La Colpa È Tua Composer(s): Marchetti - Ciampi Performer(s): Dalida
E' partito E sprito il mio cuore Quanto tempo E passato da quando Volevamo quelle cose che ora Non hanno più senso
Come vedi Ora sono infelice Quanto tempo E passato da quando Io tenevo a quelle cose che ora Non voglio più avere
Ma la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua Sempre passeggio triste Il pomeriggio è troppo lungo Mai viene sera Ora io sono sola Tornando a casa Non trovo niente Sono smarrita
E' la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua Si la colpa è tua Perchè potevi Restare qui
Ora io sono sola Tornando a casa Non trovo niente Sono smarrita E' la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua, la colpa è tua Si, la colpa è tua Perchè potevi Restare qui
Down From Dover
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover
And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover
He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself cause waiting's almost over
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover
From Dover, from Dover
My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the homeplace
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mama said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her
Mama everything's gonna be alright cause soon he'll be coming down from Dover
I found a place to stay out on a farm taking care of that old lady
She never asked me nothing so I never talked to her about my baby
I sent a message to my mom with a name and address of Miss ol' Grover
And to make sure he got that information when he came down from Dover
I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me
He wouldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long he'll be coming down from Dover
My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm a lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's too still I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
So dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover
From Dover, from Dover, down from Dover, from Dover
Down Forget-Me-Not Lane
Composer(s): Bud Flanagan - Al Nicholls - Morgan Chester
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen
Rainy days dont worry me Theres a rainbow that I can see And its waiting for me Down forget-me-not lane
Fortune never comes that way Ill keep singing a song each day Keeping troubles away From forget-me-not lane
Its just a heaven they made And if youre a stranger there Youll find a table well laid And youre welcome to a chair
Theres no high-brow etiquette Just plain people and once youve met They will never forget Down forget-me-not lane
(Allen) Rainy days dont worry me Theres a rainbow that I can see And its waiting for me Down forget-me-not lane
(Flanagan) Fortune never comes that way Ill keep singing a song each day Keeping troubles away From forget-me-not lane Its just a heaven they made And if youre a stranger there Youll find a table well laid And youre welcome to a chair
(Allen) Theres no high-brow etiquette Just plain people and once youve met
(Both) They will never forget Down forget-me-not lane
La Colombe ((English Version: La Colombe (by Judy Collins) - 1966)) Composer(s): Jacques Brel First release by: Jacques Brel - 1959
Pourquoi cette fanfare Quand les soldats par quatre Attendent les massacres Sur le quai d'une gare Pourquoi ce train ventru Qui ronronne et soupire Avant de nous conduire Jusqu'au malentendu Pourquoi les chants les cris Des foules venues fleurir Ceux qui ont le droit de partir Au nom de leurs conneries
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi l'heure que voilà Où finit notre enfance Où finit notre chance Où notre train s'en va Pourquoi ce lourd convoi Chargé d'hommes en gris Repeints en une nuit Pour partir en soldats Pourquoi ce train de pluie Pourquoi ce train de guerre Pourquoi ce cimetière En marche vers la nuit
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi les monuments Qu'offriront les défaites Les phrases déjà faites Qui suivront l'enterrement Pourquoi l'enfant mort-né Que sera la victoire Pourquoi les jours de gloire Que d'autres auront payés Pourquoi ces coins de terre Que l'on va peindre en gris Puisque c'est au fusil Qu'on éteint la lumière
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi ton cher visage Dégrafé par les larmes Qui me rendait les armes Aux sources du voyage Pourquoi ton corps qui sombre Ton corps qui disparaît Et n'est plus sur le quai Qu'une fleur sur une tombe Pourquoi ces prochains jours Où je devrais penser À ne plus m'habiller Que d'une moitié d'amour
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer

Sur la colline De Blueberry Hill Nos curs sont gravés Sur un rocher
La petite ville De Blueberry Hill Depuis tant d'années A vraiment changé
Des HLM, des buildings S'y sont implantés Des vieux promoteurs Rusés Ont tout fait raser
Le monde hostile De Blueberry Hill Est comme un démon Au cur de béton
Le vieux ciné de la plage L'ancien casino N'entendront plus le Piano De Fats Domino
Sous un parking De Blueberry Hill Nos curs sont gravés Sur un rocher

I tried so hard to not even think about my past life I tried so hard even think about my past life Because I don`t want to ever ever make a mistake in life

