Prachtig In Het Blauw ((Adapted from: Tangled Up In Blue (Bob Dylan) - 1975)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Bart Peeters Performer(s): Bart Peeters - 2002
Ik lag in de zon in de zomer ik lag in de zon in het gras Jij kwam langs ik herinner het mij alsof het gisteren was je reed nog niet met de wagen En je brommer was al wekenlang stuk Je zei ik kon toevallig met mijn zuster mee Ik dacht da's wat je noemt een geluk We hebben hier ook een gemeentepark stamelde ik hees Daar gingen we heen en we zegden niets alleen maar wat clichés en ik vond jou prachtig in het blauw
Pas na een jaar of elf zouden we trouwen Oorspronkelijk alleen voor de wet Maar om de kerk in het midden te houden Deden we alles en daarna een buffet De schepen van de burgerlijke stand speelde mooi toneel En een witte jurk leek ons overbodig want die zag je al zoveel Dus vond ik jou prachtig in het blauw
Nog een stuk of elf jaren later vanop een bootje in de Middellandse Zee Sprong je bloot met de kinderen in het water Ze konden zwemmen dus dat viel gelukkig mee ik herinnerde me toen iets dat ik indertijd bij Professor Vanderkerken las Dat een plotseling besef van de oneindigheid een esthetische ervaring was En ik vond jou wondermooi in al dat blauw Ik vond jou prachtig in het blauw
Ik herinnerde me toen iets dat ik indertijd bij Professor Vanderkerken las Dat een plotseling besef van de oneindigheid een esthetische ervaring was En ik vond jou wondermooi in al dat blauw Ik vond jou prachtig in het blauw ik vond jou prachtig in het blauw
Tu Col Tamburino English & French Titles: Mr. Tambourine Man; L'homme Orchestre Performer(s): Tito Schipa Jr. (Originally performed by: Bob Dylan)
Ehi tu col tamburino Senti vuoi suonare Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Ehi tu col tamburino Ascolta vuoi suonare Fai nell'alba un suono amico e docilmente verrò
Lo so che con l'incanto Della notte che scompare Anche i sogni vanno a mare E rimango a mani cieche vuote insonni ormai Ma questa volta è peggio sai Non so ricominciare Non ho un nome da invocare E la strada antica è morta più che mai
Aprimi una strada col tuo magico tintin Sai mi sembra di sognare Quando non ti puoi aggrappare Tenti ma non puoi scappare Non ti chiedo niente meglio che fuggire via Son pronto per qualunque cosa Pronto per svanire Per lasciarmi scomparire Dammi un canto da seguire E sarò tuo lo giuro
Sì c'è un vago riso A mo' di sviso In contrappunto al sole Ma non ti farà alcun male La sua smania è di vagare E oltre al cielo non conosce altre frontiere E se udrai un trottolar di rime Seguirti nel mattino A tempo col tuo tamburino Non voltarti è un clown soltanto Lui sorride e non sa intanto Che può udirti ma non ti potrà vedere mai
Cancellami dal cuore Ogni pensiero annuvolato Nebbie e resti del passato Via dagli alberi stregati Dai germogli intirizziti Fuori al vento e via lontano Dal dominio insano di magoni infami Sì danzare sotto un cielo Di diamanti e ondeggerà La mia mano incontro al mare Sui prosceni d'ogni riva Le memorie ed i destini Persi in vortici lontani Porta l'oggi via con te fino a domani
Ehi tu col tamburino Senti vuoi suonare Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Ehi tu col tamburino Ascolta vuoi suonare Fai nell'alba un suono amico e docilmente verrò
Go The Distance Composer(s): Alan Menken Performer(s): Michael Bolton; and various other artists
I have often dreamed Of a far off place Where a hero's welcome Would be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer When they see my face And a voice keeps saying This is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday I can go the distance I will find my way If I can be strong I know every mile Will be worth my while When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road To embrace my fate Though that road may wander It will lead me to you And a thousand years Would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime But somehow I'll see it through
And I won't be looking back I can go the distance And I'll stay on track No I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't lose hope Till I go the distance And my journey is complete But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star I will go the distance I will search the world I will face its harms I don't care how far I can go the distance Till I find my hero's welcome Waiting in your arms...
I will search the world I will face its harms Till I find my hero's welcome Waiting in your arms
Tangled In Love Composer(s): Marcy Levy - Richard Feldman Performer(s): Eric Clapton
A modern man with an old-fashioned heart One look at her and I fell apart I was always the one playing it cool I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back
I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love
A long black dress and the call of the wild I was a fool to think she was just a child Out of my mind, out of control Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell
I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I never meant to feel this way Now I always want to stay...
I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love I got tangled in love, tangled in love

