Après L'amour Composer(s): Charles Aznavour First release by: Charles Aznavour - 1964
Versions In Other Languages: 1976 - Don't Say a Word (Charles Aznavour & Liesbeth List) 1977 - Dopo L'amore (Charles Aznavour & Mia Martini)
Nous nous sommes aimés, nos joies se sont offertes Et nos curs ont battu poussés par cet instinct Qui unit les amants en se fichant du reste
Glisse tes doigts par ma chemise entrouverte Et pose sur ma peau la paume de ta main Et les yeux mi-clos nous restons sans dire un mot Sans faire un geste
Après l'amour, quand nos corps se détendent Après l'amour, quand nos souffles sont courts
Nous restons étendus Toi et moi, presque nus Heureux, sans rien dire Éclairés d'un même sourire
Après l'amour, nous ne formons qu'un être Après l'amour, quand nos membres sont lourds
Au sein des draps froissés Nous restons enlacés Après l'amour Au creux du jour Pour aimer
Devil Wind Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Bob Welch
Well hello little girl, welcome to this big town I´ve been patiently waiting, let me show you around Did you bring lots of money, do you have nerves of steel And are you ready to gamble, put your heart on the wheel
Chorus: Oh oh, the devil wind Big town claims another win Is this how it all begins How the innocents have changed Oh oh, the devil wind Breaks another young heart again So this is how it always ends How the innocents have changed
I was born in this city, I destroyed my old man But he came to this city from an innocent land Now I should know better, I´d be a fool if I got hurt But you do what you have to, let me be the first
Chorus
After the devil wind stops blowin' Wake up and find your heart´s been broken
Don't Fight It (Feel It) Composer(s): Sam Cooke Performer(s): Ike & Tina Turner; Sam Cooke
Feel it, feel it
Baby when the band is playing and that solid beat O, make you wanna move, make you wanna groove make you wanna pat your feet Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it
No, now when we dance close together with your cheeck close to mine and you begin to feel, a funny little thrill moving up your spine Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it
Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip Don't be in pain, trying to restrain go ahead and move your hips Baby when you're dancing near me and I feel I wanna tease And when I do, the feeling gets you when you feel you wanna squeeze Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it feel it (many times)
Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip Don't be in pain, trying to restrain go ahead and move your hips Baby when you're dancing near me and I feel I wanna tease And when I do, the feeling gets you when you feel you wanna squeeze Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

Après La Fête (Jésus) Performer(s): Joe Dassin & Marcella
Et voici un nouveau jour qui se lève Pour notre amour La fête continue après la fête Et la vie reprend le cours de son rêve Pour notre amour Tout commence et pourtant je tremble Pour toi, pour toi. N'aie pas peur, n'aie pas peur Du nouveau jour qui se lève Sur notre amour N'aie pas peur de la nuit Quand elle viendra je serai là
J'ai si peur, peur que demain Tout s'arrête pour notre amour J'ai peur de ce qui vient après la fête C'set voilà qui tourne loin C'est peut-être pour notre amour Je peux vivre si ...... de la peur, de ma peur Et voici un nouveau jour qui se lève Pour notre amour La fête est bien finie Mais pas la vie Après la fête
Een Roze-Rode Appelboom Composer(s): Fred Weyrich - Hans Blum Performer(s): Truus
Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool
Ik ben verliefd als nooit tevoren Zo blij, omdat een nieuw bestaan voor mij begint Een liefdeslied klinkt in mijn oren Het is alsof de hele wereld om me zingt 'k Droom dag en nacht Al doe ik geen oog meer toe 'k Ben zo verward 'k Weet niet meer wat ik doe, doe, doe, doe Doe, doe, doe, doe Doe, doe, doe, doe, doe
Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom Bom, bom, bom, bom Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool
De grootste schok van heel mijn leven Kreeg ik toen ik je onverwachts voor mij zag staan Mijn rustig hart begon te beven Jouw eerste kus, daar ben ik nu nog duizelig van En sinds die dag Wuift geluk me vrolijk toe Ik zing en lach Bij alles wat ik doe, doe, doe, doe Doe, doe, doe
Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom Bom, bom, bom, bom Een roze-rode appelboom Vol rijpe gouden vruchten Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool
Approximately Infinite Universe Composer(s): Yoko Ono Performer(s): Yoko Ono
In this approximately infinite universe I know a girl whos in constant hell No love or pill could keep her cool cause theres a thousand holes in her heart
And the wind of the past blows through her heart Reminding her of the people she killed Wind of now blows off her cool Telling her theres something shes missed
You know the town of sapporo, she says Where the men talk rough and never sing Two bottles of loneliness Patching the holes in her dream
In this approximately infinite universe I know a girl whos raising constant hell No love or bottle could fix her good cause theres a thousand holes in her head
And the wind of the future blows through her head Saying theres no point of return The wind of the universe blows off her soul Telling her theres nowhere to go
I wanna sleep, wanna sleep, she says And take her fix to bed Two bottles of loneliness Patching the holes in her dream

