Valley Forge Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders
It's Christmas time at last I thought I'd get a pass But I'm stuck at Valley Forge Behind our General George He says we got to fight No matter wrong or right And so we fight the war I wonder what it's for? The General says we'll lose If we don't pay our dues But it's hard to see the foe They're hiding in the snow We're losing lots of men The quota's up again Our casualties are high But so's the sky It's cold out, cold out Sold out, sold out Hold out, hold out, but cold out Cold out, hold out Sold out, sold out Hold out, hold out, cold out Fa la,la, la, la, Fa la,la, la, la Fa la,la, la,la la,la, la, la,la,la, la, la,la,la, la, la, la

Up on the housetop reindeer pause Out jumps good old Santa Claus Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joys Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't go? Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick

Si Ça Va Pas Ce Soir Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; M. Celie; A.M. Gaspard Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Tu vois, je ne sais plus très bien, ni où tu vas, ni d'où tu viens Mais je ne t'oublierais jamais, mon compagnon, mon naufragé On est en pleine mer, en plein cur de Paris Dans ton sourire amer, j'ai tout lu, tout compris Tu t'es levé, tu m'as suivi, comme un chien perdu sans collier Sans savoir on s'est arrêté, devant un bar et je t'ai dit
Si ça va pas ce soir, vient et on ira boire Tu pourras si tu veux, vider sur le comptoir, ce qui mouille tes yeux Encombre tes tiroirs, j'dirais pas que t'as tort, j'dirais ce que tu voudras On sera ivre ou mort, on se ressemblera
On a traîné jusqu'au matin, on s'est inventé des chagrins On a été jusqu'à se mentir, pour pleurer, pour se faire plaisir Et l'on s'est inventé, d'impossible maîtresses Histoire de retrouver de nouvelles ivresses Maintenant que tu es parti, vers d'autre part, d'autres pays Il m'arrive au petit matin, de te rechanter ce refrain
Si ça va pas ce soir, vient et on ira boire Tu pourras si tu veux, vider sur le comptoir, ce qui mouille tes yeux Encombre tes tiroirs, j'dirais pas que t'as tort, j'dirais ce que tu voudras On sera ivre ou mort, on se ressemblera
Si ça va pas ce soir, vient et on ira boire Tu pourras si tu veux, vider sur le comptoir, ce qui mouille tes yeux Encombre tes tiroirs, j'dirais pas que t'as tort, j'dirais ce que tu voudras On sera ivre ou mort, on se ressemblera
Si ça va pas ce soir, vient et on ira boire Tu pourras si tu veux, vider sur le comptoir, ce qui mouille tes yeux Encombre tes tiroirs, j'dirais pas que t'as tort, j'dirais ce que tu voudras On sera ivre ou mort, on se ressemblera

