Il Volto Della Vita ((Adapted from: Days Of Pearly Spencer (David McWilliams) - 1967)) Composer(s): David McWilliams - Daiano - Mogol Performer(s): Caterina Caselli - 1968
Con il corpo sono qui Ma la mente mia non c'è Corre dietro a dei ricordi E chi la ferma píu
I miei occhi sono chiusi Ma ci vedo molto bene Son davanti ad una casa Entro e vedo te
Il volto della vita, ah ah Il volto dell'amore
Rose rosse alle pareti Giochi d'ombra sul tuo viso Come ali le mie braccia Si apron verso te
Ed ancora la mia mente Non è stanca di vagare E mi porta lungo il fiume E in fondo vedo te
Il volto della vita, ah ah Il volto dell'amore
Sei vestito un poco strano Ma d'altronde, come sempre Il mio cuore ti fa festa Solo a un passo da te
Ma qualcuno ha bussato E il mio viaggio è terminato Io mi alzo per aprire Apro e vedo te
Carolina Nos seus olhos fundos Guarda tanta dor A dor de todo esse mundo Eu já lhe expliquei que não vai dar Seu pranto não vai nada mudar Eu já convidei para dançar É hora, já sei, de aproveitar Lá fora, amor Uma rosa nasceu Todo mundo sambou Uma estrela caiu Eu bem que mostrei sorrindo Pela janela, ói que lindo Mas Carolina não viu
Carolina Nos seus olhos tristes Guarda tanto amor O amor que já não existe Eu bem que avisei, vai acabar De tudo lhe dei para aceitar Mil versos cantei pra lhe agradar Agora não sei como explicar Lá fora, amor Uma rosa morreu Uma festa acabou Nosso barco partiu Eu bem que mostrei a ela O tempo passou na janela Só Carolina não viu
Days Of Pearly Spencer ((Italian Version: Il Volto Della Vita (Caterina Caselli) - 1968)) Composer(s): David McWilliams First release by: David McWilliams - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
A tenement, a dirty street Walked and worn by shoeless feet Inside it's long and so complete Watched by a shivering sun Old eyes in a small child's face Watching as the shadows race Through walls and cracks and leave no trace And daylight's brightness shuns
The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass Gazing as the swollen mass On concrete fields where grows no grass Stumbles blindly on Iron trees smother the air But withering they stand and stare Through eyes that neither know nor care Where the grass is gone
The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run
Pearly where's your milk white skin What's that stubble on your chin It's buried in the rot gut gin You played and lost not won You played a house that can't be beat Now look your head's bowed in defeat You walked too far along the street Where only rats can run
The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run The race is almost run
A tenement, a dirty street Remember worn and shoeless feet Remember how you stood to beat The way your life had gone So Pearly don't you shed more tears For those best forgotten years Those tenements are memories Of where you've risen from

Flagrant Délit Composer(s): V. Buggy; J. Lepers Performer(s): Herbert Léonard
J'aime le goût salé de ta peau Quand ton corps tout bronzé sort de l'eau Et ce parfum léger qui me rend fou J'aime tes yeux étranges qui sourient Quand tes lèvres me mangent comme un fruit Ce plaisir qui dérange autour de nous
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse Encore tout éblouis de promesses Avoir envie de toi envie de nous Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout
J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi Et mourir, mourir en toi J'aime les mots troublants des secrets Que tu murmures avant et après Qui font battre mon sang, trembler ma voix
J'aime quand tu gémis de plaisir Et toute anéantie te sentir Amoureusement blottie entre mes bras Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse Encore tout éblouis de promesses Avoir envie de toi envie de nous
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi Et mourir, mourir en toi Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout Pris en flagrant délit, oui
Days Of My Youth Composer(s): Kuiokalani Lee Performer(s): Don Ho and multiple other artists
Used to fly like the birds on the wings of the wind I have played in the sun with a joy deep within I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth In the beautiful days of my youth
Ev'ry one that I met was a friend, not a foe The fears I have learned way back then I didn't know Not one deed meant unkind, not one thought uncouth In the beautiful days of my youth
The time quickly passed, the years traveled on The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone Now the child that I face, how familiar he seems He's wearing my eyes and living my dreams
Ah, my innocent child I'll spare the untruths Of the magical days, the bright shining days The beautiful days of your youth

Oh, Carol Don't let him steal your heart away I'm gonna learn to dance If it takes me all night and day
Climb into my machine so we can groove on out I know some swinging little joint where we can jump and shout It's not too far back on the highway not so long a ride You park the car out in the open you can walk inside A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am 'Cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
Oh, Carol Don't let him steal your heart away I'm gonna learn to dance If it takes me all night and day
Now, if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing Hold tight, bang your foot don't let it carry you away Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud Won't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd Well you can't dance I know you would you could I got my eyes on you, baby, cause you dance so good
Oh, Carol Don't let him steal your heart away I'm gonna learn to dance If it takes me all night and day
Oh, Carol Don't let him steal your heart away I've got to learn to dance If it takes me all night and day
Flagenheim's Odorless Cheese Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren Performer(s): Dick Powell
There are theme songs and theme songs and theme songs You hear ev'ry night on the air There are cigarette, coffee, and cream songs And songs about clothes you should wear But the song of all theme songs, the tune of all tunes Is the song that the Flagenheim baritone croons
To enjoy your veal cutlets, potatoes and peas Top off your dinner with Flagenheim cheese It will aid your digestion So take my suggestion Get Flagenheim's odorless cheese
The Day You Leave Me Composer(s): Cy Coleman - C. Gore Performer(s): Tony Bennett
On the day you leave me, it still will be spring Roses will be blooming, and robins will sing Subways will be running, doorbells will ring And all in all, the sky won't fall The sun won't suddenly grow colder Without your arm around my shoulder
On the day you leave me, there still will be stars Fog in San Francisco, and rockets to Mars Balconies and moonlight, Spanish guitars But will they be of any use to me? For I know after you've gone, somehow, life will go on How it will continue, I just don't have a clue On the day I don't have you
Caro Nome

Gualtier Maldè!.. Nome di lui siamato ti scolpisci nel core innamorato!
Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar Le delizie dell'amor mi dêi sempre rammentar!
Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà E fin l'ultimo sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà
Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà E fin l'ultimo mio sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà
Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà A te volerà, fin l'ultimo sospir, fin l'ultimo sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà
Caro nome tuo sarà, il mio desir a te ognora volerà Fin l'ultimo sospiro tuo sarà!
Gualtier Maldè!.. Gualtier Maldè!.. Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar (Borsa: E là) E fin l'ultimo sospir (Ceprano: Miratela) (Cortigiani: Oh, quanto è bella!) Caro nome tuo sarà (Marullo: Par fata od angiol) Gualtier Maldè!.. Gualtier Maldè!.. (Cortigiani: L'amante è quella di Rigoletto! Oh, quanto è bella!)
Fixing To Live Composer(s): Judy Pulver Performer(s): Petula Clark
And I feel like I'm fixing to live again To love again I feel like I'm home
And I feel just like I know myself once more When you walked out the door The feeling was gone
And the moral is us It can only be us Get down on one So down low And even a smile would Probably mean a great deal With problems with No place to go, no
And I feel like I'm Fixing to live again To love again I feel like I'm home
I feel like I'm Fixing to live again Fixing to love again I feel like I'm home
And the moral is us It can only be us Get down on one So down low And even a smile would Probably mean a great deal With problems with No place to go, no
Oh, oh Yeah
And I feel like I'm a tree With a lot of leaves Plenty more of these So won't you take some
And I feel like I've come a long way you know Still a long way to go That's how it's done
And the moral is us It can only be us Get down on one So down low And even a smile would Probably mean a great deal With problems with No place to go, no
And I feel like I'm fixing to live again To love again I feel like I'm home
I feel like I'm fixing to live again Fixing to love again I feel like I'm home
I feel like I'm fixing to live again Fixing to love again I feel like I'm home
The Day You Came Along Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Arthur Johnston Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
My heart went leaping The day you came along Forgot my weeping The day you came along Before I knew it I hummed a little song The day you came along
I only drifted before you came along The fog was lifted Because you came along I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong The day you came along
Men have conquered nations Other men have set them free Pioneers across the sea You can turn the pages through the ages but for me Twas the most eventful day in history
Two souls were mated The day you came along A world created The day you came along One glance convinced me I knew I wasnt wrong The day you came along
Two souls were mated The day you came along A world created The day you came along One glance convinced me I knew I wasnt wrong The day you came along
Five Years Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie; and various other artists
Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise Five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got Five years Five years Five years Five years
Once Upon A Dream Composer(s): Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky - Sammy Fain - Jack Lawrence First performance by: Mary Costa & Bill Shirley Covered by multiple other artists
[Princess Aurora] I know you I walked with you once upon a dream I know you The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam Yet I know its true That visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once The way you did once Upon a dream
But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once
[Princess Aurora and Prince] The way you did once
[Prince] Upon a dream
[Prince] I know you I walked with you once upon a dream I know you The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know its true That visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once The way I did once Upon a dream
Twinkle, twinkle, what a pity Alone alone on such a pretty night With enchantment on your side Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy Soft voice whispered, "This all can be right If you come and share a ride"
Carnival in Kenora I let him take me for a ride On a giant Ferris wheel Up in the neon sky Or far from the barker's cry One kiss can sometimes make you feel Like a spinning Ferris wheel
All the tents are taken down now All that's left is scuffled ground now Still the magic echoes in the sand Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy Now a stranger takes my hand; we smile And the magic understands
Carnival in Kenora I let him take me for a ride On a giant Ferris wheel Up in the neon sky Or far from the barker's cry One kiss can sometimes make you feel Like a spinning Ferris wheel

The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee Composer(s): Allan Clarke Performer(s): The Hollies
Big tall man standing in the street Gun hanging by his side Just one man that he'd like to meet That's when I began to hide
I recognised him from the face of his son The hate in his eye didn't lie Oh what I did can't be undone Borrowed time there's none to buy
Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack Ain't looking for a mad showdown But he was smart, he'd already checked A week in advance I'd paid down
Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man The job he had it didn't pay He told all about what happened that night There he is, that's the one's all he'd say
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Big tall man standing in the street Now a hand hovering waiting to slide Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun Let me in there's nowhere to hide
Well I made my play but it wasn't my day I felt the ripping lead That's when I knew my time was through Rest in peace were the last words he said
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Tonight lets raise a glass my friend To those who couldnt make it A century has shut its eyes And who are we to wake it? Cool music we play, dance and say Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball We ask for any wrong weve done The years ahead forgive us We ask for any good weve done That all of it outlive us Cool music we play, dance and say Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball Welcome to Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball
