Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne Et de cette chanson gitane Qui racontait l'histoirede cette rose noire Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit Si jolie Et sous la lune bleue comme on était heureux Seuls tous les deux

Lush Life Composer(s): Billy Strayhorn First recording/First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1948 Covered by multiple other artists
I, I used to visit all these very gay places Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get a feel of life From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces With distant gay traces That used to be there You could see where they've been washed away By too many through the day Twelve o'clock tales
Then suddenly you came along With a siren song It tempts me to madness I thought for a while that your poignant smile Was tinged with the sadness ... Of a great love for me But, I was wrong I was wrong
Life is lonely again And only last week, everything seemed so sure Now life is awful again A trough full of hearts will probably be a bore, a bore
A week I might go to Paris At least a bite of it All, all I want to do is laugh in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will And yet you are still Burning inside my brain Romance is mush And it stifles those who strive Well I'll live a lush life in some small dive And I, I'll be alright with the rest All those whose lives are lonely too
Moonlight Angel Composer(s): Bernd Meinunger; Ralph Siegel Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
She was standing at the seashore in a mystic summer night And the silver moon made diamonds
out of all the tears she cried Though her eyes were filled with sorrow she looked so divine So kind of beautiful just like a moonlight angel So I asked why she was crying she slowly turned her face She whispered softly to me love can hurt a thousand ways And for one enchanted moment I was standing helplessly Your kisses really put a spell on me
Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away Tell me whats your heaven earning Tell me is your heart still yearning For a tender love you left behind Oh moonlight angel how could I make you stay If youre tired and lonesome I will hold you tight 'Cause another heaven is hard to find
And she whispered I must leave now wait for me Ill be back soon On her face I saw dark shadows cause a black cloud hid the moon And I tried to say I love you please dont go away But all the time I knew you cant catch moonlight angels And I saw her disappearing in the darkness of the night All I felt was sorrow and a burning pain inside When I tried to walk behind her just to find the Promised Land There were no footsteps, footsteps in the sand
Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away Tell me whats your heaven earning Tell me is your heart still yearning For a tender love you left behind Oh moonlight angel gone at the break of day Tell me is your heart still yearning Deep inside for a never love you left behind If youre tired and lonesome I will hold you tight 'Cause another heaven is hard to find

Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Daiano
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Oramai, non ci vedranno piu' insieme Oramai, so' che vivro' nella tristezza Nel freddo di una carezza Che mai nessuno mi dara'... Oramai, la voce non dira' ti amo Oramai, qualcuno sara' gia' lontano Io saro' l'ombra di me stesso Triste riflesso dell'amor
E mai piu', sentiro' i tuoi dolci si... Ti vedro' camminare qui E tu non fai nemmeno un gesto! E mai piu', dormiremo vicini, piu' Sogneremo paesi blu E del resto, oramai...
Oramai, la gente ci vedra' piu' soli Oramai, non siamo piu' due parti uguali E le parole ch'eran nostre A quanti altri le dirai.. Oramai, io guardero' la porta chiusa Oramai, chi curera' piu' le tue rose Vivro' fra centomila cose Che mi ricorderanno te!
E mai piu', sentiro' i tuoi dolci si... Ti vedro' camminare qui E tu non fai nemmeno un gesto! E mai piu', dormiremo vicini, piu' Sogneremo paesi blu E del resto, oramai Oramai...
È giunta mezzanotte si spengono i rumori si spegne anche l'insegna di quell'ultimo caffè le strade son deserte deserte e silenziose un ultima carrozza cigolando se ne va il fiume scorre lento frusciando sotto i ponti la luna splende in cielo dorme tutta la città
solo va un uomo in frack ha il cilindro per cappello due diamanti per gemelli un bastone di cristallo la gardena nell'occhiello e sul candido gilet un papillon un papillon di seta blu
s'avvicina lentamente con il cedere elegante ha l'aspetto trasognato malinconico ed assente e non si sa da dove vien ne dove va chi mai sarà quell'uomo in frack
Buona notte va dicendo ad ogni cosa ai fanali illuminati ad un gatto innamorato che randagio se ne va
È giunta ormai l'aurora si spengono i fanali si sveglia a poco a poco tutta quanta la città la luna si è incantata sorpresa impallidita pian piano scolorandosi nel cielo sparirà
Sbadiglia una finestra sul fiume silenzioso e nella luce bianca galleggiando se ne van un cilindro un fiore e un frack galleggiando dolcemente lasciandosi cullare se ne scende lentamente sotto i ponti verso il mare verso il mare se ne va chi mai sarà chi mai sarà quell'uomo in frack
Addio al mondo ai ricordi del passato ad un sogno mai sognato ad un attimo d'amore che mai più ritornerà

L'uomo E La Nuvola Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Lui l'amò come la vide così bianca e inafferrabile "Lontana sei ed io non ho la scala per il cielo" Lei serena lo guardò ed al vento si distese ... e lui seguì sospirando lei che, per gioco, navigava per il cielo Lunghi anni lui l'amò sempre bianca e inafferrabile "Crudele sei e il tuo candore nasconde solo gelo" Lei turbata lo guardò e al suo pianto poi si arrese ... Ed una tenere pioggia lei gli donò consumandosi d'amore
Moonglow Composer(s): Eddie De Lange; Will Hudson; Irving Mills Originally performed by: Eddie De Lange Covered by various other artists
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast" And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast" And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

Dans les moments sans espoir Où l'on ne sait plus qu'être perdu On a peur de la nuit qui descend Je voudrais, près de toi, attendre le matin Mais je sais bien Autant chercher à retenir le vent
Sur des plages mouillées Nous irions tous les deux et dans tes yeux Je verrais le feu du soleil se couchant Je voudrais te garder bien loin du monde entier Mais je le sais Autant chercher à retenir le vent
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Quand la pluie pend des larmes aux fleurs C'est dans ton coeur, dans sa chaleur, Que je voudrais pleurer comme un enfant Il faudrait que tu m'aimes au moins quelques instants Mais je le sens Autant chercher à retenir le vent

L'uomo Che Si Gioca Il Cielo A Dadi Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Chi guarda dalla strada non ci crederebbe mai io vado a letto adesso e tu sei in piedi dalle sei tu stai pescando ed io sta notte ho amato chissà chi ho la camicia fuori e sono qui
Ti leggo dentro gli occhi "Figlio mio come ti va?" E come vuoi che vada come sempre, siamo qua ti vedo così poco ma soltanto tu sei tu con quelli là non se la faccio più
Papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via Papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via
Tu li hai giocati tutti senza avere in mano i re pien e cavalli o niente tutto il resto che cos'è? Ti sei giocato donne che impazzivano per te eppure un giorno hai pianto in un caffè
Ci sono stati giorni da piantare tutto lì eppure li hai giocati sorridendomi così per te l'estate non comincia e non finisce mai è vivere la vita come fai
papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via
E quando verrà l'ora di partire, vecchio mio scommetto che ti giochi il cielo a dadi anche con Dio e accetterà lo giuro purché in cielo, dove sta se non ti rassomiglia che ci fa?
