Sarbacane
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
First release by: Francis Cabrel - 1989
Covered by: Johnny Hallyday - 2007



On croyait savoir tout sur l'amour
Depuis toujours
Nos corps par cœur et nos cœurs au chaud
Dans le velours
Et puis te voilà bout de femme
Comme soufflée d'une sarbacane
La ciel a même un autre éclat
Depuis toi

Les hommes poursuivent ce temps
Qui court depuis toujours
Voilà que t'arrives
Et que tout s'éclaire sur mon parcours
Pendue à mon cou comme une liane
Comme le roseau de la sarbacane
Le ciel s'est ouvert par endroits
Depuis toi

Pas besoin de phrases ni de longs discours
Ça change tout dedans, ça change tout autour
Finis les matins paupières en panne
Lourdes comme les bouteilles de butane
J'ai presque plus ma tête à moi
Depuis toi

Pas besoin de faire de trop longs discours
Ça change tout dedans, ça change tout autour
Pourvu que jamais tu ne t'éloignes
Plus loin qu'un jet de sarbacane
J'ai presque plus ma tête à moi
Depuis toi

Alors te voilà bout de femme
Comme soufflée d'une sarbacane
Le ciel s'est ouvert par endroits
Depuis toi
Oh depuis toi...

Bah-dah-dah-dum
Bah-dah-dah-bah-dah-dah-dah-lah-dah-lah-lah-dah-lah-bah

Light Tahitian skies
And the starlit waters
Linger in your eyes

Come with me when moonbeams
Light Tahitian skies, oh those skies
And the starlit waters
Linger in your... Oh! Pagan!

Pagan love song

And now I sing

We ornament with good intentions and promise that we believe
To talk from the heart to each other, and open our eyes
Keep it inside, the symbol of Christmas day

Holds it inside, the wonder of Christmas day

Milagro milagro es la esperanza, milagro nuestro es la navidad

Saratoga
Composer(s): Nina Simone; Eunice Waymon
Performer(s): Nina Simone



Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
My love is far away

Oh Saratoga, will you smile
And dream with me a while
My love is far away

Love, it isn't fair
When you're not there, it isn't fair
The time, where has it gone
When you're alone, it has no end

Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
Time waits and then it's gone

Love, it isn't fair
When you're not there, it isn't fair
And time, where has it gone
When you're alone, it has no end

Oh Saratoga, will you dream
I know how love must seem
Time waits and then it's gone

Time waits and then it's gone

Margo Sylvia; The Tune Weavers



Merry, merry Christmas baby, though you're with someone new
Thought I'd send a card to say 
Wish this joyous holiday would find me close to you-ou-ou

Merry, merry Christmas baby and a Happy New Year to-o-o
'twas a Christmas Eve we met, a holiday I won't forget
For that's when we fell in love

I still remember the gift you gave so-o-o-o dear
This love I hold within my heart from year to year though we're apart

Have a merry, merry Christmas baby and a Happy New Year to-o-o
I am hoping that you'll find a love as true as mine
To last a lifetime through

Sarah's At The Window
Performer(s): Johnny Logan



Sarah´s lonely reflection 
close to making connections 
She´s running away 
Sarah´s hiding rejection 
She dreams of nothing but deception 
a brighter new day 

Sarah´s at the window 
pretending not to cry 
staring at a rainbow 
and clouds that pass her by 

No one knows her pain 
Her tears are lost behind the rain 
Secrets of the heart 
She says they´re a part of the price of love 

It´s no surprise after all the lies 
that something´s died in Sarah´s sad blue eyes 
Yeah Sarah, sweeter than morning hold on, 
another day is dawning 
It´s a brighter new day 

Sarah´s at the window 
although her eyes are red 
promising tomorrow to the demons in her head 

Sarah, don´t cry

Merry Texas Christmas, you all!
Merry Texas Christmas, you all!
May your days be sunny and bright
May your hearts be happy and light
Merry Texas Christmas, you all!

We have no jingle bells or sleigh

We’d wish that we could send to you
A gushing oil well or two
And say “Hi There” and wishing you a…

Merry Texas Christmas, you all!
>From Fort Worth and Dallas too
May your days be sunny and bright
May your hearts be happy and light
Merry Texas Christmas, you all!

You all…You all

Sarah In The Summer
Composer(s): Jimmy Ibbotson
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Wild Jimbos



I've driven this road as a stranger
I've driven this road as a friend
I've driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist
And I'm drivin' on it once again
It might be cold and long and lonely
But she's waitin' on the other side
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
And joyfully I ride
Joyfully I ride

And I've climbed through Georgetown, to Silver Plume
The tunnel at Loveland's cold
The lake on the left is a little lower
Route 9 is the Breckenridge road
There's a sign right below Copper Mountain
Tellin' whether Independence runs free
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
And that's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be

In the evening shadow of Red Butte
Up the lane from the Slaughter House Bridge
The first cabin the moonlight strikes
As it crests the cleft in Hunter Crick Ridge
Up from between Old Red and Smuggler
Rising high on a piano bench there
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
And what lies between beware
What lies between, beware

Oh, when the red sandstone sentinels
Rising high on either side
As I follow the Eagle Valley
Through the canyon where the Saints reside

In Mt. Snowmass' massive majesty south
And east out of Glennywood Springs
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
Where the Roaring River sings
The Roaring River sings

I've driven this road as a stranger
I've driven this road as a friend
I've driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist
And I'm drivin' on it once again
It might be cold and long and lonely
But she's waitin' on the other side
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
And joyfully I ride
Joyfully I ride

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Performer(s): *NSync



Merry Christmas Happy Holidays
Merry christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
We've been waiting all year for this night
When the snow is glistening on the trees outside
And all the stockings are hung by the fire side
Waiting for Santa to arrive and all the love will show
'Cause everybody knows it's Christmas time
And all the kids will see gifts under the tree
It's the best time of year for the family
It's a wonderful feeling, feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love and everything's okay
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Bells are ringing it's time to scream and shout (scream and shout)
And everybody's playing cause school's out
Celebrating the special times we share happiness
'Cause love is in the air and all the love will show
'Cause everybody knows it's Christmas time
And all the kids will see the gifts under the tree
It's the best time of year for the family
It's a wonderful feeling, feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love and everything's okay
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays
No matter what your holiday it's a time to celebrate
Put your worries aside and open up your mind
See the world right by your side, it's Christmas time
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays
It's a wonderful feeling, feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love and everything's okay
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out 
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Would not take the garbage out!
She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans
Candy the yams and spice the hams
And though her daddy would scream and shout
She simply would not take the garbage out
And so it piled up to the ceilings
Coffee grounds, potato peelings
Brown bananas, rotten peas
Chunks of sour cottage cheese
It filled the can, it covered the floor
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones
Drippy ends of ice cream cones
Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel
Gloopy glumps of cold oatmeal
Pizza crusts and withered greens
Soggy beans and tangerines
Crusts of black burned buttered toast
Gristly bits of beefy roasts...
The garbage rolled on down the hall
It raised the roof, it broke the wall...
Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs
Globs of gooey bubble gum
Cellophane from green baloney
Rubbery blubbery macaroni
Peanut butter, caked and dry
Curdled milk and crusts of pie
Moldy melons, dried-up mustard
Eggshells mixed with lemon custard
Cold French fries and rancid meat
Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat
At last the garbage reached so high
That finally it touched the sky
And all the neighbors moved away
And none of her friends would come to play
And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said
"OK, I'll take the garbage out!"
But then, of course, it was too late...
The garbage reached across the state
From New York to the Golden Gate
And there, in the garbage she did hate
Poor Sarah met an awful fate
That I cannot right now relate
Because the hour is much too late
But children, remember Sarah Stout
And always take the garbage out!

Merry Christmas, Darling

Performer(s): The Carpenters;
and various other artists



Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas, darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream
And in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish 
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, darling

Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Matt Betton
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



Merry Christmas, Alabama 
Merry Christmas, Tennessee 
Merry Christmas, Louisiana 
To St. Barth's and the Florida Keys 

Merry Christmas, Mississippi 
Where I started thes wild and crazy run 
Such a long way from that first birthday 
Merry Christmas, Everyone 

And Merry Christmas, Colorado 
Though far from you all I have roamed 
"Tis the season to remember 
All the faces and the places that were home 

"Tis the season to remember 
And to count up all the ports of call I've known 
And to thank his mercies tender 
For I'm never far from home 

Merry Christmas to my saints and guardian angels 
Who protect me as I roam 
All the faces and the places that were home 

