Le souvenir tout comme une berceuse
A noué le fil d'or des années d'autrefois
Quand je traînais dehors mon âme paresseuse
Et sans craindre le chaud, ni le froid

Le souvenir en moi tisse sa laine
Et je vois des soleils et des arbres tout verts
Tout est pourtant pareil mais j'ai comme une chaîne
Qui me rattache aux choses d'hier

Le souvenir est un tissu fragile
Et j'ai cousu depuis sur ses étoiles d'or
Tant de jours et de nuits auront cherché cette île
Où l'enfance m'attend comme un port

Le souvenir a des phrases muettes
Et quelquefois le soir elles se taisent pour moi,
Pareils à des cauchemars, palpitent dans ma tête
Les morceaux de rêves d'autrefois

Mon avenir au cadran de ma montre
Ecrit ses lettres d'or et me vole mes joies
Je ne vis plus dehors et ceux que je rencontre
Me demandent un peu plus chaque fois

Let The Bells Ring Out Forever
Composer(s): Dave Hewson; Brian Engel
Performer(s): The New Seekers



Tonight the whole world is waiting
Waiting for the day
Faces in the flickering firelight
Dream of loved ones far away
If hands could cross the restless ocean
Arms could cross the seven seas
Gifts of love could be given
And received eternally

So let the bells ring out forever
Let the whole world know the truth
The love we thought lay sleeping
Has come again for me and you

So let the children tell the story
How the angel brought the news
The love we thought lay sleeping
Has come again for me and you

So let the bells ring out forever
Let the whole world know the truth
The love we thought lay sleeping
Has come again for me and you

So let the bells ring out forever
All across the midnight sky
Lights that sparkle like diamonds
Shining in your eyes

So let the bells ring out forever
Let the whole world know the truth
The love we thought lay sleeping
Has come again for me and you

Le vent d'octobre
Froissait la rivière
Les pluies de ma robe
Frôlaient la bruyère
L'air était si tendre
Que j'ai voulu prendre
Ta main qu'une bague
M'avait défendu

La seule faute
Restera la mienne
J'ai oublié l'autre
Et j'ai dit "je t'aime"
Les fleurs de la lande
Aux couleurs de l'ombre
Ont tout recouvert
Et mon coeur s'est perdu

Amour de rêve
Amour de l'automne
Quand le jour se lève
C'est l'hiver qui sonne
On a pris le monde
Pour quelques secondes
Mais on ne vit pas
D'un amour défendu

Il y avait l'autre
Il y avait ses larmes
J'ai repris ma faute
J'ai jeté les armes
Les fleurs de la lande
Aux couleurs de l'ombre
Où l'on s'est aimés
Ne me reverront plus

Amour de rêve
Amour de l'automne
Quand le jour se lève
C'est l'hiver qui sonne
On a pris le monde
Pour quelques secondes
Mais on ne vit pas
D'un amour défendu

On a pris le monde
Pour quelques secondes
Mais on ne vit pas
D'un amour défendu
Mais on ne vit pas
D'un amour défendu

Let No Walls Divide
Composer(s): Martin Broones; William A. Luce
Performer(s): Doris Day



Let no walls divide your world
Pull them down today
Take the stranger by the hand
Lead him on his way

If he stumbles, help him rise
Calm his foolish pride
Give him kindness, give him love
Let no walls divide

(Let no walls divide your world)
(Let no walls divide your world)

Let each day be Christmas Day
As you go through life
Love your neighbour as yourself
Let there be no strife

Love can overflow the heart
Like a rising tide
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men
Let no walls divide

Peace on Earth, goodwill to men
Let no walls divide

Volent s'envolent nos joies farandoles
Bourgeons me redonnent lumière à l'automne
À chaque sourire tes yeux me dessinent
La vie en couleur
Ton prénom dans mon cœur

Berce tendresse que naissent et renaissent
Toujours les promesses de notre jeunesse
Comme on s'éternise le temps des cerises
Le goût du bonheur
Ton prénom dans mon cœur

Coule s'écoule plus douce, plus douce
Ma vie dans sa course que l'eau d'une source
Manège de rêve qu'il pleuve ou qu'il neige
Toujours est en fleur
Ton prénom dans mon cœur

Comme on s'éternise le temps des cerises
Le goût du bonheur
Ton prénom dans mon cœur

Coule s'écoule plus douce, plus douce
Ma vie dans sa course que l'eau d'une source
J'aurai je t'assure pour seule écriture
À ma dernière heure
Ton prénom dans mon cœur

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Gira y camina tan dulce mi vida 
La luz en el hielo y el saave destello 
El dulce sendero de mi pensamiento 
Tu nombre es eterao en mi corazon 

Huye y se alejo tu vida y mi vida 
Florece de nuevo el dulce sendero 
Y cada sonrisa es como una brisa 
Tu nombre es eterno en mi corezon 

Vuelve tu imagen tan fragil ta bella 
Y vuelven los suenos de nuestras promesas 
En mi permanece el sabor de tu risa 
Tu nombre es eterno en mi corazon