On a night so long ago
By the light of one bright star
Two weary travelers far from Galilee
Took refuge in a stable
Where a little child was born
To bring the gift of love, to you and me
When the angels told the shepherds of His birth
There came a great rejoicing on the earth
And they sang, glory to God in the highest
Dawning that first Christmas morn
Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
For unto you this night a child is born
And, lo, these many years since then
That ancient star still guides us
And now again our Christmas voices ring
Blessed we are and safe at home
With loved ones her beside us
And in the still and silent night we sing
How the angels told the shepherds of his birth
And there came a great rejoicing on the earth
And they sang, glory to God in the highest
Dawning that first Christmas morn
Peace on earth and tidings of great joy
For unto you this night a child is born
... Si Ça Fait Mal ... Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Alain Lubrano Françoise Hardy; Alain Lubrano
The TV's broken and the cat is asleep there are no children in this home and I wish I see you I don't know why but I'm down... I don't know why he's OK... si tu m'arrêtes encore pour panser le mal fait sans y penser je t'inciterai à me chasser peu à peu de tes pensées même si ça fait mal... agir d'instinct gagner du terrain... ne plus lui tenir la main quand il va pas bien... où tu les passes toutes ces plombes? qui il embrasse qui il tombe? si tu m'arrêtes encore pour changer ton mal en bien prolongé j'élimin'rai mon corps étranger de ton cur désagrégé même si ça fait mal... le temps déplace les zones d'ombre et les coups d'grace en surnombre... si tu m'arrêtes encore pour panser le mal fait sans y penser je t'inciterai à me chasser peu à peu de tes pensées si tu m'arrêtes encore pour changer ton mal en bien prolongé je ferai tout pour désagréger cet amour non partagé partager... prolonger... pour changer... mes pensées... même si ça fait mal...
Under My Tree
Composer(s): Shelley Peiken; Guy Roche
Performer(s): *NSync
It's that time of year, Christmas is here
Everybody's back together again
Spreading the joy, spreading good cheer
Toasting to another year's end
So thankful for all of our friends
When the party is over, night's just begun
I promise the best part is yet to come
Slow dance together, two become one
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
The fire's aglow, wWe've got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow makes us feel close to the stars
When the carols are sung and the fire has died
The embers still burn with the love in our eyes
We cherish the moment, Savour the night
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
No one else but me
No one but you
Sweet randezvous, oh
No one but me
No one but you
When the party is over
Night's just begun
I promise the best
Is yet to come
Slow dance together
Two become one
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than make all our dreams come true
Under my tree
Such a cosy rendezvous
Just relax and enjoy the view
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Under my tree
It's that time of year, Christmas is here
Christmas is here
It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Full of love and good cheer
Sì Composer(s): Mario Panzeri; Daniele Pace; Lorenzo Pilat; Carrado Conti First performance by: Gigliola Cinquetti - 1974
Camminai un po', dietro i passi suoi E chissà perché non ridevo più L'erba si appoggiò sul vestito mio Era come se io dicessi addio Non leggevo più nei pensieri miei Ma poi si fece chiara l'atmosfera E dovevo dirgli "sì"
Sì, la mia mente disse "sì" Per paura o per amore Non me lo chiesi mai Sì, dolcemente dissi "sì" Per provare un'emozione Che non ho avuto mai E quando nel suo viso Tutto il cielo si scoprì "Sì", "sì"
Quel che accadde poi non ricordo più Forse mi svegliai o mi addormentai E nei sogni miei grandi praterie E le mani tue strette nelle mie Correvamo e poi, correvamo e poi E poi si fece chiara l'atmosfera E tornai a dirti "sì" "Sì"
Sì, dolcemente dissi "sì" Per provare un'emozione Che non ho avuto mai E quando nel suo viso Tutto il cielo si scoprì
"Sì", (all'amore ho detto "sì") (E ogni notte come allora ancora ti direi "sì") "Sì", "sì"
Un enfant est né de père inconnu Et des millions d'hommes l'ont reconnu Et l'ont adopté Un enfant est né et soudain le cours De son temps a pris un autre parcours Et l'amour est né
Il aura suffi A Jésus de naître Pour que dans la nuit Où marchaient les êtres Sans but et sans maître L'espoir prenne corps, l'espoir prenne vie Un enfant est né Et tout a changé Pour les hommes de bonne volonté
Un enfant est né de père inconnu Et des millions d'hommes l'ont reconnu Et l'ont adopté Un enfant est né messager des cieux Pour léguer sa vie comme un don précieux A l'humanité
Quand tout semble vain Et nous semble vide Que tout est chagrin Que le coeur se ride Sans lueur, sans guide Jésus vient à nous et nous tend les mains
Et depuis déjà près de deux mille ans Lorsque rien ne va au rythme du temps Pour vous et pour moi renaît cet enfant Chantons tous son avènement Oui chantons tous son avènement
Shy People Composer(s): Christopher Franke; Edgar Froese; Paul Haslinger Performer(s): Tangerine Dream; Jacquie Virgil
Down through the ages With same structures and forms Living and feeling With same troubles, can't keep on How to escape From the jungle we build How to remain There's a being fulfilled
Shy people, those are riders in the natural way Shy people, fearful creatures outside are insane You will never be part of our lives You will never be part of our lives
Shy people see through their eyes
Timeless, reflecting grey, light up sin, saw the lie Those minions of dreams not a week lets them by My father's behavior was ruining the land Sun breathes out of wild eyes people understand
Shy people, those are riders in the natural dream Shy people fearful creatures outside are insane You will never be part of our lives You will never be part of our lives you will never, you will never see through their eyes
Un Enfant De Toi Pour Noël
English Title: My Own Child For Christmas From You
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quand viendra le temps du froid et du gel J'aimerais pouvoir trouver ce cadeau Dans un berceau blanc, tel un angelot Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Rose et merveilleux tout petit et frêle Dormant innocent sous le sapin vert Pour être le coeur de notre univers Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Un enfant de toi, de nous Rêvé ensemble Conçu ensemble Fille ou garçon Quelle importance, au fond?
Sorti de tes flancs lourds et maternels Pour faire en nos coeur jaillir la lumière Sang de notre sang, chair de notre chair Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Fruit de nos espoir, envoyé du ciel Pour donner un sens au fil de nos jours Au prix de nos joies, au nom de l'amour Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Shutters And Boards Composer(s): Audie Murphy; John Turner; Scott Turner Performer(s): Charley Pride and multiple other artists
(Shutters and boards cover the windows) (Of the house where we used to live)
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we built was once filled with laughter But I changed that laughter to tears And now I live in a world without sunshine Oh, how I wish you were here
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house To take an old book from the shelf If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards 'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
One more time!
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
Two-Step 'Round The Christmas Tree Composer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Doug Crider Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Michael Martin Murphey
There's a wonderous sight and a joyful sound Every Christmas Eve in a western town Gather up the kids, all the friends and family 'Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright Tuning up a fiddle on a moonlit night Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merri-ly As they sing those carols soft and low We'll all be shouting out cotton-eyed Joe Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe You'll never get a kiss I never move that slow there's to much I could miss "Cause a western girl can't be still And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree
Red Bandanas, kelly green Silver buckles on a new blue jeans Jumpin' 'round the room to a yule tide melo-dy I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes But I'm gonna be dancing til he does Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe you'll never get a kiss I never move that slow there's to much I could miss "Cause a western girl can't be still and a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree

Hoy tengo tiempo tengo todo el tiempo del mundo para pensar en nosotros para pensar en ti y en mi y en todas las pequeñas cosas que nos rodeaban y que entonces no comprendi Y es que aun te quiero si te quiero te quiero! Y pienso en aquellas mañanas y siento aun el calor de nuestros cuerpos que entre las sabanas formaban una carcel maravillosa de la que nos resistiamos a huir Recuerdo nuestro lenguaje hecho de caricias y susurros Como te echo de menos y cuanto te quiero Si Recuerdas? Si Pero aquello acabo, como acaba todo casi sin querer, igual que el rio se pierde en el mar No, no no fue culpa tuya ni mia pero con nuestro orgullo perdimos mil cosas bellas Hoy tengo tiempo tengo todo el tiempo del mundo y cuanto mas pienso, mas te añoro y mas te deseo Y es que aun te quiero Te Quiero Te Quiero! Si Pero donde estas?

Wenn du ihr sagst alles ist vorbei wenn du nicht glaubst sie ist dir nur treu Dreh dich einmal um, schau in ihr Gesicht und du wirst seh'n, Tränen lügen nicht
Bei Tag und Nacht mit ihr war es schön Die Tür steht auf, willst du wirklich geh'n Wie ein offenes Buch ist Herz für dich und du erkennst Tränen lügen nicht
Vergoss'nen Wein den trinkt keiner mehr Ein verlor'nes Herz bleibt für immer leer Es ist nie zu spät, komm entscheide dich Reich ihr die Hand, Tränen lügen nicht
Die große Stadt lockt mit ihrem Glanz mit schönen Frau'n, mit Musik und Tanz Doch der Schein hält nie, was er dir verspricht Kehr endlich um, Tränen lügen nicht
Dreh dich noch mal um Schau in ihr Gesicht und du verstehst, Tränen lügen nicht