Approaching Lavender Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure You'll never be the same If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender Then you must be very sure That life is not a game
You might even learn a thing or two approaching lavender You'll soon be on a one night tour Forgetting your own name You won't need a reason just to be alone with lavender
For the light so warm and pure Will draw you like a flame
The colors that surround you there will be the shade of lavender Shadows dancing everywhere Like flowers in the rain You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to lavender With words you never spoke before And will not speak again
Oh sweet lavender I understand you perfectly There is no way that I can see You living by yourself Oh sweet lavender I must be with you constantly Your presence means so much to me Much more that life itself
Oh sweet lavender as fragrant as the name you bear Please cast away the clothes you wear And give your love to me Oh sweet lavender your smile is like the golden sun I'd love to see you laugh and run As naked as the sea
If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender Don't try and get the best of her She will not share the blame If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender Then you must be very sure That life is not a game There is no shame
Devil Eyes
Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley

2007 - Debes Saber (Charles Aznavour)
Devi sapere ancor sorridere Quando il bel tempo se ne va' E resta solo la tristezza E giorni di infelicita' Devi sapere, che in questa angoscia La dignita' devi salvar Malgrado il male che ti senti Devi partir senza tornar Preghi il destino, che ti disarma Per pieta', non mi far morir Devi sapere, celare il pianto Ma il mondo e' nato per soffrir...
Devi sapere, lasciar la tavola Quando all'amor non servi piu' Alzarti con indifferenza Mentre in silenzio soffri tu Devi sapere, celar le pene E mascherare il tuo dolor Tenere l'odio in te nascosto E aver l'inferno in fondo al cuor Devi sapere restar di ghiaccio Pur se il cuor, brucia di rancor Devi sapere, lasciar la vita Ma l'amo troppo ancor E dirle addio non so' Devi sapere...ma non lo so'...
Sous le soleil la terre se fend Pour cet homme et pour son enfant Après le puits qu'il faut creuser Il reste un sillon à tracer... Sans attendre...
Apprendre ... À lire, à écrire, à compter Ouvrir les portes encore fermées Sur ce savoir accumulé Qu'on lui en donne un jour la clé Il a le monde à sa portée...
Lire... Apprendre à lire entre les lignes Découvrir la magie des signes Et les trésors inépuisables Qu'on emporte dans son cartable
Comprendre... C'est comme un mur que l'on traverse C'est la brume qui se disperse Une promesse encore plus belle La connaissance universelle
Compter... Apprendre à compter sur soi-même À compter pour ceux qui vous aiment Pour faire aussi partie du nombre Pouvoir enfin sortir de l'ombre
Comprendre... Combien la vie peut être belle Et se mettre à compter pour elle Faire la somme de sa différence Et se soustraire à l'ignorance
Écrire... Apprendre à écrire son histoire À la plume et au crayon noir En appliquant son écriture Raconter sa propre aventure...
Surprendre... Cueillir ses mots comme des fleurs Semer des graines au long des curs Confier son âme et sa mémoire À celui qui viendra plus tard
Pour cet enfant à son pupitre Tirer la langue sur le titre Écrire son nom sur son cahier C'est plonger vers sa liberté

Romeo Und Julia Composer(s): Hans Bradtke - H. Mayer Performer(s): Peggy March
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End
Wir, wir zwei sind keine Kinder von Hern Shakespeare wir werden alle Sorgen überstehen Komm, komm her zu mir, mein Darling überleg's dir wann wir Verlobungsringe kaufen geh'n
Die Leute in unserer Straße, die reden von dir und mir Wenn wir uns verliebt umarmen vor der Tür Die Leute, sie werden denken, die kriegen sich nie, die zwei Doch ich weiß, das geht im Leben nie vorbei
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia und sind auch nicht zu Hause in Florenz Wir, wir beide machen Romeo und Julia In Puncto Tränen keine Konugrrenz Wir , wir sehen Blumen blühen an allen Wegen Für uns ist diese Welt so wunderschön Wir, wir haben Eltern, die sind nicht dagegen dass wir uns seibenmal die Woche seh'n
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End

Près de chez moi l'autre soir Je me trouvais par hasard Devant le juke-box Devant le juke-box Quand j'entendis tout à coup Une chanson que j'aimais J'aimais beaucoup
Pour l'écouter à nouveau Je cherchais son numéro Devant le juke-box Devant le juke-box Mais sans m'en laisser le temps Une fille voulu me passer Passer devant
Permettez c'est à moi - à moi Pourquoi - pourquoi Parce que - parce que Allons - allons Voyons - voyons Mais non - mais non Mais si Vraiment c'est un peu fort - oui fort Alors - alors Que faire - que faire Misère - misère Tant pis Et puis on s'est souri
Je me suis donc effacé Et je l'ai laissée passer Devant le juke-box Devant le juke-box Sans hésiter un instant Nous avons en même temps Choisi la même chanson Que justement nous aimions Et comme nous étions heureux On a dansé tous les deux Devant le juke-box
Comme on se connaissait mieux On a bavardé un peu Devant le juke-box Devant le juke-box Et l'on voulu tour à tour Se choisir une jolie chanson d'amour
Permettez c'est à moi - à moi Pourquoi - pourquoi Parce que - parce que Allons - allons Voyons - voyons Mais non - mais non Mais si Vraiment c'est un peu fort - oui fort Alors - alors Que faire - que faire Misère - misère Tant pis Et puis on s'est souri
Nous ne pouvions nous quitter Longtemps nous sommes restés Devant le juke-box Devant le juke-box Et comme on s'entendait bien Nous nous sommes dit à demain Et c'est depuis cet instant Que l'on s'est revus souvent Nous nous souviendrons toujours Que l'on s'est connu un jour Devant le juke-box!
