had found my future at last One look, and I had found a world completely new When love walked in with you
Momenti Si, Momenti No
((English & French Versions: The Times We've Known (by Bob Dylan); Les Bons Moments (by Charles Aznavour))
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di vita tra di noi Quante follie, quante bugie, cercate insieme La primavera poi passo', ma non l'interno fuoco in noi Ed un legame, al di la', il male e il bene Un giorno in pace un giorno in guerra Un giorno ricchi un giorno a terra Che importa a noi bastava che ci fossi io vicino a te Momenti si momenti no, ma e' coi momenti Che si fa l'eternita' Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di cose tra di noi Tramonti chiari ed allegrie, vissute insieme Ragazzi ed incoscenti noi, adulti mai pazienti poi Il fiume in secca ormai, e le improvvise piene Sto ricordando se, chi lo sa, se oggi o tanto tempo fa Chissa' perche' ti voglio qui, tu non ci sei o forse si Tiriamo i conti e si vedra' Se eran momenti o se era gia' L'eternita', l'eternita' Momenti si, momenti no
Gente Di Mare
(Dutch Version: Alles Kwijt - 1994)
Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi - Raf Riefoli - Umberto Tozzi
First performance by: Umberto Tozzi - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
A noi che siamo gente di pianura navigatori esperti di citta' il mare ci fa sempre un po' paura per quell'idea di troppa liberta' Eppure abbiamo il sale nei capelli del mare abbiamo le profondita' e donne infreddolite negli scialli che aspettano che cosa non si sa Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Gente che muore di nostalgia ma quando torna dopo un giorno muore per la voglia di andare via E quando ci fermiamo sulla riva lo sguardo all'orizzonte se ne va portandoci i pensieri alla deriva per quell'idea di troppa liberta'
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Gente corsara che non c'e' piu' gente lontana che porta nel cuore questo grande fratello blu
Al di la' del mare c'e' qualcuno che c'e' qualcuno che non sa niente di te
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Noi prigionieri in questa citta' viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri inchiodati dalla realta'... e la gente di mare va
Gente di mare che se ne va dove gli pare dove non sa Noi prigionieri in questa citta' viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri inchiodati dalla realta'... e la gente di mare va
Love Turns Winter To Spring Composer(s): Brigham Townsend - Matt Dennis Performer(s): The Four Freshmen and multiple other artists
Don't mind the weather, for when we're together Old weather man don't mean a thing If it rains or it snows, well, ev'ryone knows Love turns winter to spring
All of a sudden, the rose buds are buddin' What a miraculous thing! For like some lovely dream, with romance as theme Love turns winter to spring
I thought the cold old snow would stay and stay And stay and stay and stay But in the warmth of your wonderful smile It melted all away
I'll never wonder at lightning or thunder To me they just don't mean a thing With the song of the birds, and your lovely words Love turns winter to spring Love turns winter to spring
Genova Per Noi Composer(s): Paolo Conte Performer(s): Paolo Conte; Castellina-Pasi; Bruno Lauzi
Con quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi prima di andare a Genova che ben sicuri mai non siamo che quel posto dove andiamo non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più
Eppur parenti siamo un po' di quella gente che c'è lì che in fondo in fondo è come noi, selvatica ma che paura ci fa quel mare scuro che si muove anche di notte e non sta fermo mai
Genova per noi che stiamo in fondo alla campagna e abbiamo il sole in piazza rare volte e il resto è pioggia che ci bagna Genova, dicevo, è un'idea come un'altra Ah, la la la la la la
Ma quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi mentre guardiamo Genova ed ogni volta l'annusiamo e circospetti ci muoviamo un po' randagi ci sentiamo noi
Macaia, scimmia di luce e di follia foschia, pesci, Africa, sonno, nausea, fantasia... e intanto, nell'ombra dei loro armadi tengono lini e vecchie lavande lasciaci tornare ai nostri temporali Genova ha i giorni tutti uguali
In un'immobile campagna con la pioggia che ci bagna e i gamberoni rossi sono un sogno e il sole è un lampo giallo al parabrise...
Con quella faccia un po' così quell'espressione un po' così che abbiamo noi che abbiamo visto Genova che ben sicuri mai non siamo che quel posto dove andiamo non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più

Moment By Moment Composer(s): Lee Holdridge; Molly Ann Leiken Performer(s): Yvonne Elliman
Though our love Is like a winding road Of uncertainty I long trust your smile And all the ways you feel Touching me Moment by moment Our lifetime goes on Till one day Our somedays are gone Look at us Two drifters with a dream Scared to see it though But we're so happy now It might be beautiful If we do For moment by moment The choices we make Depend on The chances we take Oh, for moment, moment by moment Our lifetime goes on Till one day Our somedays are gone For moment, moment by moment The choices we make Depend on The chances we take Ho, moment, moment by moment
Geni E O Zepelim Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
De tudo que é nego torto Do mangue e do cais do porto Ela já foi namorada O seu corpo é dos errantes Dos cegos, dos retirantes É de quem não tem mais nada Dá-se assim desde menina Na garagem, na cantina Atrás do tanque, no mato É a rainha dos detentos Das loucas, dos lazarentos Dos moleques do internato E também vai amiúde Co'os velhinhos sem saúde E as viúvas sem porvir Ela é um poço de bondade E é por isso que a cidade Vive sempre a repetir Joga pedra na Geni Joga pedra na Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Um dia surgiu, brilhante Entre as nuvens, flutuante Um enorme zepelim Pairou sobre os edifícios Abriu dois mil orifícios Com dois mil canhões assim A cidade apavorada Se quedou paralisada Pronta pra virar geléia Mas do zepelim gigante Desceu o seu comandante Dizendo - Mudei de idéia - Quando vi nesta cidade - Tanto horror e iniquidade - Resolvi tudo explodir - Mas posso evitar o drama - Se aquela famosa dama - Esta noite me servir Essa dama era Geni Mas não pode ser Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Mas de fato, logo ela Tão coitad e tão singela Cativara o forasteiro O guerreiro tão vistoso Tão temido e poderoso Era dela, prisioneiro Acontece que a donzela - e isso era segredo dela Também tinha seus caprichos E a deitar com homem tão nobre Tão cheirando a brilho e a cobre Preferia amar com os bichos Ao ouvir tal heresia A cidade em romaria Foi beijar a sua mão O prefeito de joelhos O bispo de olhos vermelhos E o banqueiro com um milhão Vai com ele, vai Geni Vai com ele, vai Geni Você pode nos salvar Você vai nos redimir Você dá pra qualquer um Bendita Geni
Foram tantos os pedidos Tão sinceros tão sentidos Que ela dominou seu asco Nessa noite lancinante Entregou-se a tal amante Como quem dá-se ao carrasco Ele fez tanta sujeira Lambuzou-se a noite inteira Até ficar saciado E nem bem amanhecia Partiu numa nuvem fria Com seu zepelim prateado Num suspiro aliviado Ela se virou de lado E tentou até sorrir Mas logo raiou o dia E a cidade em cantoria Não deixou ela dormir Joga pedra na Geni Joga bosta na Geni Ela é feita pra apanhar Ela é boa de cuspir Ela dá pra qualquer um Maldita Geni
Molly Malone (aka Cockles And Mussles) Composer(s): James Yorkston; Edmund Forman
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder For so were her father and mother before And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
She died of a fever and no one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
Love To Keep You In My Mind Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield &The Impressions
Through loving you I seem to feel a spirit Deep inside of me Preciously guiding me My woman of all women, dear to me
Forever love me For I need you constantly And still, you hold me close indeed Helping to keep this love I need Feels so much like your touch divine
Drinking and getting high on wine Wanting to love you, all the time Just love to keep you in my mind Just love to keep you in my mind
Your face is so mysteriously kind I bet that love is Partial to your sign Somehow I do believe that you are mine Proving in a natural way Things that I could never think to say
And still, you hold me close indeed Helping to keep this love I need Feels so much like your touch divine
Drinking and getting high on wine Wanting to love you all the time Just love to keep you in my mind Just love to keep you in my mind
The magic that you secretly possess Ooh, I must confess Must be working at its best My love for you is one you'll always know Wherever we may go You will find that it is so And still, you hold me close indeed Helping to keep this love I need Feels so much, like your touch divine
Drinking and getting high on wine Wanting to love you all the time Just love to keep you in my mind I just love to keep you in my mind
I'm a dacint honest workin' man, as you might understand And I'll tell to you the reason why I left old Ireland 'Twas Molly Durkin did it when she married Tim O'Shea And to keep my heart from breakin', I sailed to Americay
Arragh, goodbye Molly Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' And my heart is nearly broken, but no longer I'll be fooled And as sure as my name is Cooney, I'm bound for Califooney And indtead of diggin' mortar I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
Well, I landed in Castle Garden, sure I met a man named Burke And he told me remain in New York until he got me work But he hasn't got it for me, so tonight I'll tell him plain For San Francisco in the morn I'm going to take a train
Well, I'm out in Californy and my fortune it is made I'm a-loaded down with gold and I throw away my pick and spade Sail home to dear old Ireland with the Castle out of sight And I'll marry Miss O'Kelly, Molly Durkin for to spite
Genesis Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Jorma Kaukonen
