April Again Composer(s): Glen D. Hardin Performer(s): Dean Martin
(Oh, If I could live April again If only I could live April again) How happy I would be again
Oh, If I could live April again If only I could live April again How happy I would be again
The early morning rain Falling on my window makes me think of you again I pretend that you're here with me And tho' it seems like April again (It's not the same) It's not the same
Oh, if I could live April again If only I could live April again How happy I would be again
Flowers that we saved Pressed between the pages of the book have turned to gray But still I close my eyes and hold them And know that it's not April again (It seems that way) It seems that way
Oh, if I could live April again If only I could live April again How happy I would be again
Oh, if I could live April again If only I could live April again
Devine
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat - Louis Aragon
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Un grand champ de lin bleu parmi les raisins noirs Lorsque vers moi le vent l'incline frémissant Un grand champ de lin bleu qui fait au ciel miroir Et c'est moi qui frémis jusqu'au fond de mon sang
Devine
Un grand champ de lin bleu dans le jour revenu Longtemps y traîne encore une brume des songes Et j'ai peur d'y lever des oiseaux inconnus Dont au loin l'ombre ailée obscurément s'allonge
Devine
Un grand champ de lin bleu de la couleur des larmes Ouvert sur un pays que seul l'amour connaît Où tout a des parfums le pouvoir et le charme Comme si des baisers toujours s'y promenaient
Devine
Un grand champ de lin bleu dont c'est l'étonnement Toujours à decouvrir une eau pure et profonde De son manteau couvrant miraculeusement Est-ce un lac ou la mer les épaules du monde
Devine
Un grand champ de lin bleu qui parle rit et pleure Je m'y plonge et m'y perds dis-moi devines-tu Quelle semaille y fit la joie et la douleur Et pourquoi de l'aimer vous enivre et vous tue
Ich Fang' Für Euch Den Sonnenschein Performer(s): Tony Marshall
Ich fang' für euch den Sonnenschein, holla hi ja ho Denn ihr sollt alle meine Freunde sein, holla hi ja ho
Wir singen frohe Lieder, dazu brauchen wir kein Geld Ich habe außerdem das Glück für euch bestellt Wir reichen uns die Hände und stimmen fröhlich ein Holla hi ja ho
Seht ihr die Blumen am Wege blühen? Seht ihr die Vögel am Himmel ziehen? Die Welt ist schön, so daß das Herz im Leibe lacht Das hat der liebe Gott allein für uns gemacht
Ich fang' für euch den Sonnenschein, holla hi ja ho Denn ihr sollt alle meine Freunde sein, holla hi ja ho
Wir singen frohe Lieder, dazu brauchen wir kein Geld Ich habe außerdem das Glück für euch bestellt Wir reichen uns die Hände und stimmen fröhlich ein Holla hi ja ho
Lalala... Holla hi ja ho
Es ist so einfach sich zu verstehen Gib doch mal nach und ihr werdet sehen Daß nur ein kleines liebes Wort zur rechten Zeit Die Sonnen scheinen läßt, auch wenn es stürmt und schneit
Ich fang' für euch den Sonnenschein, holla hi ja ho Denn ihr sollt alle meine Freunde sein, holla hi ja ho
Wir singen frohe Lieder, dazu brauchen wir kein Geld Ich habe außerdem das Glück für euch bestellt Wir reichen uns die Hände und stimmen fröhlich ein Holla hi ja ho
Devil Woman
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
First release by: Marty Robbins - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists
I told Mary about us, told her about our great sin
Mary just cried and forgave me, Mary took me back again
She said if I wanted my freedom, I could be free evermore
But I don't want to be and I don't want to see Mary cry anymore
Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
Just leave me alone
I want to go home
Mary is waiting and weeping alone in our shack by the sea
Even after I hurt her, Mary' still in love with me
Devil woman, it's over, trapped no more by your charms
I don't want to stay, I want to get away
Women let go of my arms
Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
Just leave me alone
I want to go home
Devil woman, you're evil like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief
You made me so ashamed to face Mary, barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell
Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
Just leave me alone
I want to go home
Coro: apri il cuore
Coro: apri il cuore
No non tenermi sulle spine
dimmi pure se è la fine
Coro: apri il cuore
non c'è niente che non si può chiarire
non c'è niente per forza da salvare
Coro: apri il cuore
sputa fuori il tuo segreto
che se parli è cancellato
Coro: apri il cuore
quel che credi sia una bomba
forse è solo una colomba
Perché l'amore non sia solo una bugia
perché l'amore rimanga solo poesia
perché il dolore diventi nostalgia
e dal dolore rinasca l'allegria
Dimmelo per favore dimmi se
mi vuoi bene come prima
o per te sono un problema ormai
per favore dimmelo se il mio destino è senza te
o se ho vissuto solamente un brutto sogno
un incubo.
Coro: apri il cuore
parla pure non temere
dimmi solo cose vere
Coro: apri il cuore
posso essere un amico
e se muoio non te lo dico
Coro: apri il cuore
basta un poco di coraggio
rimandare sai e peggio
Coro: apri il cuore
stai tranquilla che il mio bene
ormai comunque ti appartiene
Perché l'amore non sia solo una bugia
perché l'amore rimanga solo poesia
perché il dolore diventi nostalgia
e dal dolore rinasca l'allegria
Dimmelo per favore dimmi se
mi vuoi bene come prima
o per te sono un problema ormai
per favore dimmelo se il mio destino è senza te
o se ho vissuto solamente un brutto sogno, un incubo
Coro: Dimmelo per favore dimmi se
mi vuoi bene come prima
o per te sono un problema ormai
per favore dimmelo se il mio destino è senza te
o se ho vissuto solamente un brutto sogno, un incubo
apri il cuore
apri il cuore
apri il cuore

Devil Woman
Composer(s): Kristine Sparkle - Terry Britten
First release by: Cliff Richard - 1976
I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she'd cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines of your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I came there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Stay awake
Look out
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of the neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
Die Stadt war im Schimmer des goldenen Mondes Am Fluss da brannten die Laternen Da sah ich ein Mädchen mit traurigen Augen Sie blickte einsam zu den Sternen Komm, lass deine Tränen, du Schönste der Schönen So sagte ich, du darfst nicht weinen Wenn du heut´ bei mir bleibst Dann wird morgen früh schön Für dich und mich die Sonne scheinen
Es ist nie zu spät, das Glück kommt und geht Schwarze Madonna Jeden Tag, jede Nacht, immer werden wir so Glücklich sein Es ist nie zu spät, dein Kummer vergeht Schwarze Madonna Heut´ schenk´ ich dir mein Herz und dann bist du Nie mehr allein
Die pechschwarzen Haare die wehten im Winde Da nahm ich zärtlich ihre Hände Die Blicke sie sagten viel mehr noch als Worte Die Einsamkeit hat nun ein Ende Wir gingen verliebt durch die nächtlichen Strassen Und Mitternacht war längst vorrüber Wir küssten und wussten, die Stunden voll Liebe Vergehen für uns niemals wieder
Es ist nie zu spät, das Glück kommt und geht Schwarze Madonna Jeden Tag, jede Nacht, immer werden wir so Glücklich sein Es ist nie zu spät, dein Kummer vergeht Schwarze Madonna Heut´ schenk´ ich dir mein Herz und dann bist du Nie mehr allein
Es ist nie zu spät, das Glück kommt und geht Schwarze Madonna Jeden Tag, jede Nacht, immer werden wir so Glücklich sein Es ist nie zu spät, dein Kummer vergeht Schwarze Madonna Heut´ schenk´ ich dir mein Herz und dann bist du Nie mehr allein

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

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
