La Giostra (The-Merry-Go-Round) Composer(s): Ellstein - Manning Performer(s): Dean Martin
(La giostra d'amore La giostra d'amore La giostra (?) So, merry-go-round of love)
When I want your carress And your eyes tell me yes But your lips tell me no Round in circles I go, on love's la giostra
(The merry-go-round)
With my feet off the ground On that merry-go-round I go nowhere, but fast Oh, how long will I last, on love's la giostra ?
When my head's in a spin You give out, you give in And your kisses are sweet Then my heart's at your feet, just as before Being in love is like taking a ride on a giostra La giostra (?) So, merry-go-round of love
(La giostra d'amore La giostra d'amore La giostra (?) So, merry-go-round of love)
When my head's in a spin You give out, you give in And your kisses are sweet When my heart's at your feet, just as before Being in love is like taking a ride on la giostra La giostra (?) So, merry-go-round of love
Ive been driving in my car, its not quite a Jaguar I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil It was made in Fifty-Nine in a factory by the Tyne It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before I drive in it for my job, the Governor calls me a slob But I dont really care, give me some gas and the open air
Its a bit old but its mine, I mend it in my spare time Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil Just last week I changed the oil Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock I dented somebodys fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha
Ive been driving in my car, it dont look much but Ive been far I drive up to Muswell Hill, Ive even been to Selsey Bill I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58 This copper stopped me the other day, youre mistaken what could I say The tyres were a little worn, they were o.k., I could have sworn I like driving in my car, Im satisfied Ive got this far
I like driving in my car, it dont look much but Ive been far I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre I like driving in my car, its not quite a Jaguar I like driving in my car, Im satisfied Ive got this far
La Gente Composer(s): Lucio Milena Performer(s): Javier Solís
La gente, te encuentro solitaria entre la gente perdida entre la burla que es hiriente la gente, la gente que murmura y que no siente lo intenso de mi amor apasionado que es llama de dolor y no pecado pues nace desde el propio corazón
La gente, y tú estás junto a mí frente a la gente luchando ante la ley ardientemente la gente, la gente que te arrastra nuevamente tratando de arrancarte de mi lado no entiende que yo estoy desesperado no quiero perderte otra vez entre la gente
La gente, y tú estás junto a mí frente a la gente luchando ante la ley ardientemente la gente, la gente que te arrastra nuevamente tratando de arrancarte de mi lado no entiende que yo estoy desesperado no quiero perderte otra vez entre la gente

La Génération Perdue Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Les mains tendues, tu réclames ta liberté À ton père qui ne peut pas et ne veux pas comprendre Il voudrait te voir derrière son établi Un marteau en main toute ta vie Samedi soir la sortie est obligatoire Et s'arrête au cinéma
Et dans les froids moments de l'incertitude Il y a au plus profond de ta solitude Derrière les murs de l'incompréhension Un espoir rempli de passion Tu prendras l'avenir comme il te viendra Si tu veux il sera pour toi
Et dans les rues mouillées aux couleurs de l'ennui Et ce chien qui hurle au silence de la nuit Ton cur trop serré à envie d'exploser À la face d'un monde résigné Tes yeux aveuglés par l'enfance trompée S'ouvriront sur la vérité
Ta génération en veux à la terre entière Le long des routes il ne trouve que la misère Mais tes doigts sont en or et sur ta guitare Tu joueras pour sortir du noir Devant les lumières de la célébrité Tu pourras faire briller le nom Que ton père t'as donné Que ton père t'as donné Ouais, que ton père t'as donné
My sweetheart has gone and I am so lonely She said that she and I are through So I started out drinking for past time Driving nails in my coffin over you
Im just driving nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze Im just driving nails in my coffin Lord, drivin those nails over you
Now ever since the day that we parted Well Ive been so lonely and so blue And Im always thinking of you only And I just cant quit drinking that old booze
Im just driving nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze Im just driving nails in my coffin Lord, drivin those nails over you
Now you turned me down you dont want me Theres nothing now I can loose Im just driving those nails in my coffin And worrying my darling over you
Im just driving nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze Im just driving nails in my coffin Lord, drivin those nails over you
Non ho nessuno a parte te che mi ha tradito come sai io mi sento un'auto che non ha non ha più il motore e mi sento un uomo che vivrà nel suo dolore nel dolore solo nel suo dolore ormai Eppur mi sento forte, sai sarà perché non odio mai di certo non dovrei soffrir così così inutilmente solamente perché hai detto un si stupidamente stupidamente con il cervello assente Amica mia quanto costa una bugia un dolore che dividiamo in due tra noi la gelosia quando arriva non va più via col silenzio tu mi rispondi che col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai La gelosia più la scacci e più l'avrai tu eri mia di chi sei più no lo sai complicità ma che gran valore ha sincerità che fortuna chi ce l'ha E' qui il serpente è arrivato è qui seduto in mezzo a noi lui ti mangia il cuore come fosse un pomodoro così diventi pazzo tu o come un toro come un toro purtroppo non ragioni più Amica mia quanto costa una bugia un dolore che dividiamo In due tra noi la gelosia quando arriva non va più via col silenzio tu mi rispondi che col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai La gelosia più la scacci e più l'avrai tu eri mia di chi sei più non lo sai complicità ma che gran valore ha sincerità che fortuna chi ce l'ha
Drivin' Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
It seems like all the world is fighting They're even talking of a war Let all the Russians and the Chinese And the Spanish do their fighting The sun is shining We're going drivin', drivin'
Drop all your work Leave it behind Forget all your problems And get in my car And take a drive with me
The sandwiches are packed The tea is in the flask We've plenty of beer And gooseberry tarts So take a drive with me
We'll take your mother if you want to We'll have a picnic on the grass Forget your nephews And your cousins and your brothers and your sisters They'll never miss us 'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
Thousands of trees Hundreds of fields Millions of birds So why don't you come And take a drive with me
We'll talk to the cows And laugh at the sheep We'll lie in a field And we'll have a sleep So take a drive with me
And all the troubled world around us Seems an eternity away And all the debt collectors Rent collectors All will be behind us But they'll never find us 'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
Passed Barnet Church Up to Potters Bar We won't be home late It's not very far So take a drive with me, take a drive with me Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
La Gaviota Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Corrían los días de fines de guerra y había un soldado regresando intacto intacto del frío mortal de la tierra intacto de flores de horror en su cuarto
Elevó los ojos, respiró profundo la palabra cielo se hizo en su boca y como si no hubiera más en el mundo por el firmamento pasó una gaviota
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
¿A dónde te marchas, canción de la brisa tan rápida, tan detenida disparo en la sien y metralla en la risa gaviota que pasa y se lleva la vida?
Corrían los días de fines de guerra pasó una gaviota volando, volando lento, como un tiempo de amor que se cierra imperio de ala, de cielo y de cuándo
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
Corrían los días de fines de guerra pasó una gaviota volando y el que anduvo intacto rodó por la tierra huérfano, desnudo, herido, sangrando

