Enfant béni des dieux d'Athènes Au grands yeux sombres des icônes Un roi a fait de vous sa reine Quant au soleil la mer se donne J'entends les trompettes d'Aïda Madame Butterfly je vous aime Chantez moi encore la Tosca Menez moi dans votre Bohème
Ave Maria ave Maria Ave Maria Maria Norma
Comme un oiseau de nuit malade L'Opéra meurt d'amours chimères Comme un bateau loin de sa rade Pour une diva et s'entrouvert Manon Lescaut s'est fiancée Un soir d'hiver belle alseste Et Turandot s'en va danser Une étonnante chanson de gestes
Ave Maria ave Maria Ave Maria Maria Norma
Comme un prière païenne Pour l'unique amour d'une princesse Le monde entier est sur la scène Il vient l'aimer le temps d'une messe Carmen salut une dernière fois Désespérément belle et fauve Et l'écho tragique de sa voix Rejoint les pleurs de la nuit mauve
Don't Leave Me Now

Covered by multiple other artists
Don't leave me now Now that I need you How blue and lonely Id be If you should say we're through
Don't break my heart This heart that loves you They'll just be nothing for me If you should leave me now
What good is dreamin' If I must dream all alone by myself Without you darling My dreams would just gather dust Like a book on a shelf
Come to these arms These arms that need you Don't close your eyes to my plea Oh,don't leave me now don't close your eyes, oh please oh you don't leave me now
Ave Maria Composer(s): Renato Zero - R. Serio Performer(s): Renato Zero
Quanta poesia, buttata via, Ave Maria La crudeltà, l'ingenuità, Ave Maria Noi sempre ad un passo dal cielo Poi davanti agli occhi, quel velo...
Schegge di eroi, venuti dal mai, Ave Maria Fiori appena spuntati, e già recisi, Ave Maria Rei, di questa cieca ignoranza Rei, del vuoto di una presenza Vuoi illuminarci, Maria! Puoi un'altra volta, Puoi...Maria!
Figli taciuti Venduti o dimenticati Orrore, oppure anche tu, hai finito di non vedere alimentando così il silenzio, ch'e' qui
Ave Maria Ave Maria Dove si muore prima di poter capire, Ave Maria Dove la ragione non ha più niente da imparare, Ave Maria Si, siamo meschini e anche vili Ma, non siamo stati mai così soli...soli!
Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria! Stai con la povera gente Stai! Dai colore a chi non ha niente! Niente... Sai, quella coscienza ci sfugge e la paura è già... legge Ave Maria!
Più luce alla speranza è così buia questa via! Ave Maria Un abbraccio ancora... Tu puoi farlo... Maria un'altra volta, Maria!
Dont Laugh At Me

Dont laugh at me cause Im a fool I know its true, yes Im a fool No-one seems to care Id give the world to share my life with someone Who really loves me I see them all falling in love But my lucky star hides up above Someday maybe my star will smile on me Dont laugh at me cause Im a fool

Ave Maria Escuchame, Ave Maria Ave Maria Tu Sabes Que Yo La Quiero Y Es Todo Lo Que Tengo Ave Maria Escuchame, Ave Maria Ave Maria Te Pido Que No Termine Nuestro Amor
Y Recordaras Aquellas Flores Que Adornaban Tu Capilla Eran Mias, Solo Mias Las Robaba Por Las Noches Para Ti Recordaras Cuantas Veces Te He Rezado De Rodillas Mis Amigos Se Reian Al Mirarme Se Reian, Se Reian
Ave Maria Escuchame, Ave Maria Ave Maria Tu Sabes Que Yo La Quiero Y Es Todo Lo Que Tengo Ave Maria Escuchame, Ave Maria Ave Maria Te Pido Que No Termine Nuestro Amor Nuestro Amor Nuestro Amor
Don't Know Much
Composer(s): Barry Mann - Tom Snow - Cynthia Weil
First release by: Barry Mann - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Look at this face I know the years are showing Look at this life I still don't know where it's going I don't much but I know I love you That may be all I need to know
Look at these eyes they never seen what matters Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered I don't much but I know I love you That may be all I need to know
So many questions still left unanswered So much I've never broken through And when I feel you near me sometimes I see so clearly That only truth I'll never know is me and you
Look at this man so blessed with inspiration Look at this soul still searching for salvation I don't much but I know I love you That may be all I need to know
I don't much but I know I love you That may be all I need to know I don't much but I know I love you That may be all there is to know

Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria those who suffer call out to you your arms embrace them all for you have suffered, too like any other the Holy Mother

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria All who doubt you, stray in the night Maria So take them by the hand and lead them to the light

Ave Maria Ave Maria Ceux qui souffrent viennent à toi Toi qui as tant souffert Tu comprends leurs misères Et les partages Marie courage Ave Maria Ave Maria Ceux qui pleurent sont tes enfants Toi qui donnas le tien Pour laver les humains De leurs souillures Marie la pure
Ave Maria Ave Maria Ceux qui doutent sont dans la nuit Maria Éclaire leur chemin Et prends-les par la main Ave Maria
We all want to see thru life's mystery The quest for knowledge is a natural activity But science be careful -- science be kind We can't go on pretending to be blind Those animal experiments don't make sense You're getting nowhere with cruelty and death I say ignorance was some excuse But uh-uh not now -- you see we got the proof A-a-aanimal testing is a dangerious game All systems are different -- we're not the same It's a terrible risk -- so no surprise We get wrong results -- hey what about Thalidomide Abuse yourself of your own free will Get hurt -- get high -- get in distress But don't drag the animals into this mess
No more torture! The animals are free The same with messing around with atomic energy Hey hey doctor - reincarnation Would you like to come back as a laboratory rat? Here we are coiled like a sleeping snake We got to expand out potential Forgod's sake If we want to avoid this endless human riot Why don't we start by changing our diet Life is for living -- the animals agree If they were meant to be eaten They'd be growing on trees So no more torture of our furry friends In the name of food or scientific ends The pressure is on -- be antivivisection!
All our scientists are messing up - they don't succeed Let the psychics tell what the spirits think we need Our super friends from other planets want to give advice But the money orientated business doesn't think that's nice
Come on let's educate the mutated human race By the super power of amazing grace The missing link of human evolution Is sexuality - it needs a spiritual revolution My individual god identity Is what you've gotta meet It's the rhythm of the beat
Don't kill the animals Don't kill the animals The animals are free
Don't Kill It Carol
Composer(s): Mike Heron
First release by: Mike Heron - 1977
This wild rose that I hold in my hand It's the strangest thing I've seen One bud only just started to show And the leaves are the lightest green It's had it's share of the rain It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again But one cruel lie and it could die
(Don't kill it Carol) Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol
This wild rose that I hold in my hand It could grow to be so strong Born one night in the calm of the storm It was made for a rock and roll song It's only just seen the light It could so easily fall back to the gentle night But one cruel lie and it could die
(Don't kill it Carol) Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol
It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time Where there's no need for it to fade There's a secret garden that I think we can find Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade
(Don't kill it Carol)
This wild rose that I hold in my hand It's the strangest thing I've seen One bud only just started to show And the leaves are the lightest green It's had it's share of the rain It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again But one cruel lie and it could die
(Don't kill it Carol) Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow Don't kill it Carol
Eu sei que existe por aí Uma andorinha solta Procurando um verão que se perdeu no tempo Cansou de ser herói do espaço E quer a companhia de outros pássaros É que o seu coração de ave Não agüenta tanta solidão Eu sei que eu ando por aí Sou andorinha solta E nem sei a estação em que estou vivendo Não quero ser herói de nada Só quero a companhia de outros braços É que meu coração de homem Voa alto como um pássaro
Don't Keep Me Wonderin' Composer(s): Gregg Allman Composer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Keri Leigh; Buddy Miles
Oh, tell me 'bout the car I saw parked outside your door tell me what you left me waiting two or three hours for Tell me why when the phone rings baby you're up and across the floor please don't keep me wonderin' no longer I think about the bad times Lord I think about yours and mine you were lost in the silver spoon thought I pulled you out in time And I hope that you got reasons for the way that you've been lyin' please don't keep me wonderin' no longer I think I'm gonna go now but you know that I'll be back Now you can think it over Baby tell me how you're gonna act I'm gonna keep on holding on but I don't get no stronger please don't keep me wonderin' no longer
Don't Just Stand There Composer(s): Lor Crane - Bernice Ross Performer(s): Patty Duke
Please don't just stand there Come and kiss me like before Please don't just stand there Looking down at the floor If something is wrong Give me just one little sign Is there someone else Please tell me Tell me what what what what's on your mind Once when we'd meet You'd run to hold me tight Life was so sweet Until tonight Please don't just stand there Get it over if we're through Please don't just stand there While my heart breaks in two Don't be unfair How can you be so unkind Please stop hurting me And help me Tell me what what what what's on your mind Note:Rhythm changes here If it's a game We don't want to play it And if it's goodbye Why can't you just say it Why make me cry like you do How can you be so unkind Please start loving me Or leave me Tell me what what what what's on your mind
Don't just stand there
(Now Patty singing "Tell me what what what what's on your mind" alternates with the chorus singing "Don't just stand there" over and over as the song fades away)
Avant Nous Composer(s): René Rouzaud - Marguerite Monnot Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Un printemps meurt, en vient un autre Et tout change, et tout est pareil Le bonheur n'est pas le nôtre Pas plus que le soleil Écoute, écoute dans le monde Cet orchestre de curs battants De partout ils se répondent Depuis combien de temps?
Avant nous D'autres amants ont dit: "Je t'aime" Comme nous... Avant nous D'autres ont souffert, ont trahi même Comme... Non! Ne crois pas ça! Ne crois pas ça! L'amour n'est pas cette misère L'amour, c'est toi entre mes bras... Avant nous D'autres ont dansé sur des "Je t'aime" Comme nous... Avant nous D'autres se sont quittés quand même Comme... Non! Pas comme nous... Ne crois pas ça! On a dansé sur toute la terre Et l'on dansera sur ces mots-là
Aimons-nous Comme ceux-là qui tant s'aimèrent Comme nous Et comme ceux qui nous suivront Et comme ceux qui s'aimeront... Après nous...
Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad
Performer(s): Homer & Jethro
Daddy came home from work tired His boss had been driving him mad The kids were all shouting, the dog bit him too His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew
I guess it was then he decided Up to the rooftop he'd go He was about to jump off when The kids started howling below
'Don't jump off the roof, Dad You'll make a hole in the yard Mother's just planted petunias The weeding and seeding was hard
If you must end it all, Dad Won't you please give us a break Just take a walk down the park, Dad And there you can jump in the lake
Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard Il avait déjà vu Germaine Il m'a aimée pendant cinq semaines Je me foutais du tiers comme du quart Et puis un jour, il a compris Il m'a menti encore trois semaines Puis il est allé vers Germaine Ah mes enfants! Qu'est-ce que j'ai pris!... J' lui en veux pas... Que faire à ça? Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins le quart! Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!
Pierre aime la femme de Jean Jean aime la femme de Pierre La femme de Pierre aime un sergent La femme de Jean aime un notaire Qu'est-ce qu'ils espèrent Ces pauvres gens? Si la femme de Pierre avait vu le sergent Avant de rencontrer Pierre... Si la femme de Jean avait vu le notaire Avant de rencontrer Jean... Ce serait une toute autre affaire! 'y aurait du bonheur à Nogent Au lieu qu'on y pleure...
L'heure, c'est l'heure...
Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins l' quart! Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!
Don't It Make You Want To Go Home
Composer(s): Joe South
First release by: Joe South and the Believers - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole And the Georgia sun goes down Well, it's been a long, long time but I'm glad that I'm Goin' back to my home town
Goin' down to the Greyhound station Gonna buy me a one-way fare And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise By tomorrow, ah, I'm gonna be there
Don't it make you want to go home? Don't it make you want to go home? All God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you want to go home?
There's a six-lane highway down by the creek Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow And the strawberries used to grow wild
There's a drag strip down by the riverside Where my grandma's cow used to graze Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow Like it did in my childhood days
(Don't it make you wanna go home?) (Don't it make you wanna go home?) All God's children get weary when they roam (Don't it make you) wanna, wanna go home?
"It's different, it's different, it's different, so different now" "Don't it make you wanna go home?" "But all God's children get weary when they roam, and don't it make you wanna go home?"
"Don't it make you wanna to go home don't it make you wanna go home And now-ah, don't it make you wanna go home, don't it make you wanna go home?" All of God's children get weary when they roam (Don't it make you) "And" (want to go home?) I'm goin' home
