Scandale Dans La Famille (English & Italian Versions: Shame And Scandal In The Family; Un Grosso Scandalo) Composer(s): Slim Henry Brown; Huon Donaldson; Maurice Tézé Performer(s): Sacha Distel and multiple other artists
À Trinidad, tout là-bas aux Antilles À Trinidad, vivait une famille Y avait la Mama et le Papa Et le grand fils aîné Qui, à quarante ans N'était toujours pas marié
Un jour il trouva, la fille qu'il voulait Et dit à son père "Je voudrais l'épouser" Hélas mon garçon, hélas tu n'peux pas Car cette fille est ta sur Et ta mère ne l'sait pas
Oh Papa, quel malheur Quel grand malheur pour moi Oh Papa, quel scandale Si Maman savait ça
Deux ans passèrent et le garçon, un soir vint trouver son père et lui dit, plein d'espoir "La maîtresse d'école veut bien m'épouser" Mais le pauvre père prit un air accablé Mon fils tu n'peux pas tu n'peux pas faire ça Car cette fille est ta sur Et ta mère ne l'sait pas!
Oh Papa, quel malheur Quel grand malheur pour moi Oh Papa, quel scandale Si Maman savait ça
Dix ans après, il revint tout ému Et dit à son père, "Devine ce que j'ai vu!" Dans la plantation On vient d'embaucher Plus de cinquante filles Du village d'à côté
Hélas mon pauvre enfant Les Dieux sont contre toi Toutes ces filles sont tes surs Et ta mère ne l'sait pas
À bout de patience Il s'en fut écuré Raconter à sa mère toute la vérité Sa mère se mit à rire Et lui dit: "Ne t'en fais pas Ton père n'est pas ton père Et ton père ne le sait pas"
Oh Mama, quel bonheur Quel grand bonheur pour moi Oh Mama, quel scandale Si Papa savait ça

Le Petit Chemin De Pierres (English & Italian Versions: Stairway To The Sea; Scalinatèlla) Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - J. Patrick Performer(s): Dalida; Wal-Berg & His Orch.
Je n'oublierai jamais le gai trajet que fait Le petit chemin de pierres Parmi le lierre et les genets Là tu disais que tu m'aimais que tu m'aimais M'aimerais la vie entière douce prière que j'écoutais
La joie chantait dans nos cur Battant la même mesure Nos yeux brillaient d'un éclat plus chaud Que les feux du ciel La terre autour de nous deux tournait à si folle allure Que notre amour semblait surnaturel
Mais aujourd'hui je prie, je crie, je fuis, je suis Seule avec toute ma peine Pauvre rengaine que sont mes nuits
Car j'ai laissé mon cur lassé, blessé, brisé Sur notre chemin de pierres Si solitaire et délaissé Cruel mirage que ce chemin Trop beau voyage sans lendemain

Let's just make love to each other and leave the world outside Saying hello, saying I love you, saying goodbye

The First Snowfall Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
Oh the first snowfall of the winter Was a day that we all waited for When it drifted to and fro Why you should've seen the snow It was near seven feet or more By the old barn door
Oh the first snowfall of the winter What a joy for a boy to behold In each house you'll find a sleigh That was waiting for this day And of course, down the road a hill For each Jack and Jill
Every winter breeze that scurries Sends the snowflakes up in flurries It's the good old sentimental season when Folks put runners on their surreys They forget about their worries And a man becomes a boy once again
Oh, the first snowfall of the winter Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear Under wintry skies of gray It was snowing hard all the day And it showed no signs of stoppin' Every kid with eyes a-poppin' Knew he'd soon be belly-whoppin' on his ear
On the first snowfall of the winter Oh, that first snowfall of the year (The first snowfall of the year) Oh, that first snowfall of the year

Say you, say me Say it for always That's the way it should be Say you, say me Say it together, nat'rally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream People in the park palyin' games in the dark And what they played was a masquerade But from behind the walls of doubt, a voice wa crying out
Say you, say me Say it for always That's the way it should be Say you, say me Say it together, nat'rally
As we go down life's lonesome highway Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two That helping hand, someone who understands And when you feel you've lost your way You've got someone there to say, "I'll show you"
Say you, say me Say it for always That's the way it should be Say you, say me Say it together, nat'rally
So you think you know the answers Oh, no. Well, the whole world's got ya dance that's right I'm tellin' you It's time to start believing Oh, you Believe in who you are; you are a shining star
Say you, say me Say it for always That's the way it should be Say you, say me Say it together, nat'rally
