Maybe I'll Come Back Composer(s): Charles L. Cooke; Howard C. Jeffrey Performer(s): Judy Garland; Marlene Dietrich
I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees I will come back when the birds make love to the bees I will come back when the sun refuses to shine And President Coolidge is a cousin of mine
I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet And promenade up and down on Washington Street When the snow has turned from white to blue Then maybe I will come back to you
Whistler's mother is a sister of mine
When the snow has turned from white to blue Then maybe I will come back to you Yes, maybe I'll come back Could be I'll be back Maybe I'll come back to you
Omdat Ik Van Je Hou Italian Title: L'Amore E Un Attimo Composer(s): M. Ramieri Performer(s): Louis Neefs
Dag, m'n lieve lieve meisje 't Is alweer lang geleden Maar hoe is het nou
Ja echt, echt dat wil ik weten Ik kan je niet vergeten Hoe is het nou
Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg Je stem alleen is niet genoeg Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Waarom zeg jij nu niets Denk niet dat het nu zomaar over is Daarom bel ik je op Alleen omdat ik jou zo vreselijk mis
Als alles anders was, m'n lieve meisje Dan zou ik nu bij jou kunnen zijn Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Dat, m'n lieve lieve meisje En laat de rest maar zitten Is wat ik zeggen wou
Wat jij en ik ook mogen vinden We komen toch nooit verder Dan hoe is het nou
Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg Je stem alleen is niet genoeg Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Maybe I Know Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Ellie Greenwich
Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue But what can I do
I hear them whispering when I walk by He's gonna break her heart and make her cry I know it's me they're talking about I bet they all think I'll never find out
Ohhh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue but what can I do
My friends are telling me that he's no good He isn't treating me the way he should He really loves me that's all I can say Before my tears fall I just walk away
Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue But what can I do Ohhhh
Deep down inside he loves me Though he may run around Deep down inside he loves me Some day he'll settle down
Ohhh Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue But what can I do
He really loves me that's all I can say Before my tears fall I just walk away
Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue But what can I do
Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin' Maybe I know that he's been untrue But what can I do

Om Tarar Vore Guld English Title: If Tears Were Gold Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Fåglarna sjunger, blommor slår ut Allt är sig likt som det varit förut Men du är ej här, fast jag minns dig ännu Kan inte glömma, jag var ju din fru
Vad man kan sakna någon ändå! Stunder av lycka tänker jag på Hur kan en saga så vacker som vår Plötsligt ta slut efter så många år?
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Jag kan aldrig glömma dig Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld Jag blir aldrig kär igen Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Nu är jag bara en vän
Finns det nån mening med allt som var? Frågan jag ställer får inget svar Varför var ödet så hårt mot oss två? Allt blev förändrat när jag såg dig gå
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Jag kan aldrig glömma dig Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld Jag blir aldrig kär igen Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Nu är jag bara en vän
Om Jag Skriver En Sang Composer(s): Eva Dahlgren Performer(s): Eva Dahlgren
Vad ska jag skriva nu När alla ord tagit slut Å vad ska vi prata om När allt är utnött och fult
Det känns som om alla Väntar sig Att jag ska hitta på nya ord Som inte finns på vår jord
Men om jag skriver en sång Full av kärlek och hat En sång som säger att det här är jag En sång utan massor av ord En sång som man kan sjunga Gång på gång Och tåren på min kind Torkar snabbt i dess vind Om natten är lång Så vad gör väl de' Så länge du är med
Det känns som om alla gamla sånger Aldrig nått sitt mål Som om alla dessa nya människor Aldrig upplevt en vår Så snart de talar till mej Känns allt så dumt och fel Jag vill få er att se
Men om jag skriver en sång Full av kärlek och hat En sång som säger att det här är jag En sång utan massor av ord En sång som man kan sjunga Gång på gång Och tåren på min kind Torkar snabbt i dess vind Om natten är lång Så vad gör väl de' Så länge du är med
Olivia despertó por la mañana como suele hacer la gente más o menos con el sol
Era un sábado más en su ventana era otra invitación para la suerte era otra semejanza del amor con que trenzaba hijas y calor con la soledad era la soledad salía el sol
Olivia en su península poblada por la lentitud del día por el tiempo sin hacer
Sobre su condición iba parada como una diosa de la luna fría que las estrellas quiere conocer y da una piedra errante de comer con su soledad era la soledad y vio llover
Olivia no sabía que la noche tiende puentes de aguacero para llegar a su umbral
Olivia no sabía que hay un coche y un precipicio al borde del cochero y oyó decir que un astro guía en el mar y salió de su isla a caminar con su soledad era la soledad y oyó cantar
Oliver's Army Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello; and various other artists
Don't start that talking I could talk all night my mind was sleep walking While I was putting the world to rights Call careers information Have you got yourself an occupation Olivers Army is here to stay Olivers army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today There was a checkpoint charlie He didn't crack a smile But it's no laughing party When you've been on the murder mile All it takes is one itchy trigger One more widow one less white nigger Olivers Army is here to stay Olivers army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today Hong Kong is up for grabs London is full of Arabs We could be in Palestine Overrun by a Chinese line With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne But there's no danger It's a professional career Though it could be arranged With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear If you're out of luck or out of work We could send you to Johannesburg Olivers Army is here to stay Olivers army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today
