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

Join in singing this song

Slowly

Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Por más que encuentre un tesoro en las Fuentes del Nilo
quiero bailar un "slow with you tonight, tonight
Y aunque seas la Monna Lisa o la Venus de Milo
quiero bailar un 'Slow" with you tonight, tonight
Por más que yo sea una Bestía y tu seas tan Bella
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight"
Ya puede caernos encima un diluvio de estrellas
quiero bailar un "slow" with you como aquel
Times goes by, so slowly
I hunger for your...  sha la la la la
Slowly, slowly...
Por más que nos pille el estúpido de tu marido
Quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Y aunque enamorarme de ti me lo tengas prohibido
quiero bailar un 'Slow" with you tonight, my love
Por más que no pueda comprarte un collar de diamantes
quiero bailar un "Slow" with you tonight
Y aunque nunca llegue a ser Harrison Ford como amante
quiero bailar un "slow" with you como aquel...
At the end of'the rainbow
You'll  find a pot of gold... Sha la la la la
Slowly, Slowly
Por más que aparezca la grúa y se lleve mi coche
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Por mí que reviente el planeta en confetti esta noche
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Y como parece que el corto verano se acaba
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight, tonight
Seamos, al fin, Salomon y la Reina de Saba
I want to dance a "Slow" with you como aquel
Dream
Dream, dream, dream   
Sha la la la la
I love you when you do it
So slowly, so slowly
Oh baby, baby, be mine tonight...
I love you when you do it
so slowly, so slowly
Oh baby, baby, please hold me tight...
so slowly

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

Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight

Ta Mère Est Là
Performer(s): Bourvil


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!

Slowburn
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel



We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable

Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your Apocalypse

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might

We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
(But) the words fell like hailstones
bouncing at our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet

A chance to move, I take a shot
I get cold - you get hot
We look outside, lyin' awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I've got to think that you might

Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
Darlin' we've got to trust in something
We're shooting down our skies
shooting down (shooting down) our skies
(shooting down our ...)

Ta Femme
((Italian Version: Tua Moglie (Dalida))
Composer(s): Pascal Sevran - S. Lebrail - Pascal Auriat
Performer(s): Dalida - 1974


Il est déjà huit heures et quart
Tu vas encore être en retard
Arrange le col de ta veste
Brosse les cheveux blonds qui restent
Je suis toujours là quand tu veux
Ne prends pas cet air malheureux
Elle pourrait bien en faire un drame
Ta femme

Tu vas rentrer dans ta maison
Regarder la télévision
Après cinq ans de vie commune
Tu la supportes, elle s'accoutume
Cache-lui ta mauvaise humeur
Pense à lui apporter des fleurs
Même si des fois tu la condamnes
Ta femme

Auprès de moi tu viens chercher
Des semblants de bonheur volé
Mais dès que tu as des ennuis
C'est à elle que tu les confies
Cette communion de tous les jours
C'est une forme de l'amour
Elle est bien plus que Marie-Jeanne
Ta femme

Bien sûr tu ne veux pas l'avouer
Mais tu es plein de préjugés
Sitôt que tu sors de mes bras
Tu redeviens petit bourgeois
Pour te donner confiance en toi
Au fond, ça ne te déplaît pas
De la voir déposer les armes
Ta femme

Moi je suis celle que tu désires
Pour ton orgueil et ton plaisir
J'aimerais mieux tout simplement
Etre la mère de tes enfants

Si l'on croit que j'ai le beau rôle
C'est elle qui dort sur ton épaule
Tous comptes faits je me demande
Si ce n'est pas mieux de te rendre

Mikado
First performance by: Simone Drexel - 1975



Ein alter Mann saß stumm am Straßenrand
In all dem Lärm und dem Verkehr
Ein Kind nur warf ihm eine Münze zu
Er rief es zu sich her
Dann zeigte er ihm ein Mikado-Spiel
Ein Bündel Stäbchen, bunt und lang
Er warf sie hin zu einem kleinen Kreis
Wobei er leise sang

Mikado, Mikado, so heißt das alte Spiel
Mikado, Mikado, nicht jeder kommt ans Ziel
Du kannst alles haben mit etwas Geschick
Mikado, Mikado, vertrau nur auf dein Glück

Mikado, Mikado, so heißt das alte Spiel
Mikado, Mikado, zeig' niemals ein Gefühl
Wenn dich was nicht angeht, rühre nicht daran
Mikado, Mikado, spielt heute jedermann

