Seize Tonnes (Adapted from: Sixteen Tons - 1947) (Italian Version: L'ascensore - 1986) Composer(s): Merle Travis; Jacques Larue Performer(s): Armand Mestral - 1956 and multiple other artists
Si l'homme est de la boue pour des tas de gens Il est pour moi fait de chair et de sang De muscles de fer et d'un coeur trop bon Et de deux épaules pour charger le charbon
T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?
Quand ta mère a déjà cinq gosses à nourrir Un de plus n'est pas pour lui faire plaisir Alors toi, tu bosses comme un lion Mais le chef a beau dire que t'es un champion
T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?
Quand pendant toute la semaine, tu t'crèves en bas L'dimanche enfin, tout le ciel est à toi Et dans tes draps blancs, dès ton réveil, Les yeux de ta femme sont comme des soleils
T'en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? Un jour enfin où tu peux croire à la joie La pelle chaque jour qui prendra plus de poids Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?
Appena fui al mondo mi ritrovai in un grattacielo più alto che mai e poi per istinto o quello che fu mi misi in fila per salire lassù e l' ascensore partì ed ero con gli altri tra i bimbi di un colore che è diverso dal mio
ognuno una speranza dentro se chissà la in cima il sole che c' è e arrivai al primo piano non lo so come fu mi accorsi che invidiavano la mia gioventù nell'ascensore entrò un uomo e sparò e i miei primi sogni lui già me li rubò ragazzi andiamo su saliamo perchè in cima al grattacielo tutto meglio è il mondo ci appartiene siam figli suoi
qui non c' ha posto chi ride di noi ed un bel giorno vidi entrar lei di quel suo sorriso io mi innamorai salire fino in cima con me vorrà legati insieme con due anelli o un destino a metà e ancora oggi io continuo a star su e i piani che ho salito non li conto più son stati belli o brutti lo rifarei il viaggio organizzato per noi e qui sale gente della mia stessa età
e già lo sanno tutti che qualcosa non va non hanno nuove speranze non credono più presto chiamate l'ascensore che è andato lassù
Pieces Of My Life Composer(s): Troy Seals Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
Water glass full of whisky Women that I never knew too well Lord, the things I've seen and done Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
I don't know how it started That's what makes a man a man, I guess Now I'm holdin' on to nothin' Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life To see if I can find the pieces I know that some were stolen And some just blew away Well I've found the bad parts Found all the sad parts But I guess I threw the best parts away Lord, away, away
Playin' the bars, playin' like a star Anything to get a name Carryin' on, livin' on songs My friends wrote for me to sing
I'm lookin' back on my life To see if I can find the pieces I know that some were stolen And some just blew away Well, I've found the bad parts Found all the sad parts But I guess I threw the best parts away Lord, away, away
Lord, the pieces of my life They're everywhere, they're everywhere And the one I miss most of all Is you... and you know who
Lookin' back on my life, Lord To see if I can find the pieces Lookin' back on my life today To see if I can find the pieces Lookin' back on my life God help me find the pieces
Un Jardin Sur La Terre First performance by: Serge Lama - 1971
À force de courir pour ne rien découvrir De n'être aventurier que dans ses souvenirs De faire des voyages comme on fait des affaires Et perdre sa jeunesse comme on gagne une guerre On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps
Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus Un jardin sur la Terre pour qu'une fille ait son coeur Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure Un jardin sur la Terre, n'est-ce pas le bonheur?
À force de vouloir vivre à deux pour la vie Au point de s'accoupler avec n'importe qui De faire de son lit plusieurs champs de bataille Collectionnant les coeurs à défaut de médailles On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps
Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus Un jardin sur la Terre pour cultiver son coeur Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure Donnez-moi un jardin sur la Terre
Pieces Of Mind Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown Performer(s): Jack Bruce
Pieces of mind See how they ran Prizes of sun Still to be won When the life is made of straw Waves that pound against the door Leave me at the place of / throw it away / throw it away
Leave it today Keep me dancing stop me grasping Clouds that turn the dust on touching Times I'm so far from / what I want
So much the same Living in games Pieces of cake Until they break apart They say the plane that comes to pass never rhymes Now it burns on grass too steep to climb
Best of friends Until the flowers end Mines have taken their place Darkness in their face Now the golden coach is here Can you cure me of the fear Should I move into the clear Find a time in which I / throw it away / get out today
Keep me singing stop me clutching Rooms that turn to dust on clutching Times I'm so far from / what I want
Merry-go-round In a town without sound Wings for hire From the church with no choir The burning ship is sailing It will not leave without me throw it way / get out today
Get out today Keep me singing stop me clutching Rooms that turn to dust on leaving Times I'm so far from / what I want

Pieces Of Ice Composer(s): M. Jordan; J. Capek Performer(s): Diana Ross
Walking blind across this silver room Looking through a smoke menagerie Looking at your face inside of me In the darkness you're Tunisia
Nights are long entropic I can't seem to cope It's cold when I look in your eyes
Pieces of ice Pieces of ice Pieces of ice Pieces of ice
Where the zebra lightning strikes the room Foreign words are strutted through the gloom Women swooping down like birds of prey Never close but never far away
Night are long entropic I can't seem to cope It's cold when I look in your eyes
Pieces of ice Pieces of ice Pieces of ice Pieces of ice
En Un Mundo Nuevo Composer(s): T. Luz - R. Trabucchelli
First performance by: Karina - 1971
Sólo al final del camino, las cosas claras verás la razón de vivir y el porqué de mil cosas más Al mirar hacia atrás, cuando llegues comprenderás
Busca las cosas sencillas y encontrarás la verdad La verdad de ese amor, lo demás déjalo pasar Solamente el amor con el tiempo no morirá
Al fin del camino se harán realidad los sueños que llevas en ti si en todo momento en tu caminar la vida has llenado de amor y verdad
Al fin del camino podrás encontrar el bien que esperaste sentir olvida el pasado, pues no volverá conserva el amor que hay en ti
Al fin del camino habrá un despertar de nuevo volver a vivir si en todo momento en tu caminar la vida has llenado de amor y verdad
Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad en un mundo nuevo y feliz
Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad en un mundo nuevo y feliz en un mundo nuevo y feliz en un mundo nuevo y feliz
Papara papapa papara papa papara papa parara Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad si llenas tu vida de amor y paz si llenas tu vida de amor y paz en un mundo nuevo y feliz
Pieces Of April Composer(s): Dave Loggins Performer(s): Three Dog Night; and various other artists
April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain we would laugh it off
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May
We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossemed green Feelings as I did in April, not really knowing what it means But it must be ther that youstand beside me now to make me feel this way Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May
Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes) Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Early in the morning when the dew is on Each and every rose bud, you will find me gone So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name
Seven lonely hours on a morning train Take me to a place where I won't come back again Seven lonely Pullmans speeding down the line Takin' me away from an old love of mine
Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines Where the fish swim up and down and the sparklin' waters falls Where the thunder roll and the lonely puma calls
Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name Rid my mind of memories and start my life again Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small Then forget so I won't remember you at all

all I need to find a way around her depends is just a little common sense I don't have a strategy I'll be the re like I have so many other times she'll reveal to me a certain side that all that I can see
