    La Complainte De L'heure De Pointe
    Performer(s): Joe Dassin



    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    Place des fêtes on roule au pas
    Place Clichy on n'roule pas
    La Bastille est assiégée
    Et la République est en danger

    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    L'agent voudrait se mettre au vert
    L'Opéra rêve de grand air
    À Cambronne on a des mots
    Et à Austerlitz c'est Waterloo

    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    Dans Paris à velo on dépasse les autos
    À vélo dans Paris on dépasse les taxis

    La Complainte De La Télé
    Composer(s): Léo Ferré
    Performer(s): Léo Ferré



    On m'appell' la télé, la montreuse à tout-va
    Avant d'fair' le trottoir j'me les caill' sur les toits
    J'suis pas grand-chos' de bien, c'est sûr, mais ce qui m'gêne
    C'est leurs yeux interlopes qui me luxent les antennes...
    J'ai un gars qu'est direct et l'autre qu'on nomm' play-back
    Et tout ça s'pellicule et tout ça s'met en boîte
    Mais les clients sérieux c'est pas qu'ils m'embarrassent
    Et pour pas fair' d'envieux j'me les fais face à face

    On m'appell' la télé, la montreuse électrique
    Et j'suis comme un' morphin' qu'endort la république
    Quand y a des pinailleurs qui m'soulèv'nt des problèmes
    Sur qui ou quoi ou qu'est-ce... j'leur dis: Jugez vous-mêmes
    Un ministre à l'année que l'trottoir indispose
    Entre deux cabinets fréquent' ma télé-close
    Pour les yeux affamés qui vont chercher fortune
    Dans mon lit à colonnes j'peux leur montrer ma Une

    On m'appell' la télé des famill's tout c'qui y a d'mieux
    J'ai des ministres occultes à qui je fais les yeux
    J'suis la télé-partouze, final'ment, faut bien l'dire
    Qu'importe la partouze quand c'est pour le plaisir
    Des fois j'suis l'invisible, j'en ai qui marchent à ça
    T'as pas vu, mon coco, mes soutiens-caméras?
    Quand je suis exciting, y a de drôl's de poulets
    Qui fout'nt un carré blanc sur ce qu'ils vont lorgner

    On m'appell' la télé et j'fais tous les quartiers
    Avec mes patt's en l'air j'ai l'voyeur assuré
    L'Olympe s'est vidé, l'music-hall du bisness
    Alors pour le remplir il tâte mon Palmarès
    Depuis qu'j'ai d'la Lectur' pour tous j'suis un peu snob
    J'bouffe avec Montherlant qui m'amélior' mon job
    Mais comm' le vendredi c'est le jour d'la morue
    Mon mac Panorama me fout au coin des rues

    On m'appell' la télé d'la photo cavaleuse
    Sur mon trottoir là-haut j'me sens tout' transisteuse
    Tout comm' les fill's publiques qu'ont leur jour de sortie
    Moi pour prendre un coup d'air faut qu'j'me tap' le rugby
    Des fois j'suis comm' les grues qui font du sentiment
    J'fais pas payer trop cher et tout l'monde est content
    Des fois j'suis pas causeuse, c'est quand j'ai mes affaires
    Alors je dis: Barka! et j'prends l'frais mon p'tit père ...

    Down Honolulu Way
    Composer(s): J.E. Dempsey - Earl Burtnett - Jos. A. Burke



    I can see two eyes where in the lovelight gleams
    In my dreams, in my dreams
    I can hear a voice, as sweet as singing streams
    Calling me, it seems
    O'er the old lagoon I see the glow worm playing
    Shoreward I can see the shelt'ring palm trees swaying
    While from afar I can hear a guitar
    Someone keeps softly saying

    Dreamy eyes are watching on a south sea isle
    All the while, all the while
    Pretty lips are waiting with a wistful smile
    My heart to be guile
    Softer than the water in the fountain falling
    Sweeter than an angel's evening song enthralling
    Whisp'ring to me of a blue, singing sea
    Nightly a voice is calling

    Come where the moon is always shining
    Down Honolulu way
    Come where the Palm trees sway
    Nighttime is just like day
    And, while the sweet guitars are ringing
    We'll dream the night away
    Where the moonbeams play on the distant bay
    Down Honolulu way

    La Complainte De Gaud
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Louiguy
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Au bout de ses jambes s'il a deux pieds
    C'est qu'il est fait pour bourlinguer
    Pour tenir bon malgré les grains
    Pour s'accrocher, pour aller loin
    Au bout de ses bras s'il y a deux mains
    C'est qu'il en a souvent besoin
    Pour frapper fort, pour frapper bien
    Ou pour lever un verre de vin
    Mais pendant
    Ce temps