Guess my life's moved at near light speed 
Since I started this wild and crazy run 
Such a long way from that first birthday 
Merry Christmas, Everyone 

"Tis the season to remember 
That we're never far from home 

Merry Christmas, Everyone

Merry Christmas To Me
Composer(s): Alan Jackson
Performer(s): Alan Jackson; Swoon 23



Today I took some paper from the closet
And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind
And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you
And on a little card I wrote these words inside

Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me

Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you
About the many reasons why you're gone
And I opened up the present that I gave to me
And realized how much it hurts to be alone

Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me

I'm the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me

La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Les yeux cernés
Par les années
Par les amours
Au jour le jour
La bouche usée
Par les baisers
Trop souvent mais
Trop mal donnés
Le teint blafard
Malgré le fard
Plus pâle qu'une
Tache de lune

La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Les seins trop lourds
De trop d'amours
Ne portent pas
Le nom d'appâts
Le corps lassé
Trop caressé
Trop souvent mais
Trop mal aimé
Le dos voûté
Semble porter
Les souvenirs
Qu'elle a dû fuir

La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Ne riez pas
N'y touchez pas
Gardez vos larmes
Et vos sarcasmes
Lorsque la nuit
Nous réunit
Son corps, ses mains
S'offrent aux miens
Et c'est son cœur
Couvert de pleurs
Et de blessures
Qui me rassure

Merry Christmas Strait To You
Composer(s): Bob Kelly
Performer(s): George Strait



It's Christmas time
I see the lines of people everywhere
Tryin' to pick out the gifts
That show how much they care
It makes me wish that I could see my friends
On Christmas Day
And fill my list with lots of gifts
But I can only say

Here comes a merry Christmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

There's lot of ways to share the days
Of Christmas with your friends
A Christmas card, a tree that stars
And gifts that make you grin
I'd like to share this song with everyone who came our way
Without a doubt the fires not out
It burns for you today

Here comes a merry Chritmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

Here comes a merry Christmas and to all who might of missed us
A very merry Christmas strait to you

Dans la boutique du tailleur
Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes sœurs
Nous avons tant de peine au cœur
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous
Mamie ne cesse de pleurer
Sa grande enfant, son adorée
Tu fus toujours sa préférée
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous

De quoi avais-tu donc besoin
Chez nous tu ne manquais de rien
Pourquoi es-tu partie si loin?
Ici quel vide tout à coup
Papy commence à être vieux
Il a déjà des mauvais yeux
Te sachant là il irait mieux
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous

Dans la boutique du tailleur
Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes sœurs
Retrouveront l'ancien bonheur
Sarah, Sarah si tu reviens
Quand attablés les soirs d'hiver
Lorsqu'un à un Mamie nous sert
Nous sentons qu'il manque un couvert
Sarah, Sarah que c'est le tien

On lit tes lettres d'Amérique
T'as fait un parti magnifique
Alors tes sentiments s'expliquent
Tu veux oublier d'où tu viens
Hélène aura bientôt vingt ans
Elle s'en ira peut-être avant
On ne vit pas pour ses parents
Sarah, Sarah je le sais bien

Sois donc heureuse et sans regret
Mais ne nous oublie tout à fait
Tu as la vie dont tu rêvais
Sarah, Sarah tant pis pour nous

Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen
Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen
Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa
Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa
Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa
Misschien komen we nooit meer terug 

'k Ben steeds opzoek naar het groot avontuur al voel ik me hier thuis
Na zoveel jaren wil je wel een keer ver weg van huis, oh oh oh
M'n hart blijft in Vlaanderen, m'n geest sloeg op hol, de zilveren vogel wacht
Het weer zat niet mee, 't was veel te koud aan zee, maar dus omlaag 

In Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen
Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen
Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa
Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa
Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa
Misschien komen we nooit meer terug, oh oh oh 

Met kussen en tranen en Sandra's rozen zat ik op fluweel
'k Ben vrijgezel voor zwart en blonde meisjes zo alleen
Ze noemen me playboy na die ode's aan meisjes op pappie nummer twee
Vijftien jaar Jimmy is voor mij een feest, ga met me mee 

Naar Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen
Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen
Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa
Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa
Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa
Misschien komen we nooit meer terug, oh oh oh 

Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen
Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen
Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa
Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa
Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa
Misschien komen we nooit meer terug 

Saragossa, Saragossa, Saragossa