Gira y camina tan dulce mi vida 
La luz en el hielo y el suave destello 
Mi ultimo aliento llegado el momento 
Vendra con tu nombre en mi corazon

Let It Be Christmas
Composer(s): Alan Jackson
Performer(s): Alan Jackson



Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the hearts of all people
Both near and afar
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the season where ever you are
On the small country roads
Lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow

Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Let it be Christmas everywhere
With the gold and the silver, the green and the red
Christmas everywhere
In the smiles of all children asleep in their beds
In the eyes of young babies
Their first fallen snow
The elderly's memories that never grow old
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the songs that we sing
And the gifts that we bring
Christmas everywhere
In what this day means
And what we believe
From the sandy white beaches
Where blue water rolls
Snow covered mountains and valleys below

Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere

San Quentin
(Danish Version: En God Fidus - 1970)
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First release by: Johnny Cash - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
And long ago I stopped askin' why

San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man
Mister Congressman why can't you understand

San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold

Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Loreena McKennitt



Let all that are to mirth inclined
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved Son
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all
The twenty-fifth day of December
We have good cause to remember
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born
But mark how all things came to pass
The inn and lodgings filled was
That they could find no room at all
But in a straw-filled oxes stall
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all
Near Bethlehem some shepherds keep
Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went this babe to find
And as the heavenly angels told
They did our saviour Christ behold
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all
Three eastern wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
Came boldly on and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus lay
And being come unto that place
Where the blessed Messiah was
They humbly laid before his feet
Their gifts of gold and incense sweet
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all
See how the Lord of heaven and earth
Shewd himself lowly in his birth
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mind
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all
Let all your songs and praises be
Unto his heavenly majesty
And evermore amongst our mirth
Remember Christ our Saviour's birth
Let all that are to mirth inclined
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved Son

Leroy, The Redneck Reindeer
Composer(s): Joe Diffie; Steve Pippin; Stacey Slate
Performer(s): Joe Diffie; The Wacky Redneck Hillbillies



Well, you've all heard about Rudolph and his nose
But I'll tell you a Christmas tale that never has been told
Well, you may think you've heard it all but you ain't heard yet
About that crazy Christmas that the North pole can't forget

Rudolph was under the weather, he had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy, who lived out in the sticks
He said: "Santa's really counting on me and I hate to pass the buck"
Leroy said "Hey I'm on my way," and he jumped in his pick-up truck

When Leroy got to the North Pole all the reindeer snickered and laughed
They'd never seen a deer in overalls and a John Deere Tractor hat
But Santa stepped in and said: "Just calm down cause we've all got a job to do
"And like it or not, Leroy's in charge, and he's gonna be leading you"

And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night

Before that night was over, Leroy had changed their tune
He had them scootin' a hoof on every single roof, by the light of a neon moon
Santa wrapped his bag with a Dixie flag, he was having the time of his life
And you can hear him call Merry Christmas y'all, and to all of y'all a good night

And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night

He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night

Milk and honey days
Oh, San Francisco girls with
San Francisco ways

Don't try to stop me girl, you can't have your way

So you love me girl, you're just in my way
Don't try to stop me girl, I'm movin' out today
Do what you wanna do and play what you wanna play

Leise rieselt der Schnee
still und starr liegt der See
Weihnachtlich glänzt der Wald

Sorge des Lebens verhallt
freue dich, Christkind kommt bald

Bald ist heilige Nacht
Chor der Engel erwacht
Horch' nur wie lieblich es schallt
freue dich, Christkind kommt bald

San Francisco Fan
Composer(s): Sammy Mysels, Dick Sanford
Performer(s): Cab Calloway; Joe Jackson



San Francisco Fan
Loved a no go gambling man
She drank the coffee dregs 
so she could fry his eggs 
in a golden frying pan

Can Canned by command
Of the gold-rush cafe band
She gave her man her pay
He gambled it away
Playing Chinatown bandstand

Once they caught him cheating
And he knw that he was beaten
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head
Fanny when she seen 'em
Ran and jumped right in between 'em
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poisoned lead!

There lay Fanny dyin'
While a hundred men stood cryin'
And the angels up above were cryin' too

When seven horses stated draggin'
Fanny's coffin in a wagggon
Through a dusty California venue

San Francisco Fan
Gave her life to save her man
A man who wasn't worth 
a shovel full of earth
From the gra-ave of 
San Francisco Fan!

