The Times They Are A-Changin' Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Les Temps Changent (Hugues Aufray) 1965 - Er Komen Andere Tijden (Boudewijn de Groot)
Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, Congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'Il soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin' And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'

Les Temps Changent ((Adapted from: The Times They Are A-Changin' (Bob Dylan) - 1964)) ((Dutch Version: Er Komen Andere Tijden (Boudewijn de Groot) - 1965)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Hugues Aufray - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Hugues Aufray - 1965
Où que vous soyez, accourez braves gens L'eau commence à monter, soyez plus clairvoyants Admettez que, bientôt, vous serez submergés Et que si vous valez la peine d'être sauvés Il est temps maintenant d'apprendre à nager Car le monde et les temps changent
Et vous, les gens de lettres dont la plume est d'or Ouvrez tout grands vos yeux car il est temps encore La roue de la fortune est en train de tourner Et nul ne sait encore où elle va s'arrêter Les perdants d'hier vont peut-être gagner Car le monde et les temps changent
Vous, les pères et les mères de tous les pays Ne critiquez plus car vous n'avez pas compris Vos enfants ne sont plus sous votre autorité Sur vos routes anciennes, les pavés sont usés Marchez sur les nouvelles ou bien restez cachés Car le monde et les temps changent
Messieurs les députés, écoutez maintenant N'encombrez plus le hall de propos dissonants Si vous n'avancez pas, vous serez dépassés Car les fenêtres craquent et les murs vont tomber C'est la grande bataille qui va se livrer Car le monde et les temps changent
Et le sort et les dés maintenant sont jetés Car le présent bientôt sera déjà passé Un peu plus chaque jour, l'ordre est bouleversé Ceux qui attendent encore vont bientôt arriver Les premiers d'aujourd'hui, demain, seront les derniers Car le monde et les temps changent
Robert Le Diable Composer(s): Louis Arragon; Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat & Louis Arragon
Tu portais dans ta voix comme un chant de Nerval Quand tu parlais du sang jeune homme singulier Scandant la cruauté de tes vers réguliers Le rire des bouchers t'escortait dans les Halles Tu avais en ces jours ces accents de gageure Que j'entends retentir à travers les années Poète de vingt ans d'avance assassiné Et que vengeaient déjà le blasphème et l'injure
Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne
Debout sous un porche avec un cornet de frites Te voilà par mauvais temps près de Saint-Merry Dévisageant le monde avec effronterie De ton regard pareil à celui d'Amphitrite Enorme et palpitant d'une pâle buée Et le sol à ton pied comme au sein nu l'écume Se couvre de mégots de crachats de légumes Dans les pas de la pluie et des prostituées
Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne
Et c'est encore toi sans fin qui te promènes Berger des longs désirs et des songes brisés Sous les arbres obscurs dans les Champs-Elysées Jusqu'à l'épuisement de la nuit ton domaine O la Gare de l'Est et le premier croissant Le café noir qu'on prend près du percolateur Les journaux frais les boulevards pleins de senteur Les bouches du métro qui captent les passants
Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne
La ville un peu partout garde de ton passage Une ombre de couleur à ses frontons salis Et quand le jour se lève au Sacré-Coeur pâli Quand sur le Panthéon comme un équarissage Le crépuscule met ses lambeaux écorchés Quand le vent hurle aux loups dessous le Pont-au-Change Quand le soleil au Bois roule avec les oranges Quand la lune s'assied de clocher en clocher
Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne

Io sogno d'esserti vicino e di baciarti e poi svanire in questo sogno irreale lassù sento gli angeli che cantano per noi dolcemente, dolcemente è un canto fatto di feliccità

Robbin' The Cradle Composer(s): Anthony J. Bellusci Performer(s): Tony Bellus
A broken heart is why I sing this song to you So you and all the world would know Why I have let you go
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' Because I've fallen in love with you They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' Is it strange for true love to be so young?
Well, everybody says that you've got blue eyes But your eyes are really brown like mine Well, everybody says that you're unhappy But, with me, you really look so fine
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darling Because I've fallen in love with you They say Im robbin' the cradle, little darlin' Is it strange for true love to be so young?
Well, they all say that I'm outta line 'Cause I want to make you mine But what very few people know That we planned everything just so
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' Because I've fallen in love with you They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin' Is it strange for true love to be so young? Is it strange for true love to be so young?

The Time It Is Today Performer(s): The Association
Sunrise, sunset What you're born with is what you get Let your fear just pass away Then your love will fill your days I know
I need so little, yet so much Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch I can't say just what is real All I know is what I feel I know
The time it is today And we must find our way My heartbeat clearly states The answer's not in hate I once believed That love was but a dream But now I know That love's a flowing stream
They're lyin', killin' They're pushin' their rules They tell you the prophets All were just fools But I know different And I won't be used It's they that are lost It's they are confused They are confused They are confused
Sunrise, sunset What you're born with is what you get All your worries, all your fears They don't change the passing years I know
Come Sail Away Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Originally performed by: Styx Covered by various other artists
I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me On board I'm the captain so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on
I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said They said come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me
The Time Has Come Composer(s): Les Vandyke Performer(s): Adam Faith
The time has come for me to hang my head in shame The time has come for me to say that I'm to blame The time has come for love's return but it won't be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
The time has come to end this very sad affair The time has come for you and I once more to share a summers kiss But love's return won't ever be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
No more sorrows, no more cheating Our tomorrows won't be repeating the past
So here am I to ask if you can still forgive If you can love, the time has come for love to live With no regrets, but take my word that love won't be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain and deep as a river Come rain or come shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't ever bet me "Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine Happy together, unhappy together And won't it be fine Days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or we're out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine
