Stop Crying
Performer(s): Little Esther Phillips



(Stop crying, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

Darling, you're crying
What did I do to you
If I hurt your feelings
Please let me make it up to you

Please forgive me, Darling
Let's make a brand new start
And, Darling, stop crying
You're just about to break my heart

I see those tears
You're trying so hard to hide
Go on and cry it out, Baby
But Darling, please, please stay by my side

And when you're through crying
Happiness I'll always bring
And I promise, Darling
I'll never make you cry again

I'll never make you cry again

Lalo Y Los Descalzos; Mercedes Sosa


Y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
es lo único que te pido al menos hoy
y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
afuera se iran las penas y el dolor

Y ya veras, las sombras que aquí estuvieron no estaran
y ya veras, que no necesitaremos nada mas

Y ya veras, las sombras que aquí estuvieron no estaran
y ya veras, bebamos y emborrachemos la ciudad

Y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
es lo único que te pido al menos hoy
y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
y que se enciendan las luces de este amor

Y ya veras, como se transforma el aire del lugar
y ya veras, que no necesitaremos nada mas

Y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
es lo único que te pido al menos hoy
y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
que si me das alegría estoy mejor

Y ya veras, las sombras que aquí estuvieron no estaran
y ya veras, que no necesitaremos nada mas

Y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
es lo único que te pido al menos hoy
y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón
afuera se iran las penas y el dolor

Y dale alegría, alegría a mi corazón...

The Balkan Girls
Composer(s): Daris Mangal - Ovidiu Bistriceanu - Laurentiu Duta - Alexandru Pelin
First performance by: Elena - 2009



The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
 
It's time for me to unwind
I'm gonna start my weekend with gin, tonic and lime
My girls take me for a ride
Ready to party and looking so fine
 
I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night
 
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
 
My hips are ready to glow
This record is so hot and I have so much to show
I'll find a boy for a kiss
Who knows, maybe he'll be my prince
 
I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night
 
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
 
(You've gotta live your life...)
If you didn't find out
What love is about
And if you're lonely, baby
Just open your mind, you're one of a kind
You've got to live your life...
 
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody

Y Aurait-il?
Composer(s): Pierre Louki
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat


Y aurait-il des soleils denses de douze mois
Hiver été menant la danse frères siamois
Y aurait-il des saisons même hors de saison
Si tu n'étais toi toi que j'aime dans ma maison

Y aurait-il des matins tendres à s'éveiller
Des matins que l'on fait attendre sur l'oreiller
Avec des émois de baptême thème d'émoi
Si tu n'étais toi toi que j'aime dans mon chez-moi

Y aurait-il des fruits aux branches de nos desserts
Et des éclats de rire aux hanches de nos conserts
Aurais-je des goûts de poèmes à tes genoux
Si tu n'étais toi toi que j'aime dans mon chez-nous

Y aurait-il des mots sans suite sans suite enfin
Avec tant de bonheur ensuite suite sans fin
Tant oui tant de bonheur que même nos corps se nouent
Si nous n'étions toi moi qui s'aiment tous deux dans nous

Stop
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey - Nelly Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Keer op keer
Kijk je me teder aan
Eender wie
Zou deze blik verstaan 

Maar ik weet
Dat je niet eerlijk bent
Ik ken je beter
Dan je denkt 

Als je danst
Dans je te dicht bij mij
Als je spreekt 
Spreek je te zacht to mij 

Maar wanneer
Wanneer ik jou begeer
Dan wil je mij niet meer
En daarom 

Stop (stop)
Met die leugens (met die leugens)
Ohoh, stop (stop)
Kom niet dichter (kom niet dichter)
Ja, stop 

't Is te laat
Je hebt me in je macht
't Is te laat
Nu heb je wat gedacht 

En je kijkt
Alweer een ander aan
Waarom heb je mij dit aangedaan
En daarom 

Stop (stop)
Met die leugens (met die leugens)
Ohoh, stop (stop)
Kom niet dichter (kom niet dichter)
Ja, stop (stop)
Met die leugens (met die leugens)
Ohoh, stop
Ik wil jou niet meer

Nadie como tú siente mi mirada
y advierte mis ganas cuando te deseo
Nadie como tú sabe provocarme
sabe acariciarme cuando te deseo
Pero estas tan lejos y yo estoy tan solo
y mi carne es débil, mi fuerza es tan débil
que lo olvido todo
Nadie como tú sueña entre mis brazos
y muere despacio al sentir mis manos
Nadie como tú desnuda mi cama
se entrega y me ama cuando nos amamos
Pero estas tan lejos y mi fuerza es poca
y el deseo me llama, la noche me llama
a entregarme a otra
Y apago la luz para recordar el olor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que me entrego a ti
y apago la luz para recordar el sabor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que te siento a ti
pero estás tan lejos y yo estoy tan solo
Nadie como tú me sigue queriendo
me sigue entendiendo cuando terminamos
Nadie como tú me ayuda a seguir
me ayuda a vivir cuando despertamos
Pero estas tan lejos y yo estoy tan solo
y mi carne es débil mi fuerza es tan débil
que lo olvido todo
Y apago la luz para recordar el olor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que me entrego a ti
y apago la luz para recordar el sabor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que te siento a ti
Pero estas tan lejos y yo estoy tan solo
Y apago la luz para recordar el olor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que me entrego a ti
y apago la luz para recordar el sabor a ti
y apago la luz para imaginar que te siento a ti
Pero estas tan lejos y yo estoy tan solo