Ô douce nuit d'amour, douce nuit de bonheur
Nous attendions ce jour dans chacun de nos cœurs
Bientôt l'enfant divin naîtra dans sa splendeur
Dieu sera parmi nous, ah quelle joie, quel honneur
Joyeux petit Noël, ô douce nuit de rêve
Qui nous descend du ciel, qui s'offre à nous sans trêve
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Chantons en chœur: Joyeux Noël
Tous les petits enfants découvriront bientôt
Au pied du beau sapin tous les jouets les plus beaux
Chacun viendra heureux montrer à sa maman
Dans un élan joyeux son grand contentement
Joyeux petit Noël, ô douce nuit de rêve
Qui nous descend du ciel, qui s'offre à nous sans trêve
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Chantons en chœur: Joyeux Noël
Puis c'est le réveillon, le repas de minuit
Chacun dit sa chanson, chacun fait son récit
C'est le mot le plus grand, le plus beau, le plus doux
C'est celui en chantant: "Vive Noël chez-nous"
Joyeux petit Noël, ô douce nuit de rêve
Qui nous descend du ciel, qui s'offre à nous sans trêve
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Chantons en chœur: Joyeux Noël

San Francisco Bay Blues
Composer(s): Jesse Fuller
First recording/First release by: Jesse Fuller - 1954/1955
Covered by multiple other artists



I got the blues for my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner's gone so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

Sitting down looking from my back door
Wondering which way to go
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you

Meanwhile, in another city
Just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay 
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

Le Père Noël Noir
Composer(s): Renaud Séchan
Performer(s): Renaud



Ça f'sait pourtant un an ou deux
Que j'croyais plus du tout en lui
Pas plus que j'croyais au Bon Dieu
Ou à la s'maine des trente-cinq heures
N'empêche que, bon, ben... par acquis d'conscience
J'ai mis mes santiag' d'vant la ch'minée
Vu qu'on était l'24 décembre
P't'être que l'Père Noël se pointerait

Il est bien v'nu mais manque de bol
Dis donc, avec l'antenne de la télé
Y s'est emmêlé les guiboles
Et s'est vautré dans la ch'minée
S'est rétamé la gueule par terre
Sur ma belle moquette en parpaing
Y avait d'la suie et des molaires
Le Père Noël est un crétin!

Petit Papa Noël
Toi qu'est descendu du ciel
Retourne-s-y vite fait bien fait
Avant que j'te colle une droite
Avant que j't'allonge une patate
Qu'j'te fasse une tête au carré!

J'lui avais d'mandé comme cadeau
Une panoplie d'agent d'police
Une super boite de Mecano
Une carte du parti socialiste
M'a carrément amené peau d'balle
L'avait pas dû r’cevoir ma lettre
J'avais p't'être pas mis l'code postal
Qui correspond à sa planète

N'empêche qui y s'est pas gêné
Y m'avait déjà ruiné la moquette
Dans l'canapé s'est écroulé
Pour s'piquer la ruche à l'anisette
Y m'a descendu la bouteille
A lui tout seul le saligaud
‘vec le pinard l'a fait pareil
Le père Noël est un poivrot!

Petit Papa Noël
Toi qu'est descendu du ciel
Retourne-s-y vite fait bien fait
Avant que j'te colle une droite
Avant que j't'allonge une patate
Qu'j'te fasse une tête au carré!

L'était bourré comme un polack
Il a fait un boucan d'enfer
Il a fouillé toute la baraque
En chantant des chansons vulgaires
L'a ravagé mes plantations
Toute ma récolte de...d'herbes de Provence
Veuillez me passer l'expression
L'a gerbé d'ssus quelle élégance

S'est barré vers cinq plombes du mat'
Avec mes bottes et mon blouson
M'a chouravé aussi ma gratte
Y m'a juste laissé le boxon
Heureusement qu'ma femme était pas là
Parc'que y s's'rait barré avec
J'veux plus jamais le voir chez moi
Le Père Noël c'est un pauv' mec

Petit Papa Noël
Toi qu'est descendu du ciel
Retourne-s-y vite fait bien fait
Avant que j'te colle une droite
Avant que j't'allonge une patate
Qu'j'te fasse une tête au carré!

Avec sa hotte sur le dos
Avec sa hotte sur le dos
Il s'en venait d'Eldorado
Il s'en venait d'Eldorado
Il avait une barbe blanche
Il avait nom "Papa Gâteau"

Il a mis du pain sur ta planche
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches

Il t'a prom'née dans un landeau
Il t'a prom'née dans un landeau
En route pour la vie d'château
En route pour la vie d'château
La belle vie dorée sur tranche
Il te l'offrit sur un plateau

Il a mis du grain dans ta grange
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches

Toi qui n'avais rien sur le dos
Toi qui n'avais rien sur le dos
Il t'a couverte de manteaux
Il t'a couverte de manteaux
Il t'a vêtue comme un dimanche
Tu n'auras pas froid de sitôt

Il a mis l'hermine à ta hanche
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches

Tous les camées, tous les émaux
Tous les camées, tous les émaux
Il les fit pendre à tes rameaux
Il les fit pendre à tes rameaux
Il fit rouler en avalanches
Perles et rubis dans tes sabots

Il a mis de l'or à ta branche
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches

Tire la bell', tir' le rideau
Tire la bell', tir' le rideau
Sur tes misères de tantôt
Sur tes misères de tantôt
Et qu'au-dehors il pleuve, il vente
Le mauvais temps n'est plus ton lot

Le joli temps des coudées franches
On a mis les mains sur tes hanches
