Casi, Casi (Traditional) Performer(s): Victor Jara; Quilapayún
Casi casi me quisiste casi te he querido yo no llores negra no llores, no Si no es por el casi, casi casi me caso con vos no llores negra no llores, no
El pañuelo que me diste rama en rama se quedo no llores negra no llores, no Vino un fuerte remolino y todo se llevo no llores negra no llores, no
Botellita dibujada llenita de agua de olor no llores negra no llores, no El quererte no era nada el dejarte era un dolor no llores negra no llores, no
Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart Composer(s): Jack Clement Performer(s): Johnny Cash
From the back door of your life you swept me out dear In the breadline of your dreams I lost my place At the table of your love I got the brush off At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race
I've been washed down the sink of your conscience In the theatre of your love I lost my part And now you say you've got me out of your conscience I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart
In the garbage disposal of your dreams I've been ground up dear On the river of your plans I'm up the creek Up the elevator of your future I've been shafted On the calendar of your events I'm last week
I've been washed down the sink of your conscience In the theatre of your love I lost my part And now you say you've got me out of your conscience I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart
Casi, Casi
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael
Yo tengo casi, casi la seguridad Que de ti muy pronto, muy pronto me voy a enamorar Yo tengo casi, casi que decirte ya Que de estar contigo, contigo te quiero de verdad Y sin saber si me quieres un poco Yo vivo para ti, solo para ti Y sin saber si me gustan tus besos Los quiero para mi, solo para mi
Yo tengo casi, casi la seguridad Que tu amor mañana, mañana lo puedo conquistar Y tu eras casi, casi solo una amistad Pero ya contigo, contigo me tengo que casar
Fluid Conduction Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans Performer(s): Golden Earring; Anouk
I've been sleepin' all day Slummin' all night in a 44 hour sedation Since the day you cut me out of your life The night I killed your patience
Always tried to lie to you The truth is that I love you I need you more than anything Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace Headin' for destruction
Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood The way you function Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction
It was max, the king of facts He made me steal for your number I promised not to tell on him But you know me, I'm a sucker
Always tried to lie to you The truth is that I love you I need you more than anything Without you I discover, I'm a maniac and a menace Headin' for destruction
Your lips, I miss your tears your hips your piss your blood The way you function Maybe I should thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction Your kiss, I miss your tears your fingertips my satisfaction I swear that I could thank some god for your amazing fluid conduction

En un intento simple este hombre se confiesa enamorado en honor de un sola mujer y va hilvanando ilusión con realidad
En este adagio al amor yo quisiera dejarte mi obra maestra mi sinfonía o mi pequeña canción que no llega a poesía que te baste mi voz
Mi sol que vuela en fiebre tu luna se descalza sumérgeme en tu piel que el vértigo me hace bien guarece tu temporal al lado mío
En un intento simple este hombre se confiesa enamorado en honor de un sola mujer y va hilvanando ilusión con realidad sumérgeme en tu piel que el vértigo me hace bien guarece tu temporal al lado mío...

Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1971
Je suis né dans le dix-neuvième Un arrondissement de Paris Pas comme les autres Presque maudit J'attendis que mon frère se marie Pour avoir sa chambre et son lit Pourtant, j'étais le dernier Le cadet, le chéri
Papa faisait après dîner Le récit de sa journée Maman parlait des factures Des problèmes et du futur Moi, j'attendais le dessert Sans penser à la vie chère
Mais ils ont tout fait Pour que mon enfance Soit le reflet de l'insouciance Je les embrasse et leur dit "merci" Pour m'avoir évité une vie à crédit Car Cash Ils ont toujours payé cash Leurs querelles et leurs amours Sont à eux et pour toujours
Papa est mort aujourd'hui Mais il sait que je pense à lui Que Maman ne manquera de rien Car leur leçon m'a fait du bien
J'ai une vie de vagabond Mais mon cur n'en est que bon Et partout où m'entraîne ma vie Je refuse l'amour à crédit Je paye cash mes amitiés Même si en retour je n'ai plus qu'à pleurer Car Cash Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash Mes querelles et mes amours Sont à moi et pour toujours
J'ai vingt-neuf ans maintenant Et je chante depuis plus de dix ans Ma carrière est en dent de scie Des succès parfois l'oubli Mais je n'ai rien à me reprocher Car j'ai toujours chanté avec sincérité
La paix est dans mon esprit J'apprends à aimer la vie Mes enfants et mes amis Les fleurs, les chiens me l'on dit Qu'un monde meilleur va venir Où Papa pourrait revenir Et partout où m'entraîne ma vie Je refuse l'amour à crédit Je paye cash mes amitiés Même si en retour je n'ai plus qu'à pleurer Car Cash J'ai toujours payé cash Mes querelles et mes amours Sont à moi et pour toujours
Cash Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash Mes querelles et mes amours Sont à moi et pour toujours
Cash Oui, j'ai toujours payé cash Mes querelles et mes amours Sont à moi et pour toujours

