Oh no non sarai mai piu solo
se hai gli occhi anche dentro di te
e soffrirai finche tu vedrai
quanta gente da sola che c'e

Oh no non sarai mai piu triste
se hai labbra per bere allegria
e scoprirai che c'e intorno a te
un paradiso che puoi portar via
e se troverai un sorriso in piu
ricordati che non ci sei solo tu

Oh no non sarai mai piu uomo
se non guardi dentro di te
e scoprirai che la vita e
la canzone piu bella che c'e
e c'e chi vuole cantarla con te
e se troverai una voce in piu
ricordati che non ci sei solo tu

Oh no non sarai mai piu uomo
se non guardi dentro di te
e soffrirai finche capirai
che il cantante piu folle che c'e
e chi canta solo per se

Certeza
Composer(s): Domervil
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



O que eu sinto por você
Está acima da dor e da saudade
E a canção é um prato de amor
É a felicidade
É a certeza de que você vai voltar

E ao voltar
Eu quero me refugiar
Nos seus braços, oh morena
Minha rosa, dália
Hortênsia, açucena
Meu jardim suspenso ao ar

Vivo como um pescador
Arremessado em alto mar
Esperando minha rede balançar
E esse dia vai chegar
Vai chegar
E você vai voltar
Você vai voltar Vai voltar

Fortalerza
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Elle avait les tarots tatoués
Sur l'épaule droite encadrés
Par deux cicatrices au couteau
Elle était née à Buenos Aires
Métisse d'indienne et de SS
Elle portait à son poignet droit
Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia
Da Bahia, da Bahia

Elle te laissait un goût amer
De coco et de citron vert
Elle m'attendait sous la véranda
À Fortalerza

On meurt parfois pour un rien
Une mygale ou un chagrin
Un scorpion, un américain
Elle travaillait dans un hôtel
Restaurant essence et bordel
Mode de Paris Winchester
Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia
Da Bahia, da Bahia

Elle glissait son regard oblique
Sur tes épaules et sur ton fric
Et tu restais à moisir là
A Fortalerza

Elle souriait sous la véranda
Les yeux mi-clos on y voit
Un après-midi de chaleur
Je suis passé vers les cinq heures
Immobile au milieu des fleurs
Elle ne me répondit pas
Il manquait à son poignet droit
Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia
Da Bahia, da Bahia

Elle souriait sous la véranda
Du sang dans sa bouche en cœur
Sais-tu pour qui et pour quoi?
A Fortalerza

J'ai tellement pleuré que tu vois
J'en ai un voile sur la voix
Mais qui se souvient de tout ça
Traversé par l'Equateur
Les grands vents soufflant du noroît
J'ai noué à mon poignet droit
Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia
Da Bahia, da Bahia

Alizés qu'on prend de travers
Barrières de coraux sous la mer
Pour s'en aller vers le Cap Vert
Est-ce qu'on se souvient de tout ça, à Fortalerza
Est-ce qu'on se souvient de tout ça, à Fortalerza

Oh, tu es mon regret le plus tendre
Si tendre et cruelle à la fois
Mon coeur t'en veut mais je t'aime pour deux
Sans savoir comment ni pourquoi

Oh, tu es mon regret le plus tendre
Personne ne soupçonne mes tourments
Je triche un peu, je me prends à mon jeu
Je n' sais plus moi-même si je mens

Sourire, c'est facile quand l'amour nous suit
Sourire, c'est souffrir quand il faut faire comme si

Oh, tu es mon regret le plus tendre
J'en crève de me taire et pourtant
Je vis comme si tu m'aimais aussi
Quand on fait semblant trop longtemps
On n' sait plus soi-même si on ment

Sourire, c'est facile quand l'amour nous suit
Sourire, c'est souffrir quand il faut faire comme si

Oh, tu es mon regret le plus tendre
J'en crève de me taire et pourtant
Je fais comme si tu m'aimais aussi
Toute ma vie, j'ai tellement fait semblant
Je n' sais plus moi-même si je mens

Agata
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer



Ni puedo beber vino
tu sabes por que
Ni gafas uso
aunque nada veo
y todo por ti
Vivo solo con la paga
de empleado de ayuntamiento
poco gano, mucho gastas
y me cuesta la salud
me revuelvo y luego cedo
por tenerte junto a mi
y tu en cambio me la pegas
con el dueño de un café
Agata
tu que me entiendes
Agata
tu no comprendes
Agata
mira, entérate
como este hombre
se humilla por ti
He dado caro
por un reloj suizo
tres años van
y hace tres años
que yo lo sacudo
y sigue igual
Mi chaqueta gris oscura
está ya descolorida
y se ha vuelto verde clara
ya la usaba mi papá
y me ha dicho el viejo sastre
ya no la puedo volver
pues lo he hecho muchas veces
y otra mas no aguantará
Agata
tu que me entiendes
Agata
tu no comprendes
Agata
mira, entérate
como este hombre
se humilla por ti
Mi comida
la tengo racionada
siempre por ti
en las mañanas
solo un vaso de agua
y sin café
Vuelvo a casa
y no te encuentro
y el portero
que se burla
¿dónde fuiste?
ba!,... pa' el bar
me conmuevo y pienso que
ya no echamos el julepe
cada tarde tras el té
hoy me hago un solitario
miro al al cielo y pienso en ti
Agata
tu que me entiendes
Agata
tu no comprendes
Agata
mira, entérate
como este hombre
se humilla por ti

Fort Holland Calypso
Composer(s): Lancelot Pinard



There was a family that lived on the isle
Of Saint Sebastian a long, long while
The head of the family was a Holland man
And the younger brother, his name was Rand

Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family

The Holland man, he kept in a tower
A wife as pretty as a big white flower
She saw the brother and she stole his heart
And that's how the badness and the trouble start

Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family

The wife and the brother they want to go
But the Holland man, he tell them no
The wife fall down and the evil came
And it burned her mind in the fever flame

Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family

Her eyes are empty and she cannot talk
And the nurse has come to make her walk
The brothers are lonely and the nurse is young
And now you must see that my song is sung

Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family
Ah, woe! Ah, me!
Shame and sorrow for the family

The Great Filling Station Holdup
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



I pulled into the regular pump 
I was feelin' quite at ease 
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please" 
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun 
He said, "Boy this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run" 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP 
A big ol' jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV 
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career 
We're wanted men, we'll strike again 
But first let's have a beer 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

We were sittin' in the Krystal 
About as drunk as we could be 
In walks the deputy sheriff 
And he's holdin' our TV 
Roughed us, then he cuffed us 
And he took us off to jail 
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

Yes that great fillin' station holdup 
It cost me two good years

C'est Facile
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
Mais le faire est parfois plutôt fatiguant

C'est facile
D'aller l'emmener danser
C'est facile
Et puis la raccompagner
C'est facile
Un dernier verre dans sa chambre
Mais la suite est parfois tellement fatigante

Pourtant
Un jour, tu viendras
Et là
Je t'ouvrirai
Mais, crois moi,
Et toi
Tu t'y blottiras
Et cette fois, tu sais je ne m'échapperai pas

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

Cerisier Rose Et Pommier Blanc
((English Version: Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White (Perez "Prez" Prado & His Orch.) - 1954))
Composer(s): Jacques Larue - Luis Guglielmi
First release by: André Claveau & Jo Boyer & Orch. - 1950
Covered by various other artists



Quand nous jouions à la marelle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc
J'ai cru mourir d'amour pour elle
En l'embrassant

Avec ses airs de demoiselle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc
Elle avait attiré vers elle
Mon coeur d'enfant

La branche d'un cerisier
De son jardin caressait
La branche d'un vieux pommier
Qui dans le mien fleurissait

De voir leurs noeuds enlacés
Comme un bouquet de printemps
Nous vint alors la pensée
D'en faire autant

Et c'est ainsi qu'aux fleurs nouvelles
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc 
On fait un soir la courte échelle
À nos quinze ans 

Non, non ne dites pas qu'à son âge
Vous n'étiez pas si volage 
Non, non quand deux lèvres vous attirent
J'en sais peu qui peuvent dire non

Quand nous jouions à la marelle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc 
J'ai cru mourir d'amour pour elle 
En l'embrassant

Mais un beau jour les demoiselles 
Frimousse rose et voile blanc 
Se font conduire à la chapelle 
Par leur galant

Ah quel bonheur pour chacun
Le cerisier tout fleuri 
Et le pommier n'en font qu'un 
Nous sommes femme et mari

De voir les fruits de l'été
Naître des fleurs du printemps 
L'amour nous a chuchoté 
D'en faire autant 

Si cette histoire est éternelle 
Pour en savoir le dénouement 
Apprenez-en la ritournelle
Tout simplement 

Et dans deux ans
Deux bébés roses faisant la ronde gentiment 
Vous chanteront 
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc

Försonade
English Title: Reunited
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Var inte ledsen, le lite grann
Du har väl redan förlåtit mig, eller hur
Ta nu min hand och krama den hårt
Du vinner ingenting på att vara tvär

Låt mig få viska hur mycket jag tycker om dig än
Låt mig förklara för dig att jag har dig kär
Ge mig din hand nu, ge mig din kärlek
Ta mig i famnen igen

Förlåt, förlåt
Jag är din, bara din
Kom närmre mig
Förlåt, förlåt!

Det var nog dumt, alltsammans jag sa
Det är så lätt, alla gör vi våra fel
Men den försoningskyss ska nu få
Göra att jag känner att nu lyckan jag når

Kom nu och låt oss tillsammans få höra fåglars sång
Ta mig i famnen och säg att du har mig kär
Allt det vi drömde, så kär, jag gömde
Allt är förlåtet igen

Du tar min hand och du trycker den ömt
Och sen är hela grälet glömt

Dear Santa, Bring Back My Daddy To Me!
Composer(s): Glenn Gibson
Performer(s): Irene Treadwell



I don't want a dolly for Christmas
And Santa, please don't bring me toys
I don't want to play, I'll just give them away
To some other girls and boys

I won't even hang up my stocking
I won't have a big Christmas tree
Dear Santa, I'm sad, you could make me so glad
If you bring back my Daddy to me

(I don't want a dolly for Christmas)
(And Santa, please don't bring me toys)
(I don't want to play, I'll just give them away}
(To some other girls and boys)

I won't even hang up my stocking
I won't have a big Christmas tree
Dear Santa, I'm sad, you could make me so glad
If you bring back my Daddy to me

Ceremonia
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Se despierta a la aventura
ceremonia de nacer
y la sangre se hace fuego
ceremonia del amor
y la carne se hace sangre
ceremonia fuiste tú
Por qué tanta ceremonia
ceremonia de dudar
Si la duda se adormece
ceremonia de morir

For Me ... Formidable

Laura Fygi; Gene Lees; Caterina Zapponi



You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable
You are my love... very... very... véri... véritable
Oh, je voudrais tellement pouvoir enfin te le dire
Te l'écrire dans la langue de Shakespeare

My daisy... daisy... dési... désirable
Je suis malheureux d'avoir si peu de mots à
T'offrir un cadeau
"Darling I love you, love you, darling, I want you"
Et puis, c'est à peu près tout
You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable

You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable
But how can you see me... see me... si mi... si minable
Je ferais mieux d'aller choisir mon vocabulaire
Pour te plaire, dans la langue de Voltaire

Toi, tes eyes, ton nose, tes lips adorables
Tu n'as rien compris, tant pis, ne t'en fais pas, et
Viens t'en dans mes bras
Darling I love you, love you, darling, I want you
Et puis le reste, on s'en fout
You are the one for me... formi... formidable

Je me demande même pourquoi je t'aime
Toi qui te moque de moi et de tout
Avec ton rire canaille, canaille, canaille
How can I love you?

The Great Airplane Strike
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay - Paul Revere & the Raiders - Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders



I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"
I through my close and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line
Man said "Son, you could have saves the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum

I ran to the terminal building, to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said "I'll confirm your reservation, and put the plane on hold"
He came back and said "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum, baby

I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Throw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scare his face was white
So, I explained my situation, he said "That's all right"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again
Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said "I'm sorry but this taxi's out of gas"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Formentera Lady
Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson



Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Down a sun-baked crumpled stony road

Dusty wheels leaning rusting in the sun
Snuff brown walls where Spanish lizards run
Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
Ringed by ants and musing over man

I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down
Won't climb any high thing while the sun shine
Formentera Lady sing your song for me
Formentera Lady sweet lover

Lamplights glows on old guitars the travellers strum
Insence children dance to an Indian drum
Here Odysseus charmed for dark Circe fell
Still her perfume lingers still her spell

Time's grey hand won't catch me while the sun shine down
Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine
Formentera Lady dance your dance for me
Formentera Lady dark lover

Cerdes (Outside The Gates Of)
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Outside the gates of Cerdes sits the two-pronged unicorn
who plays at relaxation time a rhinestone flugelhorn
whilst mermaids lace carnations into wreaths for ailing whales
and Neptune dances hornpipes while Salome sheds her veils

Phallus Phil tries peddling his pewter painted pot
but Sousa Sam can only hear the screams of Peep the sot
who only sips his creme de menthe from terra cotta cups
and exhales menthol scented breath whilst spewing verbiage up

Down technical blind alleys live the wraiths of former dreams
And Greeps who often crossed them are no longer what they seem
And even Christian Scientists can but display marble plaques
Which only retell legends whilst my eyes reach out for facts
Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts

Forgive Me
Composer(s): Wiley Walker; Gene Sullivan
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I left you and left you broken hearted
I left you and now I can’t forget
I thought then that I could live without you
Forgive me and I’ll make you happy yet

Forgive me for all the pain I’ve caused you
Forgive me for unkind words I’ve said
I thought once that I could live without you
I’m paying with a broken heart instead

Ah Leon

I wish I had never made you blue Sweetheart
I wish I could live it over now
I know now that I can’t live without you
Forgive me and I’ll make it up somehow

Forgive me for all the pain I’ve caused you
Forgive me for unkind words I’ve said
I thought once that I could live without you
I’m paying with a broken heart instead

The Grand Tour
Composer(s): George Richey - Carmol Taylor - Norro Wilson
First release by: George Jones - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Step right up, come on in
if you'd like to take the grand tour
of the lonely house that once was home sweet home

I have nothing here to sell you
just some things that I will tell you
some things I know will chill you to the bone 

Over there, sits the chair
where she'd bring the paper to me 
and sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh I love you" 

But now she's gone forever
and this old house will never be the same
without the love which we once knew 

Straight ahead, that's the bed 
where we lay in love together
and lord knows we had a good thing goin' here 

See her picture on the table
don't it look like she'd be able
just to touch me and say, "Good mornin' dear" 

There's her rings, all her things
and her clothes are in the closet
like she left them when she tore my world apart 

As you'll leave you'll see the nursery
Lord she left me without mercy
taking nothing, but our baby and my heart

Step right up
Come on in...
