Rakkaus muistoja synnyttää rakkaus menneitä säilyttää maailmaan nuoruutta hehkuvaan riensimme kulkemaan sua niin kuin silloin muistan kun rakkaus merkitsi kaikkea elämään pohjan loit sä vain hengitin kuin osa oisin sua sydän rinnassain arkana tunteistain
Lämpöä päivät ja yöt tulvillaan kankailla kauneus haaveiden maan itkut ja naurut ja toiveemme nuo kehyksiin jäi eilisiin
Rakkaus muistoja synnyttää rakkaus menneitä säilyttää täyttäen toistemme tyhjyyden elimme loppuun sen sua niin kuin silloin muistan Kun rakkaus merkitsi kaikkea elämään pohjan loit sä vain hengitin kuin osa oisin sua sydän rinnassain arkana tunteistain (2x)

Liefde alleen Deel van herinnering Liefde alleen Deel van de eeuwigheid Hoe voor mij 't leven opnieuw begon Met enkel licht en zon En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam Hevig als laaiend vuur Alles werd eindeloos en puur Ik was jong M'n hart en ziel zo vrij 'k Werd een deel van jou En jij een deel van mij
Licht was de klank van ons eeuwig bestaan Ieder gebaar, ieder woord, elke traan Tedere kleuren vol warmte als jij Leefde in mijn gedachten
Liefde alleen Deel van herinnering Liefde alleen Deel van de eeuwigheid Elke dag was weer een nieuw verhaal Met weer een nieuwe taal En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam Hevig als laaiend vuur Alles werd eindeloos en puur Ik was jong M'n hart en ziel zo vrij 'k Werd een deel van jou En jij een deel van mij

J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage Un matin au pays des cigales La folie et le génie voyagent Bien au-delà du temps Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai tourné des pages Pendant mes années folles ou sages Pour quelqu'un qu'on ne met pas en cage C'est un beau cadeau l'amour en héritage
Et si ma vie se traduit en je t'aime Si mes chemins ont croisé des torrents On est toujours un oiseau de bohème Une enfant du printemps
J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage Un matin au pays des cigales La folie et le génie voyagent Bien au-delà du temps Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai écrit des pages Avant de poser mes bagages J'en ai vu tomber des pluies d'orage Avant de trouver l'amour en héritage

1966 - Tout Peut s'Arranger (Richard Anthony)

Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? While you see it your way Run a risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out
Think of what you're saying You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right Think of what I'm saying We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night We can work it out We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you see it your way There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out

Aber Dann ... Composer(s): Maria Grever - R.M. Siegel Performer(s): Greta Keller
Es begann wie ein Spiel Als wir zwei uns gesehen Nein, wir fragten nicht viel Und schon war es geschehen Aber dann, aber dann Als der Sturm sich gelegt War es das aller wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Trafen wir uns zu zweit Waren wir schon so froh Für ein Glück ohne Zeit Irgendwann, irgendwo Aber dann, aber dann Als der Sturm sich gelegt War die Angst das nicht wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Jeder Tag, jede Nacht Bin ich jetzt ohne dich Niemals hätte ich gedacht Du kamst aus ohne mich Aber dann, aber dann Es war doch etwas wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Denn nun weiß ich allein Wie mit dir wird es hier Nie wieder sein
We Can Talk Composer(s): Richard Manuel Performer(s): The Band
We can talk about it now It's that same old riddle only starting from the middle I'd fix it but I don't know how Well, we could try to reason but you might think it's treason One voice for all Echoing across the hall Don't give up on father clock We can talk about it now Come, let me show you how To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to keep the engine churnin' Did you ever milk a cow I had the chance one day but I was all dressed up for Sunday Everybody, everywhere Do you really care Pick up your heads and walk We can talk about it now It seems to me we've been holding something underneath our tongues I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back It would likely burst your lungs Woh, stop me, if I should sound kinda down in the mouth But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the south Pulling that eternal plough We've got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made Rest awhile and cool your brow Don't need it, no need to slave, the whip is in the grave No salt, no trance It's safe now to take a backward glance The leaves have turned to chalk We can talk about it now We can talk about it now
Abendsegen ((English Version: When At Night I Go To Sleep (by Charlotte Church)) Composer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck Performer(s): Kathleen Battle