Tous les enfants de la Terre Sont des poètes aux yeux clairs C'est la promesse de l'aube Sur les forêts d'émeraude Ils ont tous dans le regard Deux milles ans de mémoire d'espoir
Enfants d'amour et d'avenir Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs Tant de choses à dire Et pour les temps qui viennent Leurs sourires nous entraînent
Dans le secret de leurs mains Coule une histoire un chemin Même quand leur mère les embrasse Elle sait bien que le temps passe Ils sont venus de la nuit Pour éclairer un jour la vie
Enfants d'amour et d'avenir Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs Tant de choses à dire Et pour les temps qui viennent Leurs sourires nous entraînent
Enfants d'amour et d'avenir Ils ont depuis toujours nos souvenirs Tant de choses à dire Et pour les temps qui viennent Leurs sourires nous entraînent Nous entraînent

Flowers On The Wall Composer(s): Lewis DeWitt Performer(s): The Statler Brothers; The New Christy Minstrels
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun
Chorus Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time
Chorus
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
The End Of Our Road Composer(s): Roger Penzabene - Barrett Strong - Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Marvin Gaye and multiple other artists
Gotta get away from you Fast as I can Too much for me baby More than my heart can stand Like a kid behind the wheel You been reckless with my heart If I stay around you'll surely tear it all apart The road's got to end somewhere Every road has got to end somewhere Now is the time for the show down So let me give you the low down We've come to the end of our road
Just think about all those nights You left me at home lonely You only did it cause you knew I love you only Runnin' around with every girl in town I'm tellin' you boy No longer will I be your clown Sayin' the road's got to end somewhere Sayin' every road has got to end somewhere Sick and tired of your stuff Said enough is enough We've come to the end of our road
Ain't no sense in your beggin' and pleadin' Talkin' bout I'm not the one that you're needin' Said I done had my fill of you Hurt me so through the years I've done sure enough run out of tears Telling you I couldn't cry if I wanted to Said the road's got to end somewhere Well now every road has got to end somewhere Time and again I begged you to slow down So I'm givin' you the low down We've come to the end of our road
Casey Jones
Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Jerry Garcia
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1970
Driving that train, high on cocaine Casey Jones you better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine makes it on time Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine Hits River Junction at seventeen to At a quarter to ten you know it's travlin' again
Driving that train, high on cocaine Casey Jones you better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble ahead, lady in red Take my advice you'd be better off dead Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two is On the wrong track and headed for you
Driving that train, high on cocaine Casey Jones you better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble with you is the trouble with me Got two good eyes but you still don't see Come round the bend, you know it's the end The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...
Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
Through the corridors of sleep Past the shadows dark and deep My mind dances and leaps in confusion I don't know what is real I can't touch what I feel And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
So, I'll continue to continue To pretend That my life will never end And that flowers never bend with the rainfall
The mirror on my wall casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection I am blinded by the light Of God and Truth and Right And I wander in the night without direction
(refrain)
It's no matter if you're born to play the king or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow And so my fantasy becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot) 1966 - Je T'aime (Sheila)
È bianco, è nero, è biondo, è bruno Combatte con le atomiche e le spade Ha più di quarantanni e ne ha solo diciannove combatte da quando è nato luomo
È ateo, indu, cattolico, ebreo buddista, metodista, puritano Capisce di far male fa solo il suo dovere uccide me per te amico mio
E combatte per il Canada, combatte per la Francia combatte per gli U.S.A. E combatte per la Russia e combatte per la Cina lui dice "Per la pace universale"
Non chiede per chi muore lui crede che uccidendo la guerra finalmente finirà Ed è lui che deve dire chi vivrà e chi morirà e non legge mai le scritte lì sui muri
Ma Hitler senza lui non avrebbe fatto tanto Cesare sarebbe stato solo Ed è lui che dà il suo corpo come un arma per la guerra senza lui queste stragi finiranno
È soldato universale ed è solo colpa sua gli ordini non vengon più dallalto Vengon da noi, da voi, da me, da te e fratelli non capite Così la guerra non finisce più