Maya Love Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison
Maya Love - Maya Love Maya Love is like the sea Flowing in and out of me Maya Love - Maya Love Maya Love is like the day First it comes, then it rolls away Maya Love - Maya Love Maya Love is like the wind Blowing hard on everything Maya Love - Maya Love Maya Love is like the rain Beating on your window brain Maya Love - Maya Love Maya Love is like the stream Flowing through this cosmic dream
Oliver Twist Composer(s): Rod McKuen Performer(s): Rod McKuen
O...L...I...V...E...R...Oliver, twist, yeah
You ought to see Oliver, go go Oliver You ought to see Oliver twist
He can't mow the grass Falls asleep in grammar class But he's a sight on Saturday night You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver You oughta see Oliver twist
He can't drive like Jim Every tree bumps into him But on the floor he makes 'em roar You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver You oughta see Oliver twist
He can't write a letter 'Cause he can't spell The girls, they wanna wear his sweater To catch the eye of that a-fabulous guy
He can't sing on pitch But he's a panic with his twitch He raises dickens with them chickens You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver You oughta see Oliver twist
(Instrumental Break)
He can't write a letter The cat can't spell The girls, they wanna wear his sweater To catch the eye of that fabulous guy
He can't sing on pitch But he's a panic with his twitch He raises dickens with them chickens You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver You oughta see Oliver twist
Yes, yes, yes You ought to see Oliver twist Oh, oh, oh, oh You ought to see Oliver twist
Maya Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
The dust of the rivers does murmur and weep Hard and sharp laughter that cuts to the bone Ah, but ever face within your face does show Going gladly now to give himself his own
And twelve yellow willows shall fellow the shallows Small waves and thunder be my pillow Upon the gleaming water two swans that swim And every place shall be my native home
The east gate like a fortress dissolve it away The west gate like a prison O come break it down Island I remember living here Wandering beneath the empty skies
In time her hair grew long and swept the ground And seven blackbirds carried it out behind It bore the holy imprint of her mind As green-foot slow she moved among the seasons
The great man, the great man, historians his memory Artists his senses, thinkers his brain Labourers his growth Explorers his limbs And soldiers his death each second And mystics his rebirth each second Businessmen his nervous system No-hustle men his stomach Astrologers his balance Lovers his loins His skin it is all patchy But soon will reach one glowing hue God is his soul Infinity his goal The mystery his source And civilisation he leaves behind Opinions are his fingernails
Maya Maya All this world is but a play Be thou the joyful player
The wanderer no sense does make His eyes being tied in the true love's knot The trees perceive his soul Do not detain him long
Dear little animal dark-eyed and small Caring for your fur with pointed paws This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry A small sweetmeat to the eyes of night
O dandelion be thou thine Reflecting the sun in sexual glory In every-changing tongues The every-changing story
The book, man, bird, woman, serpent, sea, sun Blessed O blessed are they of the air Your eyes are the eyes Of the glad land Ye twelve that will enter the seasons
The great ship, the ship of the world Long time sailing Mariners, mariners, gather your skills
Jesus and Hitler and Richard the Lion Heart Three kings and Moses and Queen Cleopatra The Cobbler, the maiden The mender and the maker The sickener and the twitcher And the glad undertaker The shepherd of willows The harper and the archer All sat down in one boat together Troubled voyage in calm weather
Olhos Nos Olhos Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Quando você me deixou, meu bem Me disse pra ser feliz e passar bem Quis morrer de ciúme, quase enlouqueci Mas depois, como era de costume, obedeci
Quando você me quiser rever Já vai me encontrar refeita, pode crer Olhos no olhos, quero ver o que você faz Ao sentir que sem você passo bem demais
E que venho até remoçando Me pego cantando Sem mais nem porquê E tantas águas rolaram Quantos homens me amaram Bem mais e melhor que você
Quando talvez precisar de mim 'Ce sabe a casa é sempre sua, venha sim Olhos nos olhos, quero ver o que você diz Quero ver como suporta me ver tão feliz
May You Never Be Alone Composer(s): Hank Williams Originally performed by: Hank Williams Covered by various other artists
Like a bird that's lost in maiden flight I'm alone and oh so blue tonight Like a piece of driftwood on the sea May you never be alone like me
I believed the lies you told to me When you whispered dear, I'll worship thee Now here I am all alone and blue All because I love no one but you
I have left my friends, I left my home When you promised to be mine alone Now you're gone our love could never be May you never be alone like me
In the bible,God's own words do say For every wrong some day you'll have to pay I'll pray the Lord to set me free May you never be alone like me
Goodbye Little Darling
Goodbye little darling we're parting Parting don't always mean goodbye Although we have to part, you're always in my heart Goodbye little darling goodbye
Goodbye little darling, I'll miss you Miss you like the stars would miss the sky I hate to see you go, I'm going to miss you so Good bye little darling, goodbye
Goodbye little darling, I love you I'll love you till the day I die Will you dream a dream of me, wherever you may be Goodbye little darling, goodbye
Quando eu voltar pra você Eu vou voltar inteiro Quando eu chegar Com o meu olhar matreiro
Quando eu tocar a campainha Me aninha Estou certo que você é minha rainha Eu tenho andado tão triste Feito lixo ao sol Pode dizer que não quer Mas você vai ser de novo minha mulher
É que eu sou tão diferente Daquele que te maltratou Você vai ver, você vai gostar
Olha a lua lá no céu Magrinha, turca Olha o ar, olha o mar, olha as estrelas Nada disso tem importância
A natureza é uma coisa Tão sem importância Contra a tua natureza