La Collina Dei Ciliegi Composer(s): Lucio Battisti Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Audio 2
E se davvero tu vuoi vivere una vita luminosa e più fragrante cancella col coraggio quella supplica dagli occhi troppo spesso la saggezza e' solamente la prudenza più stagnante e quasi sempre dietro la collina è il sole! ma perché tu non ti vuoi azzurra e lucente? ma perché tu non vuoi spaziare con me volando intorno a una tradizione come un colombo intorno a un pallone frenato e con un colpo di becco ben aggiustato forarlo e lui giù, giù, giù... e noi ancora ancor più su planando sopra boschi di braccia tese un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre senza limiti e confini ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini e più in alto, e più in là se chiudi gli occhi un istante ora figli dell'immensità Se segui la mia mente, se segui la mia mente abbandoni facilmente le antiche gelosie ma non ti accorgi che e' solo la paura che infine uccide i sentimenti le anime non hanno sesso nei sogni e no, non temere, tu non sarai preda dei venti ma perché non mi dai la tua mano perché potremmo correre sulla collina e dai ciliegi veder la mattina...è già là! E dando un calcio ad un sasso residuo d'inferno farlo rotolar giù giù giù e poi ancor più su planando sopra boschi di braccia tese un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre senza limiti e confini ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini e più in alto, e più in là ora figli dell'immortalità
La Colina Sobre El Terciopelo Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Aunque venga el invierno y se robe las hojas y la flor siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la coli--i--na de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron, te llevare
Aunque siga la ciudad con sus gritos y sus quejas siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Aunque vendan flores de papel sin perfumes ni color siempre habra un lugar donde descansar y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Nota: La version original se toca con dos guitarras, estos acordes fueron adaptados para acompañar la melodia basica solamente
Down By The Zuiderzee (aka In A Little Dutch Kindergarten)
Composer(s): Herre De Vos - Al Bryan - L. Rosenstock
Performer(s): Barron Blue; Bobby Breen
In a little Dutch kindergarten By the little old Zuiderzee There was started the sweetest romance That anyone could see She was dimpled and round and rosy There was mischief within his eyes But the teacher was never nosey So the teacher never got wise They would share their sweets Each day in the sweetest way That was twenty years ago And they do the same today Now they're married and they're so happy And they're sending their children three To that little Dutch kindergarten Down by the Zuiderzee
La Colina De La Vida Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero, todo prende de mi sueños y se acopla en mi espalda y asi subo, muy tranquilo la colina de la vida Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria, eso es un gran fantasma creado por generaciones pasadas, atascado en el camino de la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Tengo de todo para ver y creer, para odiar o no creer y muchas veces me encuentro solitario, llorando en el umbral de la vida Busco hacer pie en el mundo al reves, busco algun buen amigo para que no me atrape algun dia, temiendo hallarla muerta a la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Composer(s): Bruce Belland - Glen Larson
Performer(s): The Four Preps
Down by the station early in the morning Met a little girl about as cute as she could be I turned on my charms and told her that I loved her I said that she would always be the number one for me She'd always be my number one girl I said there'd be no number two or three
Down in the malt shop shortly thereafter Met another girl about as cute as she could be I looked for number one and when I didn't see her I told number two she was the only girl for me
Went to the drug store and nearly lost my life There I saw my girlfriends, one and two Standing there together, I knew I was in trouble But I'm a clever guy I knew what to do
I went on down by the station early in the morning I was wooing women as cute as they could be But then I saw another girl lookin kinda pretty I said I'm through with one and two I love you number three I said I love you number three And here's what she said to me
Just head on down by the station early in the morning Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea I want a love that's true sir, not a love like you sir You weren't true to one and two You won't be true to me
Down by the station early in the morning See the little puffer-bellies all in a row See the station master pull the little handle Chug, chug, woo, woo, off they go
Cuchilla de palo platillo y loza ollita de barro Si le he comprado a mi cosinera Si le he comprado a mi cosinera Y con mi caja vengo cantando porque ya estamos porque ya estamos
en medio del carnaval Planta de aji, planta y tomate onde estara mi cocinertia hay, tomando mate
Down By The Seaside
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Down by the seaside, see the boats go sailin' Can the people hear, what the little fish are sayin'? Oh, oh, the people turned away, oh, the people turned away Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin' No time left, to pass the time of day The people turned away, the people turned away So far away, so far away See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run Do you still do the twist? Do you find you remember things that well? I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell Out in the country, hear the people singin' Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin' Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away Yes, the people turned away Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain And show your love for Lady Nature, and she will come back again The people turned away The people turned away
La Cloche Composer(s): B. Bower Performer(s): France Gall
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Je tape à tour de bras On se moque des doubles croches Quand mes deux frères jouent avec moi
On met tous les disques à succès Puis on essaie de les imiter Ma cloche donne la cadence Croyez-moi une cloche ça balance
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Oui ça fait du bruit Pour faire danser tous les amis
Toutes les chansons qu'on joue ensemble Ont toutes un air qui se ressemble On n'est pas toujours modestes On est fiers fiers, de notre orchestre
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche Nous, ça nous suffit Pour faire danser tous les amis Pour faire danser tous les amis

Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va, no volverá jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va, no volverá jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Yo te dejo mi canción arrulladora y me llevo tu mirar de gran señora Tu mirada fascinante y misteriosa a través del antifaz color de rosa
Si recoges el rumor de mis querellas temblarán en nuestro idilio las estrellas Mis alondras a tu voz despertarán y mis noches de dolor con tus ojos se iluminarán
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú
Se va la clave azul se va la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú Ya se va la clave azul se va el sol de Marabú

Covered by multiple other artists
Be on my side, I'll be on your side There's no reason for us to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride She could drag me over the rainbow And send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead
You take my hand, I'll take your hand Together we may get away This much madness is too much sorrow It's impossible to make it today She could drag me over the rainbow And send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead
Be on my side, I'll be on your side There's no reason for us to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride
