I Gave My Love A Diamond Composer(s): Bert Berns; Wes Farrell Performer(s): Them & Van Morrison
I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone I gave my love a promise that had no truth What good is a promise without no truth?
I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told I gave my love a story that had no end What good is a story that's got no end? Tell me
I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis line I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha! And what good is a letter without no stamp?
Goodbye baby I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on I ain't got no tall tale Don't call me - I'll call you See ya
Jivaro Song Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Jivaro, Jivaro
Vide vite mon cerveau Je t'en prie Jivaro Réduis ma tête à zéro Que j'échappe enfin aux femmes À l'alcool et aux tripots Je t'en prie Jivaro Vide vite mon cerveau Je t'en prie Jivaro Réduis ma tête à zéro Jivaro
Le ciné, la télé et même le LSD N'arrivent plus, Jivaro, à me faire décoller Je t'en prie Jivaro Vide vite mon cerveau Je t'en prie Jivaro Réduis ma tête à zéro
Jivaro, Jivaro,
Je vais exploser bientôt Sous le poids de la vie, de ma femme, de mon auto Je t'en prie Jivaro Vide vite mon cerveau Je t'en prie Jivaro Réduis ma tête à zéro Jivaro, Jivaro Vide vite mon cerveau
I Gave My Love A Cherry (Traditional) Performer(s): Eddy Arnold and multiple other artists
I gave my love a cherry That had no stone I gave my love a chicken That had no bone I told my love a story That had no end I gave my love a baby With no crying
How can there be a cherry That has no stone? And how can there be a chicken That has no bone? And how can there be a story That has no end? And how can there be a baby With no crying?
A cherry when it's blooming It has no stone A chicken when in the shell It has no bone The story of how I love you It has no end A baby when it's sleeping It's no crying
I Found You In My Dreams Composer(s): Joseph George Gilbert; Michael Carr Performer(s): Sam Browne
My heart was crying til I found you in my dreams My heart stopped sighing when I found you in my dreams The moon above, your song of love created romance Kisses so tender made me surrender, dear But now Im singing a song of a million themes Your smile is bringing the joy of a million schemes Youre my ideal, and now that I know youre real I bless the night that I found you in my dreams
J'Irai Où Tu Iras Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Il y a des moments si beau Qu'on voudrait y croire Quand on veut les saisir Quand on sait les voir Et puisqu'il faut vivre Etre ensemble ou se suivre C'est beaucoup plus fort Je suis peut etre celle qui te fermera les yeux Peut etre qu'on se croise pour un instant ou deux Dans ce qui nous entoure Y a tellement d'élans d'amour Qui se perdent
Là Là C'est un volcan qui gronde Là Là C'ets un rêve qui s'en va Là Là Un homme qui sort de l'ombre Là Là Et se bat Là Là On s'écroule sous le nombre Là Là Mais les enfants sont rois Là Là On est au bout du monde Là Là Mais moi... J'irai où tu iras
Quelquefois je suis l'eau Quand tu voudrais le feu Peut-être qu'on est seul Même quand on est deux Mais quand tout semble possible Partager l'inaccessible C'est beaucoup plus fort
Là Là C'est une passion qui sombre Là Là On fait des feux de joie Là Là On veut refaire le monde Là Là On y croit Là Là C'est la force qui tombe Là Là Et fait régner sa loi Là Là La colère et la fronde Là Là Mais moi... J'irai où tu iras
I Found The End Of The Rainbow Composer(s): John Mears; Harry Tierney; Joseph McCarthy Performer(s): The Big Apple Chorus
Thought I'd never find my happiness I just watched the days roll by But a ray of gladness came through clouds of sadness like a little sunbeam from the sky I found a rainbow of a golden hue it led me to a land where dreams come true
Thought I'd never find my luck day failure was my middle name My imagination, thrilled with new sensation I had a winning in life's game here after I will always trust in fate the sun will always shine for those who wait
I found the end of the rainbow when you first smiled on me all my happiness came with your caress and the world was fair to see believe me, somebody way up in heaven just sent the sunshine through and I found the end of the rainbow when I found you sweet you

Jinetes En El Cielo English Title: (Ghost) Riders In The Sky Composer(s): Stan Jones; A. Alpin Performer(s): Raphael; and various other artists
Leyenda de un jinete que galopa sin cesar Cumpliendo la condena de cruzar la eternidad Por traicionar en vida lo que fue su gran amor Sembrando llantos y dolor en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Detras de aquel jinete van diablos en troquel Que gritan y castigan sin descanso a su corcel Son tantos los amores que en su vida traiciono Que nunca encontrara perdon en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Pusieron rosas rojas en memoria de su amor El cielo se ha encendido con un bello resplandor Y ya la enamorada le ha sabido perdonar Borro su culpa la oracion, por fin descansara

All my friends thought I was cryin' it's strange to see a good man going down I gave all I had to give and you came along, taught me how to live
I want to thank you each and every day thank you baby, for showin' me the way I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea oh I found love, love, love, I found love ...

Lost in a city that has no pity I found a rose, Little lonesome rose Where smiling faces, hide broken hearts In happy places, where sorrow starts Some body's sister, whose folks have missed her A mother dear She's a lonesome tear For little baby, who went away She's kneeling maybe, just now to pray I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame Beneath the powder and paint Maybe the heart of a saint Where sorrow grows, I found a rose I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame But maybe deep in her heart She's thinking of a new start Where sorrow grows, I found a rose

Jimmy says, "Do this.." Jimmy says, "Do this.." I say, "I don't want to!" Jimmy says, "Do this.." Jimmy says, "Do this.." I say, "I don't want to!" Trying to make up my own mind Got my own direction to find! Yeah, I know Jimmy's cool and everyone at school Usually does what Jimmy does, without thinking - just because Jimmy says, "Try this.." Jimmy says, "Try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Jimmy says, "Try this.." Jimmy says, "Try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Sometimes it's just no fun To feel like you're the only one Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong But they're not my friends if they don't see That I don't like people pushing me! Hey man, what's the matter with you? Oh, come on! Everybody's going! Chicken! Nobody's gonna know! What are you, scared? Everybody does it! Come on! I might hang out with Jim But I don't need to be just like him Got to listen to myself Cause you can't let someone else Always make your move for you! Got to find out what you want to do! Jimmy says, "Try this.." Come on and try this! I say, "I don't need it!" Jimmy says, "Come on, try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Oh Jimmy, Jimmy
