Ich hab´ das schönste Land der Welt gesehn Das Gipfelkreuz der höchsten Berge Ich durfte durch den Garten Eden gehn mit all´ den Wundern dieser Erde Doch wenn ich sagen soll was mir das Schönste ist es ist Dein lächelndes Gesicht
Amore mio Du bist schön So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen Den Menschen die uns beide sehn bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen Amore mio Du und ich Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´keine Liebe mehr für mich
Dein Lächeln jagt die dunklen Wolken fort die unseren Alltag manchmal trüben Und manchmal findest Du ein Zauberwort um alle Sorgen zu besiegen Die Welt ist wunderbar solange es Dich gibt Ich bin so sehr in Dich verliebt
Amore mio Du bist schön So wie ein Sonnenstrahl am Morgen Den Menschen die uns beide sehn bleibt meine Sehnsucht nicht verborgen Amore mio Du und ich Wir sind ein Herz und eine Seele In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich
In einem Leben ohne Dich wär´ keine Liebe mehr für mich
One More Walk Around The Garden Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Sarah Brightman; and various other artists
That old April yearning Once more is returning And I have a longing to wander
The leaves may be falling But April is calling And the prim roses beckon me yonder
For one more walk around the garden One more stroll along the shore One more memory I can dream upon Until I dream no more For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait And one more prayer it's not too late To gather one more rose Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate
That old urge is saying It's time to go straying Where no one but April can find me
To try and recover The heart of a lover That I left lying somewhere behind me
Just one more walk around the garden One more stroll along the shore One more memory I can dream upon Until I dream no more For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait And one more prayer it's not too late To gather one more rose Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate
Non È Più La Mia Canzone
((Adapted from: What Have They Done To My Song Ma (by Melanie Safka) - 1970))
((French Version: Ils Ont Changé Ma Chanson (by Dalida) - 1970))
Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Mogol
Performer(s): Dalida - 1970
Non è più la mia canzone Non è più mia oramai Io che l'avevo sritta in una soffitta Amavo la mia canzone Non è più mia oramai
Non son più mie le parole Le hanno cambiate perchè Cantavo la mia vita, ma non l'han capita Ho quasi pianto quando l'ho sentita Non è più mia oramai
Io raccontavo il mio amore Io raccontavo il mio amor Scrivendola il mio cuore avevo messo Puo darsi che farà successo, ma Non é più la mia canzone
lls ont changé ma chanson, ma Ils ont changé ma chanson Moi qui l'avais écrite, paroles et musique J'aimais bien ma chanson, ma Ils ont changé ma chanson
Han tradito la mia canzone E insieme a lei anche me Una canzone in fondo non è niente Eppur m'han fatto male veramente Non è più la mia canzone
La, la, la...
Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa La mia canzone non vivrà
Non è più mia canzone L'hanno cambiata ormai Ma in fondo al mio cuore, non c'è una promessa Io perdo il successo ma resto me stessa La mia canzone non vivrà

One More Time To Live Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes
and he who wants to fight begins the end of time For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these
Desolation Creation (Tell me someone why there's only confusion) Evolution (Tell me someone that this is all an illusion) Pollution (Tell me someone) Saturation (Tell me someone) Population Annihilation Revolution (Tell me someone why this talk of revolution) confusion (Tell me someone when we're changing evolution) Illusion (Tell me someone) Conclusion (Tell me someone) Starvation Degredation Humiliation Contemplation (Changes in my life) Inspiration Elation (Changes in my life) Salvation (Changes in my life) Communication Compassion Solution
Look out on the hedgerow As the world rushes by Hear the birds sing such
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime How one thought will live provide the others die For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these
(Repeat middle part)
Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye

One more sunrise One more daybreak for a brea-a-kin' hear-ear-ear-ear-eart

My baby she may not a-look Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club But she got somethin' much greater than gold Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul
I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know That she knocks me off my feet Have mercy on me 'Cause she knocks me off my feet There is no girl in the whole world That can love me like you do
My baby when she walks by All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Everybody in the neighborhood Will testify that my girl she looks so good She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right Mercy, mercy, mercy

One More Saturday Night Composer(s): Bob Weir; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bees Make Honey; Kingfish; David Murray; The Persuasions
I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus Uh huh, hey, Saturday night One more Saturday night Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armory With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou Composer(s): P. Kartner Performer(s): Corry Konings
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Jij hebt mij geluk gebracht Nooit had ik er aan gedacht Dat het ooit nog stuk zou gaan Kijk mij eenmaal aan
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Waarom ging die droom voorbij Want jij houd niet meer van mij Niets was mooier op deez aard Niets was toch meer waard
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Waar moet ik nou heen
One More Red Nightmare Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Richard Palmer-James; John Wetton Performer(s): King Crimson; Realm
Pan American nightmare Ten thousand feet fun-fair Convinved that I dont care Its safe as houses I swear I was just sitting musing The virtues of cruising When altitude dropping My ears started popping One more red nightmare
Sweat beginning to pour down My neck as I turn round I heard fortune shouting Just get off of this outing A farewell swan song See you know how turbulence can be The stewardess made me One more red nightmare
Reality stirred me My angel had heard me The prayer had been answered A reprieve has been granted The dream was now broken Thought rudely awoken Really safe and sound Asleep on the greyhound One more red nightmare

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

(French Version: Jésus Bambino - 1971)
Composer(s): Paola Pallottino; Lucio Dalla
First release by: Lucio Dalla - 1971
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
