Septembre est venu dans la lumière J'ai jeté mon sac à l'hôtel du port Un goût de sel sur une paupière brulée J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore si tu m'aimes encore
Accoudé au bar de l'univers C'est l'heure où la bière se transforme en or Un soleil rouge éclaire nos voiles usées J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore
Criolla Ce soir je chanterai pour toi Criolla J'ai composé d'autres sambas Je veux d'alcool et des chansons Je veux les fruits de la passion Tu verras au fond de mes yeux Beaucoup de visages Marins perdus, frères déchirés Par les grands orages Il y a trois sortes de gens Les morts et les vivants Et ceux qui sont en mer
La plage est déserte, j'entends la mer Battre les remparts de Saint-Malo Murs de granit que rien ne peut tomber Dites-moi, si elle m'aime encore J'ai le cur gonflé d'un mal étrange Comme les immigrants et les étrangers Je ne sais pas si je dérange encore Je n'sais rien, je viens d'arriver
Criolla Ce soir tu danserais pour moi Criolla Dans le bar du tropicana Chansons de mer, chansons d'amour Au fond des verres, on voit le jour Si tu veux encore de ma peau De mes tatouages Je dormirais dans ton lit clos Très loin des nuages Si rien n'est plus comme avant Je s'rais un mort vivant Comme ceux qui sont en mer
J'ai ramené du rhum de Jamaïque Et des champignons du Mexique J't'ai ramené des fleurs des tropiques Et des gris-gris du Centre-Afrique Des odeurs du sang d'la musique Des couleurs et des cicatrices J'ai brûlé les bougies du saint Arrosées de mon sang carmin J'appelle Yemanja de la mer Celle qui tue ou bien espère
La nuit est tombée sur mes prières Elle s'est endormie à l'hôtel du port Mon goût de sel sur sa crinière mouillée Avec elle, je voyage encore... je voyage encore... je voyage encore...
I lit a cigarette picked up a monkey start to go The sun was spitting fire the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice"
I walked a dinosaur I walked a dinosaur! Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody walk the dinosaur
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
I met you in a cave you were painting Buffalo
I said I'd be your slave follow wherever you go That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
I walked a dinosaur I walked a dinosaur! . . .
A shadow from the sky much too big to be a bird
A screaming crashing noise louder than I've ever heard It looked like two big silver trees that somehow learned to soar
Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar
I killed a dinosaur I killed a dinosaur! Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur Open the door get on the floor everybody kill the dinosaur
A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré ((Adapted from: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Rex Harrison) - 1956)) ((Dutch Version: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld)) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas Performer(s): Manolo Fabregas
Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya! A su mirar me acostumbré Con ella el sol volvió a nacer A su vivir me acostumbré Y a verla junto a mí Andar, reír, hablar, gemir
Una segunda juventud Un nuevo día en mi vivir Yo me jactaba de ser libre De ser dueño de mi ser Libre sin que nadie me dijera lo que hacer Hasta que al fin la conocí Y así me acostumbré a ser un nuevo ser
Casarse con Freddy, Ja! Que descabellada, que dura, tonta y absurda idea Pero las pagará, las pagará Esa boda es un desastre Aún antes de la bendición
Puedo verla ya, con su digna majestad En un cuarto miserable de pensión Puedo verla ya sin poder ni pan comprar En la puerta un enfurecido cobrador Querrá lucrar con mis lecciónes Para el marido mantener Y otra vez vendiendo flores En el arroyo ha de ser Ja!
En un año más con el pelo todo gris Sus mejillas lucerán otro color Y el marido aquél que juró amor sin fin Habrá ido a Paris o Nuevo York Pobre Eliza Que horrible caso! Que degradante! Que delicioso!
Y que tremenda noche en que envitablemente llamará Y acudirá a mi puerta ahogada en llanto Desesperada y sóla, arrepentida y contrita La dejaré entrar o la echaré a los lobos? Seré bondadoso o le daré merecido? La invitaré o la arrojaré como un trapo viejo?
Soy un hombre sin rencor Y es más sin torquedad sin maldad Nunca he sacado ventaja de alguien jamás Todo un hombre sin rencor Más, yo nunca más atestaré Aún de rodillas a mis pies Aunque jure por su honor Aunque llore de dolor Con la puerta en las narices le daré! Casarse con Freddy Bah!
Sin embargo escucho aún su risa al despertar Su linda voz, sus sí's, sus no's Una segunda juventud Un nuevo día en mi vivir Por suerte siempre ha sido fácil Olvidar a una mujer Todo el mundo lo hace Yo podré también, si no es Por la costumbre que hay en mí De algo que no sé, de algo que sentí
Walk Tall Composer(s): Sid Wayne Performer(s): Val Doonican; and various other artists
(Walk tall)
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now Through these prison bars I see things so much different now I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Walk tall (Walk tall)
Walk Right Now Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Jackie Jackson; Randy Jackson Performer(s): The Jacksons
Here, when all my work is done She calls and she says, dear, can I come? I say to her, that you know our love has gone But aggressive heart, you're really not the one She comes to the door, crying at my feet Guilt shines in her eyes As she slowly sinks in deep You know our love couldn't last forever Persuade your way, but you ain't clever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be I say ohh, I'm screamin' out for someone And now she's knockin' on the door for me She just won't leave me alone She wants to speak with me And persuade me in her arms And now she's callin' on the phone for me Just won't leave me alone Deep down inside she's trying to be clever To love once more then leave me forever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin' (Repeat)
I try so hard to cope with you I can't bear with the things you put me through To love as friends, I wish that we could see But persuasive heart, you just won't let pure friendship be You know our love couldn't last forever Persuade your way, but you ain't clever I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin' Walk right now, I ain't playin' Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin' Don't look back, you ain't stayin' (Repeat)

