Ne Me Splitte Pas ((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (Simone Langlois) - 1959)) Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Hugo Poliart
Bronvermelding: http://www.13lignes.be (22 januari 2011)
Ne me splitte pas Il faut négocier Tout peut s'négocier Qui s'enfuit déjà? Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu À savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois À coups de pourquoi Le conciliateur Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Moi je t'offrirai Des tas de compromis Un nouveau pays Où on ne chôme pas Je te laisserai des terres, et la Mer du Nord Si on peut encore, y boire une bonne bière Je ferai un domaine Où l'emploi sera à toi La sécu sera à moi Mais on gardera la Reine Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Ne me splitte pas Je te rédigerai Des notes insensées Que tu approuveras Je te parlerai De ces partis-là Qui ont vu deux fois Leur score augmenter Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas Pu se reposer Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu D'un gouvernement Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est paraît-il Des têtes brûlées Prêtes à négocier Jusqu'au mois d'avril Mais quand je lis Le Soir Avec Jan Bucquoy Le rouge, jaune et noir Ne s'épousent-ils pas? Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas Je ne veux plus voter Je n'vais plus me raser Je me cacherai là À te regarder Parler et sourire Dans ma petite télé Pour éviter le pire Je veux bien grandir Te tendre la main Apprendre le latin Et l'apprendre à mon chien Mais Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
My Johnny Was A Shoemaker
(Tradional)
Performer(s): Steeleye Span
and multiple other artists
My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he's gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
He will sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
His jacket was a deep sky-blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky-blue, it was I do declare
And to reeve the top sails up against the mast
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
He'll sail across the stormy sea
Some day he'll be a captain bold with a brave and gallant crew
Some day he'll be a captain bold with a sword and spy glass too
And when he has his gallant captain's sword
He'll come home and marry me, marry me
He will come home and marry me
My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he's gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
He will sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
My Johnny he made shoes and dearly he loved me
With pitch all on his hands, he'll sail across the sea
His jacket it was blue, curly hair had he
He'll be a captain bold and sail across the sea
Stormy sea, He'll sail across the stormy sea

Tell Lorrie I Love Her Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Jeff Barry - Keith Whitley Performer(s): Keith Whitley
If I were alone in the desert Without a drink of water around On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand With the hot Sahara sun beating down If I could be granted my wishes If anything I want could come true I know that it might sound funny But here's what I'd want you to do
Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her Tell her everything would be okay If I could just see her Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
If I were adrift on the ocean A vessel with no sails or steam Floating aimlessly on and endless sea Hopelessly lost it would seem If all of the fish in the water Could echo my last dying plea I know you might not understand it But here's what I'd want it to be
Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her Tell her everything would be okay If I could just see her Tell Lorrie I love her Tell Lorrie I need her If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me
My Isle Of Golden Dreams Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Blaufuss Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Out of the mist lips I have kissed call tenderly Out of the west, hands I have pressed beckon to me Over the sea waiting for me lonely and blue Somebody sighs, somebody cries, I love you, I love you
Drifting in dreams, drifting it seems back to the shore Where hand in hand over the sand we'll stroll once more Heart of my heart, we'll never part, I hear her say But with the dawn my dreams have gone astray
I hear the voice of my land A-callin' me it seems Those fair Hawaiian islands My isle of golden dreams
I hear the voice of my land A-callin' me it seems Those fair Hawaiian islands My isle of golden dreams
Goody Goody Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
So you met someone
who set you back on your heels - goody goody So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody goody So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night - goody goody So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to ya Goody goody for him - goody goody for me And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you!

My Ideal Composer(s): Newell Chase; Leo Robin; Richard A. Whiting Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey
Will I ever find the boy in my mind The one who is my ideal? Maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Or will I pass him by And never even know that he is my ideal?
Or maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Although he may be late I trust in fate, and so I wait for my ideal I wait for my ideal

Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring He saw a sign for a stock car race A thousand dollar prize it read He couldn't get Laura on the phone So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds He was the youngest driver there The crowed roared as they started the race 'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day How his car overturned in flames But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die
And in the chapel where Laura prays For Tommy who passed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die Tell Laura I love her...

When the shades of night are falling can you hear my heart a calling Honey moon man, my honey man? It is now the time of wooing It is now such hearts are cooing Honey moon man, my honey man Down thro' lovers lane they're strolling while the evening bells are tolling and I'm sad at heart as on their joys I gaze come to me love with caresses hold me close and smooth my tresses My honey moon man, my honey man
My honey moon man My honey moon man Won't you come down here to me while the stars are shining for you I'm pining I want to sit right on your knee every thing's asleeping all the crickets gone to rest while I wait my heart goes out to you come down I'm lonely I want you only I want you now My honey moon man

Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be Sweet dreams to carry you close to me I wish they may and I wish they might Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight

My Home's In Alabama Composer(s): Theodore Gentry; Randy Owen Performer(s): Alabama
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away to some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A. Up to New York City, all across the USA I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
What keeps me goin'? I don't really know can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
My Home Town Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
I really have a yen to go back once again Back to that place where noone wears a frown To see once more those super special folks in my home town No feller could ignore the little next door she sure looked sweet in here first evening gown Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free in my home town
I remember Dan the druggist on the corner he was never mean or ornery he was swell He killed his mother in law and ground her up real well And sprinkled just a little bit over each banana split
The guy that taught us math and never took a bath acquired a certain measure of renown And after school he sold the most amazing pictures in my home town
The fellow was no fool who taught our Sunday school and neither was our kindly Parson Brown I guess I'd better leave the next line out just to be safe in my home town
I remember Sam he was the village idiot and though it seemed a pity it was so He loved to burn down house just to see the glow And nothing could be done because he was the mayor's son That guy who took a knife and monogrammed his wife and dropped her in the pond and watched her down Oh yes indeed those people there are just plain folks in my home town

Laura ja Ilmari styylas ja Ilmari lahjoitti Lauralleen kukkaa, sukkaa, vaan rahnat ei riittäneet sormukseen!
Hän oli lähdössä viis satasten hän tiesi: tonnin saa voittaja sen ja varikolta soitti hän Lauralleen ja toisti tunteensa uudelleen ja uudelleen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Jos tänään en voitakaan niin huomenna taas sun olla saan!"
Hän johti kierroksen ensimmäisen hän oli nuorin kai kilpailun sen Vain ohimennen vilkaisi katsomoon päin ja koneen hallinnan menetti hän yllättäin!
Ei kukaan nähnyt, miten tapahtui tuo Pian paarit kannettiin Ilmarin luo Vain hetken hän oli vielä tajuissaan mut ohut kuiskaus kuului vielä huuliltaan
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
Jäi Laura istumaan kappeliin silmät peittyivät kyyneliin... Hän muiti Ilmarin lupauksen vain kappelin seinät kuiskas hiljasen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
