Je lacht nog, voor hoelang nog In je ogen, nergens pijn De liefde is zo sterk nog Ook al mag het niet meer zijn
Maar kiss me goodbye Voor het leven jou verlaat Nog één keer, nog één kus Het wordt laat Laat me je ziel Want ik ben zo fragiel Laat me iets Waardoor ik weet dat jij bestaat Blijf dicht bij mij Reis met mij door de tijd Voor zolang ik niet echt bij jou kan zijn En als ik slaap, leef dan in m'n droom Maar voor je gaat kiss me goodbye
Nog even, nog heel even Lig je naast me, zacht en warm Ik zal je nooit vergeten Leg je hoof maar in m'n arm
En kiss me goodbye Voor het leven jou verlaat Nog één keer, nog één kus Het wordt laat Laat me je ziel Want ik ben zo fragiel Laat me iets Waardoor ik weet dat jij bestaat Blijf dicht bij mij Reis met mij door de tijd Voor zolang ik niet echt bij jou kan zijn En als ik slaap, leef dan in m'n droom Maar voor je gaat kiss me goodbye
Porte 13 J'suis en retard Mes valises pèsent Aussi lourd qu'une aérogare
J'choisis plus Été hiver Fromage dessert Ma montre a flippé Ses aiguilles se sont plantées
Et je vis le jour de mes nuits La tête à l'envers Et ma vie est un décalage horaire
Un amour à Vancouver Une fille moto M'a découvert dans le désert
Une brune à Shangai Ouais, sous son chandail Ses seins ont flippé C'était minuit dans mon grenier
Et quand j'aime les filles de la terre La bouche à l'envers Mon cur même est un décalage horaire
Une guitare Une p'tite MG Un blouson noir Chante au Golf Drouot Ou au square de la Trinité Et je vis le temps à l'envers L'endroit ou l'envers Oui, toute ma vie est un décalage horaire

Nach vielen schönen Tagen Darling, lässt du mich allein Ich liebe dich noch immer und kann dir nicht böse sein
So kiss me, goodbye es war schön für uns zwei Dieses Glück es verging, eh es begann Ich wünsche mir einen Kuss noch von dir einen Kuss den ich nie vergessen kann
Glaube es mir ich steh lächelnd vor dir doch ich bin tief im Herzen nicht froh Zum letzen Mal und dann bist du frei my Darling, kiss me, goodbye
Wie schade um uns beide heut fällt sie zu, die Tür Es wartet eine Andre mags ihr besser gehn als mir
So kiss me, goodbye es war schön für uns zwei Dieses Glück das verging, eh es begann Ich wünsche mir einen Kuss noch von dir einen Kuss den ich nie vergessen kann
Glaube es mir ich steh lächelnd vor dir doch ich bin tief im Herzen nicht froh Zum letzen Mal und dann bist du frei my Darling, kiss me, goodbye My Darling, kiss me, goodbye
Débranche Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall; Ricky Peterson; Vinnie Colaiuta
Nos voitures dorment en bas comme des bébés Et la Soul Music traîne sur la bande FM Il n'reste que du brouillard sur les chaînes de télé Y a quelque chose entre nous Quelque chose qu'on aime Et si tu veux me dire Ce que tes yeux veulent me dire Je t'en prie n'attends pas la fin de la nuit
Débranche, débranche Coupe la lumière et coupe le son Débranche, débranche tout Débranche, débranche, débranche tout Revenons à nous Débranche tout
Le monde tient à un fil Moi je tiens à mon rêve Rester maître du temps et des ordinateurs Retrouvons-nous d'un coup au temps d'Adam et Eve Coupe les machines à rêves Écoute parler mon cur Si tu veux m'entendre dire ce que mes yeux veulent te dire Je t'en prie n'attends pas la fin de la nuit
Débranche, débranche Coupe la lumière et coupe le son Débranche, débranche tout Débranche, débranche, débranche tout Revenons à nous Débranche tout

For you There might be a brighter star But through my eyes the light of you is all I see
For you There might be another song But all my heart can hear is your melody
So long ago my heart without demanding Informed me that no other love could do But listen did I not though understanding Fell in love with one Who would break my heart in two
For you Love might bring a toast of wine But with each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you Love might be for you to find But I will celebrate our love of yesterday
So long ago my heart without demanding Informed me that no other love could do But listen did I not though understanding I fell in love with one Who would break my heart in two
For you There might be another star But through my eyes the light of you is all I see
For you There might be another song But in my heart your melody will stay with me
Debout
Composer(s): Lionel Florence - Pascal Obispo
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Debout dans la cour d'école Quand on grandit avec les loups Je n'ai jamais courbé le cou Ni même touché du front le sol
