If You Know What I Mean
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists



When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet house that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me

Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
And feel it one more time

Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

Here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go

Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe
It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean!

Et tes doigts délicats

If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie)
Composer(s): Buddy G. DeSylva; Joseph Meyer
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



I have got a sweetie known as Susie
In the words of Shakespeare she's a "wow"
Though all of you may know her, too
I'd like to shout right now

Suzie has a perfect reputation
No one ever saw her on a spree
Nobody knows where Susie goes
Nobody knows but me

If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl
There's none so classy
As this fair lassie
Oh! Oh! Holy Moses, what a chassis
We went riding, she didn't balk
Back from Yonkers
I'm the one that had to walk
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! What a girl!

If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl
She wears long tresses
And nice tight dresses
Oh! Oh!
What a future she possesses
Out in public
How she can yawn
In a parlour, you would think the war was on
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! What a girl!

Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart

I walked to Apollo by the bay

Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked but...)

If You Keep On
Composer(s): Goddard; Kevin Rowland
Performer(s): Adam Ant



I'll take it round
Round by round
And I will pay if you don't mind
So just say hello
Or even stare
But don't talk about me
When I'm standing there

So you run your life
And I'll run mine
Don't ask how I am
You're no friend of mine
I've made my own bed
It suits me fine
I don't know your name
But you sure know mine

I'm not hard to get on with
You'd try the patience
Of a saint

If you keep on talking to me
With all of your crude advice
I'll talk to you my friend
And it won't be nice
If you keep on doing what you're doing
I'm gonna vexed with you
If you keep on doing what you're doing
You're gonna be next

I'll take it round
Round by round
Don't want to hear bells when I hit the ground
After awhile you get used to pain
If you knock me down
I'll just get up again
Now these things I say
Sound hard for you
Well that's just because
You've got no point of view
Some people talk and never do
And that's the big difference
Between me and you

If you keep doing what you're doing......

Elijo La Locura
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Hay quien mantiene la convicción
de que la vida
es la partida
entre el azar y la comunión
con el destino
entre la ley y la invocación
del destino

Quien mira no ve ni una mitad
es evidente
que es diferente
Entre mirar con la claridad
de la cordura
y ver con la luminosidad
de la locura

Ante esa coyuntura
de la claridad y lucidez
con sensatez
elijo la locura, aleluya
elijo la locura...

Ante el intento de construir
la convivencia
en la apariencia
opongo el reto de destruir
toda la historia
las estrategias, el porvenir
y la memoria

No sólo no me quiero atener
a ser comparsa
de esta otra farsa
sino, además, rechazo el deber
del raciocinio
esa otra trampa que usa el Poder
para el dominio

Ante esa coyuntura
de la claridad y lucidez
con sensatez
elijo la locura, aleluya
elijo la locura...

If You Hadn’t Asked Me To Dance
Composer(s): Art Strauss; Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Chick Henderson



If you hadn’t asked me to dance
Would my heart be broken tonight
I’m sorry you held me so close in your arms
I’m lonely for only the thrill of your charms
You made me believe in romance
But you never gave it a chance
And if you hadn’t spoken
Would my heart be broken
If you hadn’t asked me to dance

Eleven Roses
Composer(s): Lamar Morris - Darrell McCall
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
and multiple other artists



I guess you noticed there is only eleven roses
I chose them from our garden where they grew
Take the roses and look into the mirror
And the twelfth rose will be looking back at you
There's just something about a spray of roses
To a woman they say more than man can say
After what I've done you may not keep the roses
But I just thought I would sent them anyway

There's just something...
After what I've done...

Listen to me, baby
There's something you must see
I want to be with you, gal
If you want to be with me

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain't that I'm questionin' you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I ain't got no watch
An' you keep askin' me what time it is

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Lookin' to connect
But I certainly don't want you thinkin'
That I ain't got any respect

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

You know I'd have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too
If I kept you from anything
That you really wanted to do

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain't that I'm wantin'
Anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon
It'll be too dark for you to find the door

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I work in the store on the edge of town
The daily shoppers going up and down
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night
Floors to the left and floors to the right
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Goin' up madam, going down sir
Goin' up sonny, or your little girl
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

First floor ties, second floor socks
Third floor dresses, how my head it rocks
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night
Floors to the left and floors to the right
You can keep "see you later alligator"
I got my elevator
Elevator rock, elevator roll

C'est pas que je te demande
Que faire que tu ne jamais fais
C'est seulement qu'il fait trop tard
Et il fait trop noir pour trouver la porte

Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Si non, tu dois rester la nuit

C'est pas que je te demande
De prendre part dans ce jeu
C'est seulement je n'ai pas de montre
Comme toujours faire le par contre

Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Si non, tu dois rester la nuit

Tu sais j'aurais des cauchemars
Et aussi mauvaise conscience
Si je t'empêche de faire
Ce que vraiment tu espère

Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Mais si tu dois partir, va t'en
Si non, tu dois rester la nuit

Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul
Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul

Eleonor Rigby
Etait la femme que j'ai le plus aimé dans ma vie
Je vous le dis

Quels beaux souvenirs
Ces promenades avec elle au fond de son jardin
Nous étions bien

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux qu'auparavant

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux dorénavant

Soudain le malheur
Frappa chez elle une nuit, c'était en plein hiver
Je ne pus rien faire

Quand le jour maudit
Est arrivé, elle a fermé les yeux pour toujours
Mon pauvre amour

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux qu'auparavant

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux dorénavant

Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul
Ah, je ne veux pas vivre tout seul

Eleonor Rigby
Repose ici près de chêne où l'on venait s'aimer
C'était l'été

Aujourd'hui encore
Je vais prier sur cette tombe où un nom est inscrit 
Eleonor Rigby

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux qu'auparavant

Tout me semble triste
Moins doux dorénavant

Trois fois en moins d'une heure
Tu m'as demandé l'heure
Et quand je te prends dans mes bras
Tu dis qu'il ne vaut mieux pas

Si tu as décidé
De t'en aller
Si tu crois que c'est mieux
Adieu
Mais c'est maintenant ou jamais

Quand à ma porte tu as frappé
J'ai imaginé
Que tu venais pour rester
N'en parlons plus
J'ai dû me tromper

Si tu as décidé
De t'en aller
Si tu crois que c'est mieux
Adieu
Mais c'est maintenant ou jamais

Je ne veux ni me moquer
Ni te manquer de respect
Mais si tu n'as à me donner
Qu'un amour fait de mots
Mieux vaut rentrer

Si tu as décidé
De t'en aller
Si tu crois que c'est mieux
Adieu
Mais c'est maintenant ou jamais

Mais il est tard, le feu s'éteint
Si tu veux vraiment, qu'importe
Tu connais très bien le chemin
Mais dans le noir
Trouveras-tu la porte?

Si tu as décidé
De t'en aller
Si tu crois que c'est mieux
Adieu
Mais c'est maintenant ou jamais

You got a thing about you
I just can't live without you
I really want you, Elenore, near me

There's no one like you, Elenore, really
Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better
I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?
They'll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won't watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore, love me
Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young, and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away 

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning 'til
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you?
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello?
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go, go! I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Ik sta te dromen op de brug, ik zie de bomen in het water 
Ik zie de lucht en even later voel ik de blikken in mijn rug 
Van al die mensen die daar staan en die mij streng vertoornd vragen 
"Moest jij dat echt zo nodig wagen, waarom deed jij haar zoiets aan" 

Des zondags luistert men naar 't woord en psalm zingt luide al te gader 
Maar ik sta buiten als de dader van een negatieve moord 
Vergeving en verdraagzaamheid, ja die zijn goed voor liberalen 
Van die onchristelijke kwalen is mijn familie gans bevrijd 

Ik weet het best het is mijn schuld dat ik te vroeg met je moest trouwen 
Maar voor het genoeglijk nestje bouwen had de natuur toch geen geduld 
Het was zo'n zachte nacht in mei, maar ga dat maar eens expliceren 
Aan al die dames en die heren, die meer geluk hadden dan wij 

Men zegt tot mij je bent een vod, je bent de schand van de familie 
Van onze propere domicilie, denk eens aan ons en ook aan God 
En daarbij trekt men dan een smoel alsof ik knoflook heb gegeten 
Van zo'n vent wil geen christen weten, die kwetst het eerbaarheidsgevoel 

Een wijze oom is advocaat en regelt onze huwelijkszaken 
Een hok met uitzicht op de daken, maar anders stonden we op straat 
Mevrouw hiernaast die alles ziet zit achter het raam en wringt haar handen 
Ze roept gekwetst: "Het is een schande", omdat jij moeder wordt, zij niet 

Als ik jouw kind was lieve schat dan werd ik liever niet geboren 
Dan liet ik niets meer van me horen, dan bleef ik zitten waar ik zat 
Want de familie lieve meid is met de toestand zo verlegen 
We hebben de kliek nu eenmaal tegen, want zij trouwden wel op tijd

Não me deixes mais
Vamos esquecer, tudo que passou, que ficou pra trás
Esquecer o tempo dos mau entendidos
O tempo perdido
Em pensar demais
Esquecer as horas que quase mataram
De dúvida e medo
A felicidade
Não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais

Vou te oferecer
Pérolas que vi
Chover num país
Onde não chove mais
Revolver a terra, muito além da morte
Dourar o teu corpo
Onde ele estiver
Onde eu viverei
O amor será rei, o amor será lei
E tu reinarás
Não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais

Não me deixes mais
Que eu inventarei
Palavras sem nexo
E tu compreenderas
Pra falar de amantes
Que por muitas vezes
Sentiram seu próprio coração queimar
Eu vou te contar
A história de um rei
Que morreu tão triste
Por nunca te encontrar
Não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais

Dizem que é comum
Renascer o fogo
De um velho vulcão
Que não arde mais
Também já se viu
Em terras destruidas renascer mais trigo
Que no melhor abril
E pra se inflamar
Uma tarde no ar, o vermelho e o negro
Não se casam jamais
Não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais

Não me deixes mais
Eu não vou chorar, não vou mais falar, vou ficar em paz
Quero só te viver
Dançar e sorrir
Quero te ouvir
Cantar e falar
Deixa-me existir à sombra da tua sombra
À sombra da tua mão
À sombra do teu cão
Não me deixes mais, não me deixes mais, não me deixes ...

