I Don't Wanna Live Without You Composer(s): Jackie Lomax Performer(s): Jackie Lomax
I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna live without you But I can't live with your ways I begin to doubt you In all those subtle ways
I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna tell you your business But something's seriously wrong There's no love lost between us Just can't go on for long
I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to doubt you But I don't wanna live without, without you
I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna live with you this way But I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna live in this vacuum There's no space, and no breathable air I've sung the end of that tune I know we ain't goin' nowhere
I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to I don't wanna live without you I don't wanna have to doubt you I don't wanna live without, without you
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la terre est légère et mon corps aussi, Dieu merci! J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la route est légère et mon pied aussi, Dieu merci! Je n'ai rien demandé à la terre et rien aux buissons Elle m'a donné ses fruits, ses sources et sa chanson J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma poche est légère et ma bouche aussi, Dieu merci! J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma bouche est légère et mon ventre aussi, Dieu merci! Je n'ai demandé rien à l'aubergiste, à l'épicier Le sel et le pain me sont offerts par ton amitié J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma femme est légère et mon cur aussi, Dieu merci! J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, sa robe est légère et sa jambe aussi, Dieu merci! Je n'ai demandé rien d'éternel à mon jeune amour et c'est bien pour ça peut-être qu'il durera toujours J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma joie est légère et ma peine aussi, Dieu merci! J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma nuit est légère et mon rêve aussi, Dieu merci! Je n'ai demandé rien à l'étoile du firmament mais de temps en temps Dieu m'interpelle amicalement J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci! J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci!

To the ends of the earth Ill follow my star To the ends of the earth just to be where you are No matter where you roam Ill never be far behind Who cares where the path may wind As long as I find you Though the melody dies, the song lingers on And a thousand goodbyes wont convince me youre gone Ill follow you, my love, youll never be free To the ends of the earth till youve given your love to me
I Don't Wanna Grow Up Italian Title: Non Voglio Crescere Più - 1994 Composer(s): Kathleen Brennan; Tom Waits First release by: Tom Waits - 1992 Covered by multiple other artists
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up Nothing ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things Makes wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up Seems that folks turn into things that they never want The only thing to live for is today... I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount I don't wanna grow up Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinkin all night I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street When I see the 5 oclock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float on a broom Fall in love, get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up
Jericho Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell; K.D. Lang
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
That's a promise that I made to love When it was new "just like jericho" I said "let these wall come tumbling down" I said it like I finally found the way To keep the good feelings alive I said it like it was something to strive for
I'll try to keep myself open up to you And approve your self expression I need that, too I need your confidence, baby And the gift of your extra time In turn I'll give you mine Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange It seems to me It's a warm arrangement!
Anyone will tell you Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend Maybe they'll short sell you Or maybe it's you Judas, in the end When you just can no longer pretend That you're getting what you need Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on
I'll try to keep myself open up to you It gets easier and easier to do Just like jericho Let these walls come tumbling down now Let them fall right on the ground Let all these dogs go running free The wild and the gentle dogs Kenneled in me

Vasten auringon siltaa säteet myöhäiseen iltaan sinut vierelleni tuon ja sulle hellyyteni suon jäisit siihen ystäväin, jäisit siihen ystäväin
En kasvoja tunne en nimeä kuule en sanaakaan sano kun etsin sua itseäni vasten niin nosuemme laivaan ohi meren ja taivaan sä heräisit siinä mä oisin ja sanoisin kulta, kulta, kulta, kulta
Niin paljon mä tunnen sinut syliini suljen onko kaikki mitä sanoa voin mä olen vain sun

Non Voglio Crescere Più Adapted from: I Don't Wanna Grow Up - 1992 Composer(s): Enrico Ruggeri; Tom Waits; Kathleen Brennan Performer(s): Fiorella Mannoia - 1994
Se rimango dentro al letto sai non voglio crescere più non è questo il mondo adatto a noi non voglio crescere più parlatori in compagnia non li ascolto più troppe volte voglio andare via ho pagato il conto e non ci sto non voglio crescere più se c' è un treno che non prenderò non voglio crescere più quei progetti che non so che non farò mai io scadenze lunghe non ne ho no no non è la vita che mi cambierà non voglio crescere più non è la vostra finta libertà non voglio crescere più io non voglio grasso ai fianchi coi capelli tutti bianchi quando il passo lento arranca con le gambe sulla panca io non cresco più e mentre mamma grida con papà non voglio crescere più e questa notte lui non tornerà non voglio crescere più resto chiuso in casa mia prima di ogni nostalgia io non voglio prato croce e cosi sia vedo un mondo piccolo non voglio crescere più il disegno è spicciolo non voglio crescere più il denaro è il crimine se il lavoro è un limite io non voglio collezioni niente conti delle azioni non coltivo un ambizione cambio sempre convinzione dentro ho solo una canzone io non cresco più
Jeremías Composer(s): Jorge Fandermole Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Jeremías apretado de colores, sonreía desgajado de sollozos convirtiendo, trozo a trozo la tristeza en alegría Polvo y trapos él se desprende de su alma a manotazos... Que se rían en las gradas de su pena enmascarada que le devuelvan de su alma los pedazos Hubo un tiempo de cielos claros de vida que lo llevaba de la mano... Y cobardeando, por lo bajo se arrancó el amor de cuajo e hizo de su carpa su cielo de payaso Madrugadas son de lágrimas calientes en su almohada que cuando el público pide sonreir él llora y ríe por su rosa de cachada Muy a prisa buscó el vuelo que le devolvió la risa de trapecio y pista en sombra de mil niños que lo nombran de muerte que lo acaricia Silencio que envuelve gritos... Y una niñá lo lloró muy despacito... Borró de miedo su intento por volver a estar contento y tener, del cielo azul un pedacito

Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - Door Of The Sun (Gigliola Cinquetti) 1975 - Vasten Auringon Siltaa (Katri Helena)
Un'anima avevo così candida e pura che forse per paura con te l'amore non ho fatto mai Cercavo le strade più strane del mondo invece da te si arrivava per chiari sentieri e adesso che sento il tuo corpo vicino io nel buio ti chiedo di portarmi con te
Alle porte del sole ai confini del mare quante volte col pensiero ti ho portato insieme a me e nel buio sognavo la tua mano leggera Ogni porta che si apriva mi sembrava primavera Alle porte del sole ai confini del mare quante volte col pensiero ti ho portato insieme a me ti ho portato insieme a me ti ho portato insieme a me
Che cosa mi dici? Che cosa succede? Mi dici di cercare una casa per vivere insieme un grande giardino sospeso nel cielo e mille bambini con gli occhi dipinti d'amore Allora i pensieri non sono illusioni allora è proprio vero che io sto volando con te
Alle porte del sole ai confini del mare quante volte col pensiero ti ho portato insieme a me e nel buio sognavo la tua mano leggera Ogni porta che si apriva mi sembrava primavera Alle porte del sole ai confini del mare quante volte col pensiero ti ho portato insieme a me e nel buio sognavo la tua mano leggera Ogni porta che si apriva mi sembrava primavera Alle porte del sole ai confini del mare quante volte col pensiero ti ho portato insieme a me ti ho portato insieme a me ti ho portato insieme a me insieme a me

J'Entends Ta Voix Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'entends un monde au fond de moi Qui vibre et gronde et plein d'émoi J'entends mon coeur qui bat très fort Et tout autour de moi chuchote J'entends un bruit, j'entends un pas Et puis j'entends ta voix
La porte s'ouvre à deux battants Et je découvre coeur battant Ton regard clair, tes cheveux d'or Qui tombent sur tes joues pâlottes J'entends ton rire et pour ma joie Chérie j'entends ta voix Elle déverse avec chaleur Des mots qui bercent mon bonheur Et des merveilles par mon oreille Jusqu'à mon coeur Elle me trouble brouille mes yeux Et je vois double c'est merveilleux Je suis grisé, je perds le nord Pauvre amoureux, je deviens roi Lorsque j'entends ta voix
Car ta voix mon amour C'est le flot de bonheur Qui soudain me parcourt Et m'inonde le coeur Je suis en un instant Prêt à n'importe quoi Lorsque j'entends ta voix
Je me sens tout à coup Pris dans un tourbillon J'ai envie de crier De perdre la raison De chanter à tue-tête Et monter sur les toits Lorsque j'entends ta voix
Dans le silence de nos jeux Elle s'élance à petit feu Et puis s'enflamme Parle à mon âme Et peu à peu J'oublie la vie, le temps qui court Pour la folie de notre amour Et sur mon coeur quand je te tiens Soudain je ne perçois plus rien Car tout se tait autour de nous La vie le monde et ses remous Pour que résonne seul en moi L'écho de ta voix
Door Of The Sun ((Adapted from: Alle Porte Del Sole (Gigliola Cinquetti) - 1973)) ((Finnish Version: Vasten Auringon Siltaa (Katri Helena) - 1975)) Composer(s): Corrado Conti - Lorenzo Pilat - Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Norman Newell Performer(s): Gigliola Cinquetti - 1973
I look in the mirror, but I look at a stranger Can this be the sensible me who said he wouldn't fall in love I suddenly saw you, and I knew there was danger Why run away when I love you and want you forever I know I'm a dreamer, but I don't want to wake up Whenever you touch me I can fly to the sky
Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me E nel buio sognavo, la tua mano leggera Ogni porta che si apriva, mi sembrava primavera
Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me Ti ho portato insieme a me, ti ho portato insieme a me
I look in the future, the golden tomorrows As long as you're walking beside me, I'll always be a dreamer As long as we're sharing, the smiles and the sorrows Make everyday we're together, a day to remember I have no illusions, just a heart full of lovin' It's a wonderful world I know, whenever you're near
To the door of the sun, to the ends of the sea I will travel anywhere as long as you are there with me On the wings of the wind, in the arms of a storm It is always summer weather, with your love to keep me warm
Alle porte del sole, ai confini del mare Quante volte col pensiero, ti ho portato insieme a me Ti ho portato insieme a me, ti ho portato insieme a me Insieme a me
I Don't Wanna Be Tied Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
I want my share of love, it might as well be known But I ain't thinking of one girl to love alone That ain't the way it's gonna be I'm on my own and I am free And I've been satisfied, so I don't wanna be tied
Somebody's loving arms can sure be sweet I've found But I want no-one's arms to ever hold me down Once I get caught inside a net I'm gonna run I bet I'm gonna run and hide, I don't wanna be tied
I've seen lovers who were matched They thought that love could stay Once they cared and got attached, it seems that love just slipped away Don't want no claims on me, don't want no chains that bind As anyone could see I say what's on my mind Well there ain't nothing I conceal, I'm gonna play the field The field of love is wide
I don't wanna be tied The field of love is wide I don't wanna be tied The field of love is wide I don't wanna be tied I said I don't, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be tied
J'Entends La Sirène Composer(s): Raymond Asso; Marguerite Monnot Performer(s): Edith Piaf
J'entends encore la sirène Du beau navire tout blanc Qui, voilà bien des semaines Va des Iles sous le Vent Lorsqu'à la marée montante Il entra dans le vieux port Je riais, j'étais contente Et mon cur battait très fort
Le vent chantait sur la dune Et jouait avec la mer Où se reflétait la lune Dans le ciel, tout était clair Le premier qui vint à terre Fut un jeune moussaillon Le deuxième, un vieux grand-père Puis un homme à trois galons Donnez-moi, ô capitaine Du beau navire tout blanc Qui venait des mers lointaines Un beau marin pour amant Je l'attendrai sur la dune Là-bas, tout près de la mer Au ciel brillera la lune Dans mon cur tout sera clair Il est venu, magnifique Avec une flamme... en Dieu Venant des lointains tropiques Savait des mots merveilleux Me piqua toute une bague Me jura d'éternels serments Que se répétaient les vagues En clapotant doucement Nous étions seuls sur la dune Le vent caressait la mer Dans le ciel riait la lune Et lui mordait dans ma chair Il partit sur son navire Son beau navire tout blanc Et partit sans me le dire Un soir, au soleil couchant
J'entends toujours la sirène Du bateau qui l'emporta Sa voix hurla, inhumaine "Tu ne le reverras pas!" Et, depuis lors, sous la lune Je vais écouter le vent Qui vient le soir, sous la dune Me parler de mon amant
Women Of Today ((French Version: Les Filles d'Aujourd'hui (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Anywhere I stare, girls are always there in plenty Nearly fully bloomed, curly and perfumed and scenty And I get as high as I did when I was twenty You carry me away, women of today
In their denim jeans, to the tv screen they glue me Thoughts of ev'ry kind, in my dreamy mind pursue me Can't they realise how their pretty eyes undo me You're more than I can say, women of today
I'm completely attracted, it's true But what does it take to make it with you
Back in sixty-two, all we had to do was flatter With a little wine and a little line of chatter But to modern birds, all the charming words don't matter Oh, teach me what to say, women of today
Since the world began, woman was for man created She may treat him rough, he may feel he's suffocated Still he takes the knocks, like a fool intoxicated You hold us in your sway, women of today
Walking down the street, good enough to eat, she thrills me In a passing crowd, arrogant and proud, she chills me Lying on the beach, just beyond my reach, it kills me Near, yet so far away, women of today
You take your independence with ease But I'm on my knees, oh, liberate me, please
Out of Adam's rib you have won your liberation But you can't destroy that old girl meets boy vibration Any guys's a nut who denies that gut sensation You take my breath away, women of today
I Don't Wanna Be A One Night Stand Composer(s): Layng Martine Jr. Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Now you ask me if I will go with you Well I'd like to but I don't know if it's right Are you looking for someone to care for you Or just someone to love you tonight
Well I don't want to be a one night stand So if that's what you got planned Baby before we go you better let me know I don't want to be a one night stand
It been so long since I've had some loving And your kisses make me wish that you were mine Now it'd be so easy for me to fall for you And let myself have a good time
Well I don't want to be a one night stand So if that's what you got planned Baby before we go you better let me know I don't want to be a one night stand
Well I don't want to be a one night stand So if that's what you got planned Baby before we go you better let me know I don't want to be a one night stand
Well I don't want to be a one night stand So if that's what you got planned Baby before we go you better let me know I don't want to be a one night stand