Der alte Mann sprach zu dem Kind vor ihm:
"Schau' her, ich nehm' ein Hölzchen fort"
"Und dabei bleiben völlig unberührt"
"Die andern Hölzchen dort"
"Dies ist die Regel und nun hör' mir zu"
"Was schon ein Kind draus lernen kann"
"Wenn du nur einmal einen Fehler machst"
"Dann kommt der nächste dran"

Mikado, Mikado, so heißt das alte Spiel
Mikado, Mikado, nicht jeder kommt ans Ziel
Du kannst alles haben mit etwas Geschick
Mikado, Mikado, vertrau nur auf dein Glück

Mikado, Mikado, so heißt das alte Spiel
Mikado, Mikado, zeig' niemals ein Gefühl
Wenn dich was nicht angeht, rühre nicht daran
Mikado, Mikado, spielt heute jedermann 

Ta Det Bara Med Ro
English Title: Just Take It Easy
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog


De flesta de bara jagar
Och klagar över magar
De jagar lyckan eller vad det nu är
Men tror du alla är tvungna
Jag tar det lilla lugna
Börjar faktiskt tycka
Jag känner mera lycka
Med pengar följer bara mer besvär

Refräng:
Så ta det bara med ro, ta det bara med ro
Du finner nog din lycka och din tro
Ta det bara med ro, ta det bara med ro
Låt dårarna få glo och ta det med ro

Vad är det man vill försöka
Bevisa man kan öka
Sin egen lycka eller eget fördärv
Men ska det ske till det priset
Och göras på det viset
Kalla mig för latis
Men lyckan får man gratis
Den köper ingen människa för en kär

Refräng

Ta det bara med ro, ta det bara med ro
Du finner nog din lycka och din tro

Slowboat
Composer(s): Russell Mael; Ron Mael
Performer(s): Sparks



Slowboat takes me to your home everyday
And I wait for you knowing that you won't
come home, just today
For you've found someone new and you'll bid me adieu
And I leave you now, but I'll come back another day

Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day
Oooh, sail me far away

Slowboat sail off toward the seventh sea
Far away from you, but somehow coming
close again and again
And again as we near from some sign it appears
That you won't come home, you won't come home just today

Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day

Slowboat takes me where I'll always be
Far away from you, but knowing that you
won't come near me but you hear me
And you'll always be a true love to me
Though you're never home, I'll come back another day

Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day

Ta Chanson
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat


Non je ne veux pas croire
Que dans d'autres mémoires
Il ne resterait rien
Rien de notre bel âge
Ni des mille visages
De notre amour sans fin
Si j'allais disparaître
Qui sait demain peut-être
À moitié du chemin
Sans faire ta chanson

Mon amour ma faiblesse
Trop de rimes se pressent
Dans la jungle d'idées
Qui courent dans ma tête
Il faut être poète
Pour les apprivoiser
De tous ces mots à naître
Qui resteront peut-être
Dans ma gorge serrée
Est faite ta chanson

Que de rudes batailles
Avons-nous vaille que vaille
Dû livrer chaque jour
Chacun tenant son rôle
Epaule contre épaule
Et gagnant malgré tout
De ce temps de patience
Pour que la vie commence
À se mettre à genoux
Est faite ta chanson

S'ils sont toujours les mêmes
Les mots de ce poème
N'appartiennent qu'à nous
Que ma voix se déchire
Les gens peuvent bien rire
Et me traiter de fou
Ce soir hors de moi-même
Je veux crier «Je t'aime»
Comme peuvent hurler les loups
Pour faire ta chanson ta chanson

Touch My Life (With Summer)
Composer(s): Svein Hundsnes
First performance by: Ellen Nikolaysen - 1975



You came along and touched my life with summertime
And filled my soul with rays of golden sunshine
You made me feel that somethin' real was waiting to be found
Changing my whole style, teaching me to smile

Every day, every way, let me stay in your summer
Summer, stay with me
Keep me warm, summer wine
Keep me warm, summertime

I feel the warmth of summer deep inside of me
And know the glow of love will show and free me
And when you're gone, I'll carry on with what you left in me
Something that will grow, everyone will know

Every day, every way, let me stay in your summer
Summer, stay with me
Keep me warm, summer wine
Keep me warm, summertime

I hope you'll be returning when next summer comes
Then we'll be three, together in the summer sun

Toi
First performance by: Géraldine - 1975



Je me suis endormie en écoutant ta voix
En oubliant ma vie au creux de toi, au creux de toi
Je me suis réveillée, j'ai retrouvé ta voix
Et je savais aimer, dis-moi pourquoi, dis-moi pourquoi

Toi, tu es mon seul amour, tu es mon existence
Toi, tu m'as donné l'amour, tu m'as donné la chance
De comprendre aujourd'hui que je vivais pour toi
De savoir que ma vie n'existe pas sans toi

Puisque tu vas voler mes souvenirs d'enfant
Laisse-moi les garder juste le temps, juste le temps
De revoir mes quinze ans, de courir dans les bois
Et de laisser le vent chanter pour toi, chanter pour toi

Toi, qui es mon seul amour, qui es mon existence 	
Toi, qui m'as donné l'amour, qui m'as donné la chance 	
De comprendre aujourd'hui que je vivais pour toi 	
De savoir que ma vie n'existe pas sans toi

T.B. Sheets
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison


Now listen, Julie baby
It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight
It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through
Until the wee small hours long 'fore the break of dawn
Oh Lord, huh uh ha
Ha

Now Julie, an' there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further 'way than what you're lookin' for
I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door
And looked into my eyes
Your a little star struck innuendos
Inadequacies an' foreign bodies
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain, oh Lord

Ha, so open up the window and let me breathe
I said open up the window, shh shh shh shh shh and let me breathe
I'm looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you
Ha ha, I cried, I cried for you, ha ha 
Oh, Lord

The cool room, Lord is a fool's room
The cool room, Lord is a fool's room
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
On your sick bed

I gotta go, I gotta go
And you said, "Please stay, I wanna, I wanna
I want a drink of water, I want a drink of water
Go in the kitchen get me a drink of water"
I said, "I gotta go, I gotta go, baby"
I said, "I'll send, I'll send somebody around here later
You know we got John comin' around here later
With a bottle of wine for you, baby - but I gotta go" 

The cool room, Lord is a fool's room
The cool room, Lord, Lord is a fool's room, a fool's room
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, T.B.

I gotta go, I gotta go
I'll send around, send around one that grumbles later on, babe
We'll see what I can pick up for you, you know
Yeah, I got a few things gotta do
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry
Huh uh, go, go, go, I've gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go, huh uh, all right, all right, huh huh huh

I turned on the radio
If you wanna hear a few tunes, I'll turn on the radio for you
There you go, there you go, there you go, baby, there you go, huh

You'll be all right, too, huh huh, ha ha, yeah
I know it ain't funny, it ain't runny at all, baby
Always laying in the cool room, man, laying in the cool room
In the cool room, in the cool room

Slow Rollin' Mama
Performer(s): LaVern Baker



But don't you let it break
'Cause I need every ounce of it
To bake my cake
'Cause I'm a slow rollin' mama
And I need a big long rollin' pin
To get it ready and just right
For my red hot oven
Honey, let's roll it slow and easy
If it takes all night
'Cause if you try to rush it
It'll never come out right
'Cause I'm a slow rollin' mama
And I need a big long rollin' pin
To get it ready and just right
For my red hot oven
We'll roll it side to side
We'll roll it up and down
And if it still won't be enough
We'll roll it round and round
You know that I'm a slow rollin' mama
And I need a big long rollin' pin
To get it ready and just right
For my red hot oven
Now darlin', we'll roll it on the table
We'll roll it on the floor
And if it still needs pounding
You know we can roll it just a little more
You know that I'm a slow rollin' mama
And I need a big long rollin' pin
To get it ready and just right
For my red hot oven
I wanna get it ready and just right
For my red hot oven

'T Zijn Zotten Die Werke
Performer(s): Juul Kabas


‘t Zijn zotten die werke, ‘t zijn zotten die werken
Ge wordt er nie rijk van, en ge wordt er zo muug van
‘t Zijn zotten die werken, ‘t zijn zotten die werken
Voor dat arme pensioen, moet ge’t zeker nie doen

Ik heb ne gebuur die is altijd op zwier
En drinkt elken dag 1 2 3 bakken bier
En heeft hij gedronken dan zingt hij altijd
Van kunnen te doppen heb ik nog geen spijt

Den baas van den dop die zei hem op ne keer
«ge dopt al 10 jaren, da ga toch nie meer»
ik zei «zoek voor mij toch maar nie naar een job»
Voor het zelfde geld werken, dat is toch te zot