Quando Martin vedete solo per la città forse voi penserete dove girando va Solo, senza una meta Solo... ma c'è un perché
Aveva una casetta piccolina in Canadà con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!
Ma un giorno, per dispetto, Pinco Panco l'incendiò e a piedi poveretto senza casa lui restò "Allora cosa fece?" - Voi tutti chiederete Ma questa è la sorpresa che in segreto vi dirò
Lui fece un'altra casa piccolina in Canadà con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!
E tante e tante case lui rifece ma, però quel tale Pinco Panco tutte quante le incendiò Allora cosa fece? Voi tutti lo sapete!
Flowers In The Rain Composer(s): Roy Wood Performer(s): The Move; Joe Bourne; Nancy Sinatra
Woke up one morning half asleep With all my blankets in a heap and yellow roses gathered all around me the time was still approaching four I couldn't stand it anymore Saw marigolds upon my eider down
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool
So I lay upon my side with all the windows opened wide Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking Hoping not to make a sound I pushed my bed into the grounds In time to catch the sight that I was seeking
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool
If this perfect pleasure has the key Then this is how it has to be If my pillow's getting wet I don't see that it matters much to me
I heard the flowers in the breeze make conversation with the trees Believed to leave reality behind me With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed In a world of fantasy you'll find me
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool

Je taime pour ton sourire, je taime pour ta douceur Je taime pour tout ce qui est dans ton cur Pour le bras que tu offres et la main que tu tends Et pour lamour que tu portes aux enfants
Je taime pour ta façon de partager ton pain Avec celui qui souffre de la faim De donner ton manteau au pauvre qui a froid Et dabriter létranger sous ton toit
Je taime parce que tu sais trouver, lorsquil est dans lennui Les mots quil faut pour aider un ami Je taime pour ton dédain des gens qui se croient tout puissants Ton mépris des honneurs et de largent
Je taime parce que tu ne seras jamais vraiment heureux Tant quil y aura sur Terre des miséreux Et parce que tu essaies, rien quavec tes deux mains De transformer le monde de demain
Je taime parce que tu voudrais tant que sonnent par milliers Les cloches des églises du monde entier Que tu crois au bonheur quelles peuvent tapporter Que rien ne te décourage jamais
Je taime parce que tu sais rêver, loin des réalités En suivant toujours, toujours ton idée Et que tes rêves les plus beaux, ce sont les miens aussi Nous allons les poursuivre tous les deux chaque jour de notre vie
Caserne
Composer(s): Guy Thomas - Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Blanchis les troncs des marronniers Tous au carré bien alignés Rouges les toits rouges les briques Bleu le ciment patriotique Et pas une herbe dans la cour Pour nous passer le mal d'amour Ici tout est réglementaire Pas un caillou n'est de travers Murs en béton chevaux de frise Y'a que les barbelés qui frisent
En rang par trois pas cadencé Sous l'oeil attendri des bouchers On maquignonne il faudrait voir Pour les augustes abattoirs Ici le monde est chamboulé Les assassins sont galonnés Partout la crasse et la bêtise Ces deux vertus de l'entreprise Partout la raison du plus fort Sous le badigeon tricolore
Je reste à toi ma solitude Dans le troupeau des habitudes Et jusque dans le désarroi Quand le poète est aux abois Pour tous les moutons qui consentent Je suis la rage impénitente Seul au milieu de la débine C'est à moi seul que je jaspine Holà de la philanthropille Y'a des consciences qui roupillent
Blanchis les troncs des marronniers Tous au carré bien alignés Rouges les toits rouges les briques Bleu le ciment patriotique Et pas une herbe dans la cour Pour nous passer le mal d'amour...
