I'm A Stranger In My Home Composer(s): Pee Wee King; Redd Stewart; Neal Burris; Red Foley Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Red Foley
There's a stranger in my home that I've never known before And I don't know why she's there, she just walked in through the door Why she stays and suffers so is something I will never know She's a lonely soul, this stranger in my home
I'm that stranger in my home, I'm the one left in the cold I'm no longer loved or wanted, I don't have to be told I can tell by the way that I'm treated day by day That I am just a stranger in my home
Not so very long ago there were tender nights to live We were happy in our home, we had all that life could give Then one day the quarrel came, I don't know who was to blame I only know that I'm a stranger in my home
I'm that stranger in my home, I'm the one left in the cold I'm no longer loved or wanted, I don't have to be told I can tell by the way that I'm treated day by day That I am just a stranger in my home
Can a woman describe a heart that's been broken all apart Can she face her children each day and go on the same ol' way Can she brush aside the tears and go on and live the years a forgotten soul Just a stranger in her own home
Et Ça Gueule Ça Madame Composer(s): Edith Piaf - Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Edith Piaf & Jacques Pills
C'est haut comme ça... Non ... J'exagère... Mettons, comme ça... Enfin ... à peu près ça! Ça paie pas d'mine Mais nom d'un chien! Ça tient d'la place Ce bout de rien...
Et ça gueule, ça, madame On n'entend qu'elle, dans la maison Y a pas, faut qu'elle se cherche des raisons De ça, elle en fait tout un drame! Et ça gueule, ça, madame Elle me dit de toute sa hauteur "Faudrait pas croire que tu m'fais peur!" Elle est crispée, elle tape du pied! Elle sort ses griffes, elle ouvre ses yeux Ça bouge, ça crie, c'est tout furieux J'ai envie de la prendre dans mes bras Et de la serrer tout contre moi ... Mais ... ça gueule, ça, madame! Moi, ça me fait rire, mais en dedans D'abord, je suis un gentleman Et c'est plus prudent!
Pour la calmer, je cherche un truc Je me dis, voyons ... Je vais lui donner raison! Et je lui dis: "Eh ben! C'est moi qui ai tort!" "Ah! tu l'avoues!" qu'elle dit Alors ... tut-tut-tut...
Et ça re-gueule, ça, madame Même quand tout valse dans la maison Y a pas, faut qu'elle cherche des raisons De ça, elle en fait tout un drame Et ça gueule, ça, madame! Elle m'arrive là, juste à mon cur Alors, des fois, pour lui faire peur Je serre les poings, je lève la main... Elle a regard tellement surpris Qu'on dirait que ses yeux sont punis! Alors, bien sûr, j'ouvre les bras Et elle se jette tout contre moi Et ça pleure, ça, madame On cherche partout un grand mouchoir Pour y cacher son désespoir Qui fait peine à voir... Je la console et je la mouche Un peu après j'embrasse sa bouche Je la reprends tout contre moi Et je l'enferme dans mes bras... Elle se fait petite, petite... Mais alors, toute petite ... Pour un peu, ça dirait "pardon"... Oh! Mais c'est pas fier, ça, madame! C'est tout de même une satisfaction Lui faire admettre qu'elle a tort Et que je suis l'plus fort... "Jacques!!! Tu viens, oui?! ..."