Si de ma vie j'ai écarté Tous ces perdants au garde à vous Oh, je me suis battu pour mes idées Mais personne ne m'a vu à genoux
Oh! Debout J'aurais toujours vécu Debout Malgré les insultes Et les coups Sans tout comprendre je l'avoue Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout Debout
Bien sûr j'ai aimé l'amour Je l'ai libéré de sa cage Et j'ai gagné en douleur et en courage Oui j'ai aimé comme un sourd Et chaque fois un peu plus grand Mon cur se lève et j'oublie tout Je n'ai que le droit d'être vivant Et d'être un homme avant tout
Oh! Debout J'aurais toujours vécu Debout Malgré les insultes Et les coups Sans tout comprendre Je l'avoue Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout Debout
Debout dans la cour d'école J'ai grandit avec les loups J'en ai gardé les marques au cou Même si aujourd'hui j'en rigole
Quand on a plus rien à prouver Peu importe qui est derrière vous Une seule personne m'a aimé Et c'est pour elle que je suis resté Debout, debout J'aurais toujours vécu Debout Malgré les insultes Et les coups Sans tout comprendre Je l'avoue Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout Debout Debout Sans tout comprendre Je l'avoue Mais j'ai toujours vécu debout Et je le resterai jusqu'au bout Debout Jusqu'au bout Oui debout Debout Debout
Debo Partirme En Dos Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
No se crean que es majadería Que nadie se levante aunque me ría Hace rato que vengo lidiando con gente que dice que yo canto cosas indecentes
Te quiero, mi amor no me dejes solo No puedo estar sin ti mira que yo lloro
¿No ven?, ya soy decente me fue fácil Que el público se agrupe y que me aclame Que se acerquen los niños los amantes del ritmo Que se queden sentados los intelectuales Debo partirme en dos
Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa la suerte que pueda correr una canción Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa que luego me suspendan la función
Yo también canté en tonos menores Yo también padecí de esos dolores Yo también parecía cantar como un santo Yo también repetí en millones de cantos
Te quiero, mi amor no me dejes solo No puedo estar sin ti mira que yo lloro
Pero me fui enredando en más asuntos y aparecieron cosas de este mundo «Fusil contra fusil», «La canción de la Trova» y «la era pariendo» se puso de moda Debo partirme en dos
Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa la suerte que pueda correr una canción Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa que luego me suspendan la función
Yo quería cantar encapuchado y después confundirme a vuestro lado aunque así no tuviera amigos y citas y algún que otro favor de una chica bonita
Te quiero, mi amor no me dejes solo No puedo estar sin ti mira que yo lloro
No voy a repetir ese estribillo Algunos ojos miran con mal brillo y estoy temiendo ahora no ser interpretado casi siempre sucede que se piensa algo malo Debo partirme en dos
Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa la suerte que pueda correr una canción Unos dicen que aquí otros dicen que allá y sólo quiero decir sólo quiero cantar y no importa que luego me suspendan la función
Another Spring Composer(s): Angelo Badalamenti - John Clifford Performer(s): Nina Simone
Old people talk to themselves When they sit all round all day This old woman I knew I used to go over there and sit with her And shed be sitting around In a rocking chair talking to herself
And she used to say she used to say Sometimes the cold gets in my bones so bad Till I just dont think I can go Yeah and for a little while well I dont care If my days are coming to an end And just as soon be gone sometimes
Sometimes the night comes down on me And I know whats ahead An evening in this cold old house With no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bed An evening in this cold old house With no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bed
Sometimes I wonder why I stay What am I waiting for My children are grown and gone away They got children of their own now Dont need me anymore
In winter when the streets are bare There aint nothing much to see I just cant help missing and thinking About that kindly man That one old winter time came And took away from me
And then one morning Another spring is there outside my door Things are blooming Birds are singing And suddenly yes well I aint sad Aint sad no more aint sad no more
When its warm and the sun is out Its like my hearts restored Ive had my love Ive had my children And I have so many memories So dont mind me complaining What the years may bring
Cos this old world has been fine with me really And Im thankful for seeing another spring Its gonna be better this time another spring Its gonna be groovier this time another spring Its whats happening this time So Im thankful for letting me see another spring
Debo escuchar otra vez la guitarra del barrio y recorrer mi ciudad para reconocerla debo volverme a encantar como supe de niño y despertar como un dios que alargara la sienta
Debo leer en el mar la lección de lo inmenso y renombrar el color que la vida me enseña debo saber respirar un oxígeno fresco y regresar a ese sol que contigo me espera
Debo aprender que mañana es un mundo habitable lleno de instantes, promesas y besos y sueños debo encontrar la semilla del hijo y del padre debo bañarme otra vez en el claro deseo en el hondo deseo, deseo
Debo ponerme a brillar con la luna entreabierta y recostarme en la paz que humedece tu abrigo debo saberle cantar a una noche tan nueva como aquella que una vez estrenaras conmigo

Debbie Denise Composer(s): Albert Bouchard; Patti Smith Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult
She kept the light open, all night long For me to come home, and sing her my song Oh Debbie Denise was true to me She'd wait by the window, so patiently And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down She'd pin it up, and softly smile
But I was out rolling with my band And I was out rolling with my band
I never realized, she was so undone I didn't suspect she had no life of her own She was so true but she was a she She was just there I would just come Stumbling in she'd show me she'd care I didn't care cause she was just there
But I was out rolling with my band And I was out rolling with my band
I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time She wouldn't accept that she was free Oh Debbie Denise was true to me She'd wait by the window so bitterly
Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed I couldn't see, so what could I say That more affection could I show her I had only one thing on my mind
When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair And out past the fields out the window I'd stare
Where I was out rolling with my band I was out rolling with my band
Another Sleepless Night Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Jimmy Clanton and multiple other artists
The nights have been so lonely since you went away I could not get to sleep try as I may But now you're back, and you're here to stay ...
Still it looks like another sleepless night Oh but darlin', that's alright Just as long as you are holdin' me tight Makin' love 'till the early morning light Only whets our appetite This will be another sleepless night
Hold me, while the moon shines in through the window Let your love flow Hold me, we can orchestrate love's scenario with the radio
Still it looks like another sleepless night Oh but darlin', that's alright Just as long as you are holdin' me tight
Hold me, while the moon shines ...
Still it looks like another sleepless night Oh but darlin', that's alright Just as long as you are holdin' me tight Makin' love 'till the early morning light Only wets our appetite This will be another sleepless night
Debajo De Mi Almohada Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Debajo de mi almohada vivirán todas mis cosas mis lágrimas, mi alegría mi sed, mi miedo y mis bromas mi fe, mi ayer, mi esperanza mis espinas y mis rosas Debajo de mi almohada volarán todos mis sueños y alcanzaré las estrellas con sólo estirar mis dedos y subiré hasta la luna como si fuera en un cuento Debajo de mi almohada dormirá sólo tu nombre y aquella noche de amor que me convertiste en hombre Debajo de mi almohada enterraré mis fracasos mi miseria y mi tristeza mi injusticia y mi pasado el otoño de mi vida y un amor que me hizo daño Debajo de mi almohada la muerte me esperara a que me sienta cansado y me olvide despertar
Another Sleep Song Composer(s): Graham Nash Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
All I need is someone to awaken me much of me has gone to sleep and I'm afraid to wake up shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying with you now when I talk about the time I sleep away when it's hard to face the day When I think of all the love that's taken me how much do I get to keep and much should I give up? shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying to you now I'm listening to the lies inside my head who can hurt you in your bed?
Fear of other people is a thing I hate I travel in a bubble and I can't relate Something is happening to my head I don't want to hurt you but I never heard a word you said
Has this empty hollow heart forsaken me? I wonder if I'll ever get to feel like I did before I grew up shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying with you now There is no time to waste another day 'Cause we watch them fly away

Another Saturday Night In Heaven Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Neal Robert Joseph - William J. Tuohy Performer(s): Dion
Joshua sails with Jonah in Noah's Ark Stephen winks and shows his victory sign Joseph sports his many-coloured coat Job, he takes it one day at a time Simon Peter has to check his sword Here in heaven, peace will reign supreme John the Baptist raises mankind's flag Brother Daniel, He recites his dream

Death Of An Unpopular Poet Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
I once knew a poet Who lived before his time He and his dog Spooner Would listen while he'd rhyme Words to make ya happy Words to make you cry Then one day the poet suddenly did die
But he left behind a closet Filled with verse and rhyme And through some strange transaction One was printed in the Times And everybody's searchin' For the king of undergound Well they found him down in Florida With a tombstone for a crown
Everybody knows a line From his book that cost four ninety-nine I wonder if he knows he's doin' Quite this fine
'Cause his books are all best sellers And his poems were turned to song Had his brother on a talk show Though they never got along And now he's called immortal Yes he's even taught in school They say he used his talents A most proficient tool
But he left all of his royalties To Spooner his ol' hound Growin' old on steak and bacon In a doghouse ten feet 'round And everybody wonders Did he really lose his mind No he was just a poet who lived before his time He was just a poet who lived before his time
Glad To Know You Composer(s): Ian Dury - Chaz Jankel Performer(s): Chaz Jankel; Kitty Grant
You wander in upon my life and haven't lost me yet Said the turkey to the carving knife "What you give is what you get" A fresh and mildly summers day, we thought would never end Said the bloodhound to the stack of bay "I thought you were my friend"
I thought you were my friend Glad to know you, and our way of welcome Pleased to meet you
We laugh and cry as lovers will And howl at many moons Said the waiter as he wrote the bill "Please return the spoons" As hand in hand we wander on Through life's own wondrous maze Said Robin Hood to Little John "There must be other ways"
There must be other ways Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you
We rest and kissed and talked and strolled and buried precious idle Said knife and fork to sausage roll "It's prickly in the middle" And thus it seems come rain and shine, the patience still unfolds Said the piker upon the Anglers Line "I wish that I'd been told"
I wish that I'd been told Glad to know you, and your very welcome Pleased to meet you
I wish that I'd been told Glad to know you, and your very welcome Pleased to meet you
I wish that I'd been told Glad to know you, our way of saying welcome Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you
I wish that I'd been told Glad to know you, and our way of welcome
Death Of A Salesman
Composer(s): Saul Broudy - Steve Burgh - Steve Goodman - Jeff Gutcheon - Lew London - Jim Rothermel
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
A traveling salesman stopped for gas, as it was getting late He sure was getting tired, and it was snowing on the Interstate He says, "Will you fill her up, my friend, and see if my oil's alright And do you know a place where a tired-out traveling man might spend the night?"
The attendant winked at him and says, "I'll bet you've been around Well the man who puts up lodgers here is known as Farmer Brown You'll find him in that old stone house that's just at the edge of town And he has a fifteen-year-old daughter who likes to fool around"
The salesman winked right back at him and a smile came to his lips He paid for the gas and the oil and then he gave that man a tip He started out and pushed that old gas pedal down to the floor He was off like a bat and in nothing flat he was at the farmer's door
The door opened up and a beautiful girl says, "Won't you come on it?" That traveling salesman's tongue was hanging out like Rin-Tin-Tin "That old gas station attendant said I would find you here And do you have a suitable room you could rent to me, my dear?"
"Alas, kind sir, I'm sorry but the last one's gone, you see So if you want to spend the night, you'll have to sleep with me" He says, "How fortuitous, my pretty little miss!" And he throws his arms around her and he gives that girl a kiss
Now her warm and tender ruby lips he scarcely could believe And he never saw the hammer she had hidden up her sleeve She said, "I'm geting sleepy. It's time to go to bed" And as they turned to climb the stairs she whupped him on the head
The very next day, the salesman's car, with brand new license plates Was sitting at Farmer Brown's Gas Station out on the Interstate So all you traveling salesmen who might be passing through Better watch your step or the traveling salesman joke will be on you!
