Mein Lieber Herr Spanish Title: Mi Querido Señor Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi; Lana Sebastian; Paul Sebastian Performer(s): Dalida
Elle l'appelait Mein lieber herr Dans une mansarde ou ils s'aimaient des nuits entière Et dans ses yeux, elle revoyait Sourire son père, chanter sa mère avant la guerre Elle lui disait Mein Lieber herr S'il devinait que c'est vous qui m'avez sauvé Ne partez pas Mein Lieber herr Vous voyez bien je n'ai plus rien que vous sur terre
Il répondait surtout n'écoute plus ta peur Avec un peu d'espoir le monde sera meilleur
Aufwiedersehen lieber Bientôt je reviendrai De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini Les arbres seront en fleur Les hommes auront du cur Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber
Elle l'appelait Mein Lieber herr Et leur histoire était la plus belle des victoires Elle m'écoutait, Mein Lieber herr Lui racontait tout ce qu'un jour ils allaient faire
Nous marcherons dans toutes les rues illuminées Nous dînerons sur les terrasses d'un café
Aufwiedersehen lieber Bientôt je reviendrai De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini Les arbres seront en fleur Les hommes auront du cur Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber
Elle l'attendait Mein Lieber herr Jour après jour dans le silence des bruits d'enfer Elle s'inventait Des nuits d'hivers Au coin d'un feu libre et heureux après là...
"Elle n'appelle plus Mein Lieber herr 30 ans après une veille enfant aux yeux d'hiver ne parle plus, ne sais même plus qu'il y est eu une guerre"
Mais certains soirs lorsqu'elle retrouve sa mémoire Ses yeux s'allume soudain elle raconte son histoire
Aufwiedersehen lieber Bientôt je reviendrai De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini Les arbres seront en fleur Les hommes auront du cur Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber Aufwiedersehen lieber Bientôt je reviendrai De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini
La la la... De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini Aufwiedersehen lieber Bientôt je reviendrai De Berlin à Paris La guerre sera fini...
Once In A While Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): Barry Bostwick; and various other artists
Brad: Once in a while, she don't want to call you Speaking on the telephone And once in your life, she won't want to know you You look around The one you've found, she is gone
And that's all the time that it takes For a heart to turn to stone The sweeter the wine The harder to make the break You hear something about someone You'd thought you'd known
So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow After the night there's a brand new day And there'll be no pain, and no more sorrow So wash your face And phone my place, it'll be okay
And that's all the time that it takes For a heart to beat again So give me a sign That a lover makes You look around The one you've found is back again

10:15 Saturday night And the tap drips Under the strip light And I'm sitting In the kitchen sink And the tap drips Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...
Waiting For the telephone to ring And I'm wondering Where she's been And I'm crying for yesterday And the tap drips Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...
Linda On My Mind ((French Version: Les Larmes De Belinda (by Johnny Hallyday)) Composer(s): Conway Twitty Performer(s): Conway Twitty
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind And Lord it's killing me to see her crying She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
Yes I know that I once loved her And I placed no one above her And I never thought I'd ever set her free But it just wasn't in my plan The way Linda squeezed my hand The first time that I held her close as she danced with me
She said I've loved you for a long time But you're married to a friend of mine And I tried hard to never let it show But my love for you is stronger I can't hide it any longer And so I thought I'd better let you know
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind And Lord it's killing me to see her crying She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind ...