Nadie como tú siente mi mirada

Nadie como tú sueña entre mis brazos
y muere despacio cuando te acaricio
Nadie como tú enciende mi alma

All that I have is all that you've given me
did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realise that you're not the only one

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away
but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Stop if love me
(you will remember)
now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Y Amor, Y Amor

Composer(s): Serge Balasko - Daniel Faure - Balasko
Performer(s): Dalida



En un rincon una luz de velas
Rumor de mar en el exterior
Reina el calor de la chimenea
Junto al sofa lo pasaba dos

Y amor y amor, el amor el amor
El amor, el amor, el amor, el amor
Y amor y amor el amor, el amor, el amor, el amor

Con una voz cada vez màs baja
Se echarlar al son de cualquiera cancion
En el hogar solo quedan brasas
En el mantel restos de licor

Y amor y amor el amor el amor
El amor, el amor, el amor, el amor
Y amor y amor el amor, el amor, el amor, el amor

En, un instante de paz 
Sin porqué ni razon 
Abrés el corazon

Hablas del ayer
Hablas del ayer
Del porvenir
Del porvenir
Eres incapaz 
De no dejarte ir 

Al despertar cada cual incuentra
Sus frases echas para fingir
Unas preguntas, unas promesas
Complicidad en el soureir

Y amor y amor el amor el amor
El amor, el amor, el amor, el amor
Y amor y amor el amor, el amor, el amor, el amor

En un ricon una olor a cera
Huelles de pies en la bajamar
Todos mujeres son igual de bellas
Frente al amor mientras duerme el sol

Y amor y amor el amor el amor
El amor, el amor, el amor, el amor
Y amor y amor el amor el amor
El amor, el amor, el amor, el amor
El amor el amor el amor el amor
El amor, el amor

Y A Du Bonheur Pour Tout Le Monde
Du film "Avec Le Sourire"
Composer(s): M. Lattes; André Hornez
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier


Parlé :
Moi on pourra m'dire c'qu'on voudra
J'vous répondrais qu'y a du bonheur pour tout le monde
Quatre cent francs, quatre petits billets de cent francs
Ah ah ah ! ah ça n'est pas l'Pérou!
Ça n'est vraiment pas encombrant quatre cent francs

Mais c'est bien mieux que rien du tout
Il est petit mon capital
J'suis un crésus en espadrilles
Et malgré moi un sentiment me dit
Que cet argent fera surement des p'tits
J'veux épater la capitale
J'veux être une xxxxxx de sans famille
Y a bien des riches, ma foi, qu'étaient sans un, autrefois
Et ben! J'veux en faire autant, moi
Y a du bonheur pour tout l'monde
L'important c'est d'savoir le trouver
Y a du plaisir à la ronde
Il suffit de sourire pour gagner
Moi aussi j'ferai des affaires
Ah pardon je veux pas me laisser faire
Ah mais non!
Y a du bonheur pour tout l'monde
Il suffit de sourire pour gagner

Moi aussi j'ferai des affaires
Ah pardon j'veux pas me laisser faire
Ah mais non!
Y a du bonheur pour tout l'monde
Il suffit de sourire pour gagner

Stool Pigeon
Composer(s): August Darnell
Performer(s): Kid Creole & the Coconuts; Irving Joseph



There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security, even after plastic surgery
'So, go on and squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

After all the talk, then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the F.B.I., they rewarded him
'Cause they like a guy who will stab a friend

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

'If you wanna squeal', said the F.B.I.
'We can make a deal, make it worth your while'
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spankin' new identity
And a condo' down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewellery
But he couldn't buy any company

There's a gentleman that's going 'round
Turnin' the joint upside-down
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no-one's safe
Stool Pigeon, ha tja tja tja

(You've Got) The Magic Touch
Composer(s): Buck Ram
Performer(s): The Platters; Kim Waters


You-oo-ve got the magic touch
You make me glow so much
It casts a spell, it rings a bell
The magic touch

Oh-uh-oh when I feel your charm
It's like a fourth alarm
You make me thrill so much
You've got the magic touch

If I go reeling, uh-oh, I'm feeling the glow (uh-oh)
But where can I go from you

I didn't know too much
And then I felt your touch
And now I've learned I can return
The magic touch

If I go reeling, uh-oh, I'm feeling the glow (uh-oh)
But where can I go from you

I didn't know too much
And then I felt your touch
And now I've learned I can return
The magic touch

