Après Toi (Dutch Version: Zonder Jou - 2006) Composer(s): Leo Leandros; Klaus Munro; Yves Dessca First performance by: Vicky Leandros - 1972
Tu t'en vas L'amour a pour toi Le sourire d'une autre Je voudrais mais ne peux t'en vouloir Désormais Tu vas m'oublier Ce n'est pas de ta faute Et pourtant tu dois savoir
Qu'après toi Je ne pourrai plus vivre, non plus vivre Qu'en souvenir de toi Après toi J'aurai les yeux humides Les mains vides, le cur sans joie Avec toi J'avais appris à rire Et mes rires ne viennent que par toi Après toi je ne serai que l'ombre De ton ombre Après toi
Même une jour si je fais ma vie Si je tiens la promesse Qui unit peut-être pour toujours Après toi Je pourrai peut-être Donner de ma tendresse Mais plus rien de mon amour
Après toi Je ne pourrai plus vivre, non plus vivre Qu'en souvenir de toi Après toi J'aurai les yeux humides Les mains vides, le cur sans joie Avec toi J'avais appris à rire Et mes rires ne viennent que par toi Après toi je ne serai que l'ombre De ton ombre Après toi
Zonder Jou (Adapted from: Après Toi - 1972) Composer(s): Leo Leandros; Klaus Munro; Yves Dessca; Mieke Performer(s): Garry Hagger - 2006
Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu, 'k zit ermee Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu
Eeuwig, ik zei 'dit is voor eeuwig' 'k Zweerde trouw tot de dood In voorspoed en nood zou ik bij je zijn Maar eeuwig duurde niet zo lang En ik werd bang, dat jij niet van me hield Dus ik liet je even gaan Had ik beter niet gedaan
Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu, 'k zit ermee Zonder jou speel ik toch echt niet mee Maar wat nu, ohoh 'k Wilde weer een keertje vrij Maar nu wil ik jou bij mij Want toen was het beter Wij hier met z'n twee
Beter, met jou was zoveel beter (zoveel beter) Maar je weet hoe het gaat, spijt komt te laat Dat zie ik nu En nu weet ik pas, toen jij er was Had ik het naar m'n zin Waarom liet ik jou toch gaan Had ik beter niet gedaan
Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu, 'k zit ermee Zonder jou speel ik toch echt niet mee Maar wat nu, ohoh 'k Wilde weer een keertje vrij Maar nu wil ik jou bij mij Want toen was het beter Wij hier met z'n twee
Weet je, mis jij mij ook een beetje Kom dan vlug naar me toe 'k Ben 't alleen zijn zo moe Ik wil je bij me
Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu, 'k zit ermee Zonder jou speel ik toch echt niet mee Maar wat nu, ohoh
Want toen was het beter Wij samen, wij samen
Zonder jou was niet zo'n goed idee Maar wat nu, 'k zit ermee Zonder jou speel ik toch echt niet mee Maar wat nu, ohoh
Had ik jou nu maar bij mij Dan liet ik je nooit meer vrij En dan wordt het beter Wij samen, wij hier met z'n twee

Pirates Composer(s): Nick Thorkelson Performer(s): Peter Tork
Listen up alla you pirates You buccaneers and such Take a sad warning from my sad song And don't push your luck too much
I used to run all around town Makin' and breakin' love But all my runnin' didn't seem so cunnin' When push came down to shove
Chorus: 'Cause when I came upon you, Baby I didn't know what it was all about 'Cause when I ran, and then I ran From true love And then I ran Until my heart gave out
Thinkin' about those hot nights When the neighbors began to talk. I thought love was easy to get Until I took a walk
Now I'm here in a cold place Sittin' so all alone I didn't know it could be so bad Until I quit my happy home
Chorus
And didn't it always seem that you can't keep A good man down? But when I came of age Livin' it up was all the rage
À La Folie Ou Pas Du Tout First performance by: Serge & Christine Ghisoland - 1972
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit
Moi, si je cueille la fleur des champs (Moi, si je cueille la fleur des champs) Ce n'est qu'au vent que je l'effeuille (Ce n'est qu'au vent que je l'effeuille)
Un peu beaucoup: ces mots nous feraient peur Ce n'est jamais assez au gré du cur L'amour n'est rien s'il ne nous rend pas fous On aime à la folie ou pas du tout On aime à la folie ou pas du tout L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit
Sky Fits Heaven Composer(s): Madonna; Patrick Leonard Performer(s): Madonna
Sky fits heaven so fly it That's what the prophet said to me Child fits mother so hold your baby tight That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it That's what the wise man said to me Love fits virtue so hold on to the light That's what our future will be
Traveling down this road Watching the signs as I go I think I'll follow the sun Isn't everyone just Traveling down their own road Watching the signs as they go I think I'll follow my heart It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road Watching the signs as I go Traveling down my own road And I'm watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it That's what the Gospel said to me Life fits living so let your judgments go That's how our future should be
Traveling down this road Watching the signs as I go I think I'll follow the sun Isn't everyone just Traveling down their own road Watching the signs as they go I think I'll follow my heart It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road Watching the signs as they go Traveling down my own road And I'm watching the signs as I go
The Sky Fell Down
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Edward Heyman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
The sky fell down when I met you The green of the countryside has turned to blue I had the moon right on my fingertips And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips To be with you just made it seem That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream You gave to me all this and heaven too When the sky fell down and I met you
El domingo me fui a la sanzala me puse las alas, me sentí mejor porque oyendo un cantar de pioneros me sentí más lleno de Patria y de amor
Fue como regresar a un lugar donde guardo raíces y luceros Fue como si mi niña cantara y, más, me abrazara en aquella canción Fui papá de un pionero de guerra aquí en esta tierra cantándole al sol
Härliga Sommardag Composer(s): Håkan Elmquist First performance by: Family Four - 1972
Morgonsol glittrar i viken Dagen gryr, sista gång blinkar Hanö fyr Ser du vår segelbåt? Hör du musiken? När vi styr mot ett nytt äventyr
Nynna en sång, tralla en trall Gnola en låt som minner om sommar Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar Sjung om en härlig sommardag
Vind från öst Rykande vågor med vita gäss Svällande segel Som slår när vi går mot vår ö
I en vik kastar vi ankar Tar ett dopp, har det skönt på en solvarm häll Innan i sakta mak hemåt vi vankar Över ön i en skön sommarkväll
Nynna en sång, tralla en trall Gnola en låt som minner om sommar Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar Sjung om en härlig sommar... sommar...
La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la
Sjung om en härlig sommar... Härliga dag, härliga sommardag
Pinto The Wonder Horse Is Dead Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall
I read it in the paper just about a week ago It was on the back page and not many people know Boy it made me feel bad when I picked it up and read Pinto the wonder horse is dead
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together At the Saturday morning picture show The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said Pinto the wonder horse is dead
My memory goes back to when I was a little kid We believed in everything that Pinto ever did Will our kids have a hero half as brave or half as strong Pinto the wonder horse is gone
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together At the Saturday morning picture show The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said Pinto the wonder horse is dead
We believed that Pinto was the fastest horse alive If he outrun the wind itself, we never were surprised In my childhood memory full of boys grownin' to men Pinto the wonder rides again
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together At the Saturday morning picture show The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said Pinto the wonder horse is dead
Sky Fell Composer(s): Judy Collins Performer(s): Judy Collins; Linda S. Collins
The rain is falling down Along with the sky The colors and remembered suns Are pouring by
What will I do with the sky When it is empty?
Come to the window Put your arms around me again If you don't hold me I will wash away with the rain
What will I do with my arms When they are empty?
I'll just stand here and watch The sky fall while you Put yourself together While you gather up the time it took to Make us think we would last forever.
The window fills your face With silver and grain, You're soaking up the sky I'll never see it again
What will I do with the sky When it is empty
What will I do with my life When you have left me?
Pins And Needles Composer(s): Janis Carnes; Rick Carnes; Chip Hardy Performer(s): Reba McEntire; The Whites
Chorus: Pins and needles Needles and pins One by one I feel them at my heart again I think I'm getting over you and then Pins and needles Needles and pins
I don't know why I get uneasy Every time I hear your name I feel a sting from every memory That we made
Repeat Chorus
That tiny ache Can always find me Anytime that you are near Those little things Can still remind me That you don't care
Repeat Chorus (Pins and needles Pins and needles Pins and needles Needles and pins)

Falter im Wind Composer(s): Richard Schönherz; Manuel Rigoni; Heinz Unger First performance by: Milestones - 1972
Bleib' nicht im Wald, Schmetterling und verflieg' dich nicht bei Nacht Falsch ist der Mond, sein Schattenspiel, in der Dämmerung ist kein Halt Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling - deine Farben flammen auf Tot ist die Nacht, in deinem Tanz, ist das Leben hell wie Tag Fall nicht in die Sonne Fall nicht in die Sonne Fall nicht in die Sonne
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht
Hell ist dein Tag, darum tanze schnell, er währt einen Flügelschlag Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling, bald fällt Abendnebel ein Fall nicht in die Sonne Fall nicht in die Sonne Fall nicht in die Sonne
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht
Pinky Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
I don't want to wake you But I'd like to tell you that I love you That the candlelight fell like a crescent Upon your feather pillow
For there's more ways than one And the ways of the world are a blessing For when Pinky's dreaming She owes the world nothing And her silence keeps us guessing
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July Quilted and timeless, seldom denied The trial and the error of my master plan Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands
You don't want to tell me But somehow you've guessed that I know Oh when dawn came this morning You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul
For there's toast and honey And there's breakfast in bed on a tray Oh it's ten below zero And we're about to abandon our plans for the day
