When the hard days work is over And the kye are in the byre And the horse are in the stable And the auld folk roond the fire I gang slippin through the heather Tae yon fairm ahent the hill Jist tae see ma bonnie lassie By the auld meal mill
She's got een like bramble berries She's got cheeks like mountain haws And her lips are red like cherries She's the bonniest floo'er that blaws How I weary for the lousin' How I lang tae quit the drill And gang aff tae see my lassie By the auld meal mill
Noo the auld folk oft-times wonder Whit could keep me oot sae late And they never gang tae sleep Until they hear me sneck the gate But the auld man, he jalouses When he sees me tak the hill That Im aff tae see ma lassie By the auld meal mill
Fantaisie Bleue Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Michel Fugain Performer(s): Michel Fugain
C'est bleu d'un bleu irrésistible Je passe le ciel au crible Pour trouver plus bleu impossible C'est bleu que c'est en pas possible C'est terrible Je n'y vois que du bleu
C'est bleu d'un bleu irremplaçable Je me sens incapable De trouver plus bleu incroyable C'est bleu que c'en est pas pensable Formidable Je vois la vie en bleu
C'est bleu tout au moins il me semble Enfin ça te ressemble C'est parfois si bleu que j'en tremble Mon bleu allons dans notre champ bleu Faire ensemble un gros bébé tou bleu bleu Si bleu que ça me trouble J'ai dû boire du chirouble J'y vois deux fois bleu J'y vois double
C'est bleu d'un bleu irrésistible Je passe le ciel au crible Pour trouver plus bleu impossible C'est bleu que c'est en pas possible C'est terrible Je n'y vois que du bleu
The Ashes Of My Heart Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange
The day is dying, the years are flying The while I'm sighing, because of you I'm sad and lonely, I'm thinking only of someone's eyes of blue Of someone's kisses too
Among the roses, where love reposes My heart discloses, what you should know Alone I sigh, dear For you and I, dear, once loved each other so 'Twas in the long ago
In the ashes of my heart fires of love no longer burn Still it seems I feel a start at the thought of your return 'Tho it's years since last we met and we're doomed to live apart There's a spark of hope still burning But it's buried somewhere in the ashes of my heart
Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees; The Fever Boys
First I rise, then I fall Seems like you don't want the love Of this man at all And it's sure been a lonely time Right up to the time I met you So if you take a love like mine Be tender with my love You know how easy it is to hurt me Fanny, be tender with my love 'Cause it's all that I've got And my love won't desert me
So you say to yourself, boy You're out of your brain Do you think I'm gonna stand here All night in the rain? And it's the start of a love affair The moment when I first met you And if you want I'll take you there
Be tender with my love You know how easy it is to break me Fanny, be tender with my love 'Cause it's all that I've got And my love won't forsake me
With my love Our love will seal it together Oh, with our love You made a promise You'll always love me forever
Be tender with my love You know how easy it is to break me Fanny, be tender with my love 'Cause it's all that I've got And my love won't forsake me
The Ash Grove (Llwyn On) (Traditional) Performer(s): Sarah Brightman
Yn Nyffryn Llwyn Onn draw mi welais hardd feinwen A minnau'n hamddena 'rol byw ar y don Gwyn ewyn y lli oedd ei gwisg, a disgleirwen A'r glasfor oedd llygaid Gwen harddaf Llwyn Onn A ninnau'n rhodiana drwy'r lonydd i'r banna Sibrydem i'n gilydd gyfrinach byd serch A phan ddaeth hi'n adeg ffarwelio a'r wiwdeg Roedd tannau fy nghalon yng ngofal y ferch
[Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander When twighlight is fading I pensively rove Or at the bright moontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash Grove 'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing I first met that dear one the joy of my heart! Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part] Cyn dychwel i borthladd wynebwn y tonnau Ond hyfryd yw'r hafan 'rol dicter y don Bydd melys anghofio her greulon y creigiau Un felly o'wn innau 'rol cyrraedd Llwyn Onn A thawel mordwyo wnaf mwyach a Gwenno Yn llong fach ein bwthyn a hi wrth y llyw A hon fydd yr hafan ddiogel a chryno I'r morwr a'i Wenno tra byddwn ni byw
(Still glows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain But what are the beauties of Nature to me? With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden All day I go mourning in search of my love! Ye echoes! oh tell me, where is the sweet maiden? "She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash Grove")
Calypso

