Chicken Cordon Bleus Composer(s): Paula Ballan - Steve Goodman - Tony Mandel Performer(s): Steve Goodman
When I first met you baby You fed me on chicken and wine It was steak and potatoes and lobster And babe I sure felt fine But now all you ever give me Is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts You left me here with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
My stomach is empty and all I got is food for thought I been up all nite thinkin' 'Bout the twenty pounds of groceries we bought We bought ten pounds of brown rice And five more of beans And five pounds of granola And you know what that means I'm just a regular fella with the Chicken Cordon Bleus
I'm starved for affection And I don't think I can stand no more This stuff is so weird That the cock roaches moved next door Can you see that old dog out in the street He's got a big smile on his face 'Cause they let him meat Babe, I got the lemon and the Chicken Cordon Bleus
Yeah I'm goin' down to the baker and get me a cannoli And maybe a chocolate eclair would be nice...
Canto Libre
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Inti-Illimani; Francesca Ancarola
El verso es una paloma que busca donde anidar Estalla y abre sus alas para volar y volar
Mi canto es un canto libre que se quiere regalar mi canto es un canto libre A quien le estreche su mano a quien quiera disparar mi canto es un canto libre Mi canto es una cadena sin comienzo ni final y en cada eslabon se encuentra el canto de los demas
Sigamos cantando juntos a toda la humanidad Sigamos cantando juntos que el canto es una paloma que vula para encontrar Estalla y abre sus alas para volar y volar

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you Fire, I'll take you to burn Fire, I'll take you to learn I'll see you burn!

Fire, to destroy all you've done Fire, to end all you've become I'll feel you burn!

Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk Fell head over heels for that hawk's sweet talk

He said up, up, and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up, and away, we goin' fly all day Up, up, up, up, and away
No creas que es feo estar
atrapado por el sueño del amor
un poco más, un poco más
Si hasta las palomas muestran
su canto dorado por el viento
cuando estan enamoradas

