Plenty Of Time Composer(s): John kander - Fred Ebb Performer(s): Liza Minnelli
Dear Aunt Alice, why should I marry him? My heart's young, I keep free! O, Aunt Alice, there's always time enough Then she smiles, and took my hand And she said to me
When I was just a young thing, I can recall I dreamt of seeing Paris in Fall And London in the Springtime, oh I'd see it all I'd see it all some day!
For I had plenty of time, plenty of time Why should I worry? Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time What was the hurry?
When I was still a young thing Oh, love was for fun Kisses and laughter Then it was done! Yes, when the game was over Swiftly I'd run Oh, how I'd run away!
For I had plenty of time, plenty of time Why should I worry? Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time What was the hurry?
But a world that's right can soon go wrong And I guess I waited much too long! For I've never been to Paris or to London im the Spring And that love I intended to choose The years just refused to bring!
And now it suddenly seems That I've run out of dreams I can hold on to! Once I had plenty of time, oh plenty of time Where has it gone to?
Dear Aunt Alice, I think I'll marry him All too soon it's all too late! Yes Aunt Alice, there's never time enough Let me hold my love today And let tomorrow wait!
Baby Blue
Composer(s): Pete Hamm
First release by: Badfinger - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget
Or I'd regret
The special love I have for you
My baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show
The special love I have for you
My baby blue
What can I do, what can I say?
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me a way
Don't you know, I've tried and I've tried?
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger
Every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know
Let it grow
The special love you have for me
My Dixie dear
Lazy Afternoon Composer(s): John Latouche - Jerome Moross First performance: Kaye Ballard & Jonathan Lucas - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
It's a lazy afternoon And the beetle bugs are zoomin' And the tulip trees are bloomin' And there's not another human in view But us two
It's a lazy afternoon And the farmer leaves his reapin' In the meadow cows are sleepin' And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream As we dream
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill Unfoldin' like a rose If you hold my hand and sit real still You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon And I know a place that's quiet, 'cept for daisies running riot And there's no one passing by it to see Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

La Musique Est De Retour Composer(s): Marcel Amont - Michel Jourdan - G. Gustin Performer(s): Marcel Amont
La musique est de retour Quand tu es là et mes deux bras autour La musique est de retour La mélodie la maladie d'amour Tu vas tu viens tu chantes Tu ris tu sors tu rentres Tu mets la vie dans la maison Tu mets la folie tendre Tu mets partout tes cendres Et du désordre à ma raison Toute est simple comme bonjour Et la musique est de retour
La musique est de retour Quand tu es là et mes deux bras autour La musique est de retour Te re-voilà, baisse un peu l'abat-jour Y a la radio qui hurle Y a le café qui brûle Et du rimmel sur l'oreiller Par-ci par-là des robes La baignoire qui déborde Plein de fou-rire et de bouquets Tout est simple comme bonjour Et la musique est de retour
Música Me Ayuda Composer(s): Fabián Gallardo Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Un domingo en una esquina un tambor que desafina y unas luces que despiertan la ciudad Hay un bar, un diario, un loco una almohada en cada ojo pero hay algo que me ayuda a despertar
Es la musica que corre en nuestras venas es un ritmo que contagia y es mejor porque así no estamos solos hoy la calle nos alcanza en un grito que es la música de hoy
Hay un ritmo en cada calle en el sol de la mañana en un rio en la oficina o en un bar no perdamos más el tiempo no dejemos el momento ya es de noche y se despierta la ciudad
Es un piano que nos llega desde el norte un tambór que nos inunda desde el mar las palabras nacen solas y la música me ayuda para que hoy esté cantando para que estemos cantando y se escuche para siempre nuestra voz
Você precisa saber da piscina Da margarina, da Carolina, da gasolina Você precisa saber de mim Baby, baby, eu sei que é assim Baby, baby, eu sei que é assim
Você precisa tomar um sorvete Na lanchonete, andar com a gente, me ver de perto Ouvir aquela canção do Roberto Baby, baby, há quanto tempo Baby, baby, há quanto tempo
Você precisa aprender inglês Precisa aprender o que eu sei E o que eu não sei mais, e o que eu não sei mais Não sei, comigo vai tudo azul Contigo vai tudo em paz Vivemos na melhor cidade da América do Sul, da América do Sul Você precisa, você precisa Não sei, leia na minha camisa
La Música Del Rio De La Plata Composer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto - Fito Páez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Te siento, no te escucho, donde estas te escondes en los puertos del sur en cada luna, en cada esquina en cada madrugada en conventillos rascacielos en alguna cancha sos el grito que no existe pero esta latente hilando su oportunidad
Hay gente a la que el charco le hace mal se clavan los puñales por querer tener el ultimo traje europeo por querer vivir lo de ellos hace un mes vivieron gente que vive de espalda a lo que es su tierra sus ciudad y su sentir
Candombe en Montevideo milonga en Buenos Aires los años te van cambiando fuelle y tambor la música del Rio de la Plata
Cantemos en la vereda que el canto también es fuerza gastemos nuestras gargantas para brindar borrachos de alegria y esperanza
Cantemos hoy que es hora de cantar no vaya a ser que luego nos estalle el pecho de tanto sentir el ca nos asusten las tijeras que andan merod hoy es tiempo de canto y de mirarnos para adentro una vez más
Tenemos una gran necesidad gritar lo que nos quema cada nota tiene alma, cada alma un cuerpo ese cuerpo que despierta todas las mañanas con ganas de recargardas plenas de caminos ilusión y sensatez
Babs And Babs
Composer(s): Daryl Hall
Performer(s): Daryl Hall
Babs and babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed Arm in arm, head to head, babs and babs Babs said, "whatcha thinking?" She said, "nothing But I never do cause I leave it up to you" Babs looked out the window Saw the moon and the sky She saw the clouds drifting by Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing
"look out on the lawn, theres a moon out tonight Theres a moon out tonight, cantcha see?" "silver dreams dont move me or your talk of the stars And this isnt the time or place to make a fool of me No one wants to hear you when youre slipping away And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision" But she said nothing
So babs said "dont you worry, Ill take good care of you Youre lack of feelings a rotten thing But Ill show you what to do Girl, youve got to get away Girl, youve got to feel, oh, yeah" Babs said "dont you patronize me, Im fine the way I am At least I know whats happening And I know just where I stand You live alone you die alone When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah"
Never compromising, never see eye to eye So they turn, with a sigh, babs and babs Have to be together like the night and the day So they might as well stay the best of friends Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky With the clouds drifting by Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing She said nothing
La Mujer Más Bella Del Mundo Composer(s): Pablo Pinilla Performer(s): Raphael
Tan difícil como distinguir Un gato negro en la oscuridad Tan amargo como confesar El secreto de una infidelidad Tan humano como desear El regalo de un golpe de azar Tan peligroso como caminar Por la cornisa de mi propia vanidad Luchando contra el roce de tu piel Tratando de no enamorarme De la mujer más bella del mundo De la pasión que encierra mi orgullo Del corazón que late en mi corazón De la ansiedad que esconde mi soledad Con el alma rota en un bolsillo Y la sonrisa de un hombre vacío Desesperado como un animal Amenazado en su libertad Ya es inútil rabiar contra uno mismo Ni engañarse con mil copas de vino Cuando el amor que nunca juega limpio Te derriba como una enfermedad Luchando contra el roce de tu piel Tratando de no enamorarme De la mujer más bella del mundo De la pasión que encierra mi orgullo Del corazón que late en mi corazón De la ansiedad que esconde... El miedo a ver contigo amanecer El juego donde se prueba el querer El cruce del que un beso es una red Todo el tiempo malgastado Desde que me enamoré De la mujer más bella del mundo De la pasión que encierra mi orgullo Del corazón que late en mi corazón De la ansiedad que esconde...
Babooshka
Composer(s): Kate Bush
First release by: Kate Bush - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym, to fool him
She couldn't have made a worse move
She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter
"All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"
She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out, "I'm
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"
La Mort Douce Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Je me souviens j'étais Le souffle du vent le matin Et le sable et la terre et leur parfum Et le bruit du soleil qui connaît son chemin Et j'étais bien
Je me souviens j'étais Dans une autre vie j'étais Un peu de ce monde qui m'entoure Que j'aime comme une fille aime sa mère d'amour Et j'étais bien
J'étais J'étais J'étais J'étais Et j'étais bien
Je me souviens j'étais L'arbre qui s'ouvre au printemps La reine des abeilles qui attend Que lui reviennent les fleuves et leur miel transparent Et j'étais bien
Je me souviens j'étais Un autre maillon de la chaîne Un autre regard mais c'est le même Une autre façon de savoir dire je t'aime Et j'étais bien
J'étais J'étais J'étais J'étais Et j'étais bien
J'étais J'étais J'étais J'étais Et j'étais bien
J'étais J'étais J'étais J'étais Et j'y retourne demain

Lamas Fayre Composer(s): Chris Difford Performer(s): Chris Difford
We caught the ferry from Stranraer to Larne over the great waves out under the stars to sleep in a cabin and look for the shore at six in the morning when I was a boy mother would lead me and take me in her hand combing my parting while back on dry land we caught the showers that fell on the beech sunshine we dreamt of was so out of reach on Irish mountains the coaches would climb we¹d write out postcards as the drivers unwind and mother was drinking with her friends at the bar and I¹d run them around but I wouldn¹t go far
We caught the Ocean that flew on the wind we sat together and we let the day in she prayed in her silence for all who she knew this beautiful landscape was all for my view and mother would take me to see Lamas Fair gypsies would see me and they¹d play with my hair I heard my fortune told so simply there
The rain was falling on the heather and gorse I had my ice cream with the chocolate sauce father was frowning a bag on his back the happier he got the more that he drank fiddles were playing in the opposite bar I had my crisps and lemonade in the car down to the causeway where giants once roamed id chase the crabs just before they got stoned my father my mother my brothers and me so young and simple in my memory

La Mort D'Hamlet Et Le Rideau Tombe Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Je l'aimais, je l'aimais, je l'aimais
Quelques vérités Un peu de passion Un fil de l'épée Un peu de poison Et le rideau tombe C'est la fin du monde Un peu de colère Un peu de souffrance Un peu de prière Si peu d'importance Et le rideau tombe C'est la fin du monde
