April Lady Composer(s): Brian May - Tim Staffell Performer(s): Queen
She won our hearts The arts she loved Is painting pictures for free When she was done she hung them up For all the children to see Goodbye April lady It's been good to have you around Goodbye April lady You've done a lot for the folks in this town The children learned to read She strung their beads It's sorry she was the one As you can see isn't she good She don't leave nothing undone Goodbye April lady It's been good to have you around Goodbye April lady You've done a lot for the folks in this town She taught them all to love She was their cream And we don't want her to go But we know too well She fell in love And there's no stopping her so Goodbye April lady It's been good to have you around Goodbye April lady You've done a lot for the folks in this town Goodbye April lady...
Diamonds & Rust
Composer(s): Joan Baez
First release by: Joan Baez - 1975
and multiple other artists
Well I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
Dans Wat Dichter Bij Mij Performer(s): De Heikrekels
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
't Eerste wat ik zag, dat was jouw lieve lach Ik voelde mij opeens zo vreemd bewogen M'n hart ging sneller slaan Toen ik je daar zag staan Betoverd door je mooie bruine ogen En bij 't schemerlicht, een schaduw in 't gezicht Vond ik het meisje van m'n dromen Ik vroeg jou om een dans En ik paaide m'n kans Toen ik jou aan je oor zachtjes zei
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
Diamond Girl
Composer(s): James Seals - Dash Crofts
Performer(s): Seals & Crofts; Jim Hendricks
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine Glad I found you, glad you're mine Oh my love, you're like a precious stone part of earth where heaven has rained on Makes no difference where you are Day or nighttime, you're like a shinin' star And how could I shine without you, when it's about you that I am?
Diamond Girl, roamin' wild Such a rare thing, radiant child I could never find, another one like you Part of me is deep down inside you Can't you feel the whole world a-turnin' We are real, and we are a-burnin' Diamond Girl, now that I've found you, it's about you that I am
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine Diamond Girl, you sure do shine Diamond Girl, you sure do shine Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
April In Portugal Composer(s): Raul Ferrão - José Galhardo Performer(s): Les Baxter
I found my April dream in Portugal with you When we discovered romance, like we never knew My head was in the clouds My heart went crazy too And madly I said: "I love you"
Too soon I heard you say "This dream is for a day" That's Porugal and love in April! And when the showers fell Those tears I know so well They told me it was spring fooling me
I found my April dream in Portugal with you When we discovered romance, like I never knew Then morning brought the rain And now my dream is through But still my heart says "I love you"
This sad reality, To know it couldn't be That's Portugal and love in April! The music and the wine convinced me you were mine But it was just the spring fooling me
I found my April dream in Portugal with you When we discovered romance, like I never knew Then morning brought the rain And now my dream is through But still my heart says "I love you"
Il y a des hommes qui meurent d'amour En vous promettant la lune Il y a des hommes qui sont doux mais moi Je les veux fous
Celui qui voudra m'offrir une rivière Il pourra se pendre à mon coup Il faudra qu'il est D'élégant manière et beaucoup de sous C'est tout ce qu'il faut pour me plaire Un petit Diamant tout bleu C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu Et je dirai oui au premier milliardaire Qui voudra bien se ruiner
Vingt carats! Bague au doigt! Noir, bleu, blanc, rouge Des fabuleux joyaux voilà ce qu'il me faut
A ceux qui me disent tu sais combien je t'aime Moi je répond tout simplement Offrez moi d'abord de l'Or et des Diadèmes Et je vous croirais quand je les auraient essayés Un jolie Saphir c'est mieux Que le plus romantique des aveux
Je veux tout à moi les bijoux de la terre Pour me laisser adorée
Celui qui sera m'aimer comme une reine Il pourra se pendre à mon coup Pour me faire la cour ce n'est pas un problème Il lui suffit de me recouvrir de bijoux Un petit Diamant tout bleu C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu Une femme amoureuse ça vaut des Diamants Diamants
Diamants, Diamants Pour me séduire Les Diamants C'est ce qu'il me faut
Is Er Een Ander? Composer(s): John Terra - Jean Kluger - Yan Nick First release by: John Terra - 1973
Weten ze thuis dat we samen zijn Nooit mag ik jou daar komen halen Iedere afspraak is geheim Waarom liefste,wat verzwijg je mij
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij Is er een ander,ben ik nu teveel Ben je niet zeker van je hart Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Jij bent ineens niet dezelfde meer Laat men je thuis niet met mij uitgaan Jij weet hoeveel ik van je hou Maar je twijfelt, daarom vraag ik jou
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel Ben je niet zeker van je hart Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel? Ben je niet zeker van je hart Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Ben je niet zeker van je hart Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Diamond Field
Composer(s): Pat Benatar - Neil Giraldo - Myron Grombacher
Performer(s): Pat Benatar
From the top of the hill You can see all the lights of the diamond field The treasure buried in plain sight Where one mans loss is another mans gain And no one cares about anything, worth caring about
Shall we go to the diamond field tonight Tightrope walkin, in the web of light Shall we go the diamond field and try To seek the fortune in their eyes
One by one the lights go out And the diamond field begins to fade
It turns back into cement and stone Brick and asphalt, flesh and bone
Shall we go to the diamond field tonight Tightrope walkin, in the web of light Shall we go the diamond field and try To seek the fortune in their eyes
Shall we go to the diamond field tonight Tightrope walkin, in the web of light Electric angles move against the night Shining in the diamond field

I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never knew my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees April in Paris, this is a feeling That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never knew my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace Till April in Paris Whom can I run to What have you done to my heart
Diamonds
Composer(s): James Harris The III - Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Herb Alpert
You tell me you love me You tell me you care But when I'm around you It's like I'm not there I need a reminder Something can see Something on my finger Shining so brightly
Don't you know Diamonds are a girls' best friend When you go They stay with me until the end Don't you know Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend When you go They stay with me until the end
Don't want your money Don't want your key Diamonds Love don't come for free Don't want your money Don't want your key Diamonds Love don't come for free
You sent me some roses But roses do die You gave me some candy It melted - nice try I'm not that demanding I have simple taste I just want a token That can't go to waste Diamonds
Don't you know Diamonds are a girls' best friend When you go They stay with me until the end Don't you know Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend When you go They stay with me until the end

Avril à Paris Mansardes fleuries Les Champs-Elysées ont reverdi Qu'il fait bon flâner Rue Saint Honoré Ou à Saint Germain des Prés
J'ignorais tout jusqu'à présent J'ignorais tout du printemps Comment pouvais-je imaginer Ce Paris ensoleillé et

Sur les trottoirs les marronniers Se dressent en chandeliers
Depuis aujourd'hui Avril à Paris Me fait adorer la vie

Respirero' l'odore dei granai e pace per chi ci sara` e per i fornai pioggia saro` e pioggia tu sarai i miei occhi si chiariranno e fioriranno i nevai
Impareremo a camminare per mano insieme a camminare Domenica
Aspettero` che aprano i vinai piu` grande ti sembrero` e tu piu` grande sarai nuove distanze ci riavvicineranno dall'alto di un cielo, Diamante i nostri occhi vedranno
Passare insieme soldati e spose ballare piano in controluce moltiplicare la nostra voce per mano insieme soldati e spose Domenica, Domenica
Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono
ballare piano in controluce moltiplicare la nostra voce passare in pace soldati e spose "Delmo, Delmo vin a 'ca`..."

Avril à Paris, le coeur en sursis, chagrins et soucis s'en vont au vent Avril à Paris, c'est une mélodie dont personne n'est à l'abri
Je n'ai jamais connu d'hiver plus dur que celui de ton départ L'été m'a paru un désert, loin de toi, l'automne est là mais Avril à Paris, chagrin et soucis, le coeur en sursis, seul sous la pluie
Je n'ai jamais connu d'hiver plus dur que celui de ton départ L'été m'a paru un désert, loin de toi, l'automne est là mais Avril à Paris, le coeur en sursis, mais qu'as-tu fait de ma vie?
Diálogos De Rodrigo Y Gimena Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Gimena: Rodrigo, mi amor, no debisteis, venir de nada me vale tu audacia Retira tus pasos, que pierdo mi honor retira tus pasos, por gracia
Rodrigo: Vengo, Señora, porque yo he de morir y antes que muera, dejadme compartir este inmutable amor que nace en mi corazón No aceptaré morir sin que le deis perdón
Gimena: Rodrigo morirás y mi pena vengaré Huye, no vuelvas más pues si quedas yo no olvidaré
Rodrigo: Cuando el olvido entierre este dolor
Gimena: Dónde tu gran valor que a los moros ajustició dónde tu gran valor que a mi buen padre asesinó Temes ahora Dónde enfermó tu honor
Rodrigo: Pues que os resentís de mi antiguo preceder a don Sancho iré con afán de no vencer Y lo respetaré en homenaje a vos a su mano honraré la vuestra que perdió Corro a mi suplicio, Gimena de mi amor
Gimena: Si el honor, a pesar de su pasión lo prefieres a mi amor vete sin querer morir si ya no quieres morir
Rodrigo: Sin ser vencido ni victorioso clamarán: "Amada Gimena Quiso la muerte antes que el odio y el resentimiento de Gimena"
Gimena: Si es que me amas todavía ay, Rodrigo de mi amor sal vencedor de este combate del cual Gimena es galardón
Rodrigo: Clamo a los valientes del mundo luchar contra Don Rodrigo amado por Gimena Gimena
The April Fools Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David First release by: Percy Faith & his Orch. - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
In an April dream Once she came to me When you smiled I looked into your eyes And I knew I'd be loving you and then you touched my hand And I learned April dreams can come true
Oh are we just April fools Who can't see all the danger around us If we're just April fools I don't care, true love has found us now
Little did we know Where the road would lead Here we are a million miles away from the past Travelin' so fast now There's no turning back If our sweet April dream doesn't last
Are we just April fools Who can't see all the danger around us If we're just April fools I don't care, we'll find our way somehow No need to be afraid True love has found us now
Diablero ciego de lunas oteando tu nombre me pongo a cantar mientras me presta la siesta guitarras de arena rojiza y boreal
Desparramando puñales tu viejo alarido, Diablero de Oran le va prendiendo a los montes la verde esperanza de tu caminar
Gimiendo viene el quebracho en pos de tu carro lo siento gritar lo han degollado en el monte le han robado el alma, ya no cantará
Lo han degollado en el monte llévalo en tu carro, Diablero de Oran Tembladeral de pezuñas modelando el sueño del rojo gredal y el grito de la baguala lo hace tigre al hombre del norte infernal
Acorralao por las sombras juntito a tus bueyes, un día te irás Y han de llorar tu partida las verdes pupilas del monte de Orán
Gimiendo viene el quebracho en pos de tu carro lo siento gritar lo han degollado en el monte le han robado el alma, ya no cantará Lo han degollado en el monte llévalo en tu carro, Diablero de Oran
April Fool Composer(s): Berg - Saxon Performer(s): Matt Monro
I'm a fool for April -- yes, I'm an April fool Not for just one day a year, but ev'ry time she's near I'm controlled by April; I'm called the April Fool Love her more than I can say; her ev'ry wish I'll obey
I love her more than a bee could love a flow'r I feel like I'm caught in an April shower I'm content if April will let me stay her fool
She'll be glad that she has found An April fool the whole year 'round I'm a fool for April, yes, I'm an April fool
Diable De Temps Composer(s): P. Seeger - Petersen - Marsalis Performer(s): Dalida
Diable de temps Tu me comptes tes heures Diable de temps sans me faire une fleur Quand je me sens vieillir Tous mes amis sont là Pour te combattre encore une fois
Diable d'effroi Tu tends tes mains glacées Diable d'effroi Des mains pour m'enchaîner Quand je vais m'enfuir Tous mes amis sont là Pour te combattre Encore une autrefois
Diable de mort Tu viens planter tes clous Diable de mort Dans mon cur un peu fou Quand je souffre à mourir Tous mes amis sont là Pour te combattre Encore une autre fois
Ni l'ouragan Du monde et ses canons Ni son argent à mine nous abattrons Debout mes frères Et venez avec moi Vaincre l'enfer Et son diable de roi
Spanish Nights And You ((Italian & Spanish Versions: Notti Di Spagna (by Connie Francis); Noches Españolas Y Tu (by Connie Francis)) Composer(s): Ray Allen - George "Funky" Brown Performer(s): Connie Francis
I remember Spanish nights and you Soft guitars that sang of love so new Though we were just strangers when we met We shared a love no strangers could forget
Soon our different worlds drifted apart But still those Spanish nights live in my heart When you said, "Yo te amo" then I knew I must return to Spanish nights and you
I remember those Spanish nights, mi amor I wish I could hear the music of noches Españoles (?????)
And, darling, although we have drifted apart You're still in my heart When you said, "Yo te amo" then I knew I must return to Spanish nights and you
I remember those Spanish nights, mi amor I wish I could hear
