Have you got a fine place to slip to When you're feeling down? Have you had a week or two Just to get your troubles down? Found a lot of life and laughter With a grandfather in the bowery She had a body of sixteen or seventeen She had a mind of forty I met her on a cold day in a city far away
When the world's about zero And I saw at once into her soul She's bound to call me her hero
Then like a walk in the rain or the lane I found a lot of death that day With the grandfather in the bowery 'Cause I love her like the world
She had a halo of gold Told me stories of her life And the courage was sublime 'Cause you're mine, I walk the line 'Cause you're mine, lalala
Have you got a fine place to slip to When you're feeling down? Have you had a week or two Just to get your troubles down? Found a lot of life and laughter With a grandfather in the bowery She had a body of sixteen or seventeen She had a mind of forty
When the world's about zero And I saw at once into her soul She's bound to call me her hero Then like a walk in the rain or the lane I found a lot of death that day With the grandfather in the bowery 'Cause I love her like the world
She had a halo of gold Told me stories of her life And the courage was sublime 'Cause you're mine, I walk the line 'Cause you're mine, lalala
Tigers and elephants' teeth Elephants climb the zoo Monkeys, beggars and thieves Little orphan Annies too Everything under the sun Could be evened out ?? But if I didn't like it that way I'd have to change it Aahaah
Minn Hinsti Dans First performance by: Paul Oscar - 1997
London, París, Róm - urðu orðin tóm Gekk þann gyllta breiða, blindaður af ást Falskir kunningjar, snerust um mig einan Fékk mér kavíar, núna er allt um seinan
Því ég stíg minn hinsta dans Og ég kveð mitt líf með glans En ég iðrast aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Kristals kampavín, perlur postulín Demantar í matinn, ást í eftirrétt Ef ég elsk' í dag, blöðin birta á morgun Fæ mér freyðibað, drekki mínum sorgum
Og ég stíg minn hinsta dans Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans En samt iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Allt sem ég fæ í dag, farið burt á morgun
Svo ég stíg minn hinsta dans Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans En samt iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei

Some girls need emotion Some girls just want some fun Some look for devotion Some just wanna run Some crave for affection Burnin' up inside Some need the direction For the world outside
You can dance the dance 'til the mornin' comes But I'll tell you where I'm comin' from
I wanna hear your soul' talkin' wanna hear your soul' talkin' wanna hear your soul' talkin'
It's the heart of the matter It's the root of the cause It's the still of the moment It's that heavenly pause Well I don't need a savior And I don't need a slave I just want to hear you Through that magnetic wave
What I need is a link to the inner mind If you want to know my bottom line
Hallelujah, I'm A Bum Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists
Rockefeller's busy giving dough away Chevrolet is busy making cars Hobo, you keep busy when they throw away Slightly used cigars Hobo, you've no time to shirk You're busy keeping far away from work
Refrain
The weather's getting fine The coffee tastes like wine You happy hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!" Why work away for wealth When you can travel for your health? It' s spring, you hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!" Your home is always near The moon's your chandelier Your ceiling is the sky Way up high The road is your estate The earth your little dinner plate It's spring, you hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!"

and various other artists
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know She is my baby and she lives next door Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up She brings me coffee in my favorite cup That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friend I know she'll go with me until the end Everybody asks me how I know I smile at them and say, "She told me so" That's why I know, oh, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone And tell her that I'm all alone By the time I count from one to four I hear her [Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock] on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down When there is nobody else around She kisses me and she holds me tight And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right" That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so

Hallelujah Composer(s): Vincent Youmans; Clifford Grey; Leo Robin Performer(s): Vic Damone & Tony Martin; and various other artists
I'm recalling times when I was small in light and free jubilee days Old folks praying everybody swaying Loudly, I chanted my praise How I sang about the Judgement morn And of Gabriel tooting on his horn In that sunny land of milk and honey I had no complaints While I thought of Saints So I say to all who feel forlorn
Sing "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" and you'll shoo the blues away When cares pursue you, "Hallelujah!" Gets you through the darkest day Satan lies awaiting and creating skies of grey But "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" Helps to shoo the clouds away
Sentiments Songes First performance by: Fanny - 1997
Souvent on s'fait des tours de manège à l'envers On découvre l'amour, mais sans les belles manières On s'invente des histoires, histoires de s'faire planer On s'maquille la mémoire pour éviter de penser
C'est comme l'eau d'un ruisseau, ça coule sans s'arrêter Tout c'qu'on a trouvé beau, à force s'est cassé Ça fait pas vraiment mal, sauf qu'on se sent à côté Du brillant des étoiles et qu'on ne veut plus donner
Sentiments, sentiments, songes utiles Utilisation pour mots d'amour fragiles Sentiments, sentimentales souffrances Légère comme un silence Jeu de larmes pour nuits blanches
Suppositions câlines Oh...
C'est comme l'arme du crime, faut l'empreinte pour prouver Prouver qu'on s'fait du mal ou qu'on se fait du bien Tout c'qu'est moche on l'étale C'qu'était bon plus personne s'en souvient
Et ça fait des souvenirs étrangement précis Des choses qu'on peut écrire ou ranger dans sa vie On ne sait plus vraiment ce qui est faux ou vrai Mais c'qui est important c'est que tout ça, on l'ait fait
Sentiments, sentiments songes utiles Utilisation pour mots d'amour fragiles Sentiments, sentimentales souffrances Légère comme un silence Jeu de larmes pour nuits blanches
Hallelujah Composer(s): Leonard Cohen First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 2004 - Hallelujah (by Rob de Nijs) 2008 - Aleluya 2009 - Desatero
I've heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music Do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor Fall The major lift The baffled king composing, hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the halleujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know What's real and going on below but now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Soul Searchin' Composer(s): Andy Paley - Brian Wilson Performer(s): Solomon Burke
I was a fool I told a lie I did you wrong I made you cry
So now I'm walkin' all alone Down the darkest street in town Standing in the rain While my tears keep fallin' down
I'm soul searchin' How could I say goodbye to you? I'm soul searchin' I made you cry How could I leave Somebody like you How could I do all the silly things That I do What makes me try the way I do Act a fool the way I do I need you so bad baby Won't you come back to me?
I'm soul searchin' But nobody likes my baby I keep soul searchin' It's driving me crazy Why did I ever say goodbye I must be outta my mind I keep walkin' and lookin' for a sign I gotta be crazy baby To ever let you go I keep lookin' for a sign
Oh why Do I get all the bad breaks How could I make Such stupid mistakes But the truth won't come to me No matter how I wreck my brain The rain keeps fallin' down And I keep callin' out your name
Hallelujah French Title: Alléluia Performer(s): Jeannine Deckers
Like an autumn leaf that is drifitng Through a chilly November day I was restless and drifting Never happy, never gay
Chorus Hallelujah, for Your grace has saved me For Your love dear Lord in my heart For the happiness You gave me Hallelujah for the wind that sings in the mountain For the sunshine that lights up the sky For the water in the fountain, Hallelujah!
I walked in sadness and my song was troubled I walked in sadness Seeking peace and happiness everywhere Chorus
By chanced in my adventures One evening God I have found To Him I give my solitude And His friendship saved me Chorus
Stemmen I Mit Liv Composer(s): Kølig Kaj First performance by: Kølig Kaj - 1997
"Det er Oplysningen, hallo" "Ja, hallo, det er Kaj, ka' jeg snak' med hende den søde?" "Hvem er den søde?" "Ja, stemmen i mit liv"
(Jeg tænder på dig, og ka' ikk' nå dig for) (Du' så langt fra mig)
Jeg går og føler mig lidt ensom, fordi jeg savner en Jeg kan dele mit liv med, det er ved at være et problem Jeg ringer til dig, men kan ikke få det sagt Når modet det så kommer, så er røret jo lagt på
Klokken er to, jeg har prøvet flere gange Du er ikk' og træffe, svaret er det samme Hvorfor er du borte, når jeg er lige her? Hvorfor er jeg ene? Jeg føler mig så sær
Jeg skyder over målet, hver gang jeg tror, jeg sigter Føler mig så sikker, men kontakten til dig svigter Har det ad helvede til, jeg drikker mig fuld Alt dette for glemme dig og så din stemme
(Jeg tænder på dig, og ka' ikk' nå dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv (Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv
Jeg ble' fyret fra mit job, fordi jeg ringed' i arbejdstiden Det ku' ikke stoppe mig, jeg ville hør' dig hele tiden Lige sid'n har min mobilregning vokset Skylder folk penge, og mit liv er lidt kokset
Selvom jeg er artigt opvokset, ka' jeg ikk' la' vær Telefonen er nær, nummeret giver mig ikke besvær Med at huske, for det er bare en, en og otte Har ikk' snakket i dag, bar' jeg ku' nå det
For først var det Molly, så var det Lone, så var det Lis Så var det Mette, så var det Helle, så var det Kis Men hende, jeg ville snakke med, var ikke ved røret Havd' ringet tyve gange, tænkte løbet var kørt
For bar' et enkelt svar kunne redde min dag Men der var ingen lyse håb, intet svar jeg vil ha' Til sidst faldt jeg om, med min telefon i hånden Med drømmen om dig, din stemme i ånden
(Jeg tænder på dig), yeah... (og ka' ikk' nå dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv (Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv
Nå men, jeg må tage mig sammen ven Gribe telefonen og så prøve igen Jeg trykked' en, en, otte, ønskede, håbede "Det er Oplysningen", og så stod jeg og måbede
"Hej, det er Kaj, du..." "Der er i øjeblikket en kort ventetid på ca. tyve sekunder Ventetiden er gratis" "Jeg elsker dig"
(Jeg tænder på dig), yeah... (og ka' ikk' nå dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv (Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for (Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv
Hallazgo De Las Piedras Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El mundo entra por la puerta con mil sabores que no puedo recordar Cómo ha crecido lo que miro los viejos ruidos ya no sirven para hablar Ya descubrí los ascensores los cines y las construcciones la fosforera y el avión y otras cosas que conozco bien que cuando niño no sabía observar (entonces no necesitaba con los juegos siempre basta para comprender)
Crecí parejo como un cielo lleno de objetos que brillaban con el sol como vivir frente a un espejo y no saberlo hasta tocarme y verme yo Y todo crece en cada libro en cada cinta, en cada cuento en cada vista alrededor Y es doloroso aprender a vivir todo profana la atención vital Hay tantas luces en la sala tanta gente que nos llama que no se oye nada
Este pedazo de la historia es aguerrido para ver y reposar Parece que es definitivo se rompe todo y todo vuelve a comenzar
Soul Provider Composer(s): Michael Bolton - Andy Goldmark Performer(s): Michael Bolton and multiple other artists

Halfway To Paradise Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): Billy Fury; and various other artists
I want to be your lover But your friend is all I've stayed I'm only halfway to paradise So near, yet so far away
I long for your lips to kiss my lips But just when I think they may You lead me halfway to paradise So near, yet so far away, mmm
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven) But seein' you can do just so much It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure) And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Put your sweet lips close to my lips And tell me that's where they're gonna stay Don't lead me halfway to paradise Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
