First performance: Dorothy Lamour - 1937

The Moon of Manakoora filled the night
With magic Polynesian charms
The moon of Manakoora came in sight
And brought you to my eager arms

The Moon of Manakoora soon will rise
Again above the island shore
Then I'll behold it in your dusky eyes
And you'll be in my arms once more

The Moon of Manakoora soon will rise
Again above the island shore
Then I'll behold it in your dusky eyes
And you'll be in my arms once more

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

(I want some red roses for a blue lady)

We had a silly quarrel the other day

The Moon Is My Pillow
Composer(s): Lytell - Manning
Performer(s): Jerry Vale



The moon is my pillow a cloud is my bed
The sky is the ceiling that's over my head
The stars are the eyes of the angels above 
Who watch over me with their heavenly love

And a blanket of blue is my cover 
It's as big and as wide as the sky
And the soft evening breeze is my music 
And it sings me a sweet lullabye 

The moon is my pillow a cloud is my bed
The sky is the ceiling that's over my head
The stars are the eyes of the angels above 
Who watch over me with their heavenly love

Chloe (Song Of The Swamp)
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Neil Moret
Performer(s): Paul Whiteman & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



Chloe! Chloe!

Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh

Chloe! Chloe!

Empty spaces in his eyes
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying

Through the black of night
I've got to go where you are
If it's dark or bright
I've got to go where you are

I'll go through the dismal swampland
Searching for you
For if you are lost there
Let me be there, too

Through the smoke and flame
I've got to go where you are
For no ways can be too far
Where you are

Ain' no chains can bind you
If you live, I'll find you
Love is calling me
I've got to go where you are

Red Rose From The Blue Side Of Town
Composer(s): Betty Jean Robinson; Hank Snow
Performer(s): George Morgan



When the man from the flower shop 
rings your doorbell today
Take the red rose with the ribbon of blue
You'll find a million memories you threw away
In this red rose I'm sending to you

It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
From a lonely man you let down
I'm sending it from my world
To that new world you've found
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town

My red rose may not decorate your mansion on the hill
With your pretty flowers all around
But a thousand roses in your garden can't express the love
That's in this red rose from the blue side of town

It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
From a lonely man you let down
I'm sending it from my world
To that new world you've found
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town

Si me amaras otra vez
volvería yo a nacer
por favor te pido que
no me olvides sin querer
aunque el tiempo no me ayude más
tu pequeña siempre voy a ser
yo soy tu Diana

No se como pude amar
con un chico de tu edad
pues mi vida ya cambio
desde que llego el amor
si algún día tu te vas
no amare a nadie más
yo soy tu Diana

Oh mi vida
Oh mi amor
ven conmigo por favor
aunque el tiempo ya paso
Uh Oh Oh Oh
te quiero todavía

Ahora quiero empezar
con las fuerzas del ayer
y los dias otra vez
volveran a renacer
mi querido mi amor
perdona todo mi dolor
yo soy tu Diana
soy tu Diana
soy tu Diana
soy tu Diana

De laatste dans
die moet je mij nog schenken
De laatste dans
en dan laat ik je vrij
Er is nog kans dat jij je zult bedenken
daarom bewaar de laatste dans voor mij
Een ander kwam die ander nam
wat ik het liefste had
wat ik het meest aanbad
Maar voor je gaat en mij verlaat
kom nog eens hier en doe me een plezier

De laatste dans
die moet je mij nog schenken
De laatste dans en dan laat ik je vrij
Er is nog kans dat jij je zult bedenken
daarom bewaar de laatste dans voor mij

Jij danst met haar
dat valt me zwaar
maar ik begrijp het wel
jou hart veranderd snel
Ik heb verdriet
al huil ik niet
dans nog een keer met mij zoals welleer

De laatste dans
die moet je mij nog schenken
De laatste dans en dan laat ik je vrij
Er is nog kans dat jij je zult bedenken
daarom bewaar de laatste dans voor mij
Daarom bewaar de laatste dans voor mij

Red River Valley
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
For they say you are going away

Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

They will bury me where you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
When you're gone from the Red River Valley
For I can't live without you I know

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

Performer(s): Adriano Celentano & Paul Anka



Certo non ne ho viste mai
Belle e sexy meglio di lei
Ma a me sembra che lei è un po'
Troppo giovane per te
Ti capisco e come no?!
Se però soffrire non vuoi
Ohhh fuggi via da lei... Diana

Già io ti vedo passeggiar
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre c'è chi pensa già
Che di Diana il padre sei
Ed ogni volta dover dire
Che tua figlia lei non è
Ohhh fuggi via da lei... Diana

Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa, poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? e tu?

E tu che non ti accorgi che lei sta cuocendoti a fuoco lento
Anche se poi chi ama di più
Fra voi due è ancora lei
Finchè un giorno ti risveglierai
Come un pugile un po' suonato
Dal travuoto che ti ha lasciato...
Fuggi via da lei... Diana

Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa, poi... poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? e tu?

Tu quale non ti accorgi che non sta cuocendo soltanto me
E' a un certo punto ormai anche con te...
Forse ammetterlo tu non puoi
E sono certo che nei panni miei
Pur di stare vicino a lei
Te ne freghi degli anni tuoi
Perchè lei è... lo sai... Diana

Già io mi vedo in un caffè
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre i barman già pensan che
Che un bel giorno poi finirà
Come pugili un po' suonati
Quasi morti e innamorati...
Resta qui con noi... Diana
Qui con noi... Diana
Qui con noi... Diana

Va a ballar 
Con quell'altra ragazza, che furba l'occhiolin ti fà
Lascia far 
Se ballando con te ti stringerà nel chiaror lunar
Pero ricorda ad aspettarti
C'è l'amore mio per te
Oh caro 
Chiudi il ballo con me

Io so ben 
Che la musica puo inebriar cosi come inebria il vin
Canta pur 
Ridi e scherza ma il cuore no non puoi ad un'altra dar
Perchè ricorda ad aspettarti
C'è l'amore mio per te
Oh car 
Chiudi il ballo con me

Nulla al mondo puoi dividerci
Io son tua tu sei mio
Voglio dirti e devi credermi
Che amo solo te 

Va a ballar
Quando vuoi dove vuoi con chi vuoi fa pure quel che pare a te
Ma se lei 
Alla fin ti dirà se con lei Vuoi andare devi dirle no
Perchè ricorda ad aspettarti
C'è l 'amore mio per te
Oh caro 
Chiudi il ballo con me 

Perchè ricorda ad aspettarti
C'è l'amore mio per te
Oh caro 
Chiudi il ballo con me
Oh caro 
Chiudi il ballo con me
Oh caro .. .

Red Moon
Composer(s): John Traver;
Henri de Martini; Max Kortlander



Just another waltz beneath the red moon 
Just another kiss before we part 
Let me tell my love beneath the red moon 
Dancing with you sweetheart
Hold me in your arms
For day is dawning 
Starlight will leave us soon 
Just another waltz before the morning under the red moon 
While the violins are playing we'll be swaying to and fro 
And it seems your eyes are saying that you love me, love me so
While the music of the cello sings its haunting melody 
You can watch the red moon mellow and leave the rest to me
Just another waltz beneath the red moon 
Just another kiss before we part 
Let me tell my love beneath the red moon 
Dancing with you, sweetheart hold me in your arms 
For day is dawning
Starlight will leave us soon
Just another waltz before the morning under the red red moon
Under the red red moon

The Moon Got In My Eyes
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Out of the darkness you suddenly appeared
You smiled and I was taken by surprise
I guess I should have seen right through you
But the moon got in my eyes

I was so thrilled by the love you volunteered
I gave my heart without a compromise
I guess you don't remember, do you?
When the moon got in my eyes

I thought a kingdom was in sight
That I would have the right to claim
But with the morning's early light
I didn't have a dream to my name

You know the saying that all who love are blind
It seems that ancient adage still applies
I guess I should have seen right through you
But the moon got in my eyes

Red Light Spells Danger
Composer(s): Ben Findon
Performer(s): Billy Ocean



Red light spells danger
Can't hold out much longer
'Cause red light means warning
Can't hold out, I'm burning

No, no, no, no

You took my heart and turned me on
And now the danger sign is on
Never thought the day would come
When I would feel alone without you

And now I'm like a child again
Calling out his mama's name
You got me on a golden chain
Doin' things that I don't wanna

I can't stop running to you
I feel love coming through you
And, girl, with you beside me
Hold on, heaven guide me

Red light (Feel the red light) spells danger
(Oh, it's a danger warning)

'Cause red light (Mmm) means warning (Means warning)
Can't hold out (No, I can't hold out), I'm burning (No, no, no, no!)

I had my funk, I played around
Without a love to tie me down
I always used to kiss and run
I never wanted love to catch me

I thought I had a heart of stone
But now I'm in the danger zone
I can feel the heat is on
Soon the flames are gonna catch me

I can't stop running to you
I feel love coming through you
And, girl, with you beside me
Hold on, heaven guide me

Red light (Feel the red light) spells danger
(Oh, it's a danger warning)
Can't hold out (Can't hold out) much longer (No, no, no!)

Mood That I'm In
Composer(s): Abner Silver - Al Sherman
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists



Never dared to have your arms around me
Not that I considered it a sin
But tonight I want your arms around me
It's the mood that I'm in
Can it be the music that they're playin'
Or the magic of the violin
That intrigues my heart to obeyin'
It's the mood that I'm in
Maybe it's the cocktail that I'm sippin'
Tonight I'm so romantically inclined
So speak to me of love
In words so tender
Let the rhapsody of life begin
I could give my heart in sweet surrender
It's the mood I'm in

Chitarra Suona Più Piano
((Swedish Version: Liden (Hootenanny Singers) - 1972))
Composer(s): Nicola Di Bari - Marcello Marrocchi - Vittorio Tariciotti - Franca Evangelisti
First release by: Nicola Di Bari - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Chitarra suona più piano
qualcuno può sentire
soltanto lei deve capire
lei sola deve sapere
che sto parlando d'amore
cantano i grilli nel grano
e un passero sul ramo
nessuno dorme questa sera
nemmeno lei a quest'ora
stringe il cuscino e sospira
la luna e ferma nel cielo
la lucciola sul melo
chitarra mia suona più piano
anche se incerta la mano
suona chitarra che l'ora
l'ora di darle tutto il bene che ho nel cuore
di dirle addio per sempre o perdonare
e amarla come un altro non sa fare
l'ora di respirare un poco d'aria pura
un prato e verde quando e primavera
il sole e caldo e poi scende la sera
per noi la notte odora di fieno
io dormo sul tuo seno
dio come batte il suo cuore
la gente sogna a quest'ora
dormi chitarra che l'ora
l'ora di darle tutto il bene che ho nel cuore
di dirle addio per sempre o perdonare
e amarla come un altro non sa fare
l'ora di respirare un poco d'aria pura
un prato e verde quando e primavera
il sole e caldo e poi scende la sera
l'ora di darle tutto il bene che ho nel cuore
di dirle addio per sempre o perdonare
e amarla come un altro non sa fare
l'ora di respirare un poco d'aria pura
un prato e verde quando e primavera
il sole e caldo e poi scende la sera

Red Light Song
Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson
Performer(s): Blue



There's a red light shining way down below
And I'm sitting in this aeroplane wondering if they know
If we could all get together we could set the world alight
Let's keep it burning, burning, right through the night
For I can feel the heat
I can feel the fire
I can feel the heat getting higher and higher 
You know the world seems small when you're flying high above
And the only thing that's missing is a universal love
Just a spark is all that's needed, to start a flame so bright
Let's keep it burning, burning, right through the night
For I can feel the heat 
I can feel the fire
I can feel the heat
Getting higher and higher
True love is a-coming, I feel it in the air
And the flames are getting higher they're spreading everywhere
Bringing warmth to the people, bringing life into their life
Lets keep it burning, burning, right through the darkest night
For I can feel the heat 
I can feel the fire
I can feel the heat
Getting higher and higher

Chitarra Romana
((English/Italian Version: Roman Guitar (Lou Monte))
Composer(s): Eldo Di Lazzaro - Daniele Bruno
Performer(s): Claudio Villa
and multiple other artists



Sotto un mondo di stelle
Roma bella mi appare
Solitario è il mio cuor
Disilluso d'amor, vuol nell'ombra cantar

Una muta Fontana
E un balcone lassù
O chitarra romana accompagnami tu!

Suona, suona mia chitarra
Lascia piangere il mio cuore
Senza casa e senza amore
Mi rimani solo tu

Se la voce è un po' velata
Accompagnami in Sordina
La mia bella fornarina al balcone non c'è più

Lungotevere dorme
Mentre il fiume cammina
Io lo seguo per te
Mi trascina con se e travolge il mio cuore

Vedo un' ombra lontana
E una stella lassù
O chitarra romana accompagnami tu!

Se la voce è un po' velata
Accompagnami in Sordina
La mia bella fornarina al balcone non c'è più

O chitarra romana accompagnami tu!