I'm A Stranger Here Composer(s): Les Emmerson Five Man Electrical Band
Well Im a stranger here in this place called Earth And I was sent down here to discover the worth Of your little blue planet third from the sun Come on and show me what youve done
Weve got the aero plane, weve got the automobile Weve got sky scrapin buildings made of glass and steel Weve got synthetic food that nearly tastes real And a little white pill that makes you feel Hey! A whole lot better when you get outta bed You take one in the mornin for the long day ahead Weve got everything everybody needs to survive Surely the good life has arrived
I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies Now I dont say that youve been telling me lies But why do I hear those childrens cries
Im a stranger here, Im just looking around
I see the aero planes carrying the bombs Why, youve even found people to drop them on You know you cant keep what you take by force But its only my first impression of course
And Im a stranger here on the planet Earth
Weve got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees Weve got the birds in the sky, weve got the fish in the sea Weve got the
Oh you crazy fools dont you know you had it made You were living in Paradise But take it from one who knows Who knows the gates of Heaven can close I only pray that you take my advice Because Paradise wont come twice
Well Im a stranger here in this place called Earth And I was sent down here to discover the worth Of your little blue planet third from the sun I think Ill go back home where I come from
Et Bâiller Et Dormir (English Version: I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jeff Davis Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Eddie Constantine; Annie Cordy
Certains courent après la vie Moi la vie me court après Bien des gens font des folies Moi c'est folie de m'avoir fait Je ne me fais pas de bile Et n'occupe aucun emploi Menant une vie facile Je ne fais rien de mes dix doigts Je vais pêcher dans les ruisseaux Chasser dans les roseaux Ou cueillir les fruits mûrs Que m'offre la nature On ne m'as pas mis sur terre Pour me tuer à travailler Mais pour vivre à ma manière Et goûter à la liberté Et rêver, et sourire Et bâiller, et dormir
Je dors à même la terre C'est plus simple et c'est plus sain Et si je meurs solitaire Je n'aurais pas à aller loin Je me lave à l'eau de pluie Et me séchant au soleil Je rêve à ma tendre amie Et y'a vraiment rien de pareil Et quand presqu'à la nuit tombée On peut se retrouver C'est un si grand plaisir Qu'on reste sans rien dire
En regardant la nature On se tient tout près bien près L'un de l'autre et je vous jure Que l'on ne pense qu'à s'aimer Et rêver, et sourire Et bâiller et dormir
Je fais mon paradis sur la terre Car la paix règne au fond de mon coeur Et vraiment si c'était à refaire Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur Et rêver et sourire Et bâiller, et dormir
Nous pourrions passer notre vie À nous regarder sourire Et après Et après
Avec le temps qui s'étire Nous baillons litanies Du regret Du regret
Pour étouffer comme un reproche De nos pauvres curs qui s'accrochent Pour demain Pour demain
J'ai encore au fond de mes poches Un peu d'amour qui s'effiloche Prends ma main Prends ma main
Aller viens qu'on se fiance Pour la dernière fois Pour la seule fois Oublions nos alliances Tournons-nous vers nos 20 ans Ils sont la ma jolie Encore si près de nous et pourtant
On se retrouve sans émoi Devant l'éternel feu de bois Satisfait Satisfait
Et nos soirées se consument En des cendres d'amertumes Et on se tait On se tait
Mais tournons vites ces pages noires Elle n'est pas finie notre histoire Non jamais Non jamais
Vient dehors la nuit aide-moi Il nous faudra beaucoup y croire Désormais Désormais
I'm A Mover Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Paul Rodgers First release by: Free - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
I was born by the river, just like this river I've been moving ever since Ain't got nobody to call my own You know I've been moving since the day I was born Life is a game just made for fun You know I don't love nobody, I don't love no one
Yes, I'm a mover, baby
Following the footsteps; One fine day when I asked the wise man which was the way he said: "Follow your heart and look for yourself and come back and tell me what you have learned"
Yes, I'm a mover, baby
Went back and told him, I found me a wife Eleven children and a real good life Told him of love and there's a happy home But I need to return to that long winding road
Yes, I'm a mover, baby Gotta move on down Mmmmove on
Et... Et Composer(s): Jacques Chaumelle Performer(s): Dalida
À rouler de ville en ville J'en arrive à rêver D'un village tranquille Où je pourrai me reposer
J'achèterai une maison Avec des fleurs et du gazon Et je pourrai y installer Mon chien préféré
Et et.. Mon petit chat siamois Et et... Mon poisson chinois Et et... Mes deux chiens pékinois Et et... Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi
Je rêve d'une chaumière En bordure des bois Aux murs grimpe le lierre Une rivière coule à deux pas
Assis sur un banc dans la cour Je regarde passer les jours Heureuse de voir sous le soleil Les oiseaux du ciel
Et et... Toutes les fleurs des champs Et et... Les papillons blancs Et et... Des poules en liberté Et et... Mon chien préféré Et et et... Mon petit chat siamois Et et... Mon poisson chinois... Et et... Mes deux chiens pékinois Et et... Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi
Ce serait en quelque sorte Un petit paradis Je laisserai la porte Toujours ouverte à mes amis Pour être heureuse je n'cherche pas Sur cette terre d'autres joies Que de posséder bien à moi Un bon feu de bois
Et et... Les disques des copains Et et... Du pain et du vin Et et... Une amitié fidèle Et et... Les oiseaux du ciel Et et et... Mon petit chat siamois Et et... Mon poisson chinois Et et... Mes deux chiens pékinois Et et... Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi Et toi tout près de moi...

