Pas Cette Chanson ((Adapted from: Don't Play That Song (Ben E. King) - 1962)) ((Italian Version: Tu Vedrai (Ricky Gianco) - 1962)) Composer(s): Ahmet Ertegun - Betty Nelson - Ralph Bernet Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1962
Pas cette chanson Pas cette chanson Pas cette chanson Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non
Ne joue pas cet air là Qui me rappelle autrefois Oublie le s'il le faut Ne touche pas à ce piano
Oh, non, ne le joue pas Mon coeur n'y tiendrait pas De l'entendre, je le sais Je me souviendrais qu'elle disait Disait
Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Tu mens, oui, oui, oui
Et plus d'un violon pleurait Dans l'ombre où nos coeurs se parlaient Notre amour était si grand Que tout le ciel tenait dedans Et depuis Si quelqu'un fredonne Mon coeur s'abandonne J'entends jouer des violons J'entends sa chanson et sa voix qui disait Disait
Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Toi, que j'aime Mais tu sais que tu mens Tu mens, oui, oui, oui

Where's my sweetie hiding?
Gee, but I'd like to know Wonder what made her go?

Where, where, where's my sweetie hiding? Wonder if she'll come back to me?

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Composer(s): Mel Tillis Performer(s): Mel Tillis; and various other artists
You've painted up your lips And rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating Going out somewhere The shadow on the wall Tells me the sun is going down Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me That started that old crazy Asian war But I was proud to go And do my patriotic chore And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be Oh, Ruby I still need some company
It's hard to love a man Whose legs are bent and paralysed And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize, But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door The way I know I've heard it Some 100 times before And if I could move I'd get my gun And put her in the ground Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town

I love you, there's nothing to hide It's better than burning inside I love you, no use to pretend There! I've said it again
I've said it, what more can I say Believe me, there's no other way I love you, I will to the end There! I've said it again
I try to drum up A phrase that will sum up All that I feel for you But what good are phrases The thought that amazes Is that you love me And it's heavenly
Forgive me for wanting you so But one thing I want you to know I've loved you since heaven knows when There! I've said it again
Cook's Country
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who
People are suffering I'll say it again People are suffering I'll say it again People are suffering I'll say it again So remember when you're looking for trouble That trouble is already busy with weaker men
People are hungry I'll say it again People are hungry I'll say it again People are hungry I'll say it again So don't you abuse that body It'll snap without assistance my friends
The song goes on I'll sing again until the music enervates The song goes on The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away The song goes on Through centuries of history it reverberates The song goes on On curving comets track the music makes it way This song is so long It ends up where it begins
People are lonely I'll say it again People are lonely I'll say it again People are lonely I'll say it again So don't let them run too far from home You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend
People are bleeding I'll say it again People are bleeding I'll say it again People are bleeding I'll say it again So put away that switchblade knife Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end
The song goes on - the song goes on This song Is so long It ends up where it begins
People are suffering I'll say it again and again People are hungry I'll say it again and again People are lonely I'll say it again and again
Ruby Tuesday Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones; and various other artists
She would never say where she came from Yesterady don't matter if it's gone While the sun is bright Or in the darkest night No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free She'll tell you it's the only way to be She just can't be chained To a life where nothing's gained And nothing's lost, at such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say Catch your dreams before they slip away Dying all the time Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind Ain't life unkind?
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't think of the love we had Til you turned bad And broke my loving heart And when your heart is breaking And you need some loving from me There won't be anymore There won't be anymore

This is our last dance together Tonight soon will be long ago And in our moment of parting This is all I want you to know
There will be many other nights like this And I'll be standing here with someone new There will be other songs to sing Another fall, another spring But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss But they won't thrill me like yours used to do Yes, I may dream a million dreams But how can they come true If there will never ever be another you
Convite Composer(s): Guillermo De Anda Performer(s): Javier Solís
Señalándome la gente ya no puedo vivir más les dirás que todos mienten que te adoro locamente que no dicen la verdad
Si tú sabes que te quiero que por ti mil veces muero tienes que acallar las cosas que andan ya de boca en boca repartiendo su veneno
En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar
En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar

Rubis, comme je t'aime Le feu est dans la plaine, le rhum dans ma main Rubis, vois, comme je t'aime Le feu est dans la plaine, ta bague dans ma main

There Used To Be A Ball Park Composer(s): Joe Raposo Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
And there used to be a ball park Where the field was warm and green And the people played their crazy game With a joy I'd never seen And the air was such a wonder From the hot dogs and the beer Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here
And there used to be rock candy And a great big Fourth of July With the fireworks exploding All across the summer sky And the people watched in wonder How they laughed and how they'd cheer And there used to be a ball park... right here
Now the children try to find it And they can't believe their eyes 'Cause the old team just isn't playing And the new team hardly tries And the sky has got so cloudy When it used to be so clear And the summer went so quickly... this year
Conversation With The Devil Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
I had a dream last night I was cast into Hell by a jealous God The Devil walked up and said you don't need no lightning rod It hardly ever rains down here I can't recall the last storm You aint gonna need that leather jacket it gets kinda warm There's one way in there's no way out looks like you're to stay The place is a mess, it's overcrowded, more are coming in everyday
I said ah man, wait a minute there's gotta be something wrong I aint a bad guy just write these little songs I always pay my union dues don't stay in the passing lane And he said what about all that whiskey and the cocaine I said well yeah but that's no reason to throw me in Hell 'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just liked the way it smelled
He said come on over here son, let me show you around Over there's where we put the preachers, I never liked those clowns They're always blaming me for everything wrong under the sun It aint harder to what's right, it's just maybe not as much fun Then the walk around thinking they're better than me and you Then they get caught in a motel room doing what they said not to do
Now the murderers and the rapists they go in this firey lake As well as most of the politician and the cops on the take And all the mothers that wait to get to KMart to spank their kids Instead of showing what to do what's right, they just hit 'em for what they did And all the daddy's who run off and abandon their daughters and sons Oh anybody that hurts a child is gonna burn until it's done
Everybody is down here I said who's up in Heaven with God and the Son Oh some saints and mystics and students of metaphysics 101 People who care and share and love and try to do what's right Beautiful old souls who read a little stories to their babies every night What you wont find up in Heaven are Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives Country program directors and Nashville record executives
Now I said I've made some mistakes, but I'm not as bad as those guys How can God to this to me or can't she sympathize He said you're wrong about God being cruel and mean Oh God is the most loving thing that's never been seen I said hotshot tell me this which religion is the truest He said there all about the same, Budda was not a Christian, but Jesus woulda made a good buddist
Well I thought about my future I didn't seem to have much of one I looked around to leave but there was no place to run I said I don't suppose I could go back and try living again You know like reincarnation I hear that's the way it's always been I can't answer that he said you're gonna have to wait for that response But it's not any more unusual to be born twice than it is to be born once
Well it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell I thought I might as well suck up you know what the hell I said you know that soung that Charlie Daniels did About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid He said yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do I said to tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two
Well then I woke up and I was lying in my bed I went upstairs and kissed my little boy on his sleeping head I took this dream as a sign from God so I thought I'd better pray I said don't ever speak to me directly and thanks anyway Now so much has changed about me besides me just giving up red meat Some get spiritual cause they see the light and some cause they feel the heat
Rubias De New York Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; and various other artists
Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, rubias de New York cabecitas adoradas que vierten amor dan envidia a las estrellas, yo no se vivir sin ellas Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, de labios en flor Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie es como el cantar de un manantial turba mi soñar el dulce hechizo de Peggy su mirar azul, hondo como el mar Deliciosas criaturas perfumadas quiero el beso de sus boquitas pintadas son ágiles muñecas del olvido y del placer rien su alegria como un cascabel
Rubio cóctel que emborracha, así es Mary su melena que es de plata, quiero para mí si el amor que me ogrecía, solo dura un breve día tiene el fuego de una brasa, tu pasión, Peggy
Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie es como el cantar ...

Amore, se tu puoi Non mi scordare mai Non mi scordare mai Non mi scordare mai
Amore, se tu puoi Non mi scordare mai Non mi scordare mai Non mi scordare mai
Conversations With Death (aka "Death And A Lady: Echoes Of A Mortal Conversation" or "Oh Death") (Traditional) Performer(s): Dock Boggs and multiple other artists
What is this that I can see With icy hands taking hold on me I am death and none can excel I'll open the doors to heaven or hell
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year? Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
Oh, death, someone would pray Couldnt you call some other day God's children prayed The preacher's preached The time of mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk Close your eyes so you can 't see This very hour come go with me
Death, I come to take the soul Leave the body and leave it cold To drop the flesh oft of the frame The earth and worms both have a claim
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year? Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
My mother come to my bed Place a cold towel upon my head My head is warm, my feet is cold Death is moving upon my soul
Oh, death, how you treating me Close my eyes so I can't see You hurt my body You make me cold You're ruling my life right out of my soul
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year? Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
Oh, death, please consider my age Please don't take me at this stage My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hand
The old, the young, the rich or poor Are all alike with me, you know No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year? Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year