If You Ever Leave Me
Composer(s): Richard Marx
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Vince Gill



[Vince:]
When I fall, you're my place to land
I lose my touch, you're my hands
The one I hold on to
If you run out of reason to try
I'll love enough for both you and I
I'll be the one you can run to

[Barbra:]
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through
Than to spend one day without you by my side

[Both:]
If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go
My love's inside you, even more than you know

[Barbra:]
In a world of anger and lies
I find peace in your eyes
A flame in the darkness

[Both:]
Ooh, And through all space and time
'Til every star refuses to shine

[Barbra:]
You know where my heart is
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through

[Both:]
Than to spend one day without you by my side
If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too 
Woah
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go

[Barbra:]
Where you may go

[Both:]
My love's inside you, even more than you know

And I can't remember life without you
The way it used to be
Feels like a million years away

[Vince:]
Well Hold me 'til the angels sing

[Barbra:]
Tell me every little thing

[Both:]
Promise me forever from this day

If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too 
Woah
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go

[Vince:]
Where you may go

[Both:]
My love's inside you, even more than you know

[Barbra:]
Even more than you know

[Vince:]
Even more than you know

Even more than you know
Even more than you know

Élégie À Un Rat De Cave
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Personne n'aurait cru ce cave
Prophétisant que par malheur
Mon pauvre petit rat de cave
Tu débarquerais avant l'heure
Tu n'étais pas du genre qui vire
De bord et tous on le savait
Du genre à quitter le navire
Et tu es la premièr' qui l'aies fait

Maintenant m'amie qu'on te séquestre
Au sein des cieux
Que je m'déguise en chanteur d'orchestre
Pour tes beaux yeux
En partant m'amie je te l'assure
Tu as fichu le noir au fond de nous
Quoiqu'on n'ait pas mis de crêpe sur
Nos putains de binious
On n'm'a jamais vu, faut que tu l'notes
C'est une primeur
Faire un bœuf avec des croque-notes
C'est en ton honneur
Sache aussi qu'en écoutant Bechet
Foll' gamberge, on voit la nuit tombée
Ton fantôme qui sautille en cachette
Rue du Vieux Colombier
Ton fantôme qui sautille en cachette
Rue du Vieux Colombier

Sans aucun "au revoir mes frères"
Mais on n't'en veut pas pour autant
Mine de rien tu est allée faire
Ton trou dans les neiges d'antan
Désormais, c'est pas des salades
Parmi Flora, Jeanne, Thaïs
J'inclus ton nom à la ballade
Des belles dam's du temps jadis

Maintenant m'amie qu'ta place est faite
Chez les gentils
Qu'tu as r'trouvé pour l'éternelle fête
Papa Zutty
Chauff' la place à tous les vieux potaches
Machin, Chose, et Luter et Longnon
Et ce gras du bide de Moustache
Tes fidèl's compagnons
S'il est brave, pourquoi que Dieu le père
Là-haut ferait
Quelque différence entre Saint-Pierre
Et Saint-Germain-des-Prés
De tout cœur on espère que dans ce
Paradis miséricordieux
Brill'nt pour toi des lendemains qui dansent
Où y a pas de bon Dieu
Brill'nt pour toi des lendemains qui dansent
Où y a pas de bon Dieu

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Was ich auch getan
was ich auch gesagt
glaube nicht ein Wort!

Denk nicht mehr daran!
Oft sagt man im Streit
Worte, die man dann
später tief bereut

Dabei wollt mein Herz
ganz dein eigen sein
denn ich liebe dich
lieb nur dich allein!

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!

Bleibe nah bei mir
gib mir deine Hand!
Ich erzähle dir
von dem fernen Land

wo man keinen Zorn
keine Tränen kennt
keine Macht der Welt
Liebende mehr trennt

Wo auf weiter Flur
blüht kein Herzeleid
wo ein Treueschwur
hält für Ewigkeit

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Lass mich nicht allein!
Wenn du mich verlässt
stürzt der Himmel ein

Lass uns so wie einst
stumm am Fenster stehn
traumverloren sehn
wie die Nebel drehn

Bis am Himmelszelt
voll der Mond erscheint
unsre beiden Schatten
liebevoll vereint

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!

Glaube mir ich werd'
deine Sehnsucht stillen
werd' dir jeden Wunsch
dieser Welt erfüllen

werde alles tun
was ich hab versäumt
um die Frau zu sein
die du dir erträumt

Lass mich nicht allein 
ich beschwöre dich 
lass mich nicht allein
