Je Te Tendrai Les Bras Composer(s): Hubert Giraud; Pierre Dorsey Performer(s): Dalida
Tant que ton cur battra pour moi Tant qu'un soufle d'amour en toi vivra Que je lirais au fond de toi je te tendrai les bras Tant que tes yeux diront la joie Tant que tes rêves ne seront qu'à moi Que ta pensée m'appartiendra je te tendrai les bras
Pour un amour sans lendemain Ne te joue pas de moi comme à plaisir Tu ne peux changer ton destin il est gravé dans l'avenir
Tant que mon cur battra pour toi Tant qu'un souffle de vie me restera Pour te serrer tout contre moi je te tendrai les bras
Ivre de toi ensorcelée je donnerai pour toi plus que ma vie Plus que ma vie pour protéger ce grand amour qui nous unit
Tant que tu créeras des matins Qui me feront des jours ensoleillés Que tu sauras m'émerveiller de ton bonheur qui fait le mien Chaque jour que Dieu fait et tant que je vivrai Mes deux bras je tendra Je tendrai vers toi

Je T'En Veux D'Être Belle Composer(s): P. Saka; J. Renard Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Je t'en veux d'être belle Car souvent je me dis Peut-on rester fidèle Lorsque l'on est aussi jolie? Et rien n'est plus cruel D'entendre dire partout Que tu es la plus belle! Comment ne pas être jaloux? Et c'est pourquoi lorsque tu es dans mes bras Je ne suis plus très sûr de moi Je, je pense à tous ceux qui t'ont regardée Et que tu n'as pas oubliés Je t'en veux d'être belle Tu es à la merci D'une aventure nouvelle Qui changerait toute ma vie Je t'en veux d'être belle Je sais que mon bonheur Avec toi est bien frêle Et c'est bien ça qui me fait peur Je, je voudrais savoir combien va durer L'espoir que j'ai de te garder Mais, mais si tu répondais à mon Amour Et si tu m'aimais pour toujours Si tu n'aimais que moi Je ne t'en voudrais plus crois-moi Au, au contraire je serais fier de toi De toi, de toi

And in feeling I think of you And in breathing I think of you And in seeing I think of you And in living I think of you
I Can't Quit Her Composer(s): Al Kooper; Irwin Levin Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
I can't quit her She's got a hold on me She got her hand on my soul I can't quit her 'cause I see her face everywhere I go In the city streets, in the country fields In the back of my mind I know it can't be real For a woman to possess all the tenderness she had But the hands of time keep tickin' on my back 'cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me Yeah, I know
I can't quit her 'cause on my darkest night she comes on like a light I can't quite her Try as I may, with all my might She had a woman's touch And a young girls eyes and in seconds flat I was pros'lytized turned around and made to feel sweet love But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'cause it's been so long since I had her back beside me
True love is somethin' ev'ry young boy knows about and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some I was a young boy 'till I held her in my arms now I find that I'm strung out behind some
I can't quit her She got her hand on me she got a hold on my soul 'cause I your face everywhere I go I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah I know You know I see your face Everywhere I go! I need her...I need the little girl

Je Te Veux Toute À Moi
Adapted from: I Wanna Be Your Man - 1963
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; P. Barouh
Performer(s): Jean-Claude Berthon; Les Lionceaux; Les Chaussettes Noires
Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Si j'avais eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
J'aurais bravé le feu, les orages
La mort et les grands froids
Pour que tu saches avec quelle rage
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Mais dans ce monde où tout va si vite
Je te veux toute à moi
Autour de nous, on s'aime, on se quitte
Je te veux toute à moi
Je veux t'aimer, je veux te défendre
Je veux parler de toi
Sans éviter les mots les plus tendres
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Il faudra bien que la vie se passe
Au rythme de nos joies
Car c'est inscrit dans le temps qui passe
Je te veux toute à moi
Je n'ai pas eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi

There once was a peddler passing by His cart with fruit was laden high And as he drove along he cried Across the village green
Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-zoo) Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
His daughter sat beside him there She was young and she was fair All glowing with a beauty rare A maid of sweet sixteen
A young lad beckoned from the door He bought some fruit and then bought more His longing eyes were begging for The lovely maid to stay
He sought and found her at the mart He wooed and won the maiden's heart And now ten children ride the cart Across the village green
Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo) Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
Now if there is a moral here Such fruitfulness should make it clear So shut the window when you hear A peddler passing by

I Can't Make You Love Me Composer(s): Michael Barry Reid; James Allen Shamblin First release by: Bonnie Raitt - 1991 Covered by multiple other artists
Turn down the lights turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
I'll close my eyes then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
Je Te Veux Composer(s): T. Brown; L. Chris; M. Jones Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Je suis le fils de l'homme et de la femme Ça m'étonne je croyais être d'avantage Quelque chose dans les yeux une flamme Je lève la tête, je brûle les nuages Mais je te veux Mais je te veux
Je suis résigné à toujours marcher Parmi ces gens qui ne me ressemblent pas J'ignore tout de l'amour de l'amitié Excepté tout le mal qu'on évite pas Mais je te veux Mais je te veux
Voici la folle qui danse sans faire de mouvement Elle m'a vu je sais ce qu'elle va vous dire Tu es pâle, tu as les yeux transparents Elle fait tomber la mer au fond de son rire Mais je la veux Mais je la veux
Ton sens des larmes demeure, n'écoute pas Je n'ai pas de larmes, je n'ai pas de sang, oh non Je n'ai qu'un amour qui ne s'arrête pas Je suis allongé sur mon lit je t'attends Car je te veux Car je te veux
Oh, je te veux Je t'aime Je t'aime encore Je suis sur mon lit Et je t'attends Car je te veux Baby Je t'attends
Tired Angels Composer(s): Felix Pappalardi - Gail Collins Performer(s): Mountain
Put their shoulders to the big wheel, work their fingers to the bone Take their pleasures in the future, put it down and bring it home Walk around into the sundown, looking for an honest man Gentle people seeing too much, aching to be wat they can
Angels, tired angels Tired down inside their shoes All wanting grace They live again rhythym lines on the king of Gondor's face Children, gentle children Gentle leaving to the wars They found their place And live again their rhythym lives on the king of Gondor's face
Sinking down into the lame words, overflowing with their sorrows Praying for it all to cease fire, saturated with desire Standing up to all the brave men, laughing hollow at the day's end Walking back and give a handshake, this is just another bad break

Je Te Suivrai Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Y a plusieurs mètres d'eau dans les rues de ma peine Plusieurs tonnes de boue dans le flot de mes veines La rivière charrie les fils du téléphone Avec encore dedans mes appels qui résonnent La pluie a délavé tous les mots que j'invente Les oiseaux ont crié pour pas que tu m'entendes Aux endroits où tu étais y a des morceaux de glace Et des arbres en travers pour ne pas que je passe Où tu iras je te suivrai Je te suivrai...
Même quand tu auras fermé ta centaine de portes Même quand tu auras pleuré pour les enfants d'un autre Même quand tu auras éteint ce qui brûlait le mieux Même si tu pars plus loin que ne portent mes yeux Où tu iras je te suivrai Je te suivrai...
Même au plus profond du silence Je t'entends encore me dire On s'approche du ciel Nos livres fermés se balancent J'veux pas tomber tout seul, tomber tout seul J'veux pas tomber tout seul Si tu veux j'aimerai même ceux qui te touchent Ceux qui ont le goût de toi encore plein la bouche Même ceux que tu hais, même ceux que aimes Il y a tellement d'eau dans les rues de ma peine... Où tu iras je te suivrai
Je t'entends encore me dire On s'approche du ciel J'veux pas tomber tout seul, tomber tout seul J'veux pas tomber tout seul Il a neigé partout aux rebords des fenêtres De cette ville floue de ne plus te connaître Encore combien d'hivers passeront sous ma porte Avant qu'un jour j'ose dire que j'aime quelqu'un d'autre
He Walks Like A Man ((Italian Version: È L'uomo Per Me (Mina) - 1964)) Composer(s): Diane Hilderbrand First release by: Jody Miller - 1963
He walks like a man And he talks like a man He schemes like a man and whenever he can He dreams like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love
He's strong like a man When he's wrong, he's a man When he's right he's a man 'Cause he never ran He'll pride like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love
They say in every man You'll find a little boy And every now and then When he's happy or blue That little boy comes shining through
He walks like a man He talks like a man He lives like a man and since our love begun He gives like a man But it's the little boy It's the little boy in him I love (He walks like a man) But it's the little boy I love (He talks like a man) But it's the little boy I love (He gives like a man) But it's the little boy... I... love...
I Can't Live Without Your Love Composer(s): Kenneth Gamble; Leon Huff Performer(s): Teddy Pendergrass
Baby, I, oh, I I can't live without your love See, I'm smilin' on the outside, while I'm just cryin' on the inside Facin' a world without your love
See, the truth has come to light You're the reason nothing's right Alone again tonight All just because of some silly fight
I, oh, oh, oh, I I don't wanna give without your love, foolishly I suffer I only pretend, oh, just to fool my friend Don't know what to do with myself without your love
There's a wounded empty space Nothing can replace that love That love, that love, that love that I lost You're my life, you mean so much to me
And I can't go it alone This winding, this winding road is so long So pack it up, baby, get it together Let's start all over again
I, oh, oh, oh, I I don't wanna live without your love While I'm smiling on the outside, I'm just cryin' on the inside Facin' a world without your love
See, I'm fightin' sleepless nights Tears have washed all hope from sight Oh, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be so right If I had you right here with me tonight If you only reach out your hand and save a heartbroken man I can't live
