Jeg Rev Et Blad Ud Af Min Dagbog First performance by: Raquel Rastenni - 1958
Dengang du gik i vrede, så fortrød jeg Fejlen var min - fornuften, tja... den snød mig Det, vi havde sammen, var smukt og stort Ved du, hvad jeg nu i dag har gjort?
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Gør du li'sådan, min ven
Hader du mig, forsåvidt er der grund nok Min jalousi, der var jeg mer end ond nok Prøv dog på at tilgi', at jeg var slem Og hvis du er stor nok, ja så glem
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog Gør du li'sådan, min ven Gør du li'sådan, min ven

See that sun in the morning Peeking over the hill? I'll bet you're sure it always has and sure it always will That's how I feel about someone How somebody feels about me We're sure we love each other That's the way we'll always be
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along Singing a song Side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side
Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started Just a-traveling along Singing a song Side by side
We're all hunting for something Something we don't know what 'Cause none of us are satisfied with things we know we've got We all forget about moonlight As soon as we've given our vow But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along Singing a song Side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side
Paradise By The Dashboard Light Composer(s): Jim Steinman Performer(s): Meat Loaf
I. Paradise
Boy: I remember every little thing As if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake And there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl Looking any better than you did And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight! Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl: Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it Baby got to go and shout it Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed
Boy: 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart You got it drowning out the radio I've been wating so long For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know No you're never gonna regret it So open up your eyes I got a big surprise It'll feel all right Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can And let Mother Naure do the rest Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely
we're gonna go all the way tongiht we're gonna go all the way and tonight the night....
Radio Broadcast: Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

III. Praying for the End of Time
Boy: I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time To hurry up and arrive Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy: It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better than it is today
Girl: It never felt so good It never felt so right And we were glowing like A metal on the edge of a knife

Paradise Composer(s): Perry Botkin Jr.; Gil Garfield; Harry Nilsson; Phil Spector Performer(s): The Ronettes; and various other artists
There is a land I know where lovers go and flowers grow forevermore Where time is standing still and lovers fill The quiet places by the shore We will cross the rainbow To a place where we'll be free Where he'll give his love to me So I'll wait for the day when he takes me away to...
Chorus: (Paradise) He'll take me by the hand to (Paradise) We'll walk along the sand in (Paradise) A never never land (Paradise) Wo wo wo
We'll build a castle there so we can share The happiness we've waited for While white flamingos fly way up high Way above the ocean's roar We will climb a mountain To see our wonderland Maybe now you'll understand Why I've waited for the day when he takes me away to...
(chorus)
(Stand by him) I'll stand by him (Do right by him) Do right by him and I swear that I would die for him, die for him

Natt över land och stad, sovande hus Rutor som blänker av stjärnornas ljus Flicka i fönstret står, ser mot det blå Är bara femton år, tänker ändå
Lilla stjärna i det höga Svara mig, svara mig Kommer han som jag ska få så kär? Ja, du vet nog vem han är Får jag läsa i hans öga Samma svar, samma svar Som jag tycker att du blinkar nu Lilla stjärna, du?
Kommer han? Kommer han? Ja, du vet nog vem han är Får jag läsa i hans öga Samma svar, samma svar Som jag tycker att du blinkar nu Lilla stjärna, du?

Sick, Sober And Sorry
Composer(s): Tex Atchison - Eddie Hazlewood
Performer(s): Johnny Bond
and multiple other artists
Sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
I met with a gal in a tavern
Oh, what a beautiful dream
We had three or four, then had several more
And that's when I went off my beam
Oh, sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
The jukebox so loudly was playin'
Each couple havin' a ball
But of all of them gals, their sweethearts and pals
I bet I am sicker than all
Oh, sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
The clock on the wall said it's later
In fact it was twenty to four
In spite of my pride, they kicked me outside
They locked and they bolted the door
Oh, sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
Outside I was hailin' a taxi
I got one this time without fail
It sported a star, I never got far
Was only two blocks to the jail
Oh, sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
Oh, sick, sober and sorry
Broke, disgusted and sad
Sick, sober and sorry
But look at the fun that I had
Paradise Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine; and various other artists
When I was a child my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my memories are worn
Chorus: And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
Repeat Chorus:
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
Repeat Chorus:
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am
Para Volver A Volver Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Para volver a volver No te marches ahora De una vez quédate A ti te falta el coraje Ese que a mí me sobra Para nunca volver Para decir que te vas Y al doblar esa esquina Sólo sabes llorar Para eso no digas nunca Que no cabe la duda De que un día te irás Para volver a volver Como has vuelto mil veces Para decir que te vas Y al final te arrepientes Deja tu orgullo correr Deja de hablar y te callas No digas más que te marchas No digas más que te marchas Para volver a volver
Sick And Tired Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Chris Kenner First release by: Chris Kenner - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists

Yo tengo un recuerdo un poco pálido de una infancia un tanto melancólica en un patio que era mi república para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Mi padre soñaba ser un pájaro y volar al norte como brújula Descubrir algún paisaje bíblico para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Fernando, Fernando vuela arriba Fernando, Fernando así es la vida para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Y a mi casa no llegó el teléfono Yo tenía amores telepáticos Poco a poco me hice más platónico para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Y así fui creciendo como un pájaro Y volando al norte como brújula Mi madre dice que soy idéntico para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Fernando, Fernando, vuela arriba Fernando, Fernando así es la vida para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir
Dors, Mon Amour Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Hubert Giraud First performance by: André Claveau - 1958
Dors, mon amour Le soleil est encore loin du jour Nous avons pour aimer tout le temps Et la nuit nous comprend Dors, mon amour Protégée par mes bras qui entourent Ton sommeil d'un rideau de bonheur Dors au creux de mon cur
Je suis un roi qui tient Tout son royaume en ses doigts Et qui tremble de voir s'écrouler Ce royaume enchanté
Dors, mon amour Ma princesse enfermée dans sa tour Avec tous les refrains de la nuit Ma princesse endormie
Je suis ton âme pas à pas Sur son chemin de joie Et je m'amuse à me pencher Sur ton sommeil étoilé
Dors, mon amour Le soleil est encore loin du jour Nous avons pour aimer tout le temps Et la nuit nous comprend Dors, mon amour Protégée par mes bras qui entourent Ton sommeil d'un rideau de bonheur Dors au creux de mon cur
J'entends la voix de ta vie qui bat tout près de moi Et je sens comme un souffle très doux Qui caresse ma joue
Dors, mon amour Ma princesse endormie dans sa tour J'aperçois le sourire du matin Voici le soleil de demain Le grand soleil de l'amour éternel

Para Que No Te Enfades Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Para que no te enfades te he traído estas rosas Para que no preguntes dónde estuve yo sin ti Ya sé que es madrugada y que me esperas desde anoche Inquieta y desvelada sin saber nada de mí Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, estando lejos Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, por donde este Es cierto que busqué una ilusión, un algo nuevo Es cierto que encontré un nuevo mar, donde bebí Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, estando lejos Que yo me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, por donde este Para que no te enfades te he traído estas rosas Ya sé que es poca cosa para verte ya feliz No tienes que explicarme, sin hablarme ya me digno Que piensas que te olvido cuando estoy lejos de ti