We Can Reach An Understanding Composer(s): David & Rozaa Performer(s): David Essex
You won't ever be entirely mine But can't we meet from time to time? We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough All or nothing, that's what I should say But can't we find another way? We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough
If there's someone else with a claim on you Then I shouldn't hope for too much But I'd rather go for a day or two Than a life without your touch We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring...
We Can Fly Composer(s): Bill Cowsill; Steve Duboff; Artie Kornfeld Performer(s): The Cowsills; Loveletter
See how the fluffy clouds move by us (See how the clouds move by) See how the morning mist can hide us away, (hide us away) And how the day (and how it's) is so much fun!
Isn't it groovy in a daydream? (Dreaming today) Doesn't it seem the day could never end? (Could never end) And so, my friend, we're one
Baby, it's funny how I can feel so sunny? When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly!
Hey, Mr. Wind, just keep us sailing (Keep us sailing along) High in the sky, there's no curtaining our fun So everyone, come on! Hey, you on the ground! Take a look up, and see what we've found!
Nothing to tie us, bluebirds come up to guide us When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly! We can fly! Hey! Everyone on the ground, let's fly!
Abdul Abulbul Amir (aka The Ballad Of Ivan Petrofsky Skevar) (Adapted from: Abdulla Bulbul Ameer) Composer(s): William Percy French Performer(s): Frank Crumit - 1928 and multiple other artists
The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold And quite unaccustomed to fear But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah Was Abdul Abulbul Amir
If you wanted a man to encourage the van Or harass the foe from the rear Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout For Abdul Abulbul Amir
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame In the troops that were led by the Czar And the bravest of these was a man by the name Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun And donned his most truculent sneer Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
"Young man," quoth Abdul, "Has life grown so dull That you wish to end your career? Vile infidel know, you have trod on the toe Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
"So take your last look at the sunshine and brook And send your regrets to the Czar For by this I imply, you are going to die Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar"
"My friend, your remarks in the end Will avail you but little, I fear For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive Mister Abdul Abulbul Amir"
Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk Singing, "Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!" And with murderous intent he ferociously went For Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed Of blood they spilled a great part The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes Say that hash was first made on the spot
They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon The din, it was heard from afar And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame Of Abdul and Ivan Skavar
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!" He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly Expecting the victor to cheer But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
Czar Petrovich, too, in his spectacles blue Sauntered up in his gold-plated car And arrived just in time to exchange a last line With Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
There's a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls And engraved there in characters clear Is, "Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night Caused ripples to spread wide and far It was made by a sack fitting close to the back Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps Neath the light of the cold northern star And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps Is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
We Can Be Together Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
We can be together Ah you and me We should be together We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge Fred? Hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young But we should be together Come on all you people standing around Our life's too fine to let it die and We can be together All your private property is Target for your enemy And your enemy is We We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are we are And we are very Proud of ourselves Up against the wall Up against the wall Fred (motherfucker) Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Come on now together Get it on together Everybody together We should be together We should be together my friends We can be together We will be We must begin here and now A new continent of earth and fire Come on now getting higher and higher Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Won't you try

We Call On Him Composer(s): Fred Karger; Ben Weisman; Sid Wayne Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Allen Karl
We call on Him Whenever storm clouds gather We call on Him to light our darkest day Why must it be that only when we're lonely And hopes are dim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way To count our blessings and thank Him while we may
We call on Him when no-one else will answer We ask of Him a reason to go on When our cup of joy becomes a cup of sorrow Filled to the brim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way To count our blessings and thank Him while we may

We Built This City Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Martin Page; Bernie Taupin; Peter Wolf Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Chorus We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Say you don't know me or recognize my face Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio Don't you remember We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Repeat Chorus
Someone's always playing corporation games Who cares they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Repeat Chorus
It's just another Sunday in a tired old street Police have got the choke hold oh and we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars Don't tell us you need us 'cos we're just simple fools Looking for America crawling through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic)
Don't you remember (remember)
(Here's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city The city by the bay the city that rocks the city that never sleeps)
Repeat Chorus twice
(We built we built this city) built this city (we built we built this city) Repeat
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Performer(s): Sesame Street
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ I wish I knew exactly what I mean It starts out like an A-word As anyone can see But somewhere in the middle It gets awfully QR to me
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ If I ever find out just what this word can mean I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen
It might be kind of an elephant Or a funny kind of kazoo Or a strange exotic turtle You never see in a zoo Or maybe a kind of a doggie A particular shade of blue Or maybe a pretty flower Naah, not with a name like that...uh, uh!
We Both Walk Composer(s): Tom Shapiro; Chris Waters Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
Here you are on the porch again With your hat in your hand and a guilty grin Well baby I ain't gonna fall for that just because I always have And I'm not the only one who won't be taken in
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone
Whenever you get that itch to go You think I just sit and wait at home But I've walked miles behind these walls without getting anywhere at all And I think I've had enough of going down that road
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone
Don't you try to come through my door I can't watch you leave anymore When you go we both walk When you go we both walk You walk away and I walk alone You walk away and I walk alone