Fairytale
Composer(s): Alexander Rybak
First performance by: Alexander Rybak - 2009



Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
 
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
 
Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
 
I don't know what I was doing
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do, we'll get a brand new start
 
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
 
She's a fairytale, yeah...
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed

Covered by multiple other artists



I was born from love
and my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book jesus
till I read between the lines
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

I can still remember him
with lovelight in his eyes
but the light flickered out and parted
as the sun began to rise
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

never mind the forecast
'cause the sky has lost control
'cause the fury and the broken thunder's
come to match my ragin' soul
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin' 

(You've Got To) Move Two Mountains
Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): Marv Johnson


Some time ago I told you that I needed you
It hurt me so when you said I don't mess with you
I love you long, you done me wrong
This is what you said to me

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Turn the deep blue ocean for the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

I tried so hard cause all my love was true for you
It broke my heart, my best was not enough for you
Whenever I asked you for a kiss
You always told me this

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Turn the deep blue ocean for the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

Table turned and here you are a beggin me
To take you back, you got me feelin sad and blue
I feel so bad I wanna cry
I ain't gonna tell you no lie

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Swim the deepest ocean pull the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

You've gotta move
You gotta swim
And if you wanna do
Then I'll fall in love with you

You've gotta move
You gotta swim
And if you wanna do
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

My love for you grows with each passing day
I'm by your side when you're away
And when I miss you and long for your care

All that I ask is one moment in time
No strings attached, no drawing lines
You feel my thoughts even when you're not here

(You've Got Me) Dangling On A String
Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar; Edith Wayne
Performer(s): The Chairmen Of The Board


You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
My life will surely stop
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose

I'm not half the man that I used to be, and I'll admit it
Your love has become a habit to me, and I can't quit it
Won't you take this half a man and make this man whole again?

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
'Cause you're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go

Every time I phone, your number's changed or disconnected
You have made my life a book of games -- I feel so rejected
Girl, you've got the best of me, now come and take the rest of me

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose

Girl, my nights are so lonely
Ooh, I'm needing you only

I only drink enough from your loving cup to keep me thirsty
Girl my need for you is oh so strong until it hurts me

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go

You've got me dangling on a string...

Stones In My Passway 
Composer(s): Robert Johnson 
First release by: Robert Johnson - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night 
I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night 
I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite 

I have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing 
Have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing 
I got a woman that I'm loving, oh, but she don't mean a thing 

My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last 
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last 
And there's one thing certain, they have stones all in my pass 

Now you're trying to take my life and all my lovin' too 
You have laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do? 
I'm crying, "Please, please, let us be friends" 
Now when you hear me howling in my passway, rider 
please open your door and let me in 

I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road 
I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road 
I been feelin' strange 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I got to go 

(You've Been Quite A Doll) Raggedy Ann
Composer(s): Red Lane
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens


You sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann
Yes, quite a doll
But I didn't really know you 
until I started making these trips up here to talk to you
And now I'm beginning to see more and more why my baby loved you so much
Why, Raggedy Ann, sometimes I'd almost swear
that you're just about as much alive as I am
When I hug you up close to me
I feel every ounce of the warm glow of love that she must've felt
And you know what, Raggedy Ann
I'd give anything I owned in this world
If I knew just half of the memories
that have passed through those little black button eyes of yours
Hid themselves in their tear stained stuff

Well I bet your just busting out with little old childhood secrets
that could really set a lonely man's heart aglow
Sometimes I still have to laugh the way you had to sample all of her food
And see all of her little new dresses
And answer a thousand questions
It's really a small wonder that you're all in one piece
The way she used to drag you around by one leg everywhere she went
But you didn't seem to mind
'cause you always had that big ole smile on your face
And You know something, Raggedy Ann
I bet that smile has dryed more tears
and cured more little hurts then I could ever hope to kiss away

And I'll tell you something else
That big smile has given me strength to face some pretty trying times myself
And I want to thank you again, Raggedy Ann
For helping me raise her after her Momma died
Somehow you just stepped right into her Momma shoes
And just that much further into our hearts
And that year of the rains, remember
One night the fever took my baby
You just laid right there beside her
While I did everything I could, right up to the end
And since then its just been me and you, Raggedy Ann
Just me and you

But you know the years haven't seemed to bother you too much
Course, you're a little faded here and there from the wind and rain
But that heartwarming charm and that spark of love
seems stronger now then it ever did
And look at me, why I barely made it up the hill today
Look Raggedy Ann, I can't even brush the dirt from my knees
So don't look for me tomorrow, I won't make it
I'd like to take you with me, Raggedy Ann
But I know you'll be happier right here
Watching over my baby and keeping her warm
Well, I've got to leave you now, I gotta go
And about the only thing that comes to my mind to say to you is
"God Bless You"
And you sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann
Yes sir, quite a doll