A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky) Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Sammy Mysels Performer(s): Joy Nichols and multiple other artists
There's a strawberry moon in a blueberry sky In a garden high over Manhattan Oh what a heavenly pattern Even your ma and your pa never saw such a
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky Looming over two starry eyed people Gazing at stars round the steeple Of the church where I'll marry you soon Under a strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon
There's a strawberry cottage in blueberry lane On the outskirts of merry Manhattan Furnished with silk and with satin Curtains of lace and three windows that face that old
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky And a strawberry patch in the garden So glad that we put a yard in We're expecting some blueberries soon Under a strawberry moon.
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon What a heavenly strawberry moon
Walk Right Back Composer(s): Sonny Curtis Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me I'm so lonesome every day I want you to know that since you walked out on me Nothing seems to be the same old way

A Stranger On Earth Composer(s): Sid Feller - Rick Ward Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull and multiple other artists
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong But somehow those folks belong Me, I try for all I'm worth But I still remain a stranger on this earth
Some people gloom, other folk cry Me, I have to struggle to keep alive Ever since the day of my birth I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth
I try to be what all folks should Forgetting the bad and doing good But no matter how I try My troubles always multiply
Now I've been doing the best I can Ever since life began Some day when I prove my worth I won't be a stranger on earth
Now I've been living the best I can Ever since my life began The day's gonna come when I prove my worth And I won't be no stranger No, I won't be a stranger On this earth
A Stranger In Paree Composer(s): Harry Warren Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
If you're lonely, you're in danger If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree Ah! oui, oui There are lots of famous places you'll never get to see When a pair of lips "Bonjour" you And two beautiful eyes "Amour" you You'll wonder why So did I I met her at the Martinique There isn't much to tell She was so chicque and I was weak And so, I fell for the Mademoiselle And discovered that she was from New Rochelle Her French was simply frightful But her kisses were so delightful How she fooled me Ah! oui, oui If you're lonely, you're in danger If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree
Walk On The Water Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Late last night, I went for a walk Down by the river near my home Couldn't believe, with my own eyes And I swear I'll never leave my home again
I saw a man walking on the water Coming right at me from the other side Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid" Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain I don't want to go; I don't want to go
No, no, no, no, no... I don't want to go Mmmmmmm...
Walk On The Wild Side Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): Lou Reed

Candy came from out on the Island In the back room she was everybody's darlin' But she never lost her head Even when she was givin' head She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...

A Story Untold Composer(s): Leroy Griffin Performer(s): The Crew Cuts
Well here in my heart, there's a story untold of a girl who left me standing, standing in the cold and since she's been away I've never had a happy day
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea and maybe someday, she'll come back to me for, here in my heart, there's a story untold
For all you've said and done you said we'd be as one but darling I found I was wrong but what did you do, right from the start you made of fool of me and then you broke my heart well
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea and maybe someday, she'll come back to me For, here in my heart, there's a story untold
Walk On By Composer(s): Kendall Hayes Performer(s): Leroy Van Dyke; and various other artists
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town Pardon me if I don't say hello (say hello) I belong to another, it wouldn't look so good To know someone I'm not supposed to know
Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
In a dimly lit corner in a place outside of town Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again (say goodbye) But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night I can't let you go so why pretend
Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
Walk On By Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry And walk on by (don't stop) And walk on by (don't stop) And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by and walk on by and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by (don't stop) and walk on by (don't stop) and walk on by (don't stop)
A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine And let me drink to a love I thought was mine A love I thought was true to me But now I'm drinking to her memory A steel guitar and a glass of wine While my tears they glisten and the candles shine Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright Tell me who she holds tonight
And bring me wine And make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
Mmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And bring me wine Make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
And bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so
