Mon Enfance Dutch, Italian, & South-African Titles: Heel Mijn Jeugd; La Mia Infanzia; My Kinderdae Composer(s): Jacques Brel Originally performed by: Jacques Brel Covered by various other artists
Mon enfance passa De grisailles en silences De fausses révérences En manque de batailles L'hiver j'étais au ventre De la grande maison Qui avait jeté l'ancre Au nord parmi les joncs L'été à moitié nu Mais tout à fait modeste Je devenais indien Pourtant déjà certain Que mes oncles repus M'avaient volé le Far West
Mon enfance passa Les femmes aux cuisines Où je rêvais de Chine Vieillissaient en repas Les hommes au fromage S'enveloppaient de tabac Flamands taiseux et sages Et ne me savaient pas Moi qui toutes les nuits Agenouillé pour rien Arpégeais mon chagrin Au pied du trop grand lit Je voulais prendre un train Que je n'ai jamais pris
Mon enfance passa De servante en servante Je m'étonnais déjà Qu'elles ne fussent point plantes Je m'étonnais encore De ces ronds de famille Flânant de mort en mort Et que le deuil habille Je m'étonnais surtout D'être de ce troupeau Qui m'apprenait à pleurer Que je connaissais trop J'avais L'il du berger Mais le cur de l'agneau
Mon enfance éclata Ce fut l'adolescence Et le mur du silence Un matin se brisa Ce fut la première fleur Et la première fille La première gentille Et la première peur Je volais je le jure Je jure que je volais Mon cur ouvrait les bras Je n'étais plus barbare
Get Over It Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley Performer(s): The Eagles
I turn on the tube and what do I see A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point their crooked little fingers at everbody else spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of that Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
Get over it Get over it All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it
You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if they gave you some cash The more I think about it, Old Billy was right Let's kill all the lawyers - kill 'em tonight You don't want to work; you want to live like a king But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get over it Get over it If you don't want to play, then you might as well split Get over it, get over it
It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down Complain about the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it Get over it All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it
Get over it Get over it It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get over it

Touch that dial - Turn me on Start me like a motor, make me run Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it Turn that dial all the way Shoot me like a rocket into space Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it
You want me to come alive Just flick the switch into overdrive You and me can let it be Ready-Aim-Fire
Touch that dial - Turn me on Start me like a motor, make me run Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it Turn that dial all the way Shoot me like a rocket into space Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it Lovin' every minute of it

Mon Émouvant Amour English & Italian Title: Quiet Love; Mio Commovente Amor Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tu vis dans un silence éternel et muet Où je traduis tes regards et lis dans tes sourires Interprétant les mots que tes mains veulent dire Dans ton language étrange qui semble être un ballet
Un émouvant ballet que tu règles pour moi De gestes façinants qui ne sont jamais les mêmes Et quand du bout des doigts tu murmures je t'aime J'ai l'impression parfois comme entendre ta voix

The one, the one, the one, the one The ones we used to play so long ago

Love's Old Sweet Song Composer(s): G. Clifton Bingham - James Molloy Performer(s): Nelson Eddy and multiple other artists
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall When on the world the mists began to fall Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng Low to our hearts love sang an old sweet song And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam Softly it wove itself into our dream
Just a song at twilight When the lights are low And the flickering shadows Softly come and go Though the heart be weary Sad the day and long Still to us at twilight comes love's old song Comes love's old sweet song
Even today we hear love's song of yore Deep in our hearts it dwells forever more Footsteps may falter, weary grows our way Still we can hear it at the close of day So till the end when life's dim shadows fall Love will be found the sweetest song of all
Just a song at twilight When the lights are low And the flickering shadows Softly come and go
Though the heart be weary Sad the day and long Still to us at twilight comes love's old song Comes love's old sweet song
Mon Credo Composer(s): André Pascal; Paul Mauriat Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu; Paul Mauriat
Oui je crois, qu'une vie ça commence avec un mot d'amour Oui je crois, que la mienne commence à partir de ce jour Oui je crois, à tous les mots d'amour que tu inventes pour moi Oui je crois, tout ce que tu me dis parce que je crois en toi
Aussi vrai qu'avec un peu d'amour on fait tourner la terre Aussi vrai que tes yeux sont ma seule lumière Aussi vrai que ma vie tient au fil de nos joies
Oui je crois, que mes jours n'attendaient qu'un mot d'amour de toi Je crois, que tout l'amour du monde est là quand tu es près de moi J'y crois chaque fois que tu m'ouvres tes bras
Oui je crois, qu'on peut bâtir un monde avec des mots d'amour Oui je crois, que nous ferons ce monde à nous deux chaque jour Oui je crois, qu'il nous faudra mêler nos larmes et nos joies Mais je crois, que j'aimerai la vie si je vis avec toi
Aussi vrai qu'avec un peu d'amour on fait tourner la terre Aussi vrai que tes yeux sont ma seule lumière Aussi vrai que ma vie tient au fil de nos joies
Oui je crois, que mes jours n'attendaient qu'un mot d'amour de toi Je crois, que tout l'amour du monde est là quand tu est là Je crois à chaque vérité qui me viendra de toi...

Non Hai Più ((French Version: Tu N'as Plus (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Calabrese - Charles Aznavour - Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Abbiamo io e te folleggiato qua e là Ma è tempo di andar con più tranquillità Si veste ogni nuova avventura Di non attendibilità E più di una brutta figura La fuga ti risparmierà Non hai più, non hai più La prestanza del tempo che fu Non ti resta una volta di più Che sperare... Non hai più, non hai più La superbia tua prima virtù E, mancando l'ardore che fu Ah, che vuoi fare? Non hai vitalità Sei più triste che mai E non c'è sazietà In quel poco che dai Se ne è andata l'età Delle tua facoltà senza pari Non hai più, non hai più Puoi sognare se vuoi pure tu I ricordi potrai tutt'al più Raccontare Non hai più, non hai più Tante arie da mettere sù Vieni amico, contemplati In uno specchio Non hai più, non hai più Il tuo corpo da "attenta-virtù" E gli sguardi non fremono più Da parecchio Sei quel frutto che ormai Non si raccoglierà Perché spremerlo ormai Per quel poco che dà Ma riposati và E poi campa da povero vecchio Non hai più, non hai più I delitti di lesa virtù Buonanotte all'ardore che fu ... Ed al secchio! Non hai più, non hai più Ma sta' calmo, ragionaci sù Oramai non attaccano più Le promesse Non hai più, non hai più Che da essere papà tutt'al più Queste cose, non ciò che vuoi tu Sono ammesse Sulla fronte che hai Più spaziosa che mai Spunteranno le insegne di regalità Che purtropo però solo ai cervi Natura concesse Non hai più, non hai più Che i discorsi del tempo che fu Stringi femmine come vuoi tu, trepidanti Ma ne devi pagar le virtù In contanti
Lovesick Blues ((French Version: Je Ne Pense Qu'à L'amour (Eddy Mitchell) - 1963)) Composer(s): Irving Mills - Cliff Friend First release by: Elsie Clark - 1922 Covered by multiple other artists
I got a feelin' called the blues Since my baby said good-bye Lawd I don't know what l'll do All I do is sit and sigh That last long day she said goodbye Well Lawd, I thought I would cry She'd do me, she'd do you She's got that kind of lovin' Lawd, I love to hear her When she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream I hate to think it's all over I lost my heart it seems I've grown so used to you somehow But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal That's whats the matter with me I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal But she don't care about me
Lawd I tried and tried to keep her satisfied But she just wouldn't stay So now that she is leavin' This is all I say ...
