Old-Man Fiddle First performance by: Pihasoittajat - 1975
The door opens wide every head turns round to stare He steps inside with raindrops on his hair A grey old man with legs a-limping, he finds himself a chair Then he lifts a fiddle and bow with gentle care
And just like sunlight out of the rain, old man fiddle's come to play again And light this night up into flame Just his dancing fiddling bow brings to life all sleepy toes In this old heart till morning glows
So kiss the blues goodbye Let the mountain melody brighten the night and make the good times fly Feet are dancing free in ragtime reverie Pick up your lazy legs and give it a try
We sang along into the dawn till our cares were just memories Danced in time to country tunes In some valley he lives free, where his notes ripen on the trees Underneath the harvest moon
So kiss the blues goodbye Let the mountain melody brighten the night and make the good times fly Feet are dancing free in ragtime reverie Pick up your lazy legs and give it a try
In the gentle falling rain, you could still hear the loving sound That filled the night with memories And when the skies are turning grey, bring him back here to play again He'll waken blossoms on the trees
So kiss the blues goodbye Let the mountain melody brighten the night and make the good times fly Feet are dancing free in ragtime reverie Pick up your lazy legs and give it a try
Small Axe Composer(s): Lee Perry; Bob Marley First release by: Bob Marley - 1971
Why boasteth thyself Oh, evil men Playing smart And not being clever? I said, you're working iniquity To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so) But the goodness of Jah, Jah I-dureth for-I-ver
So if you are the big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down (well sharp) To cut you down
These are the words Of my master, keep on tellin' me No weak heart Shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, fall in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it (... fall in it)
If you are the big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe, sharp and ready Ready to cut you down (well sharp) To cut you down
(To cut you down)
(To cut you down)
These are the words Of my master, tellin' me that No weak heart Shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)
If you are the big, big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down (well sharp) To cut you down If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe Ready to cut you down (well sharp) To cut you down Sharpened ...
Please Hurt Me Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): Little Eva; The Crystals
If you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me and if you gotta break a heart, then please break mine I won't cry if you deceive me I'll take it with a smile I know someday you will leave me But at least I'll have you for a while So darlin', if you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me and if I have to be a plaything, that's what I'll be Please hurt me, oh please hurt me Come on & please hurt me Why don't you please hurt me
Une Chanson C'est Une Lettre Composer(s): Boris Bergman; André Popp First performance by: Sophie - 1975
Vois-tu? La chanson c'est une lettre Qu'on écrit pour soi et puis qu'on jette Elle ne voit jamais la boîte aux lettres Et pourtant
On a le courage d'y dire: "Je t'aime" Puisque c'est un autre sur la scène Qui vient le crier sans avoir peur Des projecteurs
Une chanson c'est une lettre Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête Une chanson c'est une lettre Que l'on n'envoie... Que l'on n'envoie jamais
Les amours y sont toujours parfaites On a jamais peur d'y être bête Quand le cur est prêt à se soumettre À un cur
Il est plus facile de dire: "Je t'aime" À l'alexandrin de son poème L'amour n'est jamais comme sur la scène Dans la vie
Une chanson c'est une lettre Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête Une chanson c'est une lettre Que ne prendra jamais plus le facteur
"Partons tous les deux sur ce navire" Voilà des choses que je ne peux dire Ma gorge se serre et se déchire À l'idée Qu'un jour il faudrait que je t'écrive Ces mots plantés là sur l'autre rive Faute de te faire une missive J'ai chanté
Une chanson c'est une lettre Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête Une chanson c'est une lettre Que ne prendra jamais le facteur
Une chanson c'est une lettre Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête Une chanson c'est une lettre Qui reste en soi Qui se froisse et qui meurt

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much Oh baby don't you touch me now...
Slutet Gott, Allting Gott Composer(s): S. Andersson; Ben Wilson; Judy Lynn Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Den första gång jag mötte dig, en regnig, tråkig dag Så gjorde du en slät figur, såg trist ut tyckte jag Sen blev jag kär som aldrig förr, om starten än var sval Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott
Nu är du den jag drömmer om och alltid tänker på Jag vandrar i ett rosigt rus, min hela värld är blå Att allting skulle ändra sig, det kunde ingen spå Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott
Människan spår men ödet rår och man vet aldrig hur Ibland så går det tokigt till, men ibland så har man tur Och är man kär så är man där, man kommer aldrig ut Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott
Människan spår men ödet rår och man vet aldrig hur Ibland så går det tokigt till, men ibland så har man tur Och är man kär så är man där, man kommer aldrig ut Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott
Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; and various other artists
This could be our last good night together We may never pass this way again Just let me enjoy it `til it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends
See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all that we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends
Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been Let me go on lovin' and believing `til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends Please don't tell me how the story ends
Na minha lembrança a moça arrebatava o chão Do meu coração, tablado solto no sem-fim Sim, roçava a franja nos desejos do salão Não pintava a boca só pra mim
Lembro da encarnada moça na iluminação Encarnada num tablado de encarnado igual A boca pintada de sangrado coração Sendo a rosa e o fogo, o bem e o mal
Pra sempre minha onde seu corpo for Descansar, distrair Para sempre moça quando o meu amor Precisar e pedir
Na minha cabeça, moça, a íntima sessão Sem saia encarnada, nada, num passado assim Mal iluminado, sua própria encarnação Fundos de memória, camarim
Singing This Song First performance by: Renato - 1975
Don't cry, for what's the use to be counting your blues? Just say you had a date and your friend turned out to be late Cheer up, think it's a boon, go on, whistle a tune
Nothing will change what had to be done, it just happened to be Pack your troubles and make fun, you'll enjoy it, you'll see
So do listen to me, whatever your trouble may be Join in and come along with a smile and a song
It's good to understand that the world is not at its end Forget what beats you inside, keep it out of your mind
Nothing will change what had to be done, it just happened to be Pack your troubles and make fun, you'll enjoy it, you'll see
Sure love not to be hurt, we were born to live on this Earth So when something goes wrong, join in singing this song
Sure love not to be hurt, we were born to live on this Earth So when something goes wrong, join in singing this song

Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta Performer(s): Van Morrison & The Chieftains
Ta mo chleamhnas deanta o athru areir S'ni mo na go dtaithnioonn an bhean liom fein Ach fagfaidh me i mo dhiaidh i 'gus imeoidh me liom fein Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach
My match it was made here last night To a girl I neither love nor like But I'll take my own advice And leave her behind And go roaming the wild woods all over
Shiuil mise thoir agus shiuil mise thiar Shiuil mise Corcaigh 'gus sraide Bh'l'ath Cliath Ach samhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh 'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhag mo chroi craite
I walked up and I walked down I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns But no equal to my true love could I find She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
D'eirigh me ar maidin dha uair roimh an la 'gus fuair me litir o mo mhile ghra Chuala me an smoilin 's an londubh a ra Gur ealiagh mo ghra thar saile
I got up two hours before day And I got a letter from my true love I heard the blackbird and linnet say That my love had crossed the ocean
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
Let Me Be The One Composer(s): Paul Curtis First performance by: The Shadows - 1975
Tonight-Tonight-Tonight Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight Let me be the one who really holds you tight I'll even bring along a magic moon Just to make you feel alright So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight
Let me be the one who takes you by the hand Let me be the one who always understands Ev'rybody knows we've been good friends
But I think the time is right So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight you and I could have an affair Make sweet music go anywhere Building highways taking a bend As long as I know you really care Won't you show that you care-oh come on
Avec son éternel pépin à la main Pin à la main, pin à la main Avec sa toque et son renard en lapin Avec son tricot et son chien Kiki
Avec ses nerfs et son fragile intestin Avec son régime et son pain Ta mère est là! Vraiment c'est pas un' sinécure Ta mère est là! Juste au moment où on n'l'attend pas Ta mère est là! C'est pas possible, elle se figure Que toi et moi On dépérit quand elle n'est pas là
Avec son air de n'pas vouloir se mêler De démêler nos démêlés Avec un oeil et une oreille en faction Avec ses reflexion maison, zin, zin Avec ses idées qu'elle défend sur un ton Qui monte plus vite que sa tension Ta mère est là! Y a pas d'erreur, c'est un' nature Ta mère est là! Aussi pénible qu'une fin de mois Ne me dis pas Que j'peux pas la voir en peinture J'aim'rai mieux ça Car son portrait, j'l'accroch'rais pas là
Ta mère est là! Allons ne fais pas cette figure Tu le sais bien J'en dis beaucoup mais j'en pense pas moins Ta mère est là! Ça va t'étonner mais j't'assure Que mine de rien Ta mère au fond moi je l'aime bien de loin!