Estuve enamorado de ti Estuve enamorado de ti Pero ya no siento nada Ni me inquieta tu mirada como ayer Y pensar que un día te quise Como a nadie yo he querido jamás Y pensar que siempre te dije Que por nada te podría dejar Estuve enamorado de ti Estuve enamorado de ti Pero quiero ser sincero De verdad que, que no te quiero como ayer Y pensar que siempre te quise Como a nadie yo he querido jamás Y pensar que un día te dije Que por nada te podría dejar Estuve enamorado de ti Estuve enamorado de ti
I'm A Man Composer(s): Jimmy Miller; Steve Winwood Performer(s): Chicago
Well, my path is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win I ain't got no time for loving 'cause my time is all used up Just sitting 'round creating all that groovy kind of stuff
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter showing where our minds are at And relating to each other just how strong our will can be In resisting all involvement with each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone And I've never had no problems and my toilet's trimmed with gold
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo en una estúpida manía circular
En el ojos sucio del espejo un rostro exhausto me consuela con un gesto familiar Junto a tu fotografía se amontonan las colillas en el centro residual Huele a besos todavía la almohada que dormía sueños de algodón y celofán
Leo el libro de poemas que robamos en un arrebato de infección sentimental Una fina lluvia va rompiendo en los cristales largas lágrimas que empiezo a tutear Los zapatos que dejaste calzan pasos en el aire que el silencio me obliga a escuchar Viene un coche por la calle pero no lleva equipaje, tal vez sea el que venga detrás
Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo en una estúpida manía circular
I'm A Loser Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost there is one love I should never have crossed She was a girl in a million, my friend I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown My tears are falling like rain from the sky Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate I realize I have left it too late And so it's true, pride comes before a fall I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar Ao meio dia no silêncio de um lugar Sozinho e sozinho esperou Que a noite trouxesse a esperança de um sonho E a companhia do lugar Sabe o tamanho da estrada que há na frente Desaparece num mato sem fim Sem jamais entender o que alguém perdeu E perdeu e ficou assim
Assim eu sei felicidade Não posso te encontrar Eu te quero, eu te espero Mas sou eu que não posso voltar
Não não não passo a estrada velha de Santana Não não não quero o cemitério do Alecrim Cada braço de riacho engana Traz na água uma cantiga assim Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar...

Ai, ai, que bom Que bom, que bom que é Uma estrada e uma cabocla uma gente andando a pé Ai, ai, que bom Que bom, que bom que é Uma estrada e a lua branca No sertão de Canindé Artomove lá nem se sabe sié homi ou sié muié Quem é rico anda em burrico Quem é pobre anda a pé
Mas o pobre vê nas estrada O orvaio beijando as fulô Vê de perto o galo-campina Que quando canta muda de cor
Vai moiando os pés no riacho Que água fresca, Nosso Sinhô Vai oiando coisa a grané Coisas que pra mode vê O cristão tem qui andar a pé
I'm a little teapot, short and stout Here is my handle (hand on hip) Here is my spout (other arm out straight) When I get all steamed up, hear me shout Tip me up and pour me out! (as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout)
