I was all right for a while I could smile for a while But I saw you last night You held my hand so tight As you stopped to say hello Oh you wished me well, you couldn't tell That I'd been...
Crying over you Crying over you Then you said so long Left me standing all alone Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying It's hard to understand But the touch of your hand Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more Than I did before But darling, what can I do Now you don't love me And I'll always be
Crying over you Crying over you Yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

Yo estaba bien por un tiempo volviendo a sonreír Luego anoche te vi tu mano me tocó y el saludo de tu voz Y hablé muy bien y tú sin saber que he estado llorando por tu amor llorando por tu amor Luego de tu adiós sentí todo mi dolor Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando No es fácil de entender que al verte otra vez yo esté llorando
Yo que pensé que te olvidé pero es verdad, es la verdad que te quiero aun más mucho más que ayer Dime tú que puedo hacer ¿No me quieres ya? Y siempre estaré llorando por tu amor llorando por tu amor Tu amor se llevó todo mi corazón Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando por tu amor
Je L'Aime English Title: Girl Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; Hugues Aufray; Vline Buggy Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Mon histoire est une histoire Comme on en voit tous les jours On croit pouvoir s'aimer pour la vie Ce que l'on a cru à jour On veut y croire pour toujours Mais déjà on se perd dans la nuit
Je l'aime Je l'aime
Quand je lui disais qu'un jour Il faudrait bien se quitter Elle semblait se détourner de moi Pourtant elle cachait ses yeux Dans ses cheveux pour pleurer Je cherche encore à savoir pourquoi
Je l'aime Je l'aime
Je ne l'oublierai jamais Je la cherche dans les rues Comme un fou Je crois entendre sa voix Et il me semble la trouver partout Partout
Je l'aime Je l'aime
Ne lui a-t-on pas appris Lorsqu'elle n'était qu'une enfant Que le temps est souvent le plus fort Les défaites de la vie Marquent un garçon pour longtemps Le saura-t-elle quand je serai mort

Three hundred pounds of hongry Down to her house every Sunday Boil them taters and butter them buns Lickin' that grease right off they thumbs Three hundred pounds Tall as she round And every pound of that body so fine I can hardly b'lieve that it's mine

Cryin' To Be Heard Composer(s): Dave Mason Performer(s): Traffic
Somebody's cryin' to be heard And there's also someone who hears every word
Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard
Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own? And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe And what it wants to know, and what it wants to know
Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been You put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known And then you realize too late the blame was all your own
Je L'Aimais Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Toute seule devant la glace Je comptais les secondes Qui passaient comme des années Mais que faire, quoi que je fasse Une seule chose au monde M'empêchait de respirer et d'exister
Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais je savais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais que jamais Jamais je ne pourrais L'oublier tout à fait Et je réalisais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Objets inanimés, avez-vous donc une âme Et peut-on vous oublier J'aimais tant mon passé Mais je me sentais femme Et le futur me gagnait Et je sentais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais je savais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais que jamais Jamais je ne pourrais L'oublier tout à fait Et je réalisais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais je savais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais Je savais que jamais Jamais je ne pourrais L'oublier tout à fait Et je réalisais Que je l'aimais je l'aimais Je l'aimais je l'aimais

Je La Connais Si Bien Composer(s): Joe Dassin; Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Joe Dassin
À l'heure qu'il est Je sais qu'elle se réveille La tête pleine de petits soucis Les enfants qu'on a puni la veille Et qu'il va falloir sortir du lit
À l'heure qu'il est Elle est devant sa glace Elle passe la main sur son cou Fait la grimace Ne se plaît pas beaucoup
Je la connais si bien Que même au bout du monde Je peux suivre de loin Son chemin quotidien
À l'heure qu'il est Je sais qu'elle est plus belle Que toutes les autres femmes de la ville Tous les hommes se retournent sur elle Et je suis le roi des imbéciles De n'être pas ce soir devant l'école Quêtant la sortie des enfants Qui caracolent Au-devant de leurs mamans
Je la connais si bien Que même au bout du monde Je peux suivre de loin Son chemin quotidien
À l'heure qu'il est Je sais qu'elle se demande Comment me chasser de son souvenir Avec ce gamin qui me ressemble Dans chaque geste, chaque sourire
À l'heure qu'il est Cette heure était la nôtre Elle ne l'est plus, c'est du passé Peut-être un autre Saura-t-il mieux l'aimer
Je la connais si bien Que même au bout du monde Je peux suivre de loin Son chemin quotidien

She's a three handed woman, a three handed woman She's right-handed, and left-handed, and under-handed too She's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you
With her left hand she'll caress you while her right hand straightens your tie Then she'll pick up the telephone call up another guy You could take her here and take her there, but you'll find before you are through You think you've been takin' her, but she's been takin' you
'Cause she's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you
Ev'ry time you take her dancin', while her arms hold you tight 'Cross your shoulder she's makin' eyes at ev'ry man in sight When she says goodnight, she tells you you're the one she's crazy about But you can bet that someone else walks in when you walk out
'Cause she's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you
Cry, Cry Again Composer(s): Dick Land - Liz Anderson
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette; Lynn Anderson
I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes All day I've tried to comfort her and louder were her cries I left her there to say her prayers and stepped outside the door The prayer I heard was one I knew I'd never heard before
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home Sometimes I'll cry and get my way and mommy's so alone She told me once that when I'm right, I never should give in So if at first I don't succeed, I'll cry cry again
I know our little girl is right and we're both in the wrong And so I've called you up tonight to ask you please come home I can't go on or stand for long the way she cried today And I can't go to sleep at night because I heard her pray
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home Sometimes I'll cry and get my way and mommy's so alone She told me once that when I'm right, I never should give in So if at first I don't succeed, I'll cry cry again
Je Hais Les Dimanches Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Florence Véran First release by: Juliette Gréco - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1968 - Wat Haat Ik De Zondag (by Conny Vandenbos) 1971 - Sunday's Not My Day (by Charles Aznavour)
Tous les jours de la semaine Sont vides et sonnent le creux Bien pire que la semaine Y a le dimanche prétentieux Qui veut paraître rose Et jouer les généreux Le dimanche qui s'impose Comme un jour bienheureux
Je hais les dimanches! Je hais les dimanches!
Dans la rue y a la foule Des millions de passants Cette foule qui coule D'un air indifférent Cette foule qui marche Comme à un enterrement L'enterrement d'un dimanche Qui est mort depuis longtemps
Je hais les dimanches! Je hais les dimanches!
Tu travailles toute la semaine et le dimanche aussi C'est peut-être pour ça que je suis de parti-pris Chéri, si simplement tu étais près de moi Je serais prête à aimer tout ce que je n'aime pas
Les dimanches de printemps Tout flanqués de soleil Qui effacent en brillant Les soucis de la veille Dimanche plein de ciel bleu Et de rires d'enfants De promenades d'amoureux Aux timides serments
Et de fleurs aux branches Et de fleurs aux branches
Et parmi la cohue Des gens, qui, sans se presser Vont à travers les rues Nous irions nous glisser Tous deux, main dans la main Sans chercher à savoir Ce qu'il y aura demain N'ayant pour tout espoir
Que d'autres dimanches Que d'autres dimanches
Et tous les honnêtes gens Que l'on dit bien-pensants Et ceux qui ne le sont pas Et qui veulent qu'on le croie Et qui vont à l'église Parce que c'est la coutume Qui changent de chemise Et mettent un beau costume Ceux qui dorment vingt heures Car rien ne les en empêche Ceux qui se lèvent de bonne heure Pour aller à la pêche Ceux pour qui c'est le jour D'aller au cimetière Et ceux qui font l'amour Parce qu'ils n'ont rien à faire Envieraient notre bonheur Tout comme j'envie le leur D'avoir des dimanches De croire aux dimanches D'aimer les dimanches Quand je hais les dimanches ...

Je Finirai Par L'Oublier Composer(s): Michael Jourdan; Helene Karaindrou Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Bien trop de choses me parlent de lui Tous les objets qui sont ici Ou la chanson que j'entends Mais qu'il ne chante plus Des riens qui font que souvent Je me sens perdue
Je finirai par l'oublier, par sourire Vous mes amis vous essayerez de lui mentir En le voyant dites-lui bien Que je suis gaie, que tout va bien Et que je n'ai besoin de rien En le voyant dites-lui bien Que très souvent dans le jardin Vous m'entendez rire de loin
Toutes les graines qu'il avait semées Sont devenues un champs de blé Demain sans lui je ferai des gerbes si jolies Que je pourrai moissonner un peu de sa vie
Je finirai par l'oublier, par sourire Vous mes amis vous essayerez de lui mentir Vous lui direz plus tard aussi Que notre enfant qui a grandi Ne parle plus jamais de lui Ne dites pas la vérité Ne dites pas qu'il nous faudrait Plus d'une vie pour l'oublier
