Si vous la trouvez là dans les bras d'un ami Et que ça vous brise le coeur L'amour quand il s'en va ne fait jamais de bruit Ouais quand ça vous brise le coeur
Rien n'y fait quand on a de la peine Il faut s'incliner et se dire adieu sans haine
Surtout ne pleurez pas Pas un mot pas un cri Ouais quand ça vous brise le coeur
Si tu la trouves là Dans les bras de ton meilleur ami Mon vieux Lorsque tout ça te brise le coeur
Lorsque s'envole ton rêve à tout jamais détruit Ouais, c'est comme une agonie Bien sûr quand ça te brise le coeur
Dans le fond l'amour L'amour est une chose difficile à saisir Et il te fait tellement mal Qu'il vaut mieux Qu'il vaut mieux en finir
Et dans ces moments là Croyez moi Pas un mot pas un cri Ouais, quand ça vous brise le coeur
California And You
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Harry Puck
Oh! you old Pacific coast Oh! you land I love the most Soon I'll be returning to you To my sweetheart loving and true I just mailed a little note Written to the one I miss Just a simple little note I began by saying this
Oh! you orange scented air Oh! you train that brings me there Ev'ry other country I see Only makes you dearer to me Thro' my Pullman window pane As my station's drawing near I can hear myself again Singing in my honey's car
Don't you remember California in September? As we stood in the wood 'neath the beautiful sky I made you cry When I whispered good-bye, but dearie Don't you remember That I promised I'd be true? So expect a choo choo That's bringing me back to California and you
Fall At Your Feet Composer(s): Neil Finn Performer(s): Crowded House; and various other artists
Im really close tonight And I feel like Im moving inside her Lying in the dark And I think that Im beginning to know her Let it go Ill be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet You let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Youre hiding from me now Theres something in the way that youre talking Words dont sound right But I hear them all moving inside you, go Ill be waiting when you call
Hey and whenever I fall at your feet Wont you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself And Im more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet Would you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall, ever I fall

This is the story of a lonely man Whos seen the world From Japan to Afghanistan Hey! ho!

Not a soul in the world thought I would survive Took every muscle in my body to stay alive Hey! ho! Ill break down the walls No more defeat I want the taste of victory Revenge is sweet
Fakin' It Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
When she goes, she's gone If she stays, she stays here The girl does what she wants to do She knows what she wants to do And I know I'm fakin' it I'm not really makin' it
I'm such a dubious soul And a walk in the garden Wears me down Tangled in the fallen vines Pickin' up the punch lines I've just been fakin' it Not really makin' it
Is there any danger? No, no, not really Just lean on me Takin' time to treat Your friendly neighbors honestly I've just been fakin' it I'm not really makin' it This feeling of fakin' it I still haven't shaken it
Prior to this lifetime I surely was a tailor Look at me ("Good morning, Mr. Leitch Have you had a busy day?") I own the tailor's face and hands I am the tailor's face and hands I know I'm fakin' it I'm not really makin' it This feeling of fakin' it I still haven't shaken it

Cálice
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Gilberto Gil
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice De vinho tinto de sangue
Como beber dessa bebida amarga Tragar a dor, engolir a labuta Mesmo calada a boca, resta o peito Silêncio na cidade não se escuta De que me vale ser filho da santa Melhor seria ser filho da outra Outra realidade menos morta Tanta mentira, tanta força bruta
Como é difícil acordar calado Se na calada da noite eu me dano Quero lançar um grito desumano Que é uma maneira de ser escutado Ese silêncio todo me atordoa Atordoado eu permaneço atento Na arquibancada pra a qualquer momento Ver emergir o monstro da lagoa
De muito gorda a proca já não anda De muito suada a faca já não corta Como é difícilo, pai, abrir a porta Essa palavra presa na garganta Esse pileque homérico no mundo De que adianta ter boa vontgade Mesmo calado o peito, resta a cuca Dos bêbados do centro da cidade
Talvez o mundo não seja pequeno Nem seja a vida um fato consumado Quero inventar o meu próprio pecado Quero morrer do meu próprio veneno Quero perder de vez tua cabeça Minha cabeça perder teu juízo Quero cheirar fumaça de óleo diesel Me embriagar até que alguém me esqueça
Faits Divers Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps Comment va la vie? Il y a des endroits Elle vaut dix dollars combien je te dois Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Après bien des années d'errance Et de silence embarrassé Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité Comment parler de non-violence À un amour qu'on a violé? La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va Elle est planétaire, on se reverra Comment va la banque? La banque surnage Pour les grands requins y a pas de naufrage Comment va la mort? Record absolu Toujours très discrète, je n'en sais pas plus Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va Elle est planétaire, on se reverra Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Après bien des années d'errance Et de silence embarrassé Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité Comment parler de non-violence A un amour qu'on a violé? La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde?" Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va" Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers Comment va l'amour quand il vous a vu? A fait demi-tour, on n'en parle plus Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde? " Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"
Après bien des années d'errance De populations déplacées La solitude n'a pas de nationalité Il faudrait casser ce silence Vous l'avez mal interprété La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers
That's What You Mean To Me Composer(s): George Graff Jr. - George H. Gartlan
I know that you love me, you know I love you But you wonder, if days to be Will find us the same, let me answer, dear Do you know what you mean to me?
Every rose has it's fragrance The skies have the stars And the night has the day to be The day has the sunshine, but I have you And you're all that and more to me
All that the sunshine means to the rose And blossoms mean to the tree All that the spring time to the earth And rivers mean to the sea All that their singing means to the birds And honey means to the bee All that a girl ever meant to a boy That's what you mean to me

Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody People gathered round a dancing and singing so merrily Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea Oer the water to Kintyre, the prettiest place youll ever see To the pubs and bars of Oban, theyre all proud of their old country Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
On the road to Drumnadrochit, theres music everywhere For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air Through Glengarrys running rivers, cascading to the sea To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now thats Scotland to me Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free
When the fiddle plays from Shetland, they heard the pipers song They came oer the sea to join him, they danced and they sang along From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee Theyre all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea Hell have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
