Il a l'émotion de notre génération
Il a des chansons et le courage de Danton
Pour lui je peux faire l'Atlantique en solitaire
Sa vie est la mienne et c'est pour ça que je l'aime
On est en romance cœur contre cœur bien branché
On est en fréquence sur la ligne de nos idées
On est en instance de vouloir tout partager
Aucun théorème et c'est pour ça que l'on s'aime
On s'écrit téléphonique
Nous les nouveaux romantiques
Actuel et nostalgique
Etonnamment romantique
Dans les boites à musique
Les Roméos s'abandonnent
C'est triste Vérone
J'aime l'amour que tu me donnes
Boul'vard périphérique
Sur nos motos héroïques
Symphonie mécanique
Nous les nouveaux romantiques
C'est un look un physique
Que Roméo me pardonne
C'est fini Vérone laisse tomber y a plus personne

La dolce vita c'est se retrouver chez nous
La romantica c'est avec toi jusqu'au bout
La passionnatta c'est les aveux les plus doux
Aucun théorème et c'est pour ça que l'on s'aime

On s'écrit téléphonique
Nous les nouveaux romantiques
Actuel et nostalgie
Etonnamment romantique
Dans les boites à musique
Les Roméos s'abandonnent
C'est triste Vérone
J'aime l'amour que tu me donnes
Boul'vard périphérique

Merry Christmas Everybody
Composer(s): Noddy Holder; Jimmy Lea
Performer(s): Slade
and multiple other artists



Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore

I'll never find another girl like you
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...

Por un resto de amor
abrió su puerta un día
y echó a volar echó a volar...
Por un resto de amor
el mundoo parecía
estar en su momento

Sé que estoy a tiempo, dijo
podré aprender podré cambiar
Por un cuarto de amor
se encerró en su vida esclava
y la birsa se hizo viento

Sara Sara
Si te vieras Sara
Un poema que olía a azahar
Mi sirena se pierde an el mar

Cambió su suerte
por el oro de su corazón
Quemo su sueño
por lo que ella creía mejor

Por un resto de amor
vendió su alma un día
quiso crecer y ser mujer
Por un loco de amor
te oí que prometías
probar el firmamento

Si no fuese tarde, sabes
podría parar podría cortar
Por un resto de amor
serías capaz, verías
de acabar con el cuento

Christmas time is here, it's a jolly good time of the year
People somehow know, with the Christmas spirit they show
Sleigh bells in the snow, everywhere you go
People having fun, 'cause it's a merry time of the year
A jolly good time of the year

'Cause we're all just like children
With our own Christmas tree
Singing yuletide carols, now that's Christmas to me
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, and a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year

Sleigh bells in the snow, everywhere you go
People having fun, 'cause it's a merry time of the year
A jolly good time of the year

We're all just like children, come that one special day
Giving gifts just like children, ain't that the Christmas way
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, have a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year
It's the only time of the year

Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year
Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year
Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year

Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told be about the fire

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match, he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there because I care

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
And it never really died)

Merry Christmas
Composer(s): Martin; Richards
Performer(s): Anne Shelton



Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
It's the old, old story, ever new
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Think of all that Christmas means for you

While singing, joy they're bringing
Bells are ringing over land and sea

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Peace on earth and goodwill to all men
Mery Christmas, oh once again

While singing, joy they're bringing
Bells are ringing, over land and sea

Merry Christmas, Merry, Merry Christmas
Peace on earth and goodwill to all men
Merry Christmas, once again

Sara, svegliati è primavera
Sara, sono le sette e tu devi andare a scuola
Sara, prendi tutti i libri e accendi il motorino
e poi attenta, ricordati che aspetti un bambino
Sara, se avessi i soldi ti porterei ogni giorno al mare
Sara, se avessi tempo ti porterei ogni giorno a far l'amore
ma Sara, mi devo laureare, e forse un giorno ti sposerò
magari in chiesa, dove tua madre sta aspettando per poter piangere un po'
Sara, tu va dritta non ti devi vergognare
le tue amiche dai retta a me lasciale tutte parlare
Sara, è stato solo amore, se nel banco no c'entri più
tu sei bella, anche sei vestiti non ti stanno più
Sara, mentre dormivi l'ho sentito respirare
Sara, mentre dormivi ti batteva forte il cuore
Sara, tu non sei più sola, il tuo amore gli basterà
il tuo bambino, se ci credi nascerà
Sara, Sara, Sara ....

Mère Noël
Composer(s): Pierre Perret
Performer(s): Pierre Perret



Quand j'écris ma p'tite bafouille
À ce bon vieux Père Noël
Je sais pas comment qu'y s'débrouille
Il est miro le paternel
Me refiler une panoplie de flic
Au lieu d'un traité d'éducation sexuelle
Ma parole y se prend les pieds dans l'arc-en-ciel
Je trouve ces procédés moches
Je ne vous le cache pas
Remettez-le dans votre sacoche
Votre képi j'en veux pas
Mais comme je m'entends mieux avec les femmes
J'ai décidé désormais
De m'adresser à la votre qu'on voit jamais
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Avez-vous une mini-jupe êtes-vous un peu sexy
Est-ce que le Père Noël vous sort dans les boîtes de nuit
Mère Noël au lieu d'un flingue
Il vaudrait mieux du bon grain
Qui réchaufferait tant le burlingue
De nos copains les Indiens
De l'eau pure à la Garonne
Dans le veau un peu moins d'hormones
Ma voisine aurait moins de moustaches que son bonhomme
Mère Noël y a des drôles de types
Surveillez leurs jouets
Qu'ils aillent dans la lune en jeep
Et qu'ils nous foutent la paix
Mais tous leurs trucs nucléaires
Quand ça va nous péter dans le blair
On entendra plus jamais Erroll Garner
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Etes-vous un peu infidèle
Et avez-vous le rouge aux joues
Quand un archange du ciel
Vous prend par le cou
Mère Noël Je suis bien petit
Mais déjà je comprends
Que la vérité travestie
Est un cadeau pour les grands
Moi je voudrais qu'un stylo
Pour vous faire un très beau dessin
Il ira pas au Prado
Mais ça ne fait rien
Je vous dessinerais un mariage
Quelque chose de bien
Un noir avec une blanche
Ça fera peur aux voisins
Et tous les oiseaux du monde
Leur chanteront cette chanson
Qu'en Alabama les cloches reprendront
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Ressemblez-vous à la Joconde
Qui a l'air de nous dire des clous
Mais sans doute avez-vous raison de sourire de tout

Sapho
Performer(s): David Alexandre Winter & Seda Aznavour



Sapho tu mords dans l'existence
A pleines dents,
A plein coeur jusqu'au sang
Sapho, tu brûles et te dépenses
Au gré de l'heure
Au gré du temps
Tu es plus folle que le vent

Sapho, tu cours après la vie
Comme si tout
Devait crouler ce soir
Sapho, tu joues
La comédie
Pour aveugler ton désespoir

Ouvre les yeux, ouvre ton âme
Je veux t'aimer à corps perdu
Sapho, ô Sapho!
Laisse tes rêves prendre flamme
Au feu léger de l'inconnu
Qui fera de toi une femme
Sapho

Sapho, la vie est sans mystère
Tu joues tes rêves et gaspille tes joies
Sapho, tu poursuis des chimères
Reviens sur terre et aime-moi

Ouvre les yeux, ouvre ton âme
Je veux t'aimer à corps perdu
Sapho, ô Sapho!
Laisse tes rêves prendre flamme
Au feu léger de l'inconnu
Qui fera de toi une femme
Sapho

Sapho, à ta désespérance
J'offre mes joies
Te tends les bras
Sapho viens contre moi
Sapho on s'aimera
Sapho

Meet Me Under The Mistletoe

Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive
The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree
Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve

There's frost on all the windows, candles burnin' bright
Stockings on the mantle, everything’s just right
Soon the house will come alive with family and friends
I'd love some time alone with you, before it all begins

Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive
The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree
Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve

It seems I've hardly seen you, we've had so much to do
With the holiday approaching, I've sure been missin' you
I can't wait 'til Christmas Morn, to hold you in my arms
I feel just like a kid again, waitin' on Santa Claus

Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive
The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree
Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve

Sou a avenida cheia
De gente rápida e feia
Sou colorida inteira, concorrida e meia
Sou diariamente a dor que me passeia
A dor que me anseia ser
Particularmente rua

Sou um sol brilhante
De um dia incandescente
Sou luz calor calante
Bruxa de um chão doente

Sou diariamente a dor que me passeia
A dor que me anseia ser
Particularmente, lua

Sou toda gente em mim
Santo demônio em mim
Deus e o diabo em mim
Céu e inferno em mim

Sou diariamente a dor que me passeia
A dor que me anseia ser
Particularmente, tua

Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born today
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
While shepherds watched their flock by night they see a bright new star
Then hear a choir of angels sing music seems to come from a far
Now Joseph and his wife Mary come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to lay the child not a single room was in sight
Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born today
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorned
In a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born
Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born today
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Allí ame a una mujer terrible
llorando por el humo siempre eterno
de aquella ciudad acorralada
por símbolos de invierno
Allí aprendí a quitar con piel el frío
y a echar luego mi cuerpo a la llovizna
en manos de la niebla dura y blanca
en calles del enigma

Eso no está muerto
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado

Allí entre los cerros tuve amigos
que entre bombas de humo eran hermanos
Allí yo tuve más de cuatro cosas
que siempre he deseado
Allí nuestra canción se hizo pequeña
entre la multitud desesperada
un poderoso canto de la tierra
era quien más cantaba

Eso no está muerto
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado

Hasta allí me siguió, como una sombra
el rostro del que ya no se veía
y en el oído me susurro la muerte
que ya aparecería
Allí yo tuve un odio, una vergüenza
niños mendigos de la madrugada
y el deseo de cambiar cada cuerda
por un saco de balas

Eso no está muerto
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado

Je suis un étranger étrange
Avec un regard qui dérange
Je vis, j'aime et j'écris
Mais je suis seul aussi
A dépenser mon or
Pour l'Amour et la mort

J'attends, j'attends, j'attends encore
Que ce soleil cogne plus fort
Je vis, j'aime et j'écris
J'ai des visions aussi
Je veux chanter encore
L'Amour et la mort
Ici

I soon come back to Santiago
Avec des notes, avec des mots
Que saudade, que soledad
Je n'dirai rien, j'verrai que toi, je resterai là
I soon come back to Santiago
Avec des notes, avec des mots
Que saudade, que soledad
Je n'dirai rien, j'verrai que toi, je resterai là

Qu'on soit d'en haut qu'on vienne d'en bas
Quand on est loin, ça compte pas
Juste la nostalgie
Et la distance aussi
On reste les plus forts
Pour l'Amour et la mort

Y a des parfums qu'on oublie pas
Et des chansons qu'on entend pas
J'ai gardé ma folie
Ma dignité aussi
Et je demande encore
L'Amour et la mort
Ici

I soon come back to Santiago
Avec mes notes, avec mes mots
Que saudade, que soledad
Je n'dirai rien, j'verrai que toi, je resterai là
I soon come back to Santiago

Que saudade, que soledad
Je n'dirai rien, j'verrai que toi, je resterai là

Mary Did You Know?
Composer(s): Buddy Greene; Mark Lowry

Mary did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God

Mary did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am