Composer(s): John Denver
First release by: John Denver - 1975
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm To work in the service of life and living in search of the answers of questions unknown To be part of the movement and part of the growing part of beginning to understand Aye Calypso the places you've been to the things that you've shown us, the stories you tell Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit the men who have served you so long and so well Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee doo-dle ay ee Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you To light up the darkness and show us the way For though we are strangers in your silent world To live on the land we must learn from the sea To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell Joyful and loving in letting it be Aye Calypso the places you've been to the things that you've shown us the stories you tell Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit the men who have served you so long and so well Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee doo-dle ay ee he dee Ay-ee Hi dee oh ooo hi dee ayee hi dee oh ooo
The Army Goes Rolling Along (aka "The Caisson Song" and "The Field Artillery Song") Composer(s): Edmund L. Gruber
March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory Were the Army and proud of our name Were the Army and proudly proclaim
First to fight for the right And to build the Nations might And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done Fighting till the battles won And the Army Goes Rolling Along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Valley Forge, Custers ranks San Juan Hill and Pattons tanks And the Army went rolling along Minute men, from the start Always fighting from the heart And the Army keeps rolling along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Men in rags, men who froze Still that Army met its foes And the Army went rolling along Faith in God, then were right And well fight with all our might As the Army keeps rolling along
Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!) For where eer we go You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along
Il me disait y a qu'le look qui compte
Et moi bien sûr j'me suis pas rendu compte
Qu'il regardait par dessus mon épaule
Cette fille lui a fait le coup du sang chaud
Et moi j'avais pas la couleur de peau
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait: "let's go"
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Il rêvait tout haut
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
C'est vrai qu'ici c'est pas les paillettes
C'est pas non plus la mort qui nous guette
Derrière les grands chapeaux, les sombreros
Et moi j'les trouve trop sucrés leurs sirops
Même si l'soleil d'ici n'brille pas si haut
Pour le calypso
Besame mucho
Vertige des pays chauds
Il disait: "let's go"
J'ai besoin d'autre chose
Calypso
Rythmo latino
Danser là-bas bientôt
Le calypso, tico tico tico
Calypso
À chacun ses héros
Lui Dario Moreno
Moi Police ou Toto {calypso, una storia retro}
Moi Elton ou Bowie
Et lui Luis Mariano {calypso, amore pasado}
Moi Janis ou Carly
Et lui Gloria Lasso {calypso}
Calypso
C'est pas l'homme qu'il me faut
À chacun ses héros
Moi Police ou Toto

Hasta luego

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate satin draped frame As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry 'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same Give yourself over to absolute pleasure Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh Erotic nightmares beyond any measure And sensual daydreams to treasure forever Can't you just see it, whoo-ho-ho!

Dr. Von Scott: Ach! We've got to get out of this trap Before this decadence saps our wills I've got to be strong and try to hang on Or else my mind, may well snap And my life will be lived For the thrills
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Don't dream it, be it Brad: It's beyond me, help me, Mommy Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr

Composer(s): John Denver - Johan Verminnen
Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998
We zeilen zo rustig doorheen kabbelend water En denken nog niet aan 't gevaar van een storm We zijn zo gelukkig, de zorgen voor later We zien wel wat er ooit nog van komt We zijn moe van de vragen en van de problemen We willen dat iemand ons redt uit de nood
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent Hidiheeho...
Een groepje dolfijnen duikt voor het schip op Tot groot jolijt van de zeelui aan boord De zon aan de einder die moet straks verdwijnen En kleurt de avond plots hevig fel rood We zijn vrij als de wind, we kennen geen grenzen De wereld is groot, veel groter dan groot
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
Vaar Calypso en klief de golven Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent Hidiheeho...

Fanfan Petite Fanfan, petite Fanfan je m'ennuie
Heureusement il y a Noël Et les vacances de Pâques au Tréport Heureusement que l'arc-en-ciel Repeint les mâts des bateaux dans le port J'espère que tu t'ennuies un peu de moi Que tu n'as pas trop de copains Mais si bien sûr tu as un peu de joie Garde-m'en pour demain
Fanfan Petite Fanfan, je m'ennuie Dans mon lycée aux murs de pluie J'entends les bruits qui font les étoiles J'entends le cri du train de nuit Qui prend mon lit et le trimballe D'ici je vois comme au bout d'un tunnel Le bleu de ta robe de pastel Ô qu'il me soit bientôt donné le temps De revoir Fanfan

Calling Your Name Again
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Richard Marx
Performer(s): The Carpenters
I wake up in the dark The silence brings me to my senses I wonder where you are Then I feel the pain The pain in my heart Coz Im living without your love Im all - alone for the first time And it doesnt seem to be a dream A dream that will be over
All the words you said Werent enough to fool this heartache The memories in my head Are they enough to stop me falling apart? Coz Im living without your love Maybe it wont be the last time I dont know how much more I can take Hopeless wide-awake and here I go
Calling your name again Thinking of all that we two had before Theres got to be more This I know Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
I think of whats to come Then I turned and see your picture The tears began to fall And soon again they sense of nothing at all Coz Im living without your love Wont think that Ill make it this time Something tells me this is not the end Wish I could pretend but here I go
Calling your name again Thinking of all that we two had before Theres got to be more This I know Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
Calling your name again Remembering all the love you gave to me And how it used to be