    La mer griffe le rivage
    Et sur son visage
    Meurt l'embrun
    ses yeux se brouillent
    Son regard patrouille
    Quand son âme fouille
    Sans remord
    La vague change
    son humeur étrange
    Apporte un mélange
    De pain que tu manges
    Et de mort

    Au bout de son corps perche une tête
    Rusée, têtue, violente, honnête
    Aux idées saines, aux idées nettes
    Pleine de sang froid dans la tempête
    Mais dans tout ça domine un coeur
    Car l'homme entier est qu'un rêveur
    Qui vit seul avec ses amours
    À l'horizon de son retour
    Et pendant
    Ce temps

    La mer griffe le rivage
    Et sur son visage
    Meurt l'embrun
    ses yeux se brouillent
    Son regard patrouille
    Quand son âme fouille
    Sans remord
    La vague change
    son humeur étrange
    Apporte un mélange
    De pain que tu manges
    Et de mort

    Lord I swear the perfume you wear
    Was made out of turnip greens
    And everytime I kiss you girl
    It tastes like pork and beans
    Even though you're wearin' them
    Citified high heels
    I can tell by your giant step
    You been walkin' through the cotton fields
    Oh, you're so down home girl

    Everytime you monkey child
    You take my breath away
    And everytime you move like that
    I gotta get down and pray
    Don't you know that dress of yours
    Was made out of fiberglass
    And everytime you move like that
    I gotta go to Sunday mass
    Oh, you're so down home girl

    Oh, you're so down home girl

    I'm gonna take you to the muddy river
    And push you in
    Just to watch the water roll on
    Down your velvet skin
    I'm gonna take you back to New Orleans
    Down in Dixieland
    I'm gonna watch you do the second line
    With an umbrella in your hand
    Oh, you're so down home girl

    I'm with ya baby
    You're so down home
    Ow! Yeah, too much
    Outta sight
    You're so down home girl

    Covered by multiple other artists



    Mi sono alzato, mi son vestito
    e sono uscito solo per strada
    ho camminato a lungo senza meta
    finchè ho sentito cantare in un bar

    canzoni e fumo ed allegria
    e ti ringrazio sconosciuta compagnia
    non so nemmeno chi è stato a darmi un fiore
    ma so che sento cantare il mio cuor ...

    Felicità
    ti ho persa ieri ed oggi ti ritrovo già
    Tristezza va
    una canzone il tuo posto
    prenderà ...

    Abbiam mangiato, e poi bevuto
    è mai possibile che ti abbia già scordato?
    eppure ieri morivo di dolore
    ma oggi sento più caldo il mio cuor
    ma oggi sento più caldo il mio cuor ...

    Well, the show's all over
    I'll just pack my guitar
    Well, what am I doing here, girl?
    Get up--c'mon make for your car
    Head on back to where the air is clear
    There's a young girl there
    Who's part of my life
    She says I'm her only
    I call her my wife
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    Well, let me sit down slowly
    Put my feet up somewhere
    I let it all out of my head
    Well a day-dreamin' guitar-pickin'
    Nothin'-doin' pint of milk
    Wakes up with the horrors
    Of a hotel bed
    But it's alright, there's a hand on my cheek
    And it belongs to the girl
    That makes my will power weak
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    Oh, get on home
    Well, there's a young girl there
    Who's part of my life
    She says I'm her only
    But I call her my wife
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    Ooh, ooh
    Get on home, yeah
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    I don't want your money
    But I just want your lovin'
    Well, I'm so glad to be back home again
    I don't want your money
    But I just want your lovin'
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    I don't want your money
    But I just want your lovin'
    I'm so glad to be back home again
    I don't want your money

    La Commune
    Composer(s): Georges Coulonges - Jean Ferrat
    Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme un espoir mis en chantier
    Ils se levèrent pour la Commune
    En écoutant chanter Potier
    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme une étoile au firmament
    Ils faisaient vivre la Commune
    En écoutant chanter Clément

    C'étaient des ferronniers
    Aux enseignes fragiles
    C'étaient des menuisiers
    Aux cent coups de rabots
    Pour défendre Paris
    Ils se firent mobiles
    C'étaient des forgerons
    Devenus des meublots

    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme artisans et ouvriers
    Ils se battaient pour la Commune
    En écoutant chanter Potier
    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme ouvriers et artisans
    Ils se battaient pour la Commune
    En écoutant chanter Clément