La Gaviota Composer(s): D.R.A. Performer(s): Raphael
Que Vientos Desmemoriados Vuelas Cruzando Que Cielo Vas Persiguiendo Gaviota Que Vas Llevando Gaviota Sigue Volando Gaviota Que Iras Muriendo Desde Detras De Los Mares La Vida Mueres Volando
Yo Volare Con Tu Vuelo Desde Tus Alas Prestadas Mis Horizontes, Mis Playas Y Mis Arenas Perdidas Gaviota De Mis Mareas Como Mi Sueño Dormida Cuando Volaba A Tu Lado Cuando Era Niño Y Soñaba

La France De Mon Enfance Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - Enrico Macias Performer(s): Enrico Macias
La France de mon enfance N'était pas en territoire de France Perdue au soleil du côté d'Alger C'est elle la France où je suis né
La France de mon enfance Juste avant son rêve d'indépendance Elle était fragile comme la liberté La France celle où je suis né Le soleil n'était pas celui de Marseille Ma province n'était pas ta Provence Je savais déjà que rien n'était pareil Et pourtant mon cur était en France
La France de mon enfance Mon pays ma terre ma préférence Avait une frontière Méditerranée C'est elle la France où je suis né
La France de mon enfance N'avait pas tous ces murs de silence Elle vivait en paix sous les oliviers La France, celle où je suis né
On avait l'accent d'une région lointaine On était perdu comme en Lorraine A l'école on apprenait la différence Mais c'était la même histoire de France
La France de mon enfance Par amour, par désobéissance Son prénom était un nom étranger C'est elle la France où je suis né
La France de mon enfance Moi je pleure encore de son absence Elle était française on l'a oublié La France, celle où je suis né

Versions In Other Languages: 1981 - Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir (by Julio Iglesias) 1982 - Arrangiati, Amore (by Julio Iglesias) 1989 - Stapelgek Op Jou (by Conny Vandenbos & Wim Rijken)
Je revois la ville en fête et en délire Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras... Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Écrasés l'un contre l'autre Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps Et le flot sans effort Nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre Et nous laisse tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux. Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Nos deux mains restent soudées Et parfois soulevés Nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent Et retombent tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux... Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire Me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires Quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras... Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Nous éloigne l'un de l'autre Je lutte et je me débats Mais le son de sa voix S'étouffe dans les rires des autres Et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage Et je pleure... Entraînée par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Je suis emportée au loin Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole L'homme qu'elle m'avait donné Et que je n'ai jamais retrouvé...
