One More Night Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
I've been trying oh so long, to let you know let you know how I feel So if I stumble and if I fall, just help me back so I can make you see
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
I've been sitting here so long, just wasting time, just staring at the phone And I was wondering, should I call you, then I thought, maybe you're not alone
Oh please give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Just give me one more night, give me that one more night Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Like a river to the sea, I will always be with you And if you said a word, I would follow you
To give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same And I know it's only words But if you change your mind, you know that I'll be he And maybe we both can learn
Ah give me just one more night, give me that one more night Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Just give me one more night, oh give me that one more night Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

Non andare via Puoi dimenticare Tutto quello che, se n'è andato già Tutti i malintesi, e tulti i perchè Che uccidevano, la felicità Puoi dimenticare, tutto il tempo che E passato già, non esiste più Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Io io ti offriro Perle di pioggia venute da dove non piove mai Apriro la terra giù fino nel fondo Per coprirti d'oro, d'oro e di luce E ti portero, dove non c'è più Che quel che tu vuoi, che quel che tu cerchi Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Non andare via Per te inventero Le parole pazze, che tu capirai E ti parlero, di due amanti che Per due volte già, hanno visto il fuoco Ti raccontero, la storia di un re, che mori perchè Non li vide mai Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Nel vulcano spento, che credevi morto Molte volte il fuoco è rinato ancora Ed il fuoco brucia, tutto quanto intorno E non riconosce, niente e nessuno E quando c'è sera, e c'è il fuoco in cielo Il rosso ed il nero, non hanno un confine Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Non andare via Io non piango più, io non parlo più, mi nascondero E ti guardero, quando riderai e ti sentiro, quando canterai Saro solo l'ombra, della tua ombra Della tua mano, l'ombra del tuo cuore Non andare via, non andare via Non andare via

Covered by multiple other artists
Dice che era un bell'uomo e veniva, veniva dal mare... parlava un'altra lingua... però sapeva amare
e quel giorno lui prese mia madre sopra un bel prato.. l'ora più dolce prima di essere ammazzato
Così lei restò sola nella stanza la stanza sul porto con l'unico vestito ogni giorno più corto
e benché non sapesse il nome e neppure il paese m'aspetto' come un dono d'amore fino dal primo mese
Compiva sedici anni quel giorno la mia mamma le strofe di taverna le cantò a ninna nanna!
e stringendomi al petto che sapeva sapeva di mare giocava a far la donna col bimbo da fasciare
E forse fu per gioco o forse per amore che mi volle chiamare come nostro signore
Della sua breve vita, il ricordo il ricordo più grosso e' tutto in questo nome che io mi porto addosso
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte e bevo vino per la gente del porto mi chiamo Gesù bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte e bevo vino per la gente del porto mi chiamo Gesù bambino
One More Kiss, Dear Composer(s): Peter Skellern; Vangelis Performer(s): Vangelis; Badi Assad; Riccardo Eberspacher; New American Orch.; Space 2000
One more kiss, dear One more sigh Only this, dear It's goodbye For our love is such pain And such pleasure And I'll treasure till I die So for now, dear Aurevoir, madame
But I'm how-d'ye, not farewell For in time we may have a love's glory Our love story to tell
Just as every autumn Leaves fall from the tree Tumble to the ground and die So in the springtime Like sweet memories They will return as will I Like the sun, dear Upon high We'll return, dear To the sky And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow Until tomorrow goodbye one more kiss, dear One more sigh Only this, dear Is goodbye For our love is such passion And such pleasure And I'll treasure till I die
Like the sun, dear Upon high We'll return, dear To the sky And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow Until tomorrow goodbye

One More Day Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy C. Bennett Performer(s): Mickey Shaughnessy
I'm up in the mornin' with the risin' sun I work like a slave till the day is done Just workin' and sleepin' and nothin' more And ev'ry day is just like the day before
One more day One more day One day older and nearer to my Lord One more day
Listen to the prayer of a lonely man Livin' day by day the best he can Give me the strength to carry my load Glory waits for me at the end of the road
One more day One more day One day older and nearer to my Lord One more day
De nos tanières de draps blancs De nos gravats mangés en rêves De notre pain de temps en temps Et de nos miettes marche ou crève Avec la vie au beau milieu Et puis la faim qui nous soulève Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De nos salaires raccourcis Et qui rallongent notre gêne De l'or qui pousse au quat'jeudis De nos éternelles semaines Avec la rage au beau milieu Et puis l'envie qui nous malmène Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De notre terre à ciel perdu De nos fusils à cicatrices De nos enfants qui n'ont pas pû Éloigner d'eux l'amer calice Avec la guerre au beau milieu Et puis le héros qui s'y glisse Nous te disons merci mon dieu
Des chevaux d'avoine posthumes Qui traînent leurs derniers convois Des chiens perdus que l'on transhume Vers leurs derniers pipis de croix Avec la mort au beau milieu Et la pitié qui nous consumme Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De cette croix du Golghota Qui crucifie tant de poitrines Et de ton fils qui n'a fait ça Que pour la peau et les épines Avec l'amour au beau milieu Et puis ton ciel qu'on imagine Nous te disons pourquoi mon dieu
One More Day Composer(s): James Pankow; Carmen Grillo Performer(s): Chicago
Listen to the wind Hear the voice inside you Something in the air Something you've been blind to People everywhere are dying to be free Time has come to live our lives in harmony
Chorus: Give the children of the world one more day Give the children of the world, give them one more day
Where do we begin? When will freedom find us? Bring the new day in Free the chains that bind us People reaching out for just a little more Love is all we need to open up the door
Chorus
Now the future's up to you Take a stand and see things thru For the children of tomorrow Give the world one more day Time enough to find a way To start over a way to go on
One more day One more day Give the children of the world One more day One more day One more day Give the children of tomorrow One more day
Merci Mon Dieu Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Pour ces désirs qui nous inondent Et se traduisent peu à peu En des instants de fin du monde Merci mon Dieu Pour ce destin que l'on se forge Avec des larmes au fond des yeux Et des joies qui prennent à la gorge Merci mon Dieu Mon cur s'en allait en déroute De lendemains en lendemains Quand tu m'as éclairé la route Et montré le chemin Celui de l'espoir qui délivre Et remplace les songes creux Par une folle envie de vivre Merci mon Dieu
L'amour que tu as conçu Pour nos âmes solitaires Fait que nos regards perdus Sont ruisselants de lumière Ils regardent le ciel ébloui Simplement pour te dire merci
Pour ces désirs qui nous inondent Et se traduisent peu à peu En des instants de fin du monde Merci mon Dieu Pour ce destin que l'on se forge Avec des larmes au fond des yeux Et des joies qui prennent à la gorge Merci mon Dieu Ce que j'attendais de la terre Et que j'espérais de la vie En t'implorant dans mes prières Au long des jours, des nuits Mon Dieu, tu me l'as fait connaître Puisque j'ai ma part de bonheur Et que l'amour rit dans mon cur Je veux crier de tout mon être Merci mon Dieu

Merci Madame La Vie Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Pour m'avoir accordé un jour Le droit de vous faire la cour Merci madame la vie Et m'avoir permis si longtemps D'être votre fidèle amant Merci madame la vie
Je n'ai cessé de vous aimer Mais vous, vous m'avez tant donné Que je reste votre obligé Quand même Et mon problème
Tant que je suis encore vivant C'est de vous redire très humblement Merci madame la vie
Bien sûr il ne tiendrait qu'à vous Pour que je reste à vos genoux Mais oui madame la vie
Vous n'auriez qu'à dire un seul mot Je reprendrais tout à zéro Mais oui madame la vie
Car j'ai un moral étonnant Et puis la force, je le sens De vous aimer encore mille ans Peut-être Mais sans promettre
Enfin quoi qu'il puisse arriver Et quoi que vous puissiez décider A vous qui m'avez tant donné Je redis Merci madame la vie
One More Cup Of Coffee Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists
Your breath is sweet Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie But I don't sense affection No gratitude or love Your loyalty is not to me But to the stars above
One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below
Your daddy he's an outlaw And a wanderer by trade He'll teach you how to pick and choose And how to throw the blade He oversees his kingdom So no stranger does intrude His voice it trembles as he calls out For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below
Your sister sees the future Like your mama and yourself You've never learned to read or write There's no books upon your shelf And your pleasure knows no limits Your voice is like a meadowlark But your heart is like an ocean Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below
Merci John D'être Venu Composer(s): Christophe Performer(s): Christophe
Je suis allé au mariage D'un copain de mon village Nous avons dîné Au milieu d'un champ de blé rasé Le fiancé faisait des bonds Dans son bel habit de location Lorsque soudain les Beatles sont arrivés
Ils ont chanté ils ont chanté yeah Ils ont chanté toute la journée Ils ont chanté ils ont chanté yeah Ils ont chanté toute la journée
John Lennon s'est approché Il a pris la main de la mariée Ils se sont laissé Sur une botte de foin aller
Le fiancé s'est consolé En mangeant un peu de pièce montée Tout ça parc'qu'un jour Les Beatles sont arrivés
Ils ont chanté ils ont chanté yeah Ils ont chanté toute la journée Ils ont chanté ils ont chanté yeah Ils ont chanté toute la journée Ils ont chanté ils ont chanté yeah Ils ont chanté toute la journée
Que ce soient les Beatles ou Donovan Un beau jour quelqu'un t'aurait pris ta femme Comme c'est arrivé le premier jour Y aura pas trop d'bobo côté amour ...