    Devenus des soldats
    Aux consciences civiles
    C'étaient des fédérés
    Qui plantaient un drapeau
    Disputant l'avenir
    Aux pavés de la ville
    C'étaient des forgerons
    Devenus des héros

    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme un espoir mis au charnier
    Ils voyaient mourir la Commune
    Ah! Laissez-moi chanter Potier
    Il y a cent ans commun commune
    Comme une étoile au firmament
    Ils s'éteignaient pour la Commune
    Écoute bien chanter Clément

    Down here in the ground
    It ain't no place for living
    No, no, no
    Down here on the ground
    Watching the sparrows fly high
    I watch the birds
    As they make their wings
    Flying solid free
    How I wish it were me
    But I'm down here on the ground
    And I'm wanting something better
    I'm down here on the ground
    Wanting something more

    One morning soon
    I will find
    Some wings on my mind
    To take me high
    So if you hear a sound
    From down here on the ground
    My friends
    It's only me
    Trying to fly
    Trying to fly
    I would love to fly
    Because I'm tired of being
    Down here on the ground
    I'm tired of being
    Down here on the ground

    One morning soon
    I will find
    Some wings on my mind
    To take me high
    So if you hear a sound
    From down here on the ground
    My friends
    It's only me
    Trying to fly
    Trying to fly
    I would love to fly
    Because I'm tired of being
    Down here on the ground
    I'm tired of being

    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

    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

    La Colombe
    ((Adapted from: La Colombe (by Jacques Brel) - 1959))
    Composer(s): Jacques Brel
    Performer(s): Judy Collins - 1966



    Why all these bugles cry
    These squads of young men drilled
    To kill and to be killed
    Stood waiting by the train

    Why the orders loud and hoarse
    Why the engine's groaning cough
    As it strains to drag us all
    Into the holocaust

    Why crowds who sing and cry
    And shout and fling us flowers
    And trade their rights for ours
    To murder and to die

    The dove has torn her wings
    So no more songs of love
    We are not here to sing
    We're here to kill the dove

    Why must this moment come
    When childhood has to die
    When hope shrinks to a sigh
    And speech into a drum

    Why are they pale and still
    Young boys trained over night
    Concripts payed to kill
    And dressed in gray to fight

    These rainclouds massing tight
    This train load battle bound
    This moving burial ground
    Goes thundering to the night

    The dove has torn her wings
    So no more songs of love
    We are not here to sing
    We're here to kill the dove

    Why statues towering grave
    Above the last defeat
    Old words and lies repeat
    Across a new made grave

    And why the same still birds
    That victory always brought
    These hours of glory bought
    By men with mounds of earth

    Dead ash without a spark
    Where cities used to be
    Where guns probe every spark
    And crush it into dust

    The dove has torn her wings
    So no more songs of love
    We are not here to sing
    We're here to kill the dove

    And while your face undone
    With jagged lines of tears
    That gave in those first years
    All the peace I'd ever want

    Your body in the gloom
    The platform fading back
    Your shadow on the track
    A flower upon a tomb

    And why these days ahead
    When I must let you cry
    And live prepared to die
    And to....

    The dove has torn her wings
    So no more songs of love
    We are not here to sing
    We're here to kill the dove

    Down Forget-Me-Not Lane Composer(s): Bud Flanagan - Al Nicholls - Morgan Chester Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen



    Rainy days don’t worry me
    There’s a rainbow that I can see
    And it’s waiting for me
    Down forget-me-not lane

    Fortune never comes that way
    I’ll keep singing a song each day
    Keeping troubles away
    From forget-me-not lane

    It’s just a heaven they made
    And if you’re a stranger there
    You’ll find a table well laid
    And you’re welcome to a chair

    There’s no high-brow etiquette
    Just plain people and once you’ve met
    They will never forget
    Down forget-me-not lane

    (Allen)

    ((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 cœurs 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 cœur 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 cœurs sont gravés
    Sur un rocher

    Sous un parking
    De Blueberry Hill

    Listen downchild, please take a fool`s advice
    Listen downchild, please take a fool`s advice
    Don`t newer let no one woman, Man misuse you twice

    Every time she smiles, says she don`t love no one but you
    Everytime she smiles, says she don`t love no one but you
    You better watch out buddy boy, little girl love to drop a chunk on you

    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

    Baby, I and you could be so happy, we can be so lovin` tonight
    From now on darling, we can be so happy be so loving from now on
    Because if I ever make a mistake in life, I know I`d ruin my happy home

    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
