The Name Of The Game
Composer(s): Stig Anderson - Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know...

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know...

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know...

What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know...
Oh yes I wanna know...

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot) 

Ci Vorrebbe Un Amico
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
First release by: Antonello Venditti - 1984



Stare insieme a te, è stata una partita
va bene hai vinto tu, e tutto il resto è vita
ma se penso che l'amore è darsi tutto nel profondo
in questa nostra storia sono io che vado a fondo

Ci vorrebbe un amico, per poterti dimenticare
ci vorrebbe un amico per dimenticare il mare
ci vorrebbe un amico
qui per sempre al mio fianco
ci vorrebbe un amico nel dolore e nel rimpianto

Amore, amore illogico, amore disperato
lo vedi sto piangendo, ma io ti ho perdonato
e se amor che nullo amato, amore, amore mio perdona
in questa notte fredda mi basta una parola

Vivere con te, è stata una partita
il gioco è stato duro comunque sia è finita
ma sarà la notte magica o forse l'emozione
io mi ritrovo solo davanti al tuo portone

Regarde-Moi Toujours Comme Ça
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Il avait l'air de rien planté sur le trottoir
À toucher son chapeau en me disant bonsoir
Et sans plus séparé, m'a si bien regardée
Que je me suis sentie comme un peu caressée
Et beaucoup désirée
Regarde-moi toujours comme ça
J'en suis malade, un cœur qui bat
Ça m'fait pareil j'sais pas pourquoi
Que la musique de l'Ave Maria
T'as des yeux sans manières
Et qui r'gardent tout haut
T'as gardé les paupières
Et j'comprends qu'tu es beau
Quand j'suis noyée dans ces yeux là
Toi qui m'repêche entre tes bras
Pour me faire dire tout bas très bas
Regarde-moi toujours comme ça

Y a des soirs pleins d'amour
Et pas faits pour dormir
Alors tes yeux commandent
Et j'aime leur obéir
Sous ton chaud regard bleu
J'suis toute ensoleillée
T'as des façons à toi d'éclairer nos veillées
Ah qu'il est émerveillé

Regarde-moi toujours comme ça
J'en suis malade un cœur qui bat
Ça m'fait pareil j'sais pas pourquoi
Que la musique de l'Ave Maria
T'as des yeux sans manières
Et qui r'gardent tout haut
T'as gardé les paupières
Et j'comprends qu'tu es beau
Quand j'suis noyée dans ces yeux là
Toi qui m'repêche entre tes bras
Pour me faire dire tout bas très bas
Regarde-moi toujours comme ça

Regarde-moi toujours comme ça
Aussi longtemps que tu l'pourras
Et tant que notre amour vivra
Regarde-moi toujours, toujours, toujours comme ça

Ci Sono Fiori
((Adapted from: Summer Wine (Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood) - 1966))
((French Version: Le Vin De L'été (Marie Laforêt & Gérard Klein) - 1969))
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood - Claudio Mattone
Performer(s): Dalida - 1969



Ci sono fiori che non s'apriranno mai 
Ci sopo amori che non nasceranno mai 

Ero bambina e già segnavo accanto a me 
Due occhi grandi come quelli che tu hai 
Ed una voce che discesse amore moi 
Finchè avro vita sai t'amero 
Oh t'amero 

Per quanto tempo t'ho cercato non lo so 
T'immaginavo cosi proprio come sei 
E adesso che sei qui 
Tu non mi dici mai 
Finchè avro vita sai t'amero 
Oh t'amero 

Ci sono fiori che non s'apriranno mai 
Ci sono amori che non nasceranno mai 
E' meglio andare via e non pensare che 
Un vuoto resterà dentre di me 
Oh dentro me 

Una speranza in fondo al mare se ne va 
Ma già domani un'altra vita nascerà 
Sotto la cenere di un fuoco che 
Non è durato molto, no, fra di noi 
Oh fra di noi 

Ci sono fiori che non s'apriranno mai 
Ci sono amori che non nasceranno mai 
E' meglio andare via e non pensare che 
Un vuoto resterà dentro di me 
Oh dentro me

Regarde Bien Petit
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel; Gabriel Yacoub



Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien
Sur la plaine là-bas
À hauteur des roseaux
Entre ciel et moulins
Y a un homme qui vient
Que je ne connais pas
Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien

Est-ce un lointain voisin
Un voyageur perdu
Un revenant de guerre
Un montreur de dentelles
Est-ce un abbé porteur
De ces fausses nouvelles
Qui aident à vieillir
Est-ce mon frère qui vient
Nous dire qu'il est temps
De moins nous haïr
Ou n'est-ce que le vent
Qui gonfle un peu le sable
Et forme des mirages
Pour nous passer le temps

Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien
Sur la plaine là-bas
À hauteur des roseaux
Entre ciel et moulins
Y a un homme qui vient
Que je ne connais pas
Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien

Ce n'est pas un voisin
Son cheval est trop fier
Pour être de ce coin
Pour revenir de guerre
Ce n'est pas un abbé
Son cheval est trop pauvre
Pour être paroissien
Ce n'est pas un marchand
Son cheval est trop clair
Son habit est trop blanc
Et aucun voyageur
N'a plus passé le pont
Depuis la mort du père
Ni ne sait nos prénoms

Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien
Sur la plaine là-bas
À hauteur des roseaux
Entre ciel et moulins
Y a un homme qui vient
Que je ne connais pas
Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien

Non ce n'est pas mon frère
Son cheval aurait henni
Non ce n'est pas mon frère
Il ne l'oserait plus
Il n'est plus rien ici
Qui puisse le servir
Non ce n'est pas mon frère
Mon frère a pu mourir
Cette ombre de midi
Aurait plus de tourments
S'il s'agissait de lui

Allons c'est bien le vent
Qui gonfle un peu le sable
Pour nous passer le temps

Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien
Sur la plaine là-bas
À hauteur des roseaux
Entre ciel et moulins
Y a un homme qui part
Que nous ne saurons pas
Regarde bien petit
Regarde bien

Il faut sécher tes larmes
Il y a un homme qui part
Que nous ne saurons pas
Tu peux ranger les armes

The Mystery
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison



Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
You've got to open up your heart
That's all I know
Trust what I say and do what you're told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn 
Into gold

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
And when you open up your heart
You get everything you need
Baby there's a way and a mystic road
You've got to have some faith
To carry on

You've got to open up your heart
To the Son
You know he's looking out for you
'Cause he's the one

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
There is no other place to be
Baby this I know
You've got to dance and sing
And be alive in the mystery
And be joyous and give thanks
And let yourself go

I saw the light of ancient Greece
Towards the One
I saw us standing within reach
Of the Son
Let go into the mystery of life
Let go into the mystery
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go

You've got to open up your arms
To the Son
You know you've got so many charms
It's just begun
Trust what I say and do
What you're told
And surely all your dirt will turn into gold

Ci Si Risveglierà
((French Version: On Se Réveillera (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Georges Garvarentz - Charles Aznavour - Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Ci si risveglierà
E il giorno sembrerà
Più chiaro accanto a te
Nella mia nuova vita
Ci si risveglierà
Ci si risveglierà
E gli occhi tu aprirai
Sul mondo che tu qui
Avevi immaginato
Ci si risveglierà
E ci sorprenderà
E seria ancora noi
Con una sola vita
Ci si risveglierà
Come un bambino che
Si affaccia sulla vita
E ci si spoglierà
Del tempo corso via
Degli spersi in cui
Io non ti avevo avuto
Ci si risveglierà
E finirà la lunga notte
Che avremmo attraersato
Ci si risveglierà
Guardando in fondo a me
Rimpianto non avrò
Perché domani so
Che mi risveglierò, con te

Regard Impressionniste
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Il y avait au jardin des bouquets de lumière
Le soleil traversait les couleurs du sous-bois
Au bord du bel étang un pêcher solitaire
S'endormait doucement, sa canne entre les bras

C'était un jour d'été, léger comme un dimanche
L'air était transparent sous le feuillage clair
Le bonheur était là, paisible, entre les branches
Et les reflets mouvants des arbres et des fougères

Le soleil inondait le bord de la rivière
Des couples enlacés dansaient sur le ponton
Près des tables encombrées de bouteilles et de verres
Des guirlandes accrochées croulaient sous les balcons

Une femme debout regardait quelque chose
Une lueur magique au fond de son regard
Son bras disparaissait sous un bouquet de roses
Elle était appuyée sur un divan bizarre

C'était au Grand Palais, sur des toiles de maîtres
Il y avait un Monet et deux ou trois Renoir
Le cœur dans les tableaux je me sentais renaître
Et en fermant les yeux je pourrais les revoir

Le monde a la beauté du regard qu'on y pose
Le jardin de Monet, le soleil de Renoir
Ne sont que le reflet de leur vision des choses
Dont chacun d'entre nous peut être le miroir

La vie nous peint les jours au hasard du voyage
En amour en douleur ou en mélancolie
C'est un peu de ce temps qu'on laisse en héritage
Enrichi du regard qu'on a posé sur lui

The Musketeers
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Harry Ruby
Performer(s): The Marx Brothers



Unless we tell you who we are, you'll never guess
We're not Napoleon or da Vinci
A lot of people think we are, but none the less
We're not Napoleon or da Vinci
We're not even Washington or Lincoln
Jefferson or Alexander Carr
You'd be wrong whoever you begin on
So we'll let you in on who we are
So stand by, unseen listeners

We're four of the three musketeers
We've been together for years
Eenie, meenie, minee (car horn)
Four of the three musketeers
We live by the sword, by the sea, by the way
And we fight day and night
And we sleep night and day
My country 'tis of thee
Land of the light wines and beers
We're cheered from Cologne to Algiers
Each time our motto appears
It's one for all and two for five
We're four of the three musketeers

When the Queen needs recreation
And she strolls along the path
Where are we?
Right by her side

When she's filled with jubilation
Or consumed with raging wrath
Where are we?
Right by her side

We've sworn that we'd shield and protect her
We're her guardsmen, true and tried

When she gets up in the morning
And she slips into her bath
Where are we?
Far from the old folks at home

We're four of the three musketeers
We've been together for years
Athos, Pathos, Mathos (car horn)
Four of the three musketeers
We fight for the King, for the Queen, for the Jack
And we're first at the front
When the front's at the back
Three cheers for Richelieu
Here's how we give him the cheers
The foe trembles each time it hears
This motto ring in its ears
It's one for all and two for five
We're four of the three musketeers

Chuva, Suor E Cerveja

Não se perca de mim
Não se esqueça de mim
Não desapareça
A chuva tá caindo
E quando a chuva começa
Eu acabo de perder a cabeça

Não saia do meu lado
Segure o meu pierrô molhado
E vamos embora ladeira abaixo
acho
que a chuva ajuda a gente a se ver
venha
veja
deixa
beija
seja
o que Deus quiser

A gente se embala
se embora
se embola
Só pára na porta da igreja

A gente se olha
Se beija se molha
De chuva suor e cerveja

Regalo De Reyes
Composer(s): David Lama
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Ya va llegando diciembre y sus posadas
se va acercando ya también la Navidad
el año nuevo me traerá nuevas tristezas
y por tu ausencia lloraré mi soledad

Si tú te encuentras brindando en tu alegría
algún recuerdo de mi amor te llegará
tal vez evoques el calor de mis caricias
y con tu copa al terminar me olvidarás

Si con los meses y los años tú no vuelves
y si una gracia el cielo a mí me puede dar
le pediré como regalo un dia de Reyes
besar tus labios y estrecharte junto a mí

Y si cansada de la vida a mí regresas
y si el destino no te da felicidad
habrá una cruz en el final de tu camino
serán mis brazos que por ti esperando están

Si con los meses y los años tú no vuelves
y si una gracia el cielo a mí me puede dar
le pediré como regalo un dia de Reyes
besar tus labios y estrecharte junto a mí

Y si cansada de la vida a mí regresas
y si el destino no te da felicidad
habrá una cruz en el final de tu camino
serán mis brazos que por ti esperando están

The Music That Makes Me Dance
Composer(s): Bob Merrill - Jule Styne
First release by: Barbra Streisand - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I know you're around when the sky and the ground start in ringing
I know you're around by the thunder I hear in advance
Your words and your words alone are the words that start my heart singing
And yours is the only music that makes me dance

You'll sleep and you'll rise in the light of two eyes that adore you
Bore you it might, but you won't leave my sight or glance
In every way, every day, I need less of myself and need more you, more you
Yours is the only music that makes me dance

In every way, every day I need less of myself, and need more you, more you
Yours is the only music that makes me dance

Church In The Wildwood
Composer(s): Dr. William S. Pitts
Performer(s): Charley Pride
and multiple other artists



There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There, close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I loved so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There, close by the side of that loved one
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

No quiero que te vayas
la noche está muy fría
abrígame en tus brazos
hasta que vuelva el día

Tu almohada está impaciente
de acariciar tu cara
tal vez te dé un consejo
tal vez no diga nada

Mañana muy temprano platicarás conmigo
y si estás decidida a abandonar el nido
Entonces será en vano tratar de detenerte
regálame esta noche, retrásame la muerte

Mañana muy temprano platicarás conmigo
y si estás decidida a abandonar el nido
Entonces será en vano tratar de detenerte
regálame esta noche, retrásame la muerte

An angry silence stayed where love had been
And in your eyes a look I've never seen
If I had found the words you might have stayed
But as I turned to speak the music played

As lovers danced their way around the floor
I suddenly watched you walk forward the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you have to stay
And as you took his hand the music played

Across the darknessed room the fatal signs I saw
We'd been something more than friends before
Well, I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting and as I drove him to your side
I couldn't say the things I should have said
refused to let my heart control my head
But I was made to see the pride I paid
and as he held you close
The music played
And as I lost your love
the music played

Church In An Old Hawaiian Town
Composer(s): John Noble 
Performer(s): C.J. Helekahi



In a little village church 
In an old Hawaiian town 
That's when I met the girl of my dreams 

When the organ played a song 
And the choir sang along 
It was just like heaven to me 

And when the preacher said: Amen 
I took her by the arms and then 
Down the aisle we strolled together 

That's when I found my happiness 
With the girl that God had blessed 
In that church in an old Hawaiian town 
Yes, in that church, in an old Hawaiian town

Performer(s): Siouxsie and the Banshees



Coronets rest on a death's head mask
No-one is safe while the curfew lasts
But crusted orbs glitter, sceptres gleam
While helmets of blood fill the screen

They look away
and then they say
"For the good of the land
for the love of the man"
Standing alone sitting alone
on the throne of the regal zone

Old limbs hang in the torture room
While old kings hang in the portrait room
Their noble eyes gaze on the uneasy dance
of the squirming body on the marble plate

They look away
and then they say
"For the good of the land
for the love of the man"
Standing alone sitting alone
on the throne of the regal zone

Was ich dir sagen will, fällt mir so schwer
Das Blatt Papier vor mir bleibt weiß und leer
Ich find' die Worte nicht, doch glaube mir
Was ich dir sagen will, sagt mein Klavier

Was ich dir sagen will, wenn wir uns seh'n
Ich kann nur stumm an dir vorübergeh'n
Ich dreh' mich nach dir um und denke mir
Was ich dir sagen will, sagt mein Klavier

Was man nicht sagen kann, weil man allein nur fühlt
Wie eine Brandung, die den Fels umspült
Die dich erfaßt und mit sich in die Tiefe reißt
Ich kann es fühlen, doch nicht sagen, wie es heißt

Was ich dir sagen will, bist du bei mir
Ist so unsagbar viel, doch glaube mir
Wenn du mich nicht verstehst, versprech ich dir
Was ich dir sagen will, sagt mein Klavier

Was ich dir sagen will, sagt mein Klavier

Performer(s): Bob Welch



Welcome down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry

When you were young
You got down on your knees
You prayed for someone
Someone you could believe
Yeah, you put your faith
Right in his hands
Oh, when he let go
You couldn´t understand

Welcome down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry

Fallen angel, temptation had you lost
Single girl, you´ve been double-crossed
Hold on holy one, some day you´ll be saved
And I want to be the one
On that blessed day
When you come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
Fly down from your perch
And walk with a man
Who knows how to love you
Yes, I believe I can
I know why you cry