Time has come for us to pause And think of living as it was Into the future we must cross, must cross I'd like to go with you And I'd like to go with you You say I'm harder than a wall A marble shaft about to fall I love you dearer than them all, them all So let me stay with you So let me stay with you And as we walked into the day Skies of blue had turned to grey I might have not been clear to say, to say I never looked away I never looked away And though I'm feeling you inside My life is rolling with the tide I'd like to see it be an open ride Along with you Going along with you The time we borrowed from ourselves Can't stay within a vaulted well And living turns into a lender's will So let me come with you And let me come with you And when we came out into view And there I found myself with you When breathing felt like something new, new Along with you Going along with you

Love thy neighbor Walk up and say "How be ya Gee! But I'm glad to see ya, pal How's tricks? What's new?" Love thy neighbor Offer to share his burden Tell him to say the word "n" You will see him through Especially if there should be a beautiful girl next door Say to that girl next door don't think I'm bold But my mother told me to Love thy neighbor And you will find your labor A great deal easier Life'll be breezier If you Love Thy Neighbor
Molly Brannigan (Traditional) Performer(s): John McCormack and various other artists
Ma'am dear, did ye never hear of pretty Molly Brannigan? In troth, then, she's left me and I'll never be a man again Not a spot on my hide will a summer's sun e'er tan again Since Molly's gone and left me here alone for to die
The place where my heart was you'd aisy rowl a turnip in 'Tis large as all Dublin, and from Dublin to the Divil's glen If she'd wish'd to take another, sure she might have left mine back again And not have gone and left me here alone for to die
Ma'am dear, I remember when the milking time was past and gone We strolled thro' the meadow, and she swore I was the only one That ever she could love, but oh! the base and cruel one For all I that she's left me here alone for to die
Ma'am dear, I remember when coming home the rain began I wrapt my frieze-coat round her and ne'er a waistcoat had I on And my shirt was rather fine-drawn, but oh! the false and cruel one For all that she's left me here alone for to die
The left side of my carcase is as weak as water gruel, ma'am There's not a pick upon my bones, since Molly's proved so cruel ma'am Oh! if I had a blunder gun, I'd go and fight a duel, ma'am For sure I'd better shoot myself than live here to die
I'm cool an' determined as any salamander, ma'am Won't you come to my wake when I go the long meander, ma'am? I'll think myself as valiant as the famous Alexander, ma'am When I hear ye cryin' o'er me, "Arrah! why did ye die?"
Pour l'aveugle qui voit Pour le mendiant qui doit Des trésors à ceux qui l'ont aimé Pour le païen qui croit Pour ce Bon Dieu en croix Que tout le monde finit par oublier Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon De les rassembler
Pour l'oiseau en hiver Pour l'enfant du désert Que la pluie ne viendra pas sauver Pour celui qui se bat Pour celui qu'on abat Au nom d'une étrange liberté Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon De nous révolter
{Refrain:} Générosité pour les hommes De bonne volonté Générosité qui pardonne Aux amours blessés Pour tous ceux qui pleurent sur la terre Les déshérités Générosité quand on a tout donné
Pour les enfants du monde Pour ceux de notre monde La guerre des étoiles va commencer Déclaration de paix Déclaration d'amour Combien de temps faudra-t-il prier Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon De nous rassurer
Love The One You're With ((German Version: Bleib So Wie Du Bist (Stefan Gwildis) - 2005)) Composer(s): Stephen Stills First release by: Stephen Stills - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
If you're tired and confused And you don't remember who you're talking to Your concentration slips away Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away
And there's a rose in a fisted glove And the eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love Honey, love the one you're with (that's right) Love the one you're with
Do do do do do do do do it Do do do do do do do do it Do do do do do do do do it
Turn your heartache right into joy She's a girl and you're a boy Get it together Make it tonight You aint gonna need any more advice
And there's a rose in a fisted glove And the eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love Honey, love the one you're with (that's right) Love the one you're with
Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in My man, go ahead on Find somebogy, get somebody Love will still be right here when you get home For a night, get the love
The eagles flying with the dove And if you can't be in love With the one you love Just love the one you're with

Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Bill Anderson
The war began, and Henry left his farm Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms Now the war was over, and their life could begin Molly saw her darlin' standin' at the door again
It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly So nice to feel your arms around me, Molly
Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly Please don't cry
Maybe I should have written To let you know ahead of time But I was afraid that you'd worry If you knew that I'd gone blind
Do I hear you cryin', Molly? Please don't cry, you silly thing See what you've done? You've even brought a tear to my eye
Oh how happy I'd be if i only could see you sweet, sweet Molly Please don't cry
Where's my son? What does he look like, Molly? Everyone says he took after me Lord, I wish I could see "Come here little man Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy I guess you'll get used to me in time," won't he, Molly?
It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly So nice to feel your arms around me Molly
Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly Please don't cry, please don't cry