Dein letzter Brief kam heute früh Du schreibst du bist auf deinem Weg Zu einem unbekannten Ziel Wohin der Wind dich gerade weht Du sagst du folgst der Sonne nach Doch bist du sicher was du tust Nach allem was du je gesagt Ist das die Straße die du suchst
Doch wohin du auch gehst Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich Da ist niemand in deiner Welt Der dich liebt wie ich Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt Dort am Horizont Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich Wenn du wiederkommst
Auch wenn du schreibst du bist bei mir Wenn du auf fremden Wolken fliegst Weiß ich dein Herz ist nicht mehr hier Nur mit dem Land durch das du ziehst Jeder Weg hat auch ein Ziel Und sei es nur im Niemandsland Verlierer gibt's in jedem Spiel Und Träume sterben irgendwann
Doch wohin du auch gehst Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich Da ist niemand in deiner Welt Der dich liebt wie ich Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt Dort am Horizont Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich Wenn du wiederkommst
In tausend Tagen oder mehr Wenn du die Ozeane kennst Kommst du vielleicht zurück zu mir Weil deine Sonne nicht mehr brennt
La la la lala la la la Lala la la la La la la lala la la la Lala la la la
Da ist niemand in deiner Welt Der dich liebt wie ich Auch wenn Jahre vergeh'n Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich

There's a blue moon shinin' when I am reminded of all we've been through Such a blue moon ... shinin' Does it ever shine down on you?
You act as if it never hurt you at all Like I'm the only one who's gettin' up from a fall Don't you remember? Can't you recall? just once ... in a very blue moon just once in a very blue moon just once ... in a very blue moon and I feel one comin' on soon ... just once ... in a very ... blue moon

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...
How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My God!...
What Have I Done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
A Christmas Carol
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer and multiple other artists
Christmas time is here, by golly Disapproval would be folly Deck the halls with hunks of holly Fill the cup and don't say when
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens Even though the prospect sickens Brother, here we go again
On Christmas Day you can't get sore Your fellow man you must adore There's time to rob him all the more The other three hundred and sixty-four
Relations, sparing no expense 'll Send some useless old utensil Or a matching pen and pencil ("Just the thing I need, how nice!")
It doesn't matter how sincere it is Nor how heartfelt the spirit Sentiment will not endear it What's important is the price
Hark, the Herald Tribune sings Advertising wondrous things God rest ye merry merchants May ye make the Yuletide pay Angels we have heard on high Tell us to go out and buy!
So, let the raucous sleighbells jingle Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle Driving his reindeer across the sky Don't stand underneath when they fly by

Just once in a lifetime A man knows a moment One wonderful moment When fate takes his hand And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
As I was drifting off to sleep On this Christmas eve My thoughts turned to looking back At how this came to be Long ago and far away On a night so clear It was such a simple thing To echo through the years
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Soon there will be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
An angel brought his tidings Not to priests and kings But to shepherds in their fields Afraid and trembling And standing in the manger How were they to know How the world would change around This babe in swaddling clothes
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Now there can be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
Se a noite não tem fundo O mar perde o valor Opaco é o fim do mundo Pra qualquer navegador Que perde o oriente E entra em espirais E topa pela frente Um contingente Que ele já deixou pra trás
Os soluços dobram tão iguais Seus rivais, seus irmãos Seu navio carregado de ideais Que foram escorrendo feito grãos As estrelas que não voltam nunca mais E um oceano pra lavar as mãos
Once I Was Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram
Once I was a soldier And I fought on foreign sands for you Once I was a hunter And I brought home fresh meat for you Once I was a lover And I searched behind your eyes for you And soon there'll be another To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
And though you have forgotten All of our rubbish dreams I find myself searching Through the ashes of our ruins For the days when we smiled And the hours that ran wild With the magic of our eyes And the silence of our words
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
A Christmas Letter
Composer(s): Gene Nelson - John Greenebaum - Paul Nelson
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
At an antique desk an old man sits alone Oh, it's Christmas Eve and it's almost time to go He signs his name to a letter he just wrote Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Then he walks outside and climbs upon his sleigh And calls out to his reindeer, then off they fly away Oh, tonight he'll make a million dreams appear While he wishes that his own dreams could come true this year
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
A day when hope and faith just conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Meglio Per Te Se Piangi French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Meglio per te se piangi Io ho pianto già per te Non sai per quante ore Ho portato con me Il ricordo di te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà Attenuerà il dolore E lo cancellerà Pena d'amore è breve Ombra sottile e lieve Che si allontanerà da te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà E dopo tanto dolore Da me ti guiderà Meglio per te spiangi Piangi, piangi...
