La Quête (Adapted from: The Impossible Dream - 1965/1966) (Portuguese Version: Sonho Impossível - 1974) Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh - Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel - 1969 and multiple other artists
Rêver un impossible rêve Porter le chagrin des départs Brûler d'une possible fièvre Partir où personne ne part Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure Aimer, même trop, même mal Tenter, sans force et sans armure D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile Telle est ma quête Suivre l'étoile Peu m'importent mes chances Peu m'importe le temps Ou ma désespérance Et puis lutter toujours Sans questions ni repos Se damner Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour Je ne sais si je serai ce héros Mais mon cur serait tranquille Et les villes s'éclabousseraient de bleu Parce qu'un malheureux Brûle encore, bien qu'ayant tout brûlé Brûle encore, même trop, même mal Pour atteindre à s'en écarteler Pour atteindre l'inaccessible étoile

Se På Mej Composer(s): Håkan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren First performance by: Jan Johansen - 1995
När din väg är lång, du är trött men du måste ändå gå Och när skuggorna börjar växa och få liv och när natten skrämmer så är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar Hos dig stannar jag kvar
Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen som en våg som föds att bära dig Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
När du står en dag vid ett vägskäl i ditt liv som ett vilset litet barn är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar och hos dig stannar jag kvar
Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen som en våg som föds att bära dig Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig Jag går med dig vart du går och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Så se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen som en våg som föds att älska dig Se på mig, åhoj när ljuset blir till mörker i ditt liv är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig Jag älskar dig så

And the golden rays of the sun Divide in the slanting mists of the rain And Maggie is on the road again

Baby, baby, baby, you got me goin' crazy I'm feelin' kinda high, my mind is gettin' hazy But when I think of you, I know just what to do You make me feel so happy when I'm feelin' blue
You're pickin' me up with a kiss, a touch o' your hand You're all that I want, you're everything I planned Like a fairy tale story, you're the man o' my dreams My knight in shining armour, well, that's how it seems
You greet me in the morning with a kiss and a smile And for the rest of the day I'm on cloud nine (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...) It may sound like fantasy, but to me, it's real And I could trust my emotions 'cause I know what I feel

Now baby, baby, when I first saw your face I saw you had flavour and I wanted a taste of this sweet thing But now there's so much more 'Cause everyday I'm thinkin' about what my baby has in store
Trust and believe, day to day, you never doubt her 'Cause I used to have a dream girl, but now I found her And she's by my side, she's my pride, my all Ten foot tall, that's how I feel, I never fall, I never fell
Oh... what the hell, I'll admit it Love was the target and you hit it So as I watch you sleep in the middle of the night You open your eyes and I know it's so right
Two hearts, two minds, two people, one love And the way you're makin' me feel It's like you're sent from up above (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...) Your touch, your smell, your face, a unique breed It's only love but it's all that I need
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now

La Voix Est Libre First performance by: Frédéric Etherlinck - 1995
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout Prends-toi pour cible, tiens-toi debout La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre de crier tes rêves Le matin quand tu te lèves T'inventer un face-à-face devant ta glace Regarde-toi dans les yeux et parle avec qui tu veux Tu t'es pas levé pour rien, c'est déjà bien
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre d'effacer l'écran De ces images de noir et sang Tu peux changer les couleurs qui te font peur Quand tu descends dans la rue, si on t'a pas reconnu T'as pas crié assez fort, essaie encore
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et tu t'en fous Chacun sa bible écris partout La voix est libre, libre de tout
Put On Your Dancing Shoes Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Will Jennings Performer(s): Steve Winwood
So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air And it's all that we can do to face each day and see it through Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
You can't shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain You can't keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat Someone's world is tumbling down, and who's the saint and where's the clown? Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
Songs Of Yesterday Composer(s): Andy Fraser - Paul Rodgers Performer(s): Free; Humboogie
Sing me a sad song and I'll be right on my way a sad song like the songs of yesterday well my father used to sing the blues sometimes it was good but my mother never saw the use and she chased him for his blood a sad song like the songs of yesterday a sad song and I'll be right on my way
Oh you know my father always used to say a bad workman blames his tools but it seems to me a man who uses the tools is just a fool
sad song and I'll be right on my way
sad song like the songs of yesterday
Well now the streets are filled with silent cars and all the world's a stage but I must get to work today today I get my wage
sad song then I'll get on on my way just like a song of yesterday listen to what I'm gonna say
Put On A Happy Face Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse Performer(s): Tony Bennett; and various other artists
Gray skies are gonna clear up Put on a happy face Brush off the clouds and cheer up Put on a happy face Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy It's not your style You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook Stick out that noble chin Wipe off that "full of doubt" look Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so gloomy She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face So, put on a happy face