Where Everybody Knows Your Name Composer(s): Gary Portnoy - Judy Hart Angelo Performer(s): Gary Portnoy
Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot Wouldn't you like to get away? All those night when you've got no lights The check is in the mail And your little angel Hung the cat up by it's tail And your third fiancé didn't show
Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You want to be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead The morning's looking bright And your shrink ran off to Europe And didn't even write And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to go where people know People are all the same You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came...
Canto Arena Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Word of Mouth
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región tomando señas, descifrando encrucijadas mi cuerpo sigue practicando su cuestión cruje mi hueso y se hace la palabra Hoy continué domesticando la razón llena de asombro ante el día sucedido proyecto un rápido boceto de la acción trazo versiones que capturo del olvido
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
He puesto filo al anhelante corazón arrojo estrellas a mecharse contra vientos el sueño ha desencadenado la canción y la canción de hoy me sabe a juramento La prisa lleva maravilla y lleva error pero viajamos sobre rueda encabritada he despertado en el ojo del ciclón cuento millones de agujeros en el alma
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
Hoy continué tomando rumbo a mi región con dulce látigo de abeja en la conciencia hoy me perdí amar con planificación pero gane a lo que partió con la prudencia Hoy continué dándole cuerda a mi reloj con timbre atado sobre número invisible poco me importa donde rompa mi estación si cuando rompe está rompiendo lo imposible
Por eso canto arena roca que luego es multitud del agua buena Y canto espuma cresta que cuando logra ser ya no es ninguna
Fiorellino
French & Spanish Titles:
Petite Fleur; Florecita
Performer(s): Sidney Bechet
L'ho nascosto meglio che in un qualsiasi altro posto nel grande giardino del mio cuore fiorellino Questo fiore più grazioso di un bouquet custodisce un segreto Tutti i miei sogni d'infanzia l'amore dei miei genitori e tutte quelle albe fatte di lieti ricordi lontani Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito tu resti la mia fortuna (o portafortuna) fiorellino Sui miei 20 anni io mi fermo un momento per respirare il profumo che ho tanto amato Dentro il mio cuore tu fiorirai sempre nel grande giardino dell'amore fiorellino.... Quando la vita in certi momenti mi ha tradito tu resti la mia fortuna fiorellino Sui miei 20 anni io mi fermo un momento per respirare il profumo che tanto ho amato Dentro il mio cuore tu fiorirai sempre nel grande giardino dell'amore fiorellino....
Clémentine Et Léon Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Clémentine et Léon Barentin Qui vendaient des pendules à Pantin Se sont connus un jour en prenant leur journal À côté du café du Canal
Et le jour de la St-Valentin Ils se sont mariés sans parents ni parrains La fanfare avait joué des musiques de Chopin Clémentine et Léon étaient bien
Pendant qu'elle attendait les clients Clémentine astiquait les cadrans Et Léon tout au fond dans son beau tablier Réparait les horloges du quartier
À côté du cahier, des tampons Il y avait sur la caisse une corbeille de bonbons Les coucous qui sonnaient du matin jusqu'au soir Donnaient l'heure, la demie et le quart
Clémentine eut deux fils de Léon Il fallut agrandir la maison On reprit pour pas cher sa boutique au voisin Jusque-là les affaires marchaient bien
Mais la guerre est venue tout défaire Clémentine a pleuré pour ses fils et leur père Les pendules ont cessé d'égayer la maison Quand Léon s'en alla pour le front
Clémentine a vendu ses bijoux Accrocché son alliance à son cou Les enfants qui donnaient du travail à foison Lui faisait oublier les saisons
Les horloges arrêtées sur une heure Attendaient le retour du soldat de son cur Quand Léon apparut dans la porte un beau soir Elle a dû se pincer pour y croire
Clémentine et Léon Barentin Pour le jour de la St-Valentin Ont rouvert la boutique et l'ont rebaptisée On entendit les bruits des baisers
Il avait fabriqué de ses mains Un carillon qui jouait sur un air de Chopin Ils avaient invité pour l'inauguration Les amis, les voisins Les enfants, les cousins La fanfare, et même tout l'orphéon Clémentine et Léon
Canto Al Sol Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti Performer(s): Raphael
Amanecer en la tierra Que esta junto a la colina Ver despertar una encina Que en el dia reverdece Con amor ya le agradece El calor que el sol envia Cantan su melancolia Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol Yo canto a la madre naturaleza
Amanecer en la tierra Que esta junto a una colina Cantando la golondrina Dice que el frio se muere Ella en sus alas no quiere Tocar esta tierra fria Cantan su melancolia Un llanto que no florece
Ay, ay, ay, ay, al grito del sol Yo canto a la madre naturaleza
The Cheater Composer(s): John Krenski First release by: Bob Kuban & The In-Men - 1966
Haven't you heard about the guy known as the Cheater He'll take your girl and then he'll lie and he'll mistreat her It seems every day now You hear people say now
Look out for the Cheater Make way for the fool-hearted clown Look out for the Cheater He's gonna build you up just to let you down
All of you girls had better stay inside your door now He'll hurt you once, then turn around and hurt you some more now While he's out betrayin' You'll hear people sayin'
Look out for the Cheater Make way for the fool-hearted clown Look out for the Cheater He's gonna build you up just to let you down
That cheater took my baby away from me Yes, and now, I don't mean maybe I'll get her back, just wait and see Wait and see
One of these days he'll find a girl who knows all about him She's gonna break his carefree heart and go on without him And you'll hear thereafter Above all the laughter
Tough luck for the Cheater Too bad for the fool-hearted clown Tough break for the Cheater Who used to build you up just to let you down
Tough luck for the Cheater Too bad for the fool-hearted clown Tough break for the Cheater Who used to build you up just to let you down
Canto A Tenerife Composer(s): M. Angel Daroca Performer(s): Raphael