Hey Monsieur! L'homme Orchestre
Joue moi ta chanson
J'ai pas sommeil
Et la vie Me Mèn'seul' n'importe ou
Het Monsieur L'homme Orchestre
Fais chanter mes nuits
Dans cet'Jungle-Monnaie

J'ai vu au soleil couchant, un empire s'effondrer
Aux sables s'envoler
sous mes Yeux blessés, mais toujours éveillés
Fatigué, épuisé et les pieds entravés
Personn' à qui parler
aux Mortes cités de mes rêves émigrés
Hey Monsieur! L'homme Orchestre
Joue moi ta chanson

Conduis-moi Très loin là-bas, sur ton magiqu' Trois mats
Mes Mains sont déchirées, mes orteils sont gelés
Mais comm'hier mes bottes sont celles d'un vagabond
Prêt à partir pour n'importe où
À dormir dans un trou
au cur des grandes parades
Jette un sort sur mes ballades
je veux m'en aller avec toi, je suis prêt à tout
Hey Monsieur! L'homme Orchestre
Joue moi ta chanson
J'ai pas sommeil
Et la vie Me Mèn'seul' n'importe ou

Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Tända En Sticka Till Composer(s): Per Gessle Performer(s): Per Gessle
Jag har en vän som jag kan gå till när det är tyst och det är sent när allt jag har har rasat ner framför mig och förvandlat mig till nåt jag inte är Hon säger du, vi är varandras vingar Du flyger mig precis dit jag vill
Tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till och lysa för nån annan
Jag har en vän, ni vet inte vem jag menar Hon är lika skär som ditt finaste strå men hon är stark som junis första solsken när hon ser på mig och säger jag förstår Du tror du är så unik på denna jord men jag behöver dig som du behöver mig
Att tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till och lysa för nån annan
Tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till Tända en sticka till och lysa för nån annan
Mr. Soul Composer(s): Neil Young Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield Covered by various other artists
Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin' I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her Any girl in the world could have easily known me better She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster? Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Go Like Elijah Composer(s): Chi Coltrane Performer(s): Chi Coltrane

Mr. Snow (aka When I Marry Mr. Snow) Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Barbara Ruick & Shirley Jones and various other artists
Carrie: Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you somethin' lately
Julie: You have?
Carrie: The reason I didn't care to tell you before is 'cause you didn't have a fella of your own Hmm hmm... But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!
Julie: I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!
Carrie: His name is Mister Snow And an upstandin' man is he He comes home ev'ry night in his round-bottomed boat With a net full of herring from the sea
An almost perfect beau As refined as a girl could wish But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish
The fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo'es Knocked me flat on the floor of the room But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose And fish is my fav'rite perfume
Last night he spoke quite low And a fair-spoken man is he And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine If I could be wed with a wife And, indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine I'll be yours fer the rest of my life"
Next moment we were promised And now my mind's in a maze Fer all I ken do is look forward to That wonderful day of days...
When I marry Mister Snow The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees The birds'll make racket in the churchyard trees When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me 'cross the threshold And I'll be as meek as a lamb Then he'll set me on my feet And I'll say kinda sweet, "Well, Mister Snow, here I am!"
Then I'll kiss him so he'll know That evry'thin'll be as right as right ken be A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me For I love that Mister Snow
That young seafarin', Bold and darin', Big bewhiskered, overbearin' Darling, Mister Snow!
Reprise:
Girls: When you walk down the isle all the heads will turn What a rustlin' of bonnets there'll be And you'll try to smile, but your cheeks will burn And your eyes'll get so dim you can hardly see
With your orange blossoms quiverin' in your hand And you'll stumble to the spot where the parson is Then your finger will be ringed with a golden band And you'll know the feller's yours, and you are his
Carrie: When I marry Mister Snow The flowers'll be humming with the hum of bees The birds'll make a racket in the churchyard trees When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me across the threshold And I'll be as meek as a lamb Then he'll set me on my feet And I'll say kind of sweet, "Well Mister Snow, here I am!"
Enoch Snow: Then I'll kiss her so she'll know That ev'rything'll be as right as right can be A livin' in a cottage by the sea with me Where the salty breezes blow
I love Miss Pipperidge And I aim to Make Miss Pipperidge Change her name to Missus Enoch Snow

Go fly a kite and tie your troubles to the tail They'll be blown away by a merry gale Go fly a kite and toss your worries to the wind And they won't come back, they'll be too chagrined Go on make friends with the sky Have a talk with the sun It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun Go fly a kite and you'll imagine you're a king 'Cause you've got your world on a piece of string
