Je T'aime ((English & Italian Versions: The "I Love You" Song (Charles Aznavour); Ti Amo (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): G. Bontempelli - Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Je t'aime C'est à la fois bête et banal Ça tient du roman du journal Qu'on achète par habitude C'est à la fois peu et beaucoup - Je t'aime - et ça tient pas le coup C'est désarmant de platitude Ça crève de banalité J'aurais pu dire: "Ma beauté" Voici des feuilles et des branches Quelqu'un d'autre l'a déjà dit Je dis: "Je t'aime" vendredi Et le répète le dimanche
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Je t'aime Comme un prestidigitateur Qui ne sortirait que l'as de coeur Je dis: "Je t'aime" et puis je flanche Je reste en rade et voilà tout - Je t'aime - et c'est mon seul atout Et je n'ai plus rien dans la manche Ça devrait être suffisant - Je t'aime - mais en le disant On sent qu'il faudrait autre chose Je t'aime ça se joue placé Et quand Larousse l'a classé C'était pas dans les pages roses
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Je t'aime J'ai fouillé les anthologies Et chaque soir à la bougie Entre Hugo et Apollinaire Je cherche les combinaisons Pour inventer dans ma chanson Un "Je t'aime" extraordinaire Mais y a des imaginatifs Qui tirent les mots par les tifs Et pillent le vocabulaire Il ne me reste qu'un chétif "Je t'aime" et c'est définitif Y a plus rien dans mon dictionnaire
On a beau faire tant et plus On n'a rien fait de plus cucul Et le monde tourne quand même Tant pis, là je m'avoue vaincu Maintenant que tout est foutu Me reste qu'à dire : "Je t'aime"
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime Je t'aime Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime Je t'aime
C'était Une Histoire D'amour
Composer(s): Henri Contet - Jean Jal
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Claude Normand
J'ai connu des jours magnifiques L'amour était mon serviteur La vie chantait comme un' musique Et elle m'offrait des tas d'bonheurs Mais j'en achetais sans compter J'avais mon cur à dépenser
C'était un histoire d'amour C'était comme un beau jour de fête Plein de soleil et de guinguettes Où le printemps m'faisait la cour Mais quand le histoir's sont trop jolies Ça ne peut pas durer toujours C'était une histoire d'amour Ma part de joie, ma part de rêve Il a bien fallu qu'ell' s'achève Pour me faire un chagrin d'amour
Et tant pis si mes nuits sont blanches Tant pis pour moi si j'pleur' tout l'temps C'est le chagrin qui prend sa r'vanche Y a qu'le chagrin qui est content Vraiment, il y a de quoi rire J'ai l'impression d'vouloir mourir
C'était un histoire d'amour C'était comme un beau jour de fête Plein de soleil et de guinguettes Où le printemps m'faisait la cour Mais quand les histoir's son trop jolies Ça ne peut pas durer toujours.. C'était une histoire d'amour Dont rien désormais ne demeure Il faut toujours que quelqu'un pleure Pour faire une histoire d'amour
French Joana French/Spanish Title: Joana Francesa Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
You laugh, you lie too much You cry, you die too much You have the tropics in your blood and on your skin Moan from madness and torpor It is already dawn, alright, alright, alright
Make me die of laughter Talk to me of love Dreams and lies, I know them both by heart Moan from pleasure and dread It is already dawn, awaken, awaken, awaken
Come, cry on my shoulder, I want to comfort you Come, tender mulatto, dance in my arms Come, child and tell me where your sun and coal are
Who cast a spell on me? The sea, tide and boat You carry the scent of cachaça and sweat Moan from laziness and heat It is already dawn, alright, alright, alright Awaken, awaken, awaken Alright, alright, alright

In a town in Sweden by a stream so clear and cool There sat a boy just a fishin' and a dreamin' when he should have been in school Now, he couldn't read or write a single Swedish word but happiness he found In a little Swedish song he heard here's the way he made it sound
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, add a little brawla, brawla too it Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, add a little brawla sooit Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, add a little brawla, brawla too it Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, add a little brawla sooit
Now the girl played hooky from school that day, came down to the stream She sat down beside the little Swedish boy and they began to dream

Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, and a brawla, brawla sooit Hut-Sut Rawlson on the Rillerah, and a brawla sooit
Now the boy and girl are back in school, shattered is their dream The teacher planted poison oak all along the stream
It's a crazy kind of a song to belong to a boy and girl In love with a beautiful dream But they love to sing, swing all the live long day Shood to soon shahoon la shoon da shoo shooga shoogan on the Rillerah
C'était Un Peu Leste
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Et quand elle eut fini de coudre le linceul
Et de faire la sieste
La veuve a décidé de ne pas rester seule
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini de couver ce dessein
Elle mit sa veste
Et vint frapper chez moi, son plus proche voisin
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini la dernière bouchée
D'un repas modeste
Ell' dit: "Il se fait tard, c'est l'heur' de se coucher"
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini de bassiner le lit
Alea jacta est(e)
Dans ses bras accueillants, j'étais enseveli
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini d' me presser sur son cur
De leurs voix célestes
Les anges d'alentour soupiraient tous en chur
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini d' reprendre ses esprits
Elle manifeste
La fâcheuse intention de m'avoir pour mari
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle eut fini de tenir ces propos
Tonnerre de Brest(e)!
Je la flanquai dehors avec ses oripeaux
C'était un peu leste.
Et quand elle eut fini de dévaler l' perron
Et dit: "J' te déteste"
Elle se pendit au cou d'un troisième larron
C'était un peu leste
Et quand elle fut sortie de mon champ visuel
Parfumés d'un zeste
Je bus cinq à six coups, l'antidote usuel
C'était un peu leste
Et quand j'eus bien cuvé mon vin, je me suis dit
Regrettant mon geste
Que j'avais peut-être pas été des plus gentils
C'était un peu leste
Et quand ell' m'entendit fair' mon mea culpa
La petite peste
Me fit alors savoir qu'ell' ne m'en voulait pas
C'était un peu leste
Et quand à l'avenir ell' tomb'ra veuve encor
Son penchant funeste
Qu'elle vienne frapper chez moi dès la levée du corps
Sans d'mander son reste!
French Heels Composer(s): Evans; Livingston Performer(s): Debbie Reynolds
(Doo-doo-wah, aah, doo-doo-wah, aah)
All day long in my sloppy jeans I just walk like a putz But at night I put my French heels on And a teenage girl grows up
(Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah)
All day long I let my shirt tail hang As I go 'round about But at night I put my French heels on And a teenage girl steps out
(Oh, what a to do, oh, what a to do)
Hot rod cars and trips to the shore Are marvellous, I suppose But these years would be such a bore Without a chance to pose in dress-up clothes
Growin' up takes a lot of time And I can't wait for the fun So at night I put my French heels on And I pretend I'm twenty-one
(Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah) (French, French heels) (I said French, french heels) (I said French, French heels) What'd he say?, what'd he say? (I said Wow!) Y-e-e-e-h! (Oh, what a to do, oh, what a to do)
Hot rod cars and trips to the shore Are marvellous, I suppose But these years would be such a bore Without a chance to pose in dress-up clothes
Growin' up takes a lot of time And I can't wait for the fun So at night I put my French heels on And I pretend, pretend, pretend I'm twenty-one
The Huron Indian Carol (aka 'Twas In The Moon Of Winter Time; Jesuous Ahatonhia) Composer(s): Jean de Brebeuf - Jesse Edgar Middleton
'Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead Before their light the stars grew dim and wondering hunters heard the hymn Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria
Within a lodge of broken bark the tender babe was found A ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapped his beauty round But as the hunter braves drew nigh the angel song rang loud and high Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria
The earliest moon of wintertime is not so round and fair As was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria
O children of the forest free, O seed of Manitou The holy Child of earth and heaven is born today for you Come kneel before the radiant boy who brings you beauty peace and joy Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria
'Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead Before their light the stars grew dim and wondering hunters heard the hymn Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria

The Hunting Song Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, maybe a large flesh-colored squirrel At any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new trend in the field of blood sports and deserves a new type of hunting song which I present herewith
I always will remember 'Twas a year ago November I went out to hunt some deer On a mornin' bright and clear I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow
I was in no mood to trifle I took down my trusty rifle And went out to stalk my prey What a haul I made that day I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow
The law was very firm, it Took away my permit The worst punishment I ever endured It turned out there was a reason Cows were out of season And one of the hunters wasn't insured
People ask me how I do it And I say, "There's nothin' to it You just stand there lookin' cute And when something moves, you shoot!" And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow
C'était Toi (You Were The One) Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel
Here I am again In this smoky place With my brandy eyes I'm talking to myself You were the one You were the one
Here I go again Looking for your face And I realize That I should look for someone else But you were the one You were the one
I'm looking for comfort That I can take From someone else But after all I know there is no one That can save me from myself You were the only one
Me revoici Dans ce bar enfume Avec mes yeux iures Je me parle a moi meme C'etait toi C'etait toi
Me revoici Cherchant ton visage Et je realise Que je devrais en chercher une autre C'etait toi You were the one
Je recherche l'affection Qu'une autre pourrait me donner Mais apres tout Je sais qu'il n'y a personne Personne qui puisse me sauver Tu etais la seule
I'm looking for comfort That I can take From someone else But after al I know there is no one That can save me, save me from myself You were the only one
Freight Train Blues
Composer(s): Mississippi Fred McDowell
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack Just a little shanty by the railroad track Freight train was it taught me how to cry The holler of the driver was my lullaby I've got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama got em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Baby don't you know It looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama hear She was the only daughter of the engineer My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke Its a shame the way she keeps a good man broke I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy I got em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Oh mama don't you know Well it looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues
Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train Every place I want to go I never can go because you know Because I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama, got em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
As I did travel all on a journey Over the wayside and under a dark moon Hanging above a mountain
I spied a young man riding a fine horse Chasing a white hart and all through the woodland Head of a hunting party
And there followed after ten kings and queens Laughing and joking, the white hart they'd seen Bloodied running into the bushes
I plume to his helmet, a quiver and a bow There's nowhere to run now, there's no place to go The hunt is cast and ready
Still farther I journeyed through the hills and the valleys Until upon the verge of despair I sat and rested And there did pass a princely knight poursuite by a lady And this she did say
"Oh may I ask you kind sir where you are going? And pray tell unto me sir why you do hurry Strange that I should meet you here, come sit by me
"I have here a magic horn to deliver And one drop from this silver and gold horn I hold, sir Shall prove all to be false, lovers beware!"
"The gift that you bear for your brother the king I gladly would carry to the banquet this even' What fair sport this would be for the maidens at court"
Wearily I crossed the stream to the castle Where I found shelter from the cold wintry wind And food did I have and plenty But the Lord and Lady seemed so sad For these words they did say unto each other
"My good lord, all off to war in thy armor Leaving me here alone to weep and to worry Take care lest misadventure Shall overcome thy kindly heart My good lord, all off to war in thy armor"
"My lady, you have no need for to worry I'll return victorious and true unto thee Take care, lest misadventure Shall stain your heart and lead to woe My fair lady you have no need for to worry"
... la la la...
While underneath the spreading oak a knight with white device Upon a shield of black, and deep in grief and sorrow sings His unrequited love
"Young noblewoman riding by, pray tell me have you seen Queen Azelda the fairest maid, in company she rides For I swear to have revenge"
A thousand days have come and passed, the Lord returns this night The victor from the bloody wars proven his fearsome might As ever he would claim
But fate has played its wanton game, the circle come full turn The magic horn has done its work, cried "Falseness is found out!" The sorrowed quest is over
C'était Pas Moi
Composer(s): Robert Gall - Francis Laï
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Dans sa prison, il a pleuré S'est révolté, s'est résigné Et d'une voix désespérée Il ne cessait de répéter
"C'était pas moi qui, ce jour-là, passait par là C'était pas moi! C'était pas moi qui avais fait ça, cette histoire-là Ce n'est pas moi!
Mais je n'ai pas su m'expliquer Cet homme trouvé dans le fossé J'ai beau crier mon innocence Dans ma prison J'ai beau crier dans le silence Non, non, et non!
Je reste là depuis des mois Et j'attends là ce qu'on fera de moi...
Oui, je l'aimais Cette femme pour qui On a trouvé Cet homme tué... Oui, je l'aimais J'en étais fou Et très jaloux Mais c'est pas vrai!...
Coïncidence? Manque de chance? C'était pas moi! C'était pas moi!
J'ai beau crier dans le silence De ma prison J'ais beau crier mon innocence Non, non, et non!
Je reste là depuis des mois Et j'attends là ce qu'on fera de moi...
Et face au ciel Mon seul témoin Tendant les mains Je veux crier Ce n'est pas moi! Ce n'est pas moi! Ce n'est pas moi! Ce n'est pas moi!"
Freight Train Composer(s): Libba Cotten Performer(s): Chas McDevitt; and various other artists
Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone.
Freight train, freight train, going round the bend Freight train, freight train, gone again One of these days turn that train around Go back to my home town
Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone
One more place I'd like to be One more place I'd love to see To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountain climb While I ride old Number Nine
Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone
When I die please bury me deep Down at the end of Chestnut Street So I can hear old Number Nine As she goes rolling by
Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone
When I'm dead and in my grave No more good times here I'll crave Place the stones at my head and feet And tell them I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, going so fast Freight train, freight train, going so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone
Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone
The Hunters Of Kentucky Composer(s): Samuel Woodworth Performer(s): Noah M. Ludlow
Ye gentlemen and ladies fair Who grace this famous city Just listen if you've time to spare While I rehearse a ditty And for the opportunity Conceive yourself quite lucky For 'tis not often here you see A hunter from Kentucky
Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky
You've heard, I s'pose, how New Orleans Is famed for wealth and beauty There's girls of ev'ry hue it seems From snowy white to sooty So Pakenham he made his brags If he in fight was lucky He'd have their girls and cotton bags In spite of old Kentucky
Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky
But Jackson, he was wide awake And was not scared of trifles For well he knew what aim we take With our Kentucky rifles He led us down to Cypress Swamp The ground was low and mucky There stood John Bull in pomp And here was old Kentucky
Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky
A bank was rais'd to hide our breast Not that we thought of dying But the we always like to rest Unless the game is flying Behind it stood our little force None wished it to be greater For ev'ry man was half a horse And half an alligator
Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky
They found, at last, 'twas vain to fight Where lead was all the booty And so they wisely took to flight And left us all our beauty And now, if danger e'er annoys Remember what our trade is Just send for us Kentucky boys And we'll protect ye, ladies
Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky Oh, Kentucky The hunters of Kentucky
C'était Pas La Peine
Composer(s): Michel Jourdan - Noam Kaniel
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
C'était pas la peine, c'était pas la peine de m'envoyer jour après jour des roses avec des mots d'amour C"était pas la peine, c'était pas la peine de me faire cette mise en scène et de me dire: "je t'aime.. Je t'aime"
Fallait pas tu sais te croire obligé de me jurer, des larmes aux yeux que ta lumière c'était nous deux Je serais tombée de moins haut, tu sais aujourd'hui nous serions quittes en nous souhaitant "bonne chance" pour la suite...
Y fallait pas m'entraîner si loin que ça j'ai marché, tu vois j'ai cru en ton cinéma Tu disais qu'toi et moi ça n'en finirait pas tu me serrais fort dans tes bras et tu n'as plus rien à me dire déjà
C'était pas la peine, c'était pas la peine de me donner tant d'illusion et même la clé de ta maison Tout ça n'a servi qu'à briser ma vie de nous deux, chez toi ne reste que nos prénoms sur une boîte aux lettres
Y fallait pas m'entraîner si loin que ça j'ai marché, tu vois j'ai cru en ton cinéma à ta mise en scène mes étoiles s'éteignent c'était pas la peine, c'était pas la peine de me dire je t'aime, c'était pas la peine
Freeze Frame Composer(s): Seth Justman; Peter Wolf Performer(s): J. Geils Band; and various other artists
I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday Slow-motion weekdays stare me down Her lipstick reflex got me wound There were no defects to be found Snapshot image froze without a sound Thursday morning was a hot flash-factor Her face still focused in my mind Test-strip proof-sheet love is hard to find Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine Chorus: Freeze-Frame! Freeze-Frame! Freeze-Frame! Freeze-Frame! Now Freeze! Now I'm lookin at a flashback Sunday Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear Her hot-spot love for me is strong This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong Chorus
C'était Mon Copain
Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Les Compagnons de la Chanson; Petits Chanteurs De Saint Laurent Orch.
J'avais un seul ami Et on me l'a tué Il était plus que lui Il était un peu moi Je crois qu'en le tuant On m'a aussi tué Et je pleure la nuit Mais on ne le sait pas
C'était mon copain C'était mon ami Pauvre vieux copain De mon humble pays Je revois son visage Au regard généreux Nous avions le même âge Et nous étions heureux
Ami, mon pauvre ami Reverrai-je jamais Ton sourire gentil Parmi l'immensité?
C'était mon copain C'était mon ami J'écoute la ballade De la Mort, de la Vie Le vent de la frontière Veut consoler mes pleurs Mais l'eau de la rivière A d'étranges couleurs
Cependant dans les bois Un mystérieux concert M'a dit qu'il faut garder L'espoir à tout jamais Car ceux qui ont bâti Ensemble un univers Se retrouveront tous Puisqu'ils l'ont mérité
O mon vieux camarade Mon copain, mon ami Parmi les terres froides Je te parle la nuit Et ton pesant silence Est un mal si cruel Que j'entends ta présence Parfois au fond du ciel