Tenerife isla de amor y de ensueño Paraiso lleno de luz y de encanto De la miel de las palmeras Hizo dios tu raza guanche De la brisa de los mares Y el fuego de los volcanes
Eres mi tierra adorada Tierra de mil maravillas Con tu teide y tus cañadas Y el valle de la orudaba
Es mi canto un lamento Si me acuerdo de lo lejos Que me siento de tu suelo Hay en mi alma desconsuelo Y en la noche yo presiento Que me muero sin tu cielo
Fio Maravilha Composer(s): Boris Bergman; Jorge Ben Performer(s): Nicoletta
Ton palais était trois bouts de tôles Deux planches de bois Un paradis de bidonvilles Qui s'appelle Favela Sur les bidons on peut aussi Faire de la musique Et refaire l'Amérique
Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil Fio Maravilha, elle était pauvre ta mère Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre
Du ciel et de la terre C'est la conspiration Ton père a fait un pays Qui soit l'enfant des chansons De tes cheveux On a fait trois cordes de guitare Aux harmonies un peu bizarres
Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil Fio Maravilha, elle était pauvre ta mère Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre
Ta peau est aussi sombre Que l'air des marinas Car partout le soleil S'est approché de toi Bien sûr tu n'apprends rien à l'école Car ton école c'est l'école des sambas
Fio Maravilha, ton père c'était le soleil Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil Fio Maravilha, elle était noire ta mère Fio Maravilha, et ta mère c'est la terre Fio Maravilha, musique et toi c'est pareil Fio Maravilha ... Fio Maravilha ...
Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee ((Adapted from: Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir (Michèle Torr) - 1978)) Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice - Jan De Vuyst Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 1993
Ontroerd keek ik naar jou terwijl je naast me ligt Ik streel het klamme haar uit jouw gezicht Er speelt een dromerig glimlachje rond je mond Ik wou dat ik wist wat je droomt
De eerste zachte lijntjes geëtst in jouw gelaat Vertellen ons verhaal, dat van tederheid De minder goede dagen die we deelden met elkaar Sindsdien begrijp ik jou met één gebaar
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Soms betrap ik je wel terwijl je voor de spiegel zit Dan lees ik jouw gedachten en de angst voor wat je ziet Je hand strijkt door je haren, houden stil bij jouw gezicht En dan opeens, door de juiste inval van het licht
Dan zie ik plots het meisje waarop ik stapel was Onhandig en bedeesd, onze eerste kus De jaren hebben jou veranderd in een mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Quando penso em você Fecho os olhos de saudade Tenho tido tanta coisa Menos a felicidade Correm os meus dedos longos Em versos tristes que invento Nem aquilo a que me entrego Já me dá contentamento Eu só queria ter, do mato Um gosto de framboesa Pra correr entre os canteiros E esconder minha tristeza Pode ser até manhã Sendo claro feito dia Mais nada do que me dizem Me faz senti alegria Ainda sou bem moço Pra tanta tristeza Deixemos de coisa Cuidemos da vida Senão chega a morte Ou coisa parecida E nos arrasta moço Sem ter visto a vida
Fino Alla Fine Del Mondo Composer(s): Alessandro Blasetti; Max Minoia; Gianni Morandi Performer(s): Gianni Morandi
Quando non c'e' più un perché ne' una strada dove andare e a letto solo non ti addormenti più
E il silenzio fa rumore mentre cerchi di capire quale ragione la porta via da te
E andresti fino all'inferno cercando soltanto lei fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te che esisti dentro me
Quando manca quel sorriso e non riesci a ripartire anche il passato ormai non ti basta più
E andresti fino all'inferno cercando soltanto lei fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te che esisti dentro me
Fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te ed io ti cercherò fino alla fine del mondo
Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir ((Dutch Version: Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee (Willy Sommers) - 1993)) Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice First release by: Michèle Torr - 1978
Aujourdhui ça fait six ans que nous sommes mariés Tu mas donné de beaux enfants tu sais Et depuis ce ptit bal ou lon sest rencontré Je nai cesser de taimer Mais ce soir jai envie de déposer mon tablier De me faire belle pour toi comme par le passé Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé Ce soir laisse les de coté
Emmène moi danser ce soir Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants Comme cette nuit ou tu mas pris mes dix sept ans Emmène moi danser ce soir Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir Timidement dis-moi Michèle je taime amoureusement Je suis restée la même
Il ny a plus que tes amis et le football qui comptent pour toi Et jai limpression que tu ne vois plus en moi que le mère de tes enfants Je ne te demande pas de moffrir des fleurs tous les jours Mais de faire de temps en temps un geste damour
Et ce soir je voudrais encore une fois te retrouver Rentrer au petit jour et puis tembrasser Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé Ce soir laisse-les de coté
Emmène moi danser ce soir Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants Comme cette nuit ou tu mas pris mes dix sept ans Emmène moi danser ce soir Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir Timidement dis-moi Michèle je taime amoureusement Je suis restée la même
Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me) Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha see what you mean to me?
Everyday I think of you You're on my mind Some things in the past Are better left behind Every night I dream of you The images as clear as day Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what it means to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you We've had our time apart And I knew right from the start I could never change The way I feel about you baby We can sit here all night long And separate the right from the wrong But love won't wait Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what it means to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you Ooohh, still in love with you You know I need you baby, to stand by me Can't you see I need you, baby Oooh, I'm still in love with you Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what you mean to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you I love you
