Swanee Blues Composer(s): J. Milton Decamp - Frank Goodman Performer(s): J. Milton Decamp
I've seen the Swanee River flow along I've heard a Swanee bird sing out it's song To you that may be just a melody But its beautiful music to me The Swanee Moon that's shining up above Just seems to bless my Swanee home with love My Swanee friends were always true The name of Swanee makes me blue
I've been away so very long it seems But I'm in Swanee every night in dreams Why must I be wandering all around Down in Swanee there's happiness found I've longed to breathe that Swanee atmosphere Where smiling faces filled my heart with cheer More fragrant is the Swanee Rose Than any other flow'r that grows
I always seem to get the Swanee Blues When my Mammy sends me Southern news My heart beats so fast I find Dixie scenes are on my mind I can't stay longer, something stronger Calls me to that Swanee shore there's a "Bay of Sunshine" whom I long to see She has made the Swanee, Paradise to me So there is no more time to lost And I'll shake my wand'ring shoes for I am going back to cure my Swanee Blues
Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart Composer(s): James F. Hanley Performer(s): Judy Garland; and various other artists
(Intro) Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart
Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me started a symphony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing About a nest set apart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again What else could I do again But keep repeating through and through "I love you, love you"
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will I hope 'twill never depart Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine Zing! Went the strings of my heart
(instrumental)

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd miss you so Somehow I feel, your love was real Near you I long to be
The birds are singing, it is song time The banjo's strummin' soft and low I know that you yearn for me too Swanee you're calling me
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more When I go to the Swanee shore Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me Down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to the Swanee shore

Zum Zum Zum French Title: Zoum, Zoum, Zoum Composer(s): Antonio Amurri; Armand Canfora; Ed. Curci Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Sarà capitato anche a voi Di avere una musica in testa Sentire una specie di orchestra Suonare suonare suonare suonare Zum zum zum zum zum
La canzone che mi passa per la testa Non so bene cosa sia, dove e quando l'ho sentita Di sicuro so soltanto che fa zum zum zum zum
L'ho cantata stamattina appena sveglia E cantandola ho pensato che non è poi tanto male Specialmente nel pezzetto che fa zum zum zum zum Sapessi almeno cos'è Mi sembra un concerto per piano O un pezzo per tanti, ma tanti violini La canzone che mi passa per la testa Questa notte l'ho sognata mi sembrava di sentire mille arpe Che facevano zum zum zum zum zum
Più ci penso e più mi sembra che sia un cor Un coretto di bambini che la canta nel cortile di una scuola Ripetendo sempre zum zum zum zum Però se va avanti così finisce che questa canzone Diventa una tale ossessione che parlo soltanto Facendo ogni tanto zum zum zum zum La canzone che mi passa per la testa Mi rimbomba come fossero cannoni Come un mucchio di tamburi e di tromboni Che fa zum zum zum zum zum Stamattina la cantavo io soltanto Ma stasera già mi sembra di sentire chiaramente Tanta gente che la canta insieme a me Zum zum zum zum zum .....
I, I hear a sound inside my head I gotta know it, it's a product of my invention Power of your suggestion
Thirty-two bars of electric guitars And a choir of angels remounding the milky way That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world And I think about you, think about you all day long Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world And I think about just loving you the whole day long
Free, free as the sun up in the sky Free as a bird I fly away into new directions Making unreal corrections
Swooping in air at impossible speeds And I head for the moon And I'm there in a flash of light That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world And I think about you, think about you all day long Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world And I think about just loving you the whole day long
I, I see a carnaval of joy I smell the cotton, then the merry-go-round illusion There is no right conclusion
People play games for a cuddly toy And a marching band plays for the children who laugh with me That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world And I think about you, think about you all day long Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world And I think about
Zuray Zurita Composer(s): David Beigbeder Performer(s): Raphael
Tanto quehacer en la quebrada y en el llano Tanto sembrar porque no falte el pan de trigo Tanto bregar con la tormenta y el verano El indio se olvido de cantar El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto sudar por mantener el fuego vivo Tanto labrar y cepillar bien la madera Tanto subir y descender por los abismos El indio se olvido de cantar El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Tanto gritar por conducir bien el ganado Tanto dormir en cualquier parte del camino Tanto llorar y suspirar en solitario El indio se olvido de cantar El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto mirar porque no queme el sol el trigo Tanto cuidar que no se pierda la cosecha Tanto luchar de sol a sol porque es preciso El indio se olvido de cantar El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza Zurai zurita, zurai zurita Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita

Zwei Kleine Italiener
(Italian Version: Un Bacio All'italiana)
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn; Georg Buschor
First performance by: Conny Froboess - 1962
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die träumen von Napoli
Von Tina und Marina
Die warten schon lang auf sie
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die sind so allein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön
Zwei kleine Italiener
Vergessen die Heimat nie
Die Palmen und die Mädchen
Am Strande von Napoli
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die sehen es ein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön
Zwei kleine Italiener
Am Bahnhof da kennt man sie
Sie kommen jeden Abend
Zum D-Zug nach Napoli
Zwei kleine Italiener
Stehn stumm hinterdrein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön
Suzanne Composer(s): Leonard Cohen First release by: Judy Collins - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1968 - Suzanne (by Graeme Allwright) 1969 - Suzanne (by Herman van Veen) 1971 - Suzanne (by Anni-Frid Lyngstad) 1972 - Suzanne (Fabrizio De André) 2004 - Susan (by Thomas Troelsen)
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said "All men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them" But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust him For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From Salvation Army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While Suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
Zwischen Heute Und Morgen Composer(s): Peter Kreuder; H.F. Beckmann Performer(s): Greta Keller
Es kann zwischen heute und Morgen So unsagbar vieles geschehen Du kannst zwischen heute und morgen Eine andere schönere sehen Drum sollst du mir heute nichts erzählen Ich liebe dich so wie du bist Man soll sich mit Reden die Stunde nicht stehlen In denen man besser glücklich ist Man sagt oft was man dann später bereut
Und täusch sich in sein Gefühl Das Herz wird zwar älter im laufe der Zeit Nur lernen tut es nicht viel Es scheint oft, als ob man die Wahrheit spricht Und lügt doch selber nur an Drum spar dir die Worte Ich glaube die nicht Von Liebe spricht schnell jeder Mann

Suzanne neemt je mee naar een bank aan het water duizend schepen gaan voorbij en toch wordt 't maar niet later en je weet dat zij goed gek is want daarom zit je naast haar en ze geeft je pepermuntjes want ze geeft je graag iets tastbaars en net als je haar wilt zeggen 'ik kan jou geen liefde geven' komt heel de stad tot leven en hoor je meeuwen schreeuwen je hebt steeds van haar gehouden en je wilt wel met haar meegaan samen naar de overkant en je moet haar wel vertrouwen want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand
en Jezus was een visser die het water zo vertrouwde dat Hij zomaar over zee liep omdat Hij had leren houden van de golven en de branding waarin niemand kan verdrinken Hij zei: 'Als men blijft geloven kan de zwaarste steen niet zinken' Maar de hemel ging pas open toen Zijn lichaam was gebroken en hoe Hij heeft geleden dat weet alleen die Visser aan 't kruis en je wilt wel met Hem meegaan samen naar de overkant en je moet Hem wel vertrouwen want Hij houdt al jouw gedachten in Zijn hand
Suzanne neemt je mee naar een bank aan het water je onthoudt waar ze naar kijkt als herinnering voor later en het zonlicht lijkt wel honing waaraan kinderen zich te goed doen en het grasveld ligt bezaaid met wat de mensen zoal weg doen in de goot liggen de helden met een glimlach op de lippen en de meeuwen in de lucht lijken net verdwaalde stippen als Suzanne je lachend aankijkt en je wilt wel met haar meegaan samen naar de overkant en je moet haar wel vertrouwen want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand
