Het Spijt Me, John Lennon ((Adapted from: Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - 1972)) Composer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono; Robert Long Performer(s): Robert Long - 1994
Het spijt me, John Lennon Maar je hebt je vergist De war is niet over God, als je eens wist
Al is het dan Kerstmis De wereld vecht door We laten een spoor na Een bloederig spoor
Nog steeds sterven kind'ren Van armoe op straat Nog steeds is er honger Nog steeds is er haat
Moord en doodslag - geld en hebzucht Heersen altijd nog Moord en doodslag - macht en misbruik Diefstal en bedrog
De muur is gevallen Tien jaar na je dood Het leek op een wonder De vreugde was groot
De wereld zou 1 zijn Een gloednieuw begin Maar niet zoveel later Stortte alles weer in
Nog steeds sterven kind'ren Van armoe op straat Nog steeds is er honger Nog steeds is er haat
Het spijt me, John Lennon Je zag het foutief Je kijk op de wereld Was veel te naief
Er wordt weer gescholden Er wordt weer gebruld Opnieuw krijgen zwakken En armen de schuld
Nog steeds sterven kind'ren Van armoe op straat Nog steeds is er honger Nog steeds is er haat
Het spijt me, John Lennon Maar je zag het verkeerd We hebben tot nog toe Geen donder geleerd
Moord en doodslag - geld en hebzucht Heersen altijd nog Moord en doodslag - macht en misbruik Diefstal en bedrog...
Qu'Est-Ce Qu'on Attend Pour Être Heureux? Composer(s): André Hornez; Paul Misraki Performer(s): Ray Ventura; and various other artists
Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux? Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour fair' la fête? Y a des violettes Tant qu'on en veut Y a des raisins, des roug's, des blancs, des bleus Les papillons s'en vont par deux Et le mill'-pattes met ses chaussettes Les alouettes S'font des aveux Qu'est-c'qu'on attend Qu'est-c'qu'on attend Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux?
Quand le bonheur passe près de vous Il faut savoir en profiter Quand pour soi, on a tous les atouts On n'a pas le droit d'hésiter Cueillons tout's les roses du chemin Pourquoi tout remettr'à demain Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux?
Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux? Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour fair' la fête? Les maisonnettes Ouvrent les yeux Et la radio chant' un p'tit air radieux Le ciel a mis son complet bleu Et le rosier met sa rosette C'est notre fête Puisqu'on est deux Qu'est-c'qu'on attend? Oh dis! Qu'est-c'qu'on attend ? Oh voui ! Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux?
Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux? Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour perdr' la tête? La route est prête Le ciel est bleu Y a des chansons dans le piano à queue... Il y a d'l'espoir dans tous les yeux Y a des sourir's dans chaqu' fossette L'amour nous guette C'est merveilleux Qu'est-c'qu'on attend Qu'est-c'qu'on attend Qu'est-c'qu'on attend pour être heureux?
Shame The Devil Composer(s): Robin Trower Performer(s): Robin Trower
There's a time, for living And a time for love There's a time, for forgiving, yall And a time to shove Ohh there's more, won then lost More hoping here to spare And it's waiting, waiting Don't ya spend your whole life hesitating Come and tell the truth Shame the devil
There's more, light then dark Honey shining down on you More despair, then what you got And baby you'll need the truth This whole world, has had enough Of people giving up And it's waiting, waiting Don't you spend your whole life hesitating Come on tell the truth Shame the devil
And it's waiting, waiting Don't spend your whole life hesitating Come on tell the truth Shame the devil Don't you know that it's waiting, ah waiting Don't you spend your whole life hesitating Come on, let loose Shame the devil
Question Composer(s): Justin Hayward Performer(s): The Moody Blues; Classic Rock Orch.; The Countdown Singers; Al Fish; Fraternity; The London Symphony Orch.; Sacre
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war? 'Cos when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution That is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you.
I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose
I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old The secrets of our soul
It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way you really mean it When you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war? 'Cos when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution That is burning in its greed
Question D'Équilibre Composer(s): Francis Cabrel; Augier Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Je suis tout seul ce soir J'ai les bras collés au comptoir J'ai les pieds en bas dans la poussière La tête là-haut dans le brouillard Dans tous les couloirs J'ai cru revoir les courbes de ton corps Dans toutes les salles des aérogares Dans toutes les cales des navires du port J'ai besoin de toi pour vivre C'est une question d'équilibre Quand t'es partie ça m'a coupé les ailes Depuis le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle Faut pas m'en vouloir J'suis pas en état de te revoir J'ai laissé toutes les larmes de mon corps Couler dans le ruisseau en bas du trottoir Et tous les autres m'agacent Ceux qui parlent haut, ceux qui parlent fort Je ne vois que toi dans les grandes glaces Entre les bouteilles de "Southern Comfort" J'ai besoin de toi pour vivre C'est une question d'équilibre Quand t'es partie ça m'a coupé les ailes Depuis le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle Encore un verre Après je me couche par terre Je veux dormir en essayant de croire Que c'est encore un de tes retards Mais tous les autres m'agacent Ceux qui parlent haut, ceux qui parlent fort Je ne vois que toi dans les grandes glaces Entre les bouteilles de "Southern Comfort" J'ai besoin de toi pour vivre C'est une question d'équilibre Quand t'es partie ça m'a coupé les ailes Et depuis le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle Le plancher m'appelle

Cantiamo insieme in libertà lasciando andar la voce dove và così per scherzo tra di noi inizia pure, vai sai, la melodia che canterei sarebbe quasi un po' così così, aprendo l'anima così lasciando uscire quello che ognuno ha dentro che per miracolo adesso sembra persino più sincero nel cantare, nel cantare insieme ah ah ah, ah... questione di feeling ah, ah ah ah questione di feeling, solo di feeling così per scherzo fra di noi improvvisando un po' la sera arriva il giorno piano, piano se ne va' ma se canti resta là ah ah ah, ah... questione di feeling ah, ah ah ah, questione di feeling, solo di feeling aprendo l'anima così lasciando uscire quello che questione di feeling lasciando emergere in noi spontaneamente quel che c'e' ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah... ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah... questione di feeling, solo di feeling

One morning I woke up and I knew You were really gone A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along Go your way, I'll go mine and Carry on

Carry on Love is coming Love is coming to us all
Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow? Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow? Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams What you do and what you see Lover can you talk to me?
Girl when I was on my own Chasing you down What was it made you run? Trying your best just to get around. The questions of a thousand dreams What you do and what you see Lover can you talk to me?

Questions Composer(s): Andrew Farriss Performer(s): INXS
How do you know when it's time for you to go How can you stop when you don't know how to start How can you go back when you don't know why you're here How can you see when your eyes begin to fade How will you hear when you've heard it all before How do you do all the things you want to do How much can you take when you've taken all you can How can you act when you've never seen the script How can you choose when you don't know which is right How far can you go if you've been there before How can you shine if you've never seen the sun How does a child become a man without a child How can you heal someone who doesn't want to heal
Shame On The Moon Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Chris Reynolds; Mark Reynolds Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and multiple other artists
Until you've been beside a man You don't know what he wants You don't know if he cries at night You don't know if don't Where nothing comes easy, old nightmares are real Until you've been beside a man You don't know how he feels
But once inside a woman's heart A man must keep his head Heaven opens up the door Where angels fear to tread Some men go crazy, some men go slow Some men go just where they want Some men never go
But, oh, blame it on midnight Ooh, shame on the moon
Everywhere is all around Comfort in the crowd Ooh, shame on the moon Stanger's faces all round Laughing right out loud Hey, watch where you're goin', step light on old toes Until you've been beside a man You don't know who he knows
But, oh, blame it on midnight Ooh, shame on the moon Oh, blame it on midnight

You say you won't be seein' me again you say we're through I wouldn't want to see the sunrise tomorrow if I knew that to be true I know that just sayin' sorry doesn't sound out a lot But the girl you saw me with last night means no more to me Than the thousand stars to the great clouds that cover the night The more I look at her the more I realize how much I love you Shame on me for hurting you...
I'll admit I shouldn't have given into love's wild temptation With someone I cared nothing for I was blind and I hurt you Can you ever forgive the fool the fool who really loves you Last night I was blind but today I see I did you wrong shame on me

So che vorresti lasciarmi ma
Ma dove vai non lo voglio saper perchè Tu prima o poi tornerai da me non c'è nulla Che puoi trovare di più di questo amor T'amo e questo amore è per sempre E mai nessuno potrà, strapparlo dal tuo cuor
E allora ti sentiresti perdato lo so cosi Un solo giorno per te basterà per capire Che il tuo domani non c'è senza di me Era, scritto nell nostro destino E non si puo cancellar Dal mondo un amor
Ma dove vai se la tua strada porta qui accanto a me Ma come puoi cercare ancora un altro amor Tu non sai che ci unisce un filo che non puo spezzar Non puo spezzar, non puo spezzarsi mai
Non c'è nulla che puoi trovare di più Di questo amor T'amo e questo amore è per sempre E mai nessuno potrà Strapparlo dal tuo cuor
Ma dove vai se la tua strada porta qui Accanto a me Ma come puoi cercare ancora un altro amor Tu non sai che ci unisce un filo che non puo spezzar Non puo spezzar, non puo spezzarsi mai

Questo Folle Sentimento Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Performer(s): Formula 3
Che cosa c'è negli occhi tuoi negli occhi miei che cosa c'è. Io lo conosco questo momento la voce del vento cresce dentro di me La musica suona io non la sento la gente balla io non la vedo La luce è rossa la luce è gialla diventi bella sempre di più sempre di più sempre di più sempre di più sempre..
Quando ti ho visto già lo sapevo cosa accadeva io già lo sapevo A cosa serviva cercar di fuggire tanto valeva lasciarsi cadere E adesso son qui pazzo di te desidero te e nient'altro che te La luce è rossa la luce è gialla diventi bella sempre di più sempre di più sempre di più sempre di più sempre..
Ah l'amore questo folle sentimento che ah l'amore più lo fuggo e più ritorna da me e stavolta ha il tuo volto perché io mi sto innamorando di te, di te

Questo Momento
((French Version: L'instant Présent (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Giorgi Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Questo momento è passeggero Inafferrabile, leggero Appena in tempo ad esser qua E in un istante se ne va La corsa dura senza tregua Questo momento si dilegua Questo momento quanto è breve Non può interrompersi e non deve È un'impalpabile entità Che com'è nato morirà Prima di entrare nella storia Questo momento è senzagloria E non può durante il cammino Che comportarsi sempre bene Ha alle spalle il momento che seguirà E che non potrà essere da meno Questo momento non si illude Appena nasce si conclude Il tempo non ammette ma L'altro secondo scoccherà E quello che sta per puntare Questo momento devo andare Queso momento è da fermare Anche se con parole care Pare un ricordo chi lo sa Di quello che sarà Il paradiso o una prigione Questo momento è l'occasione Questo momento non risposa Ha una sua corsa ben precisa Occorre tanta volontà Per afferrarlo o se ne andrà E sta sfuggendoci anche questo Questo momento passa presto Per questo amore differente Raccoglierò tanti momenti Mettine in file più che puoi Per fare che non venga mai Il suo tramonto Questo mommnto ti appartiene Legato ad altri senza fine, senza fine E il momento che spetta a me Un giorno rimarrà appena Questo momento e il mio problema Ma se mi dici che mi ami Questo momento senza età Per noi vivrà
